CORRESPONDENCE DATED OCTOBER 14 2, 2025, FROM CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, 15 REGARDING CAPITAL RESERVE BUDGET TRANSFER FOR 16 CITY PARK UPGRADES. 17 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments 18 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 19 received and filed. Do any Council members 20 have any announcements at this time? 21 MR. KING: I have a quick 22 announcement. This Sunday is the 28th annual 23 Steamtown Marathon being run to benefit the 24 children of St. Joseph's Center. 25 I just want to ask the residents to  5 1 be a little patient with us between the hours 2 of 10 a.m. and probably 1:45 p.m. The course 3 comes into Scranton. It starts in Forest City 4 and finishes in Scranton. But it enters the 5 city at Boulevard Avenue. 6 It works its way up Electric Street 7 and then takes a right out Capouse, takes 8 Capouse to Walnut, takes a left on Walnut and 9 then comes straight down North Washington and 10 finishes in front of the Lackawanna County 11 Courthouse. 12 So between the hours of 10 a.m. and 13 probably like 1:45 or 1:30 p.m., people wishing 14 to cross over to West Side from East Scranton 15 or East Mountain or South Side can -- you'll 16 actually be able to get around the course on 17 Lackawanna Avenue. 18 If you need to come down Gibson 19 Street, you can cross. We'll have police 20 there. They'll be crossing people. Green 21 Ridge Street, they'll have police crossing. As 22 there's gaps in the -- with the runners, 23 they'll feed you across, just ask that you be a 24 little patient while the runners are crossing. 25 But other than that, that's about  6 1 it. We are looking forward to welcoming over a 2 thousand runners from 27 states and I think 3 three countries coming to our great Northeast 4 Pennsylvania to compete in that marathon. So 5 we're excited about that. That's it. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 7 Anyone else? 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yeah, I just want to 9 mention a couple things that happened over the 10 weekend within our city. There were -- there 11 was a lot going on. But City Hall Friday night 12 had our open house. And I was able to be there 13 with my family and it was a great event. 14 I hope everyone who came enjoyed it 15 and was able to get a piece of slate from 16 outside. And I also wanted to congratulate the 17 Fringe Festival on another successful year of 18 their festival. 19 This one was I know was especially 20 hard for them as an organization without their 21 cofounder this year, Liz Bohan who had passed 22 away. And but they still had -- had a very 23 successful festival. And it's a really great 24 thing that we're able to have. So I just 25 wanted to mention those two things. Thank you.  7 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 2 Rothchild. Anyone else? 3 MR. MCANDREW: I have a quick one. 4 So this Saturday night at 5:30, Elm Park Church 5 is having their monthly free community dinner. 6 Dinner for this Saturday is lasagna and you're 7 requested to use the Madison Avenue entrance. 8 Elm Park serves a nice monthly meal 9 for the community. I'm a culinary guy. I 10 think this is fantastic that they are providing 11 a free meal to the community. And, you know, 12 like any event, food brings people together. 13 So I applaud their efforts for this. And 14 that's all I have. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 16 This is from the Council Rules. I'm going to 17 give a reminder tonight. When you speak to 18 Council, you speak to Council as a body, not a 19 particular Council member. 20 You don't speak to staff or audience 21 members and refrain from engaging in 22 conversations with individual Council members. 23 This time is intended for you. A discussion 24 between Council and a speaker is not allowed. 25 That is it.  8 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 2 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 3 MR. SMURL: First signature is 4 Jeffery Fox. 5 MR. FOX: Good evening, Council. 6 The reason for I'm here is the taxes are 7 getting raised, city taxes, school taxes, 8 property taxes. And then, like, where's the 9 money going when, like, sidewalks are not 10 repaired? 11 On Sunday afternoon I was walking 12 with my son, 7th Avenue across from the credit 13 union. And I got pictures. My son who is 14 special needs besides, stepped in there and 15 sprained his knee. Taxes raise, raise, raise, 16 we got sidewalks that look like that. 17 I got pictures where my son fell if 18 you would like to look at them. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: What was the area? 20 It was 7th Avenue? 21 MR. FOX: 7th Avenue across -- it's 22 like down from the church there across from the 23 credit union. And it ended up that he suffered 24 a sprained knee. Like I said, he's autistic, 25 nonverbal, developmentally delayed and, like,  9 1 the kid had to go through something like that. 2 MR. SMURL: Okay. 3 MR. MCANDREW: That's very sad to 4 hear. I feel your pain. But could you forward 5 them pictures to Miss Carrera here somehow or 6 do it -- 7 MR. FOX: Okay. I'll get her e-mail 8 or cell -- 9 MR. MCANDREW: Right. Coordinate 10 that with her and then we could forward that 11 onto administration. 12 MR. FOX: Okay. And again, that's 13 it. I don't even need the full time. Thank 14 you for listening. I appreciate it. 15 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 17 Voldenberg, I don't know who owns that property 18 on the corner. I know it's right next -- after 19 the rectory of the church and the rectory as 20 you're coming towards -- on the right side. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct. We 22 may not need the pictures. I'll send code 23 enforcement out to that specific avenue. 24 MR. SMURL: Or at least find out who 25 owns it. See if we do own it. And if we do,  10 1 maybe the blight people could go out and take a 2 look at it and see what we could do with it. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that and 4 report back. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Joan 6 Hodowanitz. 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 8 Scranton. First, just a suggestion for each of 9 you on City Council. For a few weeks you've 10 been sitting at your chairs on the dais for the 11 public caucus. 12 And it would be helpful for those 13 of us sitting back in the gallery here if you 14 would use your microphones so we could hear 15 your conversation better. It is a public 16 caucus. So we should be able to hear what you 17 are saying, so just a suggestion. 18 They're right in front of you. All 19 you have to do is push the button. And, yes, 20 Virginia, there is a 2024 audit because I have 21 a copy thanks to Frank Voldenberg who sent me a 22 copy. And he says it will be in Third Order 23 next week. 24 But it looks like the city's 25 financial statements are fairly presented. The  11 1 only thing of note that I saw in there was that 2 expenditures exceeded revenues by 3 and a half 3 million dollars. 4 Now, that's a question you should 5 probably ask the administration what drove that 6 deficit, was it a one time or a couple unusual 7 unforeseen expenditures that -- into the budget 8 or is there some kind of structural deficit 9 that needs to be addressed so it doesn't 10 continue year after year. 11 But other than that, you know, the 12 audit reflects that finances were well managed. 13 So but I would like to know what happened to 14 that 3 and a half million dollars. 15 I would also like to know when we 16 are going to get a new Director of DPW? It's 17 been vacant for a long time. 18 MR. SMURL: Yes, it has. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: And when are we 20 going to get a new collective bargaining 21 agreement for the DPW? It's been nine-plus 22 months. 23 MR. SMURL: Yes. 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Which brings us to 25 the issue of the budget is just around the  12 1 corner. Usually we see a draft around 2 midOctober. Is anyone aware of when we might 3 see this year's draft for next year? Maybe 4 next week? 5 MR. SMURL: It has begun. And there 6 are certain sections that are done. But I 7 don't know enough to throw out some of -- 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: They can't hang 9 fire too long because of the 30-day requirement 10 for public comment and everything else. And 11 December is just around the corner. 12 But speaking of the budget, the 13 county has been very specific about the 14 negative impact of no state budget on county 15 finances and financial planning. 16 I would be interested if anyone has 17 heard anything about the impact on Scranton's 18 plans financially for the future. I mean, for 19 example, the pension, the state contributes to 20 our municipal pension. Without a budget, is 21 that going to be affected at all for this year? 22 MR. SMURL: Well, if they don't 23 contribute on time, I assume there would be 24 a -- 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, well, we  13 1 don't have a budget. And who thought it would 2 be hanging fire this long. I would like to 3 know that answer. And let's see, oh, yes, 5-B 4 is the Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project. 