SCHUSTER: Please remain 4 standing for a moment of silence for our 5 service men and women throughout the world and 6 for those who have passed away in our 7 community. Thank you. Roll call, please. 8 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Here. 10 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew. 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Present. 12 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Mark McAndrew. 13 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Present. 14 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Flynn. 15 MR. FLYNN: Here. 16 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Present. Please 18 Dispense with the reading of the minutes. 19 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER. 20 3-A. CORRESPONDENCE DATED FEBRUARY 21 6, 2026, FROM CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, 22 REGARDING SCRANTON FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET 23 TRANSFER. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Are there any 25 comments on any of the Third Order items? If  4 1 not, received and filed. Do any Council 2 members have any announcements at this time? 3 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I just 4 have one quick one. Today myself and 5 Councilman Flynn, we stopped over -- there was 6 a DPW worker who got hurt. We stopped over to 7 see him. I just want to keep him in our 8 thoughts and prayer for a speedy recovery. 9 And one thing he did say was the 10 officer who showed up at the scene really did a 11 lot to help save -- pretty much save his life. 12 So maybe that's something we could do to look 13 into recognizing the great officer who helped 14 out in that situation, but keeping his family 15 and him in our thoughts and our prayers for a 16 speedy recovery. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That's 18 good to hear that. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: I just wanted to add 20 as occurred annually for a while, the 21 Valentine's Day weekend food drive that's 22 usually held at Nay Aug Park that's sponsored 23 by the Hill Neighborhood Association. 24 That's going to be taking place this 25 weekend, Saturday and Sunday between the hours  5 1 of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. You could drop off 2 donations and supplies, nonperishable food 3 items or if you want to write out a check I'm 4 sure they'll accept that too. But it's to 5 replenish the food supply from the donation 6 center. So that's all that I have. Thank you. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other 8 announcements? 9 MR. FLYNN: I have one just, you 10 know, as Councilman McAndrew said we went over 11 to see the DPW worker that was injured 12 yesterday morning in the hospital. I was told 13 that the officer who put tourniquet on his leg 14 and essentially saved his life is Officer Joe 15 Flesher. 16 So I want to take a moment to 17 acknowledge him and thank him for all he did 18 for our DPW worker to save his life. And I 19 agree with Councilman McAndrew if Council could 20 do something, some sort of accommodation or 21 something for Officer Flesher for what he did 22 for our DPW worker yesterday. We humbly thank 23 him and we look forward to honoring him more. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, thank you very 25 much for stating that. I didn't realize it was  6 1 Officer Flesher. He's been -- he's taken part 2 in several life saving events over the last two 3 to three years. And it's -- thank him for 4 that. 5 I'm happy the DPW worker is doing 6 all right at this point in time. Over the 7 weekend an article came out about the -- about 8 our tax bills that are going to be coming out 9 in February. And the Times-Tribune had made a 10 mistake in stating that our refuse fee was 11 going up to $600. 12 We did get a lot of phone calls. We 13 did get some e-mails. But just an announcement 14 that everybody knows our refuse fee has not 15 increased. It's not $600. It remains where it 16 is at. Another announcement, the 14th -- so 17 Saturday, the 14th. There's going to be a 18 Scranton first responders versus the 19 Wilkes-Barre first responders at the Mohegan 20 Arena. 21 They're going to play a hockey -- 22 there's going to be a game at 1 p.m., and a 23 game at 6 p.m. And the gates open at 12. The 24 game starts at one. So it's Scranton first 25 responders versus the Wilkes-Barre first  7 1 responders. It should be a great event. 2 Anyone else that has an announcement? 3 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: I think they 4 have basketball too. 5 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I got that. So 6 thanks, Tom, for announcing the hockey game. I 7 think that's going be wild. The Scranton 8 Police and fire department playing the 9 Wilkes-Barre police and firefighters -- first 10 responders on the ice this weekend. 11 And also the weekend after -- and I 12 think I mentioned this before. But this is 13 another great event where the cops play the 14 firefighters at Holy Rosary, a basketball game. 15 It's a riot. I've been to that a couple years 16 in a row. Two great events and also, Officer 17 Flesher, that's fantastic. I mean, we talk 18 about our hometown heros. There's an example. 19 And God bless the DPW worker and his family. 20 And I hope he has a speedy recovery. 21 Also, it's no secret that 22 Valentine's Day is this weekend. And I want to 23 wish like I do every year all the sweethearts 24 a happy Valentine's Day. And, you know, to the 25 guys, hang in there, boys. St. Patrick's Day  8 1 is right around the corner. So that is all I 2 have. Thank you. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Just 4 also, that article came out in the paper about 5 the tax bills that will be coming out 6 midFebruary. And what the tax office did want 7 everyone to know is that Scranton -- there are 8 going to be two tax bills that come out in the 9 city. 10 The Scranton city and Scranton 11 School District tax are going to be in one 12 bill. And the county tax is going to come out 13 in a second bill. So you will receive two tax 14 bills this year, one for the city and the 15 school district and the other for the county. 16 And they should be coming in midFebruary. If 17 there is any questions, you could contact the 18 Single Tax Office at 570-963-6756. 19 And if you need to call the county 20 about anything having to do with reassessment 21 in the county bill, the County Assessment 22 Office is 570-963-6728. Fourth Order. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 24 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker  9 1 tonight is Randy Davis. If you could just 2 state that into the microphone. I wasn't -- I 3 wasn't sure what you said. 4 MR. DAVIS: Yes. I have an incident 5 that happened in 2023 with January 28th. I 6 have the letter right here with the whole 7 Fortra, LLC that was working alongside the 8 CHSPC with the whole incident breach where 9 unauthorized files were given people's 10 identities. 11 You might remember or recall it was 12 an incident of the newspaper and whatnot. Now 13 I'm hearing about it three years later with SSA 14 asking me why I have multi-income sources. I'm 15 like, I don't. You guys had a security breach 16 of my files were -- I literally got a letter 17 from them where my identity was unauthorized 18 access to a cyber security hack through Fortra 19 back in 2023. 20 I have the dates here on the paper. 21 I was just trying to get this arranged so I 22 could handle this matter so that my federal 23 income through SSI because I'm a recipient 24 isn't being affected because of an identity 25 breach through an LLC that was working with  10 1 the -- according to this here. Hold on. Let 2 me pull out the letter. So I'm kind of at an 3 disablement because I'm agonizing over this. 4 I had my income frozen because of 5 this. And I didn't do anything to deserve that 6 to happen because of an unauthorized security 7 breach that I got from a letter from CHSPC, 8 LLC. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Do we have a 10 copy of that document or is that a copy of the 11 document? 12 MR. DAVIS: This is the copy of the 13 document. Could have it xeroxed to you guys so 14 you could have a copy of it. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, if you could, 16 please. 17 MR. DAVIS: That's possible. I 18 would like to get this situated and handled so 19 my SSI income is being received. It's frozen 20 at the moment. I'd like it to be active. This 21 is due to a security breach of unauthorized 22 identity records being accessed through a cyber 23 security hack during one of their incidents in 24 January 28th and 20th -- and January 30th of 25 2023.  11 1 This was supposed to be handled on 2 their end. And now I'm in the mixup of it. 3 And the Social Security Administration is 4 asking me why do I have multiple incomes, I 5 don't. I have only the income you guys provide 6 through the state's federal income service, no 7 other income. 8 I have a bank statement with my bank 9 account I could show that to you guys. I would 10 never go outside of what I'm receiving federal 11 income and do this. That's wrong and I know 12 that. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. As long as we 14 could get a copy of that that we could have 15 that information. 16 MR. DAVIS: I'll hand it to you now 17 so you guys have it and then you could hand it 18 back to me once you've xeroxed it. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 20 MR. DAVIS: These are the letters 21 I've received from Social Security 22 Administration discussing on that matter saying 23 how I have more income than my SSI provides. 