SMURL: Please remain standing 4 for a moment of silent reflection for our 5 service men and women throughout the world and 6 for those who have passed away in our 7 community, especially Kathleen Lahey, Carl Duke 8 Shiner and Tom Beansie Culkin. 9 Tom Culkin was a Navy veteran in the 10 Vietnam War. He started with the station on 11 the Scranton Police Force and retired with the 12 rank of detective. And for over 50 years Tom 13 decorated his home on Moosic Street for 14 Christmas and other holidays bringing joy to 15 thousands of people with his displays. 16 His home became officially known as 17 the Holiday House. Visiting Tom's house is a 18 tradition that will be missed by all. And 19 Moosic Street will never be the same again. I 20 thank Tom Culkin for the memories he has given 21 to us all. Thank you. Roll call, please. 22 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King. 23 MR. KING: Present. 24 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Present.  4 1 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Here. 3 MS.

I want to 19 mention that this weekend coming up is the 20 annual St. Joseph's Center Festival, one of my 21 favorite summer festivals to go to here. And 22 that's going to be happening Friday, July 25th, 23 from 4 to 10, Saturday from 4 to 10 and then 24 Sunday from noon to 7. 25 And they do their annual telethon.  7 1 And this is -- it happens at Marywood 2 University. So it will be tons of things 3 there, lots of great food, potato pancakes are 4 my favorite. And I just want to remind people 5 about that. 6 And then there's also going to be -- 7 we'll be going on break soon so there's a lot 8 of things happening in August, but the Scranton 9 Jazz Festival will be that first weekend in 10 August, August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. So you can 11 catch a lot of great jazz around the city that 12 weekend. That's all. Thank you. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 14 Rothchild. Anyone else? 15 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a quick 16 one. So I would like to congratulate our very 17 own Solicitor, Tom Gilbride sitting over there 18 for being elected the new State President of 19 the Ancient Order of Hibernians and Ladies 20 Ancient Order of Hibernians. 21 This is a pretty big deal. So 22 congratulations, President Gilbride, proud of 23 you. 24 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Thank you. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Congratulations.  8 1 MR. MCANDREW: That's all I have. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, congratulations, 4 Mr. Gilbride. 5 MR. SMURL: Okay. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 7 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 8 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 9 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 10 Scranton. Well, I guess next week is the last 11 meeting before the August recess. And, you 12 know, we hear so much bad news about our local 13 area and about Scranton and this guy's arrested 14 for stealing from the VFW or whatever, you 15 know, kind of thing. 16 But it's kind of nice this way, 17 first of all, it's not nice that we lost Tom 18 Culkin. But just think what a great guy comes 19 from our area, you know, his service to his 20 community as a police officer and everything 21 else he did. 22 But that's not A-typical for 23 Scranton and this Northeastern Pennsylvania. 24 We've had some wonderful people. And then 25 there's St. Joe's Festival going on, you know.  9 1 This community for years and years and years 2 has pulled together to support with private 3 funding one of the worthiest causes you could 4 think of. 5 We take care of those in need. I'm 6 sure there's government funding that's 7 available too. But take pride in the fact that 8 we don't just stick out our hand to the 9 taxpayer. You know, we get together and we 10 have that festival and the telethon and Joe 11 Snedeker and his wild bicycle ride. 12 You know, I mean, if you are not 13 proud of Scranton and the local area, you 14 should be. And every once in a while we harp 15 on all the bad things that happen. But we 16 should also celebrate the good things. And 17 those are just two items. Any movement on 18 finding a new director for DPW? No? 19 MR. SMURL: Nothing I've heard it. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okey-dokey. And 21 negotiations still on track for new labor 22 contract for DPW? 23 MR. SMURL: I don't know about on 24 track, but I know they're ongoing. 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: I haven't heard  10 1 anything about them going to arbitration. 2 MR. MCANDREW: A little birdie told 3 me that there was -- there was contract 4 negotiations were supposed to be on the 17th, 5 but the city cancelled. 6 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, you know, 7 it's going to be seven months at the end of 8 July that they are working without a contract. 9 So hopefully they'll get-going. Although, I 10 saw that Ufberg picked up $11,940 in the month 11 of June. I'm sure that had to be part of that. 12 Also, in the Controller's Report I 13 noticed that in June the city paid out $94,500 14 for court awards. Now, I understand that when 15 the litigation is ongoing, no comment will be 16 made about the litigation. But I would assume 17 that once a court award is paid out, that 18 litigation is completed. 19 I assume my -- you know, that that's 20 the way it works. And apparently $90,000 was 21 paid out to Dyller and Solomon. I assume 22 that's a law firm. I just wonder, you know, 23 who got $90,000 from the city and for what, you 24 know, what was the case. 25 I don't know, maybe I'll take some  11 1 time and do a right to know. But I would 2 assume that litigation is complete. If we're 3 paying out a court award, it should be that way 4 and that stuff should be made public. 