OVERTIME REPORT FOR ALL 22 DEPARTMENTS FOR APRIL 2025, AS PROVIDED BY CITY 23 CONTROLLER, RECEIVED APRIL 23, 2025. 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. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have two 4 announcements. So coming up this Saturday, a 5 local nonprofit, the Park Place River 6 Association is hosting their annual free 7 fishing derby. It's going to be on Saturday. 8 It's going to be from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m. 9 Registration opens at 9. It's ages 10 3 to 15 and all are welcome. Unlike other 11 derbies, it's free across the board for 12 children from 3 years old to 15. Food and 13 drinks are available. The only thing they 14 don't provide is fishing poles. And trophies 15 will be awarded for the biggest caught. 16 And they will have their stocking 17 Friday at 5:30. And it's near DPW, the DPW 18 headquarters on Albright Avenue. Next in 19 regard to recycling, recycle pickup on Monday 20 the 28th, the recycling calendar is now the 21 same and correct moving forward. So the City 22 website was updated. 23 There was an error that caused some 24 confusion. But DPW dispatched a team on Monday 25 afternoon to the 6th to pick up cardboard  5 1 recyclables in West Scranton. But at this 2 point in time, the city website is updated and 3 the calendar is correct moving forward, 4 correct, Mr. Voldenberg? 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct, 6 Mr. Schuster. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That's 8 all. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 10 Anyone else? I have two. On Friday, May 9th 11 at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nay Aug Park, Age 12 Friendly Lackawanna Group organized this event 13 geared towards senior citizens and they will 14 provide information on home care resources, 15 healthcare resources. 16 It will be an opportunity to 17 reorganize older adults in our community as 18 well as the organizations that support them. 19 There will be free food, live music, free 20 entrance to the museum. Also free entrance to 21 the Brook's Mine. And there's a bunch of other 22 activities going on. 23 You could look up on that Age 24 Friendly Lackawanna Group and it explains the 25 whole thing. And then also on May 17th from 9  6 1 a.m. to 1 p.m., in South Scranton, the South 2 Scranton Neighborhood Association will have a 3 neighborhood cleanup. They're meeting at the 4 August Haas Funeral Home at 202 Pittston 5 Avenue. And I will bring that one up again 6 next week because we're about three weeks out. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 8 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 9 MR. SMURL: Angela Ramone. 10 MS. RAMONE: Resident of Scranton. 11 I lived here before a few years ago. I moved 12 out to Blakely. I moved back recently. And 13 I'm very happy to begin participating once 14 again in my little civil duty here in Scranton. 15 The first and most important thing 16 that I'd like to ask the board tonight is 17 whether or not each and every one of you is 18 going to admit to protecting our LGBTQ 19 residents here in Scranton. 20 Given the election coming up, there 21 are several people running who have made it 22 their mission to single out and bully queer 23 youth, especially transchildren in our school 24 system. And I would like to know if the people 25 here before me today believe it's important for  7 1 our representatives to focus on actual 2 important issues like making sure tax dollars 3 are spent wisely and making sure that the city 4 is running properly and not ranting and raving 5 on Facebook about wanting children's genitals 6 to be inspected. 7 Earlier before I came in to speak, 8 there was a man here speak on tourism in 9 Lackawanna County. And I would like to let the 10 City know for other places across the United 11 States that have failed to protect their 12 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender 13 residents, they have found massive, massive 14 declines in tourism because as Schuster pointed 15 out with the Electric City Tattoo Convention, 16 massive, massive event, one of the largest 17 events you're going to see in this city, very 18 few of those artists will come to Scranton if 19 they feel unsafe, if they feel they're not 20 going to be protected while they're here and 21 their rights will not be secured. 22 We will not have the Scranton Half 23 Marathon being nearly as successful an event if 24 the participants believe that they are going to 25 be subjected to invasive sex testing. And it's  8 1 the same thing for pretty much any women's 2 sports team that wants to participate here in 3 Lackawanna County in Scranton specifically. 4 They believe that they are going to 5 be subjected to harassment, to this invasive 6 tests in order to prove that they are male or 7 female enough to justify where they belong. 8 They will simply not come here. And our city 9 will lose out on these wonderful, wonderful 10 people, some who live here, some who come here 11 from very far away to become a part of our 12 community. 13 And even though outside of the 14 economic impact, morally, I do not believe we 15 could justify allowing members of our community 16 to be singled out and bullied by our own 17 representatives. I think it's abhorrent. 18 And I think that especially now in 19 this moment with how many attacks on queer 20 people across the Unites States are happening, 21 I think it's important that the City of 22 Scranton takes a firm stand on protecting our 23 residents. 24 So there is about two minutes left 25 if I could get a comment from each of you on  9 1 the board here. I would like to know how each 2 and every one of you feel about protecting our 3 queer residents. 4 MR. SMURL: How we do it is in Fifth 5 Order when each Council person does comments or 6 motions, that's when they will speak on it, 7 okay? 8 MS. RAMONE: Can I trust that I'll 9 hear from each you when that time comes? 10 MR. SMURL: You cannot speak after 11 that. It will be Council's time to speak. 12 MS. RAMONE: Yes. 13 MR. SMURL: And then if anyone wants 14 to speak on anything that you've asked them, 15 then they may do it at that point. 16 MS. RAMONE: Okay. 17 MR. SMURL: Okay? 18 MS. RAMONE: I'm looking forward to 19 hearing a response from each and every one of 20 you. Thank you very much for your time. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Next, Joan 22 Hodowanitz. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 24 Scranton. Now, first I'd like to just remind 25 everyone that Rick Steves will be at the  10 1 Cultural Center tomorrow at 7 p.m. The event 2 is free. But you need a ticket to get in. And 3 you could get a ticket at a local library or 4 ticket master. 5 He does a really fine job if you've 6 ever seen his travel logs on PBS. He's very 7 entertaining. 8 And also, just remind everybody that 9 the Friends of the Scranton Public Library will 10 be sponsoring a bus trip to the Franklin 11 Institute in Philadelphia on August 16th. And 12 it's important that anyone who is interested 13 register for this event early rather than late. 14 The bus only has 55 seats. And the 15 seats go very quickly. And if you would like 16 to go on this trip, you should -- you could get 17 information at the Scranton Public Library or 18 you can contact Jenny Shirner who works at the 19 library. And she'll be happy to help you 20 register. 21 The event is $90 for those who are 22 not members of The Friends, 85 for Members of 23 the Friends, and $75 for children. So it's a 24 great one day trip, get out of Scranton and see 25 a really good institution.  11 1 Last week I asked if there was an 2 ordinance covering littering, and apparently 3 there is in Chapter 305 of the City Code. And 4 I'll just read you some of the appropriate 5 excerpts: 6 No person shall sweep into or 7 deposit in any gutter, street or public place 8 the accumulation of litter from any building or 9 lot or from any public or private sidewalk or 10 driveway. Any person who violates any of the 11 provisions of this section shall be subject to 12 the penalty of a fine not to exceed $300 or be 13 subject to imprisonment not to exceed 90 days. 14 For those of you, you know, with 15 your leaf blowers blowing the trash from the 16 sidewalks into the street, be advised. It's 17 not permitted. Speaking of criminals, the last 18 week or so we had quite an uptick in reports of 19 gunfire in the city and in the local 20 communities. 21 This is one article, DA: Shots 22 fired in city, one victim hit multiple times. 23 According to Brian Gallagher, our DA, the 24 frequency of shootings and violence within the 25 City of Scranton is becoming more rampant. We  12 1 need to continue to invest in programs to help 2 our at risk youth find a different path. 3 We also desperately need to invest 4 in law enforcement to find -- to fund police 5 operations in our fight to remove criminals 6 from our community. His comments came after 7 multiple incidents of gun violence since early 8 March. 9 I think the uptick in the gun 10 violence relates to the warmer weather that's 11 coming about now. And kids and other people 12 are able to get out on the streets. And it 13 seems to me that the number one priority of 14 local government is public safety and the 15 safety of children and the residents of the 16 city. 17 We need to go back to this issue. I 18 know we had the -- after Detective Gilmartin 19 Martin was shot, you know, we had a flurry of 20 activity about trying to look into gang 21 violence. 22 Well, now that the warmer weather is 23 here upon us, we're going to see this problem 24 raise its ugly head and we need to get ahead of 25 it. If that means investing more city funds  13 1 and tax revenue against this problem, I say do 2 it. 3 My only other comment is on 5-C, the 4 construction easement agreements for the 5 sinkhole repair project. The cost is to be 6 determined. Does anybody got any kind of idea 7 how much this might cost or is this, you 8 know -- 9 MR. SMURL: You don't know what 10 you're going to get into until you start 11 attacking it. 12 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. There's no 13 cap on this though. Whatever it costs, it 14 needs to be done. 15 MR. SMURL: Well, we don't have a 16 lot of experience with that part, sorry. Thank 17 you. Les Spindler. 