18 Anyone who would like to speak on
19 this piece of legislation may do so in Fourth
20 Order, Citizens Participation. Dispense with
21 the reading of the minutes.
22 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER. No
23 business at this time.
24 MR. SMURL: Are there any Council
25 members that have any comments on Third Order
5
1 items? If not, received and filed.
2 Do any Council members have any
3 announcements at this time?
4 DR. ROTHCHILD: I do. I have a few.
5 First, I just want to remind people and it's
6 been mentioned a few times here but Building
7 Bridges is taking place. That's going to be a
8 town hall on disability issues. And Disability
9 Rights Network is going to be there -- a
10 speaker from there.
11 The Mayor will be there, other
12 elected officials. And that's going to be this
13 Friday, July 31st from one to four at the
14 Trolley Museum on Cliff Street. So anyone from
15 the public is encouraged to come and speak
16 regarding disability issues in our area that
17 need to be addressed.
18 And also wanted to make note that
19 the Scranton Police Department's National Night
20 Out is going to take place next Tuesday, August
21 5th from 6 to 9. It's always at the Scranton
22 High School. And then the Latino Fiesta, it's
23 going to be their third annual one. And that's
24 going to be at Nay Aug Park this Saturday from
25 12 to 6.
6
1 And finally, I just wanted to
2 mention something. I know it's been getting
3 around. But I wanted to just add to broadcast
4 it further. But someone is -- there's a young
5 man who's missing in our area, Nicholas
6 Terrery. And he went missing July 26th from
7 Moosic, Pennsylvania.
8 He was at the Litzy's Lounge and
9 then I believe took -- supposedly took an Uber
10 from there and hasn't been seen since. Oh,
11 he's been found. Great. Good. I'm glad to
12 hear that he's been found.
13 MR. MCANDREW: It's a tragedy
14 though. It didn't end well. I don't want to
15 talk any more about it.
16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you.
17 Well, I'm sorry. That's -- that's all that I
18 have. Thank you.
19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.
20 Rothchild. Anyone else?
21 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a quick
22 one. So this Thursday at the Victor Alfieri
23 Club Society from 11:30 to 1 p.m., they will be
24 having their eggplant rollantini dinner which
25 is very popular or you could just have pasta
7
1 and meatballs, half and half. Price is $12 for
2 members, 14 for nonmembers. That's all I have.
3 Thanks.
4 MR. KING: Jerry, I guess we should
5 announce the LaFesta Italiano since we will not
6 be here which will occur. I believe it starts
7 on Friday, August 29th right through the
8 weekend, 30th, 31st and September 1st on Labor
9 Day. That's all I have. Thanks.
10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Frank.
11 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.
12 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
13 MR. SMURL: First, Lee Morgan. Good
14 evening, Council. You know, I just would like
15 to ask the residents of Scranton to finally get
16 involved in something that is going to make
17 their life a little better. You know, Dave
18 Dobrzyn brought up something last week that
19 I've talked a couple times. He talked about
20 his water bill.
21 There needs to really be a major
22 reduction in water and sewer rates. I really
23 think people need to contact the PUC, contact
24 all of their government representatives and
25 organize because we need a massive cut. I
8
1 don't care what the politicians did to the
2 sewer authority.
3 There is just no excuse for paying
4 that kind of money for water. Another issue
5 that I think that the residents need to address
6 is the Scranton parking garage situation and
7 the operators. They should be paying tax.
8 There is no reason why anyone doing
9 business like they are in the city should not
10 be paying tax. There has to be a solution
11 found to that. Their tax exempt status has to
12 be challenged. You know, when you look at the
13 reassessment in the City of Scranton, it's time
14 to realize that, you know, they talk about low
15 income housing and unaffordable rent.
16 But the thing that's driving that is
17 your government because so many people are
18 paying three, four, five, six, seven hundred
19 dollars a month in property tax. When they pay
20 their taxes -- when they pay their property
21 taxes every year, they are paying 4,000, 5,000
22 7,000, 10,000.
23 What do you think that does to
24 people's rents? And that's not even counting
25 upkeep or taxes. I mean, or fire insurance on
9
1 the property, any of those things because
2 what's really happening in our community is the
3 government has made living unaffordable.
4 It's not the person who owns the
5 property. It's not the homeowner that goes to
6 work every day that did that to himself. And
7 then you take a look at just to highlight
8 because we're in Scranton, look at our roads
9 and our bridges and every aspect of our city.
10 It's blighted. And then you have
11 people that run for office continually talking
12 about, well, we've got to do something with
13 absentee landlords and property owners. Well,
14 they've been bled completely dry.
15 And then you ask yourself, well, why
16 can't we do a renewal of the city and make the
17 City of Scranton an employment hub? Well,
18 because they can't take the amount of taxation
19 that the city would extract from them and they
20 can't handle the Licensing and Inspections
21 department because it's extremely corrupt.
22 Don't forget we had an inspector had
23 moved herself and her whole family out of the
24 city and then city government is asking for
25 whistle blowers. You've got all of those
10
1 documents at home. It's amazing. And we've
2 got a Council that's getting ready to go on a
3 vacation here for a little while.
4 But you've got to look at this
5 government and previous governments and you've
6 got to ask yourself, why did I elect
7 governments -- at least over my lifetime, the
8 baby boomers really lit the country on fire. I
9 mean, they just didn't care what was going on,
10 anything that was corrupt is okay with them as
11 long as they didn't have to get involved.
12 You know, I remember when Janet
13 Evans was here and she'd say Kay take a letter
14 and then the people at the bar would be having
15 a shot. That really helps turn a city around,
16 you know, and ignoring all our problems, all
17 the projects with all the grant money wasted.
18 Look, the residents of this city
19 have to come together. I remember Ed Pisano
20 put the Hill Neighborhood Association on its
21 feet and got them a building. The Association
22 sold its building. The neighborhood groups are
23 just in total disarray. They've got nobody to
24 represent them.
