SCHUSTER: The only comment I 22 have on Third Order item is in regards to 3-C. 23 So can we just ask if our ARPA allocations, are 24 they being allocated 100 percent, are there any 25 claw backs that are occurring or are we  8 1 utilizing, allocating all of those funds? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those 3 questions. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Yeah, the 5 last update we had, they stated that they were. 6 I just want to -- if we could get an update on 7 that. 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? If not, 11 received and filed. Do any Council members 12 have any announcements at this time? 13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I 14 just want to wish people a happy Hanukkah if 15 they celebrate. Tonight's the third night of 16 it. It goes for eight nights. So it will be 17 until next Monday. And also Merry Christmas, 18 to those who celebrate Christmas and happy 19 Kwanzaa for those who celebrate Kwanza. So I 20 hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. 21 I did also want to say that, just 22 give me condolences to the family and loved 23 ones of the victims from the assault that 24 happened at the Jermyn apartments. I think 25 we're all really shocked that that had  9 1 happened. And I feel terrible to have heard 2 that that happened and just very sad events. 3 And then I hope the person who had 4 survived is able to recover from it. That's 5 all that I have. Thank you. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, I have one 8 announcement. The department of recycling just 9 wanted everyone to know that the recycling 10 calendars for 2026 are in the mail and are 11 headed towards our residents. 12 MR. MCANDREW: I would also like to 13 wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy 14 Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa and definitely a happy 15 and healthy new year. Two events that are 16 coming up, so the Victor Alfieri Society's 17 monthly dinner is early this year because of 18 the holiday. 19 So they wanted me to announce that 20 they will having this Thursday, December 18th 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., eggplant rollantini 22 which is a lot of people's favorites over there 23 or pasta and meatballs. It's $12 for members, 24 $14 for nonmembers. 25 And also, West Scranton High School,  10 1 this is going to be their second year of Deck 2 the Halls at West Scranton High School. Come 3 out and support their positive behavioral team. 4 It's a great event, this Saturday, December 5 20th from 9 to 1. Parents are free, children 6 tickets are $5. Children under 3 are $3. 7 You know, it will help you get in 8 the holiday spirit. They have interactive 9 theater, face painting, pictures with Santa, 10 games, cookies, hot cocoa. I'm very proud of 11 my students. They made a bunch of cookies I 12 dropped off today for this event and for 13 another event that they are having there. So 14 if you can, support this. It's a great event. 15 And that's all I have. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. There's one 17 more. Bob Bolus's 32nd annual Christmas 18 dinner, December 25th from noon until 6 p.m., 19 at All Saints Academy in West Scranton. It's 20 1425 Jackson Street. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 22 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 23 MR. SMURL: First speaker, Joan 24 Hodowanitz. 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,  11 1 Scranton. Since this is the last meeting for 2 2025 and we're in the mood to give thanks, I 3 think we should all pause also and thank our 4 municipal employees, those who we see picking 5 up our garbage or fighting fires or responding 6 to emergencies, the police. 7 Just think of how December, you 8 know, started. It's been so cold and how would 9 you like to be out there 5:00 in the morning 10 with a zero windchill picking up somebody 11 else's garbage or in those conditions fighting 12 a fire or responding to, you know, reports of 13 shots fired. 14 Didn't we just have a 15-year-old 15 child killed in West Scranton? This is a sad 16 way to end the summer. We lost two residents 17 in the Hotel Jerymn and a 15 year old in West 18 Scranton shot with a stolen firearm. 19 So, you know, I mean, people will 20 say, well, you know, they get paid well and 21 they get a lot of benefits that other people 22 don't get. Believe me, if you want to do their 23 job, you should apply for them and then you'll 24 get those benefits because the work is hard and 25 often a thankless task.  12 1 So my personal thanks to all of 2 those people who keep us safe, who clean our 3 city by picking up our nasty garbage and do all 4 of the other things that most of us don't want 5 to have to do for ourselves and I wish them the 6 best. 7 Speaking of picking up garbage, do 8 we have a contract yet for the DPW? 9 MR. SMURL: Not that I've heard of. 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, you know, 11 it's going to be one year on December 31st. I 12 suspect that contract is headed for arbitration 13 in the new year. Also, in December of 2026, 14 will be the expiration dates for the union 15 contracts for both police and fire. 16 Last time it took both of them over 17 one year to get new contracts. So don't you 18 think it would be a good idea if when the new 19 year comes around they start working on those 20 two contracts? That way, we could have 21 negotiations going on for police, fire, and DPW 22 simultaneously. 23 But, you know, I mean, those people 24 deserve a contract and they shouldn't have to 25 wait. And the people shouldn't have to pay all  13 1 of these labor Council fees and arbitration 2 fees and, you know, backpay and everything 3 else. Let's get it done and get it done right 4 this time. 5 Speaking of getting things done 6 right, I think it's a wonderful idea that Doris 7 Koloski is going to be appointed to the Human 8 Relations Committee. It was a sad day when we 9 lost Norma Jeffries to the Philadelphia area. 10 But at least we got Doris, you know, coming in 11 to serve on a commission. 