5 And I hope maybe the paper would 6 start looking into that so, you know, when they 7 have the court -- you know, the court notes, 8 something like that. I'd just love to know, 9 you know, who won the case against the city and 10 what was that for. 11 And I had a question occur -- 12 speaking of litigation, I saw in the paper a 13 week or two ago that the -- Mr. Basalyga is 14 suing the Scranton Parking Authority. I don't 15 know the specific issue. And then, of course, 16 we've had this CDPS here. 17 And one of the recommendations was 18 is that we dissolve the Scranton Parking 19 Authority and all the assets and liabilities 20 revert to the city. 21 Does that mean that, you know, if 22 there is no Scranton Parking Authority, then 23 the city becomes the receiving end of that 24 litigation? It would be interesting. 25 MR. SMURL: I'm not sure of the  12 1 details, Joan. I could find out. 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: That would be nice 3 to know, you know, because if you're going to 4 go ahead and dissolve -- and is it legal for us 5 to dissolve the authority if there is a pending 6 litigation against them? It would be 7 interesting to know, but who am I? Anyway, 8 thank you and have a good night. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Ron 10 Ellman. 11 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 12 After a couple weeks of walking and talking to 13 a couple hundred people, the general consensus 14 that I find is that Council has failed us. It 15 seems like the only reason you people are up 16 there because no one votes. 17 I can't -- I just can't get over the 18 apathy. I was at the club a couple weeks ago. 19 Six people that own property said they -- they 20 just didn't have any interest in this coming 21 election for the city, doesn't make sense. 22 What we have here in Scranton are 23 the pretense of a Mayor and City Council always 24 run by the Lackawanna County Democratic party, 25 which results in one of the worst examples of  13 1 politics in America, if you ask me. 2 Apparently the people -- the same 3 people that wrote all of these letters to the 4 newspaper and all the interviews on television, 5 they have been taken apart the new laws of our 6 president, especially the -- you keep attacking 7 millionaire tax people not paying taxes. 8 But right here in town, downtown, 9 look at the tax breaks that Basalyga and his 10 developer friends got. WNEP, Glenmaura, the 11 wealthiest segment in our society of this very 12 city that are complaining about the tax base, 13 they're getting it. 14 Another thing that people were most 15 upset about was you giving corporate welfare to 16 all of those future bond -- city bonds. It 17 looks like you're making them free of -- of the 18 problems that came. These people went -- they 19 were broke. Thousands of people have lost 20 their houses, cars and so on. There's no help 21 for them. But here, a wealthy segment that -- 22 investors that you feel sorry for. 23 Another thing, I heard so many 24 people are just totally disgusted with the 25 zoning board. There's properties all over town  14 1 they made into rooms and apartments. They 2 don't have good records of them. The city is 3 not getting anything out of them. It's 4 senseless. 5 Just in my neighborhood, the 6 sidewalks have become parking lots for illegal 7 cars and just undesirable people everywhere. 8 Right here, nobody cares. Nobody reads the 9 paper. Last week's paper a company wants to 10 build 75 apartments on Glenmaura Boulevard. 11 They want a variance. 12 What about the -- this is what 13 happened on Keyser Avenue. We had to build a 14 school for nontaxes. Nobody -- I just -- what 15 about the children? What about all the parking 16 for 75 apartments? And see, nobody just seems 17 to be concerned. 18 This runaway out of control zoning 19 board is destroying our city. They have 20 totally destroyed my neighborhood. Undesirable 21 people are just everywhere around there. Thank 22 you. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 24 Les Spindler. 25 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,  15 1 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 2 homeowner. I also want to comment about Tom 3 Culkin. He was a great man. When my children 4 were younger, we never missed a Christmas 5 taking our kids up there to see the house. 6 And my wife and I went before we had 7 the children. We went up there ourselves. He 8 did an amazing thing. It always blew my mind 9 how much work he put into that. And he's going 10 to be missed. 11 On a good note, I heard noise down 12 the block from me today. And it happened to be 13 Russo and De Maio cutting around the pave cut 14 that was -- I've been talking about for I don't 15 know how many weeks now. I went down to talk 16 to the guy and he said it should be fixed 17 tomorrow or the next day. 18 He said when makes the pave cut, 19 they are there the next day or the day after. 20 So hopefully by the weekend that's going to be 21 done and you won't have to hear me talk about 22 it anymore. 23 But now we have all the other pave 24 cuts in the city to take care of. And again, 25 I'm going to say it, whoever we're paying to do  16 1 the pave cut inspecting, they're not doing 2 their jobs. We should look for somebody else 3 to do it because whoever is doing it is not 4 doing their job. 5 And the gentleman that I spoke to 6 today that did that pave cut to get it ready 7 for tomorrow or the next day, he agreed. He 8 said utilities don't fill them in right when 9 they do their job. I have been saying that for 10 I don't know how many years, but nobody 11 listens. 12 Next thing, hole on Dorothy Street, 13 I talked about for like four weeks now, still 14 nothing done. I don't know what the city does. 15 But they're not doing jobs. It's unbelievable. 16 The police barricades are just sitting around 17 there. And the hole is just sitting there. 