25 And you know the crazy part is a
11
1 gentleman came up to me this week and said,
2 well, you know, the Mayor doesn't even live in
3 Scranton. We live almost adjacent to her. She
4 doesn't live here. How can she run? Everybody
5 knows she doesn't live here.
6 The Council has the right to do
7 investigations and they don't care either.
8 Thank you.
9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan.
10 Bob Bolus.
11 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council,
12 Bob Bolus, Scranton. I filed a lawsuit toward
13 the tax increase and the reassessment. I mean,
14 they assessed my church that I bought the Holy
15 Cross Church in West Side for 2 and a half
16 million dollars.
17 It was a $200 church that they were
18 going to tear down. This is the damn stuff
19 that's going on with these incompetent fools
20 that are doing the assessment. I need people
21 to sign a verification to the reassessment and
22 to the tax increase.
23 I filed a lawsuit already. If they
24 join us they'll get a hold of me, their
25 verification. We already have attorneys in
12
1 Philadelphia that are experts in class actions.
2 And we're going to straighten this town out
3 once and for all from the corruption that's
4 going on.
5 They could reach me at 570-346-7659
6 or get ahold of me at Bolus Truck Parts in
7 Throop. This is about all of us. It's not
8 about me. But we're going to get it done.
9 This is the only way to do it. I let Council
10 as you're aware out of the lawsuit over the
11 queer flag that was flying out here and I let
12 the county out.
13 I kept the Mayor in because Cognetti
14 is the instrument that we have to deal with.
15 And once we defeat her, there will never be a
16 flag by the law that's already on the books,
17 there will never be another queer flag on the
18 City Council or any other government building,
19 just so you're aware.
20 That's ongoing, hearings are coming
21 up. And I'm pushing it right to the end. I
22 donated a tractor trailer load of Bob Bolus
23 (inaudible) and truckers for American Trump,
24 $275,000 worth of disinfectant wipes that's en
25 route as we speak to Texas to take care of the
13
1 people in Texas that were devastated by this
2 flood and everything else.
3 This trailer just came back after
4 four months being on the road in Florida,
5 Texas, California, North and South Carolina,
6 Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. They came
7 back. We reloaded it. And it's on its way out
8 now to take care of those people. But it's
9 from a Scranton business.
10 That's what's on my trucks,
11 Scranton, PA. And I want people to understand
12 that. We're a unified group of people here.
13 When it comes to giving we step up to the
14 plate. And that's on its way out there. The
15 other thing that I thought was kind of funny
16 during the King protest -- of course, I'm
17 dealing with police on it where this idiot hit
18 my truck trying to run me off the road on the
19 corner there.
20 And we subpoenaed all the cameras.
21 We're taking depositions of everybody, the
22 police, the individual who they won't release
23 his name, won't turn over who he is or where
24 his car was repaired and all of this nonsense.
25 So that's ongoing. But the funny
14
1 part of it is, Gaughan at the king protest
2 stood up at the podium said he's Bill Gaughan,
3 Lackawanna County Commissioner. But I'm not
4 here as a Commissioner today. I'm here as a
5 parent of five kids.
6 Well, with that statement, Bill
7 Gaughan resigned as a Commissioner because once
8 you're a Commissioner until you are reelected
9 or out of office, you are a Commissioner. And
10 to make that statement, we're proceeding
11 legally now to have him removed from office.
12 We don't need this kind of people around
13 putting these taxes on us and then come out
14 there and say, oh, I'm not the Commissioner
15 today.
16 I mean, just what the hell is this
17 going on around here you're not a commissioner.
18 That's like the Pope saying tomorrow he's only
19 a priest he's no longer the Pope. Is he
20 considered a Pope or is he considered a priest?
21 Or a Councilman saying I'm no longer a
22 Councilman today. I'm acting on my own.
23 So these are the issues we got to
24 deal with here in the city and the nonsense
25 that's going on. I just came back from Florida
15
1 last night. I had a hearing here going on
2 today. And I wanted to come to thank Council,
3 let people know, call my office at 346-7659,
4 stand up for your rights. Join the lawsuit
5 that we got going against the reassessment and
6 the taxes.
7 You got a chance to join a class
8 action suit. You'll be paying pennies on the
9 dollars. If you do it individually, you're
10 going to get raped by the legal system. It's
11 as simple as that. So what I've done is to
12 support the people in this community and help
13 them not get raped and ripped off and be able
14 to stand up with qualified legal
15 representation, get ahold of me.
16 If you don't, don't come crying
17 later on that you got screwed by the city and
18 the county. It's your choice. I'm giving you
19 the opportunity that you're never going to get
20 again. And, lady and gentleman, enjoy the
21 break.
22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus.
23 MR. BOLUS: Thank you.
24 MR. SMURL: Ron Ellman.
25 MR. KING: I think it's important to
16
1 note now, Mr. President, that citizens can also
2 put in an application to appeal their
3 assessments up until this Friday, August 1st.
4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.
5 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, Council. Last
6 week I was at the Dollar Store with Rosie and
7 bought a bunch of cat food. As I was putting
8 it away, Rosie asked the fellow behind her if
9 he wanted to come in front of us because he
10 just had a couple things.
11 He did and went out the door. When
12 I got up there to pay, he left 10 dollars and
13 said to the sales lady to thank us. That's --
14 that's the kind people that I just why I stand
15 here once in a while and say how much I love
16 the city and the residents because of real
17 people like that.
18 When I was walking around getting
19 some names the last month, I had one fellow say
20 don't be a stranger, come back. I had people
21 tell me to come in out of the heat, asked me if
22 I wanted a beer, which I took. Alcohol has
23 touched my lips before in case you think I
24 shouldn't have done that.