24 No, I don't. And I would hope on that their 25 administrative end that they would, you know,  12 1 handle these matters and look into them, 2 especially if there's a security breach of 3 unauthorized identity files being breached 4 through their public records -- national 5 archives and peoples' identities and whatnot 6 being accessed unauthorized through a cyber 7 security hack breach which was the case in this 8 letter that was addressed to me. 9 And I hope they handle manage that 10 on their end so I'm not being harassed three 11 years later and being questioned about my 12 income when I did nothing to it or gain any new 13 income source at all. So I'm wondering why I'm 14 being questioned about this. 15 I tried talking to the SSA. They're 16 all over the place with the current 17 administration changeover. As you may remember 18 they just had a whole administration changeover 19 as of recently. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Yeah, we could 21 just take a copy so we know what's occurring 22 there. Yeah, we're going to have to look into 23 that. 24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Is that the 25 original copy?  13 1 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Alison will make 2 some copies. She'll make some quick copies. 3 MR. DAVIS: Okay. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 5 you. You could take a seat. We'll bring it 6 out to you. Thank you. Our next speaker is 7 Les Spindler. 8 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 9 Council. Oh, she's not here to set the -- 10 MR. SCHUSTER: I'm taking the time, 11 Les. Go ahead. 12 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 13 Council, Les Spindler, city resident. You 14 know, this year is a very important election, 15 the midterms. And it's funny how all of a 16 sudden last week three students from the 17 University of Scranton came here bashing the 18 Mayor that she wasn't here during the 19 snowstorm. 20 I'm not a big fan of the Mayor 21 either. But I wasn't here bashing her because 22 when it comes to the election this year, I am a 23 fan of the Mayor going against Rob Bresnahan. 24 It's funny how, you know, they're not city 25 residents but they were allowed to speak last  14 1 week. 2 I don't think they should have been 3 allowed to speak. They're not city residents. 4 And there was two other residents that wanted 5 to speak and they weren't city residents and 6 they weren't allowed to speak either, so enough 7 with that. 8 On Green Ridge Street where they put 9 the new bridge in going towards Gene Langan 10 Apartments, used to be North Scranton Jr. High 11 School, the right lane is still blocked off. 12 It used to be straight lane and a turning lane 13 to go into the Green Ridge Plaza. I don't know 14 why that is still blocked off. 15 I don't see any reason for it to be 16 because now there's two lanes still. I don't 17 know. I just -- I drive that way every day. I 18 don't know why that lane has to still be 19 blocked. But the bridge is done. And they 20 just -- the temporary bridge is all 21 disassembled too. All they have to do 22 basically now is I think take that big dirt 23 pile out of there that they put in. But, yeah, 24 so if they could open up that lane that would 25 alleviate some of the traffic.  15 1 Next thing, I spoke about this a few 2 months ago about a disabled car at 2005 Farr 3 Street. It had several tickets on it because 4 it's parked facing the wrong way. It's still 5 there. And it's covered with snow now. I just 6 wanted to bring it to Council's attention. 7 And lastly, I talked to the one 8 gentleman from PA American Water on his way 9 out, told him about the storm drains on Dorothy 10 Street that the one part keeps subsiding. And 11 he said that wasn't them. That was the city 12 who did that. 13 So three of you up there know how 14 many times I've come to talk to them about 15 that. And there's still a big dip there. So 16 and I told the guy and he agreed with me. I 17 said I'm no engineer. It doesn't take a 18 engineer to figure out that it wasn't done 19 right. 20 It's got to be dug up. I know they 21 can't do it now. I understand that. When the 22 weather breaks, that's got to be dug up and 23 refilled in and done the right way because it 24 would keep -- the ground keeps sinking. I 25 walked --  16 1 MR. MCANDREW: (Inaudible.) 2 MR. SPINDLER: That was a big -- 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will again. 4 MR. SPINDLER: That was a big shock 5 to me. I definitely thought that was the water 6 company. He said, no, that was the city. So I 7 hope I don't have to keep coming here all 8 summer now. All right. Thank you for your 9 time. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 11 very much. Next speaker is Mike Mancini. 12 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, 13 Scranton. Tonight from my vantage point, 14 second set of locked doors is not a good look 15 while every business is open and inviting, City 16 Hall is in constant lockdown. Hide and seek is 17 not a good look for the City of Scranton. 18 The height of Scranton's population 19 in this very same building was able to address 20 143,000 residents. We do not need to purchase 21 another building. Our historic downtown area 22 will have a critical change to the traffic 23 safety for the worse. 24 We're going to be removing traffic 25 lights from 17 different intersections. And it  17 1 will create havoc downtown. It becomes very 2 easy to criticize this administration when it 3 comes to ARPA spending, police funding, 4 stormwater issues, infrastructure, blight, 5 safety issues, union contracts, morale of city 6 employees or the zoning for a hospital. 7 Millions of dollars went out the 8 back door for ARPA related spending with little 9 or no oversight, start up businesses never 10 started up. And the ones who did, moved or are 11 out of business. You give our police 12 department the best technology. Without the 13 right structure or morale, they will not be 14 able to work well together. 15 Thousands of warrants remain 16 outstanding with no transparency. Instead of 17 caring for safety, the Mayor looks the other 18 way. Stormwater issues remain from flooding 19 without being corrected, others like Meadow 20 Brook Creek Project have streets in Green Ridge 21 with very little oversight and no end in sight. 22 Pretzel Park will have trees removed 23 at some point changing the landscape of our 24 historical streets. The Mayor ran the other 25 way. We have bridges like the West Lackawanna  18 1 Avenue bridge and South Webster Avenue bridge 2 where pedestrians and school children must walk 3 in the street. 4 Lack of proper signage causes 5 tractor-trailers to get stuck under low 6 bridges. The Mayor drives the other way. The 7 blight in our city remains -- the blight in our 8 city seems to get worse every year. There are 9 dozens of properties that need to be torn down 10 without a plan in place. The Mayor looks the 11 other way. 12 I sent my right to know to the 13 administration about my safety concerns. Take 14 questions with no answers. Is the Mayor being 15 honest about our safety? Are things just an 16 uptick or much more? She continues to look the 17 other way. 18 Our city unions dislike the 19 administration to the point that morale is at 20 all time low. We have the eighth DPW Director 21 in seven years while our union employees are 22 still without a contract. Yesterday's meeting 23 between the administration and union was 24 cancelled. 25 In the words of JG Wentworth, "It's  19 1 their money and they want it now." Instead, 2 the Mayor has better things to do. PA Water 3 and this administration and eight different DPW 4 directors have caused unacceptable, poor road 5 conditions. 6 The administration's answer to the 7 homeless crisis was to have no meeting in 8 November, December, or January. These are 9 critical months for the homeless population. 10 Paige ran the other way. Was there supposed to 11 be two pools at Nay Aug? Yes. She delivered 12 one and ran the other way. 13 One thing is for certain, a majority 14 Council will hold this administration 15 responsible. It's refreshing to see the way 16 that Council has operated since the beginning 17 of the year. Keep asking the right questions, 18 demanding answers, pointing out issues and 19 finding solutions because from my vantage 20 point, our city deserves a heck of a lot more. 21 Good evening, Scranton. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next 23 is Joan Hodowanitz. 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 25 Scranton. No one's mentioned it yet, but the  20 1 fire at the hospital in Dickson City, I don't 2 know whether any of our firefighters or police 3 or EMTs were part of that response. As far as 4 I've heard it was an all hands on deck 5 response. 6 I know that we took in patients at 7 CMC and Regional. So for anybody in the city, 8 either public employee or private, if you 9 participated in that effort, you have my 10 thanks. And I think they should also be 11 recognized. 12 This caucus that we had tonight, I'm 13 happy that they came. Some useful information 14 came out. But I find it utterly amazing that 15 no one thought we need -- no one thought other 16 than Dr. Rothchild that how about a map of who 17 owns what storm drains, you know, or nobody 18 asked the question how is it that we have a 19 water main break that was 135-year-old water 20 main -- what was that, Ash Street, last week? 21 It there a plan that they know where 22 the older mains are and is there a plan to, you 23 know, this one is 135 years old. Maybe we 24 should, you know, be proactive and fix that one 25 now and, you know, somewhere down the line.  21 1 Though they were useful and gave 2 some good information out, I would love to see 3 someone in the administration sit down and say, 4 okay, you know, we need to get our act together 5 for the sake of the residents who pay taxes in 6 this city. 7 And, you know, common sense things 8 like who owns what storm drain, you know, how 9 many 135-year-old water mains do we have and 10 what's your plan for fixing them and on and on. 11 But that's just my opinion. 