AGENDA FOR THE SCRANTON PARKING 10 AUTHORITY DECEMBER 10, 2025 MEETING RECEIVED 11 DECEMBER 4, 2025. 12 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments 13 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 14 received and filed. 15 Do any Council members have any 16 announcements at this time? Fourth Order. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 18 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 19 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 21 Scranton. First, I want to thank IT for 22 putting back on the City's websites the 23 collective bargaining agreements of the various 24 unions and the audits from the city. 25 They're back online if anyone would  6 1 care to access them. Do we have any progress 2 on a collective bargaining agreement for DPW? 3 MR. SMURL: I think they met Friday 4 or Monday. They met recently. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Is next week 6 going to be your last Council meeting for the 7 year? 8 MR. SMURL: I believe it is. 9 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Should I 10 bring in a cake? We'll celebrate the first 11 anniversary of DPW not having a contract. I 12 could bring in a cake if you bring in the 13 candles. 14 MR. SMURL: I'll bring in the 15 candles. 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. And no 17 progress yet on a director for DPW? 18 MR. SMURL: I believe I seen -- oh, 19 that's the parks. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: I saw one for Parks 21 and Rec but not DPW. Although you keep in mind 22 that there's an $8,000 pay raise in the budget 23 for that position. And speaking of the budget, 24 I don't know if you all pay attention to the 25 County Commissioners' meeting.  7 1 But they did not yet pass their 2 budget for 2026. Dave Bulzoni recommended that 3 they pause until the next meeting on December 4 17th because basically they are trying to get a 5 firm figure on what they can expect to pay for 6 electricity in 2026. 7 And so they are anticipating 8 significant increase in the rates which is why 9 I refer you to page 27 of your proposed budget. 10 Under the general expenditures summary, you'll 11 see electrical. Last year was for -- or for 12 this year 2025, it was $350,000. And next year 13 it's also $350,000. 14 Does the city not think that the 15 rates are going up? I think, you know, that 16 may not be a reason to pause passing the 17 budget. But I don't think that you're going to 18 get away with no rise in the cost of 19 electricity for next year. 20 So I hope that when you go through 21 the legislation for tonight, don't feel 22 compelled to rush through. I saw ironically in 23 one of the legislations where they're updating 24 the Administrative Code that you get August off 25 and December 18th to the end of the year off.  8 1 But if you have legislation that is 2 pending, I would expect that you would come 3 back even if it's after December 18th. Thank 4 you. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Next 6 on the sign-in is Megan from CMC -- on the 7 other one. Okay, Mike Mancini. 8 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, 9 Scranton. Prayers to Officer Tallo, Officer 10 Grippo and the rest of our amazing Scranton 11 Police Department after the loss of canine 12 Gunner and canine Scout. And also prayers to 13 the stabbing victims regarding the machete 14 incident at the Hotel Jermyn a little over an 15 hour ago. 16 Four level one victims were rushed 17 to GCMC. One male is in custody. Tonight I 18 will talk to the people of Scranton since their 19 City Council refuses to engage of our safety 20 concerns. I do not blame them for not 21 engaging. 22 They lack the intellect to resolve 23 issues like safety and homelessness within our 24 city. You get what you vote for and you expect 25 the best and you get mediocre crickets.  9 1 I asked about the unhoused task 2 force meeting which could be -- which should be 3 public like the one I attended in April of 4 2024. Like-minded individual were also 5 present, including Jim Lockwood from the Times. 6 At that meeting we learned there was a counting 7 system in place for the homeless. 8 A survey is not the answer. The 9 last meeting was in October with the next one 10 to be held in secret in January. Ninety days 11 without a meeting and still no plan in place. 12 It seems as if woke is broke. 13 Those meetings should be held in a 14 public setting with input from concerned 15 citizens. Last week Council struggled to 16 understand my concerns which have been the same 17 concerns I've asked for months regarding our 18 safety. 19 I was even given a piece of paper 20 from Chair for Public Safety. And I quote, 21 "Here. Here's the answers that you've asked 22 for from the administration." They were not 23 answers. Do not expect Mark McAndrew to seek 24 those answers and has shown week after week, 25 month after month, crickets.  10 1 I have the right to request that our 2 concerns be addressed before Council. I even 3 had to read verbatim the responsibility for the 4 Chair on Public Safety as if he did not know, 5 but will have his hand out for that raise. 6 Games people play, safety and 7 homelessness are not a game. They are 8 individuals being impacted without compassion. 9 Morality from our local leaders, sent right to 10 knows to both the city and the county. 11 One of the questions I asked was how 12 many subpoenas have been requested of 13 electronic devices of those who passed away due 14 to the very concerning opioid crisis? Since 15 our City Council lacks the basis skills to 16 address important concerns, once received, I 17 will make these issues public and hand them out 18 to all my media sources. 19 Council's become part of the 20 problem, not the solution. There are those 21 that care about others and those that just care 22 about themselves. The four in front of me and 23 the other one dialled in are perfect examples 24 of just about themselves. 25 They think our city is safe, our  11 1 homelessness issues are at a minimum, wrong 2 wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong to the one who 3 dialled in. What is also wrong is the way that 4 GCMC expansion is being handled. It should go 5 before zoning. 6 Council does not have the skill set 7 to ask the proper questions. When you need to 8 legally abstain -- one of you needs to legally 9 abstain. Mr. Smurl, you're here, you have a 10 brother who works for GCMC which is a conflict 11 of interest. 12 I'm 100 percent in favor of this 13 well-needed expansion. However, it needs to be 14 handled just like any other zoning issue. 15 Zoning knows the questions to ask and what to 16 look for. I care about my hometown, its 17 people, and our safety. 