25 And another thing, I think anybody
17
1 running for office in this city and the county
2 ought to have to walk the streets like I did
3 and get a hundred names and meet the people and
4 have the people meet them. It should be a
5 prerequisite and I think should have to be an
6 independent for a year before you could jump in
7 there like these phonies do to grab some votes
8 away from somebody that is more capable.
9 And another thing I encountered was
10 three, four, five people have a real fear of
11 losing their homes, the most precious things
12 they'll ever have.
13 That's not just low income people or
14 minorities. It was some renters. They had a
15 fear maybe the owner would lose the property
16 sooner or later. Well, from some property
17 owners now, I found a program. For some reason
18 it's unknown. And nobody seems to want to
19 advertise it.
20 It's called the elderly extension or
21 the deferral program. It was approved by the
22 Commissioners in 2016. And it was printed in
23 the Times, Tuesday, December 27th, 2022. This
24 will be a God send for some people. Real
25 quick, basically the homeowner pays no taxes
18
1 and you heard me right, taxes -- no taxes that
2 keep occurring over the year and the heirs on
3 the new owner has to catch up on them.
4 And there is 9 percent interest.
5 But this is such a good program for many that
6 just don't have nothing to lose trying it. The
7 neighborhood that -- the NeighborWork of
8 Northeast Pennsylvania could explain it. I
9 guess the sales tax and the Single Tax Office
10 could well explain it to people.
11 I hope you all have a good summer
12 away from me anyway. It ought to mean
13 something. I just can't take this heat and do
14 like I did just last summer. I used to jump in
15 the car to go somewhere. Now I put the air on
16 to go to the grocery store. I hate to admit
17 it, but I guess it's old age. Y'all
18 have a good summer, you hear. Bye.
19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman.
20 Rose Mary Kane.
21 MS. KANE: Good evening. Thank you
22 for the opportunity to speak to you tonight.
23 My name is Rose Marie Kane, Scranton native,
24 resident, taxpayer and voter. I'm here tonight
25 to give a great big thank you to Scranton's
19
1 Animal Control, the amazing women of Scranton's
2 Animal Control who helped a poor street cat who
3 lives next door to me in a condemned home.
4 I saw this cat -- I feed this cat
5 every day. And I noticed his face was mangled
6 and he had matts on his chest. So I reached
7 out to Animal Control. And amazingly, they
8 were very passionate about helping this poor
9 cat.
10 In particular, Sam, went above and
11 beyond to find a vet to help him to see him and
12 thank you, Dr. Ramsey. Thank you, Griffin
13 Pond. So Sam and Kathy taught me how to trap
14 the cat. Once I got the cat, Sam came and got
15 him, brought him to the vet.
16 It turns out the poor cat had eight
17 infected teeth that needed to be extracted.
18 And his matts were shaved. And imagine you
19 have a toothache, one toothache and it
20 dominates your world until you get it fixed.
21 This poor cat had eight of those
22 massive toothaches. And my neighbors said that
23 he had that mangle mouth for years. So Animal
24 Control, Dr. Ramsey, Griffin Pond, a million
25 thanks to you. This cat now -- they say his --
20
1 on his records they estimated his age to be 10
2 years old.
3 Now he looks like a 10 month old
4 kitten running around playing with colony cat
5 mates, eating great, antagonizing the dog next
6 door. He is a new cat. So I am forever
7 grateful. But as you know, Scranton has a cat
8 problem. And many cities have a cat problem.
9 But many cities don't have the
10 advantages that Scranton has like an amazing
11 Animal Control team, amazing rescue groups like
12 Street Cats and Dogs at Nay Aug, Katrina and
13 her team at Animal Care Associates.
14 We also have the best citizens on
15 the planet, the kindest, most giving, warm,
16 willing to help people I've met. And we also
17 have something that I think -- personally I
18 don't think we're at the point of no return
19 with the cat population like cities like New
20 York, Chicago, Philadelphia are where only a
21 drastic change could make something better.
22 So we have a lot of things going for
23 us in Scranton. But like New York did when
24 they had a rat -- a huge, huge rat problem
25 which they always have a huge rat problem, but
21
1 when it really got out of control, they
2 appointed a rat czar.
3 I think Scranton would be good to
4 appoint a cat czar, someone whose main focus it
5 is to take all of these wonderful groups that
6 we have including the public, including, you
7 know, Animal Control, the rescue groups and
8 that person's main focus is helping this cat
9 population go down.
10 It's a poor reflection of the
11 community that allows its most vulnerable
12 citizens to exist like this, to exist at all
13 quite frankly. So, yeah, I have a lot of
14 experience with animal rescue, animal --
15 working in the animal control in several cities
16 in this country.
17 I work full time, but I would be
18 interested in helping establish a cat czar
19 position here in Scranton. I would take the
20 salary of a dollar a year. I want to be a part
21 of the solution. So thank you so much for your
22 time and have a good evening.
23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.
24 Voldenberg, will you pass that thanks and
25 gratitude along to our Animal Control
22
1 Department and provide her name to them.
2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
3 MS. KANE: Sorry, one more thing. I
4 could be reached at Rose Marie Kane one at
5 gmail dot com. That's Rose Marie, not Rose
6 Mary, Kane, K-A-N-E. Thank you.
7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les
8 Spindler.
9 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, Council
10 Les Spindler, city resident, homeowner.
11 Finally the pave cut on my street got fixed.
12 And plus there was another one further down the
13 block that was fixed. But they did those two
14 and four on Dorothy Street. But they didn't
15 finish. They didn't seal either of them.
16 Six are finished without sealing.
17 That's not good. So hopefully they're going to
18 come back and seal them. Because, if not,
19 they're just going to come apart. Next thing,
20 the hole on Dorothy Street that I've been
21 talking about for, like, five weeks now, I
22 forget if it was last Wednesday or Thursday I
23 was walking by with my dog like I always do.