12 Speaking of the needs for public 13 caucus, I still think you need to get in the 14 Mayor and the Director of DPW and maybe Rubicon 15 and talk about what they plan to do for the 16 next snowstorm, what went wrong on the last 17 one, what were the lessons learned. 18 And then, of course, there's that 19 ugly question of when are we going to see a 20 union contract for the DPW workers? Are we 21 going to see another call off of 40 or 30 22 personnel the next time we have some kind of 23 major weather event? 24 I just can't believe, you know, that 25 we aren't pushing that now. I understand, you  22 1 know, that labor contracts take a lot of 2 negotiation. But are we even close to maybe 3 saying, hey, we need our arbitrator? We need 4 something. Those people spent 406 days since 5 they had a contract. 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: I learned -- I 7 learned today there will be a mediator in the 8 next one. 9 MS. HODOWANITZ: That's the next 10 step? 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: That's what I 12 was told today by DPW. 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, I hope -- I 14 hope they're getting going. And the last thing 15 I want to talk about tax season. My taxes are 16 paid. And even though I don't own property, 17 I've been paying property taxes since 1999 18 because I have a family member that I take care 19 of. 20 So I have a right to say something 21 about taxes in this city. Now, my parents lost 22 their home in 1963 mine subsidence. It caved. 23 And it was five years before that condemned 24 building was taken off of our hands by the 25 city. For five years my parents paid property  23 1 taxes though legally -- though legally we could 2 not step foot on the property, okay? 3 My father worked three jobs seven 4 days a week for that five-year period to pay 5 all bills, including property taxes. He never 6 got to take a sick day or a vacation day. So 7 when I listen to Tyler Technologies during 8 their many PowerPoint presentations about the 9 reassessment that they were identifying 10 properties that had never been on the tax 11 rolls. Click. 12 I remember stories when I was a 13 young girl about people who, you know, were 14 building a house or buying a home and their 15 properties never went on the tax rolls because 16 they knew somebody, okay. 17 We didn't know anybody. We paid our 18 property taxes. So I want Tyler Technologies 19 to provide a public list of all of those 20 properties that escaped the property taxes. 21 And I want a wall of shame in this building and 22 in the county -- and in the Government Center. 23 I want to see the names. I want to 24 see their mugshots and how much money they 25 stole from the citizens. If my father could  24 1 work three jobs and pay his taxes on a building 2 we couldn't even enter, I want them to have to 3 pay their property taxes. 4 And I want all the delinquent taxes 5 paid. What's good for the goose is good for 6 the gander. Good night. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 8 speaker is William Tresler. 9 MR. TRESLER: Good evening, Council. 10 My name is Willard Tresler. I'm a student at 11 the University of Scranton. First, I just want 12 to say on the record that for the past seven, 13 eight months, I've pretty much spent every 14 evening going to bed and every morning waking 15 up in the City of Scranton. 16 And I'd like to say that I'm 17 probably more of a citizen than our Mayor Paige 18 Cognetti. But I have other matters to focus on 19 today. So recently County Commissioner Bill 20 Gaughan was talking about ICE's operations 21 within the county. I'm sure many of you are 22 familiar with it. 23 But essentially, he talked about how 24 the county wasn't going to cooperate with ICE 25 when it comes to their operations and that they  25 1 weren't going to inquire about the immigration 2 status of individuals. 3 So under the Biden administration, 4 I'm sure many of you know we've had roughly 10 5 million illegal immigrants come through the 6 southern border. And we've had no idea who's 7 coming across and who's entering into our 8 country. 9 And under -- under Trump's 10 presidency recently, we've had the lowest level 11 of illegal immigration since 1970 or since the 12 1970s with about 10,000 monthly illegal 13 immigrants according to Pew. 14 So Paige Cognetti in the past has 15 said that she's not going to make Scranton a 16 sanctuary city and that she's going to let ICE 17 do their job. And in light of the County 18 Commissioner's recent standpoint, I just want 19 to know how the Mayor is going to act going 20 forward. 21 Is she going to put illegal 22 immigrants or Scrantonians as the priority? 23 And does Mayor Cognetti support our federal 24 government establishing a secure border and 25 prosecuting illegal immigrants? And also, I  26 1 just want to say there's differences between 2 illegal immigrants who are here illegally and 3 legal immigrants have a legal status here. 4 And the idea that ICE is going after 5 immigrants, that sort of rhetoric is honestly, 6 like, it's honestly hurtful to people who 7 followed the steps to come here legally. 8 You know, coming here legally takes 9 a long time. And, you know, of course, you can 10 just go around it by coming here illegally. 11 But I think this rhetoric that ICE and that the 12 current president and the current executive 13 administration is against immigration. 14 It's hurtful for not only immigrants 15 in total, but the immigrants that actually 16 support what's going on. And, yeah, protecting 17 illegal immigrants, putting them as the 18 priority hurts us Americans. 19 And it's important going forward 20 that the Mayor Paige Cognetti prioritizes us 21 over illegal immigrants. So I would appreciate 22 to hear -- of course, she's not here today. 23 But I appreciate to hear her standpoint going 24 forward when it comes to illegal immigration, 25 ICE's operations and concerning the City of  27 1 Scranton. Thank you. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. George 3 Schottmiller. 4 MR. SCHOTTMILLER: Hi. My name is 5 George Schottmiller. I'm a student at the 6 University of Scranton. So I came here today 7 to talk about cooperation between local 8 government and the federal law enforcement, 9 specifically with ICE. 10 Across the country many different 11 cities have taken different approaches to this 12 issue. Some choose full cooperation with 13 federal agencies. Other choose to limit the 14 cooperation through policy or practice. 15 These decisions matter because they 16 directly affect public safety, law enforcement 17 coordination, and how federal resources are 18 used at the local level. ICE is a federal 19 agency with several responsibilities, which 20 include enforcing immigration law, identifying 21 and removing individuals with serious criminal 22 records, combating human trafficking, 23 addressing drug and weapon trafficking, and 24 working with jointly with other law enforcement 25 agencies.  28 1 A significant portion of ICE's 2 enforcement actions involve individuals who 3 have already been arrested or convicted of 4 crimes. When local governments cooperate with 5 these federal agencies, it often means honoring 6 lawful requests and coordinating efforts so 7 that dangerous individuals are addressed 8 officially rather than released back into the 9 community. 10 When cooperation is limited, those 11 federal responsibilities become much harder to 12 carry out. And enforcement can shift in ways 13 that are less predictable and less efficient. 14 This is not a very abstract or a difficult 15 issue to understand. It affects whether repeat 16 offenders are transferred to federal custody or 17 release. 18 It affects whether local police are 19 working in coordination with federal 20 authorities or operating separately. And it 21 also affects public trust because residents 22 deserve to know how their city handles serious 23 public safety matters. 24 Because of that, I'm asking for 25 clarity rather than just general statements  29 1 from the Mayor. Again, she is not here. I 2 want to know if she will commit the city of -- 3 if she will commit that the City of Scranton 4 will cooperate with immigration and customs 5 enforcement and any other federal law 6 enforcement agencies when they are carrying 7 out their lawful duties including request for 8 assistance or information that are permitted 9 under federal law. 10 And if the city does limit 11 cooperation, are there any current formal or 12 informal policies that restrict the cooperation 13 with ICE beyond what federal law already 14 requires. If such limits do exist, who 15 implemented them and what is justification. 16 And then if no such limits exist, can residents 17 expect continued cooperation with the federal 18 authorities particularly in cases involving 19 individuals with criminal records or public 20 safety risks. That's it. Thank you. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 22 speaker is Lisa August. 23 MS. AUGUST: Hi. My name is Lisa 24 August. And I've been a resident of Scranton 25 for 55 years. And I'm here to represent the  30 1 homeless and the never ending cycle. And I 2 have a plan to stop the never ending cycle. 3 I've talked to some CRS workers. 4 And I talked to people that run the 5 organizations out here. And I've lived on all 6 sides of life. I grew up in the projects. I 7 had a business. I went to jail. I was an 8 addict. I had mental problems. I had 9 mental -- medical issues. 10 And I know how to stop the never 11 ending cycle. We need a building out here that 12 could house the homeless that could provide 13 mental health, hospitalization, and that could 14 provide drug and alcohol all in one building 15 that could provide grants for them to be able 16 to succeed. 