Before we 19 get started, we won't be introducing items 5B 20 and 5E as they didn't meet our deadline. So we 21 will be hearing the other items on the agenda 22 tonight. So please dispense with the reading 23 of the minutes. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER. 25 3.A. CORRESPONDENCE DATED JANUARY 8,  4 1 2026 FROM CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION FOR 2 BUDGET TRANSFER FOR MULTIPLE 2025 CLOSEOUT 3 ITEMS NEEDED TO SUPPLEMENT THE ACCOUNT. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Are there any 5 comments on any of the Third Order items? All 6 right. I just have one comment. Last week I 7 did ask there was three different salt 8 purchases. Here in Item 3-A there is a budget 9 transfer of $49,000 for salt. Can we just 10 clarify that with the administration as well as 11 $100,000 for IT hardware and then $40,000 12 towards -- it moved from pave cuts into water. 13 Is that 40,000 -- can we just ask if 14 that 40,000 is a savings from our third party 15 contract? 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask that 17 question. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 19 very much. If there's no other comments, 20 received and filed. All right. Do any Council 21 members have any announcements at this time? 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have two 23 announcements. First, I'd like to make mention 24 that this week the Public Utility Commission 25 will be holding hearings. They're going to be  5 1 at the University of Scranton on this Thursday 2 at 1 and then another one at 6 p.m. 3 On the campus of the university, it 4 will be at Brendan Hall on the 5th floor. The 5 address is 320 Madison Avenue. And this will 6 be because of the proposed water rate hikes, 7 which we had seen fairly recently and were able 8 to fight against with these hearings. 9 And they were able to get reduced so 10 that it wasn't as high of a rate hike as they 11 initially proposed. And so I hope that we'll 12 be able to see a result like that again, but 13 need enough people to be speaking out against 14 it and to attend the public hearings. 15 I personally already think that the 16 rates are high enough. I know on my bill I see 17 double the -- like double the water rate from 18 what I used to have and spending a lot of money 19 on water. And I'm sure the rest of the 20 residents in Scranton are feeling it too. 21 So I want to make sure that people 22 can attend it or aware of those hearings and 23 able -- if they're able to attend. 24 And then the second thing that I 25 wanted to announce, I don't know if other  6 1 Council members were going to mention it, but I 2 think it's pretty exciting the upgrade that we 3 received today in our investment rating. And 4 that's something that's improved over the 5 years. 6 At one point we weren't even 7 receiving an investment rating because we were 8 doing so poorly financially as a city. And now 9 we're at the level of A-minus. So that really 10 shows some great financial stability and 11 financial work that the city has put in over 12 the years, really proud that -- proud of us to 13 have received that. 14 And it's just like getting a really 15 great credit score that allows you to if you 16 needed to borrow to get lower rates and also 17 does a lot in terms of showing people that 18 Scranton is a great place to invest in as a 19 city, potential businesses. So that's a really 20 positive thing that I wanted to make note of. 21 Thank you. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 23 Any other Council members have any 24 announcements? 25 MR. FLYNN: Yes, I just have one  7 1 announcement, City Hall, the Department of 2 Public Works will be closed on Monday, January 3 19th in observance of Martin Luther King Day. 4 So just both garbage and recycling will be one 5 day behind. I'll speak more on some of the 6 other stuff in Fifth Order. Thanks. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Any other 8 announcements? Okay. Fourth Order. 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 10 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker is 12 Francis McHale. 13 MR. MCHALE: Good evening. My name 14 is Francis McHale. I thank you for your 15 service. I live in the Nativity section of 16 South Scranton. With the closing of Nativity 17 Church in June, our parish community is now 18 melded into one church at Sacred Heart. 19 Just this past September, the school 20 auditorium was the site of a very successful 21 second annual rummage and food sale. It was a 22 very important fundraiser for us. And it was 23 combination of our Latino and Caucasian 24 parishioners pulled together to make it a 25 success.  8 1 It created a sense of solidarity for 2 our otherwise first parish community. We're 3 contemplating expanding it into a full-fledged 4 late summer bizarre in 2026. But now there's a 5 big cloud hanging over our future plans. 6 It's the US Immigration and Customs 7 Enforcement Agency called ICE. Since at least 8 this past September, they have been running 9 rampant through our South Scranton 10 neighborhoods. 11 By just living in South Side 12 attending bilingual masses at Nativity Church 13 and other church activities, I've developed 14 many Latino friendships. They tell me they and 15 their children are terrified about being 16 stopped by ICE at any moment in their daily 17 travels. 18 Let me just give you some of the 19 specific ICE staged enforcement actions I'm 20 aware of since September. In September of 21 2025, nine ICE agents remove five workers over 22 the course of two days who were rehabbing a 23 house that had been damaged by fire seven years 24 ago. 25 The house is at the corner of  9 1 Pittston Avenue and Willow Street right behind 2 the bike shop. In a second incident in 3 midSeptember, I helped a long-time Hispanic 4 friend with a routine matter at his apartment 5 house. 6 In the course of that visit, I met a 7 husband and wife who were his tenants. The man 8 spoke fluent English. He said he was from 9 Honduras. I told him in 2002 I visited El 10 Salvador for two weeks and traveled right up to 11 the Honduran border. 12 He was pleased to hear that I was so 13 close to his native land. Two weeks later he 14 was detained by ICE in front of South Scranton 15 Intermediate School on Maple Street. He had 16 just dropped off his stepdaughter for classes 17 at the school. 18 Soon thereafter he self-deported 19 back to Honduras. The family is still left 20 here. Another incident on an October morning 21 at 7 a.m., ICE agents in two unmarked SUVs 22 surrounded a van on the corner of Birch Street 23 and South Webster Avenue and removed two of the 24 four occupants. 25 They have since self-deported to  10 1 Ecuador, one leaves behind a two year old and a 2 ten month old. The mother and children 3 recently returned from Ecuador. The mother was 4 born and raised in Queens, New York. She found 5 conditions in Ecuador not suitable to raise her 6 children. 7 Their hope is to have (inaudible) 8 the father return some day. But under current 9 conditions, this is a distant dream. Perhaps 10 the most startling incident that happened that 11 I'm aware of happened on Thursday, December 12 18th exactly one week before Christmas. 13 A group of about 25 of us were at a 14 meeting at a local university discussing ICE 15 and one of the participants talked about a very 16 trying time she had earlier in that day 17 assisting a woman and her child whose husband 18 was picked up that very morning in South 19 Scranton by ICE agents in an unmarked vehicle 20 accompanied by a Scranton patrol car. 21 One week later on Christmas Eve I 22 attended a 4 p.m. mass at Sacred Heart Church 23 on Prospect Avenue. The mass was very long. 24 As I was leaving the church, I encountered a 25 Hispanic man who I knew well who was coming  11 1 early to get ready for the 6 p.m., Spanish 2 mass. 3 This man is a Eucharistic minster. 4 Two years prior, he single-handedly renovated 5 the rectory at Sacred Heart's Church. 6 I asked him how things were going. 7 He told me that ICE was not only all over the 8 city picking people up, but up and down the 9 Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys. So I just want 10 to let you know what's going on around here. 11 You talked about the credit rating. 12 The reason why the credit rating's improved, 13 it's supply and demand. These people are 14 moving in, filling up the houses. Okay, ICE 15 will come and go. The Scranton Police 16 Department will be here forever. 17 They're making a lasting impression 18 on these people. And it's not good. Thank you 19 for your kind attention to this matter. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next 21 speaker is Joan Hodowanitz. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 23 Scranton. I hope I understood that removing 24 Item 5-D as in Delta, because it was not 25 submitted in a timely manner.  12 1 MR. SCHUSTER: So 5-B. 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: D? 3 MR. SCHUSTER: B. 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: 5-B. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: 5-B and -- 6 MS. HODOWANITZ: Is that the only 7 one you're removing? 8 MR. SCHUSTER: And 5-E. And we will 9 be introducing those on the 20th. 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: So 5-D still 11 stands. That's the appointment of Mr. Cusick 12 as Director of DPW. Okay, I saw that was he 13 was appointed effective January 1st. Is it a 14 requirement for City Council to approve his 15 appointment or not? 