MINUTES OF THE SCRANTON 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL 1ST QUARTERLY 4 MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 24, 2025. 5 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments 6 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 7 received and filed. Do any Council members 8 have any announcements at this time? 9 MR. MCANDREW: I have two of them. 10 So recently Scranton Detective Jason Hyler, 11 Kyle Gilmartin and Deputy Chief Joseph Lafferty 12 received the National Association of Police 13 Organizations Top Cop Honorable Mention Award 14 for their heroic actions in January of 2024. 15 So I would like to say a big 16 congratulations to our very own deserving 17 hometown heros. I'm very proud of all you and 18 our second to none police department. 19 And then also today, I would like to 20 congratulate the combined efforts of the 21 Scranton Police Department and the Fire 22 Department with the rescue today in the 23 Lackawanna River. And that is all I have. 24 Thank you. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?  5 1 MR. KING: I know that the Electric 2 City Flower Show is coming Saturday, June 21st. 3 I think Norma's going to speak to that this 4 evening. That's it. 5 MR. SMURL: And there's one more, 6 Sprucin Up Scranton, Saturday, May 31st, 7 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. And it's at Connell Park. 8 So if anybody would like to attend that, that 9 is available. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 11 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 12 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 14 Scranton. Speaking of heros, I too wish to 15 congratulate our police officers who were 16 recently recognized and the entire police 17 department, our fire department, even DPW. 18 These people do great work. 19 And it's not easy. And without it, 20 what kind of city would we have so -- and also, 21 I'd like to thank all of the citizens and 22 residents who took the time to observe Memorial 23 Day over the weekend. I was stuck writing a 24 document so I couldn't get out. 25 But I watched the coverage on the  6 1 evening news. And, of course, we had good 2 weather. But for all of those people who took 3 the time to acknowledge the sacrifice that 4 those men and women made in time of war, even 5 in training accidents, people don't realize how 6 many military personnel die every year in 7 training. 8 But I thank those people who took 9 the time and didn't just, you know, look at it, 10 an opportunity to buy a mattress on sale. I 11 don't like that. I will never by a buy a 12 mattress on Memorial Day as God as my witness. 13 I also want to thank all the people 14 who came out to support the Scranton Public 15 Library last Friday for Swingin on Vine. It is 16 our major fundraiser. And it's very important 17 that we do support the library because the 18 library is one of the pillars of the community. 19 And it targets those who most need 20 library services, children, immigrants, those 21 trying to assimilate and become American 22 citizens, the poor. So for those of you who 23 did enjoy Swingin on Vine, it wasn't too rainy. 24 There were a few raindrops. But thank you 25 again for supporting us and we'll be back next  7 1 year. 2 And speaking of the library just so 3 people know, it's not just a warehouse of 4 books. It hasn't been that in many years. 5 Some of the events that the Scranton Public 6 Library is hosting, Thursday, July 7th, 6 p.m., 7 chocolate -- Chocoholics Delight. 8 You could taste chocolates from 9 around the world. And they are going to have a 10 contest. And if you win, you get to take 11 chocolate home. How about July 31st, here's 12 something up my alley. Star Trek trivia night, 13 that's coming for all of you Star Trek fans. 14 See how many people could recite 15 Data's "Ode to Spot" by heart. And the 16 services that they'll provide, if you have home 17 movies and pictures that you want digitized, it 18 will be done for you at the library. You don't 19 have to find someone else to do it for you. 20 So those are some of the wonderful 21 things going on. There wasn't much on today's 22 agenda. But I was curious about one thing and 23 that is this resolution for the 24 intergovernmental agreement of cooperation and 25 MOU between Scranton and the county for a  8 1 countywide stormwater management plan. 2 Long, long ago in a galaxy far away 3 we talking about who is going to form a 4 stormwater management authority. Remember 5 that? And I never got -- I never saw the shoe 6 drop. Does this mean that the county may 7 assume responsibility for a regional authority? 8 MR. SMURL: I don't know that, Joan. 9 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Who is -- 10 who is the action officer or who's got the, you 11 know, responsibility on the city side for this, 12 not necessarily the Mayor but, you know, do you 13 know who is working it? Our City Engineer 14 perhaps? 15 MR. SMURL: Working on what, Joan, 16 sorry. 17 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm sorry? 18 MR. SMURL: I couldn't hear you. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: I said who is the 20 point of contact on the city's side? Is it the 21 City Engineer? 22 MR. SMURL: For the stormwater 23 project? 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah. 25 MR. SMURL: Well, everything I need  9 1 to know about the stormwater I just send down 2 to Eileen Cipriani. And whether she goes to 3 the engineer or whatever to get the answers, 4 I'm not sure. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, this 6 stormwater management plan is long overdue and 7 hopefully it will take off like a bat out of 8 hell. We need it. Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Norma 10 Jeffries. 11 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening, 12 Council, Norma Jeffries, Scranton resident. 13 And my charge tonight is the Electric City 14 Flower Show. It's going to be on June 21st at 15 Nay Aug Park. Plans are underway. We're busy 16 getting everything together. 