17 We need them to learn how to live so 18 they could have cooking and cleaning in the 19 place. The people in our town, the regular 20 people do not know how to get help. And if we 21 provide like a one-year program for them, put 22 100 people in a building, provide all the needs 23 that they need to change the homelessness in 24 Scranton, it could change the never ending 25 cycle of them going to shelters, going into  31 1 jail, coming back out as addicts. 2 If they had the stability to 3 succeed, we could change homelessness. And I 4 talked to CRS workers and they are drawing up a 5 plan. I put in for some grants because this is 6 my plan all of my life. This is my plan all of 7 my life to change society and help the people 8 in the community. 9 I've always tried to feed other 10 people in the community when I had my money, 11 when I had my store. I let the homeless people 12 sleep in the back of my store. So I'm asking 13 for help to try to change one thing. I know 14 that they want to change -- they don't want the 15 homeless people in the streets. 16 And they're going to keep going back 17 into the streets if there's no system. So I'm 18 asking for help. The guy says there's so many 19 empty buildings here. Give us an empty 20 building. And the girl that was talking, she 21 says they know how to get the grants. 22 People, the average person does not 23 know how to get the grants because I don't know 24 how to get the grants. And if I did know how 25 to get the grants -- I don't know. Everything  32 1 is just so hard. The grants are so hard to 2 get. 3 There's a whole process of grants. 4 And homeless people are not going to do that. 5 They're going to be homeless. They're going to 6 be on the streets. And they're going to end up 7 right back where they came from. They end up 8 in jail. They end up back up on drugs because 9 there's no system to help them. 10 So I'm just asking for help because 11 I know the system will work. And I have people 12 to back me up. I have some CRS workers that 13 want to work with me and I'm sure other people 14 from the community can all pitch in. 15 And I'm sure if you want to make the 16 city a better city, we could clean up the 17 railroad tracks and all the homelessness and 18 get that out of there and stop the never ending 19 cycle. That's all I have to say. Thank you 20 very much. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 22 speaker is Ron Ellman. 23 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council, 24 Ron E. Ellman. I haven't been sick. I just 25 haven't been coming. Someone thought I might  33 1 have died, I guess. I'm just as vocal and 2 opinionated as always. I want to welcome you 3 two new suits up there. 4 You're replacing the disastrous lame 5 duck that left this city so much chaos and 6 turmoil purposely. It's, you know, in the 7 paper I saw last week 50 foreclosure, 20 in the 8 city. And Cognetti thinks this is such a -- 9 things are so good. 10 Fifty foreclosures aren't 11 good. This woman got 9,000 votes to be in 12 office. But there was seven votes against her. 13 That's not a favorable overwhelming win I don't 14 think. And I hope you two will overcome all 15 these nonwealthy nonresidents who have bought 16 up all the old obsolete downtown properties 17 that are all tax exempt because of their age. 18 But they use grants, loans, loan 19 forgiveness, everything they can to remodel 20 these old places. And they are tax exempt. 21 They use our money. And they're tax exempt. 22 It's -- they've had a -- I guess an 23 extravaganza bonanza on the taxpayers. 24 It's my opinion that this Mayor has 25 wrongfully used her position and trust as a  34 1 ploy to obtain grants, to obtain all of this 2 money that should be meant for Scrantonians but 3 it's been funneled downtown for her sick 4 demented obsession of rebuilding the place for 5 the developers. 6 It's a residential Utopia being done 7 right under your noses. I didn't come to your 8 first meeting because I've had five years of 9 listening to misinformation and nonsense and so 10 forth how good things are. She seemed to have 11 a lapse of memory about 200 miles of the worst 12 streets in Pennsylvania. 13 Your children are walking to and 14 from school buses on remnants of sidewalks all 15 over this city, if any sidewalks. Right there 16 where I live there's areas with no sidewalks. 17 Everywhere there are sidewalks, there is so 18 many rentals now all of these houses been 19 turned into rentals. The sidewalks are used 20 for parking lots. 21 This is the crooked Scranton that I 22 keep talking about that I live in. And before 23 I go, I just want to ask you two new gentlemen, 24 this Council gave away a couple million dollars 25 to the Scranton Parking Authority. I've been  35 1 trying to get them to give veterans and 2 handicap free parking downtown. 3 And I wish you would bring it up. 4 There's not a reason in the world this couldn't 5 be done for these people. Thank you. 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, 7 is that something we could look into? 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 9 McAndrew. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up 11 is Lee Morgan. 12 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council. 13 My first thing here tonight is, you know, for 14 the people that are thinking of using Lake 15 Scranton for cooling water for data centers, I 16 think the residents have to realize one 17 thing -- well, a couple things. 18 You should read what Pennsylvania 19 American Water's corporate plan is because I 20 really think you should educate yourself. The 21 other thing is, you need to realize that the 22 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania owns all the 23 water, okay. 24 Now, nothing personal against the 25 Council, but I just don't find you to be  36 1 competent. And I think the way forward is we 2 need a new Home Rule Charter in this city. And 3 we have to use the eminent domain as a way to 4 recapture the water system in this city, the 5 sewer system in this city. 6 And we need to ask ourself another 7 question. How come residents of Alaska get 8 money for oil and gas exploration that went on 9 there and the money that's raised? And in 10 Pennsylvania, we don't get anything. And we've 11 got the biggest oil and gas fields probably in 12 the country? 13 We have terrible elected officials. 14 You can't even -- you know, you look at -- 15 bring up ECTV for a minute. 1.6 million 16 dollars in a franchise fee, and yet the public 17 doesn't have access to that channel now because 18 the politicians and the Council circumvented 19 it. 20 Not only did they do that, they gave 21 one of the channels away, which tells you that 22 they really don't work for because that channel 23 was created by the Congress and Senate to give 24 the people a voice in their community. And the 25 city itself looks worse than it ever looked in  37 1 my lifetime. 2 We've torn down a lot of buildings 3 that we'll never be able to build again, never. 4 Because we don't have that kind of money. You 5 know, you talk about the roads and the bridges. 6 We don't maintain any of that stuff. The 7 budget itself isn't even real. 8 Now, I could do a forensic audit of 9 the city. You should invite me to do that. 10 I'm going to ask a federal judge let me do that 11 to ECTV's books because what I think is, we've 12 created a major serfdom here. I don't think 13 you Council members are capable. 14 I've come here for 40 years, watched 15 it all. I've heard it all. I don't know. You 16 look at our State Senator and you look at our 17 State Representative that was on this Council. 18 What have they done for us? What have any of 19 them done? Look at our educational system. We 20 just had some students -- I was amazed these 21 students got up here and spoke about ICE and 22 were fairly articulate and were knowledgeable. 23 You know, there's a lot of different 24 ways to come into a country. But the number is 25 much more than 10 million because we don't know  38 1 how many just got away. And, you know, when 2 you've got a President of the United States who 3 gave the eulogy to the Grand Dragon of the Ku 4 Klux Klan which was Joe Biden and you name an 5 exit after the man. 6 Because the Democrats have never 7 been for the ordinary people. They were for 8 slavery and all the other things. And look at 9 some of the things that Linden Johnson said in 10 1960s about blacks. The country's a mess. I 11 don't hear any vision coming from this Council. 12 We have a Mayor who doesn't live in 13 the city who was elected. It's amazing how 14 broken this city is. And you're never going to 15 do anything. You're just going to sit there 16 and tell people you're legislators. 17 Okay, and in the end what's going to 18 happen is, people are going to have to find out 19 whether they have standing. They're going to 20 have to pick up a law book like I've done. And 21 they're going to have to try to move through it 22 because it's really pathetic where we find our 23 country and how uneducated our children our as 24 out society declines and then as we put up with 25 elected officials that are lapdogs for  39 1 politicians in higher office. 2 We just keep getting drowned out. 3 People can't afford their water bills, their 4 gas bills, their sewer bills, their taxes and 5 you have no answers. And you never will have 6 one. Thank you. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 8 anyone else like to address Council? 9 MS. KOLOSKI: Good evening. It's my 10 first time here since the new Council is 11 seated, so welcome. I just wanted to mention 12 about the gas company. The gas company is 13 going for a rate hike on March 29th. 14 I haven't heard anybody talking 15 about that or speaking about it. And I haven't 16 seen anything in the paper about any PUC 17 hearings with the gas company. So my question 18 is, are there going to be any hearings? 19 Are you guys and the representatives 20 in Harrisburg going to fight for us with the 21 gas like you guys did with the water? That's 22 my question. If they know anybody -- or where 23 it's going to be and if they're going to have 24 any kind of meetings? 