SMURL: Are there any comments 4 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 5 received and filed. Do any Council members 6 have any announcements at this time? 7 MR. KING: Just I, you know, it 8 might be a little bit premature, but Sunday, 9 October 12th is the Steamtown Marathon, 28th 10 Annual Steamtown Marathon. The course was 11 changed this year, which actually I think is 12 going to be better for traffic control the way 13 the runners come into the city. 14 They'll still come in Boulevard 15 Avenue and take a left up Electric Street. But 16 when they get up to the islands, they're going 17 to take a right and go directly out Capouse 18 Avenue. They'll head directly down Capouse to 19 Walnut, take a left on Walnut and a right on 20 North Washington straight in. 21 So in the past we used to go all the 22 way up Electric over to North Washington, go 23 over to Delaware and come back down. So it 24 kind of boxed in that neighborhood. So that 25 has been eliminated.  6 1 We'll ask, you know, people on that 2 particular day to just be a little patient. 3 We'll get vehicles across the course if they 4 have to come through town. If you are over in 5 the Green Ridge area, the best way is to cross 6 Green Ridge Street. 7 We'll have police there helping to 8 cross people. If you want to get around the 9 marathon downtown, the best way is to go down 10 around Lackawanna Avenue. We'll get you around 11 or I believe Spruce -- or Biden Street will be 12 open one lane during the race. So that's about 13 it. 14 And I should also mention we do have 15 runners coming from about 36 different states 16 and a couple countries, so pretty exciting, 17 good for the area and St. Joseph's Center. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 19 Anyone else? 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I just wanted 21 to say Shanah Tovah. So happy Rosh Hashanah to 22 those who celebrate. That's the Jewish New 23 Year. It's taking place today and tomorrow. 24 And that's all that I have. Thank you. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.  7 1 Rothchild. Anyone else? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 3 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 4 MR. SMURL: First, Norma Jeffries, 5 you're good from before? All right. Thank 6 you, Norma. Joan Hodowanitz. 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 8 Scranton. First, I want to mention that every 9 morning when I go to mass, I see these 10 gentlemen with humongous garbage cans walking 11 up and down the sidewalks picking up litter. 12 Now, I don't know whether that they 13 are city employees or for a nonprofit or 14 whatever, but it is sure nice to see someone 15 trying to clean up the litter. So whoever is 16 doing it, thank you. Has anybody applied to 17 become the Director of DPW yet? 18 MR. SMURL: No, no, not that I know 19 of. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okey-dokey. And 21 we're still working on their Collective 22 Bargaining Agreement? 23 MR. SMURL: Yeah, I know they do 24 have a meeting scheduled. 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Now, the  8 1 2024 audit, you mentioned before that it should 2 be in by September 30th. Is there any hope of 3 seeing a copy of it in Third Order for next 4 week's meeting which will be September 30th? 5 MR. SMURL: They said our auditors 6 are in the final review of it. So it should be 7 done. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okey-dokey. I'm 9 looking forward to it. And now let's talk 10 about Item 7-B. This is the ordinance 11 authorizing entry level employment in the 12 police department without competition under 13 certain conditions affecting public safety. 14 I still see red flags on this. 15 Another Scranton taxpayer contacted me and very 16 kindly sent me a copy of Chapter 144 of the 17 state's law on civil service and pointed out 18 Section 14407, tenure and temporary 19 appointments. 20 Temporary appointments, in case of 21 riot or emergency, temporary appointments to 22 positions in the civil service may be made 23 without complying with the provisions of this 24 chapter. I don't understand what might be in 25 the Home Rule Charter that would supersede a  9 1 thing like this. 2 Certainly we're not having a riot or 3 an emergency situation that I've heard about. 4 But I have several questions. I asked last 5 week whether the police union was contacted for 6 input on this and I really didn't get a 7 positive answer. 8 I talked to some people when I was 9 at the Police Pension Commission last week and 10 asked them if they were aware of this 11 legislation. And they said they hadn't heard 12 of it. But it raises certain questions. If 13 you look at the union contract when police are 14 normally hired, they're automatically entered 15 into the union. 16 And they start paying into pension 17 and you get pension eligibility, so on and so 18 forth. Will these hires be entered into the 19 union? 20 MR. SMURL: Joan, the way it was 21 explained to me, it still goes to the Civil 22 Service Commission. They supply the list. The 23 Chief -- 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: That doesn't answer 25 my question. Will they be --  10 1 MR. SMURL: Everything else is 2 supposed to be in the same order. The only 3 difference would be if they did possess Act 120 4 or something equivalent to it, they would 5 accept that instead of making them go back to 6 school and do it over again. 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: So they have to 8 become members of the union. They will be 9 eligible for pensions including disability 10 pension. They would be eligible for Heart and 11 Lung benefits, eligible for promotion exams. 12 How do they determine seniority with 13 those who were hired under competition? 14 MR. SMURL: Well, that's when you 15 start -- 16 MR. KING: They go to the bottom of 17 the list. 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: Bottom of the list? 19 MR. KING: Yep. 20 MR. SMURL: Yeah, day one is day 21 one. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. But I really 23 think that there are a lot of questions. And I 24 don't -- if you had -- if the administration 25 has not consulted with the union for input, I  11 1 think you should table this and bring the union 2 in, bring the Police Chief in, bring the head 3 of Civil Service in. 4 If their solicitors are available, 5 bring them in. You should not let this go 6 forward and then down the road have issues 7 because the last thing this city needs is more 8 union controversy and, God forbid, more 9 lawsuits. 