12 We have a lot of very good people in 13 the community who offer their services. So I 14 thank them all. Speaking of services, I looked 15 at the agenda for tomorrow's County 16 Commissioners' meeting. And, of course, on the 17 agenda is the second reading of the budget for 18 2026 which Dave Bulzoni had asked to be delayed 19 until tomorrow because he needed to get his 20 arms around what the projected cost would be 21 for electricity. 22 So I have the legislative cover 23 sheet and you might be surprised to see that 24 thanks to all of these data centers that are 25 raising their ugly heads in Lackawanna County,  14 1 costs are expect to increase. The county may 2 anticipate a year over year cost increase of 3 approximately 42 percent. 4 So next year they're anticipating 5 the cost for the county to be $992,000. Now, 6 they got some energy saving projects that 7 they're looking at. And that will bring the 8 increase down to 34 percent. So the next raise 9 will be 1.3 million dollars, which brings us to 10 the city's anticipated electricity cost for 11 next year. It's a flat. 12 Almost $350,000 for 2025 and it's 13 going to be $350,000 next year. And if you 14 believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you on 15 Luzerne Street. 16 MR. SMURL: Mike Mancini. 17 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, 18 Scranton. Tonight, things to be thankful for. 19 Thankful to wake up every morning an American. 20 Thankful for every veteran. Those who have 21 served or are serving to ensure our every 22 freedom. 23 I'm thankful for growing up in 24 Scranton. Memories and things that could never 25 be taken away or taken for granted, growing up  15 1 in West Scranton the oldest of three boys to a 2 single mother and humble beginnings, I had so 3 many amazing memories. 4 I'm thankful for the kindness of our 5 city and its citizens. I'm thankful for 6 friends and family at times of need and when 7 not in need. I'm thankful for our first 8 responders, firefighters, police officers, and 9 our amazing DPW employees who brave the cold 10 weather and serve their city with compassion 11 and resolve. 12 Christmas is next Thursday. The 13 holiday could be tough on people, me included. 14 This past Saturday evening I drove through Nay 15 Aug Park and found the Christmas lights display 16 to be very thoughtful and easy on the eyes. 17 I'm thankful for all the volunteers who took 18 their time throughout the year dedicated to 19 keep our crown jewel and parks in amazing 20 condition, including those on the Recreation 21 Authority and Council President Smurl. 22 I'm thankful for those who work 23 directly for the homeless and stray animals. 24 I'm thankful for those who have attended the 25 Council meeting and those who pay attention to  16 1 how our local process works and affects us 2 daily, good, bad or indifferent. 3 I'm thankful for friendships made in 4 these very chambers. I'm thankful that this 5 will be our last meeting of our current 6 Council. The days of rubber stamps by Manny, 7 Moe and Jess will be over. I'm thankful for 8 next year's Council and will hold the Mayor 9 responsible for her actions and her lack of 10 detail regarding the topic which is our 11 requirement of those five chairs. 12 I'm thankful that we have an amazing 13 district attorney committed to our every safety 14 concern. Our concern is that our police 15 department is not operating properly. The core 16 organizational structure was changed disrupting 17 major components, primarily our detectives 18 division. 19 I would be thankful if the new 20 Council would investigate the need for a study 21 to address the complexity of our police 22 department. The recent police and first 23 responder calls are a reminder of how our 24 safety is important to everyone. 25 I would be thankful if our Mayor,  17 1 Business Administrator, Police Chief, head of 2 detectives, our District Attorney, Chief of 3 Detectives and Mr. McAndrew would meet with me 4 about my concerns. 5 I feel there are steps that are 6 missing when it comes to opioid related deaths 7 and drug activity in our city. Placing the 8 right people in the room for the right reasons 9 will have the right results. We need solutions 10 to our current climate. We need to have the 11 stigma that our Scranton Police Department is 12 the best in the area. 13 Think twice before you choose to do 14 something once. Mr. McAndrew, I believe that 15 you should be there, not only as a 16 representative of Council but also as a teacher 17 and a grandparent. Like myself, you care about 18 our future. 19 Personally, I could understand the 20 frustration with the administration when it 21 comes to most of your questions. Years -- 22 almost here next year. Soon you will demand 23 answers, something we will all be grateful 24 for. 25 I would like to be thankful if the  18 1 Mayor would make the unhoused task force 2 meetings public. Once again, with input from 3 those in attendance. I would be thankful if 4 the Mayor would place a monthly calendar on the 5 city website regarding days, times, and 6 locations of every authority, board, and 7 commission meeting. Since transparency is so 8 scrutinized, my recommendation is a fair 9 request. 10 Gratitude could transform common 11 days into Thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into 12 joy and change ordinary opportunities into 13 blessings, William Arthur Ward. I would like 14 to wish everybody a blessed holiday and a safe 15 start to the new year. Good evening, Scranton. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mark 17 Scarinci. 18 MR. SCARINCI: Pleasant good 19 evening, Council, Mark Scarinci, West Side. I 20 want to start by thanking the City of Scranton 21 residents for their civilized community because 22 I come from Las Vegas, east Las Vegas two years 23 ago. 24 And let me tell you, there's 25 security bars on the windows, security bars on  19 1 the front door, high perimeter fences 4 or 5 2 feet high, Doberman's in the front yard. We 3 don't have that kind of stuff over here. 4 There's no graffiti. There's no sneakers 5 hanging down from the cable wires. This is 6 paradise as close as it could be. So thank 7 you, Scranton, for being civilized. 