17 You know, we could do all of this 18 work, but we need you, the public, to be there 19 to make it a success. And, of course, the 20 weather is something you could never control. 21 During the event, there's going to be at least 22 70 vendors that are going to be there working 23 on food trucks. 24 And there's going to be a flower 25 competition. I think everyone knows that that  10 1 is always there. But this year we're also 2 doing a photography competition. It closes 3 very soon. So I'm hoping that anyone that 4 is -- has photography, they take pictures of 5 the flowers, trees, and I don't think there is 6 any category that they can't submit it for. 7 So we're hoping that people will 8 submit a photography -- photos for competition 9 which is a new category. The entrance, of 10 course, to the Everhart Museum is going to be 11 free that day. So that is always a very 12 exciting place to go through, especially when 13 you've gone there as a kid and then you see 14 what it is today. 15 It doesn't look too too -- the 16 marble work in there is just so fascinating to 17 me and how it's made. Of course, there's live 18 music and there's the kids' activities as well. 19 And we're on Facebook, you know, posting and 20 putting things to let people know what's going 21 on. 22 I'm hoping that we'll -- if ECTV 23 hears us tonight that they'll be posting on 24 their site as well. And Frank's going to help 25 me do that as well as get it on the City's  11 1 website so that, you know, we try to get as 2 much publicity -- free publicity as possible 3 and all. 4 So it's a great day. A lot of 5 people are looking forward to it. They had a 6 good time over the years. And we're just 7 looking forward to that. We have a lot of new 8 players on the committee this year. 9 Our main person Carol is no longer 10 with us this year so it's a little trying for 11 us to try to pull it off and still do the same 12 things that she did so well over the previous 13 years. 14 So one other thing I'd like to ask. 15 We're looking for donations for gift baskets if 16 anyone out there would like to donate a gift 17 basket or gift cards or something, they could 18 get in touch with me through the Facebook page 19 of our Electric City Facebook page, okay? 20 Now, the other thing that I wanted 21 to talk about tonight was voting. And I do in 22 my time -- I do get voter registration. But 23 it's very sad that only such a small portion of 24 people voted during the primary, which was very 25 sad. Voting is our right. And voting is the  12 1 only way that we get things done. 2 So over the next six months, five 3 months that we have before our general 4 election, you know, I'm going to be out there 5 just talking and doing all that I can. And we 6 all could do a little bit to make sure that our 7 relatives and family get out and vote. 8 And it's mostly our young people. 9 Sometimes they don't get registered to vote. 10 When they turn 18, you know, they don't 11 register. So that's why I try to encourage 12 those young folks. Get yourself registered, 13 vote, and you can make a difference. And 14 that's all I have for tonight. Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. Bob 16 Bolus. 17 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council, 18 Bob Bolus, Scranton. Listening to her where 19 she has different things going on, we have 20 trailer loads of disinfectant wipes yet to any 21 organization that's putting something on that 22 needs them. All they got to do is contact my 23 office up in Throop under Bolus Truck Parts and 24 we'll see that they get them. 25 It's just something to help  13 1 everybody out. All of those that wrote me in 2 during this past campaign, I want to thank them 3 personally. We got a future going on here in 4 the city. 5 The election was kind of fun in a 6 sense because I got kicked off the ballot by a 7 rogue that was involved there. I call him 8 actually a rhino. Spano did it. We've been in 9 the Court. The judges misread everything that 10 went on. 11 They let a 2021 case that he filed 12 go through in 2025 against the rule of law. 13 They then turned around and let him play a game 14 when it was up to the DA or Attorney General 15 to remove me from a ballot. Then if they 16 didn't do it, he could do it. But he had to go 17 to them first. 18 So there's a lot of litigation 19 that's going on right now. And November is 20 going to be a different story here in 21 Lackawanna County. 22 Now, another thing that I think we 23 should pave Lackawanna Avenue before we worry 24 about anything else, that, and Main Avenue. 25 You can't drive up them without banging the  14 1 hell out of your vehicle. Now, this past -- 2 couple of days ago, Memorial Day was to honor 3 all of those that didn't come home and all 4 those that did come home injured and hurt under 5 that flag. 6 What upset me the most and I see it 7 every day, I have a program now with a Dr. 8 George Lindenfeld from Florida when we've 9 established clinics now for PTSD. And people 10 don't understand PTSD. It affects everyone, 11 not just military. It could be firemen, 12 police. It could be an individual right here 13 that witnessed something. 14 And it's traumatized them. The next 15 meeting I'm going to give you the information 16 on it and look at Council about us establishing 17 one right here in the City of Scranton for all 18 of those that need the help. It's not 19 medication. It's rather unique. I had him 20 here once before at the Gino Merli. 21 And I invited those from the VA to 22 come up and listen to it. Halfway through the 23 presentation he was doing, they walked out. So 24 we want to change it around. The value of our 25 people are more important. So I will be  15 1 presenting that the next time I come here so we 2 could look forward to doing something. 3 Next thing I want to see an ICE 4 office at the Scranton Police Department. 