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Is it a requirement? 17 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yes. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Wasn't that 20 submitted late? I mean, I saw it was stamped 21 received on, what, December 31st, and he's 22 effectively director as of January 1st. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Correct. 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. And so he's 25 been paid already. I thought that these  13 1 appointments were supposed to come to you 2 before they actually started working. Is that 3 not true? 4 MR. SCHUSTER: It's not. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: So this doesn't 6 matter that this came to you late. I mean, the 7 man is very impressive. I read all 12 pages of 8 his resume. I was sleepy by the end, but the 9 man is very impressive. 10 I just hope that he stays for some 11 length of time that we don't need a, you know, 12 short term director; but we shall see. Which 13 also brings us to DPW's contract. We've now 14 been without a contract for 378 days. Any 15 progress? 16 MR. SCHUSTER: There's some dates on 17 the table. But not a meeting scheduled at this 18 point in time. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, I foresee 20 that one going to arbitration. Let's see, 5-C, 21 that is the adjustments for the clerical staff 22 in the City Council's office. That's well 23 earned and well deserved. But why wasn't that 24 addressed when the budget was being prepared? 25 MR. SCHUSTER: So it was addressed  14 1 when the budget was being prepared. It was 2 supposed to be included in the budget, but it 3 was overlooked. 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, so you're 5 opening the budget to get it passed, okay. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Correct. 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Hopefully that 8 won't happen again in the future. And it's not 9 on the agenda for tonight. But in the previous 10 week, the payroll preparation tax, I don't know 11 if anybody looks at that; but 2022, 2023, and 12 2024, the amounts taken in far exceeded the 13 amounts budgeted. 14 So it seems the payroll preparation 15 tax is a major success at least in my eyes. So 16 that was a good thing that is helping the city. 17 What's not so good is the City's website again. 18 I mentioned this last week I was looking for 19 the union contracts online. 20 And you delve down and you get to 21 the CBAs and there are only 13 documents. And 22 most of them are very, very old. The 23 current -- not the current -- yes, the current 24 police CBA isn't even on the website. And I 25 mentioned this last week.  15 1 I understand that they always revise 2 the websites. But why drop off documentation? 3 That should be there. That's a public 4 document. Taxpayers pay for union fees and 5 union salaries. So I don't know who is running 6 IT, but they should take a look at that. When 7 they reengineer those website pages, documents 8 should not disappear. 9 And finally, I want to talk about 10 Lake Scranton. I was listening to the news 11 about all the these data centers in Archbald 12 and Mayfield and Jessup. Okay, there is not a 13 plan for the city itself of Scranton. 14 But they made the statement that 15 they were going to get their water from Lake 16 Scranton and it wouldn't be a problem. Now, I 17 would like to see how they crunch their 18 numbers. What happens if there is a drought? 19 It's not going to impact Lake 20 Scranton? Lake Scranton is our supply of water 21 for this city. Has anybody really looked at 22 those numbers? And what is the cost to the 23 ratepayers when they have to upgrade the 24 infrastructure? Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up  16 1 is Mike Mancini. 2 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, 3 Scranton. As we gather here at the start of a 4 brand new year, we have the privilege and 5 responsibility of welcoming a newly formed City 6 Council. This moment isn't just a change in 7 leadership. It's a change to reflect, to 8 reimagine and rededicate ourselves to the kind 9 of community that we want to build and fix 10 together. 11 Every year brings a new sense of 12 renewal. It's a natural pause in the rhythms 13 of our lives, moment to look back on what we've 14 accomplished, to learn from what we could have 15 done better and to look forward with optimism 16 and purpose. 17 But for Scranton, the arrival of new 18 Council members makes that reflection even more 19 meaningful, bringing new perspectives, new 20 energy and new ideas. Together you represent 21 the diverse voices of our residents, people who 22 care deeply about their neighborhoods, their 23 safety, their infrastructure, their parks, and 24 their future. 25 The challenges ahead are real. We  17 1 know that balancing growth with sustainability 2 isn't easy. We understand that improving 3 public safety, helping our homeless population, 4 paying closer attention to our infrastructure 5 and strengthening our local economy will take 6 teamwork, patience, and courage. 7 But history tells us something 8 vital. The process is possible when leaders 9 listen, when citizens get involved and when we 10 build bridges instead of walls. This year let 11 us set a tone of collaboration. Let's make 12 City Hall a place where people come not just to 13 complain but to share solutions. 14 Let's commit to transparency, 15 fairness and innovation in everything that we 16 do from infrastructure projects to safety in 17 every neighborhood to the environmental 18 stewardship without data centers, opening the 19 doors to City Hall once again and opening for 20 business. 21 Let's remember the government works 22 best when it works with the community, not just 23 for it. And most of all, let's dream big for 24 Scranton because if there is one thing that 25 we've -- that the past has shown us is that  18 1 we're at our strongest when we dare to imagine 2 better services, better relationships, better 3 opportunities for every resident. 4 Let all of us understand that there 5 is much more to do in our city and the citizens 6 turn to each one of who we've elected and your 7 commitment to leave our city better than the 8 way we found it. We need the best of each of 9 you immediately. Our citizens deserve nothing 10 less. 11 To our new Council, congratulations 12 and thank you for stepping forward to serve. 13 To our residents, thank you for believing in 14 the power of participation and hope. Let's 15 make this year not just a new beginning but a 16 turning point, one marked with progress, unity, 17 and the shared belief that together we could 18 always do better. Good evening, Scranton. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up, 20 Bob Bolus. 21 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council, 22 Bob Bolus, Scranton. Nice to see some new 23 faces. But I hope one thing we're going to see 24 here is uniformity, nothing like what happened 25 with the commissioner meeting where one,  19 1 Commissioner Gaughan thought he was better than 2 everybody else instead of being equal to 3 everybody that sits here or sat over there. 4 I gave him two rolls of toilet 5 paper to put his diarrhea mouth in place. I 6 hope you do the job that we need done in the 7 city and you do it together. Thank you. 8 I'd like to bring up is we just had 9 my 32nd annual Bob Bolus Christmas Day Dinner. 10 It was a tremendous success. We had over 4,000 11 people through the door, delivered over 600 12 meals, two meals to a family. And everybody 13 got to take a takeout. 14 And I would like to thank a few 15 people, more importantly my volunteers. Les, I 16 actually saw him actually work for a living. 17 And those that came to the dinner to enjoy what 18 we had there, it was an all day buffet. You 19 take what you wanted. You stayed as long as 20 you wanted. And you were compelled to take a 21 takeout home. 22 Home Depot threw us some blowups 23 that a friend of mine up there donated. 24 Wegmans came to the plate for me. A good 25 friend of mine, a trucking buddy, Billy  20 1 Gilchrist that we've been friends for years and 2 years, I was shocked when I saw him and he 3 showed up. That made the dinner that he took 4 his time to come there and do what he did. 5 The issues that we have -- and it 6 was nice, Commissioner Tom Welby stood side by 7 side with me cutting up turkeys. And we never 8 questioned whether they were Republican or 9 Democrat turkeys. They're one in the same. 10 But that's uniformity. That's what 11 I like to see in our community is everybody 12 working together and giving of themselves. 13 You know, and what we just went through here we 14 saw a murder -- a shooting, justified. There's 15 our officer in the back room there. 16 He's trained to do one thing. And 17 that is to protect the citizens and protect 18 himself from aggressive people. This woman 19 tried to run over ICE. They were paid 20 protesters. It's unfortunate she got shot 21 because she was stupid and did what she did. 22 We hold a rally out here. No, but 23 we didn't hold a rally out here for our two 24 national guard service members that were 25 murdered. Just tells you where the hell this  21 1 country's going. It's going in the wrong 2 direction. 3 I've spent time in Iran. I'm 4 watching what they're doing there. I left 5 there last time the war started. And they are 6 just sick people. And they're running around 7 and they're being murdered because they want to 8 speak out. It's a lot different in this 9 country. 