8 Now, the real reason why I came over 9 here is you see this picture, Council, this 10 earthrise. Remember earth rise? This is taken 11 on the Apollo 8, 60-some years ago. I was a 12 little boy at the time. I could remember the 13 need of the post office stamp where you 14 could -- when I was a little boy, we would have 15 pen pals. 16 And I would put it on the stamp. 17 And it was 6 cents at the time. That photo of 18 earthrise has been diminished because we need a 19 new image. We need a new earthrise and here it 20 is, Council. Without further ado, I present to 21 you St. Nicholas of Myra. 22 This is it, St. Nicholas of Myra 23 also known as Santa Clause, which just happened 24 to be me. I spent last year at this time 27 25 days in Saratoga Springs, New York at Wilton  20 1 Mall. And I gave hundreds of children very 2 nice memories. And it was a very rewarding 3 experience with Cherry Hill programs right 4 there at the Viewmont Mall. 5 Now, I also want to point out to you 6 this picture. There's the picture of the 7 blessed Virgin Mary and us Catholics find that 8 a very sacred image. When I was getting these 9 pictures taken -- developed, the lady said it's 10 better if it's backlit. 11 You could see it better because I 12 thought it came out too dark. And I got to 13 thinking what a wonderful idea that is. How 14 can I backlight this photograph? And so I 15 thought about it, and I did it. And here it 16 is, Council. You could put it on your cell 17 phone. Right here and it comes out really nice 18 with the season of Christmas upon us. 19 So what I want to do is, I want to 20 spread that joy of that picture to all the 21 world. So right now if you have your camera, 22 you could take a snapshot with your camera. 23 And this is it. My name is Mark Scarinci. I'm 24 right there on Facebook. You could see my 25 picture and it looks right like that.  21 1 And I want you who are distressed, 2 who are feeling mental issues, I want you to 3 download that picture. And I want you to put 4 it on your cell phone on the lock screen just 5 like that because I'll tell you what, this 6 picture has healing properties. 7 There are many stories I could tell 8 you as a Santa Claus. But I'm going to leave 9 you with one. As sure as a Hollywood script, 10 there was this 19-year-old girl with tears in 11 her eyes and I said, "What's the matter? And 12 she said to me, "Santa, can I have a hug? 13 And I said, "Of course you could 14 have a hug." And so when we embraced, those 15 tears of sadness turned to joy. Those frowns 16 turned upside down with a smile. And I know 17 the reason why, Council, because when you see 18 that decorations and you see all the -- hear 19 all the music, the trick is this is this 20 peppermint oil. 21 And so I would get this peppermint 22 oil and I would make a little cologne and I 23 spray it and I would smell like peppermint 24 candy. And people would say you smell like 25 peppermint candy when I sit next to them. I'd  22 1 say, yeah, that's the point. 2 And so when she smelled that 3 peppermint candy and saw those decorations, 4 that embrace turned her right around. So I 5 wanted to tell you and the world that if you 6 are feeling distressed, you follow my 7 instructions. Thank you, Council, for your 8 actual time. 9 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler. 10 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 11 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and 12 homeowner. I want to wish all of my friends 13 and family of the Jewish faith a happy Hanukkah 14 and I send my thoughts and prayers are in 15 Australia for all of those people that lost 16 their lives. What a terrible thing celebrating 17 a wonderful holiday and they had their lives 18 snuffed out, just terrible. 19 Okay, moving on. It's a dead issue, 20 but last week, that vote to give Geisinger 21 their way was ridiculous. Three of you, you 22 know who you are, neither one of you has a mind 23 of your own. You didn't listen the last three, 24 four weeks to all the people coming up here 25 saying how that will inconvenience their lives,  23 1 their neighborhood. 2 It's just terrible. And, 3 Councilwoman Rothchild, you betrayed all of 4 your neighbors in that area. You didn't even 5 have the guts to come here last week and look 6 them in the face and vote no or and vote yes I 7 mean. 8 You should have voted no. You 9 pretend to be a champion for the Hill Section 10 but that's bull. All you do is listen to what 11 the Mayor says. That's going to change next 12 month when we have a new Council. 13 Next thing, 5-B, what is that? New 14 development in 1900 Dorothy Street? 15 MR. SMURL: It's for the sewer 16 connection. It's for the Missy Little League. 17 MR. SPINDLER: Oh, okay, well, 18 that's been done already. 19 MR. SMURL: No, it's not done. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: They put a bathroom 21 in that new building that's there. It's a 22 connection into the sewer. 23 MR. SPINDLER: Batting cages are 24 done. It's all -- it's all done. Rossi Rooter 25 was there doing all that plumbing. All right.  24 1 That's all I have. I want to wish everybody a 2 happy healthy new year and Merry Christmas and 3 see you next year. 4 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler -- I'm 5 sorry, Lee Morgan. Sorry, Les. 6 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 7 Lee Morgan. You know, today I was going to 8 talk about my litigation with ECTV. But, you 9 know, with the things that are happening here 10 and in the world, I thought maybe I'd change 11 what I was going to say. 12 And, you know, being a person who 13 grew up in this city, I'm just really shocked 14 the way things are really occurring here. I 15 have friends I work with and they always talk 16 about the deplorable conditions of the city and 17 all the crime. 18 And I just think that when you get 19 people hacked to death in their residence, 20 okay, or you're a child and you're walking down 21 the street and you get shot -- and then I add 22 it to all the other things that people I work 23 with talk about that they find on the internet 24 about the city about crime and the things that 25 are going on here.  25 1 You know, it's time to take a real 2 good hard look around. You know, the hospital 3 project is something totally different because 4 that's an antiquated building. And there is no 5 way to make that useful. I would just like to 6 add that here. 7 So that vote was just a detriment to 8 the residents of the city no matter who voted 9 for it or what they did. But, you know, you 10 take a look at what's going on. I think people 11 should go in the internet and look up the name 12 Franck Zuma, F-R-A-N-C-K-Z-U-M-A. He's a 13 Nigerian guy. He talks about America. 