10 You know, we should -- if we're 11 going to hire these people, they should know 12 what their protections are and what their 13 requirements are. And the union should be 14 aware. This should not be dropped on them 15 without their involvement. I know you're going 16 to pass it, but I recommend you table it. 17 Thank you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Ron 19 Ellman. Ron? 20 MR. ELLMAN: I'm sorry. I wasn't 21 paying attention. This shirt isn't of any 22 political significance. I'm not endorsing the 23 Mayor or anyone in case some of you wondered. 24 People, you know, undoubtedly when I 25 talk up here, I'm not reaching the right  12 1 people, the ones who pay for everything and I 2 guess you call them the quiet ones. Yesterday 3 they auctioned off 150 properties here and in 4 the county. 5 I've talked to a couple people over 6 the years that lost their property like that. 7 It's so heartbreaking. I realize that 8 probably most of them were financial problems. 9 One lady I talked to years ago, Catholic 10 services loaded her house up. The people 11 destroyed it. 12 They wouldn't help her one iota. 13 She didn't have money to do the repairs. She 14 lost it, lived right across the street. I 15 don't know. She's probably not there anymore. 16 This was probably 10 years ago. 17 We have a downtown just overrun by 18 wealthy developers and property owners, most of 19 them already have tremendous tax breaks. Some 20 of them just on these historic buildings next 21 to no tax. And we're looking at a women that 22 wants to sell properties like the hospital to 23 non-profits. 24 Almost every street you go down got 25 some kind of an abandoned house we've lost the  13 1 tax base on. And on my block, I have three 2 houses on one block. The lady died in one 3 house. The next two houses are vacant. The 4 house across the street the man was 5 constructing it and ran out of money. 6 And -- but that's four of them. But 7 three are the one on my side of the street that 8 are just -- they don't cut the grass or 9 nothing. They did recently. I guess -- I 10 guess Oleski's office got on them. 11 These 150 properties, there's people 12 that I talked to that are so fearful of -- I 13 told them -- here about the deferred tax plan. 14 I don't know if anyone took advantage of it. 15 But so many people are just fearful of coming 16 up here or talking about this -- this 17 administration is just a vile, relentless, 18 vindictive one. 19 Maybe they're fearful of having 20 their car towed while they're drinking coffee 21 or even worse, getting some tickets for 22 uncovered garbage cans. I don't know. 23 Hopefully maybe one of these tax 24 cheats will open up a casino downtown so we'll 25 have a cheap buffet like Vegas. Thank you.  14 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Ron. That is 2 all for our sign-in sheet. Would anyone else 3 like to address Council? 4 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council, 5 Tom Coyne, Minooka. I see that the Mayor got 6 weekend four of advertisements from the Times 7 for the Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project. 8 When we had the last walkability, it was 9 underfunded. 10 And we were assured it would come 11 back to us review -- it would come back to us 12 for review of the plans. I guess we'll get the 13 plans and have it bid out and then we'll get 14 told what it will be before we could actually 15 have an input on it. 16 The Mayor constantly said the 17 citizens of Scranton, your input is neither 18 wanted nor desired. If we put a big wall 19 around the bike trail, we could keep out all 20 other parts of the city that we have chosen 21 with all of the funds that we have gathered not 22 to fund. 23 That brings me back to the Recovery 24 Act under this administration. They allocated 25 the funds by supposed stakeholders and meetings  15 1 that they said on their YouTube channel when 2 they released it. I did a public right to know 3 and found out that the stakeholders and 4 meetings that they said that they had never 5 happened because I asked for names of people 6 who were at those meetings. 7 And there were no names. There were 8 no stakeholders. There were no meetings. But 9 the YouTube Channel that the Mayor put out said 10 we gathered all of this information. I guess 11 all the stakeholders were probably internal to 12 the government deciding in the Mayor's office 13 what they wanted because the right to know 14 certainly said that stakeholders outside never 15 were brought in for input. 16 Ignore the public, that's what we 17 had to deal with. We've had the Times who 18 produces one-sided supportive stories for the 19 Mayor. It does not challenge the fact. It 20 does not show the timelines. But I guess like 21 Jimmy -- the Kimmel issue, it does not want to 22 risk rocking the local boat with a government 23 that takes out ads. 24 This is stilly because there is no 25 other publication in the city that the city  16 1 could actually use as part of their operations. 2 So we have four weekends of the Mayor's 3 projects, not a peep out of public concerns. 4 We now have 5-B, repealing outdated 5 provisions regarding the city's pavings of 6 streets. Can anyone on Council tell us what is 7 outdated in there, what we were removing at 8 all, what is replacing because there is nothing 9 in the body that actually shows us what's being 10 struck and what's being replaced. 11 Every other legislative body when 12 something like this comes up or something is 13 struck, you get the legislation that is being 14 removed with lines through it and anything 15 that's added in it is actually written in it 16 that's going to be applied. 17 Are we removing all pavement 18 guidelines and now it's pavement is whatever 19 the city says it is because all I see in here 20 is striking all the rules. I see nothing on 21 adding. 22 MR. KING: We discussed that during 23 caucus. And we're going to be requesting that 24 exact detail. 