18 Maybe somebody falls in the hole, 19 maybe they'll finally do something. Okay, 20 next, Joan keeps asking about a DPW Director. 21 I have a great idea. Hire the best one that 22 we've ever had since Paige Cognetti was Mayor. 23 Hire Tom Preambo back. 24 I mean, after he mysteriously 25 resigned, we have gone through DPW Directors  17 1 more often than I change my underwear. I mean, 2 it's ridiculous. Tom did a great job. And 3 like I said, he mysteriously resigned after he 4 took a leave. 5 I think he was forced out of office. 6 But anyway, we should be knocking on his door 7 begging him to come back because he did a great 8 job. Every time he heard a problem, he watched 9 the Council meetings. He had somebody on it 10 the next day. 11 Lastly, watching Channel 16 News 12 last Friday evening, this idiot woman 13 politician from Harrisburg -- I don't know if 14 she's a Democrat or a Republican. She's 15 proposing a bill that will force people to put 16 license plates on the front of their car in 17 Pennsylvania along with the back. 18 That is the most stupid idea I ever 19 heard. First of all, my car doesn't have a 20 place in the front to put a license plate 21 holder. They have to drill holes and put the 22 license plate holder on. And since I heard 23 that story, I bet 90 percent of the vehicles I 24 looked at are in the same boat. 25 There's nowhere to put a license  18 1 plate in the front of the cars. So hopefully 2 this won't have any teeth and it just gets 3 thrown out. But I think it's a ridiculous 4 idea. 5 Her reason was she said the police 6 will be able to identify a car they're looking 7 for better. I don't agree. It's a stupid 8 idea. I hope it never comes to fruition. 9 That's all I have. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Dave 11 Dobrzyn. 12 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council, 13 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxes paid, etc. What 14 Les just mentioned with that front license 15 plate, by the way, I helped a friend acquire an 16 old beater awhile back. And he had to buy a 17 license plate for $300 thanks to electric cars 18 because they're not paying the road taxes and 19 then we had to raise up -- we had to raise up 20 the licensing fee to $300 for a license plate. 21 So I'm scratching my head here on 22 that. And I didn't like the idea. And 23 apparently 6-A tonight, we're finally going to 24 be legally parking our cars on the streets. 25 Talk about the need for review. Nothing  19 1 towards you guys because I'm about to talk 2 about legacy. 3 And legacy when you run for office, 4 you have a legacy. And it's nothing you could 5 have done much about except your personal vote 6 or influence your family or friends to vote a 7 certain way. And you can't make them do it. 8 And we have a legacy with the 9 parking garages. They were overbuilt. They 10 were overbuilt a long time ago. Everybody was 11 saying how wonderful it was to have cranes 12 across the skyline of Scranton, Pennsylvania. 13 And I scratch my head. And I 14 thought, yeah, they look nice. But who's going 15 to pay the bill? Well, I need not ask myself 16 any further. Here it is. And I'm reasonably 17 happy with it, but I understand it has to be 18 done. The parking garages have to operate. 19 But we have built parking spaces. I 20 don't know if they still get it, but when the 21 garage opened up next to the Casey, they were 22 handed a quarter of a million dollars a year of 23 free parking space. And maybe they are 24 charging their customers 15 bucks a night, but 25 we're -- we may not be seeing it.  20 1 I don't know for sure, so I won't 2 say. And then we have the rentals downtown 3 like I suggested years ago that if somebody 4 wants to go in the landlord business downtown, 5 then they should have to provide parking spaces 6 for their customers so they're not impeding. 7 I don't have to walk out with cold 8 pizza or a cold hoagie or whatever. The 9 street's all parked up and I'm climbing over 10 snow piles and you name it. And the water 11 company was in the paper today. And I thought 12 about the Sewer Authority. 13 You know, they were supposed to be 14 able to incorporate the cost of our sewer 15 processing water into water bills across 16 Pennsylvania. And they were unable do that. 17 And shame on the lawyers that negotiated that 18 contract. 19 Shame on them because they should 20 have thought of something like that. That's 21 why they are lawyers. They didn't see down the 22 line that some other third party, the Consumer 23 Protection Bureau could say no and, of course, 24 we're stuck with the bill once again, $176 for 25 two people for water for the month last month.  21 1 Really, give me a break. Talk about inflation. 2 Okay, I kind of said what I'm going 3 to say on the city. And by the way, 300,000 4 people have died globally of famine and lack of 5 lifesaving drugs already paid for and ordered, 6 5,000 tons of food were destroyed yesterday, 7 burned from USAID. 8 And it just goes on and on and on. 9 It's such a shame, the big beautiful bill, 300 10 hospitals closing. I'm tired of being in a 11 hospital with a Jehovah witness in the room, 12 give me a break or a paramilitary. Thank you. 13 Have a great night. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is it 15 for the sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to 16 speak? 17 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 18 Virgil Argenta, taxpayer, City Council 19 candidate. A recent video showed a city police 20 officer sleeping in his cruiser. While such 21 incidents may prompt public concern, as someone 22 from a law enforcement family, I know firsthand 23 how dedicated officers are and the stress they 24 face. 25 It's important to remember officers  22 1 work long high pressure hours that often 2 require quick decisionmaking and more 3 importantly, they are human too. One moment of 4 rest should not overshadow the service or 5 commitment. 