24 And the hole was filled with
25 blacktop. I was shocked. So anyway, kept
23
1 going on our walk; and on the way back I'm
2 going by there again, a DPW truck pulls up.
3 And the guy driving said, Who filled the hole?
4 I said, I have no idea. He came before and it
5 was filled.
6 He said -- he said, We called the
7 water company, called the gas company, neither
8 one of them took responsibility. I said, well,
9 they're lying. It's the water company's
10 responsibility. I saw them dig it up a year or
11 two ago. So he said, I was going to come down
12 here and dig it up.
13 So anyway there was people from
14 Rossi Rooter digging a trench behind the
15 softball field which is right next there where
16 the hole is. But he was going to talk to those
17 people and see if they had anything to do with
18 it.
19 When I went by later that night,
20 there was white lettering all around the hole.
21 It's a DPW -- it had some numbers and letters.
22 I don't know what it all meant. So I don't
23 know if they're going to come and dig it
24 eventually or what.
25 I said it's got to be dug up. I
24
1 told that gentleman. He knew me. I didn't
2 know him. I said that's got to be dug up and
3 they got to find out what the problem is. And
4 lo and behold, I walk by today -- I'm sorry,
5 yesterday, there's a small hole forming again
6 right in the middle.
7 I went by today, the hole is getting
8 bigger. So yesterday -- whoever filled it in
9 moved all the horses away that the police had
10 around, never put them back. So when I saw the
11 hole opening up again yesterday, I put one of
12 the horses backs.
13 If cars and trucks keep going over
14 that, somebody is going to get caught in the
15 hole. And Emiliani Trucking goes up and down
16 there a couple times a day with their 18
17 wheelers. So I don't know what the answer is,
18 but that's got to be dug up and filled in.
19 Nobody thinks I know what I'm
20 talking about. But I do because I said that
21 the holes are going to fill in again and they
22 did. Next thing, where that flood control
23 project is in Green Ridge Street, I think
24 they're done in the shopping center. That's
25 all paved and everything.
25
1 Now today they had that guy with
2 saw, round saw making the cuts. They can't do
3 that. That's -- that whole road was dug up
4 curb to curb. That's got to be milled and
5 paved curb to curb. They were just cutting
6 certain areas. You can't do that.
7 I don't know whose responsibility
8 that is, but whoever did that flood control
9 project, they dug the road out and the road was
10 closed for a couple of days after the detour.
11 But they can't just spot mill it. I mean,
12 that's got to be dug from curb to curb.
13 Like I said, I don't know whose
14 responsibility it is. But they're not going to
15 fix it the way it's supposed to be. It's a
16 mess.
17 MR. KING: Les, is that in the
18 parking lot or on Green Ridge Street?
19 MR. SPINDLER: No, it's right on
20 Green Ridge Street.
21 MR. KING: Where -- just off the
22 bridge there where the light --
23 MR. SPINDLER: The bridge, just
24 by -- a little past CVS. Lastly, this has
25 nothing do with city business, but I have a
26
1 public service announcement. Last Saturday I
2 noticed a nail in one of my tires. Well, I
3 bought the tires at Kost. They were closed.
4 So I went to Mavis Tires. They took
5 the tire off. They said, oh, it's
6 unrepairable. It's too close to the edge. We
7 have a tire we could give you for a hundred
8 dollars. I said, well, I'm not going to pay a
9 hundred dollars today.
10 Took it to Kost today, took the nail
11 out, fixed the tire and no charge. I know
12 because people told me Mavis Tires is a bunch
13 of gypsies. So I'm just telling people, don't
14 ever do business with Mavis Tires. They just
15 want to sell tires. They don't care. And I'm
16 told most places when you buy tires, they'll
17 balance them for free.
18 They charge you $20 a tire I'm told.
19 So they are a bunch of gypsies. Don't ever do
20 business with Mavis Tire. All they wanted to
21 do was sell me a tire and there was nothing
22 wrong with my tire. That's all I have. As the
23 song goes, see you in September.
24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler.
25 Scott Thomas.
27
1 MR. THOMAS: Hi. I'm Scott Thomas,
2 CEO of the Scranton Public Library. First, I
3 want to thank you for the Scranton Public
4 Library Authority appointment today. But I
5 also want to announce the Bookmobile is back
6 after four years of not being around, brand new
7 bookmobile.
8 And tomorrow in front of the
9 Children's Library over on Vine Street between
10 10:30 and 11:30 you could come and visit it.
11 That in the morning -- in the morning it's
12 going to be like kids' programs. And then
13 12:30 to 2:30 it's there as well.
14 And it's so people could come and
15 see it. It's air conditioned, okay. So and
16 we're really excited about having that on the
17 road again because there's places that people
18 can't get to the library that we could go to
19 the neighborhoods now.
20 We could go to the daycares. And
21 the schools don't have libraries anymore. So
22 we could go there in the fall. So we're
23 excited about having it. And we just hope
24 people will stop by and see it. You're
25 certainly going to see it on the streets
28
1 because it's very obvious what it is. So thank
2 you.
3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Thomas.
4 Dave Dobrzyn.
5 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council,
6 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxes paid. It was
7 mentioned about, you know, university came up
8 last week and it's a tax exempt. And I spoke
9 to a school director a few days ago. And if
10 Regional Hospital goes tax exempt, nonprofit,
11 it's going to cost the school district alone
12 1.8 million in taxes a year.
13 So that's what we're up against
14 here. We have too many. And I don't expect a
15 tax exempt institution to pay -- start paying
16 taxes or fees. That's not the purpose of them.
17 The purpose is to get services to the people
18 that need them, nonprofit medical care or
19 clinics or you name it, we have it.
