17 Jeffries sitting back there. Norma, will you
18 come up to the front here? We want to do a --
19 award you a proclamation. Council people, come
20 down. You have to stand by me. I will begin
21 it.
22 WHEREAS, the COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
23 SCRANTON is desirous of honoring NORMA
24 JEFFRIES, one of nine children born to the late

3 Jayden; and
4 WHEREAS, NORMA was born and raised
5 in Scranton, educated in the Scranton School
6 District and attended Lackawanna Business
7 College; and
8 WHEREAS, NORMA worked at Samter's
9 and later at Bell Telephone. When she and
10 Charles married, they moved to Philadelphia and
11 New Jersey where Norma continued to work for
12 the phone company and furthered her education
13 at Arcadia University and Drexel University;
14 and
15 WHEREAS, after Charles passed away,
16 NORMA, moved back to Scranton after a 36 year
17 absence; and
18 WHEREAS, NORMA became renowned for
19 her immediate community involvement having
20 chaired food drives, served as the secretary of
21 the Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority,
22 member of the Shade Tree Commission, worked on
23 organizing the Electric City Flower Show;
24 regularly attends Prison Board meetings and
25 volunteers at the Lackawanna County Prison; and
5
1 WHEREAS, NORMA became a frequent
2 citizen contributor at weekly Scranton City
3 Council meetings where she pushed for street
4 sign replacement; and
5 WHEREAS, NORMA is a faithful member
6 of the Grace Bible Church where she regularly
7 attends Sunday services; and
8 WHEREAS, NORMA, through her daily
9 acts of kindness to her fellow man, has made
10 our City a better place; and
11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that
12 on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2025, Scranton City
13 Council wishes to congratulate NORMA JEFFRIES
14 for her daily acts of kindness and her
15 community involvement.
16 MS. JEFFRIES: Thank you.
17 MR. SMURL: Actually we'd like to
18 give you a small token of appreciation for all
19 of your work.
20 MAYOR COGNETTI: Miss Norma, thank
21 you for everything that you have done for our
22 community. I think we can see, hear, and feel
23 that in this room tonight. We really
24 appreciate you. I will not read all of this.
25 Isaiah put together a novel about your life.
6
1 So we will send this with you, a proclamation
2 from me as well.
3 But, Councilman Smurl, great idea
4 with this sign. We are proud to have almost
5 5,000 new signs. But you're pushing -- but
6 that's the most special one. We will miss you
7 dearly. I know you need to go and be with
8 those beautiful grand baby boys. But we will
9 miss you here. So don't forget us, okay?
10 MS. JEFFRIES: Thank you. You know,
11 it's bitter sweet leaving. And I've got two
12 grandsons, Jasper and Jayden. And we do
13 FaceTime like crazy, but there's nothing like
14 being there in person and getting those hugs
15 and the peeks into my room when I'm there.
16 I'm not going to be living with
17 them. I have my own place. I love them to
18 death, but I have my own place. And I think
19 back to the first time I came to Council, a
20 meeting. And I thought, oh, dear, you know,
21 what's this about?
22 But it wasn't long before I wanted
23 to know what town was it that I was moving back
24 to. You know, I was coming back to Scranton.
25 But I didn't know anything about Scranton. So
7
1 I figured the best way to learn is to get out
2 there.
3 And one of my prayers was that I
4 would become involved and learn and meet new
5 friends and people. And the Lord has answered
6 that prayer because look at all the people
7 here, you know. So I thank you all for coming.
8 All the groups that I have been a part of are
9 here and I appreciate that. So thank you.
10 MR. SMURL: Okay. We'll call the
11 meeting to order, please. We'll call the
12 meeting to order. Thank you. Dispense with
13 the reading of the minutes.
14 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

1 REPORT FOR OCTOBER 17, 2024 THROUGH OCTOBER 10,
2 2025.
3 MR. 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 quickly. This past
8 weekend was of the 28th Steamtown Marathon. It
9 was extremely successful. We had runners from
10 all over the country, 1,035 registered. And
11 the runners absolutely had a great experience.
12 That's thanks to all the volunteers
13 from Forest City to Scranton, literally several
14 thousand. But I truly want to thank the
15 Scranton Police Department, the DPW, our city
16 administration who helped out and allowed us to
17 close down a few streets for a few hours to
18 help make sure that the runners were safe.
19 But everyone I spoke to absolutely
20 had a great experience and loved being here in
21 our city. So I just want to thank everyone who
22 was involved and all the citizen volunteers as
23 well. So thank you.
24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.
25 Anyone else? No? So I have one. This one is
9
1 for join the Friends of Nay Aug Park to step up
2 for Nay Aug on Sunday, October 19th, 2025, from
3 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nay Aug Park. This is a
4 free community event.
5 It invites everyone to enjoy a walk
6 through the park while supporting, preservation
7 and enhancement of one of Scranton's most
8 beloved landmarks that they will feature live
9 music, face and pumpkin painting for kids, food
10 trucks, local vendors, all sponsored by
11 generous local business and patrons.
12 Proceeds and donations from the
13 event will benefit ongoing efforts to maintain
14 and improve the park for future generations.
15 So bring the whole family out for a day of
16 fresh air, fall fun, community pride, all in
17 support of Nay Aug Park's lasting legacy.
18 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.
19 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
20 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.
21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,
22 Scranton. Today is October 4th. When will the
23 draft budget for next year be released for
24 public review?
25 MR. SMURL: On the 14th?
10
1 MR. KING: No, today the 14th.
2 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm sorry, October
3 14th. When will it be released for public
4 review?
5 MR. KING: I think about another
6 week.
7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Another week.
8 MR. SMURL: Yeah, maybe, maybe.
9 MS. HODOWANITZ: And remind you, if
10 possible, please send a copy to the public
11 library. Unlike City Hall, the public library
12 is always open and people could get in there to
13 look at the document. It's a little harder to
14 get in here although Frank does a wonderful job
15 when you ask him for help.
16 Okay, let's talk about the elephant
17 in the room. This streetscape thing and I
18 understand part two will be continued next
19 week. You remember when I did the study for
20 the Council where I went around to every of
21 those pedestrian push buttons crossings and I
22 noted which ones didn't work and all the little
23 problems they had, I remember when they put in
24 the current traffic system -- what was it, 20,
25 25 years ago?
11
1 And, you know, the intent was to
2 move traffic through the downtown area faster.
3 And they put in these buttons so that when you
4 wanted to cross, you know, you could see the
5 white figure and everything else. And I have
6 this terrible feeling that whatever they do
7 with the streetscape project, God help us if
8 they don't commit to maintaining it, number
9 one, okay.
10 I mean, how many great ideas have we
11 had and then, you know, it falls into disrepair
12 or whatever. Anything they do right, wrong, or
13 indifferent whether you agree with them or not,
14 they need to commit to long-term maintenance.
15 If they're not going to do that, make no
16 changes, okay, because I'm tired of it.
17 Number two, I understand that they
18 talked to the hotels and the banks and the
19 hospitals and the fire department and the
20 police department and the developers and a
21 whole litany of people and the business owners.
22 And they talked to the Center For
23 Independent Living. Keith Williams is great,
24 okay. But I saw no effort to go down to the
25 high rises and the other newly renovated
12
1 apartments and talk to the residents who walk
2 the downtown area day after day.
3 I haven't had a car since 2012. And
4 I walk everywhere downtown every day. And I
5 could tell you it's not just malfunctioning
6 buttons and it's not just, you know, the
7 traffic lights. It's the drivers who are glued
8 to their cell phones not paying attention to
9 anything, the traffic lights, other cars.
10 And we don't really hold drivers
11 accountable for breaking the law. We don't.
12 You know, I mean, at worst they get a slap on
13 the wrist. And, you know, I mean, they get
14 more discipline if they failed to pay their
15 parking fines than if they, you know, run a
16 pedestrian over. It's bad, okay?
17 I wish that the people who were here
18 for the caucus had stayed to listen to comments
19 by the general public, okay, because if they're
20 not going to come to us and ask us for our
21 opinions, those of who pay taxes -- and I do
22 pay property taxes even though I don't own
23 property. I pay them, okay, for family
24 member -- those of us who pay property taxes
25 and live in the downtown area what we think.
13
1 You know, it's not easy when you
2 have a problem with arthritis and you have a
3 bad day and you're using a cane or a walker and
4 you're trying to cross a street, any street,
5 traffic lights, stop sign. It doesn't make a
6 difference. I ended up in the ER this month.
7 And I had to go on steroids.
8 And a five minute walk from Samter's
9 to the Cathedral was now 15 minutes. You
10 should have seen me trying to cross the street
11 and getting the honking horns and the fingers
12 and everything else. But I'm still telling
13 you, there are questions.
14 And one of the people -- one of the
15 stakeholders that I don't think was included
16 was the disabled and elderly people who live in
17 the downtown high rises. We pay taxes and we
18 have opinions. Thank you.
19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Les
20 Spindler.
21 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,
22 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,
23 homeowner. Driving around the city I see all
24 of these beautiful new crosswalks painted. All
25 I want to know is, how does that make it safer
14
1 for anybody to cross the street? Crickets.
2 MR. KING: Far more visible.
3 MR. SCHUSTER: There is also more
4 questions to be asked next week when they come
5 in.
6 MR. SPINDLER: Yeah, how does it
7 make it safer just because it's nice white
8 crosswalks?
9 MR. KING: Because it sticks out
10 more. It makes it more visible for drivers.
11 Plus they're going to have to stop at the stop
12 sign.
13 MR. SPINDLER: I don't know. I
14 think it's a waste of time. And I asked for a
15 couple lines to be painted on Euclid Avenue
16 coming down Main Avenue so people could make a
17 right turn instead of waiting for people on
18 your left and nothing happened there.