5 I did look at the backup and I 6 noticed that the four way stop signs are still 7 planned to take effect. And, you know, I've 8 talked to some people. And some people are not 9 worried about it because they said, well, you 10 know, when you're driving down Wyoming or even 11 down Lackawanna Avenue or Penn, you know, you 12 see all of those streetlights. 13 And if it's green, you want to hit 14 every green light so you tend to speed up. 15 MR. SMURL: That's me. 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: With four-way stop 17 signs, it should stop you from doing that for 18 more than one block. And then you have to stop 19 and so on and so forth. My only question is, 20 you know, drivers are tending to be very 21 distracted these days, their cell phones and 22 everything else. 23 Are they going to pay attention to 24 pedestrians trying to cross the street? And 25 how is a pedestrian to know when it's safe to  14 1 cross? You know, I'd like those answers. And 2 5-C, the Nay Aug project Phase 2, I would like 3 to know when we could expect a pool to be open 4 for swimming at Nay Aug Park. Will it be 2026 5 or later? 6 MR. SMURL: No, that pool is ready. 7 It's actually filled. It's ready. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: It's ready? 9 MR. SMURL: The pool is ready. 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Not this year. 11 MR. SMURL: Well, all courts, the 12 pickleball courts and stuff are under 13 construction. And, Joan, next week the city is 14 going to be here to present all of the 15 information that they have about the lights and 16 the street project. 17 MS. HODOWANITZ: I will be here. 18 What time, 5:30, 5:45? 19 MR. SMURL: 5:30. Well, Mr. 20 Voldenberg, did we do 5:30? 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5:45, but I could 22 look at 5:30. 23 MR. SMURL: Maybe we should push it 24 up a little bit to 5:30 if that's okay with 25 them.  15 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll see. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg? 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Could we ask that 8 question to the city administration what, if 9 any, areas of the city budget are impacted by 10 the state not having a budget at this point in 11 time? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 14 MR. SMURL: Bob Bolus. 15 MR. BOLUS: Bob Bolus, Scranton. 16 First off, I want to bring up about the 17 hospitals -- the two hospitals here in Scranton 18 that we're looking for a buyer and looking for 19 buyers. I want to see them become employee 20 owned. 21 There's enough money in this state 22 between Flynn, Kosierowski or Bridget to get 23 state funding to back that process including 24 federal money from Rob Bresnahan and other 25 Congressmen and make it employee owned.  16 1 We have the talent here. Geisinger 2 is there. They could share personnel. But 3 they'll come to work. They'll pay taxes. We 4 don't need some clown coming in and buying us 5 off taking big money for a CEO and all of their 6 other crap. 7 Let's keep it within the people in 8 the city. And I'm asking Council to get 9 involved, pass some legislation tonight or make 10 a motion to get the county off their butt, 11 Gaughan to do what we need to do to make this 12 employee owned and then go to the taxing 13 sources and let them come up with the money, 14 put their money where their mouth is. 15 The next thing I want to do is the 16 benefit of the county. I filed a suit against 17 the tax assessor from filing and certifying the 18 assessment. Gaughan said the Commissioners 19 can't do it. So I took the bull by the horns 20 and I filed it to stop them from doing it 21 because it's a damn joke, this assessment. 22 It's so blown out of proportion. 23 They took the Holy Cross Church and said it was 24 worth, 3.1 million. It was in a tax sale 25 because of the taxes and issues we're fighting  17 1 with, and not one person bid it. 2 Now, where the hell do they get it's 3 worth 3.1 and nobody would buy it. That just 4 shows the stupidity based on what they did. So 5 it stopped right now. And it's going to be a 6 long time before they file it. So you're all 7 ready -- anybody that wants to join my suit, 8 just call me at 346-7659. 9 The other part is PTSD. And I've 10 asked the colonel to get involved with me. You 11 know, PTSD not only affects our military, but 12 let's pay attention to what we just saw, two 13 former Marines, prior service, killed people 14 because there's a gremlin eating at them. 15 And somewhere along the line, that 16 gremlin triggered what they did. We have a 17 process to treat PTSD. I have a clinical 18 psychologist. We've been involved in it in 19 Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina. 20 I brought him here to the Gino 21 Merli. And the VA decided they didn't want to 22 listen to it and walked out of the room. We 23 have a way to release the gremlin and save 24 lives. And it's not only our military. It was 25 the queer that killed Charlie Kirk. He had a  18 1 gremlin in him, something bothering him that 2 was triggered, whatever it was, press, 3 mechanism, or whatever relationship and he went 4 after him because of the religion. 5 But there's a trigger there and he 6 could have been saved. It doesn't only 7 affect -- everybody. It could affect each one 8 of you, a housewife, a police officer. So 9 PTSD, I want to open up a clinic at my former 10 church, the Holy Cross Church, open to the 11 people that need treatment. 12 It could be sorted by the county, 13 the city, but let's save lives, not lose them 14 because somebody goes off the deep end and 15 kills them. And the colonel and I are going to 16 get involved with our military personnel 17 because remember, when we put a uniform on, we 18 were trained to kill. 19 We weren't trained to shake your 20 damn hand or anything else. So everyone out 21 there that had a uniform, remember, was a 22 trained killer. And a lot of them just can't 23 forget it. So we want that. So that's the 24 PTSD. 25 So I want to set it up there. But  19 1 right now I have a memorial trailer in process 2 for Charlie Kirk on one of my former Trump 3 trailers with Trump on it. And it's going to 4 go around the country because he had a mission 5 and his mission was to save this country. His 6 mission was to save the youth that are screwed 7 up by thinking different things and doing 8 anything wrong. 9 We got to bring them back to make 10 them understand. If you're in America, you're 11 going to damn well learn to be an American. 12 And whatever the hell is bothering you, your 13 PTSD or whatever, we're going to help you get 14 rid of it and keep our country and take it back 15 from the illegals and all that want to change 16 what our country is. 17 I'm asking your cooperation, 18 gentlemen and lady, to be involved. And let's 19 kick ass with those that don't want to be here. 20 Thank you. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus. 22 Brandon -- I can't get your last name. Brandon 23 Pilger, okay. 24 MR. PILGER: How are you? Sorry 25 about that. I have a couple of things that I  20 1 brought with me today if you guys don't mind. 2 Everything on here I brought has to do with 3 community service, what some people call or 4 what I like to litter cleanup, which has to do 5 with, like, on the roads, on the roadside, 6 sidewalks, sometimes the sewer storm drain 7 grates for any garbage. 8 MR. KING: Can you move your mic up 9 a little bit so we can -- 10 MR. PILGER: Sorry. So sorry about 11 that. 12 MR. KING: So we can hear you, 13 thanks. 14 MR. PILGER: All right. So clearly, 15 this is my first time at the City Council 16 meeting so I would like to, first of all, say 17 hello to everybody that is here tonight. Today 18 I am going over everything to do with the 19 litter cleanup which I like to call garbage 20 cleaning. Some people call it community 21 service that I'm going to refer to. 22 So what I would like to do when, 23 like, when it's on my free time, I go out and 24 clean up the roads, the roadside, sidewalks and 25 the storm drain grates which I know that after  21 1 storms can get very, very bad and can -- with 2 storm drain grates, they gets filled enough 3 which they have, it could cause potential for 4 flooding in certain areas which is very 5 important for the city to be concerned about. 6 And so I am here today to discuss 7 what I have been doing as far as that. Now, if 8 you get started with this -- one of the tools 9 that I use is a litter grabber. This one is 10 about under $10. You could get this at 11 Wal-Mart. 12 It's actually a heavy duty one that 13 could pick up, like, water bottles, heavier 14 items, any various things that are laying on 15 the ground you could build and pick up and put 16 into a bag. So it helps me a lot as far as 17 that, like, for small stuff. 18 I do use a broom and dust pan along 19 with a push broom to help out with cleaning a 20 lot of the garbage that ends up being, like, 21 drawn in from, like, runoff or from people 22 littering, etc. If there is a lot, I use that 23 stuff. It helps me collect more along the way. 24 It helps me clean up the area more efficiently. 