20 But it's disproportionate and the
21 state is doing nothing to compensate for the
22 loss. And it's about time that if we truly
23 have concerned citizens instead of coming up
24 and bashing legacies and trying to come up with
25 conspiracy theories or claiming that somebody
29
1 doesn't really live here then when they, in
2 fact, do it's -- why don't you get together and
3 keep your nose to the grindstone and get
4 committees formed to study this and go after
5 the state and bring attention to it because
6 that's the only way you're going to get
7 results.
8 Otherwise, it's going to grow and
9 grow and grow and grow. We're probably in
10 excess of 40 percent. We might be reaching
11 about 45 percent tax exempts. And that is a
12 lot of people.
13 Furthermore, on public -- public --
14 people holding public office, when you get
15 elected you have a legacy that you have to
16 honor. You have to honor the pensions. You
17 have to -- there's thousands of things. You
18 have to enforce the laws that exist, modify the
19 laws unless you could change them.
20 And that's a problem because when
21 somebody is running against you that has no
22 batting average, no legacy of any public
23 service, then they could make whatever claim
24 they want. And it's all a matter of who's
25 going to believe it and that's it.
30
1 Parking, rentals should require
2 rentals in a garage if we're going to have
3 apartments downtown. That's all there is to
4 it. They should have a space that is paid for
5 maybe with their name on it as close as
6 possible. But parking up in front of
7 businesses that are, in fact, open so you could
8 walk up stairs to your apartment and then
9 everybody else is locked out.
10 They're either stuck walking a block
11 or two blocks or whatever to acquire some kind
12 of whatever goods they're out after. And one
13 of our legacies was the water company was
14 mentioned. The lawyers, the way they wrote the
15 sale and the closing, there's nothing there
16 if -- that they're unable.
17 They are totally unable to nullify
18 broken promises or, you know, we were promised
19 that a little bit of our sewer bills would be
20 involved with water and stuff like that from
21 out of town. And it was banned by the State
22 Consumer Commission and now here we are $150
23 water bills for nothing.
24 Congratulations once again to Elon
25 Musk. Bill Gates called him the richest man in
31
1 the world killing the poorest, 300,000 people
2 have died since he got rid of USAID.
3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Dobrzyn.
4 Rik Little.
5 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council. I'm
6 running for Mayor. My goal is to repair the
7 City of Scranton. Things have been going on
8 for years and years. August 1st is the
9 deadline, I guess, a deadline for your notice
10 of appeal of the reassessment. It's a whole
11 legal matter.
12 It just keeps going on taxing the
13 property, taxing -- tax, tax, tax everywhere.
14 And the common denominator is the legal thing,
15 which really makes we wonder because I seem to
16 remember that the flag up there, the American
17 flag had a gold fringe on it when it was first
18 coming here.
19 And I see the Pennsylvania flag has
20 a gold fringe. Does anybody know what happened
21 to the gold fringe on the American flag there?
22 Well, in its relevance, I mean, to a lot of
23 people it sounds like nonsense and conspiracy
24 theory. But from what I see happening, the
25 things I've been looking into, I mean, I don't
32
1 think we're under completely maritime law and
2 that's what the gold fringe denotes.
3 So American flag is federal.
4 Pennsylvania is state. So I was just wondering
5 if the state is still under maritime law.
6 This is the law that came into being after
7 1871, same time as the 14th Amendment when
8 people started talking about equality.
9 This whole century of equality that
10 really came in at the end in 1965 with the
11 Medicare, the Medicaid. And often not talked
12 about thing -- the older adults act also came
13 out in that year. And I think that's really
14 being exploited in this area through the Area
15 Agency through the HUD Housing Authority
16 because it's written in stone.
17 I went up there to Park Gardens.
18 You could see it. It's written in stone,
19 Scranton Housing Authority 1952. And the laws
20 of concerning landlord/tenant things, you know,
21 which is the difference between having a home
22 and being homeless is those laws -- and I don't
23 think the judiciary is really looking very
24 good.
25 I mean, I don't understand why we
33
1 have Democrat and Republican judges, you know,
2 I guess so people vote judges in and they do
3 stuff. And they have done a lot of stuff to me
4 and a lot of other people that is just not
5 right, namely making me homeless and putting
6 this pressure on all the old people in the
7 Housing Authority who hardly, you know, a lot
8 of -- who are expected to understand the
9 websites.
10 The information is not there.
11 People are not given notice -- proper notice
12 for things. And that's what the August 1st
13 deadline is. You have to put your notice in.
14 And then you have to hire a lawyer. Everything
15 is about lawyers.
16 You know, it's like AI. The
17 information that I found 10 years ago is just
18 gone. Anyway, I used to have a no trespass
19 sign on my Scranton Housing Authority door for
20 about four years citing my Fourth Amendment
21 rights when they confiscated my stuff and held
22 it for two and a half years and five years of
23 fighting them in court when it shouldn't have
24 even gotten to the court in the first place.
25 That is one of the things I'm going
34
1 to try to repair because there is no oversight.
2 I mean, you go into a court case, oh, you have
3 to appeal it. But there's no oversight.
4 There's no understanding.
5 And when a person is 80 years old
6 and they're told they got to go and then the
7 sheriff comes and throws out of all of your
8 possessions it's very depressing and it's not
9 right, right here in Scranton.
10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little.
11 MR. LITTLE: Have a nice summer.
12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all
13 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to
14 address Council?
15 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council,
16 Tom Coyne, Minooka. First of all, when I was
17 taking a look at the agenda tonight I noticed
18 5-A, listed as motion to ratify as reconsidered
19 and passed by the suspension of the rules.
20 Reading that and reading everything that is
21 involved in it, I really have no concept after
22 looking at it three or four times what that
23 actually means.
24 It was voted on, reconsidered, and
25 passed. Yet, we're ratifying something that's
35
1 passed. I've never seen this before in a body.