19 About this streetscape project, I
20 still haven't heard them answer the question
21 that I asked at Lackawanna College how are
22 visually impaired people going to know how to
23 cross the street or when to cross? Did they
24 answer that question?
25 MR. KING: We didn't get a chance to
15
1 ask it because it ended early. But we do have
2 a letter from -- I believe.
3 DR. ROTHCHILD: They did answer it.
4 They said that there would be audio cues if
5 someone is visually impaired then. And it's
6 also motion sensitive.
7 MR. SPINDLER: How do those cues
8 come on?
9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Because there's a
10 motion sensor so when it detects the pedestrian
11 at the intersection, then that's when it will
12 cue it.
13 MR. SPINDLER: I could see that
14 failing. Anyway --
15 MR. KING: Blind Association.
16 MR. SMURL: Billy, I've got it.
17 Blind Association?
18 MR. KING: Yeah, there's a letter of
19 support from the Blind Association.
20 MR. SPINDLER: Anyway, I think 5-B
21 should be tabled until January when a new
22 Council takes over because I know three of you
23 up there that are the majority are going to do
24 what the Mayor wants you to do and you're going
25 to pass this through. And I think it's the
16
1 most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.
2 MR. KING: I'm going to do what I
3 want to do.
4 MR. SPINDLER: What we have to do
5 come three weeks today in November, November
6 4th is elect a new Council supermajority like
7 we did when Janet Evans was President of
8 Council. We elected a supermajority, took
9 Chris Doherty's checkbook away from him and
10 stopped all of his ridiculous BS, which was
11 borrowing and spending.
12 He almost borrowed and spent this
13 city into bankruptcy. And you people named a
14 park after him. That's ridiculous. I think
15 this legislation should be tabled for new
16 Council next year and voted on then. But I
17 know you people won't do it because you listen
18 to what the Mayor tells you. Thank you for
19 your time.
20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan.
21 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,
22 Lee Morgan. The first thing I have here is the
23 federal courts I think they close in a couple
24 more days because of the budget didn't pass.
25 But I would just like to share the fact that I
17
1 haven't done it yet, but the little bit of
2 discovery I did with ECTV is basically proved
3 my point.
4 So I think if I do a request for
5 summary judgment, the guy -- the judge is
6 probably Democrat; but I don't see why I
7 couldn't win because I proved everything that
8 I've alleged.
9 And, you know, it's sad when a
10 government works the way this city's government
11 works by stifling free speech and stopping
12 residents from having access to the public
13 access channel where an issue like this could
14 be discussed.
15 I'm totally and 100 percent against
16 this project. And I think all somebody has to
17 do is go up Mulberry Street and see what
18 happened at the University of Scranton. I'm
19 amazed that none of those children got run over
20 in the street. And they're young adults.
21 But narrowing Mulberry Street was a
22 mistake, doing all the silly things we went up
23 there and did by the University of Scranton was
24 a mistake, especially if you grew up on the
25 Hill like I did.
18
1 And when you look at this project,
2 I'd like to ask every Scrantonian to go up to
3 Nay Aug Park and look for the millions and
4 millions of dollars that Chris Doherty spent
5 there. When you find them, let us know where
6 they are.
7 Okay, because, the big problem we
8 have here is that we had studies. And those
9 studies put those lights there. And they
10 structured traffic flow through the downtown.
11 And it really seems to work extremely well.
12 But we've got to spend millions and millions of
13 dollars.
14 And we've got to come up with a way
15 to justify it. And the harm we're going to do
16 to the city is beyond ridiculous. And adding
17 67 more parking spaces to help fund a failed
18 Parking Authority isn't going to help the
19 residents.
20 What we really need to do is in this
21 city -- I'm glad my children aren't here. I'm
22 glad I got them all to leave the city. Okay,
23 what we need is to build light industry
24 infrastructure in the city. We need to start
25 building an economic engine in the city to give
19
1 young adults an opportunity to have a leg up.
2 What we've done in this city is move
3 in a way for the next generation where they
4 won't be able to earn a decent living and lift
5 this city up because for too long we've elected
6 Democrats here. And they thought that the
7 poorer they made the city, the more federal and
8 state funds they get here.
9 And they have done a really good job
10 of it. You know, you'd have to be me as a
11 child growing up -- well, in lower Green Ridge
12 and in the Hill watching what happened to Adams
13 Avenue as they tore all of that down. You
14 know, and then you look at the project that
15 Chris Doherty wants to do with Hilltop, all
16 public money, okay?
17 But all the politicians and their
18 families are living good. It's the ordinary
19 people that can't pay their water and their
20 sewer bills. And we all know that the City of
21 Scranton mismanaged the Sewer Authority.
22 And when you look at this project
23 how they are getting ready to change all these
24 streets from one way to two way, remember one
25 thing. They didn't get any wider. Okay, and
20
1 now when people cross the street they'll have
2 to look for traffic in two directions.
3 And when you talk about people not
4 stopping, I don't know, a light's more
5 conducive to a car stopping than a sign. Okay,
6 and the crosswalks, like I said, go up to the
7 Hill and look. Watch those young people walk
8 across those streets. Even the speed limit is
9 reduced and the road is narrowed there.
10 Terrible decision by the city.
11 All those young adults should be
12 crossing under the roadway. There should be
13 tunnels built under the roadway to cross those
14 children across -- well, young adults across
15 those streets. We've made some very poor
16 decisions and this Mayor, we could spend 15
17 million dollars.
18 We could spend millions and millions
19 of dollars. But it's not increasing the
20 quality of life for the residents who live
21 here. But it's making certain people rich,
22 okay, and we've got to do something different
23 here.
24 And politics, the Democrats are the
25 party of keeping the people down. I explained
21
1 that to you last week. They were against
2 everything in the 60s that empowered people.
3 The Republicans drove it all. That's probably
4 why Martin Luther King was a Republican.
5 Okay, and we need to do something
6 different here. We need to vote that down and
7 think.
8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Bob Bolus.
9 MR. BOLUS: Bob Bolus, Scranton.
10 Tonight, I'm here to honor Charlie Kirk on his
11 birthday. It's October 14th. His birthday is
12 the same as mine. It's the same as General
13 Dwight Eisenhower.
14 It goes back onto who we are and
15 fortunately I'm proud to say that today is my
16 birthday and his also. But it's unfortunately,
17 you know, he wasn't here to receive the medal
18 from President Trump the Freedom Medal for what
19 he did.
20 Contrary, his life was cut short by
21 a queer's assassin bullet. Yet outside on the
22 poll again, we have the queer flag that we're
23 honoring again. I already have litigation
24 against it. It's going to the state Supreme
25 Court. And eventually those flags are not
22
1 going to be on our building.
2 They're not going to be honored, not
3 when you're an assassin and you kill people and
4 you think you should be honored, no way in
5 hell. Today I was honored to have received
6 from the President of the United States a
7 personal signed birthday card from the
8 President for everything I've done in the
9 community and around the country. And I
10 couldn't have been prouder to have received
11 that today.
12 And being from Scranton, getting
13 that -- the next thing I want to see is Biden
14 signs gone. And we're in the middle of
15 litigation to get rid of him too. It's time we
16 bring the city back.
17 I'm still, like I said, appealing
18 the queer flags on City Hall. But the Mayor
19 came from Portland. There was a queer bar on
20 every street. I spent a lot of time in Oregon.
21 So I know what I'm doing.
22 And her direction to spend millions
23 and millions of dollars in this city and this
24 county is an absurdity. I watched the stupid
25 thing over the streets. It's the dumbest thing
23
1 I ever saw.
2 What you should do is talk to the
3 Fire Chief and the Police Chief and get a list
4 of all the accidents that have happened and
5 pedestrian hits. Then you know where to start.
6 That's the formula they need to start at, not
7 this rich wish list that somebody wants to make
8 one-way streets again.
9 We are we already learned in the
10 past that one-way streets suck in the city.
11 You're putting bicycle path onto Wyoming
12 Avenue. But the other day I'm going down
13 there, here's a moron coming the wrong way on
14 his bicycle.
15 So how do you account that you are
16 going to prevent stupidity? It's not going to
17 happen. And people will run a red light.
18 They'll just as well run a damn stop sign. It
19 don't make a difference. So what I saw here
20 today -- and I've been all over the world.
21 I got millions of miles and over the
22 road drivers, the tractor-trailer drivers and
23 the companies I had, I spent time on the
24 Montdale truck racing track over 250 miles an
25 hour.
24
1 And when I -- born and raised in
2 this city and I see people go through stop
3 signs, not pay attention to anybody. I see
4 dumb people walking in the crosswalks and not
5 even pay attention what the hell they're
6 looking at.
7 So what I saw here tonight is an
8 absolute joke. Talk to the chiefs and then get
9 a list of all the accidents that really
10 happened here and see if this is warranted.
11 You're never going to change stupidity. I
12 don't care what you do.
13 And you're not going to change dumb
14 drivers just like during the King's rally, I
15 had a moron drive up the right side of the
16 trailer as I was making a right-hand turn, pure
17 stupidity. And you're not going to change it.
18 And then the last thing is, I think
19 it's beneficial to everybody to know we filed a
20 suit against the tax assessor to prevent him
21 from certifying the tax assessment. Gaughan
22 stated the Commissioners have nothing to do
23 with it. It's up to the assessor.
24 Well, Mr. Assessor, guess what?
25 It's going to be a long day in hell before
25
1 you're able to certify the assessment or the
2 tax increase and screw the people in this
3 community. And I'm proud to say I'm the one
4 orchestrating it.
5 And I'm proud to say we're going to
6 bring Scranton back where it belongs. And
7 we're going to put government where it belongs.
8 And I'm happy to see the Mayor running like
9 she's running. I can't wait until she loses
10 both seats and we bring Scranton back where the
11 hell it belongs. Thank you.