18 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 19 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 20 homeowner. It's nice to see Curt Camoni here 21 tonight. He gave a great presentation. I've 22 known Kurt for a very long time. I -- maybe 23 some of you know that when the Red Barons moved 24 here in 1989, he was a big shot with that 25 organization.  14 1 And I was an original member of the 2 Red Barons Booster Club. So we crossed paths 3 many times. And when he left and went to 4 Lackawanna County, I haven't seen him in many, 5 many years. But I'm not surprised he's doing a 6 good job. He's a real good guy. 7 Next thing, Councilman Schuster, you 8 mentioned about what happened yesterday. I was 9 affected by that. I wasn't too happy. But so 10 my cardboard wasn't picked up. And we had a 11 real, real lot of it, me and my daughter lives 12 next door to me. 13 So the stuff that couldn't fit in 14 the bin we put out for the garbage. We were 15 really upset. But then I went down to DPW. 16 And the supervisor came up. And I asked for 17 the supervisor. And he came up to me and he 18 said -- he knew me. He called me by name. He 19 said, "Mr. Spindler, we're taking care of it. 20 He said there was a mixup and we're going to 21 send other trucks up. Everything will be 22 picked up by evening." 23 So it came within the hour. So at 24 least they, you know, took care of the mistake. 25 I hope it doesn't happen again.  15 1 Next thing, last Thursday on Channel 2 16 news they did a piece on the two democratic 3 mayoral candidates. Paige Cognetti lied. She 4 took full credit for getting the city out of 5 distressed status. That's wrong. 6 Whatever Bill Courtright did, he 7 went to prison and he paid for his mistakes. 8 But he helped get us out of distressed status. 9 When he took office after Chris Doherty left, 10 this city was in shambles. And Bill's first 11 four years, the city turned around a lot and 12 then he got in trouble and but she didn't -- 13 he got the ball rolling. 14 She might have finished the job, but 15 she shouldn't have taken credit for doing the 16 whole thing because she didn't. She lies as 17 much as the idiot that's in the White House. 18 Speaking of him, it was on the news last night. 19 He bragged about what a great job he was going 20 to do. 21 They showed the clips again last 22 night, the day I'm elected president, I'm going 23 to fix the economy. Well, we know that was a 24 lie. So something else, before I'm elected I'm 25 going to end the war in Ukraine, another lie.  16 1 Latest poll, 72 percent of the people polled 2 have a negative opinion of how he's handling 3 the economy. 4 And he's on TV tonight. He'll 5 probably say he's doing a great job. I hope 6 the suckers that voted for him don't believe 7 him but they probably will. His approval 8 rating is 39 percent, lowest in history for 9 President in his first 100 days. They said 10 that last night, lowest in history. 11 And people used to come here bashing 12 Joe Biden. And like I said in the past, after 13 this guy's done, people will wish Joe Biden was 14 back as President because this guy's making a 15 mess of the country. 16 And hopefully everybody gets out to 17 vote next year in the midterms and gets all the 18 Republicans out of Congress. Thank you for 19 your time. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler. 21 Lee Morgan. 22 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council. 23 The first thing I have here is, you know, 24 there's a difference between ignorant and 25 stupid. Stupid people believe things that  17 1 aren't true when you can't convince them of the 2 truth. 3 Ignorant people haven't been 4 educated and you could teach them things and 5 they change their opinion. The other thing I 6 have here today is, I spoke last week about the 7 case management with the federal judge. And he 8 brought up Manhattan versus Haddock. 9 So, of course, since that hearing 10 I've looked at that case. And I've looked at 11 the Supreme Court's decision in that case. And 12 I'd just like to say to everybody here because 13 as this thing spins through the federal court 14 system, I want to do everybody a big favor and 15 let them know what's going on with this 16 litigation and how poorly our elected officials 17 have represented you and all the games they've 18 played because discovery is coming and 19 depositions. 20 And I just think it's important for 21 somebody to be honest with the public for once 22 and let them see the government we really have 23 and not the one that they perceive that we 24 have. 25 So in Manhattan versus Haddock, Dee  18 1 Dee Haddock and Jesus Papoleto made a video 2 that was critical of Manhattan Neighborhood 3 Network which was a public access channel. 4 So they put the video up on the Time 5 Warner System. And what happened is, the City 6 of New York did the same thing basically the 7 City of Scranton did -- although I haven't done 8 discovery yet to figure out exactly what the 9 City of Scranton did with our public access 10 channel. 11 But that is all going to come out 12 here in the future. And I think it's very 13 important for the people to pay attention 14 because you are paying a franchise fee. We're 15 going to have to figure out where all of that 16 money is going to. So anyhow, they took the 17 video down. 18 Now, when the judge brought this 19 case up with Attorney Tim Hinton, he said this 20 case might be troubling for me because the 21 Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh had written the 22 opinion on this case. I haven't read opinion 23 on this case but I will. 24 But that has nothing to do with my 25 accusations or my complaint in the court. So I  19 1 think the judge is misguided. And I think that 2 like I said to Attorney Hinton, I think he'd do 3 his client a big favor if he negotiated and 4 settled. 5 But he's going to follow himself 6 wherever he wants to go. And I'm only a truck 7 driver, but, you know, let's all have fun and 8 see what happens. And on another thing, I 9 watched the mayoral debates. I'm shocked that 10 the residents of this city would accept that as 11 a debate. 12 We've been talking about blight and 13 utter silliness at debates for decades here. 14 And we haven't changed this city, not one bit. 15 And, you know, I would like to highlight 16 something for everybody in this city. We have 17 a host of homeless people just ignored by the 18 city and ignored by the non-profits. 19 I have a homeless -- well, formally 20 homeless man who works up in the frack fields. 21 He was homeless in Scranton for six months, 22 got absolutely no help with job search, did get 23 some second-hand clothes and some out-of-date 24 food and lived under the bridge across from 25 Redner's.  20 1 And the help he got was just 2 atrocious. It was like he took -- he got two 3 showers a week that the shelter on Olive Street 4 set him up with. But, I mean, you know, we 5 have a city that's just totally incompetently 6 run because there haven't been any solutions 7 for the homeless. 8 And, you know, it's not like a lot 9 of people care about the homeless. But, you 10 know, we talk about government all the time. 11 But, you know, honestly and truthfully, we talk 12 about a lot of things. And, you know, when we 13 talk about the recovery plan, the city hasn't 14 recovered yet. 15 And for the people who think that we 16 came out of Act 47 and the city's recovered, it 17 hasn't. And the pension fund hasn't been 18 stabilized either. And I think that we keep 19 getting lied to by our elected officials and 20 the Mayor. 21 And, Bill Courtright, he was guilty, 22 in my opinion of a lot more than what he got 23 convicted in court of. Okay, and I just think 24 it's time for the residents to really look at 25 the harm he did to this city to transfer the  21 1 Scranton Sewer Authority, their water rates, 2 their sewer rates, the loss of the Parking 3 Authority garages, just it was a nightmare. 4 And it's not like the Council did 5 anything for us because they spent a ton of 6 money downtown for Doherty Pocket Park. We're 7 just getting lit on fire by incompetent 8 government. Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan. 10 Rick Sabetta. Rick, did I pronounce your name 11 properly? 12 MR. SABETTA: Pretty good, Sabetta, 13 pretty close. I won't tell Joe. Uh, 14 greetings, distinguish gentlemen and women. My 15 name is Richard Sabetta. I'm a property owner 16 at 423 and 425 10th Avenue. I came here 17 tonight for actually a few questions all 18 related to blighted properties. 19 The first question would be is, how 20 do we handle complaints on blighted properties? 21 And let me just clarify a little bit. I had 22 filed four written complaints here at the 23 clerk's office over the course of maybe three 24 years. And so far there really has been no 25 action.  22 1 And the question I have is the 2 property next door to me 427 10th Avenue. And 3 it's a garage. And I hate to use the term 4 garage. It's more like a structure. It's 5 approximately guesstimate 30 feet by 50 feet by 6 30 feet high, two cars with an upper level. 7 The thing is literally falling down. 8 The roof is caving. The police have put up 9 barricades in the front on Aswell Court. But 10 nothing is being done. Now, it's falling on my 11 garage. It's literally falling in the street. 12 And the exterior of the garage is 13 literally the old 30 foot wooden telephone pole 14 that people used because it's like an elevated 15 property. It's not level. At one time I guess 16 they used it as a clothes line. 17 So it's still attached to the 18 building. And the supports on it are gone. 19 It's only sitting on the ground. That's going 20 to fall. It's a 30 foot pole and it's going to 21 I know at least take down my fence and possibly 22 kill my pets, not to mention kids that play in 23 the area. 24 Again, nothing's been really done 25 with it. When I did come here at another time,  23 1 at that time Council and all due respect gave a 2 nice little speech about, oh, we hired six, 3 whatever, eight, new code enforcement officers. 