2 So it's extremely confusing to what this
3 process actually is. Taking a look at page 176
4 of that document included, it was interesting
5 to note as I looked at the competitive parking
6 action in the facility's agreement in that.
7 What that basically meant was and I
8 understand it now after looking at this, when
9 the city made its new zoning laws and zoning
10 ordinance, they actually put in a regulation
11 that Center City could not have parking. You
12 can't put any new parking in Center City.
13 Well, that's because we have a
14 noncompete with the Parking Authority. So it
15 protects them through zoning from having
16 competition, sort of like a monopoly. It's
17 specifically in the bill under the competitive
18 parking action.
19 It just seems a little odd that this
20 is in here and suddenly the zoning and Center
21 City was actually moved forward to say that you
22 can't have new parking in Center City. It
23 seems a bit noncompetitive. But then again,
24 that's the Parking Authority for us.
25 Now, I've just put forward to you,
36
1 Mr. Smurl and Mr. Gilbride, is a court
2 challenge for violation of the Sunshine Act.
3 You have now been legally served. Thank you
4 and have a good night.
5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Coyne.
6 Anyone else?
7 MR. MANCINI: Wow. Good evening,
8 Scranton City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton.
9 Welcome to the season finally. Tonight in my
10 opinion the current condition of our city,
11 unfortunately our city looks a little bit
12 tired.
13 Once not long ago Scranton showed
14 promise in its architectural charm. Property
15 owners have kept their properties regularly.
16 You see less of that nowadays because of high
17 taxes, less services and our current climate.
18 We're losing good citizens because
19 of the frequency and nature of our police calls
20 like the one the other evening involving a 30
21 year-old woman being stabbed in the chest in
22 South Scranton, continued prayers for her
23 recovery.
24 These are not isolated incidents.
25 These are the kind of calls that affect our
37
1 whole city, causes good people to move, be
2 aware of their surroundings, not go out at
3 night, get cameras, make sure their doors are
4 locked, who their children are with and they
5 are generally worried.
6 I'm in the process of getting a list
7 of unwanted opioid-related deaths in our city
8 from January, 2020 to current. Those numbers
9 are important because locally no one gets
10 prosecuted for their actions.
11 It causes those who do not care to
12 offer synthetic opioids like fentanyl and tran
13 dope. These are in our area and cause unwanted
14 deaths. Families and loved ones struggle to
15 get their closure. The current Mayor has
16 changed the structure of our police department,
17 no longer have a Narcotics Unit specific to the
18 current crisis, do not have a gang unit.
19 There is no need to change these for
20 the worse. So much gets overlooked. Let's
21 talk about our roads. Pave cut after pave cut,
22 very little oversight and we outsource the
23 critical department within DPW infrastructure
24 gets overlooked.
25 One of you please request that the
38
1 third party company come before caucus to
2 explain the method of their madness because of
3 the swerve patterns, no oversight while PA
4 Water just cuts into our roads without a care
5 in the world which totally sucks.
6 Do not be oblivious to facts,
7 Council. Do your jobs that you were elected to
8 do or step down. Wanting to be done with
9 meetings at a certain time is disrespectful.
10 Each of you is off for one month in August
11 while families prepare their kids to return to
12 school.
13 Last evening at a Scranton School
14 Board meeting, city director requested a list
15 of every bus stop be given to the city to
16 provide crosswalks. I would hope that one of
17 you request the same from the school district,
18 forward it to the proper direction, ensure that
19 these intersections get proper attention.
20 Safety of innocent children is extremely
21 important.
22 For the news media outlets like the
23 Scranton Times, yesterday's news tomorrow, my
24 civil liberties have been violated twice, once
25 by Dr. Rothchild and again a couple weeks ago
39
1 by Council President Smurl. Yet, nothing from
2 the media outlets.
3 Mediocre just like the majority of
4 Council. Allow me to mention that a third
5 party Council member spread absolute lies about
6 me going into business for himself shutting
7 down the West Scranton Crime Watch. Mr.
8 Schuster decided that he was more important for
9 the safety of the children that he was elected
10 to defend.
11 Those of you who truly care have not
12 given up on our city like me. Those in
13 attendance here cordially invite you to the new
14 season September 2nd, Council Chambers, 6:30
15 p.m. Let's pack this chambers. Get your
16 concerns like roads, crime, extra set of doors,
17 the Mayor announcing for Congress on Labor Day
18 weekend, blight, the homeless, etc.
19 There is no reason to walk up to
20 this podium and speak your mind and be nervous.
21 Those that are mediocre should have those
22 concerns. After all, there are those who do
23 not answer important questions and have
24 prepared statements much like Sara Cruz at the
25 Scranton Housing Authority meeting or the Park
40
1 Gardens' residents, never even visited the
2 complex, had fake tears and jacked the rents
3 for 166 units.
4 She once called Mr. Schuster an
5 inspiration. Those who care about Scranton
6 with real tears will see you September 2nd for
7 sweeps week. Good evening, Council.
8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Mancini.
9 Thank you. Anyone else? Mr. Voldenberg.
10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER.
11 5-A1. MOTION TO RATIFY, AS

2 MR. SMURL: As Chairperson for the
3 Committee on Rules I make a motion to ratify
4 5-A1, File of the Council No. 84 of 2025.
5 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.
6 MR. KING: Second.
7 MR. SMURL: On the question? Roll
8 call, please.
9 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King.
10 MR. KING: Yes.
11 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.
12 MR. SCHUSTER: No.
13 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.
14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.
15 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew.
16 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.
17 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl.
18 MR. SMURL: Yes. I hereby declare
19 Item 5-A1 ratified.
20 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-A2. MOTIONS.
21 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have
22 any motions or comments?
23 MR. KING: Just one comment, the
24 Mayor lives on Euclid Avenue in West Scranton.
25 I have been there multiple times. I don't know
43
1 what to tell people. The Mayor lives in the
2 City of Scranton. Enough with the nonsense.
3 She lives here. Otherwise, she could be
4 handcuffed and brought to the county jail or
5 whatever. But I'm just -- I'm sick of it.