12 MR. SMURL: Thank you.
13 MR. BOLUS: And I have to leave now.
14 I'm real late for my dinner. Thank you.
15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Glynis
16 Johns.
17 MS. JOHNS: Good evening, Council,
18 Glynis Johns, founder and CEO of the Black
19 Scranton Project. I just wanted to come up
20 here and congratulate Miss Norma Jeffries again
21 on the proclamation. She is a wonderful,
22 wonderful woman and a fixture here in the City
23 of Scranton.
24 I just kind of wanted to bring it
25 full circle for myself back here in the
26
1 chambers and share with the people here, many
2 of whom I've seen over the past coming up on a
3 decade now.
4 The first time I came to these
5 chambers for a City Council meeting, Miss Norma
6 was here and she taught me all of the basic
7 rules about how City Council works, how I sign
8 my name up to speak, you know, where to sit and
9 all things who everybody was on Council at the
10 time.
11 And it was really valuable and made
12 me feel very comfortable to come here and sit
13 every week during that time. This was like
14 2016, 2017 up until, like, 2020 almost I was
15 coming often. And she just really made a big
16 impact.
17 As you could see, sometimes it's a
18 little intimidating to come up here and say the
19 things you want to say to Council, to the city,
20 or sitting among some of the residents here.
21 But she was always very welcoming and she
22 always gave great ideas on how to participate
23 in city politics.
24 So I just wanted to come up there
25 and say again, thank you to the city for
27
1 recognizing her but also to again put it into a
2 community perspective how much she's valuable
3 to the people in community, not only just that;
4 but she helped me as I got prepared to create
5 my nonprofit.
6 She comes to a lot of our events.
7 She gives great ideas. And she's constantly
8 helping everyone regardless of their age,
9 regardless of their standing. She wants to
10 be -- she wants to be someone who helps people
11 love our city and participate in all that we
12 have going on.
13 So I just wanted to give that little
14 message. And while I'm standing up here, I
15 wanted to give a shameless plug. Black
16 Scranton Project has two events this week.
17 We're partnering with WVIA this Thursday, a
18 watch party for a documentary that's premiering
19 Thursday night at 7 p.m.
20 It's called Making NEPA Home, which
21 kind of ties into what we're saying. So we
22 will be starting our watch party at Black
23 Scranton Project Center for Arts and Culture at
24 6:30. It starts at 7 -- the show. And we will
25 just be talking about the film and also the
28
1 people that were involved in the documentary
2 will be at our space as well.
3 That is 1902 North Main Avenue,
4 Scranton in North Scranton. And then also this
5 Saturday, we have a journaling workshop that's
6 open to all ages. It's called I love myself,
7 silencing negative self-talk, which I know a
8 lot of us can use some support in that.
9 So it's a free event from 12 to 2 at
10 our Center For Arts and Culture. We'll be
11 working with Jennifer Aleke'. She does a lot
12 of wellness practices. So we'll be giving some
13 journaling prompts, meditation, and just some
14 affirmations to bring a little of positivity
15 and community into your day.
16 So if you are interested, more
17 information at Blackscranton.org or you could
18 follow us on social media. And again, thank
19 you, Council, for listening to me and everyone
20 here. And again congratulations to Miss Norma
21 Jeffries for being such an amazing woman for
22 everyone here and not just in Scranton but
23 Northeastern PA. Thank you.
24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Leonard
25 Holzman.
29
1 MR. HOLZMAN: Hello. Thank you for
2 letting me come and speak to you, City Council.
3 I live over on the 1700 block of Sanderson
4 Avenue in Green Ridge. And I've owned property
5 there since 1987.
6 My wife had a preschool there on the
7 corner. And then I bought 1757 Sanderson
8 Avenue. And we moved there when I retired,
9 moved back to the city. In 1987 when I bought
10 1759 Sanderson Avenue for my wife's preschool,
11 I did have to do a lot of work remodeling.
12 And the first thing I realized that
13 the intersection of where 1700 block, 600 block
14 of Electric Street and the 1800 block of
15 Sanderson Avenue is a very, very dangerous
16 intersection.
17 I have been complaining and asking
18 for help for -- to do something in regards to
19 the safety issues of that intersection. One,
20 we have a tremendous amount of accidents there.
21 We have one stop sign on the Electric Street
22 and none on the 1700 block and the 1800 block
23 of Sanderson. Another is to make that a
24 three-way stop sign to better traffic control
25 there.
30
1 We have accidents, T-boned accidents
2 there. I could spend an hour and a half
3 telling you about how the seriousness of the
4 accidents. It's amazing that no one has been
5 killed. But people have been hauled out of
6 there in ambulances.
7 And cars have been totally
8 destroyed. Now, you have to visualize we're
9 right in the business section district of Green
10 Ridge there how small it is and how cars could
11 come back through there so fast and demolish
12 each other.
13 I've scene three and four cars --
14 two and three cars totally demolished and the
15 people hauled out of there in ambulances over
16 the years.
17 Well, last year with the help of
18 Bill Gaughan, I wrote a letter to City Council
19 and to the Mayor in regards to our safety
20 issues there and asked for help. And basically
21 I haven't gotten anywhere. In all of these
22 years that I've been complaining to different
23 people and asking, it just goes nowhere.
24 We need -- one thing I was very
25 happy to see is that they're putting these
31
1 pedestrian crosswalks through -- all through
2 the city. And I think it's beautiful. But I
3 have been after them to have them across
4 Electric Street and Sanderson Avenue as people
5 try to cross there to get to the bus station or
6 the bus stop to no avail.
7 I walked around here now. We have
8 Robert Morris School over there. We have
9 children coming from Electric Street. We have
10 children coming up and down Sanderson Avenue to
11 go over to the school. And they're crossing
12 roads with no crosswalks. They're not even
13 there.
14 The 700 block of Electric Street,
15 there's a (inaudible) with Electric Street.
16 And the corner of the 700 block of Electric
17 Street, does not have handicap corners. They
18 have a curb there 7 inches deep, okay. And
19 there aren't any crosswalks there.
20 Now I thought that was mandatory.
21 And they have going through all the -- you
22 know, all the other corners were done but not
23 there. There's no crosswalks there. The kids
24 coming up from the 700 -- even side of the 700
25 block of Sanderson Avenue and going up Electric
32
1 Street to go over to Robert Morris School, they
2 have to cross over Electric Street.
3 There are no crosswalks there for
4 these kids and families. You see these parents
5 trying to get across here and to go over. The
6 next block down on the side of -- on Boulevard
7 Avenue, there's a street there -- Columbia
8 Street that runs along Robert Morris School,
9 there aren't any crosswalks there.
10 Those kids are walking across those
11 streets without the crosswalks. Green Ridge
12 corners, Market Street and Sanderson Avenue,
13 they're all gone. They had been there but they
14 are not there anymore. They have to be done.
15 Now, I've seen what they've been
16 doing in the rest of the city and it's
17 wonderful. But nothing was happening here.
18 And I have been asking for years for this to be
19 done just on our block there because of the --
20 the traffic.
21 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, will
22 you please request a traffic study for the
23 intersection he speaks of? And definitely
24 follow up with crosswalks. They're everywhere.
25 So they need to be there.
33
1 MR. KING: Are you looking for a
2 stop sign coming down Sanderson as you get to
3 Electric Street?
4 MR. HOLZMAN: Yes, what I'm
5 looking -- what I'm asking for and I've been
6 asking for years --
7 MR. KING: I know you want
8 crosswalks.
9 MR. SMURL: Well, let's -- Mr.
10 Voldenberg, find out first if there has been a
11 study there and if it died or what happened to
12 it. If there has not been, then we need one.
13 But we certainly need the crosswalks finished.
14 Okay? Thank you.
15 MR. HOLZMAN: My time is up.
16 MR. SMURL: Thank you.
17 MR. KING: Can you send us an e-mail
18 with your --
19 MR. SMURL: I have it.
20 MR. HOLZMAN: There was a letter
21 sent to you last year with Bill Gaughan. I
22 don't know if you still have it. Well, that
23 would help with the traffic because we have
24 people coming -- accidents there. People are
25 coming through there 50 miles an hour in a one
34
1 block area and demolishing cars. And you don't
2 do that at 25 miles.
3 MR. KING: We'll request a traffic
4 study.
5 MR. HOLZMAN: I appreciate it very
6 much. Thank you.
7 MR. KING: Thank you.
8 MR. SMURL: Ron Ellman.
9 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, Council. This
10 meeting about your downtown just absolutely
11 disgusting for me as a taxpayer. Everything is
12 for downtown with Cognetti's obsession. How
13 can you even consider spending money 60 days to
14 see what's going to happen?
15 These consultants get paid.
16 Everything is a monumental waste that you
17 people give 2 million dollars to a bunch of
18 wealthy people for parking and can't even get a
19 veteran a handicap free parking. You people
20 are just a failure for the city -- taxpayers.
21 Now, this senseless painting streets
22 all colors and everything, you'd have to be out
23 there every couple weeks spending money. Where
24 is all of this money supposed to come from?
25 Taxes are outrageous. You people are in a
35
1 dream world of Cognetti's because of this
2 obsession with -- you got a bunch of lousy tax
3 cheats downtown that support her.
4 Everything owned is a historic
5 building. They don't pay taxes on it. I pay
6 taxes. You want to hear a reality? Directly
7 across the street, a resident -- this idiot
8 wants to make a garage. He's going to the
9 zoning board.
10 It's houses next to him, houses
11 behind him, houses across the street. Who
12 knows what these morons in your zoning board,
13 they're the ones that why we have a soda farm
14 inside the city limits, hundreds of apartments
15 made. No building permits. This is the kind
16 of zoning board that I have to deal with.
17 I'll tell you, I just -- I can't
18 believe what's going on. And there's people
19 just lay here like sheep going to slaughter.
20 It's senseless. Why can't 7 million dollar
21 plan wait to November?