18 I will continue to call a spade a 19 spade. I will continue to call out our shitty 20 Council and local elected officials because we 21 deserve more than just mediocre. God bless our 22 citizens, our first responders and our city. 23 Good evening, Scranton. 24 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler. 25 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,  12 1 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and 2 homeowner. First of all, I have to give a 3 shoutout to the DPW refuse collectors. My 4 daughter recently moved out of the apartment 5 next to my house. 6 And between herself and my wife and 7 I for the last two weeks we put a lot of old 8 broken furniture out, old dressers and old box 9 springs. And they picked up everything. They 10 did a great job, so kudos to them. 11 Next thing, Mike already talked 12 about it, but as a dog lover and dog owner, my 13 heart was saddened last week when I heard of 14 the cop passing of canine Scout. They said it 15 was a medical emergency. It's just a shame 16 because I guess he just joined the police force 17 recently and it's a shame. I'm sure he'll be 18 missed. 19 Also on the news last Wednesday, 20 Hazleton is having free parking in their 21 downtown until Christmas. Why don't we do 22 that? You want to get people down town, give 23 them free parking. But, no, this city wants to 24 bleed every penny from the taxpayers that they 25 could get.  13 1 I don't know when it was, it was 2 quite a few years ago that we also did do that 3 for one Christmas. We gave the residents free 4 parking. We should do it again. Hazleton can 5 do it, why can't we do it? It would be a good 6 thing to do. But this city doesn't do the 7 right thing. 8 Well, lastly more about GCMC. 9 That's my hospital. My doctors are from GCMC. 10 I support them 100 percent. But there's got to 11 be a -- got to be compromise. And you people 12 should not vote on it tonight. I know you will 13 because when Geppetto pulls your strings. The 14 three of you vote the way she wants you to 15 vote. 16 And Councilwoman Rothchild, I know 17 you're going to be the swing vote. I just hope 18 you could look at your neighbors when you vote 19 yes. And it shows you don't care about your 20 neighbors. And that's all I have tonight. 21 Thank you for your time. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else 23 wish to speak? 24 MR. SPINDLER: Happy holidays to 25 everybody.  14 1 MS. AUGUSTINI: Laura Augustini from 2 the Green Ridge Neighborhood Association. I'm 3 going to address a couple more things about 4 Geisinger GCMC. What we're all looking for is 5 transparency. Mr. Smurl, you talked about spot 6 zoning the last time. 7 The civic zoning for Regional and 8 Moses went into place when all of those 9 residences had already been purchased and those 10 lots were empty. There were no neighbors or 11 residents bordering that civic zone. 12 I have a question about what's in 13 the old nursing school. Why can't CMC do 14 something to expand into that building that's 15 right next to their garage. Geisinger needs to 16 show that they have skin in the game. They 17 haven't. 18 All they're doing is asking. They 19 aren't giving anything. I hear a lot about -- 20 I hear a lot about the need for healthcare. 21 Geisinger CMC is my hospital. I go there for 22 everything. I appreciate everything that they 23 do. But why does the Hill, why do the 24 neighbors of the Hill have to sacrifice for the 25 rest of the county?  15 1 I just don't know that that's 2 appropriate. The biggest thing for me on this 3 issue is that it is being rammed through. I 4 think it is totally inappropriate for something 5 that is this monumental to be taking -- to be 6 voted on in this quick of a fashion with -- 7 and while we have -- obviously had a very 8 extensive public hearing tonight. I just don't 9 think that that's the answer. 10 When we -- when the zoning ordinance 11 was put into effect three years ago, there was 12 over -- over a year of discussion with the 13 neighborhood association, never mind what had 14 been done previously with the Planning 15 Commission and other people. 16 We went through a year of meetings 17 to look at the zoning ordinance for everything 18 that was going on. And while I'm not 19 suggesting that this should take a year, I do 20 think it needs more than the four weeks that 21 we've had if only to make sure that the 22 community benefit agreement is put into place 23 before this zoning change is approved. 24 Again, that's a legal document that 25 needs -- that I think is very important to  16 1 alleviate the concerns of the neighbors of the 2 Hill. Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Everybody, Sean 5 McAndrew, taxpayer. I'm here tonight because 6 of the vote of the Fidelity Bank Building. It 7 has major implications for our taxpayers and 8 responsible budget for the next few years. 9 Recently I had a great meeting with 10 the Mayor. During that meeting, I asked what 11 is the biggest concern coming up. And it was 12 the 2026 budget just like probably any other 13 city or borough or even a school district. 14 It's always -- it's always a concern. 15 And the concern was possibly raising 16 tax increases depending on how things go, which 17 is legitimate. So my question is, if we're 18 facing a reality of possibly raising taxes in a 19 climate that we are in everywhere, then why are 20 we rushing into possibly buying a multimillion 21 dollar building right now? 22 So tonight I have some questions for 23 Council. They're very simple questions, very 24 reasonable questions. My first question, has 25 Council received any written plans at all, not  17 1 verbal ideas, not concept, actual plans what 2 the city intends to do the building, the 3 renovation or relocate anything from here into 4 the Fidelity Bank? 5 MR. MCANDREW: No. 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. Yeah, 7 because some of the conversations I've had with 8 several members, the answer appears to be no. 9 Second, have you been provided appraisals? I 10 know they were listed in the paper. But if 11 Council is being asked to vote on spending over 12 1.8 million dollars just to purchase a building 13 and much -- probably much more in renovations, 14 design and reconfigurations that are added in, 15 you should at a minimum have the appraisal 16 packages in front of you. Have you received 17 them from the city? 18 MR. MCANDREW: We received answers 19 to questions that were -- 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: But not the 21 physical appraisal. 22 MR. MCANDREW: The physical 23 document? 24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. 25 MR. MCANDREW: No, just amount.  18 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. And has a 2 feasibility study been completed, not just on 3 the bank building but also City Hall itself? 