10 But we got to change the way we do 11 things here. And protesters, you stand in 12 front of an officer and threaten to run him 13 over, you deserve to be shot. No if, ands, or 14 buts, he has every right to protect himself and 15 the citizens. 16 I see that went on here -- most 17 important things is I see our hospitals, why 18 the hell didn't get we get our state and 19 federal representatives, City Council, the 20 Commissioners to make them employee owned. I 21 use that word employee owned instead of being 22 bought out by somebody. 23 Nobody knows what the hell they're 24 talking about, where it's going and give these 25 people the future they're entitled to because  22 1 they give us the healthcare. And I've just 2 been through the institutions in last couple 3 weeks. And the health care we get, the 4 dedication of these employees, these people, 5 these nurses and doctors give us is second to 6 none. 7 And we should stand behind them and 8 make it an employee owned facility, the two of 9 them and do something about it, put our mouth 10 where our money is. And that's in our people. 11 And last, Rob Bresnahan and I are 12 going to be going to Iwo Jima. If I just may a 13 quick second -- to finish the mission that I 14 started to bring Sergeant Genaust home to film 15 the flag raising on Mount Suribachi filming the 16 American flag. He and I have been in 17 discussions about going over and completing the 18 mission. Thank you. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up, 20 Lee Morgan. 21 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 22 Lee Morgan. The first thing I have here is, 23 you know, I appreciate the first speaker who 24 came to the podium and spoke about illegal 25 immigrants being removed from the country.  23 1 You know, we had a real tragedy in 2 our country because we had a president who 3 didn't know he was president. He was a victim 4 of elder abuse, Joe Biden. He didn't do his 5 job. And he let 20 to 25 million people cross 6 our border. 7 But, you know, the thing we seem to 8 forget all the time is all the Americans in our 9 country that have been murdered by illegal 10 people in our country and all the victims of 11 illegal immigrants in our country and no idea 12 who they are, who the got-aways were. 13 And, you know, we have to realize 14 that that's really not the way to do business, 15 okay. Immigrants come through the country 16 where they reside in their own country and they 17 go to their embassy and ask for permission to 18 immigrate here. 19 We have become a very silly group of 20 people. You know, and to highlight that I'd 21 like to say that, you know, people really need 22 to pay attention to this shooting where this 23 tragic woman got killed. You know, the 24 majority of -- allegedly the majority of the 25 people that are opposed to ICE are Caucasian  24 1 females. 2 But you have to pay attention 3 because I think that women believe in a 4 different world than the rest of us. And too 5 often they're not held accountable for the 6 things they do. It's built right into our 7 society. 8 And I just think that, you know, 9 when you listen to the tape, the women next to 10 her is telling her to drive. And the policeman 11 is telling her to stop. Now, a man would know 12 that if you challenge a policeman, you don't 13 have a right to your life. 14 That's one of the things I was 15 taught when I was a child by my father, okay, 16 that you have to be responsible. And there -- 17 and you have obligations and responsibilities 18 to live through. And I think that when you 19 listen to what female researchers are saying 20 about women in general, I just think that too 21 many of them think that the rules don't apply 22 to them. 23 So she really didn't see what she 24 was doing as being anything that really should 25 have been given any real thought. She didn't  25 1 realize that it could cost her her life. And 2 she didn't realize she was putting somebody 3 else's life in jeopardy. 4 And since the guy was already drug 5 down the street once before, he reacted 6 according to what he understood. But, you 7 know, the sad part is the Democrats, they 8 aren't trying to help our country. They're 9 trying to tear it apart. 10 Going back to that -- just over 11 the -- not just the immigration issue, all the 12 things they do, funding, non-profits to return 13 money to them in election years to campaign. I 14 mean, there is just a host that they went in 15 and looked at all the elections in 2020 and 16 found out there was hundreds of thousands of 17 illegal votes. 18 I don't think the Democrats 19 represent anything good. And I'll be honest 20 with you. Now, the last thing I have here is 21 I'm litigating with ECTV. So -- and I'm asking 22 this Council to talk to the Mayor and return 23 the public access component to the public 24 access channel instead of it just being 25 educational and government.  26 1 It needs to go back to being public. 2 Now, I think I'm going to have a hearing in 3 regards to this. So I'm going to have to do, 4 you know, call witnesses and do all kinds of 5 things. But this never should have been 6 necessary. 7 The Council should have protected 8 that channel and it should have stayed the way 9 it always was because when the Congress and 10 Senate created that, they didn't create it for 11 the government to use it. They created for the 12 citizens to use it to make their communities 13 better. 14 And if you pay attention to what 15 happened there, I was locked out of the channel 16 because they didn't appreciate that I was 17 talking about rewriting the Home Rule Charter, 18 which has to do with government and by bringing 19 Frank Scavo in and talking about the 20 insurrection allegedly in Washington and David 21 Bergerhoff who ran as a Republican candidate. 22 And if that's enough to lock you out 23 of a channel, then are we really in America? 24 And why are we so worried about what's going on 25 in Iran when we're trying to muzzle people in  27 1 our own country. So I hope you go and talk to 2 the Mayor. Thank you. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Next up, Lee Morgan. 4 I'm sorry, Les Spindler. 5 MR. SPINDLER: Les Spindler, city 6 resident. Yeah, we don't want him talking 7 twice. First, I want to welcome the new 8 members and just remember who put you up there. 9 It's the citizens of this city. You work for 10 us, the taxpayers. 11 Unlike your predecessors who worked 12 for the Mayor, they never once voted against 13 any legislation that she put down. So I hope 14 in the big votes you remember the citizens and 15 vote the right way, and best of luck. 16 Okay, my favorite subject potholes 17 and pave cuts. First, the one on Dorothy 18 Street that I spoke about probably close to a 19 year now across the street from the basketball 20 court keeps re -- keeps subsiding. And again, 21 there's a big dip there. 22 It's -- I think, Councilman 23 Schuster, you're aware of that one. It's 24 turning into a hole again. Three pave cuts on 25 the corner of Sterling Street and North Main  28 1 Avenue, it's just down from the fire station on 2 Main Avenue, three pave cuts. 3 It's -- you get bounced around if 4 you don't slow down like 10 miles an hour. 5 There's three in a row. Next thing, on North 6 Main Avenue again where Dunkin' Donuts is where 7 the turn is to go into the drive through lane, 8 huge pave cut there. It's got to be, like, I 9 don't know how many inches deep. 10 You have to go around it right by 11 Dunkin' Donuts. That's all I have right now. 12 I think that's enough. Next thing, don't know 13 if you're aware, but the railroad bridge on 14 Main Avenue was hit again today. I don't know 15 how many hits that's going to take before the 16 darn thing falls down because nobody can 17 convince me that the integrity of that bridge 18 isn't compromised every time it gets hit. 19 I go by there every day. I live 20 close to there. And I've said in the past 21 there's rusted holes in the steel beams. They 22 were there early in the fall fixing the 23 concrete wall. They should concentrate on the 24 beams of the bridge instead of the silly 25 concrete wall. That wall is not holding the  29 1 bridge up. 2 Okay, talking about ICE. I have to 3 disagree with Bob and Lee. I think it's -- 4 United States citizen was killed in cold blood, 5 I think. All he had to do was tell the -- they 6 said the lady was blocking the road. Just tell 7 her to move and she probably would have moved. 8 But the guy got aggressive and she 9 probably got scared and she drove away and he 10 killed her. So I hope he's prosecuted to the 11 highest extent of the law. And it's just -- 12 oh, and I -- the Homeland Security Director 13 said it was an act of domestic terrorism. 14 That's -- I'd like to know what her 15 qualifications are to be Homeland Security 16 Director because Trump is famous for hiring 17 unqualified people. And another example is the 18 attorney he hired to try to prosecute Cummo -- 19 not Cummo, Comey, James Comey, the judge threw 20 the case out because she screwed it up. 21 And the biggest example is RFK, Jr., 22 putting the guy in charge of the health 23 department. There's no education at all in the 24 health department. He doesn't know anything 25 about health. And he's telling us what to do  30 1 with our bodies. 