25 MR. COYNE: Thank you. Maybe it  17 1 should have been presented in this before it 2 came to the body because that detail is not 3 something that should be forgotten. It should 4 have been here before this was even presented 5 up here. 6 5-F, the United Neighborhood Centers 7 of Northeastern Pennsylvania, $150,000 towards 8 an exterior upgrade projects. For years we've 9 asked about Code Red when the fires were 10 burning in Canada and people were told to stay 11 inside. Recovery funds went to Keystone. We 12 even paid for a coordinator for the position 13 for the charities. 14 We have a secret unsheltered task 15 force who meets behind closed doors and as of 16 now has talked and done nothing. Maybe the 17 Mayor will take the lead from Fox News who said 18 maybe with the homeless we should jail them or 19 euthanize them. 20 We have done nothing so far but 21 that's okay as long as we don't say cold snap 22 before the elections. We're looking at snow. 23 We're looking at winter. We're looking at 24 $150,000 to fix the outside of the building and 25 we have done nothing for the homeless. This is  18 1 the City of Scranton's humanity. Shameful. 2 Good night. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 4 MR. MANCINI: Relax, you're not 5 getting served. Good evening, Council. Mike 6 Mancini, Scranton. Tonight I'll speak about 7 our road's infrastructure, blight and our 8 amazing DPW employees. Mr. Schuster as the 9 Chair for Public Works, I would strongly 10 suggest that you hear me twice because I will 11 only say this once. 12 It's not the speaker before you. 13 It's the words they choose. My words get 14 ignored. You also ignore the same concerns of 15 many of other residents. As of today, we've 16 only heard whispers. You are in an election 17 year. Let us know why you deserve that very 18 same chair once again. 19 Let us get started, shall we? Our 20 roads are in the worst shape of my lifetime. 21 Prior Council members ensured that our 22 ordinances were followed. Today we're changing 23 5-B, an ordinance for paving. Anything could 24 be changed. But if not enforced, those words 25 mean nothing. And to whose those who sat in  19 1 the chairs previously, it all just gets 2 ignored. 3 You, the rest of Council, along with 4 the Mayor, her Duck Dynasty, not only 5 disrespect those who have taken those seats but 6 also the good people of Scranton. Our 7 crosswalks are finally being painted, a year 8 and a half after I mentioned it but with the 9 wrong paint. 10 Did you address that? Do you think 11 DPW should have taken that responsibility? 12 They've done so every year previously. How do 13 you feel about the roads? Do you think that PA 14 Water should become more responsible for the 15 pave cuts and the city enforcing the 16 ordinances. 17 Do you think PA Water needs to come 18 before caucus very soon to answer for their 19 blatant disrespect towards the citizens of our 20 city or Council and you personally. Do you 21 think the city residents deserve a pave cut 22 inspector? 23 The company that currently inspects 24 our roads is not from Scranton. They don't 25 know our roads. Unfortunately because of the  20 1 current climate the Mayor has created, we have 2 the most blighted neighborhoods ever. 3 Do you believe that DPW should be 4 knocking these properties down? Blight is 5 currently being handled as a clerical function 6 instead of instead of DPW. Do you think it 7 should be taken back by DPW? 8 We've all witnessed neighborhoods 9 going downhill for the past five years. Do you 10 believe that blighted neighborhoods also cause 11 crime? We witnessed tractor-trailer striking 12 lower railroad bridges. There was another one 13 today. 14 They are close to over 100 years 15 old. Do you think an engineer should inspect 16 these bridges and ask for replacement and 17 raising the height requirements? Do you think 18 the city would be better served with an inhouse 19 engineer? 20 How many times in the past did the 21 city ask for an outside company to cut trees 22 down? Now everything is being outsourced. 23 We've outsourced so many things like pave cut 24 inspectors, crosswalks, knocking down blighted 25 properties, blight crew. It's part of the  21 1 clerical union. 2 I'm sure we both agree Rubicon is 3 bogus. We had a refuse truck driver for 41 4 years. He knew where to go. A word to the 5 wise, anything with con in it is not good. 6 Nobody does it better than our 91 unionized DPW 7 employees who continue to work without a 8 contract. 9 They've been through so much. The 10 turnover at the top, we're currently on the 11 seventh acting director. Instead of an Eddie 12 Pisano, they ended up with the likes of Scott 13 Gassenmeyer. They deserve better without 14 insulting their intellectual abilities. 15 Thank you to our amazing DPW 16 employees. Change is coming. To the Mayor, 17 Scranton here, your city is corrupt, really? 18 You're not even from here. On Saturday your 19 Oregon Ducks face Penn State. Who are you 20 picking? 21 We all know when it comes to City of 22 Scranton, you chose yourself with our city as 23 your backup plan. Good luck Saturday, duck 24 duck Paige. Good evening, Council. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?  22 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 2 MOTIONS. 3 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 4 any motions or comments? 5 MR. KING: Not at this time, just 6 what was brought up before, I guess it will 7 come up on the motion. We want to get some of 8 that detail that was brought up we discussed in 9 caucus Mr. Coyne brought up tonight. Thank 10 you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 12 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 13 comments? 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few. I 15 got some answers back. I did pose to the 16 administration about updating residents in our 17 capital budget. There was over 5 million 18 dollars going towards housing buyouts in North 19 Scranton and Keyser Valley. 20 And I did ask that the residents be 21 informed of this. I did speak to several of 22 those residents who weren't informed of it. 23 But I reached out to administration to see when 24 that had last been done. 25 And the answer that I got was that  23 1 all members of the buyout program were updated 2 in April when the BRIC grant was cancelled. A 3 meeting for impacted residents both in Keyser 4 Valley and the Keyser Valley stormwater 5 projects and residents for the buyout program 6 was held on May 15th, 2025, where residents 7 were invited and encouraged to attend. 