22 Hopefully she won't even be here in
23 November. There's two -- two people wanting
24 the job. I don't know if Trish is even in it.
25 I haven't seen her name. And Mr. Barrett,
36
1 probably 10 times the experience that she is in
2 politics.
3 But this city -- you are talking
4 about all of this money for expenditures,
5 waste. My car pays taxes to use the street.
6 Electric vehicles, you want to give half the
7 street they are not paying for to electric
8 vehicles that are completely illegal.
9 Why don't you get it through your
10 head the state says you have to be licensed,
11 insured, and inspected to be on the streets.
12 You are sitting there planning to spend all of
13 this money for illegal vehicles. That's the
14 kind of Council we got. I don't know.
15 I just think -- I just assume stay
16 at home and see what happens than coming to
17 these meetings anymore. 25, 30 years, I've
18 never seen a city go to pot like it has between
19 Biden and Cognetti.
20 It's a shame what you people have
21 allowed the city to happen at the taxpayers'
22 expense. You people don't know what goes on in
23 the city. Go down to Jackson Street, some of
24 those side streets that look like a war zone.
25 And you're talking about spending 7
37
1 million dollars downtown for a bunch of tax
2 cheats. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
3 Mr. Smurl, it's like being pregnant. You are
4 or you aren't. Are you going to vote for this?
5 MR. SMURL: Yes, I am.
6 MR. ELLMAN: What about you,
7 mister --
8 MR. SMURL: No, you can't ask
9 Council unless they want to answer.
10 MR. MCANDREW: I like some of it. I
11 don't like all.
12 MR. ELLMAN: It's part of a meeting.
13 Why can't I find out? I want to know what you
14 think. I see silence is your answer.
15 MR. MCANDREW: You'll know in
16 probably about 10 minutes.
17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Ron. Amber
18 Viola.
19 MS. VIOLA: Good evening, everyone.
20 Thank you so much, City Council. I appreciate
21 the moment to speak. I wanted to speak on
22 behalf of the Lackawanna County NAACP about
23 Miss Norma Jeffries.
24 First, I'd like to thank you guys
25 all for giving her the proclamation. That was
38
1 such just a wonderful gesture to somebody who
2 is above and beyond deserving of all the
3 accolades and recognition. We could not have
4 formed our local chapter of the NAACP without
5 Miss Norma Jeffries.
6 I came back to Scranton after being
7 in the Navy. And Miss Norma is one of the
8 first persons that I met here. And as Glynis
9 said, she kind of took me under her wing and
10 showed me around, showed me how to come to City
11 Council, be at City Hall.
12 She's one of the people who really
13 pushed me to even go out for City Council. At
14 one point she pushed me to take the job at --
15 with the Mayor, Paige Cognetti. And I am so
16 appreciative to that. She has been such a role
17 model, an example to all of the kids here and
18 young adults in this area, not just Scranton,
19 but Lackawanna County as well.
20 She is a wealth of history, a wealth
21 of knowledge. And we're going to lose so much
22 when she moves away from us. And I just wanted
23 to take an opportunity to thank her, to give
24 her her flowers while she's here because she
25 definitely deserves them.
39
1 I wanted to thank all the people who
2 came out tonight to really show their support
3 for her. If there is ever a community event,
4 Miss Norma is going to be the first person to
5 sign up. She's going to be one of the first
6 people there.
7 And she's always going to be there
8 to help. I think that she truly is an example
9 of what a public servant is. And she's an
10 example of what a public servant should be.
11 And I think that we all need to take a step
12 back and be like -- be more like Miss Norma.
13 Thank you. I appreciate the time.
14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Rik Little.
15 Rik?
16 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton. I'm
17 Rik Little. It's Taco Tuesday over at the
18 Catholic relief. And it seems that it's speed
19 bump Tuesday too. It was a surprise coming in
20 here. Anyway, all of this stuff, it's like
21 ground hog day, like same thing with the
22 parking meters.
23 You get new parking meters. You get
24 new stop signs, speed lights. Let me tell you
25 as somebody who is still alive, I see these
40
1 people pushing the buttons on those things and
2 the robot says walk. It never says anything
3 else or it says wait, you know, and you're just
4 there. You have to look both ways. You have
5 to take your life into your own hands.
6 I think there is a lot of problem
7 with Democrats at the moment. And democracy,
8 what they're talking about democracy in this
9 area because it makes no sense to me -- the
10 Home Rule Charter. Everything seems to be good
11 before we got the Home Rule Charter.
12 We had the Walsh swimming pools, you
13 know, early 70s, 80s. People remembering the
14 good times in Scranton. But it's when the, you
15 know, the office they always say, "There's no
16 party like a Scranton party." Well, the
17 Scranton party is the Democrat party here.
18 And, I mean, I was -- I got out of
19 the -- God told me to run that I have to become
20 the Mayor of Scranton. I was 71 years old.
21 I'm put out on the street after 14 and a half
22 years living at Scranton Housing Authority,
23 Adams Avenue High Rise.
24 And I look into the history of
25 everything. That building was built for the
41
1 elderly. It was built with federal funds.
2 Somewhere along the line it became like, oh,
3 well, we can -- we can dodge that, sneak
4 that. This wasn't covered by federal funds.
5 This was, you know -- and I remember, you know,
6 they put Officer Haring in jail.
7 But it's crazy how the lawyer class,
8 how the judges have taken over. And it's not
9 fair. And it's always in relation to housing,
10 you know, a person's residency and elections.
11 And that Scranton's problem. They keep going
12 on year after year.
13 And the Home Rule Charter which came
14 to Scranton in '76 and the county in '77, I
15 mean, we're at the end of the cul-de-sac.
16 Everything is decided by judges. And the
17 taxpayers are paying for the judges. And it
18 can't -- it cannot sustain.
19 And we're going to put in speed
20 bumps, but we haven't had a head of DPW for a
21 long time. It should be put in by people
22 working for the City of Scranton. That would
23 build the City of Scranton. But, no, it has to
24 be, you know, it's consultants. And we'll get
25 an outside contractor.
42
1 We'll buy it from someplace in New
2 York to do it. I'm -- I ended up here totally
3 living on Social Security. And the judiciary
4 evicted me because they're running a Democrat
5 voting farm. I could see this immediately when
6 I moved in.
7 Everything was criminalized.
8 Everything was for some insurance thing. And
9 there was a fire every week. And then I meet
10 people, oh, I'm working for Matt Cartwright's
11 office and I got a free apartment. Well, I'm
12 homeless. And I'm standing under the Dunder
13 Mifflin building thinking about history,
14 thinking about Thomas Mifflin who signed the
15 Continental Congress thing in PA.
16 There's a great history here. But
17 they have not kept their end of the bargain in
18 Lackawanna. And no one -- Scranton, the things
19 of Scranton aren't Scranton's anymore. And
20 that's why I encourage you to vote for me on
21 the AA mission from God party for Mayor of
22 Scranton this November 4th. And the debate is
23 this Thursday.
24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all
25 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else like to
43
1 address Council?
2 MS. KOLOSKY: Doris Kolosky,
3 Scranton resident. First, I thank you all for
4 giving Norma that beautiful proclamation and
5 the street sign. She totally, totally
6 deserved. Okay, I'm going to ask a few
7 questions about the caucus.
8 I might have missed a few things
9 because Mr. Bolus kept talking. So I did miss
10 some things. So, first of all, I was wondering
11 how many four-way stop signs are there downtown
12 versus the lights?
13 And I was wondering, who is
14 responsible to make sure that it's going to be
15 working? What happens if the internet goes
16 down? Unless I missed it, was everything
17 connected to an app and the internet for the
18 flashing lights?
19 And I know they mentioned Comcast,
20 which my Comcast internet has gone down off and
21 on. Would that be the whole thing because I
22 know when a traffic light goes out, usually
23 somebody sees it, calls the police and then
24 they come and have somebody out there directing
25 traffic.
44
1 So I was curious about that. They
2 said they were going to plant trees. And I was
3 just thinking is somebody going to take care to
4 make sure they are not blocking any of those
5 stop signs because I know in the Hill Section
6 there is quite a few stop signs that sometimes
7 you almost have to be on top of them with trees
8 blocking them.
9 And there is another thing was --
10 oh, Wyoming and Mulberry, if I'm not mistaken,
11 most of the hit and runs that I read in the
12 newspaper might have been Wyoming and Mulberry
13 where the street lines out when you come down
14 Mulberry.
15 Personally, I would like to see an
16 extra traffic light in the middle where they
17 have that grassy part just so people could get
18 halfway across and they get halfway across the
19 other way. I was happy to see that my biggest
20 concern was to let them try it out before they
21 actually did all of that stuff that was
22 addressed.
23 Okay, the other thing I wanted to
24 address was the temperature for the homeless
25 that I brought up last -- two weeks ago I think
45
1 it was. And Jessica mentioned it last week
2 because I saw it on TV and thank you for
3 checking on the curb cut, Jessica.
4 The thing I was wondering about that
5 is I thought -- I was trying to listen to it on
6 TV and sometimes it cuts in and out. Did you
7 say something about the county with the
8 temperature?
9 MR. SMURL: Yes, the temperature
10 Lackawanna County goes by so the city goes by
11 it.
12 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. So should the
13 Lackawanna County Commissioners be the people I
14 should be harassing instead of you?
15 MR. MCANDREW: Give it a shot.
16 MR. SMURL: Well, we could probably
17 do our own, Doris. I would have to speak with
18 all the Council members to see if they want
19 to -- if somebody wants to head something like
20 that and look into it.
21 MS. KOLOSKY: I didn't really hear
22 you.
23 MR. SMURL: I said I will ask
24 Council members later if anybody wants to head
25 something like that and look into changing
46
1 that. I'm sure we could make our own ordinance
2 for that.