2 So what we have to do this year is 3 vote all the Republicans out of the house of 4 representatives, which Trump is afraid of. It 5 was on the news last week that he told all of 6 his puppets in the house to vote -- or to -- 7 they better win or he's going to get impeached 8 he said. 9 He's afraid himself he's going to 10 get impeached. So that's what we have to do. 11 Put all the Democrats back in the house and 12 impeach him and get him out of here. That's 13 all I have tonight. Thank you for your time. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up, 15 Marie Schumacher. 16 MS. SCHUMACHER: Marie Schumacher, 17 citizen of the City of Scranton. I would like 18 to say that I hope you all had a nice Christmas 19 and will do your job here for us. D -- 5-D is, 20 wait a minute. I'm sorry. I don't know. I 21 will come back to that, I guess. 22 I was happy to see the agreement on 23 Scranton lake. But what is going to be now 24 Scranton lake is already providing water to 25 Montage for the skiing. And now it's going to  31 1 be given to the mountain. 2 And I think we need to have some 3 kind of an agreement on how that -- how that is 4 going to go if we should have the lake go down. 5 So I think we certainly need to see that. 6 And let's see on -- let's see. On 7 D, I know it's not much -- not much time, but 8 has there been a salary given out to members of 9 the city this month? I mean, is it a biweekly? 10 I don't know what people get. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: It's biweekly. 12 MS. SCHUMACHER: It's what? 13 MR. SCHUSTER: It's a biweekly pay. 14 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. So one 15 of the things that has happened that I thought 16 never would have happened while I was breathing 17 is the wall between -- down between the Radison 18 and the -- and the -- whatever that building is 19 there on Lackawanna and Cedar. 20 I think that's going to be 21 wonderful. But how much are we paying for 22 that? And how much is the -- I guess the 23 county? Is it 50/50? 24 MR. SCHUSTER: We can get that 25 answer for you.  32 1 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Thank you. 2 And on D -- D, does Mr. Cusick get the same 3 salary or -- 4 MR. SCHUSTER: I don't have a budget 5 in front of me. But I would imagine that he 6 does. 7 MS. SCHUMACHER: You imagine he 8 does. Okay, I guess the -- again, how -- what 9 is your idea of how the agreement on the 10 utilization of Scranton lake is? I mean, 11 Montage gets some. We get some. Is there 12 going to be an agreement that we could read of 13 how that -- 14 MR. SCHUSTER: With that one, we're 15 just hearing some of the starting points of 16 that. So we'd have to definitely get some more 17 information on where we're moving with that. 18 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Okay. Thank 19 you. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anybody 21 else like to address Council? 22 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 23 Virgil Argenta. Welcome and good luck to our 24 two new Councilmen and to you, Mr. Schuster, 25 as well.  33 1 I'd like to followup on some 2 questions I previously asked. Has there been 3 any investigation into the tax exempt status of 4 the nonprofits in Scranton? Can you confirm 5 whether the city has verified the legitimacy of 6 these exemptions for almost 1,600 parcels? 7 If any organizations were found to 8 be in violation or no longer qualify for 9 exemption, what's the plan to address these 10 issues and recover any loss revenue? We need 11 transparency in this matter to ensure fairness 12 for Scranton taxpayers that do pay taxes. 13 The Mayor stated that roughly 16,122 14 tax exempt parcels that account for nearly 37 15 percent or about 220 million of Scranton's 598 16 million total assessed property value, the 17 Mayor, Paige Cognetti was quoted as saying, 18 "Fundamentally, it's about fairness, whether 19 it's real estate taxes in this case or any type 20 of tax or fee. We want to do everything we can 21 to make sure we're assessing taxes and fees as 22 fairly as possible in the City of Scranton." 23 This was a June, 2025 story in the 24 Scranton Times written by Jeff Horvath. The 25 story was titled, The City will examine tax  34 1 exempt status of nonprofits and others. 2 The second one is ARPA. Regarding 3 the ARPA funds awarded by the City of Scranton, 4 are there any stipulations in the contract that 5 require recipients to remain in business, will 6 maintain certain operations for a specified 7 period of time before they go selling off 8 equipment, assets, or taking the funds and 9 running? 10 I also ask, if there are special 11 reporting requirements or deadline such as 12 December 31st, 2024, obligation deadline that 13 the city must have met. 14 And for your information, another 15 truck hit the bridge today was almost on the 16 side and there was also a fuel leak. Thank 17 you, Council. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 19 anyone else like to address Council? 20 MR. COYNE: Greetings, members of 21 Council, Tom Coyne, Minooka. First of all, I 22 would like to remind you that even though the 23 holiday season is ended, hunger never takes a 24 holiday. Like death and taxes, it's always out 25 there. And some people need help no matter  35 1 large donations or small donations. 2 Are you aware that the police 3 cameras in the City of Scranton both Axon and 4 the -- I forget the other company's name again 5 are being used by ICE to surveil, track, and 6 locate citizens, especially illegals or 7 potential illegals in our city? 8 They are using our police cameras as 9 methods of surveillance and tracking, just 10 wanted to know if you were aware of that. 11 Now, onto 5-D, the appointment of 12 Pat Cusick effective January 1st. Per Council 13 Rules Section 242, I believe this has to go to 14 the proper committee in return -- and then be 15 returned because it's also reflected in Section 16 16 of the Rules of Council that it has to go to 17 proper committee first before moving on. 18 He's been a manager who's been 19 acting and nonacting for a while. And I do not 20 disagree with his qualifications. But is he a 21 resident of the City of Scranton as this has 22 been purposely excluded and blacked out from 23 the documentation on the resume. 24 But we no longer require him to be a 25 person who lives in the City of Scranton, that  36 1 information should be publicly available, not 2 his address but whether he's a city resident. 3 My second issue is we have asked for 4 months and we now have again appointment with a 5 retroactive date. We have a hire date of 6 January 1st for an introduction on January 13th 7 and if the final approval goes through to 8 committee as it proceeds, it will be -- the 9 passage will be on January 27th. 10 It's supposed to be with the advice 11 and consent, not we hire them and then get 12 consent afterwards. They are hired when 13 consent is given. This is not how it's 14 supposed to work. The Mayor is not supposed to 15 default hire people and then Council blesses 16 her hiring. 17 The start date should be when 18 Council signs, approves it and the Mayor hits 19 the final bill. Rules, without them, we live 20 with the animals. Speaking of rules, I 21 presented in writing as it states in Council's 22 rules, Article 6 and Section 3 refers to 23 calling in. 24 Extraordinary circumstances and that 25 is without definition. What is extraordinary  37 1 circumstances? At the top header it says 2 illness, travel, scheduling conflicts, weather 3 and other emergency situations. Most of them 4 are not extraordinary. Most of them are 5 extraordinary. 6 Travel and scheduling and other 7 conflicts are a choice. It's not an emergency. 8 If you schedule something else that conflicts 9 with it, you choose to not participate. Now, 10 if you are sick, you should have to stay in bed 11 and recover. 12 One of five people is not critical. 13 And if you are too ill to come to the office, 14 then you're too ill to phone in and just take 15 the day off. Last, if weather -- if whether is 16 too bad, the President could and can call off 17 the meeting. 18 They decided not to do that because 19 it's not that difficult and people could make 20 it in as such, then you could make a choice as 21 a Council member to come in yourself as well. 22 It's not an extraordinary situation. It's a 23 choice not to participate in Council. 24 And if you choose not to, then you 25 shouldn't be able to phone it in because we  38 1 have a right to confront our representatives, 2 not talk to an empty seat with a microphone 3 with a phone hidden underneath it. That's not 4 confrontation. 5 And last, rule three it seems we 6 have another statement that members of Council 7 shall be able to attend -- shall be able to 8 attend followed by the body requiring that a 9 member should inform City Council Clerk 48 10 hours prior. 11 Why is it shall for everything else, 12 but when comes to informing Council, it 13 suddenly gets changed to should? Maybe they 14 shall inform Council that they're not going to 15 be here. And as recording, media is often 16 allowed to decide positions at the side of the 17 Council. 18 Per the recent change on Rule 21, it 19 says it could only be done behind the Council 20 dais. I'm not sure if behind is back behind 21 the Council or if it's where ECTV is. It's not 22 clear. I would like to know what exactly 23 behind City Council means. Thank you. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 25 else like to address City Council?  