5 Let's get the scum out of our city. No more 6 game playing, no more talking. 7 Now, yesterday, Memorial Day, I was 8 going to attend the celebration which I've done 9 in the past down at the Memorial Stadium. But 10 when I saw that the Mayor was going to be there 11 making comments or speaking, I elected not to 12 go there. 13 And the reason I didn't go there, we 14 lost 14 of our people in Afghanistan due to Joe 15 Biden's ignorance and stupidity the way he 16 handled things. They came home in flag draped 17 coffins, came off the plan. What did Joe Biden 18 do? He stood there and looked at him. He 19 didn't salute them. He looked at his watch. 20 He could give a damn less what happened. 21 What upsets me more that the Mayor 22 would have been there to honor those that 23 didn't come home and those that were wounded 24 and going through hell. She's the one that put 25 his name here in the City of Scranton, her and  16 1 Gaughan put Biden on Spruce Street, changed the 2 Expressway to Biden's Way to honor this man who 3 literally orchestrated the killing of our 14 4 vets over there. 5 Our fellow vets came home wounded, 6 maimed and everything else, gave away millions 7 and billions -- not millions, billions of 8 dollars of our equipment to use against us. 9 Yet, she was going to stand there and honor 10 this guy and Memorial Day to speak about our 11 vets. 12 I couldn't tolerate it. So I didn't 13 bother to go. I'd like her to understand, take 14 the signs down. You've humiliated us enough. 15 Scranton belongs to all the people. Joe Biden 16 has proved who he is and what he's about. He 17 released criminals in his own family that he 18 said he wouldn't do. Now you want to say 19 you're going to honor our vets, no way in hell. 20 Thank you. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus. 22 Lee Morgan. 23 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 24 Lee Morgan. The first thing I have here is 25 that there's been investigations into the Biden  17 1 White House and he never knew he was President. 2 The people in his staff were running the 3 country. It's been proven. 4 And the thing about the library, you 5 know, a library is not a warehouse of books. 6 It's a depository of knowledge. And I think 7 that every child should have a library card as 8 soon as they could start reading with the help 9 of their parents. 10 And I think their parents should 11 spend a lot of time making them independent 12 learners. What I have here I'm going put my 13 glasses on. I can't see too well under these 14 lights. I have a set of interrogatories that I 15 sent to ECTV and a request for production of 16 documents. 17 Now this case is just beginning to 18 spin in federal court. I recommended they 19 contact their lawyer and surrender; but, you 20 know, do as you please because I don't think 21 they have a chance, not even a prayer; and I'm 22 only a truck driver. 23 And, you know, the law they're 24 citing, even the Supreme Court said they 25 couldn't use it as precedent. So they're in  18 1 big trouble. I've asked them to state their 2 annual revenue; state any government entities 3 who have contributed funds to you in the past 4 10 years; state whether your company was formed 5 at the request of a government entity; state 6 whether ECTV network was created as part of any 7 agreement or contract; what is the process for 8 ECTV that ECTV uses to determine how shows are 9 assigned; state whether shows are assigned on a 10 first come, first served basis; how does ECTV 11 network determine the time slot for the shows; 12 does ECTV network have full discretion to turn 13 down a request to use a time slot for a show; 14 does ECTV network turn down requests for a show 15 for any reason; state the reason ECTV network 16 would rely on to turn down the request for a 17 show; does ECTV network have full discretion to 18 cancel a show; does any other party play in a 19 role in the decision to cancel a show; what is 20 the criteria are used in determining whether to 21 cancel a show; does Lackawanna County or the 22 City of Scranton provide any guidance as far as 23 discussions to air specific types of content; 24 is ECTV network required to follow any 25 government requirements from any government  19 1 entity; is ECTV required by any entity 2 government or private to set aside public 3 access channels for use for free -- free of 4 charge; is ECTV aware of any entity with 5 imposing requirements on under the Cable 6 Communications Act of 1984; is ECTV in charge 7 of its own content; has a government entity 8 ever exerted control of content on ECTV 9 network; has any entity besides ECTV network 10 ever exerted any control over content that 11 aired on the network; has ECTV network ever 12 taken any business action at the request of a 13 government entity; has ECTV ever taken any 14 action, any business jointly with a government 15 entity; who owns the premises where ECTV 16 conducts business; who owns ECTV network's 17 production equipment; does any government 18 entity have any ownership interest in any of 19 ECTV network's property? 20 Now to produce documents, any and 21 all documents with respect to ECTV's network's 22 formation; a copy of ECTV network's corporate 23 structure; a copy of the names of ECTV 24 network's Board of Directors; any franchise 25 agreement ECTV is a part of with another  20 1 entity; any agreement that creates public 2 access channels on ECTV network; any documents, 3 electronic or otherwise from any government 4 entity advising ECTV on content; any deeds or 5 leases with respect to ECTV's network studio; a 6 list of any of the contributions received by 7 ECTV network in the last five years; any lease 8 with respect to ECTV network's equipment; and a 9 list of any and all political contributions 10 made by ECTV or its Board of Directors in the 11 past 10 years; a copy of any operations policy 12 of ECTV network; and a copy of any government 13 regulations that ECTV is subject to abide to. 14 And the last point I have is, if 15 necessary, I will go to the Third Circuit. But 16 there's a lot more of this stuff coming. And I 17 think everybody should lawyer up. Thank you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan. 19 Angela Ramone. 