25 Another question I'm going to ask  40 1 since there's new people on Council too is, 2 does anybody have an update on 421 Colfax 3 Avenue that was taken off the demolition list 4 because it was in litigation or is it still in 5 litigation or if anybody could find that out 6 because we would really love to see it gone on 7 our block. And -- 8 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll find out about 9 that. 10 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay. So that's it. 11 Have a good night. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 13 you. In terms of meetings, I haven't heard 14 anything yet on gas hike. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: No. But I'll check 16 into it. I'll reach out to the PUC. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 18 you. 19 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council, 20 Tom Coyne, Minooka. I sent you all an e-mail 21 which I'm sure that you haven't got and fully 22 in-depth read on it because it's quite long and 23 I sent it purely because it would not be able 24 to be spoken of and absorbed within a five 25 minute time span.  41 1 First of all, I was asked from of 2 the people who were taking a look at tonight's 3 meeting and made comments on the ECTV channel 4 to note that University of Scranton students, 5 especially if they are full time live here more 6 than six months and one day. 7 So unless we're going micromanage 8 and somehow say that the homeless can't talk 9 because they live here but they don't have a 10 residency, I think we would micromanage this 11 speaking forum a little bit more than 12 necessary. They live in the University of 13 Scranton. And they're full time students. 14 They reside here by PA law because 15 they are here over six months. That's all 16 that's required for them to be a resident. And 17 they should be allowed to speak. It was noted 18 that my sarcasm in the last session on the stop 19 lights being funded by the Governor down in the 20 other municipality are approved because of 21 safety. 22 And then at the same time up here 23 the same lights that are dangerous and need to 24 be pulled down in other communities need to be 25 improved for safety. It was sarcastic because  42 1 it seems depending upon the agenda of the 2 people in charge, decides what safety is, not 3 what real safety is but what safety wants to 4 portray. And that's a big issue. 5 We had a comment about a data breach 6 in January. That's pretty amazing that we have 7 a data breach in January of 2024. That's never 8 happened before, has it? Well, we know it has. 9 It happened behind this very building. 10 Moving onto issues here that are -- 11 I mentioned about the axon cameras in the 12 e-mail and the fleet -- the Flock cameras. The 13 issue not so much of license plates but the 14 aggregative data -- the aggregative data that 15 they collect when they could follow you home. 16 They could follow your associations. 17 They could follow your children. They could 18 follow what groups you go to, what church you 19 go to, what political venues you meet, collect 20 them all together and do a map of your entire 21 lifestyle. That's an issue. 22 That's not just we're looking for a 23 license plate. It becomes a real surveillance 24 network. And that's an issue that we need to 25 look at, especially considering what the  43 1 recent -- one of the Court's saying that all 2 Flock camera data, you could access it through 3 right to knows because since it's not an 4 investigation and they snap everyone, it's open 5 for right to knows because since it's taken 6 care of everyone and it's a public resource, 7 people have the right to ask for the data from 8 those cameras. 9 And eventually someone will to find 10 out where people -- politicians go to, who they 11 associate with, who they talk to, who their 12 churches are. It's a slippery slope. And we 13 need to look at this beforehand reasonably 14 towards what barriers need to be put in place 15 for safety so we're not giving a police 16 surveillance state. 17 Moving on before my time runs out, 18 we have 5-C and D. I'd like to ask on the 19 reappointments for the Civil Service Commission 20 since they are a decisionmaking body, have 21 these two applicants put in the SOFI forms? 22 MR. SCHUSTER: They have. 23 MR. COYNE: Okay. And on that, the 24 dates need to be changed in the actual 25 legislation, because according to the  44 1 authorizing legislation of the body itself, 2 they are to the end of the term of the Mayor. 3 So a date should not be put on there. 4 It is through the end of the Mayoral 5 term is the actual expiration. That is part of 6 the governing body and the charter of those 7 organizations. So it cannot be changed just by 8 we'll throw in a random date. That's a 9 verbiage that was on the 2003 that I put 10 forward to the body. Other than that, have 11 yourself a good evening. Thank you. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 13 anyone else like to address Council? 14 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik 15 Little speaking. I'm wondering because half 16 the people that speak here they stand back 17 here. And you can't hear them talking. What 18 would it take to get a ten dollar bluetooth 19 speaker to put out there so you could hear? 20 I see these giant speakers, but I 21 can't hear half the people. Maybe he could 22 make a fine against people who don't talk into 23 the microphone loud enough that it might force 24 stuff. I was really glad to see the students 25 from Scranton coming here because the same  45 1 people have been running the -- the government 2 and most of those people are judges in this 3 state. 4 But I'd just like to put it out 5 there if you want to run for a PA State 6 Senator, you have to live in PA for four years 7 and live in the district for I think six 8 months. And if you want to be a PA Rep, you 9 have to live -- you have to -- you have to live 10 in, I believe, Pennsylvania one year, something 11 like that. 12 But people should look into it 13 because people give up on democracy and they 14 mainly do that because of their education and 15 their media. I mean, when I think of ABC media 16 and WNEP, it just makes me sick because I've 17 been following it all my life. 18 You know, Combat was on ABC. But, 19 you know, after Stephanopoulos was on Bill 20 Clinton's cabinet, you know, he goes into the 21 media business. People don't know what's going 22 on. And my advice -- because I found over the 23 years people that are -- if you want to get a 24 good idea of what's going on, you got to listen 25 to Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens  46 1 at this point and Leah Carol. There's other 2 people because our media is gone. 3 That's why Trump was always pointing 4 out fake news all the time. It's gone. It's 5 wrong. You read the Times-Tribune, half the 6 articles, you know, they are written by 7 Bloomberg or Associated Press. All of these 8 people that it's political. 9 And, you know, also, you know, all 10 of this Hitler stuff I see, I saw a sticker, 11 you know, on the side of a thing, you know, 12 picture of Hitler and then half the face is 13 Trump, you know, it's like this thing and 14 people are put into these detention centers and 15 they're complaining about them. 16 You know, I'm thinking about 17 Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. I 18 mean, all of these things are like, you have to 19 fill out an application and everything. They 20 should make one month where they just get rid 21 of the illegals and people are saying, oh, 22 well, there's 10 million illegals. 23 There's over 20 million illegals. 24 And the whole world is legal. And, you know, 25 half the judges are partisan judges. And they  47 1 are really administrative judges. And, you 2 know, I see the flag here. It doesn't have 3 gold fringe which that's the other part of the 4 problem is maritime law. 5 But, you know, I hope the City of 6 Scranton, it's going to take -- I hope some of 7 these students -- because I really learned a 8 lot about government when I went to Buffalo 9 State. I was very involved in the student 10 government. 11 It really gives you a good idea. 12 And through that I met Harvey Weinstein who ran 13 Harvey and Corkey's there. You know, I met 14 John Prine from our concert committee. And I'd 15 make bills all the time for different things. 16 And you get an idea about the executive, the 17 legislative, and the judiciary and how things 18 work. 19 But our whole country, I mean, the 20 two things that kill our country more than 21 anything else is communism and Islamic. They 22 come in. Obama flew them in. And they're 23 making all of these gun laws through the UN, 24 you know, rich white men at the UN and New 25 York.  48 1 This is taking our country down. We 2 need some thinking people in office. And I 3 hope young people run. Thank you. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Fifth 5 Order. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 7 MOTIONS. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 9 have any motions or comments? 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have a couple 11 of brief ones. Bear with me a moment. First, 12 just wanted to apologize for my recent absence. 13 I know you all missed me. But I was ill with 14 the flu and then lost my voice after I was even 15 feeling better from the flu, which was 16 unfortunate. 17 And then I did have a planned 18 vacation following that and thankfully was 19 feeling better enough to do that. But I did 20 want to make mention of the storm that had 21 occurred -- the large storm that we had a lot 22 of questions and a lot of concerns brought to 23 us by residents which I've received as well. 24 So I do appreciate the work that DPW 25 had done during -- during the course of that  49 1 storm. I know it was a very large undertaking. 