8 Those residents that I spoke to did 9 not attend this meeting and were unaware of it. 10 Any questions on the project impacting in 11 regard to the buyout program, residents were 12 made aware by the city's application to the 13 hazard mitigation grant program -- and that is 14 where that funding in our capital budget is 15 coming from -- for funding and appraisals that 16 would be completed. 17 We respond to all inquiries from 18 residents as they are received. So at this 19 point in time it seems there was a meeting on 20 May 15th. But the city administration has not 21 reached out to those neighbors. So if we could 22 just contact the city administration and just 23 please ask that they update these residents 24 that are affected. 25 There's 20 properties in total. It  24 1 doesn't seem like a lot to be -- to be updated 2 on those projects. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: I inquired about 5 Ferdinand Street. It was quite some time ago. 6 We spoke about Ferdinand Street. At the time I 7 was told that it was going out to bid. The 8 answer that I got about 1800 block of Ferdinand 9 Street was that the city completed the FEMA 10 work on Ferdinand Street that was out to bid 11 earlier this year which included debris removal 12 and road stabilization. 13 However, the paving work for the 14 street is going to be added to the 2026 paving 15 list. So those on Ferdinand Street, that will 16 be occurring in 2026 according to the answer I 17 got this week. 18 I want to thank DPW for Crisp Ave. 19 Last week the department did a great job on 20 Crisp Ave., replacing the bar ditch on the side 21 of the road and they replaced it with stone. 22 They cleaned out that ditch that had been 23 filled with sediment for several years now. 24 And it was coming across the 25 property into several resident's yards which  25 1 inevitably goes into the Frink Street -- the 2 creek on Frink Street. So the residents came 3 to me with their concerns. 4 I had the opportunity to see the 5 site during the storm. Those improvements were 6 made last week and the residents did call to 7 express their thanks to the department that 8 completed that project. 9 For the last two weeks since the SRA 10 director was in, I had asked at that point in 11 time that any kind of budgets or audited 12 financial statements be sent over to Council. 13 Did we receive any of those yet from the SRA? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did. And I sent 15 them to Council. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 17 very much. We got an answer on South Summer 18 Street which I did relay. And I believe that's 19 all for tonight, Mr. Smurl. Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 21 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 22 comments? 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, thank you. I 24 have a few. First off, I also wanted to point 25 out on 5-B I brought it up in caucus that we  26 1 didn't have any specifics or information on 2 what was changing with the ordinance. 3 So I was disappointed to see that. 4 And we can introduce tonight but we obviously 5 need that information before considering this 6 legislation further. 7 Regarding the unsheltered task 8 force, I know there's a meeting set for 9 mid-October that I plan on attending. But I'd 10 like to find out in advance of that meeting 11 because of the urgency of making sure that we 12 have a Code Blue Shelter in place for once it 13 starts getting cold out, if we could please ask 14 the administration what their current plans are 15 on the Code Blue Shelter and if there are any 16 updates on it. Thank you. 17 And another thing that I wanted to 18 mention over the weekend, we were at Connell 19 Park. I think each weekend we're visiting a 20 different park. I didn't mean for it to be 21 that away. We were just going around city 22 parks and just noticing things as we do that. 23 And over at Connell while we were 24 there, someone did come back by from the city 25 to empty the trash cans out. But then I  27 1 noticed a little while later, there was a woman 2 walking around with gloves and garbage bags and 3 she was just a resident who was going around 4 and picking up litter and trash from the park. 5 So I thought, well, why -- why 6 should she have to be doing that? I mean, they 7 came to empty the garbage cans, but they should 8 also be cleaning up the park and taking litter 9 from it. So I'd like to make sure that that's 10 happening on a regular basis from our Parks and 11 Rec Department with all of our parks. 12 But I want to make sure that that is 13 happening at Connell too. I mean, it's great 14 that she was taking it upon herself to do that. 15 But residents shouldn't have to be doing that 16 when we have our Parks and Rec Department. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send that out. 18 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 19 And then one thing I received a response on 20 from last week someone who was asking about the 21 rear of 621 Alder Street -- and it's an 22 overgrown vacant property that's been in bad 23 shape for quite a while. 24 And the response I received in 25 reference to it is that the redevelopment and  28 1 blight coordinator visited it this week and the 2 overall viability of the home is unknown due to 3 the overgrown lot surrounding it. 4 So it must be pretty -- pretty 5 severe -- will seek a formal review from Barry 6 Isett for consideration for future demolition. 7 So that is all that I have currently on that 8 property. But we'll stay on top of it to see 9 what Barry Isett has with their review. That's 10 all. Thank you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 12 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 13 motions or comments? 14 MR. MCANDREW: I have a few 15 responses from inquiries that I sent on the 9th 16 and 16th and a couple other things. So first 17 off, I asked does DPW embrace a program for 18 elderly property owners that can't afford tree 19 removal? 