20 MS. RAMONE: Hello. It's good to 21 see you all again. I would like to start by 22 talking about some words that were said earlier 23 today, something to clarify for the record 24 because I do believe that truth is very 25 important in public settings like this when  21 1 working with elected officials. 2 A person who is on the ballot in our 3 or who is seeking to be on the ballot on the 4 May 20th primary was speaking about 5 conspiracies to keep him off the ballot. I 6 would like to state on the public record that 7 the reason this individual was not on the 8 ballot is due to a prior felony fraud 9 conviction that made him ineligible to serve as 10 a Mayor of Scranton. 11 And he's not eligible to seek an 12 expungement of that felony conviction until I 13 believe early 2026. So even if he were to get 14 that expunged next year, then he would be 15 eligible potentially, but not until then. So I 16 just would like to clear that up for the record 17 and make sure that everyone is on the same 18 page. 19 And to continue, I made some 20 comments last week. William King and Mark 21 McAndrew were not here at the time to hear 22 them. But I would like to briefly restate what 23 I spoke about last week with regards to ICE and 24 how I believe it is important that the City of 25 Scranton does not cooperate or enter into any  22 1 contracts with ICE due to numerous, numerous 2 violations of people's constitutional rights to 3 due process. 4 ICE across the country has been 5 operating stings outside of courthouses, city 6 halls, schools, hospitals, churches, all places 7 that is long been considered illegal or against 8 policy to operate when it comes to immigration 9 enforcement due to the negative consequences 10 that it has on the entire community when people 11 fear if they go to the doctor or if they go to 12 court, even say as a witness to a crime, an 13 immigrant may be afraid to come forward because 14 if they have to testify they could get 15 deported. 16 Those sorts of violations of 17 people's rights are absolutely unacceptable. 18 It's absolutely unacceptable that people need 19 to be afraid that people are masked and unarmed 20 could -- might approach them on the street at 21 any moment without warning, claim that they are 22 ICE and otherwise not identify themselves and 23 insist that they need to take you and take your 24 belongings. 25 It's a terrifying situation to put  23 1 people in regardless of citizenship status, 2 regardless of immigration status and it puts 3 everyone in danger when members of the public, 4 immigrants are not -- are unsure that if they 5 are falsely accused of a crime that, you know, 6 will I get my day in court, will I get to go to 7 a judge -- in front of a judge and prove that 8 these allegations against me are false or if 9 even if I'm guilty, will I go in front of a 10 judge and get a fair sentence, right? 11 That's that sort of social trust is 12 being broken down right now by agencies like 13 ICE. And it puts everyone in danger. If 14 people in Scranton are afraid if they get 15 pulled over for a traffic violation that they 16 might end up in a prison camp in El Salvador, 17 do you think they're going to cooperate with 18 police that they're going to give over their 19 identification that they're going to cooperate 20 and comply with lawful orders or do you think 21 they're going to try and flee introducing 22 danger into the community, danger to 23 themselves, danger to the police officers' 24 lives. 25 It's a dangerous situation for  24 1 everyone here. And until a day comes where ICE 2 is actually set on respecting constitutional 3 rights to due process, I believe it is of the 4 utmost importance that the City of Scranton 5 refuses to do any work with them and refuses to 6 allow them to operate within our city. 7 So that's what I wanted to restate 8 just because I believe it is very, very, very 9 important for our city, for the republic, for 10 members of our local law enforcement that they 11 know that they could trust the public trust 12 them whenever they have to interact with one 13 another. 14 Now, on a separate note, I would 15 like to talk very briefly about some of the 16 code blue shelters in the City of Scranton. 17 While I know the weather has been warming up, 18 it will eventually become winter again. And 19 currently our code blue shelters are supposed 20 to open their doors to the public until the 21 outdoor temperature reaches 20 degrees 22 Fahrenheit. 23 I consider that pretty ridiculous. 24 We don't allow people to have pets outside when 25 it's that cold. And we should raise the  25 1 temperature that these code blue shelters 2 operate to at least 31 degrees. Thank you very 3 much and have a good night. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all 5 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to 6 address Council? 7 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council, 8 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxpayer, taxes paid, 9 by the way. Well, we just had a primary which 10 had kind of a disgusting turnout. But at any 11 rate, I would voice my support for the current 12 Mayor and I would hope that whoever gets 13 elected to City Council -- and I'm not pointing 14 the finger at anybody that you all try to work 15 together to make Scranton -- keep it liveable, 16 you know, make Scranton great again, hahaha. 17 Now, I've been discussing for months 18 cuts to pave. And what's going wrong is that 19 they cut down 5 or 6 inches and they put a 20 patch on it. And they don't fill those grooves 21 up with asphalt and water enters and then we 22 got a big hole. And there are some pretty 23 disgusting -- my block was just paved on Crown 24 Avenue. 