2 But I also understand that there were things 3 that could have been done better and that it 4 did take quite a while for snow to be cleaned 5 up around many of our neighborhoods and 6 intersections even received a lot of issues 7 within my own neighborhood. 8 So I appreciate the questions that 9 have been brought forward by my fellow Council 10 members. And I'm also interested in ensuring 11 that we have a better plan for the future to 12 address large storms such as this. 13 And let's see. Next, I know Miss 14 Hodowanitz brought up Lehigh Valley Health 15 Network and the fire. I believe I did see that 16 Scranton Fire was dispatched out to assist with 17 that fire. And so I appreciate the work that 18 all the firefighters and emergency services 19 had -- had done to work on saving the people 20 that were -- that were in the hospital, the 21 employees, the patients and then doing what 22 they could to get the fire out as well. 23 The orthopedic section and the rehab 24 section and MRI were a total loss. And that's 25 actually the company that I work for. So  50 1 there's been, you know, a lot of changes 2 throughout the company to try to absorb the 3 patients and to continue having the employees, 4 the orthopedic doctors, the therapists seeing 5 patients and the hospital side of things. 6 And if you've been reading the news 7 and the updates on it too, had explained that 8 there was a firewall that really helped to 9 prevent as much damage to the hospital side of 10 things and the fire from entering into that 11 side. 12 But there was damage from -- from 13 the smoke. But I believe that should be 14 opening up sooner than later. In the meantime 15 they're doing everything to still keep 16 orthopedic appointments and to reschedule 17 patients for MRIs and for the therapy services 18 as well. 19 So it's not -- that's just what 20 I've -- what I've seen as someone being within 21 the network but not a formal statement on 22 behalf of LVHN. 23 And I had a resident complaint 24 regarding cars that are -- and vehicles that 25 are being parked on the sidewalks within the  51 1 Hill Section, particularly Harrison Avenue. 2 This has long been a complaint, something that 3 I've brought before Council in the past over 4 the years. 5 I believe other Council members have 6 brought this up too. We really need better 7 enforcement, especially along Harrison Avenue. 8 A lot of these properties do have access behind 9 the homes and through the alleys so maybe some 10 other parking options. But instead, they often 11 block the sidewalks making it difficult for 12 people to walk on the sidewalk. 13 So I did receive some pictures. I 14 believe there's several blocks that are 15 impacted by this. But the complaint I received 16 was specifically about the 600 block. So I 17 will forward that along. But I would ask for 18 some cooperation from SPD and making -- I know 19 there's supposed to be a certain amount of 20 footage for pedestrians to walk on their -- on 21 the sidewalk. 22 But I know many of these vehicles 23 are over that or there's -- there's really 24 no -- no space. And so then when you have that 25 combined with the amount of snow that there's  52 1 still around, then we have people walking in 2 the streets and that's not safe either. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll bring it to 4 their attention again, Doctor. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I'd 6 greatly appreciate that. And there was an 7 another issue I brought up a few weeks ago and 8 it came up tonight again on Green Ridge Street 9 and the bridge issues, the traffic issues 10 there, received a few complaints about that. 11 And I know I brought it up before. 12 But I don't think I saw any response on that. 13 Is there any information that we've received on 14 opening up that other lane or ways to alleviate 15 the traffic congestion? 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, I'll ask about 17 the second lane. I know they've already looked 18 into switching the light, the turning signal. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Right. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up on 21 both. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. That's 23 all that I have for tonight. Thank you. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 25 very much, Dr. Rothchild. Mr. Sean McAndrew,  53 1 do you have any motions or comments? 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. First I 3 want to follow up with some questions I asked 4 last week that we got answers to. First was 5 e-mails from the district that Council still 6 has not gotten from the storm. I had a great 7 call with IT Director Reager. So I appreciate 8 him reaching out and having a conversation with 9 me today. 10 Understanding from what I was told 11 there was something that flagged them on the 12 district side for their domain, an e-mail that 13 came in. Normally that takes about seven days 14 that, like, puts a block on the whole domain 15 which was interesting to me because I had them 16 send e-mails -- test e-mails after that, you 17 know, a week after -- I had them send one 18 today. 19 I still haven't gotten it. I 20 believe there's maybe another e-mail that might 21 have triggered another reset to the clock. 22 That's an update I got when I left here. So as 23 of today, we still don't have those e-mails. 24 Normally when an e-mail domain is blocked, that 25 means any e-mail from that domain, which would  54 1 be the school district, should not be able to 2 come into the city e-mail address. 3 Interesting enough, when I spoke 4 with the District, there's e-mails going back 5 and forth that whole day from the morning up 6 until 6:30, 7:00. And the e-mail we were sent 7 was at 5:00. So again, I'm thrilled that the 8 administration got the e-mail. 9 They needed to get that e-mail. My 10 question is, why do we not have the e-mail. I 11 was told all the blocks and everything has been 12 removed. But it's still concerning that 13 certain people with city e-mail addresses got 14 the e-mails and were able to correspond back 15 and forth but the five of us here weren't. 16 Okay, so I'm going to still look 17 into that and try to ask some more questions. 18 But to me, that doesn't make any sense to me. 19 Next was Fidelity. I asked if there was going 20 to be a more in-depth inspection. There was a 21 report before they even purchased -- voted to 22 purchase the building from October from the 23 engineering -- the engineering firm. 24 The response I got was, yes, there 25 will be another, not who, not when. Update we  55 1 got now was there's -- they can't do the roof 2 inspection yet because of the snow. So it's a 3 15-day extension. Well, when was the extension 4 agreed upon? Was it before last meeting or was 5 it in between, you know, this week and last 6 week? 7 When I first got on Council, I had a 8 great meeting with administration telling us 9 that they want to work together. They want to 10 answer our questions, you know, and kind of be 11 a team and go back and forth. I've been on 12 here a month. The questions we are getting are 13 vague. 14 They never give us a little extra. 15 They never give us the full picture, just a 16 simple yes. It was shocking to me. If they 17 gave us all the information saying, yes, it's 18 going to be two weeks here's what we have so 19 far. If everything else is done on that 20 inspection instead of the roof, give us that 21 information now so we could digest it instead 22 of waiting another week and who knows when the 23 full report is going to be there. 24 Is it going to be the last meeting 25 before the due diligent period is over? To me  56 1 it feels like, you know, they're kneeling and 2 kind of run out the clock. And again, I'm 3 hoping the inspections come back and everything 4 is fine. But what if it's not? 5 So it's frustrating that when we ask 6 these type of questions and you'll see the next 7 one when I talk about the storm, we get very 8 vague answers or parts of answers and dribs and 9 drabs. If they think that's going to make me 10 stop asking questions, well, they don't know 11 me. 12 They don't know what I did on the 13 school board. They don't know where I'm from, 14 Oram Street. We don't quit. I will continue 15 to ask these questions until we get answers. 16 So hopefully, I know they're watching. They 17 start giving us all the answers at once or at 18 least give us a forecast when to expect the 19 answers. 20 Next, the storm, I was told we were 21 going to get a post storm report. That was two 22 weeks ago. DPW Director will do an after 23 action review of the past storm. Okay, fast 24 forward to this week. The response we got -- 25 let me pull that up so I read it word for word,  57 1 apologize for the delay. 2 The response we got was the -- oh, I 3 asked also, once we get the post storm report, 4 can it be put on the website so the residents 5 could see it because we got so many people 6 coming to Council to discuss it; but also so 7 many calls and e-mails and stuff on social 8 media complaining about the roads and the 9 conditions and how it was handled. 10 The response we got was, the 11 administration can discuss additional DPW 12 concerns with Council in executive session. 13 Okay? For an administration that for the past 14 seven years talked about transparency this, 15 transparency that, that's not transparent. All 16 right? 17 When so many people probably called 18 the administration, called us, came here to 19 speak and want answers from this, to stay it's 20 going to be discussed in executive session and 21 not give us that post storm report which we 22 still don't have or put on the website -- you 23 know, what I learned -- I've been a public 24 official for about five years. I hate using 25 that word, but I have been.  58 1 When people keep saying 2 transparency, transparency, transparency, 3 normally they're not the most transparent. Is 4 when you don't have to say and you do the work, 5 that's when you are transparent. So I would 6 like an answer -- a physical document of the 7 post storm report. 