20 The assistance from our city DPW to 21 remove trees from their property has been much 22 interest or activity because I remember talking 23 about this but never seeing it implemented 24 because I got people reaching out to me that 25 maybe their neighbors are having problems and  29 1 can't afford tree removal. 2 But these trees they're, you know, 3 encroaching or growing over the neighbors' 4 yards. So what I was told is, yes, the City of 5 Scranton does embrace such a program. The 6 Office of Community and Economic Development 7 dangerous tree removal assistance program is 8 specifically designed to help low to moderate 9 homeowners, including elderly residents who 10 can't afford the high cost of removing 11 dangerous trees or branches from their 12 property. 13 So I asked, you know, I wasn't 14 really aware of this. I don't think the public 15 was. I think, you know, and I said how does 16 this work? And so what I received was, to 17 qualify, residents must live in Scranton, 18 obviously, own and occupy their home, carry and 19 share proof of insurance, have a tree or branch 20 marked as dangerous by city code enforcement, 21 the blight coordinator, the city forester and 22 meet household income requirements. 23 The program provides assistance at 24 no cost to the homeowner ensuring the safety 25 concern. So this sounds like a great program,  30 1 but I don't think anybody was really aware of 2 it outside of me just seeing a couple minutes 3 before in the spring. 4 But it says since launching, the 5 city has received an overwhelming response 6 quickly reaching the budgeted limit for 7 available assistance for the 2025 fiscal year. 8 This strong interest demonstrates both the need 9 and the effectiveness of this program, 10 particularly for the elderly and low income 11 homeowners would otherwise struggle. 12 Like I said, this sounds like a 13 great program. So can we get a little more 14 information on it? Okay, so the funds are 15 exhausting. I get it. But so maybe next year 16 this could be more visible to the public either 17 on the website -- obviously it's on the 18 website; but I was unable to find it or 19 through, you know, social media posts. 20 We seem to see a lot of other stuff. 21 I don't remember seeing this at all. So if we 22 could get a little bit more information and see 23 how this would be marketed next year for the 24 people that really need it. All right? 25 Also, there is two inquiries here  31 1 that actually Mr. Schuster asked but somehow -- 2 there may be a little confusion here. Anyway, 3 regarding tree cutting position with the city 4 DPW, is this position currently filled? It 5 says Mr. McAndrew indicated that the employee 6 may have bid out of his position. 7 So we asked if there is possibly two 8 different jobs descriptions that are present 9 for the position. If so, have they been 10 mutually agreed upon or if there has been some 11 update that occurred unilaterally when it comes 12 to the tree cutting position. 13 So the response we received is, the 14 tree trimmer position has not been filled. The 15 city is working with union leadership to 16 address this position. 17 Also I asked, you know, to reach out 18 to City Engineer regarding the remaining 19 crossing walk at Lincoln Jackson Academy 20 because this was a big one last year I brought 21 up a couple of times. 22 You know, and then -- in lieu of all 23 the other ones that were done. So I remember 24 there was a pause. So the response I got, the 25 city has prioritized this crosswalk. I mean,  32 1 my grades are going to be due in a couple weeks 2 for the first quarter, so this should be done 3 above, you know, instead of all the other ones 4 that are everywhere you turn around. This is 5 more of a safety issue for our students. 6 What else do I have here? So I 7 asked -- this was on -- this was on the 9th. 8 Is the law enforcement team still consisting of 9 the SPD, Lackawanna Sheriffs and District 10 Attorneys Office continuing to address the drug 11 opiate crisis in our area from the joint task 12 force standpoint. 13 And what I got back was, the 14 Scranton Police Department remains steadfast in 15 all of criminal investigations to include 16 narcotic and opiate enforcement. Our 17 partnerships with law enforcement agencies 18 remain stronger than they have ever been and 19 contribute to our ability to solve crime. 20 We remain committed to addressing 21 the drug opiate crisis and any crime associated 22 with it. And, you know, it's evident that a 23 couple public service announcements that were 24 posted by the District Attorneys Office that 25 this is really happening and they're doing a  33 1 fantastic job. So I'm happy to hear that. 2 I also asked if they would -- the 3 SPD would revisit the large increase in ATV 4 activity, electronic bikes, you know, everybody 5 knows it's a problem. 6 And the response I -- and if there's 7 a new strategy to address this because what 8 we're doing really isn't working because I 9 remember they spoke of triangulation method to 10 track ATV and other offenders versus the danger 11 to public of chasing these operators on the 12 city streets. 13 So any nonregistered, noninsured 14 vehicle on our roadway is illegal. We know 15 that and poses a safety factor. Of course we 16 know that. Again, like I said the past two 17 weeks, I was driving home from work yesterday 18 and one of them electric bikes are flying in 19 and out of Main Avenue on the way home. 20 It's dangerous. Someone's going to 21 get killed and no helmet. And these are 22 electric bikes. It's crazy. So the police 23 department is committed to traffic safety and 24 do enforce such violations. 25 Anyone aware of the identity of  34 1 persons committing traffic violations using 2 these devices should forward to the SPD for 3 followup. So what they're saying and, you 4 know, it kind of make sense if we're not going 5 to chase them because of safety issues, you 6 know, maybe when we see them we should try to 7 identify them and pass this onto the police 8 department. 9 I also asked let's revisit vehicles 10 parking on sidewalks along Harrison Avenue 11 knowing that many of the properties have 12 garages and off-street parking but they 13 continue to park in the street. And what we 14 were told is, it has been received and it was 15 added to the SPD's enforcement schedule. So 16 they'll take a look at it. 17 So I also mentioned in caucus that 18 last weekend, you know, my understanding there 19 was a rash of break-ins and home invasions. I 20 know of one that actually happened a couple 21 doors up from my house which was horrific and 22 crazy what happened. 