4 Before buying anything, every responsible 5 organization examines the condition, needs and 6 potential of what they already own. 7 Has this been done here? If there 8 is a study, where is it? If there isn't one, 9 why not? Okay. Mr. King, I know you work in 10 construction the last few years. And you're 11 very good at it. I've heard very good things. 12 As a successful person in that 13 industry, would you ever recommend to a client 14 or anybody that buying a building, any building 15 without a feasibility study, without renovation 16 cost estimates, without architectural plans and 17 without a clear scope of work, that's what I 18 feel like is going on here. 19 I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I 20 just don't ]think we have all of the pieces of 21 the puzzle and all the plans to find out what 22 the real cost is and what the real plan is. 23 Right now it's an idea, not a plan. 24 In that meeting with the Mayor, she 25 told me that there's, you know, if it is  19 1 purchased, possibly building a bridge that 2 connects the building like the firehouse. 3 That's going to be very expensive. Another 4 part of it was leasing space to the school 5 district. 6 I just got off the school board on 7 Friday. We have a plan in place. It's 8 actually looking at purchasing buildings. But 9 what we're doing is, we're waiting for a 10 construction manager to come to give us 11 estimates. What's it going to cost if we buy 12 this building to convert it into what we need 13 to be done? 14 And that's all I'm kind of asking 15 here. You know, there's a lot more costs just 16 than, you know, purchasing the building. And 17 we have to work on it for future budgeting and 18 how we're going to pay for that. So you guys 19 are in a tough spot with voting on it right 20 now. 21 You're being asked to approve a 22 major real estate deal with no plans, no firm 23 cost projections, no contract or architectural 24 consultants on this idea they have and no 25 long-term financial analysis tied to the  20 1 upcoming budget. 2 I don't really think this is 3 transparency. It's not really fair to the 4 taxpayers right now. I'm not saying, you know, 5 this shouldn't happen or it's a good idea or a 6 bad idea. I just think the process needs to be 7 slowed down. This is not forever. 8 But until actual information exists 9 so the public could see it and you guys could 10 have it to make, you know, the best vote on it. 11 So I know you guys you have a hard 12 job up there. You know, I've been through it 13 on the school board, so I appreciate all you 14 do. And I hope you all have a good holiday, so 15 thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 17 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 18 Virgil Argenta, Scranton. My condolences to 19 canine officers Matt Grippo and Scout and Jerry 20 Tallo and Gunner. Tonight I want to voice my 21 outrage about what happened Sunday night on the 22 3200 block of Cedar Avenue in Minooka. 23 ]Thankfully no one lost their life, 24 but the damage was severe. It is unacceptable 25 that a functional fire hydrant was unavailable  21 1 for more than 35 minutes especially since this 2 hydrant was directly across the street from the 3 destroyed house. 4 As a concerned citizen I demand 5 answers on how a fire hydrant located less than 6 40 feet from the fire failed to provide water 7 when needed most. Firefighters need water to 8 fight fires. Pennsylvania American Water 9 Company's fire hydrant inspections were 10 insufficient and failed in this instance. 11 For the record, I respectfully 12 request that this Council obtain reports 13 regarding pressure inspections and all 14 maintenance records for the hydrant in 15 question, plus for all fire hydrants in all 16 sections of the city. 17 It is necessary to hold Pennsylvania 18 American Water Company accountable for their 19 involvement in this incident as the safety and 20 well-being of Scranton residents are at stake. 21 Will this issue lead to increased insurance 22 rates for residents and businesses in our 23 community? 24 It's unconscionable that 25 Pennsylvania American Water Company's  22 1 negligence could lead to higher insurance costs 2 for all of us. This issue goes beyond the 3 single fire and highlights ongoing problems 4 with Pennsylvania American Water Company that 5 we've been talking about for several years now. 6 While service rates keep raising, 7 the quality of service fails to improve. For 8 example, pave cuts are often left subpar and 9 improperly restored. Neighborhood catch basins 10 remain damaged and blocked due to insufficient 11 preventative maintenance. 12 Additionally, there's confusion 13 about which basins are city owned and 14 maintained versus those under Pennsylvania 15 American Water Company's responsibility. Most 16 concerning of all is the quality of our water. 17 Where is this accountability? They're looking 18 for another rate increase. 19 As a former Council candidate and a 20 community advocate, I would expect better from 21 Pennsylvania American Water Company. This fire 22 could have posed serious danger to both 23 firefighters and residents. Our first 24 responders put their lives on the line daily. 25 They deserve reliable equipment and full  23 1 support from our utility partners. 2 As for Council members, including 3 those newly elected, I hope you will ask tough 4 questions of Pennsylvania American Water 5 Company and you will stand up for our community 6 and refuse to be silenced. 7 This elderly gentleman lost 8 everything except for the ashes of his wife. 9 Let us work together to ensure that this does 10 not happen again. Thank you, Council. Have a 11 nice holiday. 12 MR. SMURL: Mr. Argenta? 13 MR. ARGENTA: Yes, sir. 14 MR. SMURL: Will you leave Kathy 15 your e-mail address? I did have the same 16 concerns. I spoke with Chief Judge today and 17 before I got here. I received this about 4:30. 18 It's the answers to pretty much every -- I'll 19 e-mail this to you. If you wait until the end 20 of the meeting, I'll give a copy. 21 MR. ARGENTA: Okay. Thanks, Mr. 22 Smurl. 23 MR. MCANDREW: Also on Monday I had 24 Mr. Voldenberg contact American Water with the 25 answers --  24 1 MR. ARGENTA: Thank you. I 2 appreciate that. 3 MR. MCANDREW: -- with regards to 4 the failure of the fire hydrant in the 3200 5 block. 6 MR. ARGENTA: Thank you. I'm just 7 concerned that it doesn't affect our insurance 8 rates. 9 MR. MCANDREW: It's in motion. 10 These concerns are in motion. I'm checking 11 them all. 12 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 13 First off, again, two more cans for the food 14 bank. It would be nice if before the last 15 session at least one council member brought in 16 a can of food to add to it -- to add to the 17 hopefully growing cans of food for the poor and 18 the hungry in our community. 