25 And there's a 2 inch pothole, inch  26 1 and a half maybe. I might be lying a little 2 bit. Once again, we really need a citizens 3 organization to seek ways of being compensate 4 for tax exempts. We really truly need it. 5 We're at 40 percent tax exempt. And 6 too many more, we might as well just hand the 7 keys over to our houses or sell it to some 8 landlord that's going to charge twice as much 9 as my mortgage or three times as much. 10 The house next door to me is going 11 for $1,350 a month this fall. Very little has 12 been done with it other than structural -- a 13 roof and new heating plant and some windows. 14 And it's 1,350 a month. He's offering me 15 $106,000 for my house that he wants to -- but I 16 don't feel like moving and getting an $80,000 17 mortgage to replace the house I have. 18 Pensions, we really need to look 19 into and I'm only suggesting, I'm not 20 suggesting any deviance on anybody's behalf. 21 But we got a very volatile stockmarket thanks 22 to all of these tariffs and nonsense that's 23 going on in Washington. I went for coffee for 24 my wife. She likes to brew her coffee. And 25 everything is up 5 bucks a can.  27 1 We don't grow coffee in the United 2 States. We grow a little bit in Puerto Rico 3 and we grow a little bit in Hawaii, less than 1 4 percent. And here we didn't even start the 5 tariffs and it's up -- it's up -- well, that's 6 at least 30 or 40 percent. And as far as ECTV 7 is concerned, I disagree with some of the stuff 8 that's said up here about them. 9 I think they're just fine. And I 10 don't need to hear about some rabble rousers 11 from Old Forge that pay for a bunch of buses 12 and went down there and paraded behind a bunch 13 of violent thugs to get into the Capitol and 14 put it online yet on top of it. That's what 15 got him in trouble. 16 My advice to him is if he sees me 17 going down the street, pretend I'm dead. I'm 18 just a ghost and you can't see me. Don't walk 19 up to me, please. Don't walk up to me. 20 Last --last week I heard a thing on 21 Social Security. We have artificial 22 intelligence or artificial idiocy. I don't 23 know which. The lady calls about a missing 24 check. And it states what raise was given out 25 last December. And she states now how else may  28 1 I help you, the AI, and she states about her 2 not -- missing check. 3 And it goes through a hoopla and 4 tells her, well, if you're finished you could 5 just hang up. It was just a big circle. 6 Artificial idiocy. And on these arrests 7 with -- anybody's entitled to a hearing before 8 they leave. And that's whether they're a 9 citizen or not. 10 And just briefly, three Arizona 11 American Indians were rounded up and they were 12 ready to be deported. Now -- and a few German 13 tourists were rounded up. They probably forgot 14 their passport. It's a big book. They didn't 15 want to carry it around. They were carrying it 16 and they were arrested as a suspected unlawful 17 alien. That's ridiculous. It is sad. Thank 18 you and have a good night. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 20 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 21 Now, recycling costs at this point have 22 exceeded $100,000 as we've ignored it for so 23 long, not even including duplicate useless 24 pickup runs. I'm still unsure how the 25 administration is farming for our contractors  29 1 without a bidding process in place. 2 Are we back at the process where we 3 look for a proper vendor, make a deal with the 4 vendor and then put it out to bid as the 5 results have already been chosen? We've seen 6 that before where they've contacted and worked 7 with someone for the actual process. 8 And then they got -- then it was bid 9 out and the person who they were communicating 10 with beforehand gets the bill at the end of the 11 bid making the bidding process a complete sham. 12 Is that what we're up to with recycling, 13 because I've seen nothing go through for open 14 bids. 15 Now we also have a six month 16 recycling calendar that's due. Again, why are 17 we paying for double printing and mailing 18 versus a once a year? Who made the choice as 19 Rubicon made no changes? It was not a valid 20 excuse anyway. I e-mailed some of you a 21 picture of the pothole on Oak and Phinney so 22 you could see the actual scope of it that 23 it's -- that it is the size I've stated it to 24 be. 25 I hope you're seriously considering  30 1 adding to the budget or a process with a 2 candidate taking a city position and on board 3 training. Robert's Rules, the Charter, the 4 Sunshine Act, legal duties and responsibilities 5 and hazards and information on laws that have 6 changed that may affect how you operate. 7 Liability is always a big issue as 8 it can affect the city and because people pay 9 in the end for the city because they write the 10 checks. But it's also personal liability as 11 some things strip government immunity and allow 12 people to sue you directly. 13 We need an on board training for 14 managers, directors, city governments on all 15 boards. Onto a separate action, we have quite 16 a few issues in equity before the Council. 17 When a fire company responds to a fire outside 18 of Scranton, no bill is generated. When they 19 respond in Scranton, a bill gets generated. 20 As we know, the ordinance was made 21 to address the fire company reporting to an 22 auto accident and the primary intent was to 23 charge and be paid for the use of consumable 24 spill material for the absorbing compound, 25 collection of hazardous and the disposal of it.  31 1 Reasonable as it recovers a material 2 loss consumed by the accident. When laws 3 applied to our city residents and not to those 4 outside, there is an issue with equity of law. 5 And I use spill material, but what I'm actually 6 talking about is home fires. No doubt spills 7 are taken care of by all the local 8 municipalities. 