3 MS. KOLOSKY: At least a little
4 warmer. I mean, that's kind of crazy. And I
5 don't mind going to Lackawanna County and
6 annoying them.
7 MR. SMURL: That's all right.
8 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. So the only
9 other thing since I have enough time to say is
10 usually when Mr. Bolus speaks I have something
11 to say after him. I didn't like his reference
12 to the queer flag.
13 Say basically because supposedly the
14 person that shot Charlie Kirk was belonging to
15 the queer community that we shouldn't be
16 honoring any queer people. Please don't ever
17 think that the rest of us feel that way. And
18 thank you and good night.
19 MR. SMURL: Thank you.
20 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.
21 Tonight we have what we all expected, an all
22 way stop sign ordinance. We were told at the
23 Lackawanna College meeting that we would have
24 updates and further input at least two
25 meetings. We received none.
47
1 The administration decided what it
2 wanted and told us what we should think and we
3 should be happy with that. And when some
4 reasonable questions arose, how were they
5 addressed? The Mayor stepped up and tried to
6 end the public questions at the meeting, trying
7 to take away the microphone from the people so
8 they could not speak.
9 I sent to members of Council a
10 report from WCBB5 Boston investigations called
11 in one of America's most walkable cities, a
12 danger for pedestrians. They have straight and
13 turn lights go green at the same time the walk
14 indicators in that direction say it's okay to
15 cross. They don't work.
16 People see the green light and turn
17 into pedestrians. There is no fix for the
18 blind at stop signs as they give really no
19 audible alerts. As it was brought up prior, I
20 guess it would be unkind for us for -- for the
21 blind and visually impaired should not be
22 referred to as the new city speed bumps.
23 We'll just call the blind and
24 visually impaired mobile traffic calming
25 devices. That way we can report it has a
48
1 mobile trafficking calming device was hit by a
2 car. Now that's forward thinking, fine optics.
3 Let's say for the pedestrians, two
4 one-way streets that offer two traffic choices
5 each straight ahead or a single turn or a four
6 way. Let's take North Washington and Linden
7 with two one ways, the pedestrian on the west
8 side of Washington has to watch Linden Street
9 alone.
10 They are on the east side. They
11 need to watch the straight from Linden and the
12 turn off Washington. Each lane has two
13 choices. Now, with full traffic, we have four
14 choices. It becomes 12 because every street
15 now has a straight and left and right turn into
16 your crosswalks.
17 We know everyone in Scranton uses
18 turn signals. And good luck crossing on a
19 walker or a wheelchair. Now, looking at the
20 note in 5-B, the verbiage for the manual on
21 unform traffic control devices and criteria,
22 Section C, minimum volumes.
23 Mr. Pocius warned about them and the
24 Mayor's only -- at the Mayor's only dog and
25 pony show. Once the traffic lights are removed
49
1 no matter how we try to salvage the test
2 period, the traffic control will not allow them
3 back in because they do not qualify anymore
4 under C, minimum volume requirements which is
5 in your documents tonight.
6 The Mayor's attempting to remove one
7 way streets and lights and give us a case where
8 there is no going back. In South Side we had a
9 stop sign and a crosswalk. A pedestrian was
10 hit crossing the street. It was a four-way
11 stop intersection, clearly painted crosswalks
12 but it still happened.
13 A little over a year ago at
14 Washington and Vine, a one way and a two way at
15 the light at the library a woman was run over
16 as well. Last week while driving to this
17 Council session I was met with a person driving
18 the wrong way down Adams Avenue that became
19 upset as they pulled into a parking space and I
20 stopped so they could turn around go the right
21 direction.
22 But they wanted to continue in the
23 wrong direction because they knew where they
24 were going -- where they wanted to go to. When
25 we have drivers who ignore one ways, you expect
50
1 them to pay attention to a stop sign?
2 The walkability and marketability,
3 how many dead are reasonable? What level of
4 adults and kids hospitalized or dead are
5 acceptable? As kids crossing are those least
6 visible to cars. This is not the first time
7 the administration ignored people's will.
8 They did it with the Recovery Act.
9 We have a walkability with serious questions
10 and very tangible permanent harm possible and
11 the assurance of two meetings that never
12 happened. What we're told is, the people are
13 too stupid, sit down, shut up and vote for me.
14 This is on the verge of the Mayoral
15 and City Council vote that may change the
16 direction for the city. So I get the rush. We
17 may seek a vote by people to reconsider some
18 changes and who may tap the breaks. I would
19 suggest discussions and answers before
20 funerals. Pick it up next year. Hear the
21 people.
22 For those viewing this, if you
23 believe they're willing to hold off your
24 representatives, you have a chance to vote them
25 out of office. They're willing to risk the
51
1 safety of people, then we can't allow them the
2 ability to make those choices.
3 And as Mr. Smurl said directly
4 before this body, we have a session next week
5 for the same thing; but he has already made his
6 choice. He has already said how he's going to
7 vote. He doesn't care what's said in here.
8 Good night.
9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?
10 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton
11 city residents and Council, Mike Mancini,
12 Scranton. Tonight, on the question, why? Why
13 would somebody be offended by my words each
14 week before Council? I pay attention to local
15 stuff.
16 I point out the things that need to
17 be done, corrected, or done poorly or ways to
18 resolve the issue on behalf of others.
19 Everyone has opinions about national stuff.
20 What is your opinion of Scranton and how it
21 operates? Personally, currently, I give
22 Scranton of half a star.
23 It deserves five stars because of
24 its citizens and potential. If my words offend
25 you, pick better candidates. Replacing
52
1 downtown traffic lights with stop signs, why?
2 Because Paige breaks everything.
3 Clerical staff, police officers,
4 firefighters, DPW employee unions will not
5 endorse the Mayor. Why? Because they work for
6 her. They witness first hand her destruction.
7 They know her well. To the rest of Scranton,
8 you learn this just like riding your bike.
9 Stranger danger.
10 In the absence of the Mayor, the
11 Deputy Mayor is in charge. The city does not
12 have one named. The out-of-county Business
13 Administrator makes decisions in violation of
14 the Home Rule Charter.
15 Why does the Council President and
16 head of the Rules Committee not address this
17 violation under Section 609? Because he's
18 endorsed by the Mayor. Communication with PA
19 Water would change the road conditions for
20 better. Why is this not being addressed by the
21 Mayor? Because she doesn't care.
22 When you hire a communications
23 director, that person becomes your voice.
24 Wendy Wilson, her communications director
25 posted something on Facebook about School Board
53
1 Director Bob Casey. I've known Bob for over 40
2 years.
3 He's a good man. He does not
4 deserve the attempt at demoralization of his
5 character. I not only blame Wendy, but I also
6 blame Paige Cognetti. To Chris Kelly from the
7 Times, shame on you for downplaying this post
8 that has since been deleted. To my friend,
9 Bob, thank you for being you.
10 Paige eyed up the State Senate seat
11 just to see it given to Marty Flynn. She fired
12 his mother after 19 years and just shy of her
13 pension. Why? Because it's all about Paige.
14 She is applying for the same DCNR grant that
15 was denied for the deep end pool at Nay Aug.
16 They've been closed for seven years.
17 There should be two pools there currently. Are
18 there even covers for the pools? Four less
19 deep end pools, history lost. Why? Our city
20 has so much potential. Paige has made our
21 situation much worse since her arrival.
22 Scranton has always been her backup
23 plan. Every citizen of Scranton is her backup
24 plan. It's time to toss that Tuscan chicken
25 sandwich away. It has lost its taste. Three
54
1 weeks today we vote. I mentioned character
2 over party.
3 There is one person who stands out
4 in this election cycle and he has proven by
5 example a preclude to what he could do in one
6 of those seats. He will utilize the excellent
7 skill set.
8 Mr. Voldenberg has taken many calls,
9 pointed out many issues and found ways to
10 resolve them. He cares about the people of our
11 city. He looks at people for who they are, not
12 their party affiliation. Virgil Argenta is a
13 good man who means well and deserves your vote.
14 He's earned mine.
15 I know the kindness of our citizens.
16 I will continue to keep asking the questions
17 and keep getting crickets. I will keep the
18 pressure on. I will hope that our citizens and
19 voters do the same. We deserve so much better.
20 Those in power continue to try to dismiss me
21 and will not take me seriously. That too is a
22 lie.
23 Those in power take those who
24 operate on a different level like Virgil and I
25 very seriously. They could ignore questions
55
1 and concerns. But they cannot silence all of
2 us. I could feel a domino is about to fall.
3 We feel it too. It takes courage, passion and
4 a sense of doing the right thing to push those
5 dominos.
6 Once a few fall for the better, they
7 all fall. When that happens you get your city
8 back because you deserve better. Next week the
9 remainder of my choices for this election cycle
10 and why. Good evening, Council.
11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?
12 It doesn't look like it, Frank.
13 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.
14 MOTIONS.
15 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have
16 any motions or comments?
17 MR. KING: Nothing at this time.
18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.
19 Schuster, do you have any motions or comments?
20 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few.
21 There's a couple ongoing concerns from
22 residents, Tripp Place, Crown Avenue, Gibbons
23 Street and North Main and Clearview. I sent
24 all of that stuff in through e-mail, Frank, so
25 just waiting to hear on some of those areas.
56
1 We did get some questions back from
2 last week. I had asked about if the
3 administration was -- had filled the position
4 of DPW Director, Park's Director and Refuse
5 Coordinator. And the answer that I got back
6 was just that the city administration is
7 continuing interview prospective candidates for
8 those positions.
9 Last week we spoke about the Lookout
10 which I was happy to see that we got a cost
11 estimate for that project. There was several
12 questions asked. But one of the questions I
13 had asked because it's a WPA project if the
14 city would look into eligibility for WPA
15 grants.