39 1 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council. We got 2 new leadership now. I'm Rik Little, 11 score 3 and 11 years ago, our nation, our forefathers 4 brought forth a great nation conceived in 5 liberty with equal justice, for everybody, for 6 mankind. 7 People play with words a lot. We're 8 in a war with AI more than anything. The 9 definition of words should, shall, reasonable, 10 you know, somebody says reasonable and if 11 they're -- it's all too vacillating. 12 But it's pretty clear in the US 13 Constitution that what's going on now affects 14 the entire world. And I look at the media and 15 the political thing, Republicans and Democrats 16 liberals and conservatives. 17 There's a problem in the governance. 18 I've said this before, you know, the Home Rule 19 Charter, you know, made up -- made legal in 20 1856 is supposed to make it more convenient for 21 government to work. And they have extrapolated 22 that into the whole judicial branch where we 23 have partisan judges, partisan magistrates, 24 partisan district attorneys. 25 And the future of our city which is  40 1 a biggest concern with me is I want to point 2 out that that so many agencies have acquiesced 3 to the county who has acquiesced to the state 4 and -- and most of all, everybody is acquiesced 5 to the judiciary which is the biggest -- no one 6 knows what's going on. 7 And, you know, it's like you're not 8 supposed to run for government unless you're -- 9 you know, you've first gone through the school 10 board. And I'm looking at that. And that has 11 to do with unions and, you know, Governor 12 Shapiro, you know, he said when he was running, 13 you know, that he would have charter schools 14 and then he cut it out. 15 But this is the voting base. And 16 what's going on in Minnesota where federal 17 funds have come in, Health and Human Services 18 funds, you know, which is everybody around here 19 is talking about Medicare and Medicaid. But 20 they are talking about that. 21 And, you know, it's easily pointed 22 out that they have exploited all of this. And 23 now this woman is shot. And the media is 24 ramping up the whole thing. And in 25 Pennsylvania it's like, you know, making it a  41 1 partisan thing. 2 In Scranton, I see water is the most 3 important thing if you are going to survive. 4 And this whole thing with Lake Scranton and the 5 data centers, this is crazy. It even said in 6 the paper, you know, it's going to double the 7 water prices. 8 And, you know, they have different 9 words, you know, like, different words for 10 sewage and everything. Anyway, Scranton has to 11 focus on Scranton and that includes HUD, 12 Scranton Housing Authority, Health and Human 13 Services, which is the schools feeding kids and 14 stuff. Keep it local. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Fifth 16 Order. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 18 MOTIONS. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 20 have any motions or comments? 21 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, 22 I'll just start off with the unsheltered task 23 force has scheduled a meeting that is going to 24 take place February 2nd. However, we have been 25 doing the last few virtually. And they'll  42 1 continue to be virtual via Microsoft Teams and 2 invite only from what I've aware of. 3 Also, it's going to be a pretty cold 4 week. So you'll see like our code blue 5 shelters open at least over the next week. 6 Temperatures will really be dropping during the 7 evenings with a low windchill factor. So I was 8 made aware of that likely the code blues will 9 be open throughout the week. 10 And I wanted to thank the DPW for 11 the work that they have been doing finally over 12 at Colfax and Olive on the curb cut that we 13 have been asking for, especially Doris Koloski. 14 I know she's not here tonight. But she's the 15 one that first brought it to our attention 16 probably two years ago. 17 And so I'm glad to see that they 18 have been working on that so that there could 19 be a curb cut there for those who need it. And 20 one of the streets over on Pine Street, I 21 believe the 700 block near Regional Hospital, 22 several of those blocks as well as East Gibson 23 Street were repaved after a lot of damage from 24 the storm. 25 And they did an absolute wonderful  43 1 job on the paving of them. And I was really 2 sad to see that on that block that the street 3 was opened up again. And now there's a large 4 metal top put over it. So I wanted to ask more 5 about what utility company is doing that work 6 and what the plans are for -- for that block 7 and why it had to be opened up again, Mr. 8 Voldenberg, if you wouldn't mind inquiring 9 about that for me. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr. 11 Rothchild. 12 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'd appreciate it. 13 I received an e-mail from someone asking about 14 the Green Ridge Street Bridge Project. And I 15 know others have brought it up here in the past 16 and the traffic congestion being an issue for 17 Green Ridge Street. And the person was asking 18 about if the left arrow could be restored and 19 if that would help with the traffic flow. 20 So I'll forward that message to you, 21 Mr. Voldenberg, if we could find out if there 22 are any other traffic solutions for that street 23 while they're still working on the project. I 24 know I've gotten stuck in it myself too so -- 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr.  44 1 Rothchild. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 3 Oh, and there was another pave concern that we 4 had brought up over the fall time that was also 5 on East Gibson Street over at the intersection 6 of East Gibson and North Webster where there 7 was -- the crosswalk that had been recently 8 painted was disturbed with the pave cut and 9 work that the water company was doing there. 10 And the -- I don't think that it was 11 filled properly because there's quite the dip 12 at that pave cut. And so it took a while, but 13 they finally went back to try to correct it. 14 But I think they made it worse. And they made 15 it even larger and extending out into the 16 intersection. 17 And I realize that with the colder 18 temps they can't get necessarily the same 19 materials to completely fix it. But it's still 20 I don't think in ideal shape for people to be 21 driving on that for months until the weather 22 becomes warmer and they could do more of a full 23 restoration. So if we could be in contact with 24 American Water with regards to that pave cut. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out in  45 1 the morning. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Great. Thank 3 you. One last thing I want to mention Renee 4 Good, the woman who was murdered by the ICE 5 agent last week in Minnesota has been on my 6 mind a lot, her and her family, and that whole 7 situation. 8 And it's, you know, really -- really 9 sadden me. And, you know, I think because -- I 10 think about what if something like that was to 11 happen in our community. And so I find it 12 really incredulous that people could stand up 13 here tonight and have no compassion, nor 14 empathy for this woman and feel that it was 15 justified even if she was to be protesting ICE. 16 So I think when things like this 17 occur, it's not just meant to instill fear in 18 undocumented -- excuse me, if I could please 19 have my time. You had your time during 20 citizens participation. You could leave. I am 21 worried about our community, yes. 22 And so like I said, you know, if 23 something was that -- to happen in our 24 community, it would be really devastating. And 25 actions like this are not only meant to instill  46 1 fear in undocumented immigrants. But in those 2 who are documented or fighting for their 3 citizenship or have become citizens and now 4 even for people who want to protest ICE which 5 is our given right in this country to be able 6 to protest. 7 So I hope people don't allow that to 8 put them in a place of fear. But I know there 9 are a lot of people who are afraid as Mr. 10 McHale spoke tonight and gave us some insight 11 to some of our local community members who are 12 really afraid of ICE and what's happening and 13 things that are even occurring in our city. 14 So I do appreciate him mentioning 15 that. And I did want to ask, Mr. Voldenberg, 16 if we could please reach out to Chief Carroll. 17 I would like to confirm with one of the other 18 speakers brought up regarding if ICE is 19 utilizing our cameras and our technology in the 20 city to find people. 21 And then I'd like some further 22 information on what the city's relationship 23 is -- working relationship is with ICE at this 24 present time. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr.  47 1 Rothchild. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. That's 3 all that I have. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Sean 5 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 7 few. First, over the past week I reviewed the 8 purchase agreement for the Fidelity building. 9 And, you know, looking at it and reviewing it, 10 much like a home buyer purchasing a property, 11 this transaction is far from complete. 12 The agreement provides for a 45-day 13 inspection and due diligence period. That must 14 occur before the closing. That started on the 15 30th when they signed it. The city has stated 16 that the building was inspected already by the 17 City Engineer and reviewed by a third party 18 building and safety inspector. 