4 We have the new code enforcement cars. 5 But nothing's being done. With all 6 due respect and no offense, but having code 7 officers is like having that policeman in a 8 pretty uniform. He looks nice. But if you 9 don't give him any powers to enforce anything 10 or don't do anything, he's useless. No 11 disrespect to you. I appreciate your service. 12 But, I mean, so what's the purpose? 13 I mean, the answer you got is we got six new 14 whatever enforcement officers, new cars and 15 they look pretty dancing around, but nothing's 16 being done. So, like, what could you expect? 17 What's the process? 18 MR. SMURL: Rick, if you would leave 19 your -- an e-mail address or a way I could 20 contact you, I will tell you tomorrow. I will 21 look up the address. And I will tell you all 22 the information that we have on it to this 23 point. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: So, Mr. Smurl, this 25 property I've turned in. Frank has dealt with  24 1 it many times. We've sent many e-mails into 2 code enforcement. Have we got anything updated 3 about that address? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, we haven't only 5 to follow up like Mr. Smurl said. 6 MR. SMURL: I don't want to -- get 7 to it, but it will just -- 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Just so you know on 9 our end, we've -- we put it up to the 10 administration as well. 11 MR. SMURL: But I will tell you 12 everything that's been done to today -- up 13 until today and tell you what -- and I will 14 actually send you something that shows you the 15 process that everything is supposed to go 16 through. 17 I'm not saying that it went through 18 that. I'm just saying I will get you all that 19 information. I will send it to you tomorrow. 20 But I'll need an e-mail address or a way to 21 contact you. 22 MR. SABETTA: It is supposedly 23 condemned. But again, it's formalities. I 24 could put up posters but -- 25 MR. SMURL: Yeah, I don't know that.  25 1 I'd have to look that up and see exactly what 2 information we have on it. 3 MR. MCANDREW: It might be on the 4 demo list. We don't have it in front of us. 5 It would be a blessing for you. So we'll try 6 to find out for you. 7 MR. SABETTA: It is an extreme 8 safety hazard. It's a 30 foot high structure. 9 And on top of it, add that 30 foot wooden 10 telephone pole. It's just literally balancing. 11 MR. SMURL: Okay. I will get that 12 information to you tomorrow. I just need an 13 e-mail if you'll give it to Kathy, an e-mail 14 address here. Thank you. 15 MR. SABETTA: And again, if you're 16 aware of it, the police have put up barricades. 17 But -- 18 MR. SMURL: I know. But I have to 19 look it up and I can't get out of this program 20 right now to look it up, just leave it with 21 Kathy. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: This property may be 23 on the demo list. However, the last update 24 that we got was that there's no -- there's no 25 timeline for the demolition of it.  26 1 MR. SABETTA: Okay. So we have 2 absolutely no idea of a timeline. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: It may be on the demo 4 list, but no timeline from the administration 5 as to when it will be demoed. 6 MR. SABETTA: Okay. Thank you. If 7 by chance I don't know if you could answer this 8 legally or not, but if it does fall and damage 9 my property, do I have any recourse? 10 MR. SMURL: Okay. 11 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President -- 12 MR. SMURL: Will you please just 13 give Kathy a contact so we can take care of it 14 this way? 15 MR. SABETTA: Okay. 16 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you. 17 MR. SABETTA: All right. Thanks for 18 your time. 19 MR. SMURL: Frank, will you pull up 20 all of that information? 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll pull it up and 22 get it to you first thing in the morning. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman. 24 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 25 I only got a few things on my mind tonight.  27 1 One of them was Kelly's -- another attack on 2 Bobby Sheridan's education. This time his 3 words seem to cover all of Scranton's 4 residents, all the hardworking people that 5 don't have diplomas. 6 I think Kelly far, far overestimates 7 his importance and influence to people. You 8 know, when this building was really going back 9 10, 20 years, I stood here with a lot of people 10 trying to save it. 11 I don't ever remember the Mayor 12 coming in going against the grain with us. 13 There's some people -- I think that they -- we 14 had a building for 11 million dollars or 15 something that everybody wanted to go to on 16 Lackawanna. 17 And it was hard to try to defend 18 this old lady. But this -- this is Scranton. 19 I am so happy that the way it came out. I'm so 20 happy we spent money on it. But the Mayor 21 wants to take credit for everything she had 22 nothing to do with. 23 Anybody in office would have gotten 24 grants for parks and roads and streets. I will 25 give her credit for the developers downtown,  28 1 you know, but, look, they got loan forgiveness, 2 tax abatements. How many people in this room 3 ever got a tax refund or a tax -- I paid my 4 taxes twice and couldn't get them out in 2005. 5 Nobody would listen to me. McDowell 6 took my tax money twice. I lost I think it was 7 1,800 or 2,100 or something. I got all kinds 8 of paperwork and checks. Nobody cared. That's 9 the kind of -- really gives you a bad taste in 10 your mouth. 11 Then you hear WNEP, Basalyga, all of 12 these people get tax breaks left and right. 13 And then they want more at taxpayer's expense. 14 I don't think we'd have so many foreclosures if 15 more people knew of some of the possibilities 16 available. I've had trouble in the past with 17 my insurance and everything piling up. 18 And there are -- there are -- I 19 know, Mr. Smurl, you know, what I'm talking 20 about. There's a couple agencies that can help 21 that keep foreclosures from happening or drag 22 them on. I think you could pay -- get a -- get 23 your taxes postponed for a small limited time 24 or something. 25 Nobody knows about it. Nothing is  29 1 there to help people. I have been coming up 2 here, gosh, over 20 years. It's -- I've seen 3 so many changes. We sure need one right now in 4 this government. But it doesn't look like 5 we're going to get it. 6 The word at the Taurus Club is we're 7 going to have another four years of grief and 8 hardness and all the bad parts of this 9 administration. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 11 That's the end of our sign-in sheet. Does 12 anyone else wish to address Council? 13 MR. ARGENTA: Virgil Argenta, 14 Scranton. Can we please recognize Scranton 15 Police Officer and motorcycle patrolman William 16 Donovan who passed away last Thursday? 17 MR. SMURL: Yes, Virgil. I will do 18 that. I didn't know that. 19 MR. ARGENTA: Thank you, sir. The 20 conditions of the roads have become a 21 significant concern on the campaign trail. 22 It's time to seriously address the road 23 conditions that have been subject to humor over 24 the years. 25 It is evident that every  30 1 neighborhood suffers from equally poor road 2 conditions. Can we agree on that, Council? Or 3 do you guys have a special route of smooth 4 roads that we're not privy to? 5 Will the city take responsibility 6 and finance the vehicle repairs necessary for 7 the already struggling residents who had their 8 cars destroyed by these potholes? Pave cut 9 inspectors ensure roads are safely restored 10 after construction and help fund the budget to 11 inspect and excavations. 12 There have been numerous rumors or 13 cyber attacks and subsequent Ransomware 14 payments. If the Ransomware was not directly 15 paid by the city, was it covered by an 16 insurance carrier? Do we have a cyber 17 insurance policy? If so, were they notified of 18 a potential attack? Who is that carrier if we 19 have one? 20 What is the deductible? Were there 21 any claims filed or processed prior to this 22 rumor? When does the policy come up for 23 renewal if we have one? My intent is to 24 understand how the citizens of Scranton are 25 protected.  31 1 If there was an attack, was anyone 2 disciplined? And what steps are being taken to 3 prevent future incidents? If there's no cyber 4 insurance, would it be advisable to include a 5 separate rider or another policy to cover city 6 cell phones, tablets, laptops, PCs? 7 Do we currently have an MDT, which 8 is a mobile display terminal? Let's talk about 9 the DPW contract. Is that still out there for 10 negotiation? 11 MR. SMURL: It's still in 12 negotiation. 13 MR. ARGENTA: The Department of 14 Public Works is essential for city 15 infrastructure and services like road 16 maintenance and waste management, ensuring 17 smooth daily operations and long-term 18 sustainability. 19 The Department of Public Works has 20 been operating without a contract for a long 21 time raising concerns about job stability, 22 identifying the duration of the gap is crucial 23 to addressing the situation promptly. 24 Mr. McAndrew, you can understand 25 this. Understanding DPW is important is  32 1 fundamental like food industry workers who 2 ensure cleanliness and manage crisis. DPW 3 employees maintain our city's infrastructure. 4 They keep public spaces clean, the 5 roads safe, and essential services running. 6 These workers deserve recognition, respect, and 7 support for their tireless efforts. 8 We must prioritize DPW employees' 9 well-being ensuring they are respected and 10 adequately compensated like key food industry 11 workers. DPW staff deserves care and 12 appreciation for their invaluable 13 contributions. 14 It's our duty to treat them with 15 dignity and provide necessary resources for 16 effective performance. In summary, the 17 Department of Public Works is vital to our 18 community. Can we agree to that? 19 The City Council should prioritize 20 solving contract issues and supporting DPW 21 employees. Their work keeps our infrastructure 22 strong, services running smoothly. Valuing 23 these essential workers is crucial for thriving 24 city environment. Step up to the plate, 25 Council. Help them get a fair contract.  