14 He talks about what's going on in 15 our country, talks about what's going on in the 16 world. You know, when you look at the things 17 that are going on in this world like Les was 18 talking about the murder of the Jewish people 19 in Australia and you look at the crime all over 20 the world and then you look at the president we 21 have and that we had, Biden. 22 And you see what's happening to 23 America, it's been going on for -- since the 24 60s. It's just been getting worse and worse 25 and worse.  26 1 You know, when you take a look at 2 people that immigrate into your country, you 3 have to see where they came from and how they 4 acted where they came because I pay a lot of 5 attention about things that are going on in the 6 country. 7 You know, people -- I don't think 8 the police here are prepared here for what's 9 going to happen in this country. I know 10 they're not prepared for what's going on in the 11 rest of our country. They're finding people 12 in plastic barrels with bleach poured on them, 13 dead, women, young girls. 14 They're murdering people across our 15 whole country everywhere, not just in some 16 places. They just got done arresting people in 17 Texas. But the people in Australia are totally 18 a different thing. They were radicalized 19 Islamic militants. 20 And we have them everywhere in our 21 country. I had a friend that I worked with at 22 work that was an Afghanistan. And when Joe 23 Biden left the border open, he said watch out 24 what's going to come. I think the FBI's 25 working overtime. I see what's going on here.  27 1 You know, when I look at the murder 2 at the Hotel Jermyn where people are hacked to 3 death with a machete, that's just not something 4 that ever happened in our city at one time. 5 And we just have elected officials 6 that are Democrats that are killing our 7 country. It's just amazing and you could see 8 it. And you see what's going on all over the 9 world. They are actually hunting Jewish people 10 down everywhere even in our own country not 11 letting them go to classes, not letting them 12 move around freely. 13 You know, and you take a look at 14 what's going on in some of our cities where 15 they are trying to enact sharia law. I don't 16 know if women are ready for sharia law in this 17 country or anybody else for that matter. Our 18 whole society is breaking down because we've 19 allowed people into our country that don't 20 share our values. 21 And then we elect people that 22 locking us out of the halls of government and 23 are just totally troubled by anything we say. 24 But you know what, the worst is yet to come. 25 And we have to thank all the people we elect.  28 1 You know, you should ask the Mayor to come up 2 here and explain to the residents how she 3 allowed the city to get like it is and then ask 4 yourself that question. Thank you. 5 MR. SMURL: Gene McDonough. 6 MR. MCDONOUGH: Gene McDonough, City 7 of Scranton resident. I too am here about the 8 CMC and the vote last week. To me, it was 9 just -- it was a travesty what happened. It 10 was an assault. You bypassed the law. And to 11 me, all politics are local. 12 And what I saw last week was 13 basically an assault on democracy. You guys, 14 you didn't listen to the residents. You 15 listened to the corporation, a small group of 16 people, most of who don't live in the area. 17 The president lives 45 minutes away. 18 And that's who you listened to. You 19 listened to our state rep. You listened to our 20 outside politicians who are supposed to 21 represent the area, not Scranton. You were 22 elected to represent Scranton. To me, it was 23 like Goliath versus David. And we just got 24 crushed. 25 Geisinger's motto, we treat everyone  29 1 as we would like to be treated. I don't think 2 that happened last week. Now, I walked away 3 here -- I walked away from the meeting last 4 week and thought that we at least had a chance. 5 I was pretty disappointed when I saw 6 people with prepared speeches. That means we 7 didn't have a chance. I found out about this 8 late and I know there was some meetings held. 9 But what I saw last week was 10 basically bypassed -- what everybody's been 11 saying. And I started getting mad at you guys. 12 And I know you guys. I know you guys 13 personally. I work with you guys. And I know 14 you're good people. I know you care about it. 15 And I thought, okay, don't get mad 16 at the people. Look at the process. Where did 17 the process break down? This is what I do for 18 a living. I step back and I look at the 19 process. And I had an epiphany. 20 We're doing -- and somebody just 21 mentioned for the last 50 years we've been 22 handing more and more power over to 23 corporations. And that's what I saw happen 24 last week. 25 Government by the people, for the  30 1 people. Government of the people, by the 2 people for the people. Definition of people is 3 a citizen, not a corporation. Scholarly 4 analysis of what that meant, elected 5 representatives are in place to represent the 6 common man. 7 I'll add not the corporations and 8 the oligarchs. I hear time and time again our 9 elected representatives are doing business of 10 the people. You are supposed to be 11 representing the people, not just doing the 12 business of the people. 13 You are supposed to be listening to 14 us. Voters don't feel heard anymore. We see 15 the condition, not just Scranton's in but the 16 nation. And voters don't feel heard. 17 Corporations and the wealthy play by different 18 rules. 19 We see it time and time and time 20 again. And last week was a perfect example. 21 That corporation made 237 million dollars. 22 They can't build elsewhere? They can't build 23 in a nonresidential area? Who are you guys 24 elected to represent? You were elected to 25 represent the city, not the county, the city.  31 1 What I heard last week was you were 2 representing the county. I heard that from two 3 different representatives up there. While I 4 appreciate it, again, you guys care and you're 5 looking at the big picture. 