9 A bill for fire service to city 10 people is wrong when it's not applied equally 11 to people outside of the city. You've stated 12 you dislike it. Change the ordinance, clarify 13 it, ban it. 14 We were also informed a while ago 15 that when you have a quality of life and other 16 tickets they cost $150 and you appeal it, it 17 costs 300 for the appeal and the 300 is not 18 refundable. The excuse was filing fees and 19 having to pay for a lawyer for the appeal. 20 That's why it's not refundable even if you win. 21 First, if you win an appeal, it 22 should be unquestioned that both the ticket and 23 the cost for filing should be paid in full by 24 the party who lost. 25 The second, the appeal fee should  32 1 never exceed the ticket. I was reminded of 2 this in reading Tims versus Indiana, a recent 3 US Supreme Court case involving the government 4 seizure of a $42,000 car for a $10,000 maximum 5 criminal fine. 6 The Supreme Court ruled that it 7 violated the excessive fines clause of the 8 Constitution's 8th Amendment and it applied to 9 cities and municipalities through the 14th 10 Amendment. Taking down this tiny action if the 11 fine's $150, requiring a payment of the $150 12 for the appeal before it moves forward is 13 reasonable. 14 The nonrefundable part is excessive. 15 I understand you are often charged a fee for an 16 appeal. But it's almost always less than the 17 fine. And it's refundable if you prevail. We 18 see the game here, $150 fine. You are found 19 guilty. You are forced to appeal, $300 20 nonrefundable. 21 So if the city's wrong it gets 200 22 percent of the original action. If the city 23 prevails, it gets 300 percent of the action. 24 Even if you win you lose. This needs to be 25 changed. Why have we identified issues but it  33 1 seems that you have not taken legislative 2 action to resolve them. That is not how this 3 is supposed to work. Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 5 MR. LITTLE: Hi. My name is Rik 6 Little. I'm a resident of Scranton. I'm 7 homeless. And I am running for Mayor of 8 Scranton. I announced this months ago and yet 9 I keep looking at the Times-Tribune and they 10 say other people who aren't on the ballot yet 11 are running. 12 I wish they'd get their thing 13 together and maybe watch Electric City TV 14 because I am running for Mayor of Scranton 15 under -- as an Independent under the mission 16 from God party. 17 I have to collect a lot of 18 signatures. That's what's on this clipboard. 19 I'm not going to be a write-in. I promise you 20 I'm going to be on the ballot because most 21 people think we already had the election. 22 That's because they've been 23 brainwashed by the media and the Courts. You 24 know, people run as Democrats and Republicans 25 for judges. People run as Republicans and  34 1 Democrats for school board. 2 And the whole thing is happening 3 with the Lackawanna County Charter and the 4 Scranton Charter. It's just not right. It's 5 not Democratic. It's not democracy. I would 6 like to thank Mr. Voldenberg because every time 7 I ask for papers from the City of Scranton he's 8 always been very good, you know, and I'm taking 9 note of all the people that are very good 10 because I am going to be the next Mayor of 11 Scranton because I understand how it is. 12 People don't know what's going on. 13 I'd like to support what Lee Morgan's doing 14 about the public access TV because there really 15 isn't any, you know, you read the 16 Times-Tribune, the only newspaper around and 17 you read -- you see the Electric City TV. I've 18 been speaking here for, you know, probably six 19 years talking about my eviction from Scranton 20 Housing Authority. 21 And the people that are running the 22 government and the city and county and state 23 are stealing people's Social Security. And 24 that includes Medicare and Medicaid and people 25 come up here and they talk about, you know, the  35 1 felony and everything. 2 No, President Trump is not a felon 3 anymore, you know, that's over. But, you know, 4 how do you educate people with big things like 5 the media, the Times-Tribune and WNEP 6 television? 7 I'll tell you about WNEP television. 8 Their parent company is ABC television who got 9 paid -- I think it's like 60 million dollars 10 from USAID. All of these things that have been 11 funded over the years are -- it's coming to 12 light thanks to DOGE and everything. 13 But they got everybody gaslit and 14 arguing about this and that. And I'd like to 15 talk about, you know, the judge that evicted me 16 I saw in the Times-Tribune the same judge, the 17 same magistrate who had no right to evict me 18 from Scranton Housing Authority, which I 19 learned how to appeal and then I go to the 20 Court of Common Pleas which is now deciding, 21 you know, who's -- who are our elected 22 officials in the county. 23 And that's, you know, it's like a 24 circus. It goes on every day. But there's so 25 much money spent in the judicial branch. And  36 1 so much money spent and the people that are 2 running for office in their, you know, it's all 3 taxable. 4 And, you know, and being homeless, 5 I've been to every agency. I've gone, you 6 know, every possible thing. I know how this 7 city is run. I look at the budget and it's 8 crazy, you know, and you could see -- and I'm 9 not saying I know how it works. 10 But, you know, there's all of these 11 little groups, you know, that have a piece of 12 the -- a piece of the pie. But we live in 13 America. It's democracy and the vote is in 14 December. And to quote Yogi Berra, it's not 15 over until it's over. My name is Rik Little. 16 And I am running for Mayor of Scranton. Thank 17 you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little. 19 Your time's over. 20 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton 21 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. 22 Yesterday we celebrated memorial day. I see 23 American flags daily when I visit my son at 24 the, I'm sorry, the Davis Street cemetery. 25 It's very well maintained. I also  37 1 see many flags at the Washburn Street cemetery 2 where I donate time helping an amazing 3 nonprofit and individuals who work hard to 4 maintain something so special left behind. 