23 I spoke to the neighbor and she 24 was -- they were both shaken up. And I was 25 even shaken up. The problem I have is, you  35 1 know, what we have crime in the city whether 2 you like it or not. 3 I mean, of course we don't like it. 4 But this information should have got out from 5 our administration to make everyone aware that 6 this is going on, not just my neighborhood. Do 7 I care about the -- I care about the whole 8 city. The public should be informed when this 9 type of behavior or criminal activity happens 10 so we're on guard. 11 Instead of just -- I don't know what 12 happened. But when situations like this 13 happen, everybody needs to be informed. We all 14 care about each other in the city. We all want 15 to protect each other in the city. But if this 16 information doesn't get out there and then, you 17 know, shame on us or shame on administration. 18 All I could say is, guess what, 19 please lock your doors, lock your windows 20 because this is -- this is what happens. And 21 like I said, I don't know if, in fact, these 22 situations happened on the weekend in other 23 parts of the city. I can't verify. 24 But I can verify the one that was a 25 couple doors from my house and it's horrible.  36 1 So I think the administration needs to get 2 better at letting the public be aware when 3 these incidents happen just to be on guard. 4 I'm kind of disappointed with that. 5 Also, it's no secret that last week 6 there was an incident in West Scranton High 7 School that forced a lockdown of a person that 8 was appointed to be on the Human Relations 9 Committee, okay. 10 And for clarity's sake, the Mayor 11 for the most part appoints everyone on the 12 boards and authorities except for zoning that 13 we do that Council is responsible for. All 14 right. So do we vet them? No. That's the 15 responsibility of the administration. 16 What actually happens when they come 17 down to us, it's a formality vote. We have no 18 authority to appointing to any other boards or 19 authority except for zoning. All right? So 20 after seeing that, you know, there was -- it 21 was reported to the paper that this person, you 22 know, pretty much abandoned his position in 23 August. 24 We were unaware of that because we 25 didn't appoint him per se and that he had not  37 1 participated in the past two years within that 2 appointment. So that should be on the 3 administration. That should have been taken 4 care of prior to some of these incidents. 5 This person should have been 6 removed. So I just want to make the public 7 aware -- so, I guess, it's another thing that I 8 didn't think we should have to, but maybe 9 anymore when these appointments come down, we 10 might have to take a little extra time and do 11 some vetting that's not being done obviously or 12 not being done enough. 13 And then, you know, part of that 14 article said, you know, we'll try to replace 15 this person. And then, of course, it will be 16 up to Council to -- what do you mean up to us? 17 It's a formality vote. If it was up to us, I'd 18 like to make a motion right now to have this 19 person removed from that authority. I just 20 made a motion. 21 MR. SMURL: All right. So can I 22 respond just to -- 23 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, go ahead. 24 MR. SMURL: That board -- that 25 particular board, to have someone removed, the  38 1 Mayor cannot actually fire someone from that 2 board or remove them. 3 The board itself actually -- its 4 bylaws has to request a person to be removed 5 from that board. So -- and I know they haven't 6 been there in two years. I know that also. 7 But also, there are some legal issues to fire 8 somebody that has -- had some -- a few issues 9 right now. 10 As, you know, is that why we're 11 firing them or removing them from the job? 12 It's not -- I know it's not a paid position. 13 But it would still be -- make a bit liable. 14 MR. MCANDREW: Well, how would I 15 make a motion that that committee starts the 16 process? 17 MR. SMURL: They did say they 18 started it. 19 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. 20 MR. SMURL: Yes, they did tell me 21 that. 22 MR. MCANDREW: Well, like, again, 23 we're not aware. I wasn't aware that this 24 person didn't participate in two years. I 25 wasn't aware that as of August he abandoned his  39 1 position. But I am aware what was reported in 2 the paper that, oh, you know, for the most part 3 it comes down to Council. Well, I guess it 4 doesn't. All right. What else do I have -- 5 oh, another thing too -- 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Before we move on 7 from that though, are we aware that the 8 commission started that process? 9 MR. SMURL: Yes. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: We've been told that. 11 Okay, because I would -- 12 MR. SMURL: The administration 13 requested they start it and they agreed. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. So we 15 have that update. So, I mean, I would be in 16 favor of making that motion that the board make 17 the recommendation. So let's see what we get 18 next week. Can we just get an update -- ask 19 for an update on that, Mr. Voldenberg? 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 22 MR. MCANDREW: Also, since, you 23 know, we heard -- all this was we heard 24 secondhand. Is there any truth that the Parks 25 and Rec Director has resigned? I hear it  40 1 everywhere I go. Have we heard it as a body? 2 MR. SMURL: I believe he has. I was 3 told by a city employee at a meeting that he 4 had resigned and his last day will be this 5 Friday. 6 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. Thanks. 7 That's all I have thanks. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 9 I have -- your question for the people 10 downtown, there is actually four employees. It 11 was funded by Senator Marty Flynn, the City of 12 Scranton, and Lackawanna County. We all put 13 money in. 14 And what it does, it funds these 15 four positions. And their job would be for 16 blight, for garbage. Any type of maintenance 17 downtown, replanting gardens, weeds, buildings 18 that are not being used or abandon or, you 19 know, they don't cut their grass or like you 20 said, they blow all of their garbage out to the 21 street, this is their job -- well, is to do all 22 of this. 23 And it's funded naturally by the 24 three bodies. I was told if -- there's 25 something that you see or whatever, this  41 1 program is directed. It seems pretty much by 2 Scranton Tomorrow because of they're in town 3 all the time and they deal with everyone. 