33 1 Mr. King, I'm sorry I didn't get 2 your endorsement. We could have been Garlic 3 and Gaelic. Who was playing politics at the 4 Council meetings, Mr. King? 5 Would approves the DPW calendars? 6 Were they one of the people that received any 7 of the raises? Will they be disciplined? Have 8 a great night. And let's not forget Scranton 9 Police Officer William Donovan from the 10 Motorcycle Division, please. Thank you of. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 12 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council, 13 Bob Bolus, Scranton. You know, I've been 14 listening to a lot in this city. And it turns 15 your stomach after time because alls we hear 16 people yapping about are potholes. 17 But you don't hear them saying we 18 need to reenforce our police department that 19 criminals will do one of two things, they'll 20 either stay the hell out of here or get the 21 hell out of here. 22 We want to make this where you open 23 your doors again, left your cars unlocked. And 24 we have haven't done that. And the leadership 25 here needs to move in that direction. We're  34 1 done playing games, shooting here, a shooting 2 there. Let them know you come down the 3 interstate you're coming to Scranton, there'll 4 be somebody waiting to get you and turn you 5 around and get you the heck out of here. 6 So back our police force, back our 7 fire department, give our DPW the people and 8 the tools they need to keep Scranton safe. 9 Make Scranton what it used to be. That 10 leadership isn't out there. I hear everybody 11 talking about this, that and the other. 12 But I don't hear anybody talking 13 about how do we save the hospitals. Not one 14 person come to this podium said how do we save 15 our healthcare in Scranton. I brought up that 16 we should be buying -- you got state and 17 federal money. Buy out the hospitals from the 18 medical college. Let them take it over. 19 Get it government funded. We train 20 the doctors. We train everybody there. Get it 21 away from Geisinger. These doctors will have 22 the discretion to go where they want to be. 23 But we'll have a healthcare again in this area 24 second to none. 25 I haven't heard one person coming to  35 1 podium say that. But we could talk about the 2 stupid potholes, a couple dilapidated 3 buildings. That's not what we're about here. 4 But nobody's paying attention who takes care of 5 us when we need medical treatment. 6 Geisinger's there. Lehigh Valley's 7 there. We had two great hospitals. Years ago 8 my mother was a head nurse at the Mercy 9 Hospital for many, many years. But we've lost 10 all of that because we've turned our back on 11 those that give us the care we need when we're 12 there. 13 So let's look in that direction. 14 Take the blinders off. Think outside the box 15 as we do in the business. We do it as we got 16 to survive. I had a devastating fire that 17 destroyed everything for 55 years I've done. 18 Yet, I'm trying to find a way to cope and 19 recover and move forward. 20 This is how people have to react in 21 this city. Christmas Day I feed thousands of 22 people for 31 years. This past year we gave 23 out over 1,500 turkeys. Rob Bresnahan came 24 there, helped, Chris Chermak. These are the 25 people that are part of your community out  36 1 there. 2 And yet, they don't get the support 3 they need. I believe -- I'm running for Mayor 4 in Scranton on the Republican ticket. A rhino 5 in the Republican party Charles Spano tried to 6 find -- file and keep me off. 7 He was an educator. He filed under 8 2021 instead of 2021 -- 25. Now, here's an 9 educator. How many kids did he pass over that 10 he was that incompetent? He didn't understand 11 21 and 25. The judge hearing the case said, 12 oh, it was a typographical error. 13 He wasn't there. Then the judge 14 started acting as his attorney. And we've 15 appealed all of that. Why did I appeal it? 16 Because I believe in my community. I'm born 17 and raised here. 18 Our trucking company, my family 19 owned started with my father and uncle has been 20 here almost a hundred years. We've been part 21 of this community, blood, sweat and tears. And 22 I'm not about turning my back on it. 23 But people here got to understand 24 something. Let's bring Scranton back. Let's 25 put a swimming pool back that we could go and  37 1 enjoy instead of a stupid splash parks. 2 Let's get back to where we used to 3 be. Bring back what we used to have at Nay Aug 4 when you took your family there and it was 5 called Lake Lincoln. That's the culture I want 6 to reestablish in this city, not drugs, not 7 shootings, not incompetents or deadbeats or 8 anybody else. 9 This was a community that our 10 ancestors came across, came into this country. 11 But they came legally. That's a big word 12 legally. If you're not here legally, then get 13 the hell out of here because we're going throw 14 you out. And we're going to see that we have a 15 police force. 16 And I'm on the Republican ticket. I 17 don't care what they're doing on the Democrats. 18 My issue is I'm here to take care of my city 19 and the people in this city without any games, 20 without any playing around. Thank you. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus. 22 Anyone else? 23 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening, Norma 24 Jeffries, Scranton resident. And the first 25 thing I wanted to say was to thank Dr.  38 1 Rothchild as well as Lynn Labrosky because I 2 was down on South Washington Avenue today. And 3 a lot of potholes were filled and the markings 4 were there to make the right-hand turn or to 5 straight. 6 So they've done a lot of markings 7 down there on South Washington Avenue which was 8 a pleasure. Now, when I got to Lackawanna 9 Avenue to make my right to go -- you know, and 10 start home, Lackawanna Avenue still needs work. 11 But in light of all the things that 12 we have in this city that need to be done, I 13 guess it is sort of a -- shouldn't be at the 14 bottom of the list but it probably is. 15 And I guess this is directed to you, 16 Mr. King. I was up at the Robinson Park today, 17 beautiful park. They've done a great job up 18 there. But something concerned me was the 19 enticement of that water for kids. 20 You know, you have that nice ramp 21 going down there and all. And I thought is 22 this going to be monitored? Who is going to 23 monitor that as summer comes and kids being 24 enticed by water with it being hot because it 25 was hot this afternoon.  39 1 And I thought, oh, who is going to 2 monitor that body of water? I know it's always 3 been there. But it hasn't been as enticing as 4 it is -- as it looks now with the nice ramp 5 that goes right down into it. You could come 6 right up to the edge of the water now. 7 So it's just something for the -- 8 the organization up there to think about as to 9 what they're going to do with the children as 10 summer comes and the hot weather is coming. 11 I was glad to be here and hear some 12 of the information from the Lackawanna Visitors 13 Bureau. Was that where he was from? And as he 14 was speaking, I said, he had all kinds of 15 wonderful things. I couldn't hear everything 16 that he was saying. 17 But the booklet that he had, did he 18 say that you had to go to the building on 19 Jefferson Avenue and get that or where do you 20 get that? 21 MR. MCANDREW: He said -- I asked 22 the question. I asked the question where do 23 you obtain it, a resident. And he said there 24 are multiple places. But you could also go 25 online and request one and they'll mail it to  40 1 you. 2 MS. JEFFRIES: We could request one. 3 MR. MCANDREW: And they'll mail it 4 to you. 5 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. 6 MR. MCANDREW: On their website. 7 MS. JEFFRIES: Because I have a lot 8 of company that comes in on the weekends. And 9 so often I'm thinking what am I going to do, 10 what am I going to do, you know, when company 11 comes and find things to do. But that would be 12 great if I could plan things. 13 MR. MCANDREW: You know what, you 14 could have mine. I could always get another 15 one. 16 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. Thank you. 17 MR. MCANDREW: So you don't have to 18 wait. 19 MS. JEFFRIES: I'll pick it up 20 afterwards. 21 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. 22 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. So I was 23 thinking about that. And, of course, the 24 homeless is still on my mind. And people come 25 up here and talk at the podium about homeless.  41 1 You know, we can talk about it or we cannot 2 talk about it. 3 But guess what, it doesn't go away. 4 It's still there. It's something that needs to 5 be addressed. There's a committee out there. 6 I know, Dr. Rothchild, you spoke about it. I 7 haven't seen any kind of advancement at all. 8 The Keystone Mission has closed or 9 is closing or modified their hours. You know, 10 this is a problem that needs to be addressed. 11 And like I said, you could either talk about or 12 don't talk about. It doesn't make it go away. 13 We have to address it and do something. 14 I mean, I am out there doing what I 15 could do to help. But I'm just one person. My 16 church works with the Keystone Mission. We 17 have facilities that we try to help with that 18 facility down there. But we're just one 19 entity. And there's a lot of people out there 20 that could help us and address the homeless 21 situation. 22 And then the final thing that I -- 23 and I probably should have read this but I 24 didn't. So maybe you could just address it in 25 Fifth Order or tell me to go read on the  42 1 website. 2 It's 6-B, reading by title, um, File 3 of Council No. 73, 2025, an ordinance. The 4 cleanup of code ordinances 2025, removing 5 outdated provision blah, blah, blah, it goes on 6 and on and on. 7 The thing that struck -- struck me 8 was alcoholism and drug abuse fund -- there's a 9 fund. And the board of examiners, the 10 departments -- it doesn't say what departments 11 and the abandoned refrigerators. 