25 MR. KING: Brandon, what part of the  22 1 city have you been doing this? 2 MR. PILGER: I have been doing this 3 in the South Side of Scranton. I am familiar 4 with the South Side Scranton Neighborhood 5 Association. They have full support behind me 6 along with some other people that are within 7 the group that have also been participating in 8 the same activities. 9 It has been going very well as far 10 as that has been going. There has actually 11 been a contest going on for the grate cleaning 12 for all across South Side. Whoever gets the 13 most of them in a certain time period will be 14 able to get a gift card from Gerrity's 15 Supermarket. 16 MR. KING: Thank you for doing that. 17 That's fantastic. 18 MR. PILGER: No problem. And I do 19 have a couple other things. Sometimes I'm out 20 in the sewer drain grates. At night I like to 21 use the road cones. These are small. They're 22 nice and bright. People could see them. I 23 have a couple garbage bags. Everyone knows 24 what these are. 25 So we have, like, 13 gallon trash  23 1 bags for the kitchen. Some people already know 2 and already have these. There is even bigger 3 contractor bags that could hold more garbage, 4 if needed. And, of course, I use a high 5 visibility vest for at nighttime and during the 6 day so people could see me very clearly when 7 people are driving or even walking. 8 After four months of 9 participating -- contributing towards community 10 service and cleaning up garbage, I have picked 11 up 350 pounds of garbage and volunteered 27 12 hours. That is throughout the last four 13 months. 14 My question for -- I have a couple 15 questions for the city. Could the city work 16 with DPW recycling facilities and potentially 17 PA American Water depending whose 18 responsibility it is to address and resolve any 19 issues related to garbage collection from 20 roads, alleys, roadsides, and storm drain 21 grates? 22 Another question is, could DPW 23 potentially add the job of on foot garbage 24 cleanup services throughout Scranton? And 25 lastly, who is responsible for the storm drain  24 1 grates and the garbage from any runoff related 2 to it for sweeping up and cleaning property? 3 Will there be services added for storm drain 4 grate trash removal especially after storms? 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Brandon. 6 Thank you very much. Thank you for everything 7 you've done in South Side. I've seen what 8 you've done. And I'm actually a member of the 9 South Side Residents Association. So I think 10 they should just give you the gift certificate 11 and get it over with. So thank you for all of 12 that. 13 MR. KING: DPW is responsible for 14 cleaning those grates. It's just that there's 15 a lot of them around the city. So any help 16 anyone is willing to give, is certainly greatly 17 appreciated. Thank you for what you are doing. 18 MR. PILGER: I do have one question 19 regarding that. Does PA American Water have 20 any relation to pressure washers for, like, 21 dislodging rocks and dirt and -- 22 MR. SMURL: That would be -- that 23 will be -- we don't know which ones -- who owns 24 what right now. But your time is up. So there 25 is other people waiting. Thank you.  25 1 MR. PILGER: Thank you. Yeah, 2 that's my last question. 3 MR. SMURL: Okay. 4 MR. PILGER: Thank you. 5 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler. 6 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 7 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 8 homeowner. Last week I spoke about e-bikes and 9 scooters and how it's a state law they're not 10 allowed on the streets. One thing I neglected 11 to say was, the only place they're legally 12 allowed to be ridden is on their own property 13 unless they're licensed, ensured, and 14 registered. 15 They can't be ridden on the streets. 16 And there was -- on Channel 16 news last night, 17 I don't remember where it was. It was out of 18 this county. But a 59-year-old man was riding 19 an e-bike, went into a telephone pole and died. 20 If he wasn't riding illegally, it wouldn't have 21 happened. 22 I think Council should write a 23 letter to Police Chief Carroll telling his 24 officers to enforce this law that these bikes 25 are not allowed on the streets.  26 1 MR. SMURL: Please, there's a 2 speaker. We can't hear. Sorry, Les. 3 MR. MCANDREW: Les, I brought this 4 up a couple times and sent it over to the 5 department. And I'm waiting to hear for a new 6 strategy because I agree with you totally. 7 MR. SPINDLER: Something should be 8 done. 9 MR. MCANDREW: I agree. 10 MR. SPINDLER: It's a safety issue. 11 Next thing, the subsidence on Dorothy Street 12 I've been talking about for months now, still 13 not taken care of. I was walking by last week 14 with my dog, somebody removed the barriers, 15 just put them off to the side. I put them back 16 around. 17 But something's got to be done. 18 It's a subsidence. If I didn't put those 19 barriers back and cars kept going over, 20 somebody would have got their car damaged. 21 Next thing, I brought this up a while back 22 about seeing the code enforcement car in 23 Dunmore. 24 Well, this weekend I saw one driving 25 around on Saturday. Does code enforcement work  27 1 on the weekends? 2 COUNCIL: Yes. 3 MR. SPINDLER: Oh, they do? Oh, 4 okay. But I bumped into a code enforcement 5 officer in a drug store a few weeks ago. He 6 knew me. I didn't know who he was. But he 7 told me the reason they're in Dunmore. 8 Sometimes they have to go a magistrate up 9 there, the magistrate's office or something 10 like -- 11 MR. SMURL: Marie, please. There's 12 someone speaking. Sorry, Les. 13 MR. SPINDLER: Next thing, Joan 14 mentioned the Streetscape Program. I can't 15 believe they're going to replace traffic lights 16 with stop signs. I was at that meeting at 17 Lackawanna College. 18 And former City Engineer John Pocius 19 said stop signs should never replace traffic 20 lights. I guess nobody wants to listen to an 21 engineer who knows what he's talking about. 22 And whoever was at that meeting, I asked the 23 gentleman how is sight impaired people going to 24 know when to cross the street? 25 And he didn't answer my question.  28 1 He said, oh, the cars would let them go. I 2 said, that's not what I asked. I said I asked 3 how are they going to know when to cross 4 without that beeping noise that the traffic 5 lights give off? He never answered my 6 question. 7 So they are still going forward with 8 this. When people are killed left and right, 9 then maybe they'll go back to the traffic 10 lights. It's a ridiculous idea. 11 MR. KING: Les, it's my 12 understanding that that is being addressed in 13 the plan. I believe they are going to be here 14 for caucus next week. So we'll learn more 15 about that when they come here next week. 16 MR. SPINDLER: I wish we were 17 allowed to ask them questions because that 18 gentleman never answered. He just walked 19 around my question. 20 Next thing, yesterday driving down 21 Euclid Avenue which I do every day, at the 22 bottom of Euclid where it meets Main Avenue, I 23 see a stop sign. We always had a stop sign. 24 This one had flashing red lights all around the 25 outside and looked like a solar panel on top.  29 1 So it looks like a solar run stop sign, which I 2 thought was really neat. Has anybody seen this 3 on other stop signs around the city? 4 MR. SMURL: Yeah, we have about 15 5 of them. And they're going to where there's 6 high traffic incidents. They go to those 7 intersections. 8 MR. SPINDLER: Okay. I know that is 9 a bad area. A lot of times cars pull out -- 10 MR. SMURL: Right by the park -- 11 Weston Field there too. 12 MR. SPINDLER: There's a lot of 13 accidents in that area. 14 MR. KING: Whenever new stop signs 15 are put in, they'll typically put some lighting 16 on there just because people are used to -- 17 MR. SMURL: These are permanent and 18 they are solar. 19 MR. KING: Okay. 20 MR. SPINDLER: Okay. That's all I 21 have tonight. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler. 23 Ron Ellman. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, when 25 it comes to that Dorothy Street pave cut with  30 1 the subsidence, I know it's been filled a 2 couple times and Mr. Spindler's been bringing 3 it up. I sent a few emails and never had any 4 response. Can we reach out again or do you 5 recall us getting a response on the 17 -- 1800 6 of Dorothy Street? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: Only that they 8 would address the issue. So I'll follow up 9 with Mr. Cusick tomorrow. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. I'm going to 11 hit send again on this, but thank you. 12 MR. SMURL: Ron? 13 MR. ELLMAN: Council, this morning 14 before 5 a.m., I was going up Green Ridge 15 towards that malicious cursing traffic light in 16 front of the library. And again, 5:00 in the 17 morning not a car in sight anywhere, it turns 18 red for me. 19 I really think Paige has had 20 somebody in her administration install some 21 kind of gadget that recognizes me or my car 22 that makes this happen every time I come up 23 there like this. 24 Last night on the news, a woman from 25 I think it was S and S Swimming Pool Company  31 1 was complaining the state owed her a hefty 2 amount of money for storage. It seems like 3 Shapiro has millions to give the city, 5 4 million for that dilapidated hotel -- building 5 the bankers bought, grants for restaurants and 6 nail salons, but not to pay their bills. 7 There's something going on wrong in this state. 8 It started out I liked the man, but 9 I don't anymore. I don't know. I imagine all 10 of you guys have perused the walkability plan. 11 In it, one place it states that Lackawanna 12 Avenue is a corridor to the city. And yet, 13 Paige wants to take a lane of traffic from 14 automobiles and turn it into a completely 15 illegal bicycle path. 16 The state code for vehicles, you 17 have to be titled, licensed, insured. These 18 EVs are none of that. Besides that, I have 19 ridden on one three, four, years ago. And it 20 would really go fast, but you can't stop it. 21 You could lock the brake and they slide because 22 they're so light. 23 I think someone's going to get hurt 24 or killed before it's all over on one of these 25 things. To me, they are nothing but an illegal  32 1 death trap. My neighborhood is full of young 2 kids. Nobody seems to care. They use the 3 street. They don't belong on the street or the 4 sidewalk. 5 But many years ago after World War 6 II, they sold a little motor and a kit to put 7 on bicycles called a wizard. I had several 8 over the years. They were licensed and legal. 9 These machines, they keep advertising people 10 all over street. They're not legal in this 11 state. 12 Before the hook comes, I had three 13 or four people during the week ask me again 14 to -- for you people to get the handicap some 15 free parking around here from these greedy 16 people we gave 2 million dollars to. Thank 17 you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 19 That is all for the sign-in sheet. Does anyone 20 else wish to address Council? 21 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 22 First off, I'd like to step back to last week. 23 I addressed the curbs and the flooding and 24 Billy Barrett playground and the pickleball 25 area.  33 1 I was told that paving east and 2 uphill location where the road surface was 3 washed out was scheduled for next week. It has 4 been milled and a paving is underway. And it 5 was milled down as close to the stone as 6 possible. For clarity, the Billy Barrett Park, 7 the water runoff was impacting the play area 8 because of insufficient or nonexistent curbs. 9 I sent a marked Google map, included 10 where the curbs needed to be installed as well 11 as where the water runoff patterns were in that 12 area. I'm pleased to report and thank DPW for 13 fixing the issue by installing about 100 foot 14 of new blacktop curbs and the creation of one 15 on the sidewalk side to the hill surrounding 16 the catch basin so the water would not jump it, 17 run down the hill directly into the play area 18 and into the wooden chips. 19 I understand issues with scheduling 20 large projects. But sometimes identifying 21 small fixes can also provide large impacts. I 22 know some people offer general information and 23 complain. And it's difficult to grasp the 24 water issues on a sunny day. 25 So I hope providing mapping  34 1 including topographics offered some insight to 2 get this fixed. The next stop is the 3200 3 block on Cedar Avenue on the western side. Due 4 to weather I understand we're running out of 5 time and I do not expect it to be addressed as 6 other areas have issues. 7 But the curbs there have a 8 considerable issue and again or are 9 nonexistent. The properties on the west side 10 of the road as it's all downhill from there and 11 there is no rainwater catch system west of the 12 3200 block of Cedar Avenue. 13 Mitigation is needed until it could 14 finally be resolved. Again, thank you for DPW 15 because 100 foot of new blacktop curb will 16 resolve issues for both the kids who use the 17 park and the city park maintenance who have to 18 fix it after every, every rainfall. 19 Moving on, at the open house, though 20 city hall should always be an open house. I 21 enjoyed looking around and I managed to bend a 22 few ears. I talked to a code enforcement 23 person about the GIS Map. The city's GIS Map, 24 the parking meters from the Bureau of Planning 25 and Zoning, all still reflect a prior meter  35 1 time, not the change. They all show eight to 2 five throughout the city. 3 Someone needs to update maps. The 4 second is the parcel information map that's 5 been open for a year. That map is now behind 6 the city login and unable for the public to 7 access a public map. Why is that? I talked to 8 the DPW person who informed me there is still 9 no acting director or director, but a manager 10 is now running the show. 11 If they're running the show and they 12 are not just our acting director, or is this 13 another way to side step the requirements and 14 time periods for an acting director if we do 15 not name them as such, we could ignore the laws 16 and requirements. 17 I asked about the street sweeper and 18 was told a new one is in the budget. The old 19 one is working. I was told it goes to areas of 20 the city, but there are some priority areas. 21 If this is true, then what I hear is other 22 taxpayers do not deserve equal treatment for 23 taxes they pay. Some areas are not priority. 24 In other cities, we have real time 25 tracking online of trash, snowplow, street  36 1 sweepers. They could even send you a text 2 alert when they're near. Lackawanna County, we 3 have buses that do the same. Why can't we 4 track our city resources? 5 Maybe if we could, we wouldn't have 6 a walkabout power washer for years. The post 7 office and Amazon tell you how far they are 8 away to service you, but not the city. We're 9 ten months into the renewed Rubicon. I no 10 longer see reports of weigh bills or anything 11 at City Council. 12 Back in January, Dr. Rothchild asked 13 about houses that were exceptions who didn't 14 put the trash out. She asked how many calls 15 were returned for pickup and was told they did 16 not have it because they did not record it. Do 17 they now? Have they responded back? 18 Has it been forgotten or is nine 19 months rushing it? And last week again when 20 the Mayor is out of town, who in the 21 administration is running the city? With the 22 Mayor starting a run of both Mayor and 23 Representative at the same time, who covers 24 while we have a Mayor who is an absentee 25 landlord? Who is acting as the Mayor when the  37 1 Mayor is away? 2 MR. MCANDREW: -- Eileen Cipriani -- 3 MR. COYNE: But Cipriani can't 4 qualify for it. It's illegal for Cipriani to 5 do that. That's why I'm asking who is, not who 6 is actually doing it. But if she is, that 7 would be nice to know because she's legally not 8 allowed to. Thank you. 9 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton 10 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight 11 let's go back in time with the Paige mediocre 12 machine, shall we? Paige Gebhardt was 13 introduced to Scranton by a Tuscan chicken 14 sandwich by her now husband. She was part of 15 the Hillary Clinton tour. 16 Not long after moving to Scranton, 17 she noticed that a Scranton School Board member 18 resigned. She looked at the position as a way 19 to contribute. She was appointed to the board 20 and named head of the budget and finance 21 committee. During her tenure and prior to 22 walking away from the district, she managed to 23 eliminate all librarians from the district. 24 She recommended laying off 89 25 teachers and negotiating down to 51 after  38 1 months of debate with the teachers unions. 2 Sixteen teachers were furloughed. Maintenance 3 workers, administrative employees and service 4 providers ended up with reductions of jobs and 5 pay, 3.8 percent tax increase. 6 Shortly after baseless claims that 7 cost individuals attorneys fees and unwanted 8 embarrassment, she left the school district to 9 become special assistant to the State Attorney 10 General where she was watchdog for all 512 11 school districts in the state. 12 She then ran for Mayor in a crowded 13 field. She won with 38 percent of the vote. 14 Shortly after taking office, she placed an 15 extra set of locked doors on the building that 16 have never been open to the public. She 17 changed the police testing which created a 18 shortage for our amazing police department, 19 removed the narcotics unit placing the public 20 and her officers in danger. 21 One early January morning, 2024, 22 gunshots rang out striking one of her 23 detectives. She referred to it as the call. I 24 heard those shots fired. On behalf of your 25 community, continued prayers to Kyle Gilmartin.  39 1 Statistics are more important than results with 2 no one being prosecuted for unwanted opioid 3 related deaths. 