19 One person adding one can builds to 20 another, builds to another which can start a 21 flow of food to the hungry and people who need 22 it. So hopefully someone will step up and add 23 to it. 24 For next week it is the last 25 session. I hope that Mr. Smurl will bring his  25 1 key in to Nay Aug Park since he no longer needs 2 it since he's no longer associated and will no 3 longer be on the City Council, he should turn 4 that key in. 5 The 3200 block which we were just 6 talking about, that's a 30 second walk from 7 where my house is. The city zoning -- the City 8 Planning Board just approved a multi-apartment 9 building across from the church -- two of them 10 actually right off Davis Street. 11 We don't have any wastewater, catch 12 basins in that section at all from Cedar Avenue 13 down. Water pools right next to where they're 14 putting the apartment building complexes. And 15 we're putting a multi-apartment building, two 16 of them, right in a place where fire hydrants 17 don't work and where there is no runoff catch 18 basins. There's a problem. And a burning 19 house does put a light on it. 20 I'm glad that the cold shelter is 21 opened up. I'm glad that we finally got that 22 done before winter was opened by pressure 23 because it needed to be because I've walked 24 outside and with that wind it's bitter. 25 And I can't imagine being outside  26 1 for any period of time in that cold or spending 2 two hours walking from a day shelter that 3 closes to a night shelter that opens up and 4 having to stand outside for two hours in that 5 bitterness. 6 You obviously hide behind the corner 7 of the buildings just to keep yourself out of 8 the wind and it's not reasonable and it's not 9 ]humane. There's food insufficiency in our 10 community. We've got to remember that just as 11 much we remembered to put up street signs 12 because street signs are important, but so is 13 people's actual lives. 14 PP&L had a meeting up at the 15 University of Scranton for the rate -- for the 16 rate change. How come we were never notified? 17 The Mayor was up there. I don't know if any of 18 you actually made it because I didn't know it 19 was happening. 20 How come it wasn't brought up at the 21 last Council session so the community could 22 talk with and voice about the rate changes? 23 Either Council is left in the dark again when 24 the Mayor obviously knew or something happened 25 where we had a three-day notice that a meeting  27 1 was going to be held at the University and 2 public just weren't wanted up at it. It's a 3 communication problem. 4 And we've talked about due diligence 5 and with Geisinger. I think it's setting a bad 6 precedent. The building next door, everything 7 that's come before this body has had study 8 after study after study and been studied to 9 death for projects in this city. 10 How come we don't have one single 11 study on this building and next door? We've 12 had studies to study studies. But we need to 13 rush that through now with nothing but words 14 that we need it. Every other action required 15 plans. 16 You're required an outlook, 17 financial, none of that is done with this. Why 18 are we unaccountable for spending city money on 19 city projects when we are throwing money away 20 ]right and left for studies on everything else 21 in creation and hundreds of thousands of 22 dollars? And now we want to spend 1.8 million 23 dollars and let people starve. Something is 24 wrong. Good night. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?  28 1 MS. KOLOSKI: Doris Koloski, Hill 2 Section. I just want to remind you again 3 before you vote that none of the neighbors are 4 against expanded healthcare. We all want 5 healthcare. We just want it done in a way 6 that benefits both Geisinger and the 7 neighborhood. Thank you. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris. 9 Anyone else? 10 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, Rik 11 Little. I think there has to be a lot more 12 vision and future planning going into the 13 future. I've looked at this a lot. I've 14 looked at how the government's working. And 15 it's not working right. 16 It seems to me that this whole thing 17 for expanding City Hall, next door is a 18 railroad. It seems like the Geisinger thing is 19 a railroad and especially the data center thing 20 in Archbald is a railroad. It's just -- you 21 know, like somebody just said, you know, 22 there's a study -- all of these studies. 23 There has to be a vision. I think 24 we've lost it in this entire area. And we've 25 lost it through the Home Rule Charter because  29 1 justice goes out the window with the Home Rule 2 Charter. The Home Rule Charter was made legal 3 in like 1856 in the state of Iowa by one judge 4 and it has expanded all over the place. 5 And I've looked at many cities and 6 every city and every county that accepts this 7 as democracy or rule of law. It's been going 8 down a real long time. And I see the main 9 problem with it all is that, you know, we had a 10 plan. 11 We had a constitutional governance 12 based on the rule of law from the Bible. 13 That's how our government was set up. And 14 somehow they've inched it in and inched it in 15 that -- that it's not that, especially after 16 1871 when they, you know, all -- all people are 17 equal. 18 That's what it said in the 19 Declaration of Independence. Once they get to 20 the 14th Amendment, that's what we're going 21 through now especially in all of these deep 22 blue states, Dearborn, Michigan, Minneapolis, 23 Los Angeles that, you know, freedom of speech 24 you could say anything now. 25 And the things that's happening with  30 1 Omar and they're getting positions in our 2 federal government. And we're in the era now 3 of mashing of teeth. It's freezing outside. 4 And here in Scranton I watch how the boards 5 work. 6 And, you know, I keep seeing on the 7 schedule that somebody's supposed to be 8 appointed to the Scranton Housing Authority 9 Board and it's a procedural thing or something 10 like that. But I've watched that board and a 11 lot of boards way before. 12 And they've all been fudging on 13 quorum and the democracy that's supposed to 14 happen. I mean, you're going to vote but on 15 stuff like next door and people don't really 16 know what's going on. 17 I mean, I read in the paper, hey, 18 it's 185,000 to buy the Fidelity Bank and 19 another article it says, well, the price was 20 175. And in another -- another thing, well, it 21 was 200 or 2 million dollars-something. But we 22 just went through this recertification thing 23 and it's less than $500,000 for that building. 