4 So if somebody doesn't put their 5 garbage out the back or not using a dumpster, 6 these guys will go and clean all of that stuff 7 up. But it is -- I know it's for a minimum of 8 one year. But it may be a few years we're 9 going to have them for. 10 And the county did give them an 11 office in the garage in the rear of the county 12 building. So they have a place to go and 13 that's been their job for the past -- I believe 14 it's only two weeks now that they're out. But 15 you could see a difference downtown already. 16 So and that's what they were doing. 17 Also, I received two days ago the 18 audit for liquid fuels tax fund from January 19 1st, 2023 until December 31st of 2024. This 20 should be -- if it is not already available on 21 the city's website. So anybody would like to 22 see that audit, it should be available shortly. 23 That's all, Mr. Voldenberg. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR 25 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - REPEALING  42 1 OUTDATED PROVISIONS REGARDING THE CITY'S PAVING 2 OF STREETS. 3 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 4 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced 5 into its proper committee. 6 MR. KING: So moved. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Second. 8 MR. SMURL: On the question? 9 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I 10 believe everyone up here on Council is in favor 11 of getting what those changes would be. We 12 discussed them in caucus and we'll be awaiting 13 that for next week. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 15 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President, I 16 have already emailed Attorney Eskra asking for 17 what changes are going to be made and the 18 reasons that it is necessary. 19 MR. SMURL: Great. Thank you. 20 Anyone else? All those in favor of 21 introduction signify by saying aye. 22 MR. KING: Aye. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 25 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.  43 1 MR. SMURL: Aye.

FOR 15 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE 16 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO 17 EXECUTE AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH 18 MULTISCAPE, INC. TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION 19 SERVICES FOR THE LACKAWANNA AVENUE STREETSCAPE 20 PROJECT. 21 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 22 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced 23 into its proper committee. 24 MR. MCANDREW: So moved. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.  45 1 MR. SMURL: On the question? 2 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, this 3 legislation includes $18,600 for the removal of 4 streetlights. Can we just verify that this is 5 streetlights and not traffic lights? 6 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I did verify that 7 today. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 9 you. 10 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, on the 11 question, I was concerned because when I saw 12 this legislation, I saw that eight lights were 13 going to be removed. And, you know, there's 14 been a lot of back and forth with this 15 walkability study. 16 And for the past two weeks I asked 17 and I'm going back here to the September 9th 18 meeting if the administration has a timeframe 19 on when legislation related to walkability 20 study traffic light removal would stop light 21 replacement may be expected. 22 The answer I got was technical 23 specifications for this legislation are 24 currently being completed by the project 25 engineers. Once completed, it will be sent to  46 1 Council. So when I quickly look at this 2 legislation and I went through it and the bid 3 that was awarded, it wasn't clear as to what 4 type of lights. But it said streetlights are 5 being removed. 6 I wish administration -- because 7 this is on my radar and a lot of -- a lot of 8 people in the community, especially received 9 e-mails from the Blind Association concerned 10 about this, which I am also concerned, from 11 Centers for Independent Living, their concerns 12 with replacing lights with stop signs. 13 And so I too reached out to our 14 solicitor and said, okay, let's get some 15 clarification because it wasn't clear about 16 what lights are being removed. So my 17 understanding is, this is only a piece of that 18 whole project and that, you know, it's probably 19 going to come here, another piece of 20 legislation removing the streetlights, which 21 I'm not in favor for. 22 And I'll be prepared when that 23 comes. But for clarity sake, I reached out to 24 our Solicitor and thank you for clarifying 25 that. That is all I have on the question.  47 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 2 All those in favor of introduction signify by 3 saying aye. 4 MR. KING: Aye. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 7 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 8 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 9 have it and so moved. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-F. FOR 11 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE 12 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO 13 EXECUTE AND SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION ON 14 BEHALF OF THE UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS OF 15 NEPA ("UNC") TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF 16 PENNSYLVANIA ACTING THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH 17 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR A LOCAL SHARE ACCOUNT 18 (MONROE) GRANT, PURSUANT TO THE PA RACEHORSE 19 DEVELOPMENT AND GAMING ACT FOR UP TO 20 $150,000.00 TO BE USED TOWARDS AN EXTERIOR 21 UPGRADES PROJECT. 22 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 23 entertain a motion that Item 5-F be introduced 24 into its proper committee. 