4 She gave ARPA funds to the head of a 5 gang in Scranton who was arrested with guns 6 drawn to the pill press. She even managed to 7 take a picture with him. She tauted updated 8 technology to the police department that 9 includes cameras that are not manned next to no 10 one knowing how to operate them. 11 These increased police calls were 12 more than isolated incidents. They affect our 13 whole city, our police department and citizens 14 deserve better. To the municipalities 15 bordering Scranton, our apologies for your 16 increased crime. 17 Paige Cognetti and her expansion 18 team are at fault. We'll get this next 19 election right. She wanted to move Engine 10 20 off of the East Mountain, updated signs at 21 each firehouse without union emblems. She 22 quested the response time for fire and EMS. 23 Studies have shown each firehouse is 24 positioned in a great location. Ambulances 25 need to be close to them for the best response  40 1 times. Our fire department has no issues with 2 the response times whatsoever. Thank you to 3 our fire department. 4 With questions about the sale of two 5 hospitals in Scranton, Paige managed to shut 6 down the expansion of the GCMC after they spent 7 millions to acquire many nearby properties. 8 GCMC was limited to 45 feet in height. Now 9 GCMC treats critical patients and ambulances, 10 sometimes 10 deep because of the lack of space. 11 DPW still without a contract when 12 many of their prior functions like tree 13 cutting, pave cut inspections, blight, razing 14 condemned properties and seven different 15 directors. Paige will remove both pools in 16 West Side. She removed the deep end pool at 17 Weston Field and lied about the deep end pool 18 at Nay Aug. 19 Pickleball is more important to her. 20 She refuses to call PA Water to make them 21 responsible for our poor road conditions. She 22 celebrated Tops in Moosic. She pulled to the 23 left with a fire truck right behind her. She 24 took a picture at a park in the Abingtons not 25 even knowing that the school was not in  41 1 Scranton, then mass mailed it out with her 2 fliers. 3 She managed to fire Marty Flynn's 4 mom after 19 years of dedicated service because 5 Marty was named State Senator instead of her. 6 68.7 million in ARPA funds and the sale of the 7 sewer authority took us out of Act 47, not 8 Paige Cognetti. 9 80 percent of the Mayor's raised 10 contributions are from outside the city. Most 11 are from outside of the state. Stranger 12 danger. Now you know the real Paige Cognetti. 13 You are her backup plan. Don't make the same 14 mistake again. Choose to do better. Good 15 evening. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 17 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, I'm Rik 18 Little. I've been coming here to speak over 19 six years. It started when I was having 20 problems at Scranton Housing Authority locking 21 up my -- confiscating my stuff for two and a 22 half years anyway. 23 Eventually February 5th, last year 24 I'm evicted. I'm on the street at 71. Going 25 through the reams of paper, you know, go to  42 1 this agency -- this -- there's so many 2 agencies. And I have been to them all. 3 There's nothing for the elderly here. 4 And yet our former senator, he says 5 that's the main focus of him as our Senator 6 from Pennsylvania, Bob Casey. And the Area 7 Agency on Aging and every time they come, they 8 come with authorities and they say, you know, 9 it's health. It's safety. It's the law. 10 The law, the judiciary, that's the 11 big problem. This whole area needs a wake-up 12 call, a wake-up call to exactly what the 13 democracy is. I'm running for Mayor of 14 Scranton. And, you know, as Benjamin Franklin 15 always says, you've got a republic if you could 16 keep it. 17 Well, everybody's gone crazy with, 18 you know, separation of church and state and 19 what their freedom of speech is and all of 20 that. But it just gets wiped out when you get 21 to the county and municipal level. And that's 22 where it really counts where we have a 23 republic. 24 They've changed the meaning of the 25 word democracy. And I'm running as an  43 1 independent for Mayor of Scranton. And I was 2 born to be the next Mayor of Scranton. There 3 is no doubt about it. I mean, it's so -- I was 4 trying to put it together and, you know, I come 5 out of the shelter, there's 20 beds in the 6 shelter. 7 What is it, 76,000, 78,000 people in 8 Scranton? You know, and so I go to the -- I 9 take it as a job. God said to me, you know, 10 become the next Mayor of Scranton, thought he 11 was crazy, you know. And I didn't do anything 12 about it for a while, just trying to survive 13 following everybody's instructions all over the 14 county and city, all the NGO, 5013C jobs that 15 everybody says to go to. 16 And I'm supposed to be in the debate 17 on the 16th. I haven't gotten confirmation 18 from -- they don't have League of Women Voters 19 anymore. Now it's the Scranton University. I 20 hope they -- I turned in all the paperwork and 21 I haven't heard from them yet. 22 Anyway, you know, God told me become 23 the Mayor of Scranton. So it was the second 24 time I went to the Election Board. The first 25 time was to try to legislate to get rid of the  44 1 Biden sign. It's just crazy that we still have 2 a Biden sign. 3 And it's even more crazy because I 4 clearly understand how the judiciary has taken 5 over the government. You have judges that 6 are -- run as Republicans and Democrats. And 7 no one knows who they're voting for. They 8 don't even know who they are voting for for any 9 of your offices or Mayor or anything really. 10 So the debate is kind of important. 11 It's an hour long, October 16th. I hope it all 12 works out. I went to Wheaton Central High 13 School, same high school was Bob Woodward who 14 was played by Robert Redford in the movie All 15 The President's Men. 16 That was about Watergate and 17 where -- anyway, in that movie and it's in real 18 life too, he talks to Deep Throat who we found 19 out 20 years later is second in charge of the 20 FBI. And his advice was follow the money. And 21 I think that's a good thing to do. 22 I'm a filmmaker. That's what I'm 23 trained in. To make a film, you have to do 24 certain things, location, build it. It's all 25 about the rectangle and what you put into it.  45 1 And in this election I'm supposed to be on the 2 top of the ballot and I'm not. And that's a 3 question. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 5 MR. LITTLE: I need more time. 6 MR. SMURL: We all need more time. 7 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie 8 Schumacher, resident of East Mountain. I would 9 like to know what happened to the large 10 telescope that was at the Lookout on 307. 11 MR. SMURL: Please. I'm sorry, 12 Marie. 13 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, I'm sorry. 14 Yes, there was one of the committees in the 15 city bought that humongous telescope. And it 16 was there and now it's not. Do we know what 17 happened to it? I mean, has it been -- 18 MR. SMURL: I don't know, Marie. I 19 don't know when it was taken. I don't know. 20 MR. KING: When was the last time 21 that was there, Marie? 22 MR. SCHUSTER: It was actually there 23 this summer because I was up there with my son 24 this summer and we were using it. Can we ask 25 that question and see if the city has taken it  46 1 somewhere? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I can, sir. 3 MR. KING: Thank you. 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: And then what I 5 would also like to know with that, there's 6 disappearing stones up there. And I don't 7 think that's right. And I think something 8 should be done. 9 And I was under the impression that 10 you all were going to get a light at the -- 11 behind the brown whatever you call those round 12 things so there was light and it would not 13 have -- it might help. It might not. 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have further 15 information and answers for you on the Lookout, 16 details that we could give in Fifth Order so we 17 don't take from your time. 18 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. 19 MR. KING: Yeah, the City Engineer 20 prepared some paperwork and some estimates to 21 repair all of that. So we could bring that up 22 in Fifth Order. 23 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. Well, 24 that would be -- that would be nice. And when 25 will a light be put in behind the round thing;  47 1 do we know? 2 MR. SMURL: I would believe during 3 the construction while they are working on it. 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. Thank 5 you. That's it. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Marie. 7 Anyone else? Frank? 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 9 MOTIONS. 10 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 11 any motions or comments? 12 MR. KING: Just a comment or two. 13 I'm thrilled to see that Reilly Associates did 14 go up there and he's prepared some estimates 15 for the Lookout renovations. Hopefully -- I 16 don't know what they prepared will be included 17 in this year's budget. If not, I'm hoping that 18 the city administration can apply for some 19 grants to help offset the costs. 