6 Rather than judging, individuals 7 could have checked on the officer's well-being 8 in case of a medical emergency. Our focus 9 should be on supporting law enforcement and 10 fostering understanding and building a stronger 11 community partnership with our police officers. 12 Members of Council, once again, I am 13 requesting information on the total dollar 14 amount of taxpayer funds spent by the City of 15 Scranton to defend legal cases over the past 16 six years. Could you please provide details on 17 the total amount spent on legal defense cost 18 during the six year period, whether there are 19 any notable trends or significant expenditures 20 in legal defense case or costs? 21 And lastly, how does the city track 22 and oversee expenditures? What I'm not looking 23 for is any personal information. I'm looking 24 for a total dollar amount for the last six 25 years. Council President, thank you for your  23 1 service to the city. 2 As a City Council candidate, I have 3 noticed that many questions presented at 4 Council meetings have not received any response 5 or answers. 6 This silence makes it hard for 7 people to understand what's happening in the 8 city with their government. Is there a 9 specific reason for this approach? Are there 10 particular factors or consideration influencing 11 your decision not to answer certain questions 12 from constituents? 13 You're up for reelection, Mr. Smurl, 14 Mr. Schuster. Transparency helps build trust 15 in city leadership. Councilman Smurl, I fully 16 recognize and appreciate the valuable 17 contributions that you and your team of 18 volunteers made to the city. 19 Your work is truly exceptional. As 20 a candidate for City Council it's my 21 responsibility to raise questions and seek 22 meaningful answers. Would it be accurate to 23 suggest that some of your projects are taken in 24 response to staffing shortages within the 25 Department of Public Works, DPW and there may  24 1 be a need for significant additional personnel 2 or equipment? 3 Over the past four years, the 4 department has seen significant leadership 5 turnover with at least six directors which can 6 understandably affect operations. I genuinely 7 welcome your involvement in city projects as 8 your direct experience positions, you well to 9 advocate on behalf of the DPW and increase 10 staffing in pursuit of a fair contract. 11 Your efforts create opportunities 12 for positive change benefitting both the 13 department and the wider community. And we 14 thank you for all you do, Mr. Smurl. Thank 15 you, Council. 16 MR. SMURL: Mr. Argenta, the 17 information you are requesting is documentation 18 on all of that, that would be under a right to 19 know. We don't have access to all of that. 20 MR. ARGENTA: I filed numerous right 21 to knows and I got no answers whatsoever. I'm 22 just asking a broad question from Council. I'm 23 not looking for any information -- I'm just 24 looking for a dollar amount over the last six 25 years. That's all I'm looking for, a total  25 1 paid out. Thank you, sir. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 3 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council. 4 I'm not going to talk about ECTV today, maybe 5 next week. But, you know, let it be what it 6 is. Let's all have some fun. The first thing 7 I have here, you know, as a child when I went 8 to school in the summertime where I worked for 9 LA Lewis -- and that was a moving company in 10 the city. It's still here. 11 And after that when I was an adult I 12 worked for Thomas Gerrity. I moved a lot of 13 people out of their homes in this city into the 14 elderly high rises, low income housing in 15 Moosic and other places. 16 And, you know, I watched as the city 17 just meanders all over the place. You know, 18 we've got to start making some smart choices. 19 Dissolving the contract with the people that 20 run the parking garages was really a very 21 productive thing to do because nobody wants to 22 pay tax. 23 And I think for the government to 24 shield any entity from taxation is wrong 25 considering that people are losing their homes  26 1 because of the tax burden they're under. I 2 really think we need to take a look at the 3 University of Scranton. 4 I think the City of Scranton needs 5 to challenge their tax exempt status -- okay, 6 not maybe. Don't forget President Trump is 7 trying to dissolve Harvard's tax exempt status. 8 We've got major corporations that have hundreds 9 of million of dollars in endowments and money 10 and they're not paying anything. 11 And the University as everybody 12 knows is beginning to expand into the downtown. 13 I mean, they have their own police department. 14 We have to ask ourselves, what is the benefit 15 of all of these things? 16 We have a city government and a 17 county government that keeps buying and 18 rebuilding buildings like the one -- the county 19 building wasting an awful lot of money because 20 there's no private development in the city. 21 You could talk about the person who owns the 22 mall and all the other projects. 23 But so many of them are driven by 24 grant money. You know, somebody has to have a 25 wake-up call here. The other thing I have here  27 1 is, I'm really amazed how great a job that 2 President Trump is doing. 3 Some people just can't seem to see 4 that because they're locked in some delusional 5 Democratic fog on what's actually happening in 6 this country and around the world. 7 You know, but when you take a look 8 at Joe Biden's son out there ranting and raving 9 about what happened to his father and you take 10 a look at what's really happening in our 11 country, women raped and murdered all across 12 the whole country, not just in one spot, 13 everywhere, finding a woman in a barrel full of 14 bleach dead for two months, women being dragged 15 off the street and being carried into a house 16 and thrown in a closet, not one woman but women 17 across the whole country, people being robbed 18 and murdered everywhere because we had a 19 president who let everybody cross our border. 