6 It's ridiculous. She lives in the City of
7 Scranton. Period. Have a great summer.
8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.
9 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or
10 comments?
11 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. Tonight I was
12 hoping to see the representative or a director
13 for the Scranton Redevelopment Authority come
14 to our caucus. We have been waiting for some
15 time now to see her and see what the
16 Redevelopment Authority is doing.
17 So she is not here tonight. We hope
18 to get her after August and into the month of
19 September. So I do, you know, wait to see what
20 is said. Tonight in caucus we did discuss
21 getting the Redevelopment Authority Board in
22 with their solicitor. So I do like that idea
23 if we could get the board as well as the
24 director to tell us what the Redevelopment
25 Authority has been doing over the last year and
44
1 a half, two years.
2 MR. VOLDENBERG: We will, Mr.
3 Schuster.
4 MR. SCHUSTER: That's all.
5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster.
6 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or
7 comments?
8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First,
9 I've received some responses to the questions
10 that I posed last week, one of them being
11 regarding composting programs within the city.
12 The response I received was that the Recycling
13 and Solid Waste Task Force of the Environmental
14 Advisory Council briefly discussed composting
15 in the city.
16 Its focus has primarily been on
17 understanding the barriers and opportunities
18 for restaurants to divert their food waste and
19 they've also discussed the composting pilot
20 project that city is working on with the
21 Greenhouse Project and toward the compost
22 operation at task force member Rashida Lovely's
23 Community Center.
24 And I'd also been asking for several
25 weeks about the washout of pavement along a
45
1 couple streets in the hill over near Regional
2 and Moses Taylor. And I was told that city
3 engineers are developing a scope of work to
4 repair the roads damaged by the recent storms.
5 However, today they did patch up at
6 least one section that was at an intersection
7 near Regional Hospital and blocking the
8 handicap accessible curb. And so I was glad to
9 see that that area was patched up.
10 I understand that, you know, there's
11 a larger portion across several blocks and
12 that's where the City Engineer will come into
13 help develop a plan for that. So hopefully
14 that will come together quickly. But I know
15 over the month of August I'll stay on top of
16 them with it to ensure that those repairs are
17 made.
18 And I had also been asking about the
19 feral cat issue. So I do appreciate the
20 speaker coming tonight to thank the City Animal
21 Control for the work that they had done near
22 their home. And I had received some additional
23 details from the Scranton Police Department.
24 They did say that the Animal Control
25 unit is fully staff and equipped. And they
46
1 aren't reporting any degradation of services.
2 They're aware of some of the addresses that we
3 have sent them where we've received some of the
4 complaints.
5 They included and mention some of
6 the things that they have had Golden Avenue but
7 some of it was between 2018 and 2022 with the
8 trapping and fixing of 29 stray cats in that
9 area. But obviously it seems like a more
10 recent problem despite the work that they have
11 done there in the past that residents are still
12 experiencing.
13 So I will -- I'm hoping over the
14 break to be able to meet with them and Chief
15 Carroll to talk some more about it and possibly
16 develop other solutions. I know that there are
17 certain seasons where it's more of a prominent
18 issue. And that's currently.
19 But it's also been ongoing for many
20 years. So maybe there is longer term solutions
21 we could come up with. And I had a question
22 for our IT Department. And I know it's
23 something that's been brought up in public
24 comment in the past. I mentioned it during our
25 caucus too.
47
1 So I just figured I would bring it
2 up here. I know I've been having issues with
3 loading the website even just getting to the
4 landing page and then getting to our City
5 Council page, our agenda. So I could only
6 imagine how the residents or other visitors to
7 our website are having that issue and I'm
8 wondering what we could do to rectify it and
9 create a faster loading time for the website.
10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask the
11 questions, Dr. Rothchild.
12 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And I
13 just wanted to make mention that the
14 unsheltered task force did have a meeting
15 yesterday morning. It was fairly brief. There
16 wasn't -- I don't really have any specific
17 updates from that.
18 I was told that the Mayor and her
19 administration along with SFD and SPD are still
20 coming up with ideas as to what is going to
21 happen with the code blue this winter in light
22 of Keystone Mission closing its doors. So I
23 want to make sure that we have a plan going
24 forward and those cold months will be here
25 before we know it and hoping that we'll have
48
1 some answers soon on that. But nothing else
2 really to report from that meeting.
3 And I know we had mentioned
4 Lackawanna Avenue and not just the wall but
5 then the paving on the street too. And another
6 Council member had reported that there were
7 construction vehicles on that street and
8 construction happening.
9 But I passed by their recently and I
10 haven't seen any changes to the paving. So I
11 wanted to get another update on that.
12 MR. VOLDENBERG: We will.
13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Great. Thank
14 you. That's it.
15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.
16 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any
17 motions or comments?
18 MR. MCANDREW: I have a couple. So
19 a resident reached out to me. And these are --
20 what I have is a couple blighted issues. So
21 there is a blighted abandoned property at 1158
22 Hampton Street.
23 The resident has told me that there
24 is huge overgrowth of knotweed. And I know,
25 you know, we passed some legislation.
49
1 Administration has been talking about, you
2 know, crack down on blight and a new procedure.
3 I just hope this property is put on the radar
4 for that, Mr. Voldenberg, if you would because
5 the resident, you know, like, every one of us
6 sees blight every day.
7 We drive by and we'll say, oh my
8 God, look at that yard, look at that. And I
9 get that. But this resident stated to me she's
10 been looking at this 15 years, not 15 seconds
11 that we might see it. So this needs to be
12 addressed. And so make sure this gets over to
13 the proper departments.
14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out,
15 sir.