5 We had a very thoughtful cemetery 6 yesterday. Two City Council members were 7 present. They were Mark McAndrew, Tom 8 Schuster, and City Council hopeful Sean 9 McAndrew. That was very respectful for each of 10 you to be there. Thank you. 11 I would also like to thank each and 12 every veteran who served or is serving 13 currently. Thank you. Tonight I will talk 14 about disrespect. You pay for a study to 15 indicate the level of gang activity in our city 16 just to have it single out our veterans. 17 That's very disrespectful. 18 You have three rubber stamps 19 continuously approving the administration's 20 ideas time and time again without question is 21 very disrespectful. Paid study to add stop 22 signs, two-way streets throughout the downtown. 23 It's very disrespectful. 24 Many businesses had parcel 25 drop-offs, indoor and deliveries daily. This  38 1 is how -- is this how it's going to work? Hard 2 of hearing and the blind, what are we going to 3 do for them, disrespectful. 4 Not showing up for the meetings for 5 the Meadow Brook Creek Project or Park Gardens 6 when rents were raised 33 percent, 7 disrespectful. Changing the police testing to 8 where next to no one passes and putting our 9 officers' safety along with that of our 10 citizens at risk is disrespectful. 11 We have a shortage of officers 12 currently. We will fix that. To one of our 13 brave heros Detective Gilmartin -- to one of 14 our brave heros Detective Gilmartin, I'm very 15 sorry to hear our Mayor referred to January 16 11th, 2024 and that horrific incident as the 17 call. It's extremely disrespectful. 18 There's so many who continue to pray 19 for you daily and we will do just that. We 20 truly care. Thank you, Kyle. To have an 21 extended timeline to settle contract disputes 22 with the DPW that will continue for quite some 23 time is disrespectful to all employees of our 24 amazing DPW. We have the best in the region. 25 Thank you.  39 1 To have en extra set of locked doors 2 on City Hall because our Mayor is too afraid of 3 her own city because of the current climate 4 that she has created is disrespectful. To have 5 zero prosecutions because of unwanted deaths 6 due to the opioid crisis, shutting down the 7 narcotics unit which has caused an influx in 8 gang activity, extreme calls for great police 9 officers is very disrespectful, cut a ribbon in 10 Moosic to celebrate a great business Tops 11 moving out of Scranton, very disrespectful. 12 You break your promises time and 13 time again and raising your right hand taking 14 an oath, it's disrespectful. Take away four 15 deep end pools in five years is disrespectful 16 to children and their families. 17 To leave these roads in the current 18 condition with little oversight causing damages 19 to vehicles like the $2,200 that Marie 20 Schumacher incurred is disrespectful. To hire 21 many directors in critical positions using 22 out-of-town waivers is disrespectful. We will 23 have zero. 24 You will know what a winning team 25 looks like prior to the election. She promised  40 1 to investigate the sale of the Scranton Sewer 2 Authority. Instead she promoted Jessica Eskra, 3 the City Solicitor. She was in the corrupt 4 legal department with the sale that took place, 5 disrespectful. 6 Continue to vote the same manner 7 expecting the same results, disrespectful. To 8 take her at her word is disrespectful to just 9 sit at home complain while not voting is 10 disrespectful. To veterans, gave the ultimate 11 sacrifice to preserve our freedoms for their 12 communities not to pay attention to the local 13 doings in their municipalities, disrespectful. 14 To Jeff Horvath from the Times, not 15 to even call, request a comment about my 16 challenge to become the 37th Mayor is 17 disrespectful. Instead, claim that I will only 18 siphon votes if I even run, disrespectful. 19 Everyone loves an underdog. We will 20 be ready on day one with an administration that 21 you will know. It will be very accessible. 22 I'm running again Paige and the machine. It 23 will not be like this for much longer. We will 24 be ready on day one. Change is coming. Good 25 evening, Council.  41 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 3 MOTIONS. 4 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 5 any motions or comments? 6 MR. KING: Just if we can get an 7 update on Lackawanna Avenue as far as paving, I 8 know some of it's state, some of it's city 9 roads. And also when the wall project is going 10 to begin there by basically from the corner of 11 Adams Avenue wrapping around to the Radison. I 12 would appreciate that. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 14 MR. KING: Also, I think you got the 15 e-mail from Mr. Coyne if we could forward that 16 and see if we could get that addressed. That's 17 a pretty bad pothole. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did. I gave them 19 the exact address. 20 MR. KING: Okay. Thank you very 21 much. That's all I have. Thanks. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 23 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 24 comments? 25 MR. SCHUSTER: I do have one. I did  42 1 get a message from some residents during our 2 caucus. It was in regard to the 1700 block of 3 Wyoming Avenue -- the 1700 block to Electric 4 Street, and then Electric Street from 5 Washington to Monsey. 6 They're saying that there's some 7 pave cuts that are in there that are now 8 settled. And they seem to be about two years 9 old if we could have our -- if we could have 10 the inspectors take a look at those. 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That's 13 all. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 15 Mr. McAndrew, do you have any motions or 16 comments? 17 MR. MCANDREW: Yes, I have a quality 18 of life issue. I brought this up a year ago. 19 It seems to be perpetual. And then I brought 20 it early spring. So, Mr. Voldenberg, this is 21 the lot next to Willard School. I know that a 22 little work was done. 23 But my understanding with the 24 residents there is that it's a mess again. 