16 The answer I got back was that the
17 city is investigating the Lookout's eligibility
18 from National Registry for Historic Places and
19 that designation can open up additional funding
20 opportunities, so happy to hear that. I
21 just -- I'll believe it when I see it. So when
22 I see it, I'll be even happier.
23 There was a question asked by Marie
24 Schumacher about the binoculars that were
25 there. I did see them in the summer. The
57
1 answer we got back was that in July the
2 viewfinder was hit by a car. The base of it
3 was broken. Tower Optical from Connecticut
4 came and removed it. And I do believe that was
5 the group that built it in the first place.
6 The Architectural American Heritage
7 group informed the city that in order to
8 replace it we would have to ensure its safety.
9 So the city is going to install safety measures
10 to ensure that it won't be hit again. That was
11 the answer for that question.
12 I did ask a question. We had two
13 grants that were put in front of Council. One
14 was for 1 point -- 1 million two hundred
15 sixty-four thousand six hundred fifty-eight
16 dollars that came on September 2nd. It was
17 related to the Lackawanna Avenue Project.
18 With that, some Council members did
19 ask if streetlights or traffic lights were
20 going to be replaced. The answer that we got
21 on that was that it was not traffic lights.
22 They were, in fact, streetlights. Last week we
23 got a grant which was a match grant. So it was
24 for 632,329, which was equivalent to the same
25 thing.
58
1 And the question that I had asked
2 was, why would the one grant application we're
3 saying it wasn't for replacement of the
4 streetlights, the second one it was.
5 The city answered the question,
6 which I thought they would have answered. They
7 said that they applied for the two grants for a
8 continuation of the Lackawanna Avenue
9 Streetscape Project. This is typical due to
10 the high cost of these projects.
11 As a point of reference, the
12 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project near the
13 Radison has four funding streams. So we did
14 talk about six funding streams for the project
15 tonight.
16 And this is what I assume that we
17 apply for two separate grants for the same
18 project. My question was, why when we asked
19 the question about traffic lights were we told
20 it was just streetlights where the second grant
21 application included traffic lights and had
22 them listed.
23 Several of us asked about how
24 much -- what were the additional costs of Nay
25 Aug. And we got the complete entire Nay Aug
59
1 Pool Complex for engineering and estimate was a
2 cost of 4 million dollars. I believe that we
3 did know that.
4 But with what we had applied for we
5 wanted to know what the remainder was of that.
6 So where would be at with this project if we
7 got that grant funding? Is there still
8 additional costs associated with that project?
9 So if we could ask that one,
10 Mr. Voldenberg? After we get the grant funding
11 or if we are awarded that grant funding, what
12 is the additional cost that would be on top of
13 that?
14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. It was
16 also asked by the public was who is the
17 designated Deputy Mayor in the city, which we
18 know is Eileen Cipriani. She's the Deputy
19 Mayor and when the Mayor is out of town, who
20 makes decisions.
21 So it stated that in a rare event
22 the Mayor is ill per the City Code, the duty
23 falls on the Deputy Mayor. Fortunately due to
24 technology, the Mayor is readily available via
25 telephone.
60
1 And it provides Article 3, Section
2 6.5 paragraph C of the City Code, the Deputy
3 Mayor, the Mayor shall designate any department
4 head or the City Clerk to act as Deputy Mayor
5 when the Mayor cannot fulfill the duties due to
6 illnesses or temporary absences from the city.
7 So the answer that we have is it's
8 Eileen Cipriani which we knew before. We did
9 get a glimpse tonight at the plans for
10 downtown. When it comes to one-way streets
11 being converted to two-way streets and our
12 traffic lights being converted to stop signs,
13 there are several aspects of this that I really
14 like.
15 I really like that we're going to
16 sink our streetlights to have those pedestrian
17 leads. But there are also parts of this that I
18 do not like. I still have some questions.
19 We're going to have bumpouts now. So American
20 water does have basins where these bumpouts may
21 be.
22 How are we coordinating with
23 American Water to place these basins when we're
24 going to have the bumpouts at stop signs in
25 these areas?
61
1 We talked about the electronics on
2 the stop signs. So there is going to be lights
3 that are flashing. They are going to flash all
4 around an intersection when somebody steps in a
5 crosswalk. Are we going to maintain these?
6 We talked about Nay Aug Park, about
7 the maintenance at Nay Aug Park, millions of
8 dollars were put into Nay Aug Park and we
9 failed to maintain it over the years. Is this
10 going to be the same case?
11 When we come to this legislation
12 tonight, I am going to make a motion to table
13 this. I would like this to -- I would like to
14 have a discussion with the public. We have a
15 habit of approving these things too fast. And
16 when feedback comes in, it's after the thing
17 has been approved.
18 So I would like to get the public's
19 input on this before we move forward because it
20 is a large change for our downtown area. We've
21 gotten the same thing before. They said they
22 spoke with 62 businesses. I spoke to several
23 business people in the last few days.
24 They were not contacted. So if we
25 could get a list of city businesses, it was 62
62
1 city businesses. If we could just get that
2 list. I'd like to know that.
3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. The total
5 cost of the project is 15 million dollars. And
6 what we got tonight was 12.6 million. That's a
7 large amount of money for this type of project.
8 So, you know, before we move forward with it,
9 I'd like all of our avenues explored. That's
10 all for tonight.
11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster.
12 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or
13 comments?
14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have a few.
15 First off, I had received a response, something
16 I was checking in on regarding a broken pole on
17 Capouse Avenue that I received a complaint
18 about. And that's been there for some time.
19 So the update that I had received
20 from DPW was that they have been in contact
21 with the PPL. And they said that they can't
22 remove it until Frontier and Verizon both
23 remove their services from the broken pole.
24 And then they will take care of removing it.
25 So they have been in contact with Verizon. And
63
1 they're trying to get in touch with Frontier.
2 So hopefully that happens quickly
3 and they can take care of what they need to so
4 that the pole could be removed. So that is the
5 update on that. I did just want to bring up
6 again Miss Norma Jeffries. And I'm really glad
7 that we did the proclamation for her tonight.
8 And I just appreciate her so much.
9 She certainly is a role model for many people
10 out there. I've always appreciated her coming
11 to Council and just her congeniality, her
12 kindness, her honesty that she's displayed
13 here.
14 She's always been respectful as
15 well. And there's certain people who could
16 take a page out of her book and learn a lot
17 from her and how she conducts herself and then
18 just the amount that she devotes to the
19 community and that she's done that since --
20 since she returned to Scranton.
21 I really love that about her. And
22 we will miss her once she moves down to
23 Philadelphia. And then lastly, just wanted to
24 bring up there was a speaker -- this is I think
25 the second time at least that it's been brought
64
1 up and comparing LGBTQ people to like the
2 murder of Charlie Kirk and I don't know what
3 the sexual orientation was of the murderer.
4 I don't think it has anything to do
5 with that. And I think it's irresponsible and
6 disgraceful to even make that comparison or
7 bring that up and then to bring up the LGBTQ
8 Pride Flag on top of it. I'm not really seeing
9 where that comes in.
10 But, I mean, I'm proud to be part of
11 that community. And when we do have the flag
12 up or even the people who made temporary chalk
13 rainbow crosswalks over the weekend for
14 National Coming Out Day, I think that's a
15 really beautiful, positive thing.
16 And I also don't appreciate the use
17 of the word queer in a derogatory fashion.
18 Queer is a word that the LGBTQ community took
19 back a number of years ago. And it's something
20 that in the past has been used in a derogatory
21 way.
22 But I think we made a really
23 positive way for our community to describe the
24 queer community or queer individuals or to
25 identify as queer which is different from using
65
1 it with negative connotations to describe a
2 queer as in a noun like we're less than. So I
3 really don't appreciate that.
4 And I feel that does go against our
5 Council rules once again of using derogatory
6 language in chambers and attacking people. So,
7 you know, I just request that speakers in the
8 future avoid that. That's all that I have.
9 Thank you.
10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.
11 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any
12 motions or comments?
13 MR. MCANDREW: I got a couple. I
14 definitely want to applaud Norma, her devotion
15 to the city, her great sense of humor, and her
16 great sense of community. I'm definitely going
17 miss her. I always liked engaging her with all
18 the events she did at Nay Aug, especially the
19 food drives. They're always fun.
20 So definitely going to miss her.
21 All right. So next, also brought to my
22 attention is potholes that need to be fixed on
23 the 700 block of Cherry and the 725 Factory
24 Place. Also, the same resident brought to my
25 attention that there's a handicap sign no
66
1 longer needed at 726 Cherry Street.
2 I don't know what the process is on
3 removal and why and how. I believe there is
4 one. If you could have that -- if you could
5 send that over to that -- that's probably the
6 police department to take a look at it.
7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
8 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. And more than
9 once, probably two to three times this year I
10 brought up the need for the turning lanes on
11 Meridian and Luzerne and Railroad and Luzerne
12 to be painted. I know they said there --
13 there's plans to do that. But I was just
14 reminded that they haven't been done. So it's
15 been a couple of months.
16 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct.
17 One is for part of the pave project, but the
18 other one is. So I'll follow up on the one
19 that -- right away.
20 MR. MCANDREW: All right. So we're
21 waiting for paving for them. That's fine. But
22 the other -- okay. Thank you very much. And
23 that's -- the other situation with the Parallel
24 Street, that was brought to your attention
25 today or your office.
67
1 And you sent out on a 311 and also
2 the administration were notified. All right.
3 So I'm happy to report that out to the
4 gentleman who called me about it. That's all I
5 have. Thanks.
6 MR. SMURL: Thanks, Mr. McAndrew. I
7 have just a few things. Pool covers for all of
8 the new pools are being installed. I believe
9 they have three in right now. And they are all
10 new. So they are being trained how to put
11 those on.
12 So I believe the last two would be
13 Weston Field and then Nay Aug will be put on
14 last. But we do have covers and they will be
15 putting them on. Another thing Mr. Schuster
16 had told you about, the Lookout with the
17 telescope up there, that's paid for.