24 So what's the truth? No one knows 25 what's going on. And it seems to be, oh, you  31 1 know, rush right before Christmas we have to 2 vote on this life-changing thing like the 3 hospital and the bank building. It's too much. 4 There has to be a slowing down and not a 5 slowing down from some outside study. 6 You know, there has to be community. 7 There probably should be a community vote on 8 whether there's going to be a zoning change up 9 on the Hill. And I hope people start to 10 realize that because things are changing fast, 11 very fast across the world. And I wish you 12 all a Merry Christmas. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 15 MOTIONS. 16 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 17 any motions or comments? 18 MR. KING: No, I'll speak to some of 19 these items as they come in the agenda. Thank 20 you. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 22 Schuster, do you have any motions or comments? 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I'm just going 24 to make one comment. I want to thank 25 Mr. Gilbride and Mr. Voldenberg. At the end of  32 1 the meeting last week I did ask about the 2 community benefits agreement. I asked them to 3 reach out to see if there was an appetite from 4 the city Law Department or administration about 5 it. 6 And we did get an answer back. So 7 I'm just going to read that answer out. So 8 they thanked us for reaching out. The Law 9 Department's opinion is that the city cannot 10 legally enter into a community benefits 11 agreement with Geisinger as the conditions of 12 amending the city's zoning map. 13 Pennsylvania law categorizes -- 14 categorically prohibits contract zoning which 15 includes condition zoning map amendments or 16 private agreements between municipalities and 17 property owners. And this is coming from the 18 city's attorney, Andrew Cutillo. 19 The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has 20 held that the police power of a municipality 21 cannot be subjected to agreement which 22 respective condition zoning district 23 classification to participate -- or to a 24 particular problem -- properties and rezoning 25 constitutes legislative act that cannot be  33 1 conditioned upon contractual agreement. So 2 that cannot occur. 3 I don't know, Mr. Gilbride, if there 4 is anything else you would like to say on that. 5 But what we're getting from the Law Department 6 is that that cannot occur. 7 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That was their 8 answer, sir. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And thank 10 you, guys, for reaching out to them and getting 11 that answer. That's all I have for Fifth Order 12 tonight. And I'll speak to everything else on 13 the question. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 16 comments? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: I just want to say 18 that (inaudible.) 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Is her microphone on? 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: -- my colleagues to 21 call in tonight instead. It's, you know, 22 really not preferred and not convenient. So I 23 don't want anyone to think that I was taking a 24 way out of this. But it still is very 25 important for me to participate. And I've  34 1 stayed present and watched throughout -- 2 throughout the hearing and the meeting. 3 I will have a lot to say and speak 4 more when it comes to the -- some of the votes 5 that we have coming in up. That's all. Thank 6 you. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 8 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 9 MR. MCANDREW: No, I'll reserve mine 10 for the actual legislation. 11 MR. SMURL: Okay. 12 MR.

SMURL: What is the 14 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 15 Committee on Finance? 16 MR. KING: As Chairperson for the 17 Committee on Finance, I recommend final passage 18 of Item 7-D. 19 MR. SMURL: On the question? 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President, you 21 need a second. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 23 MR. SMURL: Roll call, please. 24 MR. MCANDREW: Now on the question. 25 MR. SMURL: On the question?  50 1 MR. MCANDREW: Okay, this vote comes 2 down to two things for me, need to have versus 3 nice to have because the Mayor and her 4 administration say on paper that we might be 5 able to afford it and buy it, it doesn't mean 6 that we could afford to maintain it. 7 And second is conflict. Huge 8 campaign contributions from the CEO and board 9 members including a relative of her husband to 10 exceed $15,000 just for the last primary 11 election and also for prior runs. 12 All right. There's been donations 13 from prior runs. And I know people are saying, 14 well, this has been -- this has been an idea 15 and this building purchase has been -- has been 16 a process. Well, when this purchase was tossed 17 around in previous capital budgets, no Council 18 person had an appetite for it. 19 So to say it's been in the works, 20 it's been a dream maybe with administration; 21 but it hasn't been in the works with us. This 22 is another example of a rush job. It was 23 presented in part of the budget hearing -- the 24 budget meeting process only two weeks ago. 25 We had to beg for information like  51 1 appraisals. We had to beg for all of this. 2 There was zero communication, collaboration, 3 none. And so and especially now that, you 4 know, I can't, you know, in good conscience and 5 on behalf of the residents I represent, a yes 6 vote would be giving a blessing to this type of 7 behavior. 8 I can't, you know, I can't wrap my 9 head around especially with regards to the 10 donations that have been here for quite some 11 time during this whole process say when it was 12 supposedly in the works. So I'll be voting no. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 14 Anyone else on the question? 15 MR. SCHUSTER: So on the question, 16 Mr. McAndrew just brought up maintenance. So 17 moving in the next year our ARPA funds are 18 going to be allocated. They're going to be 19 spent. We did spending on parks improvements 20 which we're going to need -- need to maintain. 21 We did improvements on pools which 22 we're going to need to maintain. We have the 23 Serrenti Center which we're going to need to 24 maintain. Also included in the capital budget 25 and improvement plans are the training center  52 1 that they discussed at the CTC. 2 These are all expansions of city 3 government that we're going to need to 4 maintain. As I've said leading up to last 5 week, I'm happy with city finances. We're in a 6 good position. We're in our footprint. We've 7 had our bond ratings and credit ratings 8 improved. 9 We don't have to do a yearly TAN. 10 And I like where we're at budgetarily and 11 financially. I find it dangerous that we're 12 looking to spend 1.8 million dollars. We were 13 looking to float some kind of loan of up to 3 14 million dollars. 