6 You were elected to represent us, 7 not the county. We have representatives over 8 in another building to represent the county. I 9 don't know how many meetings you had with 10 the -- how many meetings you had with the local 11 people. But I heard it was, like, two or 12 three. 13 Was there any outreach done to the 14 people who are make $21,000 a year in the area? 15 Most of the people that are showing up to these 16 meetings -- we're doing okay for ourselves. 17 Did we reach out to the people who aren't and 18 what they're going to do when they lose their 19 homes. And they have bad credit and can't find 20 another house. 21 Did we think about those people? 22 Did we make any promises? Are there -- you 23 know, were there meeting minutes taken for 24 these meetings with Geisinger? I don't know. 25 I hope there were because I'm going to request  32 1 them. I heard there was an agreement to 75 2 feet. 3 I don't know if it's in writing. By 4 the sounds of it, it wasn't. I don't know if 5 it was. I apologize if it is. But they 6 haven't kept a promise yet to us. The 7 helicopters flying over our neighborhood. They 8 bought properties when they said they are not 9 going to and they continue to develop when they 10 said they're not going to. 11 We made what sounds like a 100 year 12 agreement on a handshake with people who aren't 13 going to be here in 100 years. Jerry, you're a 14 businessman. You don't do that in business. 15 Again, I want to thank you guys. And you could 16 see I'm upset about this. It really frustrated 17 me to see what happened last week. 18 I don't like coming here. I don't 19 like coming and doing public speaking. But I 20 do want to thank you guys for being here. And 21 again, I know you guys are good people. I know 22 the Mayor, in my opinion, I'm going to ruffle 23 some feathers here. Personally I think the 24 Mayor is one of the best mayors we had in a 25 long time.  33 1 I think she's got a bigger picture. 2 I like her for future representatives. I think 3 her and Eileen are a great team. I think 4 they've done a lot of good. And again, thank 5 you all. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. 6 Stay safe. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all 8 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to 9 address Council? 10 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. And 11 again, people are hungry at the holidays. We 12 can't forget our obligation to our other man or 13 maybe we can, but we shouldn't. Now, there was 14 a woman killed up on Harrison and Mulberry. 15 Two people struck while trying to cross the 16 road. 17 There's a light at that 18 intersection. Maybe we should change it to a 19 stop sign since stop signs are safer. Pull 20 down the stop light up there near the park and 21 pull them down and put up stop signs because we 22 all know that stop signs will be more 23 effective. 24 We're not going to change it up 25 there. I don't see how Center City is going to  34 1 be safer with stop signs. We need to apply it 2 in Center City, we need to apply it everywhere 3 or it's just not logical. Or maybe that's the 4 point of what I'm saying that blowing down stop 5 signs -- blowing stop lights for stop signs 6 isn't logical and it's not a solution. 7 I was going to talk again about the 8 departing and it was mentioned here about the 9 departing people. Last week Mr. King was 10 yelling about it's my vote, my vote. When I'm 11 up here I'm going to do my vote. It's not his 12 vote. It's the people's vote. 13 He's a representative of the people. 14 We're a representative government. What's 15 given to him is the authority to vote, not on 16 his own feelings; but for the betterment of the 17 community and the betterment of the people he 18 represents. I understand he might think that 19 is the best representation for the people he 20 represents. 21 But it's never my vote. I am voting 22 for the people I represent as best as I can. 23 When you say it's my vote, you disenfranchise 24 everyone you serve. Dr. Rothchild, I was not 25 surprised whatsoever. Last time it came up  35 1 before Council for CMC Geisinger's change you 2 were on the bandwagon for this change all 3 along. 4 And at the last minute you flipped. 5 And the only reason you flipped as I said 6 beforehand was it was three weeks before the 7 election. Then suddenly, everything was in 8 Geisinger flipped over to a no vote. It wasn't 9 surprising because after a five or six minute 10 explanation on the phone which you always do, 11 you always give all the excuses in the world 12 and then say yes and let it go by. 13 You ran the people over with your 14 vote. And you ran over your own community. 15 But I guess that's theirs to blame because they 16 put you back in office after you did this last 17 time. 18 I hope the people in Scranton have a 19 good holiday season. It's been a tough year 20 for a number of things, for food, for water 21 bills, for electric, for public serve -- for 22 the homeless. We've got a lot of things on our 23 plate going forward. 24 And we need to take that kindness 25 that we have and work it a little bit better,  36 1 not behind closed doors as part of an 2 unsheltered -- because they're not unsheltered. 3 They're homeless. 4 They're sitting on cardboard boxes 5 below a bridge. Unsheltered is the dog in your 6 doghouse in your backyard. But sometimes they 7 are fed and taken care of better than we take 8 care of our own homeless. 9 Now, before my section here ends, 10 I'm going talk about this HARB vote that is 11 coming before you. It's invalid. Three of the 12 five members of the HARB Board aren't allowed 13 to vote, aren't allowed to participate. They 14 did. They voted on this. That is three out of 15 five that voted on this who aren't allowed to. 16 When there are three people who 17 can't vote on a five member board, there is no 18 quorum. What they sent to you is not legally 19 binding because two people are not a quorum if 20 the other three can't participate. And there 21 were no alternatives there. So whatever your 22 vote on it, is absolutely useless because it's 23 an illegitimate vote. 24 And anything that comes out of HARB 25 since May 1st is illegitimate because they have  37 1 never had from that point on a quorum. Good 2 night. 