8 And some of the answers I believe 9 we're getting back is saying that because they 10 are in contract discussions and negotiations -- 11 to mix the storm report with contract 12 negotiations is crazy to me. 13 I mean, I understand them not giving 14 us the information regarding how much they have 15 set aside for the contract report -- no, for 16 the upcoming contract. 17 I get that. Maybe they don't 18 think -- they think we're going to say it out 19 loud or something like that. That's fine. But 20 what's concerning to me is, when I get calls 21 all last week that somebody who worked in the 22 campaign is on social media saying, oh, I know 23 what's in that contract what the DPW want and 24 it's going to light the city on fire and it's 25 so expensive, so do I have to join the campaign  59 1 team to get that answer? Is that -- is that 2 how we're going to do, like, do this? 3 Information if it's not going to go 4 to Council, should not go outside of here. I'm 5 not saying that's even true that is was, but 6 that's at least what somebody's saying that's 7 working in the campaign directly. So going 8 forward, I would like a report from the 9 administration giving us a post storm report, 10 okay? 11 They said they were going to do it. 12 Let's do it. Let's have it open because 13 everybody wants answers and they deserve 14 answers. I did ask for the prestorm plan. 15 They did give me answers on that. You know, I 16 think some of it was discussed they maintained 17 crucial roadways throughout the storm. 18 Before the storm they put salt down 19 and they focused on the routes -- the hospital 20 routes, the intersection, hills, and continued 21 to plow. 22 Post storm report -- the post storm 23 plan was -- was to improve, open and treat 24 roads. That's it, again, very vague. Not how 25 many trucks are out, how many this, how many  60 1 that. That's what we're looking for to learn 2 from this. Again, that is a learning period. 3 So that is all the questions I have 4 for administration. So I hope we could get 5 that information. The last one I do have was, 6 Frank, we worked on this today. A lot of 7 complaints over the North Hyde Park Avenue. 8 There's a house over there. I 9 believe it was condemned, 754, every other week 10 doors wide open. I'm getting complaints from 11 residents that people are in and out of that 12 house during all hours of the day and the 13 night. Some concerns from people who live in 14 that area they, you know, they have family 15 members who go to work early. 16 They don't want them walking out 17 alone because there's some people again hanging 18 around that house that probably shouldn't be 19 there. So I think, Frank, I think we got a 20 good response back that DPW will be boarding 21 it up and also probably putting it on the 22 condemned list. So we'll keep an eye on that. 23 But I just wanted to report that out. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up. 25 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And  61 1 that's all I have. Thanks. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 3 Mr. Mark McAndrew, do you have any motions or 4 comments? 5 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I do. So 6 piggybacking on Councilman McAndrew to the 7 right of me with his inquiry about an after 8 storm report and administration wants to 9 reserve that for an executive session is 10 horrendous, ridiculous. 11 I'm here, you know, quite a few 12 years. Every time we have an executive 13 session, we have to beg for one. When I was on 14 the school board and some of my colleagues 15 here, executive sessions were the norm, right, 16 and only certain things could be discussed. 17 But my tenure here, there might have 18 been three or -- three. But we had to beg for 19 them. But for them, administration to come 20 back and say, well, you want a report on the 21 storm, we'll reserve that for an executive 22 session, doesn't make any sense to me. That's 23 preposterous. 24 I don't know what's going on there. 25 Well -- well, I do know what's going on there.  62 1 All right. And next up, so I'm sure everybody 2 is familiar with the detour on Main Avenue 3 that's going to be up there for Leggett's Creek 4 bridge they're replacing for at least a year. 5 All right. So there is a detour. 6 And the detour going north up Main you turn 7 left onto Wells and take it all the way up to 8 Marvine. And then there's a stop sign there. 9 At that stop sign -- and it's very 10 tight even when there is no snow on, you know, 11 both sides of the road. It's a very tight turn 12 with oncoming traffic utilizing that detour to 13 the different direction. 14 Right at that stop sign at Marvine, 15 there is a huge, huge hole now. I don't know 16 if it's -- you know, if it's a result of the, 17 you know, the horrific weather we've had. But, 18 Mr. Voldenberg, one of the detour signs that 19 were there next to the stop sign is down in 20 this hole now. 21 I mean, it's part of the gutter. 22 But it's encroaching onto the road. So it's 23 very dangerous. I see accidents happening or 24 potential accidents because the way how busy 25 that is now with the detour if you could please  63 1 have DPW take a look at it. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 3 MR. MCANDREW: I have pictures. I 4 actually stopped. That's how I get to work. I 5 actually stopped and took pictures. And it's 6 even bigger than it was at one -- some of the 7 snow has melted away. It's very scary. So -- 8 and very dangerous. So it's a public safety 9 issue we need to address immediately. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 11 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. And 12 secondly, so a couple weeks ago -- I don't know 13 if you remember and has been ongoing, the HUP 14 test of the nonprofits, right, we've been 15 talking about this for a couple years. 16 Lackawanna County said, yeah, we're 17 going to put together letters and we're going 18 to work on this and we're going to work on it 19 together and the city say, well, Lackawanna's 20 doing it. They're doing it for us. They're 21 going to send the letters out. And they did a 22 couple years ago. 23 And the final one went out in 24 September. And I asked them about it. And 25 they said, oh, no, they're going to send  64 1 another one out. They're preparing it now. 2 With -- let me see -- so I asked -- I'm sorry. 3 So when I did inquire about it, I said -- they 4 said they're sending out a second round of 5 letters to the people that didn't respond in 6 the first place. 7 These are nonprofits that didn't 8 respond. So I asked to follow up -- Mr. 9 Voldenberg to follow up. And I said, I want to 10 expand on my inquiry. Who are the parties that 11 did not respond to the first mailing, which was 12 a year and a half ago. And now he's sending a 13 second mailing and they're going to give them 14 months to respond to that -- this May -- 15 upcoming May. 16 So the answer I got was, oh, they 17 appointed Council and assessment office 18 reviewed a draft letter this week to the 19 entities and they are going to send it to the 20 entities that respond in the first place. I 21 didn't ask that. I already knew that the 22 entities didn't responded in the first place. 23 My question was, who didn't respond 24 the first time? Simple. I didn't get that 25 answer. I got a roundabout bunch of verbiage  65 1 that doesn't answer my letter -- answer my 2 question. All right, so can you please ask for 3 the list people or nonprofits that didn't 4 respond the first time? 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 6 MR. MCANDREW: All right. And maybe 7 they have -- if there's any reason why 8 or -- but I'm not asking anything else. I want 9 that answer. And I've been getting a bunch of 10 inquiries as to what nonprofits are -- is it 11 general nonprofits they're considering, not 12 just like the large universities. 13 And -- but they're talking about 14 other, like, every nonprofit within the 15 Scranton area because it was never clear who 16 they were actually contacting. But just give 17 me, you know, give me some example. But we 18 definitely need to know who didn't respond. 19 That is the question I asked. So 20 I'd like that answer. Also, I want to 21 followup. This gentleman e-mailed me on some 22 issues that I brought up in the past and that 23 have, you know, it hasn't been taken care of. 24 This one I haven't brought up. It's a new one 25 from the gentleman. All right. We're two  66 1 weeks in the snow storm -- since the snow 2 storm. 3 In his alley which is the 1500 4 Rosen Court is solid ice. So could we please 5 replay that to the DPW to see what they can do 6 about that? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 8 McAndrew. 9 MR. MCANDREW: And to clarify for 10 him, he's saying, you know, he has to put his 11 recycling is required out front. But that's 12 pretty much everybody. But he has an issue 13 with that. So I'm not sure. I don't know -- 14 to answer my -- I don't know the answer. 15 Does DPW pick up recycling in 16 certain alleys or courts that I'm unaware of. 17 For the most part I thought it was out front. 18 All right. And also, this is -- he has an 19 issue with 300 of Fig Street that runs along 20 Schimpff Court and Fisher Place in South Side. 21 I guess there's a lot of blight 22 issues that code enforcement is aware of that 23 has never really done anything, you know, can 24 we see the status of the owner and the clean up 25 of this property?  67 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. That's a 2 chronic problem. They're calling it a 3 junkyard. I'll follow up. 4 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yeah, I know. 5 This gentleman said that. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: We bought it up 7 with them last week again. 8 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I'm sorry, what? 