19 That is part of the answers we 20 received earlier in the year. While that is 21 helpful, those inspections are not the same as 22 a transactional property inspection. Their 23 focus is identifying code violations, not 24 uncovering material defects or evaluating the 25 overall condition and long-term risk associated  48 1 with any property. 2 That agreement clearly states the 3 buyer has 45 days from the execution of the 4 contract to complete all inspections. I also 5 found it pretty interesting that they are not 6 even looking to close until June. 7 So I don't know why it was rushed 8 down at the end of the year. Therefore, I 9 would like to make a motion requiring the 10 completion of a comprehensive due diligence, 11 including but not limited to engineering, 12 environmental and financial inspections prior 13 to any closing of the Fidelity building. 14 Additionally, I move all findings be 15 formally presented to City Council and receive 16 affirmative Council approval before the 17 authorization is granted to proceed with the 18 sale. 19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Second. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Motion on the floor 21 and a second. Anyone on the question? Roll 22 call. 23 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild. 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 25 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Sean McAndrew.  49 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. 2 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Mark McAndrew. 3 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yes. 4 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Flynn. 5 MR. FLYNN: Yes. 6 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. Motion carries. 8 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. Next, so 9 the -- in the -- some of the answers we 10 received, it said the city has also stated that 11 the current proposal, one of the projects is 12 the development installation of the Scranton 13 Police Department's Real Time Crime Center. 14 They said this project is described 15 as being funded through a $500,000 local shared 16 account grant to outfit the center with the 17 grant application including security measures 18 designed to mirror those at the current SPD 19 headquarters and assure CJIS compliance of the 20 space. 21 My question is, Mr. Voldenberg, if 22 you could send this down, is that money that is 23 already approved or is that an application 24 they put in that they're hoping to get approved 25 because that -- because if it's not approved  50 1 yet, I would like to ask my colleagues if we 2 would like to -- or be interested in sending a 3 formal letter to Senator Flynn and the state 4 representatives requesting a written update on 5 the status of that approval, the timing of it, 6 the conditions of all grant funding associated 7 with this project. 8 I had a brief conversation with 9 Senator Flynn. He wasn't even in favor of us 10 purchasing the building, didn't think we needed 11 it. So I'm not sure if that, you know, this 12 grant that they are possibly applying to if 13 we're even going to get support from our 14 Senator or local representatives. So any of my 15 colleagues agree with sending that letter if 16 that is the case? 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Gilbride, when it 18 comes to this letter, do yo think we can just 19 agree on it or should we put that in the form 20 of a motion? 21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: No, I mean, you 22 could just agree. It's just a letter. You're 23 not asking for any formal action. 24 MR. FLYNN: Are we waiting to hear 25 back on if it was approved or if it's still in  51 1 application? 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I think 3 the clarification first would be is this money 4 that was already approved in a prior 5 application that's sitting in the funds or is 6 this is a new application that's going and 7 that's going to need approval. It wasn't 8 really clear on my end. I want to clear it up 9 first. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: And if that's the 11 case, can we have a deadline that would be 12 awarded. 13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah. 14 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Even if there 15 was an application or an approval, that would 16 have came to us already in some form. I didn't 17 see either -- I know we were on recess. I'm in 18 favor of both. I agree to both. Find out and 19 then send the letter. I'm okay. 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I think 21 it's a quick answer they could give us and 22 then -- hopefully by tomorrow. And then if 23 that's the case if it's not approved and then 24 they just submitted it, then we could send that 25 letter to try to see if we're going to get  52 1 support for it or see where it's at in the 2 status and kind of get a clear cut because 3 that's a lot of money that's part of plan to 4 purchase this building so -- 5 MR. SCHUSTER: So if we could wait 6 back for an answer on that -- 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll ask 8 that question tomorrow. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: And then we could 10 move forward once we have that information. 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. Thank 12 you. So I have two questions from residents. 13 First one, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could send 14 this down, there was a grant awarded for the 15 work at the Clover Field Project. Can you ask 16 an update on the status of that project? 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 18 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And another one 19 is the list of pave cut permits that were 20 completed from 2019 to 2025. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 22 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And then my 23 final request I'm just looking for information. 24 I would like to get an updated list of the 25 accounting -- from the accounting department or  53 1 the Business Administrator's office on the ARPA 2 funds. 3 I would like it to include for each 4 award to include the business name, the total 5 amount, the place of the performance, the 6 overall status of award if they were, you know, 7 cancelled or if they were given it after it was 8 already selected, the sub award number and the 9 date of the original agreement. 10 I know there was some information 11 that I think was online but I want to make sure 12 we have the current and most updated 13 information. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get the 15 latest. 16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And 17 that's all I have. Thank you very much. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Mr. Mark 19 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 20 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I have a couple 21 things. So first of all, with the recent, you 22 know, which is horrible to the two recent 23 abduction attempts, one being a 14 year old 24 that has a history of stealing cars which is 25 absurd, back in October of 2024, Social  54 1 Contract, LLC, a consulting firm partnered with 2 the City of Scranton and Lackawanna County, all 3 right, to develop a community violence 4 intervention strategy. 5 It was funded by the American Rescue 6 Plan Act, ARPA aiming to reduce youth and gang 7 violence through evidenced based programs, 8 community engagement and support services 9 involving stakeholders like the Scranton School 10 District. 11 So I haven't heard hide nor hair 12 from these people. We've never got an update. 13 You know, and there's greater detail here. 14 The purpose is to design and implement a 15 comprehension community violence intervention. 16 So I don't know if they've done 17 anything. You know, subject matter experts 18 like them should hit the ground running and not 19 go through a data collection phase that all of 20 a sudden needs a contract extension to present 21 their data and recommendations. 22 We've seen that here before. It 23 happens all the time. And their contract is 24 up. It's going to be up in September, which 25 September gets here quick. All right. So can  55 1 you reach out to Lackawanna County because 2 we're in conjunction with them with this 3 contract to see if, you know, they provided any 4 updates to them or have they been in 5 communication with any of the schools because, 6 you know, we have a history here in this 7 building that hires expert, per se, consultants 8 and has case studies that really don't produce 9 but cost the taxpayers a fortune, Nossaman, 10 LLC, being one of them, Muflehan being another 11 and Rubicon. 