12 So my thought was when I read that, 13 I guess I should read the backup information 14 online, which I didn't get to do because I just 15 read this tonight. But I thought who is doing 16 this? Is it a group in the -- here in the 17 city? 18 Is it a vendor? How much is it 19 going to cost? And who is going to have the 20 final say on these things? 21 MR. SMURL: It is -- Norma, it is 22 our Law Department. They are going it here 23 inhouse. And it is all of the accounts, the 24 checking accounts and all the bank accounts and 25 stuff that are zeroed out. They just don't  43 1 exist anymore. 2 That's what they are just closing 3 those entire things out. Every one of those 4 hasn't been used in years and there's a lot 5 more. 6 MS. JEFFRIES: So it's amazing, 7 alcoholism and drug abuse hasn't been used in 8 years? 9 MR. SMURL: Nope. 10 MS. JEFFRIES: So we just do away 11 with it and don't do anything to help the 12 situation. 13 MR. SMURL: Well, they get outdated. 14 So they stop -- they come up with a new plan. 15 Somebody else has something different and 16 that's how it gets used. But you know Andrew, 17 he is the one doing all of that, cleaning all 18 that out. 19 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay, so when can we 20 see the updated? 21 MR. SMURL: I'm sorry? 22 MS. JEFFRIES: When will we be able 23 to see the updated information online, I guess. 24 MR. SMURL: That I don't know. I'm 25 saying if they did update when they update  44 1 different things and then they'll just 2 eliminate the ones that have been just sitting 3 idle for years. 4 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. 5 MR. SMURL: But there are a lot 6 more. This is the second phase we're going 7 through. 8 MS. JEFFRIES: Like I said, if I had 9 read this stuff online. But, you know, this 10 one got caught my eye when I saw the different 11 things, especially the refrigerators. Okay, 12 thank you. And I'll get that afterwards. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 14 MS. LABROSKY: All right. Good 15 evening, Council, Lynn Labrosky, resident, 16 taxpayer, business owner. So I just wanted to 17 mention that City Hall look fabulous. I 18 suppose timing is everything. 19 So I did want to mention that they 20 had opening day at the West Side Little League 21 on Saturday. It was a great turnout, a little 22 windy and cold; but again, a great turnout. 23 They did honor Coach Selemba at opening day, 24 which was really amazing and his kids were 25 involved in throwing out some of the first  45 1 pitches. 2 And I just wanted to mention that 3 the little league along with collaborating with 4 the Joshua Tippet Big Heart Memorial, they were 5 able to secure two additional AED machines. So 6 that was absolutely fantastic. And I know 7 Senator Rosemary Brown's been pushing for 8 legislature to pass a law. 9 It's the Greg Moyer Law. Greg Moyer 10 was a young boy that played basketball back in 11 2000, 15 years old, good health, and he 12 suffered a sudden heart attack. And he could 13 have possibly lived but there was no AED 14 machine. 15 So if anybody out there wants to 16 contact their legislators and push for that to 17 be passed, that would be a really good thing 18 that every school and field or anywhere kids 19 practice sports would have those things readily 20 available and close-by. 21 And then the other thing that I want 22 to talk about is kind of like a public service 23 announcement. So I'm sure that many of you 24 have heard that there was an error with the 25 printing of the ballots in Lackawanna County.  46 1 And somehow out of approximately 2 12,000 mail-in ballots, the only ones that got 3 screwed up were the 545 mail-in ballots for 4 Scranton Republicans. 5 The newspaper did recommend or 6 suggested that the voters that received these 7 wrong ballots that were from 2024 be 8 disregarded and destroyed. I personally would 9 suggest that any voter that got the wrong 10 ballots would preserve those ballots for 11 evidence because I am anticipating that there 12 would be a full investigation. 13 I read the article in the paper and 14 words were used like apparently, mistakenly, 15 missed and unintentional. So those are all 16 flag words for me, not pointing any fingers; 17 but things should be checked before they go 18 out. 19 And there was more than one chance 20 for those ballots to be checked. So again, 21 only 545 Republican mail-in ballots in Scranton 22 got screwed up. Everything else was okay. 23 It's no secret I'm running for Mayor in 24 Scranton this year on the Republican ticket. 25 And I'm doing a grassroots campaign.  47 1 So I have no big donors or anything like that. 2 And I just want to remind everybody out there 3 that if you are Democrat and you don't like 4 your choices of candidates, you can write 5 another candidate in. 6 A Democrat can write a Republican in 7 and a Republican can write a Democrat in. 8 Independents cannot vote in primaries. So I 9 would urge anybody out there that is 10 Independent to have a voice in this primary 11 election. 12 I want to remind everyone in the 13 last municipal election for Mayor, only 14 approximately 13,000 people voted out of 47,000 15 registered voters. So again, I would just 16 encourage people to take part in the upcoming 17 primary and make your voice heard. 18 I appreciate Independents, but they 19 don't have a voice in the primaries in 20 Pennsylvania because they're closed. The only 21 other thing I would like to request is that I 22 don't like to he believe rumors. I don't 23 believe rumors. 24 So if something's not factual then I 25 don't believe it. I believe people had brought  48 1 up the question if Mayor Cognetti intends to 2 run for Congress next year if that's her 3 intention. 4 And if she does and she wins, that 5 would put Scranton back into a special 6 election. So I think we as constituents and 7 voters have a right to know her intentions. It 8 was told by Council to ask her. Nobody could 9 seem to pin her down to get an answer to that 10 question. 11 I know that she -- early on when she 12 was running in 2021 touted being the first 13 Mayor in decades to attend City Council 14 meetings. I have not seen her at a City 15 Council meeting in many, many months, maybe 16 years. 17 I would like to personally invite 18 her to attend the next City Council meeting and 19 possibly answer some of the questions that the 20 voters have so that we're aware of what her 21 intentions are going forward as an incumbent 22 running for Mayor again. That's all, Council. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 24 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you. Have a 25 great night.  49 1 MR. SMURL: Thanks. Okay, so what 2 this is -- when you -- you have to go back over 3 to that so we could hear you. Yes, I know. 4 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay. 5 MR. SMURL: So, Doris, what it is, 6 is whenever you're going to cut the street at 7 all and make any alterations, you call PA One 8 Call. 9 And what that does, it alerts all of 10 the utilities. You see all of the utilities 11 there, PA Water and all the white ones and 12 different colors, so all of the utilities have 13 been notified to come up and mark where their 14 utilities are underground. 15 So once that's done, that means 16 there's going to be a project. Something is 17 going to happen there. But that's why there's 18 all different ones, different colors and 19 different, you know, you see the one that said 20 PAWC 1 inch, 1 inch beam? So there's a 1 inch 21 beam underneath that. 22 So that's why they're all there 23 right now. They have to do all of that before 24 anyone can -- you can cut that street. 25 MS. KOLOSKI: So you think it is for  50 1 the -- 2 MR. SMURL: You know what, they 3 marked it -- they have it marked right around 4 the curb so I would believe it is. 5 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay, because 6 otherwise I was just going to ask Mr. 7 Voldenberg to give me the direct number to 8 whoever it is that you guys keep calling 9 because I know you guys keep calling and -- 10 MR. SMURL: Well, we just send it 11 down to the administration for the -- you're 12 looking for the ramp? 13 MS. KOLOSKI: Yeah. 14 MR. SMURL: Yeah. 15 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay, so I just have a 16 couple of little things I wanted to address 17 because every time I come here I keep hearing 18 about pools with diving boards and nobody loves 19 a swimming pool more than me. My whole family 20 is a swimming family. 21 All my kids swam competitively. But 22 diving boards have been removed from almost 23 every public pool, God, since my kids were 24 little and my oldest is 61 because of insurance 25 and the danger.  51 1 So it's not the fault of the city or 2 the Council. It's the fault of insurance 3 companies and safety measures. 4 A code enforcement when I keep 5 hearing about the code enforcement just now, to 6 me, code enforcement doesn't really have any 7 power unless they -- happens to be a resident 8 that takes care of their property and they stop 9 because something's on their porch and offer to 10 give them a ticket. 11 Otherwise, anything they do, they 12 just keep plastering the doors and the window 13 and everything with their -- their stuff. I 14 mean, I know because of 421 and I know it keeps 15 going to litigation. But the code enforcement 16 guy asked me in the middle of the winter one 17 time what is it that you needed done there when 18 I wanted the sidewalk moved. 19 And alls he did was put a note on 20 the door. So, I mean, they really don't have 21 that much power. I want to thank anybody 22 that's listening from the transit company, 23 Colts, the Colts company. 24 As you all know, I was here, like, a 25 couple years ago trying to get a bus, a place  52 1 for the Geisinger patients to sit with shelter 2 in a bus. And they have -- it's been up there 3 now for maybe a couple months. I just haven't 4 gotten to their meeting to thank them 5 personally. 