15 And I could see us getting into a 16 position where we purchase this building for 17 1.8. We do three to however many millions of 18 dollars of improvements and we find ourself in 19 a budget shortfall in a few years. 20 I find it also dangerous that not 21 only are we taking off of our revenue side by 22 taking a property off of the tax rolls, but 23 we're also adding to our expenditure side, very 24 big concern of mine. 25 You know, I've seen projects like  53 1 this that have had runaway costs that end up 2 costing -- everything always costs more than it 3 was expected to cost in the beginning. It 4 happens each and every time. You know, it was 5 brought up about an actual plan. 6 You know, the questions that I asked 7 last week I did get answers here. The 8 questions I asked last week were asked by Jim 9 Lockwood and the Scranton Times and I received 10 my answers in that article in the paper over 11 the weekend in the Scranton Times about, you 12 know, appraisals, about everything -- I don't 13 know, everything that I asked last week was 14 answered in that article in the Scranton Times. 15 But I've never seen anything on 16 paper. I've never seen anything as an official 17 plan yet. You know, I've heard some things 18 about ADA compliance that it might cost a lot 19 of money to bring this building up to ADA 20 compliance. 21 We just did City Hall renovations. 22 It should have been considered at that point in 23 time. I also have a long enough memory that I 24 remember Mayor Cognetti talking about in the 25 virtual phase during Covid that, you know, we  54 1 could offshore all of our offices and we could 2 downsize City Hall and now we're at the point 3 in time where we're expanding City Hall. 4 So, I mean, that's not something I 5 forgot. It was something I remembered from 6 that time. I'm going to be voting no for this. 7 I don't want to be expanding our footprint. 8 And I don't want to see us with budget 9 shortfalls in a year or two. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 11 Anyone else on the question? 12 MR. KING: On the question, I know 13 that our ]Police Chief Tom Carroll with 14 Scranton Police Department, there's talk about 15 putting a Real Time Crime Center in the newer 16 building next door. We have -- it is ADA 17 accessible. 18 It would be nice to be in a 19 situation where individuals with disabilities 20 would actually be able to enter the building 21 from street level in the front, not have to 22 struggle in an alley up a ramp up the back and 23 try to ring a buzzer. 24 I just think it would add a lot more 25 accessibility and really provide some options  55 1 for the city in terms of people want to come in 2 and get permits and things like. There's an 3 elevator in there. We're adding 35 parking 4 spots for employees. So that's why I'm 5 supporting this. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 7 Anyone else? Roll call -- 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I just wanted to add 9 on the question, I agree with what Councilman 10 King had said regarding the crime center that 11 would be up on the second floor. But probably 12 the biggest thing for me is the accessibility 13 to the building. 14 And I know one of the other Council 15 members had mentioned need to haves. And I 16 think we do need to have an ADA accessible 17 building, which right now we're -- our current 18 City Hall is not under compliance with what -- 19 what should be required for that accessibility. 20 So this building would give us that. 21 And that's probably the biggest selling point 22 for me to make it easier for people to come 23 into City Hall or to the building next door to 24 get some of the services that they need. So 25 that's why I'll be voting for this.  56 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 2 Rothchild. Roll call, please. 3 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King. 4 MR. KING: Yes. 5 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 6 MR.

PREVIOUSLY 19 TABLED - FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMITTEE ON 20 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - FOR ADOPTION -- FILE 21 OF THE COUNCIL NO. 104, 2025 - AMENDING THE 22 ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SCRANTON TO 23 AMEND PROVISIONS RELATED TO HOSPITALS AND 24 OFF-STREET PARKING AND TO AMEND THE ZONING MAP. 25 MR. SMURL: What is the  58 1 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 2 Committee on Community Development? 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: As Chairperson for 4 the Committee on Community Development, I 5 recommend final passage of Item 7-F. 6 MR. KING: Second. 7 MR. SMURL: On the question? 8 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'll 9 start off. This is the hospital zoning. I 10 just want to start off by saying I'm not 11 against hospital expansion. What we tried to 12 do here is to have a compromise between 13 residents and hospital. 14 This has been a long process. It's 15 been going on since 2021 leading up 2023. One 16 of the concerns of the neighborhood at that 17 point in time was that the hospital wasn't 18 communicating with them. It's been two and a 19 half years since the 2023 ordinance passed. 20 And I think one of the same concerns 21 for the residents is that the hospital isn't 22 communicating with them. There is a process. 23 The zoning ordinance is in place. The hospital 24 can expand. They're saying we're not going to 25 go up to 100 feet which is what the zoning  59 1 allows. 2 And it was said if this passes here, 3 Council or the neighborhood is not going to 4 have a say in what happens from today on out. 5 Last week there was some questions answered. I 6 know it was brought up in public comment. We 7 said would you agree to this. 8 They said, yes. And I, you know, 9 asked how are we going to keep them to this? 10 How do we keep them to this is the process. 11 It's the Zoning Hearing Board. That's how we 12 keep them to this. I want to thank Miss Nolan 13 who stated in our preamble to be a trustee of 14 the people. 15 And when I got into politics in the 16 first place, that was my goal. So you've made 17 my dream come true tonight by saying that. I'm 18 going to be voting no on this tonight. If we 19 vote no, the hospital still has another day to 20 bring a plan. They still have another day to 21 expand. 22 You still have another day to 23 expand. If we vote yes on this tonight, it's 24 over for what the neighborhood wants in terms 25 of a seat at the table and compromise. And  60 1 that's what they're asking for is a seat at the 2 table and compromise. 