18 I just want to thank them. It's the
19 only reason I'm bringing it up is the
20 Architecture Heritage Association, they pay
21 $500 every year to keep that machine free for
22 the public. So we don't -- you don't have to
23 put a quarter in to look through it. So the
24 Architectural Heritage Association, thank you
25 for paying that. Please take that out of here.
68
1 And also, if you were on Keyser
2 Avenue and up by Ferdinand Street, you'll see
3 that Ferdinand Street has been milled and is
4 going to be paved this week. That wasn't on
5 the paving list. But it was one of the worst
6 streets in the city.
7 And we are going to be doing Adams
8 Avenue. But Adams Avenue has to be cut one
9 foot on each side to extend it to make it
10 wider. I don't know the reasoning for it. But
11 I didn't see any reason to pave that street and
12 go back next year and cut it again.
13 So they moved the -- the city moved
14 the money to Ferdinand Street because it was in
15 really bad condition. So I know they just
16 traded that money for the one for Adams Avenue
17 up to Ferdinand Street. So that one is being
18 done.
19 I believe -- oh, political signs. I
20 was called by the newspaper and they want to
21 know our policy on political signs. The same
22 as it was last time, private property, nowhere
23 else basically. Keep them out of our parks
24 because they have been putting them in the
25 park. They put them in the Nay Aug Park. I
69
1 don't understand that. But any right-of-way,
2 state property, Harrison Avenue, for some
3 reason they like that little park up there.
4 But they are going to be removed
5 again. And they will be kept at Weston Field.
6 If your signs are gone, go to Weston Field and
7 they'll give them back to you. That's it.
8 MR. SCHUSTER: Can I say one more?
9 When it comes to Ferdinand Street, they paved
10 it from the top down. But they've stopped
11 short of the intersection with Keyser Avenue.
12 Can we find out if they are looking into the
13 basins there and how much -- maybe what the
14 capacity is on the basins there before they
15 finish that project and what their plans are on
16 those basins at the bottom of Keyser?
17 Because it does get -- there is a
18 high amount of water that comes down Ferdinand
19 Street. I mean, it's quite an angle there.
20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of
21 it.
22 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you
23 very much. And then there was some holes over
24 on Pittston Avenue and Pear. Did we ever hear
25 anything about those?
70
1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have to follow
2 up. I don't have the latest report.
3 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank
4 you. Oh, sorry, Norma Jeffries, very happy
5 that we made a proclamation to Norma Jeffries.
6 With the presentation that we got tonight, my
7 mind was on that.
8 But I'm really going to miss Norma.
9 She is a joy to have here in Council Chambers
10 and I like to see her when she comes in. And
11 the weeks she's not here, I do miss her. So
12 good luck with her family. I'm glad she's
13 going to be spending time with her family and
14 her grandchildren and we wish her luck.
15 MR. SMURL: Thank you.
16 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR
17 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - INSTALLING
18 ALL-WAY STOPS IN CERTAIN DOWNTOWN INTERSECTIONS
19 FOR ADDED PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
20 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll
21 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced
22 into its proper committee.
23 MR. KING: So moved.
24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.
25 MR. SMURL: On the question?
71
1 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'd
2 like to make a motion to table this. Let's
3 just hold this up somewhat so we could hear
4 public input. This is the first the public is
5 hearing about these projects.
6 And I would like to give them an
7 opportunity to come into Council Chambers,
8 email us, call us, however they would like to
9 give their input. But if we could get as much
10 public input on this as possible, I would like
11 to catch that information.
12 MR. MCANDREW: Second.
13 MR. SMURL: I have a motion and a
14 second. So I guess we will do a roll call
15 on --
16 MR. KING: On that motion, it was
17 said that no one spoke to downtown residents.
18 And Wayne Evans who is the former Mayor of the
19 city lives downtown. It's my understanding
20 that a lot of people were spoken to downtown
21 along with businesses and the Blind Association
22 and I believe Keith Williams and his group. I
23 can't think of the name of it off the top of my
24 head --
25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Center for
72
1 Independent Living.
2 MR. KING: Yeah, Center for
3 Independent Living. Thank you very much. So I
4 would like to see this introduced this evening.
5 We're going to have them come back in again.
6 We'll have opportunities again next week to
7 learn more about the project and ask. And
8 that's where I stand.
9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.
10 So we will do a roll call on tabling 5-B.
11 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King.
12 MR. KING: No.
13 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.
14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.
15 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.
16 DR. ROTHCHILD: No.
17 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew.
18 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.
19 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl.
20 MR. SMURL: No. Motion fails. So
21 we will now -- all those in favor of
22 introduction of 5-B --
23 MR. MCANDREW: No, on the question.
24 MR. SMURL: On the question again?
25 MR. MCANDREW: Well, I'd like the
73
1 opportunity because it didn't -- we weren't
2 able to table it.
3 MR. SMURL: Okay.
4 MR. MCANDREW: So on the original
5 motion, first of all, I mean, okay, so this
6 streetscape project I like it. And guess what,
7 it's -- if something doesn't happen -- unless
8 you have a pandemic to get all of this type of
9 money.
10 We're going to do some cool things.
11 Do I like the facade enhancement, yes. Do I
12 like the stormwater improvement and --
13 definitely because that's an issue. Do I like
14 the increased lighting near the Radison and
15 some of it -- period lighting I think they
16 said.
17 Do I like the curbs widen, the
18 bumpouts, yeah. Are they safer? I agree. And
19 also, new sidewalks. Do I like all of that,
20 yes. Do I like changing stop signs -- changing
21 streetlights to four way stops, no. Like most
22 of it, don't like this.
23 And, you know what, I've heard from
24 people that don't like this. So what I always
25 say, I believe some of the best ideas and
74
1 solutions come from our residents and not
2 always costly studies that rarely utilize a
3 more common sense decisionmaking approach.
4 So, okay, so supposedly we got the
5 blessing of the Blind Association and Center
6 For Independent Living and that's great. But I
7 don't think that the four-way stop signs that
8 are all blinking and then another blinking sign
9 above it isn't going to distract drivers that
10 are mostly distracted to begin with, especially
11 with the advent of the cell phone we get every
12 day. There's a law passed. That's for a
13 reason.
14 So also, okay, so the Blind
15 Association or the vision impaired association
16 still have to have some type of buy-in. But we
17 didn't get the full explanation. We got some
18 of it. But what about people in wheelchairs,
19 on crutches or elderly citizens? Stop signs
20 create unsafe pressure to move quickly,
21 especially when drivers roll through instead of
22 stopping.
23 I have been driving and walking
24 downtown for at least 50 years and have always
25 all been able to navigate without any issue. I
75
1 see no rationale -- I mean, this is just my
2 opinion that makes sense for this proposed
3 change.
4 You know, sometimes I'm of the old
5 school if it ain't broke, why fix it. And
6 that's where I am with this. So another reason
7 is compliance with stop signs -- it's
8 inconsistent. Too often drivers treat them as
9 optional.
10 This creates uncertainty and
11 confusion, especially for pedestrians can't
12 rely on visual cues to judge when it's safe to
13 cross. Traffic lights by contrast provide a
14 clear enforceable command for vehicles to stop.
15 Replacing lights with stop signs is
16 not just inconvenient, I think it's dangerous.
17 And again, with all them new flashing -- four
18 flashing one on top, all of these lights, you
19 know, rolling through a stop sign instead of
20 coming to a full halt can lead to collision.
21 So I think that is more than likely
22 going to happen with all of these flashing
23 lights. They're a distraction. Confusing
24 right-of-way leads to hesitation and dangerous
25 assumption.
76
1 So what I mean by that, whoever gets
2 there first, it's going to be confusing. What
3 if two cars get to the four ways at the same
4 time, then it's confusing trying to -- who goes
5 first. Right, so I just like the certainty of
6 a traffic light. This is my opinion.
7 Like I said, I like most of this
8 streetscapes project because we need it. But
9 this piece I don't -- I don't agree with.
10 MR. KING: On the question, I feel
11 as though the red lights downtown in many
12 instances -- I mean, human nature is you're
13 going fly to try to get through the yellow
14 light. People fly through town to try to get
15 the next green light.
16 They're speeding. They're going
17 much faster. And I'm guilty myself. I'll tell
18 you right now, I go to Clarks Summit quite a
19 bit. And the way I get there, I go flying
20 right down Spruce Street. It's the quickest
21 way for me.
22 Once the stop signs go in, I
23 probably won't drive that way to Clarks Summit
24 I'll be perfectly honest because it's going to
25 slow traffic down. Stop signs aren't -- there
77
1 is no question whether it's red, whether it's
2 yellow, whether it's green. It's red all the
3 time.
4 It's going to -- you are forced to
5 have to stop. I just -- I think it's a better
6 option. So that's why I'm supporting it.
7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.
8 Anyone else on the question?
9 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question,
10 I'll vote to introduce this tonight. I still
11 have additional questions. I hope to meet with
12 some of the administration and with Tom Reilly
13 over the course of the week to be able to ask
14 those as well as having them here next week.
15 I get the concerns from the side of
16 people who would not want to see the traffic
17 lights changed to stop signs. But then, you
18 know, I also understand that there are still a
19 lot of collisions and a lot of accidents with
20 pedestrians even with the traffic lights.
21 And I know one of the speakers
22 during public comment had brought up earlier
23 that they felt like it was a negative with what
24 was done on Mulberry Street over near the
25 University of Scranton. And I don't really see
78
1 where they're coming from because I think
2 that's -- that's -- they've had a reduction in
3 pedestrian related accidents because of having
4 those additions.
5 They did those things to make it
6 safer for the students and pedestrians crossing
7 Mulberry Street. And I know if I do want to
8 get down to downtown quicker because I live up
9 on the Hill, then I might avoid Mulberry Street
10 and cross over Harrison and go down Moosic
11 instead.