25 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.  48 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 2 MR. SMURL: On the question? All 3 those in favor of introduction signify by 4 saying aye. 5 MR. KING: Aye. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 8 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 9 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 10 have it and so moved. 11 DR. ROTHCHILD: I make a motion to 12 suspend the rules and move Item 5-F to Seventh 13 Order for a final vote. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Second. 15 MR. MCANDREW: Second. 16 MR. SMURL: There's a motion on the 17 floor and a second to suspend the rules and 18 move Item 5-F to Seventh Order for a final 19 vote. On the question? 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, on the 21 question, this piece of legislation as well as 22 the next one, 5-G, we were requested to move 23 both of those to Seventh Order tonight because 24 of the grant deadlines. And we need to pass 25 them before the end of the month.  49 1 And so we've noticed this trend in 2 the past with some grants. And I don't -- I 3 feel like the administration might not have an 4 early enough deadline for entities to submit 5 these grant applications to the city and then 6 for them to come to Council. 7 I'm not saying, you know, it's on 8 the fault of the city; but I'd like to see them 9 provide a bit more of a buffer time to these 10 organizations because I get that, you know, 11 maybe some of these later submissions, they 12 still wanted to accept because they're worthy 13 causes and worthy projects that we'd like to be 14 able to help them out. 15 But then it does put the Council in 16 a difficult situation with having to move them 17 to Seventh Order within the same meeting. So 18 if we could please make that request of the 19 administration. And I know in our caucus, 20 Solicitor Gilbride also did say he would 21 discuss this issue with legal. That's all I 22 have that on the question. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 24 Rothchild. Anyone else on the question? All 25 those in favor signify by saying aye.  50 1 MR. KING: Aye. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 4 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 5 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 6 have it and so moved. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-G.

FOR 24 CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMITTEE ON RULES - FOR 25 ADOPTION - FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 94, 2025 -  52 1 AMENDING CHAPTER 379 OF CITY CODE ("SECONDHAND 2 GOODS AND DEALERS") TO EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZE 3 REQUIRING ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION 4 AND TO UPDATE OTHER LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT 5 PROVISIONS. 6 MR. SMURL: As Chairperson for the 7 Committee on Rules, I recommend final passage 8 of Item 7-A. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Second. 10 MR. SMURL: On the question? Roll 11 call, please. 12 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King. 13 MR. KING: Yes. 14 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 16 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 18 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew. 19 MR. MCANDREW: Yes. 20 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl. 21 MR. SMURL: Yes. I hereby declare 22 Item 7-A legally and lawfully adopted. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: 7-B. FOR 24 CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC 25 SAFETY - FOR ADOPTION - FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO.  53 1 95, 2025 - AUTHORIZING ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT 2 IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT COMPETITION 3 UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AFFECTING PUBLIC 4 SAFETY. 5 MR. SMURL: What is the 6 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 7 Committee on Public Safety? 8 MR. MCANDREW: As Chairperson for 9 the Committee on Public Safety, I recommend 10 final passage of Item 7-B. 11 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 12 MR. SMURL: On the question? 13 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, so I 14 did -- I saved this answer for on the question 15 with this specific item. I did ask last week 16 or the week before about the Civil Service 17 Commission in September and if the 18 administration had any information from that 19 solicitor or board to show their opinions in 20 favor of this legislation. 21 So the answer I did get back was 22 that the commission did meet in September, but 23 it was proposed to them at the meeting before. 24 So it would have been the August Civil Service 25 Commission's meeting. It does say that the  54 1 Chief and the Law Department have been in close 2 communications with the commission's solicitor 3 who is prepared to assist the commission in 4 implementing this legislation. 5 And the Police CBA does not -- it 6 doesn't cover anything other than the fact that 7 the Civil Service Commission does have to 8 certify this list. I would like to make a 9 motion to table Item 7-B until we could just 10 get the opinion from the Civil Service 11 Commission Solicitor who in this answer it does 12 say that they are prepared to assist with this 13 legislation. 14 So if we could just get that opinion 15 from the commission, I think it would -- would 16 help to ensure that we're doing this properly. 17 So I'd like to make that motion to table until 18 we reach out to the commission to get their 19 official opinion. 20 MR. MCANDREW: I'll second, because 21 this isn't really time-sensitive legislation. 22 I mean, I understand it's this lateral -- 23 these lateral hires have happened in the past. 24 And this is more of a -- what am I trying to 25 say, something in writing for this to occur.  55 1 So if we need an opinion of their 2 solicitor and we could wait a week, I'm okay 3 with that. 4 MR. SMURL: Okay. So we have a 5 motion and a second on the floor. On the 6 question? So we'll do a roll call, please on 7 just the -- to table it. 8 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King. 9 MR. KING: Yes. 10 MS.