3 That's all I have. I've been 4 speaking about it since 2011 when Audubon 5 School passed through the Planning Commission 6 and I voted no on the rezoning of Audubon 7 School. So it's been quite a long time I've 8 been speaking about this. But thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 10 Anyone else on the question? 11 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, on the 12 question, so first of all, I was thrilled to 13 see the chambers filled to the rafters because 14 it doesn't normally happen. But you know what 15 it means to me when it does, everybody in this 16 room cares about something, whether it's their 17 vocation, whether it's their employer, whether 18 it's their union brothers, whether it's their 19 neighbors. 20 But none of them here tonight or the 21 past couple weeks is against quality healthcare 22 or the increase of it thereof. Period. I 23 think we're all in agreement with that, right? 24 Do I really have a dog in this fight or am I 25 taking sides? I'm accused of it.  61 1 But I'm a man, procedure, process 2 compromise. I have three daughters and I'm a 3 teacher. I compromise every day of my life, 4 all right? And do -- have I benefited greatly 5 from the great healthcare that Geisinger or 6 whether it was CMC before that, absolutely. 7 There was a Dr. Salazar that took 8 care of my daughter in the neonatal unit. He 9 was a legend. And her and another one of my 10 daughters were unfortunately were flown -- life 11 flighted to Hershey, like I think I mentioned 12 before, and Danville. 13 And then you had the cardiologist 14 speak tonight, Dr. Ierovante, guess what? A 15 couple weeks ago I had a cardiac event. He 16 provided me excellent care in the lab. He's 17 exceptional. The pre and post was an 18 exceptional experience that I had. 19 And I think -- I had two stents. I 20 think I'm good for another hundred thousand 21 miles. I don't know. He left before I could 22 ask him. But in no way am I against the 23 expansion of the healthcare. 24 And Mrs. Nolan down there is making 25 a point like, you know what, I'm sure we all  62 1 want to get along and compromise. But some 2 people are making this whole -- this whole 3 process if you vote no you're the devil. You 4 hate healthcare. You don't care about our 5 community which is nonsense. 6 This piece of legislation never 7 should have came before us. Period. And it 8 was done for a reason. I've been on here six 9 plus years. I know when I see a rush job -- a 10 legislation rush job. Guess what, this one of 11 them. 12 There was actually three on our 13 agenda tonight. But this is one of them. I 14 know when it's rush job, trust me. All right. 15 So the Mayor's amendment is a clear 16 circumvention of fair procedural processes. 17 Period -- processes. 18 We have boards and authorities for a 19 reason. Planning and zoning boards are one 20 example where the public is notified for their 21 input and a fair process takes place if one 22 entity seeks a variance or special exception. 23 Every one from big developers to mom 24 and pop operations to even the excited first 25 time home buyers with young families that might  63 1 want to expand for their expanding family, 2 guess what they all have in common? They all 3 follow the city procedure and protocol. 4 You go to planning. You go to 5 zoning, no special treatment or amendment 6 ordinance or amended ordinances for them. I 7 told you guys the past couple weeks you're not 8 thrilled you're here and I get it. But this 9 isn't anything personal. But it's about being 10 fair. All right? 11 So everyone has to follow the 12 process without special treatment. This 13 amendment is clearly a special treatment that 14 might be precedent making. I'm concerned about 15 that because I'm going to be here. Some 16 members are leaving, right, I'm going to be 17 left holding the bag where this might be a 18 precedent that we have to deal with. 19 Yes, I'm for the expansion of 20 quality healthcare. I can't say it any more 21 and services. But my role as your Councilman 22 is to make sure that every resident of this 23 city is treated fairly and that their needs and 24 interest are a priority to me or for me. 25 This no vote is not a vote against  64 1 improved quality healthcare, but a vote for 2 fairness, procedure, and process. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 4 MR. KING: On the question, I put a 5 tremendous amount -- tremendous amount of 6 thought into this critically important decision 7 before me this evening. It's important to note 8 that my decision is my decision alone, not the 9 Mayor's decision, not Geisinger's decision. 10 It's my decision. It's my vote. My vote. 11 It's nobody else's vote. I've 12 weighed all the pros and cons. I've read the 13 e-mails from neighbors. I've listened to 14 concerns for the past few weeks along with 15 listening to Geisinger representatives, 16 constituents within the community, supporters 17 for and against change who spoke here this 18 evening. 19 While I'm empathetic with the 20 concerns of the neighbors surrounding Geisinger 21 and Nay Aug Park, I'm even more concerned about 22 the future of healthcare for the nearly 77,000 23 residents of the entire City of Scranton. 24 When the zoning change was 25 considered just over two years ago, the threat  65 1 of losing both Moses Taylor and Regional 2 hospitals was not as pressing as it is today. 3 Now, while Tenor Health is in the process of 4 trying to fund a potential purchase of these 5 two local hospitals, there's no guarantee that 6 this is going to happen. 7 I felt the proposed project two 8 years ago seemed to be more focused on parking 9 rather than expanding healthcare services. The 10 new plans for Geisinger expansion project 11 include addition of 84 more hospital beds 12 greatly needed, NICU expansion and will add an 13 additional 120 professional healthcare 14 positions among other additional services. 15 I do not want to gamble with the 16 future of healthcare in our great city. On a 17 personal level, all three of my daughters were 18 born in Geisinger. And as recent as two and a 19 half years ago, I was diagnosed with having 20 prostate cancer by a Geisinger doctor. 21 And while my surgery did not 22 actually occur at Geisinger, those doctors and 23 nurses there took care of my preop, MRIs and 24 stress tests, various other tests needed prior 25 to my surgery. And I'm just one of thousands  66 1 and thousands of patients who benefit from the 2 topnotch healthcare Geisinger CMC doctors and 3 nurses here in our city. 4 But they're overcrowded and they're 5 out of space. As indicated last week, there is 6 no designation between city institutional which 7 is 45 feet and civic which is 100 feet. If 8 approved, Geisinger has assured everyone on the 9 record that they will not exceed 75 feet. 10 I feel as though the new Geisinger 11 leadership team this time is far more 12 transparent. They're willing to show up to 13 neighborhood meetings which they have 14 consistently to listen to concerns. 