6 So if any of them are listening 7 here, I mean, it did take too long. It took 8 almost over a year. But it's in full force and 9 people are loving it. So it makes you feel 10 good when you come out and you see people 11 sitting there instead of leaning on a mailbox. 12 And one thing was talking about the 13 homeless and I know we really need to do 14 something about the homeless, the ones that you 15 could help. I mean, obviously there are some 16 that you can't help because of certain reasons 17 that they don't want to come inside. 18 But there has been a new thing and 19 maybe you guys could look into. I don't know 20 if it -- it wouldn't really be you as much as 21 maybe the state. There's some new kinds of 22 housing that I've been seeing on a couple 23 programs on TV, news programs. 24 I believe -- I'm not -- I might not 25 be remembering correctly; but I think they were  53 1 trying the houses in San Francisco. They're 2 made of some kind of -- they aren't made of, 3 like, concrete and the wood. They're made of 4 environmentally material and supposedly 5 stronger than concrete. 6 And they could set up in a matter of 7 months. Some of them look like Lego bricks. 8 Others don't. There were two different kinds. 9 And I wish I could remember what news program. 10 I was flipping the TV, like, taking it down 11 from a DVR program, you know, while I was 12 getting up to go to the bathroom and I heard 13 it. 14 And then I heard it again on another 15 news program. So it might be something people 16 could look into. I'm sure it would be off in 17 the distant future. But I know even if we try 18 to build houses for the homeless which we need 19 to do, we need affordable housing. With us 20 it's going to take years and years to do. 21 And supposedly, these houses don't 22 take years and years to do. They take a 23 matter of months. And they're not prefab. 24 It's something else. It's not like a Hanover 25 Home or whatever. You know, it's something  54 1 different. So maybe you could figure it out. 2 Thank you for your time. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris. 4 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 5 Tonight I want to first express my displeasure 6 in not moving Council to Wednesday last week. 7 It seems that you move it for any other 8 reasons. But as it was in direct conflict with 9 the mayoral debates, I was forced to choose 10 between being able to participate in my 11 government or being an informed voter. 12 You've moved Council before many 13 times. Unfortunately, you chose not to do so 14 for this community event. Next, I would love 15 it if new Council members were required to take 16 some cursory legal training, not on the dos and 17 don'ts -- on the dos and don'ts of the seat. 18 I'm not talking about a law being 19 able to quote the laws, but at least since 20 you've taken the Oath of Office to uphold the 21 Constitution and State laws to have basic and 22 information session on recent rulings provided 23 at training, basic Constitutional rights, 24 Robert's Rule, the Sunshine Act, ethics, and 25 other teachings before you actually take one of  55 1 these seats. 2 Last week we had an issue about 3 supposed disciplinary actions and personnel 4 matters. The body was instructed they normally 5 do not speak on personnel matters. But they 6 can. Just like the right to know, while 7 information can be withheld under specific 8 guidelines, this does not require it to be 9 withheld. 10 And unlike the belief spoken here, 11 Council is a coequal branch of this government 12 and not under the Mayor's restrictions. That 13 being said, a while ago Councilman King was 14 upset by a speaker. Shocking, I know. And 15 replied that he had the First Amendment rights 16 to speak back and say whatever he wanted to 17 from the President's dais. 18 This is not the case. As a City 19 Council member, you're acting under color of 20 law or color of office that makes you legally 21 vulnerable and civilly liable when acting as a 22 member of this body and Council. 23 Your speech is restricted to the 24 position of office. Obscenities are protected 25 speech. Although distasteful in most  56 1 circumstances and show unfavorably on the 2 person who chooses them as a standard before 3 this body, we've seen the odd circumstance 4 where even Joan Hodowanitz selected a choice 5 word. 6 And it certainly accentuates the 7 arguments with a known respectable woman when 8 she measures those words that way. I'm saying 9 that like hiring a trainee, it would be nice if 10 City Council and even the Mayor had onboard 11 training on the basic rules of government 12 before taking the seat. 13 Moving on, the Mayor's state of the 14 city scorecard and political advertisement in 15 the lobby of this building was all hoisted as 16 sunshine achievements. Bank interest is not an 17 achievement. 18 Recently we have a 2.5 million cut 19 from the homes that were flooded, condemned and 20 blocked from repair because they met the 51 21 percent threshold. Those condemned in flood 22 zones now in limbo due to the withdrawal of 2.5 23 million in federal funds. 24 I would rethink waiting for funds as 25 the 2.5 million may be a lot more now that the  57 1 new evaluations are out. You better move on 2 that fast. 3 Nay Aug Park Pool Complex I believe 4 was 3 million and some change. We have one 5 million request for the pool from the Horse 6 Racing and Gambling Fund. How's that going? 7 So we have 5.5 million we need. And my 8 goodness, we have 6.6 million earned in 9 interest on the city accounts. 10 Even with fulfilling both of those 11 projects, we'd have 1.1 million sitting in 12 interest. Let's look at why the 6.6 million is 13 not being used. I could see two reasons. The 14 city in this environment is waiting for grants 15 of other people's money to feed from the pig 16 trough. 17 But that trough is low right now and 18 not expected to be filled. They want to 19 reserve the 6.6 as they are often required to 20 provide matching funds. Or even worse, they're 21 worried about the continuing litigation on the 22 city and repeated actions that put this city 23 into financial risk. 24 And one of the other questions is, 25 why is the new police center's loss of funding  58 1 not being discussed and the possibility to 2 float a bond and if we could go without it? 3 This was lightly breezed over at the Mayor's 4 conference when they said, "We've lost the 5 funding for this and we might have to float a 6 bond for it." 7 How come this body has never 8 discussed the fact that the police center has 9 lost funding and where we're going to move 10 forward on it? I guess police safety, police 11 enforcement don't matter. Have a good night. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 13 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik 14 Little here. I just handed you three pieces of 15 paper. Hopefully I could refer to them all by 16 the end of my five minutes. I have a head full 17 of ideas that are driving me insane, especially 18 watching WNEP and the Times-Tribune explain it 19 all to us. It's just not right. 20 The government is only as strong as 21 its weakest link. And that's what I'd like to 22 talk about. You know, we had -- we're supposed 23 to have a holistic government from the 24 Constitution. 25 But it just isn't there in this  59 1 community with the Home Rule Charter. Justice 2 delayed is justice denied. 3 I asked Chat GPT today about who 4 made -- who made Judge Nealon of the three 5 judges that were in line and they're fighting 6 over 1908 and who should be the person in 7 charge of the county and especially now when 8 they hand out these fraudulent election board 9 things only to Republicans. 10 The place is run by Democrat judges. 11 It's mostly judges. That's the thing that 12 people don't know that they have no control 13 over. They don't know what they are voting for 14 when they do it. The second thing I wanted to 15 talk about is the SHA five-year plan. 16 I answered it five years ago. It's 17 supposed to go in the record. They, you know, 18 it's -- they put a thing in the window saying 19 it's available at the library. It wasn't at 20 the library. And then they missent it to the 21 Children's Library. 22 I'd like somebody to look into that 23 because they talk about -- they get millions of 24 dollars and they talk about mundane things. We 25 have a housing and homeless problem in  60 1 Scranton. It's called Scranton Housing 2 Authority. 3 That's where the problem should be 4 focused on. And the people that run it are 5 district attorneys and they're criminalizing 6 people like me and many other people to be 7 evicted in front of the judges that they own. 8 And I'd like to talk about Chris 9 McNulty who I was talking about a few weeks 10 ago. I saw this thing in the paper about, you 11 know, he's sent to jail. He's spitting at 12 people. But he went to the hospital, you know, 13 it's a healthcare world we're living in. 14 That's where the jobs are and 15 government jobs are where the jobs are, law 16 enforcement. They're marching out of 17 Lackawanna County. Yeah, I want to be a prison 18 guard, you know, but this is becoming a prison 19 county. 20 And so this guy has $50,000 bail. 21 He never made it. He's in jail over a month. 22 I tried to visit him. I only saw him once. I 23 walk in and the phone wasn't working. And then 24 next week I tried to visit him and he was out 25 on April 16th.  61 1 And I've been just following the 2 case because no one cares or knows about this 3 guy. And I got the paper the other day that 4 he -- he's out. He's out of jail for 5 treatment, you know. And that's part of the 6 whole behavioral thing because that's one of 7 the big businesses around here. You need 8 treatment. 9 You know, but I think he was put in 10 on a false 302 where anybody could point to 11 somebody and say, oh, you're a danger to 12 yourself and society so we got to lock you up. 13 And the same judge that evicted me twice, Judge 14 Farrell, without any evidence, you know, not 15 looking at my lease. 