16 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. And on
17 the same street, 1163-65 -- 1160 or 1165, also
18 on Hampton, it's the corner of Hampton and 12th
19 Avenue. The grass has yet to be cut this
20 summer if you could please alert code
21 enforcement.
22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
23 MR. MCANDREW: And I know that
24 there's a bunch of crosswalks that are being
25 painted and I hope they all get done. I was
50
1 reminded today that -- by someone that I
2 actually brought this up months ago, crosswalks
3 that need to be painted. I think this was sent
4 in. I hope it's on a list.
5 We don't have the list. So I
6 couldn't refer to it -- on Luzerne and Meridian
7 along with the corner of Luzerne and Railroad
8 Avenue. I know I brought these up months ago.
9 And I know that they are out there doing these,
10 so I just want to make sure these aren't missed
11 if you would remind the city.
12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up.
13 MR. MCANDREW: And lastly, I'm not
14 sure -- is it Rose Mary Kane or Rose Marie
15 Kane -- is it Miss or Mrs?
16 MS. KANE: Miss.
17 MR. MCANDREW: Miss, okay. Well,
18 thank you very much for coming here and
19 stepping up. I'm here six and a half years and
20 every year feral cats are a problem. And there
21 is -- and then we bring it up. I brought it
22 up. Dr. Rothchild brought it up.
23 We do get some answers but never a
24 solution. All right. And I know there is
25 great organizations that work -- that work with
51
1 the city, EPAA, True Friends, Friends with
2 Paws, Blue Chip, Griffin Pond. Okay, we're
3 thrilled to have them. But I've always said
4 this in the past that sometimes all of you, our
5 residents here have the best ideas.
6 So you stepping up tonight and
7 saying, hey, I'll put myself out there. Hey,
8 I'll help. So do we need a czar? I don't know
9 if that's a title. But we need a liaison
10 between these groups, help -- a collaborator
11 because the two employees at Animal Control
12 can't do that. Let's face it; do you know what
13 I mean?
14 I'm a realist. But you offering
15 your services which I think is wonderful and I
16 applaud you. But maybe this will be part of a
17 final solution that we have yet to get. Every
18 year, you know, and I know it's a problem. We
19 all know it's a problem. But maybe, you know,
20 with your efforts and coordinating or
21 collaborating with these groups, we could do a
22 better job at it because we have to. It's
23 obvious we have to. Again, thanks again. And
24 that's all I have.
25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew.
52
1 Start with our DPW --
2 MR. MCANDREW: I'm sorry, just make
3 sure administration is aware of this young
4 lady's name and, you know, what she announced
5 tonight.
6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did. I made note
7 of her contact information, sir.
8 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. Sorry.
9 Thanks.
10 MR. SMURL: Our DPW that Dr.
11 Rothchild has reported those roads, they are
12 under repair right now and I did receive an
13 inquiry about them being sealed with tar and
14 stuff. I called DPW and I was informed that
15 there is much more work over there.
16 They don't do -- when they put that
17 stuff down, that's not a complete job. So they
18 will -- it will probably be done the next day
19 because that's how it's done. So the job isn't
20 finished over there. They have a lot more to
21 do. And it will be tarred. And it will be
22 done completely.
23 But they have -- I was told there is
24 over 10 more ton of finishing or something
25 there to do. So naturally we're all concerned
53
1 about it being done. But thank you, DPW, for
2 doing that. And thank you for getting back to
3 me and letting us know what's really going on.
4 So it is being done properly.
5 The second thing is the Serrenti
6 Center. Lately I have been by there and that
7 is being cleaned up. The entire outside of it
8 we had a lot of complaints about overgrown and
9 a lot of junk in there and stuff.
10 I did see Paul O'Hora who is our
11 maintenance person for the city buildings. I
12 know he's been over there. I've seen him there
13 in the evening on his time. He has gone above
14 and beyond his job title and what he's supposed
15 to be doing.
16 But the neighbors are very happy
17 with it. It really looks great right now. All
18 of the garbage and the shrubs and overgrown
19 trees and stuff have been cut down. And he
20 continues to go over there. But it really
21 looks great.
22 But I want to thank Paul for going
23 there because, you know, I've seen him there on
24 his own time when I'm up in that area. So
25 thank you to Mr. O'Hora. The HUP test or the
54
1 nonprofits, the update, we did receive over 100
2 responses. I believe Mr. Domines picked them
3 up on Friday -- Thursday or Friday of last
4 week. He has them in hand.
5 And he is processing the first 100
6 of them. I did see him today. And we will
7 have more information during our break. But
8 I'm assuming we could put that on our website
9 as it becomes available.
10 Also, the veterans wall that I
11 introduced a couple weeks ago, it is now
12 funded. The deposit has been made. And
13 Lackawanna County has shown interest in joining
14 us in this project. So it is a great tribute
15 to our veterans.
16 And it will be. It looks like it's
17 going to be -- you have to do this over a year
18 in advance. So it looks like next October it
19 will arrive. I want to thank Mayor Cognetti,
20 Eileen Cipriani, and Lackawanna County
21 Commissioners for funding this tribute to our
22 veterans.
23 This is a great thing for our
24 veterans. And my last thing is the East
25 Mountain Stormwater Project Number Two. We're
55
1 awaiting some easements to be signed there and
2 to be returned. And I could only suggest if
3 you have questions and they are not being
4 answered, please call.
5 The engineer is available to go up
6 and speak with you about your property lines or
7 what has to be done. But if you don't move on
8 this, they just may bypass it and move onto
9 different parts of it, which I'd hate to see
10 them have to go back to other sections.
11 But everyone had received a letter,
12 but they don't have 100 percent compliance as
13 of right now. So hopefully you will look into
14 this if you are concerned about your property
15 not being flooded anymore. That is all I have,
16 Mr. Voldenberg.
17 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. No business
18 at this time.