20 And now, of course, as probably 21 everybody knows, former President Obama may be 22 charged with treason soon. Some people may 23 laugh about that. But all of that came out of 24 the records from Washington. 25 And, you know, the sad part is that  28 1 the American people have been shorted by almost 2 everybody in their government. But when a 3 President of the United States tries to undue 4 an election and uses the FBI and the federal 5 government to do it when the rank and file said 6 there was nothing to it and then he asked 7 everybody to rewrite everything, it just goes 8 to show you the kind of trouble we're in. 9 It makes Watergate look like 10 nothing. And then, of course, you have people 11 whether they're ignorant or stupid, I can't 12 tell you that. But, you know, when you look at 13 a country or a community taxed beyond their 14 means with no opportunity, no employment 15 opportunity, nothing, you have to look at the 16 government. 17 You know, we're locked out of City 18 Hall just like people are out of the federal 19 offices because we never get a chance to see 20 our representatives. The thing that happened 21 to ECTV isn't an isolated issue either because 22 its government afraid of discussions by the 23 people who want to change their community. So 24 thank you for your time. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?  29 1 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Tom Coyne, 2 Minooka. First off, the vote for parking last 3 week, the ordinance was rushed into Seventh 4 Order suspending the rules, usually prevent 5 public objections or an emergency. 6 There was a long conversation on the 7 motion. It was left unclear as Councilman 8 Schuster asked, "What are we voting for here?" 9 How is there no issue if a Council member is 10 rushed into vote -- a final vote on an issue 11 move forward suspending the rules if he does 12 not even understand what is contained in and 13 being voted on? 14 And legal counsel could not offer a 15 concise description of what the separate bills 16 entailed. Next, two things were not recorded 17 from the minutes of last week's meeting, one, 18 because Attorney Gilbride chose to comment with 19 his microphone off; and the second was due to 20 no microphone in the gallery to record 21 objections before the session ended. 22 First, I addressed Council. And I 23 note that Mr. Gilbride's statement of executive 24 session was not proper as you need to state a 25 case number or a reason for the need. Legal  30 1 matters is not enough. A simple basic subject 2 on the table was required, not the details. 3 Mr. Gilbride said with mic turned 4 off that was not correct and shook his head. 5 And I replied he could shake his head all he 6 wants. That is the law, in particularity 7 Sunshine Law. 8 At the end of the session when 9 (inaudible) was done reading and Mr. Smurl 10 started to say if there's no further business, 11 I had already stood and said loud enough to be 12 heard but with no mic. I make an official 13 objection and Mr. Smurl ignored that, and 14 quickly on the second adjourned the meeting. 15 After the meeting was over and 16 before he left Council Chambers I told him I 17 properly objected during Council. He ignored 18 me and he said I don't care to hear it and 19 left. At that point we have two Sunshine Act 20 violations, now we have three. 21 Yes, there could be a motion to 22 reconsider as a motion to suspend the order, 23 though the motion to suspend it on was voted 24 and in this case was fast tracked with no 25 emergency.  31 1 The Sunshine Law requires 2 publication of an amended agenda be posted on 3 the next business day. And I've secured a date 4 stamped copy. This has not been done. People 5 come in here and protest an ordinance, see it 6 voted down, then to be revisited without 7 notice, reversed, and fast tracked. 8 It severely impacts the public's 9 right to participate and that's why the 10 Sunshine Act is critically important to bring 11 light into those corners of government. So 12 again, legal matters as a term alone is not 13 sufficient to allow public understanding of an 14 execution session if it was really required. 15 And I object to the lack of clarity in that. 16 Second, I waited until the reading 17 of the agenda was complete to not interrupt and 18 voiced my objection under law as the President 19 started to say as there is no further business. 20 The Sunshine Act permits anyone attending a 21 public meeting to object to a perceived 22 violation at anytime during the meeting. 23 President Smurl ignored this and 24 shut the meeting down. For the record, I make 25 the following objections:  32 1 I object that the Sunshine Act was 2 violated now in three separate acts; one, the 3 specific reason for an execution session must 4 be announced in a public meeting either before 5 or directly after the executive session, 6 including the subject on review; two, Section 7 7101C of the Sunshine Act permits anyone 8 attending a public meeting to object to a 9 perceived violation at anytime during the 10 meeting violated by Mr. Smurl; three, changes 11 to the agenda have to be posted within 24 hours 12 before are allowed if the changes are 13 de minimus, involve no expenditures of fund and 14 don't entail entering into a contract, all 15 three of those were from that session. 16 And the amended agenda must be 17 posted within 24 hours after the meeting. And 18 the agenda -- amended agenda must reflect the 19 changes that were made. The agenda is 20 unchanged. 