12 These are examples. And these -- 13 these -- these contracts are extended. They 14 seem to stick around and nothing really gets 15 accomplished. They go through this data 16 collection phase. And we'll report out and we 17 need another year. We need an extension to 18 show you how to implement it. 19 These are experts that, you know, 20 that should hit -- like I said, hit the ground 21 running, do their job. This was an ARPA funded 22 joint venture with Lackawanna County. I didn't 23 see it anywhere being -- if there's any money 24 put aside to actually renew them in September 25 if that's the case.  56 1 So, you know, with the blessing of 2 the President, first reach out to Lackawanna 3 County and see if there is any data that was 4 presented or any presentation to them. If not, 5 let's have a caucus with your blessing because 6 I think it was like 150 grand we shared. So 7 that's -- that's bothering me. So I think we 8 need to bring them in. 9 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Mr. McAndrew, I 10 just want add I know you were at the school 11 district. I don't recall -- but I just got off 12 the school board -- I don't recall ever hearing 13 them come in, similar the Muflehan report, 14 there's a whole section of the school district 15 and facts and stuff about it. 16 They've never contacted the 17 district. Where they get their information 18 from, I have no idea. But nobody in the 19 district was ever contacted. So just know on 20 the school end, I don't believe they were ever 21 contacted for these proposal either. 22 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right. 23 Well, we need to bring it to the table. Also, 24 with regards to ARPA allocations and criteria, 25 early on during the allocation process with  57 1 ARPA funds, we had some meetings obviously. 2 And I pointblank asked Mrs. Cipriani 3 is there any criteria, is there any 4 stipulations with regards to the disbursement 5 of this money and do you have to stay in the 6 city? Do you have to have so many employees? 7 Do you have to have -- just basic criteria that 8 grants require when you apply for them. 9 And she said no. So -- but things 10 change, right? I don't know. I believed her 11 at the time. And I'm sure that was -- that was 12 the case. But I remember also with regards to 13 the ARPA funds, there were final rules. There 14 was the first final rule where and how it could 15 be utilized and allocated for. 16 And then there was a change as to, 17 no, this is the final rule of 24, where this is 18 the final, final rule where this money can only 19 be allocated and used for A, B, and C. So -- 20 but to have no criteria or no stipulations with 21 regards to the use of the money, you know, 22 whether in a municipality you got to stay there 23 for a year. You got to stay there for two 24 years. 25 You got to hire so many employees.  58 1 I'm going to -- I don't want to throw this at 2 you, but I want to put you to task, Solicitor 3 Gilbride. Can you please look at the federal 4 level to see if there was any criteria or 5 anything that maybe our administration missed 6 or we missed or Anser who was the company that 7 handled some of that ARPA responsibilities, 8 can -- for clarification's sake if you could 9 please maybe do a little of research and reach 10 out, okay? 11 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes. 12 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I'm sorry, I 13 can't see you there. All right. Well, thank 14 you. Pave cuts, potholes again, Jackson Street 15 in proximity to All Saints Academy and St. 16 Pat's Church, the potholes there are like the 17 wild west. It's just ridiculous. I don't know 18 if it's because of the quick change in 19 temperatures we've had or the weather we had. 20 But they need to be alerted, DPW 21 and/or administration to take care of them. 22 They're horrendous. And then there is another 23 one on the corner of Main Street and Luzerne 24 Street if you are turning down towards the 25 flats, as they say, over there towards  59 1 Bellview, there's a huge pothole on the corner. 2 I swear to God I could see brick. I 3 hit it a couple of times recently. Even though 4 it's there because where it's located is the 5 center lane comes up and you're making the 6 right, you really can't swerve around it 7 because of oncoming traffic. 8 So and, like I said, I saw brick. 9 So that's how deep this pothole is if they 10 could be alerted. There was a bad pave cut on 11 St. Ann Street near Maroni's. But guess what, 12 I double-checked today and it was taken care 13 of. It was almost the width of the street 14 which was ridiculous. You couldn't avoid that 15 either. 16 The HUP test update. I think we 17 asked for that right before break. I think you 18 did, Mr. Schuster. But guess what, I only 19 remember a briefing. I remember this being 20 brought up once before. And we were briefed I 21 believe during some of the budget work 22 sessions. 23 Oh, yeah, we kind of got -- you 24 know, we're doing okay. We didn't get a lot. 25 We didn't get a -- I want a list. I want to  60 1 know who is still officially a nonprofit that 2 doesn't have to pay taxes. I want to know if 3 we actually found one, two, five, ten that 4 actually don't qualify as a nonprofit based on, 5 you know, the changes that have happened 6 throughout the, you know, past decade or two 7 with regards to, you know, meeting that 8 criteria. 9 So this test should be over with and 10 finalized. We never got a clear report. So I 11 would request that from administration. And, 12 you know what, people come and ask every one or 13 two -- every one or two months ask for an 14 update. 15 And it's sad that we can't actually 16 respond to them and say, you know what, we made 17 some headway, guys, you know, some nonprofits 18 out there that really, you know, because it is 19 37 close to 40 percent of the city. 20 So we need, you know, and I know we 21 work in conjunction with the county and there 22 was some, you know, there was some speed bumps 23 or -- but let's please take care of that. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 25 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Get an update.  61 1 Thank you very much. So let's talk about 2 Euclid and Main Avenue, the bridge. Right, 3 I've been talking about it for six years here, 4 the bridge. Trucks get stuck under that 5 bridge. Trucks getting stuck under every 6 bridge in the area. 7 And every time this happens I bring 8 it up again and say, hey, we got to do better 9 because what we're doing isn't working. It's 10 obvious. I remember saying, hey, how about 11 signage way before you get to Main Avenue 12 coming up Lackawanna Avenue. 13 And there's signs there but not 14 right when you get there because it's too late 15 to turn right -- I mean, to turn left because 16 you're in the lane. And GPS is going send you 17 to Keyser but you can't get there from there. 18 But that's what GPS does. So they 19 end up going down and they get stuck under the 20 bridge. But I said more than once on occasion 21 here that residents always come through for us. 22 Sometimes they have the best ideas and the best 23 answers for the problems that they incur and we 24 incur. 25 So not too long ago a resident sent  62 1 me a picture of -- it's called a curtain, 2 right, so it's in the city of San Antonio, 3 right, Texas they had the same problems we did. 4 Okay, bridges were like, you know, 11'3. They 5 were built before there was tractor-trailers, 6 18 wheelers. 7 They were built before a lot of 8 things. So they had -- what they did, they 9 threw more signs at it like we do, didn't work. 10 They kept throwing more signs at it like we do. 11 And every time I send inquiry to 12 administration, they say, oh, well, you know, 13 we're going to talk to PennDOT about it and 14 we're talking with the City Engineer. We're 15 talking. We're talking. But we're not getting 16 any answers. 17 So when this gentleman sent me the 18 picture, I have actually copied and looked at 19 the picture and Googled it. And it took me to 20 the city of San Antonio. Right, so, what this 21 is is -- and I don't know how to explain it. 22 But it's called a curtain. But it's not 23 actually a curtain. 24 Say if their bridge is 11'3, right, 25 there's a pole that goes up and over and then  63 1 dangling from this pole instead of a curtain 2 are plastic cylinders well before the signage 3 where they had it. I think they placed this in 4 two parts of their city where they had the same 5 problems with bridges. 6 And what happens is, so what they 7 said was they put up signs. We put up more 8 signs. And we put up more signs with flashing 9 lights and that was a recommendation recently, 10 but nothing worked. So since they put up this 11 apparatus or whatever you want to call it, when 12 a truck comes down that road way before the 13 bridge and they go under this dangling curtain, 14 it makes noise. 15 It really alerts the truck drivers 16 like, boom, boom, boom. Because obviously, you 17 know, visually they're not seeing cues and the 18 signs out there. But if you hit something and 19 hear it -- and it doesn't damage the truck. It 20 makes enough noise to alert the driver. 21 And there's a sign right above it 22 saying this is 11 feet 3 inches. And that's 23 what the bridge you're coming up to is. So 24 since they installed these two things, they 25 never had a problem again with the bridge. So  64 1 it looks like they solved it for us. They came 2 up with a better mousetrap than we can. 3 So what I would like to do is -- 4 I'll give this to you, make a copy, send it to 5 administration and say here's an idea that 6 worked somewhere else. We don't have to 7 reinvent the wheel but we have to -- what we're 8 doing now isn't working. All right. What else 9 do I have? And that's it. That's all I have. 10 Thank you. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you, Mr. 12 McAndrew. Something just to add to Mr. 13 McAndrew is I believe in this they paired with 14 the railroad to pick up some of the cost. 15 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I guess they 16 shared the cost. It was like 24 grand which is 17 nothing compared to the amount of damage that 18 is being done. And guess what, the one today 19 looked horrible. It was tipped and they're 20 leaking fuel. 21 Someone is going to get hurt. That 22 could have been a massive fire with that truck 23 and cars in front and behind that incident. 