16 The only other person in the room 17 was the DA. You know, and it's like you have 18 to find a new place to live. And even in the 19 documents that, you know, the eviction 20 documents it says no pay and stay. That's what 21 they're doing over here at Scranton Housing 22 Authority. 23 They are running their own little 24 thing. And it's federally funded. And no one 25 is following how it goes. I'm glad to see the  62 1 two judges were arrested, you know, for -- 2 recently. And I hope that keeps going because 3 it's the law like this that has gone wrong. 4 And, you know, we need to find out who's doing 5 what because it's not democracy. It's not 6 democracy. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 8 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council, 9 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Last couple weeks I 10 mentioned two radioactive leachate lines in 11 Scranton running through neighborhoods near 12 schools, places of worship, along the 13 Lackawanna River. Each of you chose to say 14 nothing. 15 Under PA Code Title 25, Chapter 71, 16 municipalities are required to ensure proper 17 operation and maintenance of sewage facilities 18 within their border and ordinance with a clean 19 streams law and regulations act. 20 These old sewer lines are more than 21 likely cracked, leaking and have tree roots 22 running through them. One of you is running 23 for reelection and yet, you say nothing. We 24 mentioned our city has lost four deep pools you 25 said nothing.  63 1 Kids do not want splash pads. They 2 want deep end pools with diving boards. So 3 many family memories have been lost because of 4 this and you said nothing. Two pools total for 5 Novembrino Complex are gone. 6 And you don't care to chime in other 7 than an infomercial about the Mayor. I 8 mentioned several ways to generate money 9 without raising taxes like a hotel tax. Over 10 800 beds in Scranton represent our hotel 11 industry. 12 It will be more than enough money to 13 generate to pay for a deep end pool in Nay Aug. 14 A donation link on city website apparently 15 isn't the answer at her attempt at fixing 16 another costly mistake. 17 Mayor James Walsh in the 60s was 18 voted out of office because he built two 19 historic pools at Nay Aug. Now we will fire 20 this Mayor because she took one away with the 21 careless with the truth, yet, you say nothing. 22 You hear stories about this horrible 23 road condition because the utility contractors 24 are not doing their jobs effectively. Swerve 25 patterns suck. Mentioned this in communication  64 1 with these contractors informing them they're 2 not holding up to the standards. 3 And it's very costly, left 4 unsupervised for two years and you said 5 nothing. They do not finish the cuts with tar 6 once they are completed. How many times must I 7 say this? Mr. King could care less. His 8 street was paved. 9 From what I'm hearing, the Scranton 10 Police Department is short 40-plus police 11 officers. I imagine that this is because of 12 the switch of the police testing companies. 13 When you have 130 testing and end up with four 14 hires, that's a problem. 15 I'm not the only one who mentioned 16 this, and yet, you said nothing. I'm not the 17 only one that mentioned that 248 school-age 18 children are considered homeless that attend 19 the Scranton School District. And the only 20 answer we received is when is the next meeting 21 for the unhoused commission. 22 Other than that, you said nothing. 23 The city needs to take care of its own before 24 we consider taking care of others. Mayor just 25 gives away money for these nonprofits with  65 1 little or no oversight and how it's spent. 2 Our city has many challenges ahead. 3 The first is get rid of this expansion team. 4 DPW Director lives in Dunmore. Do you think he 5 really cares about a road and safety? There is 6 not one critical position filled from outside 7 our city. 8 There will not be one in my 9 administration. There will not be 75 percent 10 turnover like in the last five years. The 11 primary is right around the corner. It's a few 12 weeks away. There are many good individuals on 13 both sides running for City Council that mean 14 well. 15 I cannot vote on May 20th because an 16 Independent. I see people, not parties. 17 Democrats are looking at two tries to unseat 18 the Mayor. I only need one. I hope that every 19 registered voter in Scranton picks up their 20 head, looks around at our current climate and 21 agrees that this is not the city that they 22 envisioned. 23 It's the time to pay attention to 24 local stuff in a critical election year. Speak 25 your mind on Election Day and vote circulating  66 1 my petition. I will be on the ballot in 2 November as a true Independent for Mayor of 3 Scranton. 4 I'm also putting together a winning 5 team. It's time to flip the script, give the 6 city back to the good people of Scranton. It's 7 an uphill climb against Paige and the machine. 8 I'm ready for the challenge. Everyone loves an 9 underdog. Good evening, Council. Change is 10 coming. 11 MR. SMURL: Change is coming. 12 Mr. Mancini, DEP has been notified recently. 13 And they have been in town twice. So those 14 calls were made. Anyone else? 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 16 Motions. 17 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 18 any motions or comments? 19 MR. KING: The one individual that 20 spoke earlier today, I just want to say that 21 I'm 110 percent for making sure that Scranton 22 is a welcoming community. 23 I'm a former educator who welcomed 24 students from all over the world. We had 25 students of all genders, always respected  67 1 students no matter what their religion is. It 2 just didn't matter. 3 And I'm all for providing the type 4 of community and environment that is welcoming 5 to all. So that's all I have to say. Thank 6 you. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 8 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 9 comments? 10 MR. SCHUSTER: I guess I might as 11 well follow up with that. I'd also agree with 12 Mr. King. I don't single out or bully anyone. 13 I'm a welcoming individual and feel the same 14 way. 15 Last week I asked for a list of the 16 pave cuts from January 1st of 2025 as the city 17 was moving in a new direction when it looks at 18 how we inspect pave cuts. I did receive that 19 list. So thank you, Mr. Voldenberg, and thank 20 the administration for that list. 21 I'll take a look at it prior to our 22 upcoming meeting that we're going to have. 23 Some -- one of the questions that I wanted to 24 ask in regard to this if we could send it over 25 is how is the city tracking and what's the  68 1 protocol for smaller subcontractors that are 2 doing the cuts? 3 When a company comes to the city for 4 a permit, do they have to use a subcode when 5 getting that permit application? And how are 6 we providing them the permit -- how are we 7 providing that permit info to the inspection 8 company that's doing the inspections on the 9 cuts? 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those 11 questions, sir. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. For 13 larger projects such as the one that's on the 14 border of Dickson City and Scranton near 15 Toyota, can we ask how do to we ensure that the 16 company that's doing that work -- because this 17 is work that's going to take an extended period 18 of time. 19 It's a large project. How is the 20 city ensuring that that company is backfilling 21 those -- those cuts to make those roads 22 drivable? 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll also ask those 24 questions. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.  69 1 I got some calls from the Meadow Brook -- some 2 Meadow Brook residents. Can we also leave 3 Morgan Fetsock a message to reach out to the 4 Meadow Brook residents just to give an update 5 as to where they are with the -- with the 6 updates and revisions on that project? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have her do 8 that. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Last week 10 Mr. Srebro came in and informed us that a 11 culvert and drainage near his house was 12 beginning to get clogged. So I would like to 13 say thank you to DPW for clearing that area 14 ahead of the spring storms if we could get that 15 message out as well. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send a thank 17 you to them. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. In 19 regards to the DPW union negotiations, we're 20 five months into an expired contract. I know 21 that there was some opportunities to meet and 22 it didn't occur. Can we find out if there are 23 going to be any meetings for the month of May? 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.  70 1 That's all at this time. Thank you. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 3 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 4 comments? 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. First probably 6 without surprise, I do also want to state that, 7 yes, I am committed to doing whatever we can on 8 Council to protect the LGBTQ community in the 9 City of Scranton obviously being a part of that 10 community myself. 11 It's important for my family, my 12 friends, loved ones that, you know, I think are 13 dealing with a lot right now, a lot more than 14 they should have to. And I'm lucky to be in a 15 position I hope with what I could do to help. 16 So that's -- I just wanted to make sure to 17 point that out. 18 And I wanted to -- a couple things 19 other things from citizens participation too. 20 Lackawanna Avenue paving, I would like to 21 request updates once again on that because I 22 think the last time I had, we hadn't received 23 anything. So, Mr. Voldenberg, if could you 24 reach out again to find out when that's going 25 to be repaved and marked.  71 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get the 2 schedule. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And I 4 appreciated the question about Robinson Park 5 because I plan on definitely visiting that park 6 with my little ones. And I'm wondering the 7 same thing too about safety with the water 8 that's nearby. 