3 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 4 Virgil Argenta. I would like to discuss the 5 pressing issue that affects us all, 6 homelessness in Scranton. Each morning as I 7 travel to church shortly after 6 a.m., I 8 observe firsthand the challenges facing our 9 community. 10 Individuals are often seen gathering 11 on sidewalks while tents are discreetly 12 positioned out of public view. Others walk the 13 streets carrying their belongings and 14 backpacks, carts or bags seeking food or a safe 15 place to rest. 16 A clear illustration of the 17 disparity between them experiencing some 18 hardship and those who enjoy stability. My son 19 who serves as a police officer in another state 20 has relayed many heartbreaking accounts from 21 this overnight shifts involving individuals 22 living unsheltered. 23 These experiences underscore the 24 people affected are not merely statistics but 25 they're members of families. They're mothers,  38 1 fathers, siblings, children who are the 2 deserving of empathy and assistance 3 particularly with the holiday season 4 approaching. 5 In previous years, Scranton was home 6 to several 24 hour establishments such as Tony 7 Hardings, the Glider, Chick's Diner, the Waffle 8 House, Gabe's Waco Diner that served as 9 important community spaces providing 10 individuals who had nowhere to go with a 11 welcoming environment to socialize, find warmth 12 and foster connections. 13 Currently we have an unhoused task 14 force that operates privately. So secretively 15 that even its own members are often unaware of 16 when and where meetings are held or what the 17 agenda includes. Strangely, this organization 18 believes it is acceptable to keep everything 19 closed off excluding the public from attending 20 or even offering ideas, suggestions money, 21 help, support. 22 There may be concerns that public 23 participation could introduce innovative 24 solutions with meaningful impact. You have no 25 idea what some people in this room, what they  39 1 own, who they are or what they're connected to 2 and how we can help because we're private 3 people. 4 For example, what if we're to 5 propose establishing a shared service model 6 where the school district could utilize one of 7 our garbage trucks while in exchange, we might 8 have access to a school gymnasium or an 9 unhoused school building that's not being used 10 for shelter purposes? 11 Additionally, the county could 12 coordinate with Colts Bus Service to transport 13 the unhoused individuals to the designated 14 location allowing that unhoused task force to 15 maintain operational oversight and the unhoused 16 task force could even take credit for this 17 idea. 18 Ultimately as taxpayers, we are the 19 supporters of the city, county, and schools. 20 We're the taxpayers. We're the investors. It 21 is reasonable for the public to request 22 representation in these discussions. And 23 that's what I'm requesting, a seat at the 24 table. 25 It would allow the city, county,  40 1 school district to work together for a 2 worthwhile cause, show us how much they really 3 care about homelessness in our community. 4 Addressing homelessness requires community wide 5 commitment. 6 I encourage you to support this 7 initiative so that we develop a practical plan 8 and ensure everyone has at least temporary 9 shelter in cold weather like you all do. 10 We have warnings advising people to 11 keep their pets indoors when it's cold. And I 12 completely agree with that 1,000 percent. So 13 should we not extend that same courtesy and 14 care to human beings as well? 15 Let this sink in, Council. Give 16 this consideration. Whoever is on that 17 unhoused task force, bring this to your private 18 meeting. Have a Merry Christmas. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 20 MS. KOLOSKI: Good evening, Council, 21 Doris Koloski, Hill Section resident. Okay, 22 everything that Mr. Argenta that said about the 23 homeless, I think hopefully they will take that 24 into consideration because that's a pretty good 25 idea.  41 1 And being that the county is 2 involved with the homeless, maybe they could 3 use that county bus for transportation also 4 that takes people to doctors' appointments. 5 All right. I'm here to talk about the 6 hospital. 7 First I want to say, Mr. Smurl, I'm 8 glad you said on WBRE today that you didn't 9 want a hundred foot garage in your 10 neighborhood. I'm glad you acknowledged that. 11 And, Dr. Rothchild, I'm glad you're better in 12 your attendance today. 13 We have a concern as the neighbors 14 after last week where you voted to give the 15 hospital unfettered desire to do whatever they 16 want by changing the zoning and not having them 17 go to variance. And we want our seat at the 18 table. That's what I'm here about tonight. 19 The hospital said they would take 20 into consideration, they would have the 21 neighbors have a seat at the table while 22 they're making their plans out. We want you to 23 know that the hospital, yes, it's a concern for 24 the whole neighbor for healthcare. 25 But for the aesthetics and for what  42 1 the plans are that are going to be done for the 2 hospital, it's really up to the neighbors that 3 are going to be looking at that every day. We 4 should have a seat at the table. And we want 5 you to know that the Hill Neighborhood 6 Association does not represent us. 7 The President of the Hill 8 Neighborhood Association, Brian Grassi went on 9 Facebook calling us crybabies, morons and a few 10 other things. He posted boxes of tissues with 11 the things saying you'll need these when they 12 vote you down. 13 So we don't feel that they are going 14 to represent us. We don't feel the people that 15 don't live in the immediate area where the 16 hospital is building should have that seat at 17 the table to confer with the hospital. 18 And I know that the Hill 19 Neighborhood Association is trying to get a 20 committee together to report back to them. We, 21 the Area Park Neighbors, feel that we should 22 have that seat at the table. 