20 We have a breakdown here. It's 21 about $314,768. And that's -- that includes 22 repointing the stone walls, additional stone 23 repairs, repaving the parking area, stone 24 sidewalk repairs, additional lighting, guide 25 rail transition replacement, security cameras,  48 1 mobilization and traffic control. 2 So I'm hoping maybe if we could ask 3 a question of the administration now that we 4 have this prepared by Reilly Associates what 5 the game plan is to fund this project and when 6 the city is hoping to -- the administration is 7 hoping to address it. I would appreciate that. 8 The other thing, I'm happy to see 9 legislation this evening that we're going to 10 apply for a RACP grant for 2 million -- 2 11 million, 7 thousand, 938 dollars for Phase 2 12 pool up at Nay Aug. As our Council President 13 indicated, Phase 1 pool is ready. 14 We expect it to open in the spring. 15 But the infrastructure has been laid for the 16 larger eight lane pool which would be 17 considered Phase 2. So I'm hoping that we're 18 successful with that RACP grant to get that 19 section -- the second phase of the pool done. 20 That's all I have. Thank you. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 22 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 23 comments? 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few. 25 I'll start by some additions to what was just  49 1 stated. I'm very happy to see that the City 2 Engineer put together a cost estimate for the 3 Lookout. And I think it's a good route to take 4 to find out if we can from the administration 5 what is the plan, how we're going to move 6 forward. 7 As I've said in the past, some of 8 the DPW stoneworkers said that they could do 9 some of the work. But this is a WPA project. 10 And I believe that there should be some 11 historic grants out there if that's going to be 12 a route that we take. But if we could find out 13 if that's a possibility of a route we could 14 take. 15 And also, as Mr. King just stated, 16 the Phase 2 of the pool, it's great to see that 17 we're applying for this money. One of the 18 questions that did come up in caucus is what 19 additional -- what estimate and remaining costs 20 do we have for this project. 21 So if we could ask that question and 22 I just want to remind everybody that when the 23 design came in front of Council, this body here 24 wanted to make sure that there was a lap pool 25 in that design. And this Council here did get  50 1 that incorporated into this design. And it is 2 this body that added that to Nay Aug. 3 On top of that, some questions came 4 up I had them on my list, but they also came up 5 in public comment tonight. Can we find out 6 where we're at with the Parks Director, the DPW 7 Director and the Refuse Coordinator as well as 8 when the next meeting will be with DPW to 9 discuss their CBA and negotiate that? 10 And a question did come ]up about 11 who is in charge if the Mayor is out of town. 12 Can we also find out who makes decisions if the 13 Mayor isn't here to make those decisions as 14 well? 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. A couple 17 of residents we -- I've sent in -- I believe, 18 Frank, you got. I have the 10 hundred block 19 Tripp Place. There's rows of locust trees that 20 are pulling up the sidewalk. It was something 21 I sent in quite a while ago. 22 But I did speak to those neighbors 23 again. The trees are still damaging the 24 sidewalks. The root structures are underneath 25 the sidewalks and it's lifting up. I sent some  51 1 pictures over and if we could check up on that. 2 And then similar to that on the 900 3 block of Crown Avenue, so Crown Avenue and 4 Beech Street, when I did go onto Google maps, 5 the tree is still in Google maps. It was a 6 silver maple tree that was on the corner. The 7 root structure is underneath the sidewalks. It 8 is in the city's right of way and the roots are 9 going into the water basin. 10 Since the Google map image, the tree 11 has been cut down but the stump remains. And 12 recently, we've done a contract with a tree 13 removal service which did include stump 14 removal. So if we could just check up on that 15 to see if the city plans on removing those 16 stumps. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 19 Another address I sent in was 323 South Webster 20 Avenue. I requested that code enforcement go 21 out. There is some construction that's taking 22 place on the rear stairs. Some rear stairs 23 were built on the home. The home does seem to 24 be structurally buckling where some of the 25 windows are cracked, but if we could just get  52 1 code enforcement out to 323 South Webster 2 Avenue. 3 And another request that we got was 4 the intersection of North Main Avenue and 5 Clearview Street in North Scranton. We did 6 pass legislation about no parking zones in the 7 area but not on Clearview street. But there is 8 a lot of car congestion in there from the used 9 car dealerships that in there. 10 And some concerns were raised about 11 traffic coming in and also Neil Armstrong 12 School which is in that area and comes down 13 Clearview street. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's an ongoing 15 issue. I'll follow up. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. We did 17 get an update from Don King and Steve Teaman on 18 Parallel Drive, there was a stop work order. 19 And they do have a hearing with the magistrate 20 in October. 21 And as we were sitting here I had 22 another one for West Market Street. The light 23 on Noone's Market shines into the home across 24 the street. Mr. King did follow up and state 25 that he did take a visit today.  53 1 And they got them to turn the light 2 or to block the light. And the owner is saying 3 that they are going to insure that's happening. 4 He said he'll give it a couple days and take a 5 stop by again. So we could follow up on that. 6 But he did give an update as we were sitting 7 here. 8 Other than that, Mr. Voldenberg, I 9 would like to thank you and Alison for getting 10 out those handicap requests. And that's all I 11 have for this evening. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: You're welcome. 13 Thank you. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster 15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 16 comments? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, thank you. 18 First, just a couple of responses I received 19 from last week. I know we've been asking a lot 20 about the curb cut on Colfax and Olive over in 21 the Hill Section. And we were told that the 22 project will be placed out for bid as part of a 23 package of projects this month. 24 So it's good that it's being placed 25 out for bid and so the process is rolling and  54 1 moving along. I'm hoping it could be done 2 before -- before the wintertime. So I'll 3 continue to request updates about it. 4 And then second, there was a 5 question from someone -- I don't know that it 6 was last week, but recently regarding the Code 7 Blue Shelters and why the temperature can't be 8 increased for the threshold of the shelter to 9 be opened where it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit as 10 of now which seems awfully low. 11 I wouldn't want to be sleeping 12 outside in 25 degree weather, 32 degree 13 weather. But the city responded that they 14 parallel the county's protocols and thresholds 15 along with many other counties in the 16 Commonwealth and that, you know, if there is 17 any other information out there that they can 18 verify and validate with the County Emergency 19 Management Director and officials at PEMA, then 20 they're happy to do so. 21 And regarding the Lookout which has 22 been part of our discussion tonight, I'm glad 23 that the engineer had gotten out there and gave 24 us the estimate. I'm not happy with the amount 25 being over $300,000. That's a little bit of a  55 1 sticker shock. 2 But seeing the work that would be 3 put into it, I think would be worth it for the 4 city because it really is a great spot. And I 5 think that, like, the destruction and vandalism 6 and things that have been taken place over the 7 years at that spot could be resolved, not just 8 by replacing some of those stones, but then 9 some of the other things included in this 10 estimate like the lighting, like the camera 11 system. 12 So all of that does take money. And 13 the damage to the stone wall is a lot more 14 extensive than what we had in mind with just 15 some stones being replaced. So a large bulk of 16 that is part of that repair. 17 And I had received an e-mail 18 regarding the intersection of Prescott Avenue 19 and Mulberry Street. So the storm drains are 20 frequently clogged over there. And there is 21 often flooding at that intersection when we do 22 get a lot of rain. So they are asking if those 23 drains could be cleared and maintained 24 regularly since that's a -- that's a known 25 problem area. So if we could forward that to  56 1 DPW, please. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And one 4 other note, I just want to thank Mr. Pilger and 5 commend his efforts for the cleanups that he's 6 been doing in South Side along with the South 7 Side neighbors. I think it's a great, like, 8 incentive that they have with the gift card and 9 having some competition. 