21 I understand Smurl does not 22 understand Robert's Rules, so how could he 23 understand the Sunshine Act. But that is what 24 legal counsel is here for. I ask City Council 25 to remedy and address all of this. I make an  33 1 official statement on record as I'm aware of 2 the person alleging the infraction bears the 3 burden of proof under Smith versus the Township 4 of Richmond ruling. 5 Smurl is the presiding officer. 6 This falls on you. With knowledge and 7 forethought, do you care to address any of this 8 or offer a remedy? 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Coyne. 10 Thank you. Anyone else? 11 MR. LITTLE: Hello, I'm Rik Little, 12 candidate for Mayor of Scranton still -- 13 although I haven't heard anything about it in 14 the press. For the past year or so I -- until 15 about three weeks ago I was talking to this 16 wonderful funny guy Tommy Culkin. 17 And then I saw the headline "Man 18 Behind the Curtain" in the Times-Tribune which 19 refers to his family thing. When I first 20 started talking to him, he was just a guy, a 21 funny guy. 22 And then I found out he was a police 23 officer. And I've since found out, yeah, he 24 was a Scranton detective. He's just -- I got 25 so many insights about so many things, talking  34 1 about Pub Charles about, you know, his favorite 2 police chiefs, his favorite mayors. 3 And every time I'd talk to him I'd 4 go back to the library and look up the stuff 5 that -- that he mentioned. And I'm very sad 6 that -- that he died last Thursday suddenly 7 because until about three weeks ago I'm just 8 seeing him see almost every day talking to him. 9 There's a service for him in the Hill Section 10 Thursday for everybody. 11 You know, he put on these Christmas 12 and Halloween things that are called the 13 Holiday House and I had seen -- you know, and 14 I'd even -- when I recognized, yeah, it's 15 Culkin, the Culkin family, he didn't even -- 16 he's a funny guy, you know. 17 But, you know, after his death I 18 found out he was the guy that was the main 19 Culkin that was doing it all. And the sense of 20 humor and everything in there, especially in 21 the Halloween things, it's also Tommy. And 22 he's going to be missed. 23 The parking garage thing, you know, 24 I'm reading about that. Well, staying on the 25 police for a second, you know, Tommy would tell  35 1 me until like 2001, the police station was 2 right here in City Hall. And after that, 3 that's where the Civil War Museum was. And 4 then they moved Civil War Museum. 5 John Basalyga gave a space for it in 6 the mall which was great. This is a wonderful 7 community with an awesome history. And I think 8 people should take note about the stuff that's 9 come out about Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, the 10 FBI, CIA. 11 It's clearly treason. And a brave 12 announcement last week by Tulsi Gabbard and 13 this has to be dealt with. This is not 14 Democrat, not Republican. This is the republic 15 of our nation that has to be taken care of 16 locally. 17 The parking garage, the greenview or 18 whatever the entity it's called that they sent 19 things out, there's a consulting thing and then 20 it goes to another group and another group. 21 There's all of these groups in Scranton. 22 Everything's a group. The police are a group. 23 The firemen are a group. 24 The -- all of the 5013Cs are groups. 25 And it's one group against the other. And  36 1 somehow we've lost constitutional governance 2 here. We still don't have a commissioner. And 3 that's the problem. You don't know where to go 4 to. 5 You know don't know, you know, who's 6 the person at the top, you know. Oh, it's a 7 company in Philadelphia that's handling the 8 American Rescue Act ERAP money here now, oh, 9 just like with the parking. 10 They didn't really emphasize the 11 most important thing with the parking. Oh, 12 there's no parking on Saturdays but we're 13 saddled with nine more years with this entity 14 for the parking. And I hope the ballots -- 15 this election is important. 16 And I do not understand why they are 17 still printing ballots in multiple languages 18 and the taxpayers are paying for it. This is 19 not right. And there should be a record of all 20 the people evicted in magistrate's court. 21 There has to be a record. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 23 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton 24 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. I show 25 up here weekly because I care about the good  37 1 people of Scranton. I witnessed firsthand the 2 kindness and people locally more than once. 3 First, was the passing of my mother 4 and then the passing of my only child, a 5 Marine, active Marine stationed in San Diego, 6 passed away the day after his 26th birthday. 7 I'll always be lost without him. 8 Third, was when I was diagnosed with 9 stage two Hodgkin's lymphoma. There is so many 10 people locally who truly care. I don't show up 11 for myself. I show up for them. Some 12 questions get answered depending on the 13 speaker, certainly not a good look. 14 And some could go past their 15 allotted five minutes based upon what the 16 Council President if he likes the topic. It 17 shows favoritism. Mr. Smurl apologized for 18 letting this quorum get out of control on June 19 3rd. 20 It sounded genuine. And I quote, I 21 understand there's a lot of hateful statements 22 that were made and some were directed towards 23 speakers and Council members. It is my job as 24 Council President not to allow hateful or 25 derogatory remarks to be directed towards any  38 1 one individual. 2 As Council President I take full 3 responsibility for not doing my job to maintain 4 order. At last week's meeting, I apologize for 5 not performing my job properly. Smurl 6 apologized, said in part going forward I will 7 fulfill my duties as I promised to uphold when 8 I was sworn in as Council President. 9 Apparently you can't keep your 10 promises. You made a hateful comment towards 11 me last week while walking away from the podium 12 and I quote, "They never grow up, do they?" Do 13 you think that was appropriate? 