12 But when you do go down Mulberry it
13 does -- as soon as you see those flashing
14 lights, I stop even before I see a student
15 because I know that someone has hit that so
16 that they could cross the street. So I think
17 it is helpful and beneficial what they've added
18 there on Mulberry Street mostly.
19 And I could see things like that
20 being incorporated throughout downtown for
21 intersections that do have stop signs working
22 well there too and slowing down the speed of
23 traffic which is what a lot of this is meant to
24 do so to slow down the speed of traffic within
25 downtown.
79
1 But I get that it would be a big
2 learning curve. I would want it to be really
3 well thought out -- these changes so as to
4 limit confusion as much as possible. I know it
5 would even take me some time to get used to a
6 street that I know as being one way to two way
7 and -- but this is meant to make it easier to
8 get around downtown and safer for everyone.
9 So these are some of the reasons why
10 I'm in favor of introducing it tonight. Thank
11 you.
12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?
13 I guess I will chime in like everyone else.
14 I have been dealing with this for at least two
15 years from when it first started. And it has
16 never gone away. There's been continuous
17 meetings with it.
18 I've actually met with the Secretary
19 of Transportation of Pennsylvania and discussed
20 this in great detail, many hours spent on this,
21 not only on traffic lights but to calm traffic.
22 In the early and the late 60s, downtown was
23 redesigned with the traffic lights.
24 But at that time we had new bridges
25 going in from the expressway and it was
80
1 designed to move traffic. That's what its
2 design was. That's what it still is. That is
3 why we don't need it downtown. We've got to
4 calm traffic.
5 I know Chief Carroll has the
6 statistics on how many accidents there were.
7 And this year alone I believe from even the
8 first few months this year it's like 200 and
9 some accidents downtown so far this year and
10 all at intersections with traffic lights.
11 I believe this is going in the right
12 direction. I have not -- I've seen some
13 studies that say traffic lights are not safe.
14 But you have to provide the documentation to
15 prove that.
16 So -- but I haven't stopped working
17 on this in two years. It's not been an
18 everyday thing. But there is a lot more
19 information. And that is why I suggested they
20 come back next week to continue on this because
21 there is a lot more information and everybody
22 should hear it. So that is why I wanted to
23 move forward. All those in favor of
24 introduction signify by saying aye.
25 MR. KING: Aye.
81
1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.
2 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed?
3 MR. SCHUSTER: No.
4 MR. MCANDREW: No.
5 MR. SMURL: The ayes have it and so
6 moved.
7 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR
8 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING THE
9 CONVERSION OF CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN
10 FROM ONE-WAY STREETS TO TWO-WAY STREETS AND
11 FROM TWO-WAY TO ONE-WAY STREETS AS OUTLINES AND
12 SPECIFIED HEREIN.
13 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll
14 entertain a motion that Item 5-C be introduced
15 into its proper committee.
16 MR. KING: So moved.
17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.
18 MR. SMURL: On the question?
19 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'm
20 also going to propose the same thing here. I'm
21 going to make a motion to table. Again, it's
22 not to per se stop this project. It's to hear
23 the public out and to be able to gain more
24 information before we move forward with this.
25 We're changing the whole downtown. I think
82
1 it's a pretty big deal.
2 MR. MCANDREW: I'll second.
3 MR. SMURL: Okay. We have a motion
4 and second. On the question?
5 MR. KING: On the question, I think
6 each one of us was -- were invited to meet with
7 the City Engineer and the Mayor and Eileen
8 Cipriani to come in and spend some time and
9 look at the plan and ask questions.
10 And I know that I came in and did
11 that and asked a lot of questions and took a
12 lot of time to really listen and ask questions
13 and spend time even before I got to see this
14 this evening. So I don't know if everybody
15 else took advantage of that, but I did. And
16 that's why I feel strongly about this.
17 MR. SMURL: Anyone else on the
18 question?
19 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I didn't have
20 the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Cipriani and
21 the team because the e-mail that everyone else
22 seemed to get in a timely manner, mine came
23 four days later and in the middle of the three
24 days that she requested to meet.
25 I did e-mail her and told her that
83
1 and said, you know what, I might as well wait
2 because you're coming to caucus. And then I
3 said, you know, of course, you know, if need
4 be, I could always schedule something at a
5 later date and she responded okay.
6 MR. SCHUSTER: So I also reached out
7 to Eileen Cipriani and the date I was given was
8 today. It happened to be today before this
9 meeting and I was not able to meet today. So I
10 listened to it in public. And I may meet with
11 her in the future.
12 But at this point in time I've heard
13 the presentation in public. And I do believe
14 that the public does need to hear the
15 information as well. So I don't understand why
16 presenting it in public to everyone at the same
17 time is a bad thing.
18 MR. SMURL: Anyone else on the
19 question? All right. We will do a roll call
20 on tabling 5-C.
21 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King.
22 MR. KING: No.
23 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.
24 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.
25 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.
84
1 DR. ROTHCHILD: No.
2 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew.
3 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.
4 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl.
5 MR. SMURL: No. So motion fails.
6 So we will -- on the question? Anybody else
7 want --
8 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. So like I
9 said, I like some pieces of it. I would like
10 to table this to get a better explanation. But
11 you know, what I heard tonight and the
12 rationale for this piece, I might be okay with.
13 So I will at least vote to move this tonight
14 only because, you know, I heard from the Fire
15 Chief.
16 He said this will increase response
17 times. But in the same breath before he left,
18 I said, okay, I could buy into that. And I
19 also -- but I said, what about four way stops?
20 That has -- don't tell me that has -- increases
21 response time. Because guess what, when a fire
22 truck comes you stop. If it's at a stop sign
23 or light you don't move.
24 All right. So with that said, I'll
25 push -- I'll move this one because of he said
85
1 it increases response time. And also another
2 issue that I asked Mrs. Cipriani right before
3 she left because I had more questions. I just
4 didn't get the opportunity to ask them.
5 I said, okay, because we heard from
6 some of the merchants downtown changing these
7 one ways to two ways. How would that affect a
8 delivery, you know, say if I own a restaurant
9 and all of a sudden where I used to be able to
10 double park or whatever.
11 So she said that all the businesses
12 are fine with it. So I'll take her at her word
13 for now and I'll move this piece. Like I said,
14 I like most of this, but four ways I'm just not
15 bending on that.
16 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I
17 don't find it necessary to -- well, I didn't
18 find it necessary to table this as well as the
19 other piece. I think that we should keep it
20 moving.
21 And I'll vote to introduce it
22 tonight because we are still doing our due
23 diligence listening to the public and bringing
24 them in again next week for additional
25 questions.
86
1 And I think that the rationale
2 behind changing the direction of a lot of the
3 streets makes a lot of sense. So I am in favor
4 of this. Plaintiff Exhibit -- and the -- there
5 is one other thing I was going to mention but I
6 can't think of it. Okay. I'm good. Thank
7 you.
8 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you.
9 MR. SCHUSTER: So also on the
10 question again, it's my not my goal to stop
11 this per se, but to give it some time as
12 tonight is the first time the public is hearing
13 this information.
14 DR. ROTHCHILD: My apologies. The
15 one other point that I do want to make was the
16 sense of urgency behind the use of ARPA dollars
17 for the completion of these projects that they
18 did say that within less than a year, so
19 September of next year, they need to be
20 utilized by.
21 So that is part of the other reason
22 that I don't want to hold up the process longer
23 or table it and then not see it moved back on
24 quickly because of that.
25 MR. SCHUSTER: And I think there may
87
1 be some time with our -- how many times we're
2 going to read it maybe to table it in the
3 future. But as I said, we do have a habit of
4 passing things and then the feedback from the
5 public comes in after the legislation has
6 passed and we didn't cover all of our bases.
7 So that is our goal here is to just cover all
8 of our bases before we move forward.
9 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you.
10 All those in favor of introduction signify by
11 saying aye.
12 MR. KING: Aye.
13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.
14 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.
15 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed?
16 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.
17 MR. SMURL: The ayes have it and so
18 moved.
19 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-D. FOR
20 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - ESTABLISHING "NO
21 PARKING." ZONES FOR PORTIONS OF CERTAIN
22 ROADWAYS TO CONFORM TO STATE REGULATIONS AND TO
23 IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
24 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll
25 entertain a motion that Item 5-D be introduced
88
1 into its proper committee.
2 MR. KING: So moved.
3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.
4 MR. SMURL: On the question?
5 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'm
6 not going to continue with the same thing I've
7 done. We'll pass this forward. But there will
8 be some other opportunities as we move forward
9 to talk about all of this.
10 MR. SMURL: 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 from many jury room.
18 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-E. FOR
19 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE
20 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO
21 EXECUTE AND SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION BY THE
22 OFFICE OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OF
23 THE CITY OF SCRANTON TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF
24 PENNSYLVANIA ACTING THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH
25 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR A LOCAL SHARE ACCOUNT
89
1 (STATEWIDE) GRANT, FOR UP TO $198,170.00 TO BE
2 USED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A MODULAR VEHICLE
3 BARRIER TRAILER SYSTEM.
4 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll
5 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced
6 into its proper committee.
7 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.
8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.
9 MR. SMURL: On the question? On the
10 question, this is -- in case anybody doesn't
11 know, we have parades and stuff. This vehicle
12 will actually drop all of the horses and all of
13 that stuff and the barriers for that.
14 So it just makes it a lot easier
15 than having police going back and forth and
16 continue picking them up. So all those in
17 favor of introduction signify by saying aye.
18 MR. KING: Aye.
19 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.
20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.
21 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.
22 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes
23 have it and so moved.
24 MR. VOLDENBERG: SIXTH ORDER. No
25 business at this time. SEVENTH ORDER.