10 So I really like that idea and I 11 hope some other neighborhoods will take note. 12 But thank you for what you've been doing to 13 help clean up and then explaining tonight what 14 tools and things you utilize to clean up to 15 help encourage other residents to do the same. 16 Thank you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 18 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 19 motions or comments? 20 MR. MCANDREW: I got a couple. So I 21 too am happy to see this Lookout renovation 22 project cost estimate. I've been harping about 23 this for like over two years. My concern or -- 24 of course, I want to know how it's going to be 25 funded, when it's going to be funded.  57 1 I mean, and, you know, when does 2 this become a reality so we could finally put 3 this project in place and be done with it 4 because a lot of people come and speak about 5 it. So I'm glad to see it. But I'd like some 6 more information as to when and how it's going 7 to be funded. 8 So last week I brought up a 9 situation or it was an issue that was brought 10 to my attention with, you know, one of the 11 newly painted crosswalks were dug up by a 12 utility company. And I just wanted to, you 13 know, clarification as to if, you know, that 14 was the original thought process when they put 15 all of these out, which was, you know, there's 16 400 of them. 17 So when it's a utility -- so I did 18 get some information. I'm glad -- I want to 19 reshare it out to the public that Pennsylvania 20 American Water -- and this is regarding the 21 North Webster and East Gibson Street crosswalk 22 that was, you know, affected -- will be 23 replaced with an overlay to the PAWC 24 Waterwork's schedule to take place in October. 25 On a side note, OECD monitors PA One  58 1 Call for dig scheduled by all utilities and 2 ensures proper permitting with the city takes 3 place along with the follow up of requirements 4 that does include restoring within 30 days of 5 work completion. 6 And this restoration includes 7 crosswalks and road markings. All right. So 8 I'm glad to hear that's the case. But I'm also 9 glad and rely on the eyes of our residents to 10 bring these to our attention. And I thank them 11 and knowing this now, you know, this is 12 probably going to happen more than this one 13 episode. 14 I heard there's more. But I don't 15 know exactly where they are. Don't be afraid 16 to reach out to us or 311 to help us remind 17 everybody involved that, you know, whose 18 responsibility it is and these get corrected. 19 So thank you again. 20 After asking a couple times about a 21 study for the -- traffic study for the Wright 22 Center because of the, you know, the traffic 23 trailer -- the tractor-trailers that were 24 impeding driveway traffic to and from the 25 facility.  59 1 So we did get back that Reilly and 2 Associates, our City Engineer will recommend no 3 parking on the east side of South Washington 4 Avenue from Birch Street to Hickory Street to 5 provide for adequate sight distance at the 6 Wright Center driveways at Birch Street 7 intersection and Hickory Street intersection 8 and keep the trucks from parking on the bridge. 9 So we're going to get some actual 10 legislation forth coming to take care of that. 11 Also, the issue with Porta Potty that was in 12 stagnant water which is very dangerous. And 13 that was part of the issue that Mr. Coyne 14 brought up last week. 15 I know some of that was rectified, 16 which is great on McDonough and up in that 17 area. So the response I got is the Parks 18 Department requested that the Porta Potty 19 vendor inspect the equipment. So, you know, 20 they -- obviously they have to move it. 21 And that's fair enough. What else 22 do I have? I think that's actually -- that's 23 it. Thank you very much. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 25 First, I want to thank Mr. Pilger for cleaning  60 1 up South Side and your hundreds of pounds of 2 garbage that you have picked up. I know I have 3 seen you out at night and that concerns me a 4 bit. 5 So your reflective clothing and gear 6 and stuff is great, but maybe stay into the 7 lower traffic streets at night. Pittston 8 Avenue, it's hard to see and traffic is really, 9 really quick there. But thank you for 10 everything you've done and keep it up. 11 The other first Friday we had this 12 week. Everyone that came into City Hall got to 13 go through the entire inside, all the new stain 14 glass, the carpet, the building is cleaned up. 15 And it actually is buttoned up tight now. No 16 more leaks. 17 And that is finally, finally 18 finished. I think this building has been 19 leaking for 20 years. But it is all sealed up. 20 And that brings me to the slate pieces from the 21 roof. We do have pieces of slate from the roof 22 that are available. 23 And the city put a tag on them and 24 it explains what it's from. So if anybody 25 would like one of those, you could come and  61 1 pick it up because I don't think we could mail 2 it. But you could contact Mr. Voldenberg at 3 Council -- City Council office on our website. 4 And anybody is welcome to them. We have a 5 bunch of them. So just call ahead, make sure 6 we have it ready and then you could come and 7 pick it up. 8 And also, we mentioned the lights at 9 Nay Aug Park. And last year we paid to have it 10 done. And this year, the city is back to 11 putting them up. Parks and Recs employees will 12 be putting those back up this year. And I 13 believe Mr. Gattens, I spoke with him this 14 morning. 15 He still wants to put some of the 16 lights up outside and have some of the 17 neighborhood groups, some of the boy scouts, 18 girl scouts that used to come and put these 19 all -- change the bulbs and do all that. He 20 wants to do that again. 21 I'm assuming that that would be 22 announced up at -- up at the park. Norma will 23 probably be announcing it. Right, Norma? And 24 next week our public caucus, you want to know 25 about all the traffic studies and all of that,  62 1 the city will be here to discuss all of that. 2 So maybe come and if you have any 3 questions -- Mr. Voldenberg, if they send 4 questions, will you get them to Council so that 5 we will have what they want to know before -- 6 because they could not interact while the city 7 is here giving their report. 8 So maybe if we have their questions 9 ahead of time we could use that and get some of 10 their questions answered also. 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all. 13 Fifth Order. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR 15 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE 16 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO 17 APPLY FOR AND EXECUTE A GRANT FOR THE 18 REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE CAPITAL PROGRAM (RACP) 19 THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S 20 OFFICE OF THE BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT SIX HUNDRED 21 THIRTY TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE 22 ($632,329.00) DOLLARS; ACCEPTING AND DISBURSING 23 THE GRANT IF THE APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL; AND 24 COORDINATE THE USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS FOR THE 25 LACKAWANNA AVENUE STREETSCAPE PROJECT.  63 1 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 2 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced 3 into its proper committee. 4 MR. KING: So moved. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 6 MR. SMURL: On the question? 7 MR. MCANDREW: On the question, I'm 8 sorry, so on the question, Solicitor Gilbride, 9 this legislation that is up for a vote or 10 introduction, whatever, is only to authorize 11 for the city to apply for the RACP for the 12 referenced project or am I voting in favor of 13 the project as a whole also? 14 ATTY. GILBRIDE: This particular 15 legislation is approving Council's approval of 16 applying for the application for the monies to 17 be used for the project. 18 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. So my 19 understanding is the project itself will come 20 before us separately. 21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That would be my 22 understanding as well. 23 MR. MCANDREW: Can we -- well, I 24 think we could clarify that by next week 25 because they are coming in because I have a lot  64 1 of questions. I'm still not in favor of 2 switching streetlights with a stop sign. I 3 can't wrap my head around it. So I'll have 4 them questions. 5 But I just want to clarify that I'm 6 not voting for the project just, you know, the 7 funding of the overall project. 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: This is -- this 9 legislation is to apply for and execute a grant 10 for RACP funds. 11 MR. MCANDREW: I just wanted to 12 clarify. Thank you. Thank you. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: So in addition to 14 that, and it's a question for you as well, 15 Mr. Gilbride, and you may know the answer. 