14 Does Mr. King, Mr. Schuster, and Mr. 15 McAndrew think that comment was appropriate? I 16 would ask Dr. Rothchild the same question but 17 you did the same thing as Mr. Smurl. Any one 18 of the three of you could have said point of 19 order. 20 Mr. Smurl, that comment was out of 21 line, instead not a peep. In the future I 22 would consider -- would hope that you consider 23 using your voice and making it known that 24 inappropriate and improper comments like 25 Mr. Smurl or Dr. Rothchild will not be  39 1 tolerated. 2 Each of you has a sworn duty to 3 every citizen in Scranton regardless of race, 4 color, religion sexual preference or difference 5 of views. My mother taught me at a very young 6 age people are like snowflakes, no two are 7 exactly the same. 8 If everybody was the same it would 9 be a dull world. I choose to be different. I 10 pay attention to the local doings and show up 11 here weekly because I truly care. It's not a 12 good look to others when our Council President 13 makes a hateful comment towards anyone, let 14 alone me. 15 The extra set of doors downstairs 16 does not help either. These things push people 17 away as if what is said in this very room is 18 not important. Weekly, we bring up important 19 issues like our roads, unwanted opioid-related 20 deaths, extreme police calls, just to name a 21 few. 22 However, last week, topic was about 23 our Council President that he didn't like, 24 hence the hateful comment in Fifth Order. I 25 would appreciate a comment from each of you  40 1 about the hateful comments directed towards me. 2 If none of you comment, then you condone the 3 hateful comments that were directed towards me 4 last week. 5 I choose to be different. I choose 6 to be above mediocre. The remainder of this 7 time will be given to Mr. Smurl to apologize 8 without recourse on my end. You too could 9 chime in, Dr. Rothchild. This is what we get, 10 crickets. Good evening, Council. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 13 MOTIONS. 14 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 15 any motions or comments? Mr. King, do you have 16 any motions or comments? 17 MR. KING: I just like to send out 18 my condolences to the Culkin family -- 19 (inaudible.) Thank you. That's all. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 21 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 22 comments? 23 MR. SCHUSTER: So just as Mr. King 24 said, I want to express my condolences to the 25 Culkin family, his wife Marilyn and his four  41 1 daughters. I got to know Mr. Culkin over the 2 years and as well as some of his daughters. 3 But a tradition that was started in 4 my family was my mother and father took us to 5 visit the Holiday House during Christmastime 6 and we passed that onto our child as well. 7 It's something we do every year. 8 Just as everyone has said here 9 tonight, thank him for his service to the 10 Scranton Police Department, the service to the 11 St. Patrick Parade Committee and he will be 12 greatly missed here in Scranton. 13 Tonight we were supposed to have 14 Director Martindale from the Scranton 15 Redevelopment Authority. I was waiting several 16 weeks to hear from her and see her in caucus. 17 So I do believe we've reached out to see if we 18 could secure her for next week's meeting. 19 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct, 20 sir. It's tentative, next week's meeting. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Yeah, 22 thank you, Frank. So I hope to see her here 23 next week with some questions from Council to 24 see what the Redevelopment Authority has been 25 doing over the last year and a half or so.  42 1 Other than that -- one thing for the 2 administration, Frank, if we could get an 3 update. In June I had asked for an update on 4 the delinquent BPM tax where we are in regards 5 of collections and any information that we are 6 receiving on that delinquent BPM. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up with 8 them tomorrow. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: And then as I've said 10 in the last weeks, I have some things out on 11 stormwater on short term rentals and on some of 12 the roads. So I'll follow up via e-mail on 13 those. And also congratulations to 14 Mr. Gilbride on State President on the AOH. 15 That's all, Mr. Smurl. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 17 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 18 comments? 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I'd also like 20 to echo the sentiments from my colleagues and 21 give my condolences to the Culkin family and to 22 thank them for everything that they do each 23 year and the joy that they've spread to those 24 in Scranton and from beyond who've gotten to 25 visit their home and see the lights.  43 1 And it's certainly a great tradition 2 in a lot of our -- a lot of our families around 3 Christmastime. So, you know, I was saddened 4 to hear of his passing. And a few of the 5 things that we have discussed in caucus and I 6 brought up during that time, I'm just going to 7 briefly mention and recap. 8 First off, I continue to receive 9 complaints from a number of people from 10 different parts of the city about the stray cat 11 problem. And I'd like some further details and 12 information from the police department. I'd 13 like to know if traps are being set out and, if 14 so, how many are being set up. 15 So I'd like to get some numbers and 16 further information on that because it seems in 17 some of these neighborhoods where it's -- 18 especially a large problem or where there might 19 be sick cats and kittens that they're still not 20 seeing the traps being set up there. 