25 And, you know, with the new, you know, Willard  43 1 is making a new -- there's like a new 2 playground they're putting over there. And 3 it's very unsightly. And they're very 4 concerned about it if we could have code 5 enforcement take another look at that. 6 And the same residents over in the 7 same area on 1147-49, 9th Street in the rear of 8 that alley of that property, people moved out. 9 It's -- it's a disaster with rodents, diapers, 10 and garbage all over the place. So I think 11 code enforcement needs to go out there and take 12 a look so this could be rectified, you know, 13 the summer's coming. 14 It's the -- when it starts warming 15 up, it's going to be horrible. And I guess one 16 of -- there's windows blasted out at that 17 property as well. And the 1147 part of it, the 18 gas has been shut off. So I think -- and it's 19 kind of tucked away back there. You know, not 20 everybody gets to see it, so I think code 21 enforcement needs to be alerted to go over and 22 take a look at that, okay? 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 24 it. 25 MR. MCANDREW: And rectify it. And  44 1 next, I was absent last week because I'm a 2 teacher and we had senior awards for my 3 students. So I didn't get to react after the 4 primary results. I would like to share my 5 reaction to the quote of the city's Mayor that 6 has been in the Scranton Times the past two 7 weeks or so. 8 And I have to react to this because 9 I disagree with it and the actual quote is as 10 follows from the Mayor: 11 “We have a real fight on our hands 12 for city council,” she told her supporters, 13 Pousley among them. “We will continue to fight 14 to make sure that we have a city council, with 15 Dr. Rothchild, that can continue to help us 16 make progress and not tear down everything that 17 was built. So, it’s going to be a slog. We 18 got a long way to go until November.”. 19 So my reaction and response is, give 20 me a break. I have voted on 95 percent of 21 legislation sent down to us from the Mayor and 22 the city's administration. My role on Council 23 is that of oversight on behalf of our city's 24 residents. When I do vote no, I own my vote 25 and explain in detail my no vote.  45 1 For example, wasteful expenditures 2 of taxpayer funds of consultants and studies 3 that I believe have not really produced 4 revenues or cost savings for the residents and 5 that's just a few. Like I said, I vote for 95 6 percent. The stuff I vote no for doesn't feel 7 good here and I have questions about it. So 8 with that said, you know, that's all I have. 9 But I had to clear the air with that. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 11 We received today reassessment schedule from 12 Lackawanna County. Mr. Voldenberg, if you'll 13 put this on our website it would be helpful. 14 I'll read off some of the things, June 1st 15 county takes possession of the reassessed tax 16 roll. 17 June 1st through the 10th, 18 assessment office reviews newly assessed tax 19 roll for errors or omissions. June 10th, 20 final assessment numbers sent to the printer 21 for mailing. June 20th, final form values will 22 be mailed to all property owners in Lackawanna 23 County. 24 Appeal forms will be posted to the 25 county assessment website. And then August  46 1 1st, is the final day to file a formal appeal 2 on your new values. August 1st to October 3 31st, the formal appeals will be heard for all 4 property owners wishing to challenge their new 5 values, tentatively scheduled to be held at 6 Marketplace at Steamtown. 7 And then November 14th, new 8 assessment roll will be certified by 9 assessor -- county assessor and values released 10 to all the taxing bodies. So, Mr. Voldenberg, 11 put this on our website so everyone has access 12 to that schedule from Lackawanna County. We 13 received that today. 14 Also, this morning I met with the 15 students and faculty from the Scranton School 16 for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children at 17 Christopher Doherty park on the corner of 18 Linden Street and Wyoming Avenue. And the 19 children brought plants and flowers. 20 And some of them, they started from 21 seeds. This is the fourth year that they had 22 done this downtown. This was the kickoff of 23 Scranton City Pride along with Scranton 24 Tomorrow, United Neighborhood Center, and 25 NeighborWorks of Northeastern Pennsylvania.  47 1 The program begins today May 27th 2 and it goes until June 7th. There are multiple 3 projects throughout the city that cleans up 4 thousands of pounds of trash every year. Last 5 year there were more than 4,000 volunteers that 6 participated in Scranton Tomorrow. 7 They are joined with -- they are -- 8 Scranton Tomorrow is also joined now this year 9 with Lackawanna Blind Association to create a 10 sensory garden. They are doing that on June 11 3rd at 10:30 a.m. It will be in front of 12 their building at 248 Adams Avenue. 13 So if anybody wants to be a part of 14 any of this cleanup or any of these projects 15 going on, you could go to Scranton Tomorrow's 16 website and there is a link there for Scranton 17 City Pride. You could go on there and join any 18 of those groups or if there's something that 19 you'd like to do by yourself or have your own 20 group, you could add all of that to that -- 21 and that's for that. 22 Joan, the payment for last week for 23 the IRS from the City of Scranton, that was -- 24 there was an adjustment made for money that was 25 owed from the retirees' postemployment  48 1 benefits. So it was from 19 -- or 2022. And 2 they changed from like a 1099 to a standard 3 form now. 4 So it will be automatically taking 5 out. But back then it wasn't taken out for 6 some reason that year. That's where that money 7 was. So if you need the documentation, just 8 let me know. But that's where it was, okay? 9 That's it, Mr. Voldenberg. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