15 They've also offered to include at 16 least one member of the neighborhood 17 association to serve on their planning team. I 18 hope they include more. They said in these 19 chambers that they will be mindful of lighting, 20 noise concerns along with esthetics on the 21 exterior of the building including landscaping. 22 It's important to note that all 23 plans will have to be approved and vetted by 24 City Planning Commission. So there are still 25 many safeguards in place to ensure they will  67 1 follow through with all local planning 2 requirements. 3 When elected to City Council, my 4 main goal was to improve our city and make 5 things better for residents of the City of 6 Scranton. Overall, I'm proud of my record 7 including improving city parks such as Nay Aug 8 Park where we've infused over 4 million dollars 9 in the park for park improvements, including 10 swimming pool, pickleball courts, tennis 11 courts, basketball court and more planned. 12 I ran for Council to help people, 13 not hurt them. I will be supporting the zoning 14 change presented to us by the Mayor for the 15 betterment of all citizens of this great city. 16 Thank you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 18 Anyone else on the question? 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have a great 20 deal to say on this and hopefully everyone can 21 hear me clearly. So over the last month or so 22 I've taken the time to listen to the concerns, 23 read your e-mails, meet with neighbors, meet 24 with representatives from Geisinger. 25 I do not make my decision tonight  68 1 lightly. I am in a particularly difficult and 2 unique position as the only Council member who 3 is a resident of the Hill Section and the only 4 Council member who is a healthcare provider. 5 I understand where my neighbors are 6 coming from. I get their frustrations and 7 worries about this process and changes to our 8 neighborhood. And I appreciate the fight they 9 have put into this. I also understand the 10 realities of healthcare and the implications 11 that this legislation will have on our 12 healthcare in our region. 13 As it has been mentioned earlier 14 multiple times that Geisinger is our only 15 trauma center. It, in fact, is a level two 16 trauma center. There's -- there's five levels 17 to a trauma center as one being the highest 18 level of care that someone can receive. 19 And many of those hospitals have 20 included a lot of research and teaching and 21 comprehensive care. And then the second is the 22 next level where you still have 24/7 surgeons 23 and that they're able to care for all injuries. 24 But, I mean, you still could potentially be 25 transferred out to a level one.  69 1 And then you have -- so level one 2 around us we do have Geisinger, Wyoming Valley 3 Geisinger, Danville, and Lehigh Valley Health 4 Network and Cedar Crest Hospital. But then 5 other ones nearby so the Lehigh Valley Hospital 6 in Hazleton and Wayne Memorial are the level 7 four hospitals. 8 So you would be transferred out of 9 those for more serious care. So it's easy 10 enough for people to say that you can travel to 11 those other hospitals, but many people cannot 12 and should not have to travel when they 13 suffered a trauma or need immediate care. 14 I know that we had two experiences 15 in the past when our daughter was a baby, and 16 we had to take her to the ED at Geisinger. And 17 we were so relieved and grateful to have a 18 hospital just a few blocks away that we could 19 bring her to. 20 I know that we are asking for a leap 21 of faith that Geisinger will do this right and 22 in a way that's respectful to the neighbors, 23 especially when honestly many of your concerns 24 have not previously been met. And our options 25 on Council here are limited.  70 1 Geisinger has determined that it is 2 not feasible for them to go through the zoning 3 board and they have been transparent that their 4 plan B if this was not to go through does not 5 include Scranton. 6 And I voted two and a half years ago 7 in hopes that they would find other options for 8 expansion and they did come to us with a 9 different option. This is different plan than 10 what was initially proposed. I believe it is 11 more reasonable and a better plan than from 12 what we've seen originally. 13 And I think that it is more of the 14 compromise that we would be looking for. This 15 vote in zoning change will give them -- would 16 give them more height to build up to. But 17 there's still much of this process that would 18 have to move forward. There's the Planning 19 Commission and permit process. 20 I don't agree that this is a blank 21 check. And I've also stated that I don't want 22 to see those homes on Colfax that have been 23 sold and demolished all for nothing. I don't 24 think that it should just remain an empty lot. 25 I do want them -- to see them be able to expand  71 1 on that property even though I was also very 2 sad to see those homes go. 3 Their plans include accommodation of 4 a hospital expansion for a clinical space that 5 they've stated their case for needing as well 6 as a parking garage to accommodate the new 7 clinical space. And that would be the parking 8 that would be required for having additional 9 rooms. 10 They've committed to regular 11 meetings with neighbors, to complete traffic 12 and lighting studies and to developing a 13 community benefits agreement. We are committed 14 to making sure that they follow through with 15 their promises. 16 I think that there's this notion and 17 some Council members had brought that this will 18 be just the end of it and there won't be 19 anything else that we could do from here. And 20 I really don't believe that's the case. 21 I do agree with Miss Hodowanitz's 22 suggestion about having a town hall meeting as 23 well as a long-term healthcare plan for our 24 area. And for me, there is no motivating 25 political factor. There is also no financial  72 1 factor. 2 I've never been employed by 3 Geisinger. I'm trying to balance the 4 healthcare needs for our city along with the 5 neighbors' quality of life. And we've been 6 asked tonight to consider the needs of our 7 residents. 8 And the health -- their health and 9 safety are the highest needs that I could think 10 of. I've also been asked to vote with my gut 11 which was -- is what I'll be doing tonight as I 12 always have done. And my gut's telling me that 13 if I vote no on this and this fails to pass, 14 our city will be at a major loss and our 15 healthcare will greatly suffer. 16 I cannot have that on my conscience. 17 I'll be voting yes on the proposed amendment. 18 MR.