21 So I want to find out, you know, 22 what barriers there are and what we can do to 23 help. I know in the past, resources have been 24 a problem with not many of the organizations 25 taking -- taking those cats and performing the  44 1 neutering or spaying. 2 But I know that we had also opened 3 up the fire station for them to be temporarily 4 housed or contained, so just want further 5 updates on where we are with that. I know it's 6 an issue every year. But sometimes in some 7 areas it seems even worse than before. 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get those 9 answers tomorrow. 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And 11 something that I have a personal interest and 12 would like to see grow more in our city are 13 opportunities for composting. And there was a 14 business that I visited that recently began 15 composting. 16 And I wanted to find out from our 17 Environmental Advisory Board if there had been 18 any -- anything issued from them recently on 19 composting or if there are any ideas stemming 20 from that advisory board that could be useful 21 for our city. 22 I know it would be something that a 23 future DPW Director could -- could also address 24 with their department. But since we're lacking 25 there now, just want to see if there's anything  45 1 else that we're providing in the way of 2 composting for -- from the city. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: We could ask the 4 administration and the board. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Great. Thank you. 6 And lastly, the streets that I have been 7 mentioning of being washed out over the past 8 month from several storms is still untouched on 9 both Pine Street and East Gibson Street in the 10 neighborhoods of Regional Hospital and Moses 11 Taylor. 12 So for several blocks on both of 13 those streets it's in pretty bad shape. And I 14 had asked last week for a timeline of when DPW 15 would be addressing that. But I don't believe 16 we've received anything. And I want to make 17 sure that the Mayor and the administration is 18 also aware of the severity of those streets to 19 get them addressed as quickly as we can. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct. 21 The barricades were set, but we need to 22 escalate that tomorrow. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, thank you. I 24 appreciate that. That's all that I have. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.  46 1 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 2 motions or comments? 3 MR. MCANDREW: Yes, I'd also like to 4 offer my condolences, thoughts, and prayers to 5 the family of Tom Culkin. I knew him 6 personally. My kids are in their 30s. I have 7 three daughters in their 30s that were excited 8 every year. We had to go to the Holiday House. 9 And you know what, and they were 10 just as excited every year. And even now my 11 grandchildren, we were able to bring them and 12 they were just as excited. 13 I'm also proud of the dedicated 14 police officer he was for the City of Scranton. 15 I mean, he gave it all. He gave it all to the 16 citizens, the little kids every year. He'll be 17 sorely missed. 18 Next up, I have a quality of 19 life/public safety issue at the corner of Acker 20 and Smith streets. This corner is extremely 21 overgrown with 6 to 8 feet of weeds and such 22 that are affecting the line of sight at the 23 intersection. 24 Mr. Voldenberg, I also have pictures 25 that were sent to me that I'll forward to you.  47 1 But this needs to be taken care of. It's -- 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: Thank you. 3 MR. MCANDREW: And, you know, I'm 4 going to speak over the past two weeks and I 5 thought about this before I came. I actually 6 wrote it down that over the past few weeks 7 there's been intense dialogue during Fourth 8 Order, public comment. 9 Myself always being mindful of 10 freedom of speech -- and I'll be honest with 11 you, I've held my tongue at times waiting until 12 Fifth Order to exercise my same right to 13 freedom of speech to defend myself and at times 14 colleagues. 15 But I have done it in an appropriate 16 and professional manner. I could only speak 17 for myself. But I believe that we need to 18 model the behavior we seek from the dais for 19 those in front of the podium during Fourth 20 Order, like I said, public comment. 21 I use this strategy every day 22 standing in front of my students. And that's 23 all I have. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 25 Just a few things that I've turned in and we've  48 1 been on -- working on this week, the 6th of 2 Prospect, to fill in the sides of those 3 sidewalks. That was sent in. That will be 4 taken care of; the 900 of Hickory Street, code 5 enforcement was sent up there; 425 Crown, code 6 enforcement will follow up on that one again; 7 and the 515 Willow Street, the building that 8 was damaged by fire, I've asked them to go and 9 close that building up. 10 There's some open doors and some 11 open windows. I don't know if the city will 12 fix the -- close them up or if we could get -- 13 I think there's a contractor hired for that 14 job. Okay, all right. 15 And then 14 of St. Ann's Street, 16 some cars in the backyard, junk vehicles. And 17 the one on South Irving, 129, it's way 18 overgrown, that I did send in too. And Cedar 19 Avenue, there was a car there for a few years. 20 And that went in today. 21 And also Alder Street and Donnelly 22 Court, we did a cleanup behind the 606 club in 23 the Court. And there's trash and weeds and 24 stuff back there, if the DPW could pick those 25 up. That was by the South Side Neighborhood  49 1 group if we could get that stuff picked up. 2 And also, we did on, you know, with 3 Orchard Street and the study on Whittier 4 School, I should have that shortly. That's it, 5 Mr. Voldenberg. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR 7 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - APPOINTMENT OF 8 EDWARD T.