9 So if we can ask Parks and Rec if 10 there's going to be any supervision, life 11 guarding, what that plan is with Robinson Park 12 and safety. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them 14 tomorrow. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And also 16 want to bring up and I think I'm probably going 17 to have to start tracking how much I've asked 18 about this but regarding Colfax Avenue and 19 Olive. The last thing that I have is from what 20 you had sent, Frank, which was I think April 21 11th. 22 So and I don't believe we received a 23 response, at least nothing that's in my inbox. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did not. I 25 reached out to them again yesterday afternoon.  72 1 Right now it's between Reilly Associates, the 2 City Engineer and DPW to figure that out. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay, yeah, we 4 need -- I mean, someone needs to just come, 5 take the ball and do it so -- 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll press for an 7 answer. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I don't -- it 9 shouldn't be an incredibly big project 10 something that I wouldn't think would take very 11 long at all to do. Someone just has to get on 12 the schedule. 13 And if we need to -- if the city 14 needs to take care of that, then let's just do 15 it. That's everything I wanted to bring up. 16 Thank you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 18 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 19 motion or comments? 20 MR. MCANDREW: Okay, yeah, to start, 21 so for the past 18 years I've stood in front of 22 students from every ethnic background, 23 persuasion that you could think of and fostered 24 zero tolerance for bullying or any of that type 25 of behavior in my classroom.  73 1 As Chairman for the Committee on 2 Public Safety, the health, safety, and welfare 3 of all its residents equally is a priority one 4 for me. So I hope that answers your question. 5 Moving on, so a couple weeks ago 6 we've been talking about the Show Mobile and 7 the process of obtaining it and whether you 8 would get a waiver or not. 9 So we had to go back to this because 10 we weren't getting complete answers. So the 11 last answer -- the last update I have is 12 because I said if they do provide waivers, we 13 didn't -- we heard about it -- heard they did 14 but we didn't know what the process was or how 15 at -- or at whose discretion or how it's 16 determined. 17 So the latest I got because I asked 18 them for an update on this question is, so when 19 applications are submitted -- and my 20 understanding you do them online, groups can 21 leave a note. Where, I don't know online 22 because I never filled out this form -- 23 requesting a waiver and the requests are 24 forwarded to the Parks Department. 25 So that's -- hope it's the final  74 1 answer we need on that regarding the process 2 so other people can receive the same waivers 3 moving forward. All right. So I had a couple 4 complaints. This one is on the mountain. Some 5 of them are reoccurring. This is East 6 Mountain. 7 One is to -- one of these residents, 8 you know, has a scanner likes to listen to it. 9 I know a lot of people that sit by their 10 scanner. Her concern is for the police 11 department and, you know, I don't know how 12 their process really goes. 13 They'd like to see it coded because 14 this lady knows of other people that alert 15 their children and grandchildren when they're 16 announcing say, hey, I'm going over to this 17 park or I'm going to that park at 10:00 at 18 night or 11:00. 19 So, you know, it's not a bad idea. 20 Maybe -- maybe that -- I don't know how the 21 process is. Maybe they could figure that out 22 because kids are being alerted and that could 23 be an issue. 24 Second, at the bottom of East 25 Mountain Road across from the Salvation Army,  75 1 large overgrown grassy area, also the concrete 2 blocks stopping ATVs are ruddy looking. So 3 this lady -- this resident constantly brings 4 this to our attention every year that this is 5 an area that's really not taken care of well. 6 And, you know, and she also says 7 this is, you know, an entrance or a gateway to 8 our city and I agree with her. And especially 9 with all the graduations coming up, the U and 10 Marywood, we should probably make our bed 11 because company's coming. I get it. 12 So also from Meadow Avenue to Lake 13 Scranton, the South Side of Moosic Street needs 14 cleaning. The amount of liter is horrible. 15 The sidewalk over Route 81 is covered with 16 cinders since -- from 2024. So that needs a 17 little attention. 18 Then the blocks of Moosic Street 19 from Meadow Avenue to Harrison Avenue, south 20 side or left side going towards the city needs 21 raking and sidewalks need cleaning. And then 22 Moosic Street, Meadow Avenue, bottom of East 23 Mountain Road are all visible as you enter the 24 city at Moosic Street as you exit 81 South 25 because the area is not being cared for, our  76 1 start to Scranton is visibly negative. 2 So also with regard to, like, some 3 of these are state -- taken care of by PennDOT. 4 And some of it's the city's responsibility. 5 And I'm aware of that. But the one -- the one 6 Route 81 North exit to River Street is the 7 State's responsibility. 8 But guess what, they came. They cut 9 and trimmed the area four to six weeks ago. 10 But they just left everything there. And now 11 with, you know, being warm and dry out, this 12 presents a fire hazard. So if we could please, 13 you know, follow up on that and make PennDOT 14 aware of that. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 16 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank 17 you. Next, this happens -- this seems to 18 happen every year too around this time and 19 during the summer. Some of these illegal auto 20 shops pop up, right, or ones that are in 21 business aren't really up to code per se with, 22 you know, some related blight. 23 So I got one is 1503 North Main 24 Avenue service shop. Cars are double parked on 25 both sides of the street. There's like one  77 1 of -- there's like three right in front of the 2 place with three flat tires. 3 And this is -- this is preventing 4 the buses from safely going up to Armstrong 5 School. So if you could please alert code 6 enforcement with that one. 7 Then there's another garage over on 8 839 Capouse. And I'm told by a resident it has 9 multiple resident-related issues. And one of 10 them is blight -- actually in front of and the 11 back of the service station, there's like boats 12 and campers. It's -- there's a lot of 13 uninspected or unregistered vehicles. 14 I don't know if they're waiting to 15 be worked on. But, like, there's quite a bit 16 that maybe aren't -- they're not sightly. 17 Obviously, they're unsightly and they're a 18 quality of life issues for these neighbors here 19 because they're bringing it to my attention. 20 And there's like a no parking sign 21 in front that people seem to park in and 22 they're never issued a citation if you could 23 ask the police department about that. And 24 actually the owner of this garage apparently 25 does this in front of this residents's house or  78 1 if -- 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 3 MR. MCANDREW: Also, I don't have it 4 written down, but I got quick one on the way 5 here, which is not unusual. I didn't have time 6 to write it down. But there's a property right 7 next to National Bakery in North Scranton on 8 Main Avenue. 9 And I guess a similar situation 10 where someone is operating, fixing cars out of 11 this garage on this property, probably not, you 12 know, it's probably not legal or have a license 13 to do so that's affecting the neighbors there 14 and it's a very -- it's a concern with them if 15 that could be investigated. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send them out. 17 MR. MCANDREW: All right. And 18 that's all I have. Thank you. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 20 Angela, I guess I'll address yours first. 21 First, I would like to say that I don't 22 personally judge anyone for what they are, who 23 they claim they are, or what they -- for 24 whatever, for whatever reason. I believe I 25 support everyone in this city equally.  79 1 And I believe this Council as a 2 whole has never strayed from that. I believe 3 we all feel the same way, okay? Thank you. 4 Joan -- she's gone. Frank, will you 5 give this to Joan tomorrow, the response from 6 the city for her questions on the blowing -- 7 the street blowing all the stuff into the 8 street. 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll let her know 10 what we discussed. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all, 12 Frank. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR 14 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING THE 15 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO 16 EXECUTE AND ENTER INTO AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL 17 COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF 18 SCRANTON AND COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA FOR 19 USE OF AMERICAN DIGITAL CARTOGRAPHY, INC. 20 (ADCI) PRODUCTS. 21 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 22 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced 23 into its proper committee. 24 MR. MCANDREW: So moved. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.  80 1 MR. SMURL: On the question? All 2 those in favor of introduction signify by 3 saying aye. 4 MR. KING: Aye. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 7 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 8 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 9 have it and so moved. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR 11 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - RATIFYING AND 12 AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF TEMPORARY 13 CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT AGREEMENTS FOR PARCELS 14 LOCATED AT 2709 JACKSON STREET AND 8 FAWNWOOD 15 DRIVE, SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA FOR THE SINKHOLE 16 REPAIR PROJECT. 17 MR.