24 But, yeah, it was like $24,000. The railroad 25 and the city shared the cost. But, you know,  65 1 if these road -- if this is placed on a road 2 that's a PennDOT road, maybe we share the cost 3 three ways, but please, yeah. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. If we 5 could, when that information goes over if we 6 could just ask the administration if they have 7 a decent relationship with the railroad if they 8 could reach out to see if there is a way to, 9 you know, split the cost or work in unison on 10 something like this. 11 I know we've had meetings with the 12 railroad in the past that I've been on. So I 13 know we have contacts there. So if they could 14 just speak with the railroad and see if there's 15 a solution. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that, sir. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 18 Mr. Flynn, do you have any motions or comments? 19 MR. FLYNN: Yes, I have a few. 20 Thank you. First, I want to talk about the 21 rate and increase we got from S and P today. 22 It's a big deal for the city going to that A 23 minus rating from the BBB plus. It takes us 24 from a positive outlook to a stable outlook. 25 So I'm excited for that for the  66 1 future of our city as we take over on City 2 Council and the new Council sits here. I also 3 think that we as a Council has to do our part 4 to make sure that outlook stays that way and to 5 be watchdogs with the administration, work with 6 the administration to make sure that we stay on 7 this path of stability as we all know for so 8 many years the distressed status of City of 9 Scranton. 10 And where we are today is exciting, 11 but it's something that also I want to be 12 cautious about keeping on that trajectory. So 13 exciting news for the city today. But also 14 excited for us as a city and a City Council to 15 make sure that we stay on that path. 16 A few things for you, Mr. 17 Voldenberg. Can I get a full list of the pave 18 list for 2026 for the streets that are on that 19 list? 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 21 MR. FLYNN: And one other thing, you 22 know, I was watching old Council meetings and 23 the one thing I came upon and I was talking to 24 some individuals was the potential that we had 25 last year to go into this zero dollar contract  67 1 with PA Ambulance who was our ambulance 2 provider here in the City of Scranton. 3 That never got across the finish 4 line, but unnerves me a bit that we as a city 5 do not have a contract with any ambulance 6 provided whether something could happen to a 7 family member of any of ours any day, the 8 opioid crisis that's ravaging our 9 neighborhoods, all the things that are 10 happening in our city and we do not have a 11 contract. 12 So at any point in time, PA 13 Ambulance can say we're done servicing the City 14 of Scranton. There's nothing that we could do 15 about that. They could miss ten calls tonight 16 and there is nothing we could really do to be 17 able to hold them accountable for that in a 18 city like this. 19 I know in other municipalities 20 surrounding the City of Scranton, they have 21 these zero dollar contracts which is, you know, 22 I believe I would assume on their end is just a 23 way for us to say, like, you're our provider as 24 well. And we're going with you and staying 25 with you, almost a good faith agreement.  68 1 But can we look into where that -- 2 where that ended at last year and see -- talk 3 to the administration about that. I think 4 that's something that is important for all 5 residents of the city. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. Flynn. 7 MR. FLYNN: And that's all I have 8 for tonight. Thank you. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 10 So I do have a few. With Mr. McAndrew's point 11 about the social contract, can we see who the 12 point person is for the city that works with 13 social contracts and see if it is possible for 14 us to get a caucus with them and an update 15 about the work that's been done and where we're 16 moving forward? 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 19 In conjunction with Mr. Sean McAndrew's 20 question, he asked for a list of businesses 21 that received ARPA grants. Is it possible to 22 add to that can we get also a list of 23 businesses and entities that were awarded money 24 but did not receive that money? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.  69 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 2 And with that being said, was any of that money 3 that wasn't used by those businesses or 4 entities, was it reallocated or was there any 5 clawbacks that occurred there? 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask that also. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 8 I do have some questions. Last week there was 9 a couple salt purchases that occurred. They 10 were listed in Third Order last week. I did 11 get some clarification about why three 12 different purchases. 13 And the administration stated that 14 three salt-related transfers reflect the 15 increase in salt requirements for 2025 and 16 they're intended to cover the cost of 17 additional salt that was ordered due to 18 multiple winter storms. 19 There was also a new salt purchase 20 that was on our agenda today in the budget 21 transfers and if we can just get clarification 22 on that as well. I also asked about the 23 capacity of our salt at the new salt shed. And 24 it was stated that the capacity of the new salt 25 shed is 1,300 tons.  70 1 I did ask if there was a opportunity 2 for a second salt shed which was included in 3 the 2026 capital budget. And the answer I got 4 back was that the secondary salt shed is 5 included in the capital budget and this project 6 is pending due to grant applications for 7 funding. 8 Moving onto the next topic, I did 9 ask at our first meeting if we could get the 10 financial outlook from PFM. I asked about the 11 wrong entity. It isn't PFM that does this 12 financial outlook. It's Pell. We did speak 13 with the administration yesterday. And Pell is 14 providing that five year outlook. It's being 15 completed right now. 16 Matt Domines is going to get it. 17 And when that outlook is completed, they're 18 going to give a copy to Council. And we should 19 have them in for a caucus to hear about that 20 and get updates on our five year financials. 21 Positive news, it's been mentioned 22 by several Council members here and members of 23 the public our S and P upgrade from moving from 24 BBB -- BBB plus to A minus is a great 25 improvement coming out of Act 47.  71 1 It is a really big deal for the 2 city. So it's something to celebrate. Mr. 3 McAndrew brought up some of the potholes, some 4 of the pave cuts. It was mentioned in public 5 comment tonight as well. I do know that these 6 are on the administration's radar, one being 7 Forest Glen. 8 It was very similar to the one on 9 St. Ann Street. So we did speak to the 10 administration yesterday. We let them know 11 about Forest Glen about getting an update on 12 the Jackson Street are and also the pothole on 13 St. Ann Street. So I'm glad to hear that that 14 was taken care of. It was down the hill from 15 Maroni's. 16 It was narrow, but it did almost 17 span the entirety of the road. So with that 18 being said also asking if we're going to take 19 an aggressive stance on potholes this year. It 20 does seem to be that we do have more than usual 21 and what the city's plan is for that. 22 All right, Mr. Voldenberg, I'm going 23 to keep going. Sorry. There was a couple 24 streetlight requests that were made. We did 25 one in I believe in October, November. West  72 1 Side Little League had cleared off the hill 2 at -- between Novembrino and what we used to 3 call the Oxy down at Battaglia field. 4 They were requesting a light there 5 for the staircase for nighttime. If we could 6 check on where we are in that process if it's 7 been approved, if it's been denied, if it's 8 just pending. 9 There was also a streetlight request 10 for Putnam and Wayne. I believe it was the 300 11 block of Putnam Street. And then there was 12 also a streetlight request for St. Francis 13 Cabrini Avenue. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up on 15 all three. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I did 17 have on my list tonight the HUP test update. 18 So I'm to glad to hear that Mr. McAndrew also 19 requested it. So I do believe a copy of this 20 was sent to the school district. So I do 21 believe the school district got some of that 22 information. 23 So if we could see what information 24 the school district got, how far we are along 25 with that process, when will it be completed.  73 1 And if it's completed, if we can get a copy of 2 that. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 4 it. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I did see 6 that fireman Vito Scocozzo is retiring right 7 now, so congratulations to him for his work and 8 service to the city. And on our reorganization 9 day, I forgot to give two thank yous. It was 10 to my in-laws, Ann and Ace Levandowski. They 11 were here. 12 They supported me for many years. 13 And I forgot to thank them that day. So I 14 would like to thank them right now. And that 15 is all. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C.