23 And people that voted to give the 24 hospital whatever they wanted and have been 25 talking to the hospital since the summer  43 1 without including the neighbors, should be 2 giving the hospital staff, Mr. Nick Coleman and 3 whoever else is involved to convince them that 4 it has to be somebody in the immediate area who 5 is absolutely affected by this building, not 6 somebody from Quincy Avenue or the six of 7 Wheeler. 8 It should be somebody from Arthur 9 Avenue, somebody from Colfax Avenue in the 10 immediate area, the 200 blocks, the 400 block 11 and possibly the 500 block of Colfax, the 1800 12 block of Vine, anybody that is going to see 13 from their porches what is going to be there, 14 has to have a seat at the table. 15 And that's what I'm here to say. 16 And I feel that you have the hospital's ear and 17 obviously a few of you did. You should be 18 using the hospital's ear to whisper to them 19 that it needs to be somebody from our immediate 20 neighborhood. 21 MR. SMURL: Doris. 22 MS. KOLOSKI: Yes. 23 MR. SMURL: The meeting we had, the 24 meeting with Dr. Rothchild and myself, I had 25 offered while GCMC was there to take anyone and  44 1 meet with them. That offer still stands. It 2 doesn't go away. No one volunteered. So if 3 you give me a name or call me, and I'll arrange 4 for you -- 5 MS. KOLOSKI: You will get a letter 6 with the people's names on it that volunteered 7 from Arthur Avenue. My name is on it for 8 Colfax. 9 MR. SMURL: Okay. 10 MS. KOLOSKI: And everybody at the 11 Council will be getting that letter if you 12 didn't already get it and so will the hospital. 13 So because we don't want people making the 14 decision for what we have to look at that 15 doesn't live anywhere near it. 16 MR. SMURL: That's understandable. 17 MS. KOLOSKI: And I also want to 18 wish all of you a very happy holiday whatever 19 you celebrate and happy, healthy new year. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 21 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little, 22 Scranton. We're going through very critical 23 times right now at every level, personal, the 24 city, the county, the state, the country, 25 internationally.  45 1 I was interested tonight to hear 2 about the private meeting between Candice Owens 3 and Erica Kirk because of that whole thing 4 going on is exemplary of everything else that's 5 going on. And a lot of it has to do with the 6 media and the judiciary and especially around 7 Christmastime, Hanukkah time, Ramadan time, 8 religion. 9 I could tell you the thing that 10 happened in Australia was a false flag. I 11 don't know how many people know what false 12 flags are. It's when things are reported that 13 the people behind them is just wrong. 14 And what I see happening in Scranton 15 and this whole thing is representative 16 government. I've often talked about the Home 17 Rule Charter how it takes -- I don't want to 18 say democracy because that word as all been 19 done. 20 But it takes the due process of a 21 constitutional republic just into crazy land, 22 how much our representatives are paid, how much 23 judges are paid and the length of their terms 24 and the way things can -- the due process and 25 questioning any of these decisions.  46 1 It's a fact that a lot of these 2 judge's decisions partisan and they're 3 administrative. And they -- a complete 4 antithesis of a democratic republic 5 constitutional governance, US Constitution, PA 6 Constitution. 7 As far as the homeless in Scranton 8 goes, I have a great perspective on all of 9 this. I went to the Mayor many years ago and 10 talked with her. She couldn't help me. I 11 applied for the same grants that the people 12 from Scranton Housing Authority applied for and 13 I should have been -- I applied like four 14 times. 15 I got intimate with the Area Agency 16 on Aging. But even before that, I spent every 17 day at the library. I was involved in family 18 court, which I believe is trafficking children 19 basically into single mother households and the 20 whole racial thing all over the place. 21 Remembering when the Mayor first got 22 into office she invited BLM and Intifada come. 23 And I'm looking over all my old footage of all 24 the things that happened then. And it's a 25 critical time right now.  47 1 As far as the homeless in Scranton 2 is, we got Scranton Housing Authority. And the 3 Mayor is in charge of that on paper. She 4 appoints not only the police depart -- the 5 Police Chief and the Fire Chief, but she 6 appoints the code enforcement and the members 7 of the board of Scranton Housing Authority. 8 And they're like volunteers. They 9 don't get paid nothing. And they go and they 10 vote at these meetings. And everything's been 11 wrong with these meetings, including the 12 wording in the minutes. I've noticed wording 13 in the minutes in the courts and everything. 14 But, you know, they vote. They go 15 in there to vote for the Executive Director who 16 worked for the District Attorney's Office who 17 is hiring all kinds of District Attorney's 18 Offices who's putting SPD people in jail like 19 Herring and Juan {phonetic}. 20 But he was the only person they 21 could vote for when they went. That ain't 22 democracy when there's one person running and 23 that person's making $183,000 to run it. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.  48 1 MOTIONS. 2 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 3 any motions or comments? 4 MR. KING: No motions, I just want 5 to wish everyone happy holiday. It's been an 6 honor to serve on Scranton City Council. And I 7 wish the new Council that's going to be seated 8 shortly all the best moving forward for our 9 great city. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 11 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 12 comments? 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. So I just want 14 to say thank you to all of our city workers 15 over the past few weeks, especially the 16 Scranton Police Department and Fire Department 17 have been dealing with a lot. 18 Condolences to those families that 19 have lost loved ones and just say Merry 20 Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy holidays to 21 everyone and Happy New Year. That's all. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 23 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 24 comments? 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: No, I don't have  49 1 anything at this time. Thank you. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 3 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 4 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, so this being 5 our last meeting for 2025 and we're losing two 6 Council people. And, you know what, it's not 7 easy serving on Council. It's not as easy as 8 everyone thinks. 9 There's a few armchair quarterbacks 10 that maybe won't agree with me, but, you know, 11 we juggle our families. We juggle our 12 full-time jobs. We juggle being on Council 13 trying to find time for everyone. I know 14 people just think we come here once a week and 15 that's it. And that's ridiculous to think that 16 or be accused of that. 17 So a lot of hard work goes into the 18 decisions we make, whether we agree with each 19 other or not. But with that said, I mean, I 20 would like to wish Mr. Smurl and Mr. King, you 21 know, whatever future holds for them, the best 22 for them. And I want to thank them for 23 serving. 24 And serving along side of them was a 25 part of the process. And you'll be missed, I'm  50 1 sure. So congrat -- you know, not 2 congratulations, but best of luck in all of 3 your endeavors. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 5 MR. MCANDREW: You too, Mr. King -- 6 Kinger. I don't think he could hear me over 7 there. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I just want to agree 9 with those sentiments. Thank you to Councilman 10 King and Councilman Smurl for your service to 11 the city. And I've appreciated being on 12 Council with the both of you and also wish you 13 the best of luck. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll also echo those 16 sentiments at this point in time. It was great 17 serving with you, Mr. Smurl and also Mr. King. 18 And I'm sure we'll be bumping into each other 19 in the future and good luck with all of your 20 endeavors. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 22 MR. KING: Thank you. It's been a 23 pleasure working with all of you. 24 MR. SMURL: Absolutely. Well, it 25 is -- this was probably the fastest three years  51 1 of my life. We did a great deal of work this 2 year together, agreeing or disagreeing. But we 3 never took it out of this place. 4 Our agreements, all of our -- 5 everybody's heart went into every decision 6 we've all had. And everybody should know that. 7 Everybody did what they thought at the time was 8 the best for the city or was the best for the 9 city. I think we did great. 10 I think our new Council is going to 11 do very well. And I can't wait for the new 12 Council to get started. And that will come 13 really quickly, but thank you, everyone. 14 Frank. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

SMURL: What is the 18 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 19 Committee on Finance? 20 MR. KING: As Chairperson for the 21 Committee on Finance, I recommend final passage 22 of this resolution. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 24 MR. SMURL: On the question? 25 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I've  57 1 made my opinions known on this for quite some 2 time even going back to past capital budgets. 3 You know, it was brought up tonight by Miss 4 Hodowanitz about rising utility costs that 5 weren't, you know, addressed in the -- in this 6 year's budget. 7 This resolution is to expand City 8 Hall. We've made major park improvements that 9 are going to need maintenance. We're going to 10 be doing a training center at the CTC. We have 11 the Serrenti Center. We have areas in the city 12 that are going to need to be maintained. 13 It's nice to have these things. 14 ARPA spending was used to do them. And we're 15 going to need to maintain them moving forward. 16 And I am afraid that expanding City Hall is 17 going to be something that sets us up for a 18 deficit down the road. 19 We also have a DPW contract that 20 hasn't been settled yet which is going to cause 21 expenditures to rise in the budget. With this 22 one here, you have both your expenditure side 23 rising because we're taking on more property. 24 We may be, you know, going up to 3 25 million dollars on renovations to that  58 1 building. And we're also taking away from the 2 revenue side by taking that building off the 3 tax rolls which compounds how this affects the 4 city budget. And for those reasons I will be 5 voting no for Item 7-D. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 7 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I stated my 8 position anything related to this legislation 9 with the purchase of the building next door. 10 You know, so first of all, we're taking it off 11 the tax rolls. That's obvious. 12 But it's a commercial building. And 13 when developers buy a commercial building, 14 especially downtown, their thought process is 15 going to be revenue producing, all right? 16 Every square foot should produce revenue. If 17 you're a good businessman, that's a good 18 business plan, right? 19 That's not what's going to happen 20 next door. There's revenue they're going to -- 21 on paper as of yet that's going to -- first, we 22 lose -- it's off the tax rolls. But there is 23 no clear plan what they're going to do with the 24 remainder of the building outside of the LIPS 25 Department and the command center.  59 1 It's a three-story building. It's 2 just going to cost us money. It's not going to 3 produce money. So that again, one of the many 4 reasons. And, you know, I haven't forgotten 5 and you shouldn't forget that, you know, the 6 conflict is the biggest reason why I am not in 7 favor of next door. 8 And that's the donation conflict 9 that, you know, that media doesn't really want 10 to entertain and that's okay, but that doesn't 11 make it right. So again, I'll continue with my 12 vote no on anything related to this in good 13 conscience. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 15 Anyone else? Roll call please. 16 MS.