16 Back in the beginning of September we applied 17 for a multimodal grant in the amount of 18 $1,264,658 for this Lackawanna Avenue -- it was 19 titled bike project at that point in time. 20 Here on our agenda we had the 21 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project which is 22 a match fund of $632,329 which ends up 23 equalling $1,264,658. So this is a duplicate 24 of that multimodal grant, right? This is 25 looking for -- this is putting out multiple  65 1 grants for the same project; is that correct? 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I wouldn't -- I 3 don't know the answer to that question. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. 5 MR. KING: 50 percent match. I 6 could be wrong. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Correct. So we put 8 out a multimodal for this -- for that 1.2 9 million at the beginning of the month. And now 10 we're putting in this which is a match. So, 11 yes, this grant is a match fund. But it is 12 same amount. 13 The projects -- this one is called 14 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project. 15 However, the last one was called the bike 16 project. It's the same amount of money for the 17 same -- I believe the same project. When we 18 ask questions about streetlights at the 19 beginning of the month, what was stated was 20 that they were not street -- they were not 21 traffic lights. 22 But they were streetlights that were 23 going to be replaced on Lackawanna Avenue. 24 However, this document here does have traffic 25 lights in it, looks like at least 15 locations  66 1 in the city. 2 I'll move it forward tonight. But 3 we'll hear from the administration on this. 4 But this is just for the city to go out for the 5 grant funding for the project. 6 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Correct. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I just 8 wanted to make that stated. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 10 Anyone else? All those in favor of 11 introduction signify by saying aye. 12 MR. KING: Aye. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 15 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 16 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 17 have it and so moved. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR 19 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE 20 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO 21 APPLY FOR AND EXECUTE A GRANT FOR THE 22 REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE CAPITAL PROGRAM (RACP) 23 THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S 24 OFFICE OF THE BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF TWO 25 MILLION SEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED THIRTY  67 1 EIGHT ($2,007,938.00) DOLLARS; ACCEPTING AND 2 DISBURSING THE GRANT IF THE APPLICATION IS 3 SUCCESSFUL; AND COORDINATE THE USE OF THE GRANT 4 FUNDS FOR THE NAY AUG WATERWAY - PHASE 2. 5 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 6 entertain a motion that Item 5-C be introduced 7 into its proper committee. 8 MR. MCANDREW: So moved. 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 10 MR. SMURL: On the question? 11 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, 12 Mr. Voldenberg, you're going to get us that 13 estimated remaining cost on this project. And 14 again, just to make it stated, this body here 15 was who added the deeper lap pool into the 16 design at Nay Aug. We were all in agreement 17 with that. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, we 20 did have this discussion in caucus and I had 21 brought up a couple of those questions like 22 asking for what the remaining cost is of the 23 project. 24 I've encountered some residents and 25 people who frequent Nay Aug and wanted updates  68 1 on it having seen the completion of Phase 1 but 2 wanting to know the status of Phase 2. So if 3 we could get any additional information on 4 where we stand with Phase 2, hopefully they're 5 successful in getting this grant. 6 There's the 50 percent match in it. 7 And then we'll have it funded and would like to 8 know the estimate of when it would also begin 9 and be underway. And I also want to echo that 10 Council will make sure that this Phase 2 is 11 completed and that there is a lap pool. 12 I know because of Phase 1 being done 13 and not seeing the lap pool there, people 14 wondered if it would be happening or not. But 15 we will do everything to make sure that it does 16 happen. Thank you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 18 Rothchild. All those in favor of introduction 19 signify by saying aye. 20 MR. KING: Aye. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 23 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 24 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 25 have it and so moved.  69 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: SIXTH ORDER.

PREVIOUSLY 3 TABLED - FOR CONSIDERATION - BY THE COMMITTEE 4 ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - FOR ADOPTION - 5 RESOLUTION NO. 264, 2025, ACCEPTING THE 6 RECOMMENDATION OF THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURAL 7 REVIEW BOARD AND DENYING THE CERTIFICATE OF 8 APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A 9 DIGITAL BILLBOARD LOCATED AT 141 JEFFERSON 10 AVENUE. 11 MR. SMURL: What is the 12 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 13 Committee on Community Development? 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: As Chairperson for 15 the Committee on Community Development, I 16 recommend final passage of Item 7-C. 17 MR. KING: Second. 18 MR. SMURL: On the question? 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I 20 just want to make note of it. I didn't hear 21 anyone else mention it. But we did receive 22 some more information from HARB or from the 23 Solicitor or HARB. 24 There were some concerns last week 25 about the validity of the vote because of  72 1 the -- if there was a quorum or not, 2 essentially for their meeting. And they said 3 that there was and that there were five members 4 currently sitting on the HARB and three of them 5 were present which is over the -- which is the 6 50 percent needed. 7 MR. SMURL: Yes. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: So I just wanted to 9 make note of that. I also wanted to mention 10 that in regards to this, I'm going to vote yes 11 to uphold the HARB's decision. I think that 12 by if we weren't to and we were to allow more 13 of the digital billboards, it would be a 14 slippery slope and that more and more people 15 would be seeking digital billboards downtown. 16 And I'd hate to see it become 17 basically a place where there are a lot of 18 those. And I believe in maintaining the 19 historical nature of our downtown. And we had 20 received as well that the one that they 21 mentioned at Boccardo's Jewelers, that 22 billboard, that's been there over 20 years. 23 And that was prior to the 24 designation for that being a historic section, 25 so that being why they have one and HARB had  73 1 denied this location from having one. So 2 that's all I have. Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 4 Rothchild. 5 MR. KING: On the question, I think 6 Attorney Gilbride answered my question during 7 caucus. There is an ordinance designating that 8 section of the city as historical section of 9 the city, which prohibits having electronic 10 billboards. 11 True, there are certain sections of 12 the city where some digital billboards exist. 13 But they were grandfathered in prior to that -- 14 those areas being designated as historical. So 15 that's why I'll be voting in favor of upholding 16 the HARB's decision tonight. 17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President, can 18 I just clear something up? I don't want 19 anybody making any decision based on 20 information that may not be completely correct. 21 Mr. King, when we spoke, there is an 22 ordinance that covers HARB and designates it in 23 sections that are historic sections to offer 24 advice in regard to what should be allowed or 25 not allowed within the areas.  74 1 Under HARB's continual rulings, the 2 downtown is a historic district. Under their 3 continued rulings they had found that that 4 section, LED lights do not fit in with the 5 designation under the legislation establishes 6 HARB. That's the recommendation they've made 7 to this Council. 8 And that has been followed by this 9 Council in every vote. At least as long as I'm 10 here, I haven't seen any otherwise. So just so 11 you understand the ordinance establishes HARB. 12 HARB makes recommendations to this Council. 13 Council then votes on whether or not to approve 14 the certificate of appropriateness. 15 In all cases today with regard to 16 the LED lights, this Council has voted 17 unanimously not to allow them in the historic 18 district downtown. 19 MR. KING: Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: All right. Roll call, 21 please. 22 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King. 23 MR. KING: Yes. 24 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.  75 1 MS.