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: We bought it to 10 them again last week. 11 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Well, can 12 we get an update on that to see where code 13 enforcement is with that? And also, I brought 14 this issue for this gentleman a month ago. And 15 I don't know if it was corrected or not because 16 we used to get from administration updates on 17 our inquiries with regards to quality of life 18 and the status thereof. 19 But Mrs. Cipriani used to do that 20 for us, but not anymore. I think we should get 21 back on that schedule. But this inquiry or 22 this concern I brought up is Pittston Avenue 23 and Campbell Street. There's a pave cut that 24 has sunk on the corner. All right? If we 25 could please check on that -- the status of  68 1 that. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 3 MR. MARK MCANDREW: That's all I 4 have. Thanks. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 6 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments? 7 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. I'll tell a 8 little bit about the one response that I got 9 from the administration. If anyone remembers, 10 there was discussion around the call-offs and I 11 was discussing how, you know, were they two 12 separate issues. 13 There was a big article in the 14 newspaper about how the call-offs hampered 15 plowing and snow removal. I asked a bunch of 16 questions around how many trucks we had, how 17 many routes were covered. All that it said 18 that none were left uncovered. 19 So last week I asked a specific 20 question to say at what point during the storm 21 were there plows that were ready and available 22 to be plowing that were not due to the lack of 23 manpower. 24 And I got the same response of the 25 administration can discuss additional DPW  69 1 concerns with Council in an executive session. 2 And this was already semi-litigated in the 3 newspaper, right, whether who -- I don't know 4 who brought it to the newspaper, who was the 5 one that said -- maybe someone called the 6 administration and said, "Is this true? Did 7 you really have this many call-offs?" 8 But there was conversation had in 9 the newspaper about this specific issue. And 10 now I'm being told that it needs to be in 11 executive session. I had multiple people reach 12 out to me, comments back and forth on Facebook 13 posts about the DPW call-offs as well as the 14 snow removal and what -- what the issue was 15 there. 16 And I was asking the question, Mr. 17 Voldenberg, as you noted, was to try to get a 18 fuller view. Did one impact the other or were 19 they two different issues? So I would like to 20 ask the administration what the rationale is of 21 why they can't answer if any plow trucks that 22 were ready and available were not filled, what 23 the rationale is there as to why they can't 24 answer that question publicly. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll go back again.  70 1 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. I'm glad to 2 see that Pennsylvania American Water came in 3 tonight. I've been talking a lot about them on 4 my time on Council. I was glad to have that 5 dialogue with them. 6 I do believe that we as a Council 7 and myself need to stay on top of them with 8 some of the data center stuff. That's a big 9 issue that's going to continue being a big 10 issue. And what I heard from them on that 11 topic tonight was very reassuring. 12 I actually -- most of my questions 13 around consumption, capital operating costs, 14 infrastructure costs I was going to ask them, 15 they address in their remarks that that would 16 all be on that potential data center if that 17 even came to be. 18 But I do believe that we need to 19 stay on that before it gets away from us and we 20 don't have a really -- any say in the issue to 21 continue that dialogue with the water company 22 knowing that this is an issue that's not going 23 away any time soon as well as I'm happy to see 24 that they'll be coming back when the weather 25 gets better to talk about some of these  71 1 restoration projects, the final restoration and 2 making sure that we keep on top of them with 3 that as well. 4 Like I've talked about for so long, 5 my neighborhood, it's been -- it's been mayhem 6 for quite some time. So I really want to see 7 this get across the finish line and have 8 constant communication with them I hope leads 9 to that result. 10 One final thing I just want to bring 11 up because I believe Miss August was talking 12 about it in her remarks to Council. I thank 13 you for coming and talking about this. I've 14 been talking about our homeless population, our 15 unhoused population and the services that we 16 should be providing them. 17 For a long time since I started on 18 this Council, I'm also a person in recovery. 19 The company that I have employs a great number 20 of certified recovery specialists. I'm in that 21 field as well in my day job. I've been talking 22 a lot about providing some resources to meet 23 individuals where they're at, as many touch 24 points as we could possibly have to meet with 25 someone to get them the help they need in any  72 1 position when they're willing and ready to do 2 that. 3 The more touch points the better. 4 My suggestions were around the code blue 5 shelters to have individuals in there to 6 provide resources. I'm in discussions now with 7 some individuals around that. But I just want 8 you to know that these conversations at least 9 from our body are happening. We're committed 10 to try to make a difference for every resident 11 of Scranton. 12 And I will not stop that fight. So 13 I just wanted to reiterate that and talk about 14 that a little bit. But that's all I have. 15 Thank you. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I do have 17 a few comments. First, Mr. Voldenberg, looking 18 at Engine 10, it was included in the capital 19 budget that there would be a study on Engine 20 10, possible replacement or upgrades there. 21 Can we ask the administration for an update on 22 where we're at with the study? 23 I believe we may have applied for a 24 grant. Have we applied for that grant, has 25 that been awarded or is it still pending and  73 1 just get an overall general update on this 2 study for Engine 10. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. When it 5 comes to the Meadow Brook Project, I got a 6 couple concerns from individuals asking for 7 updates on that because it's been quite some 8 time since we spoke about it. 9 We did speak to the administration. 10 And they did say that the state is starting to 11 push the city to move forward with this 12 project. So at this point in time, slightly 13 half of the easements have been attained. 14 But the one thing to keep in mind is 15 no work will begin until all the easements have 16 been obtained. So it's something for those 17 residents to keep in mind, speak with the city, 18 reach out to the coordinator. But the work -- 19 boots are not going to be hitting the ground 20 until all of those easements are attained. 21 I asked quite a while ago about 915 22 Euclid Avenue. It's a house that's in 23 disrepair over on Euclid Avenue in Tripp Park. 24 And I was told yesterday that the house has 25 been condemned. So that's an update on 915  74 1 Euclid Avenue. The home was condemned. 2 We did get several things in Fourth 3 Order. Miss Hodowanitz brought up about 100 4 year old water mains. In our conversations 5 with the water company, can we ask do they know 6 the locations of all of our water mains that 7 are older, especially over 100 years old, but 8 older water mains and what their plan is for 9 updating those mains? 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out for 11 that list, sir. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 13 There was a piece of legislation that was 14 passed regarding SAPA and that there was also a 15 conversation that was had with the 16 administration about adding data centers into 17 SAPA. 18 And they said that eventually it 19 would be added into the SAPA plan. But that's 20 going to be sometime down the road and probably 21 some action will take place before that occurs. 22 So I just wanted to give you an update on that. 23 And that is all I have for this evening. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

On 8 the question, Mr. Gilbride, it was brought up 9 about the dates. And the Civil Service 10 Commission does coincide with the term of the 11 Mayor. It is a good point to bring up. It's 12 something that we could explore as we move to 13 Seventh Order? 14 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, Mr. 15 President, when Mr. Coyne brought it up, it 16 appears that the reorganization that will be 17 January 1st as it was two years ago, which will 18 be the end of the Mayor's terms at that point. 19 So it would either need to reflect the end of 20 the Mayor's term or that date. 21 MR.

FOR 11 CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY 12 DEVELOPMENT - FOR ADOPTION - RESOLUTION NO. 13, 13 2026 - RESOLUTION FOR PLAN REVISION FOR NEW 14 LAND DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 448 W MARKET ST. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: What is the 16 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 17 Committee on Community Development? 18 MR. MCANDREW: As Chairperson for 19 the Committee on Community Development, I 20 recommend final passage of Item 7-B. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Second. Oh, I'm 22 sorry. 23 MR. FLYNN: Second. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question? On 25 the question, I have a few things. I got a  80 1 little confused there because I had notes in my 2 agenda here and my notes disappeared 3 midmeeting. 4 This property here -- right now 5 Council is just approving the application to 6 DEP for their sewer lines. So this is just 7 putting it out to the Department of 8 Environmental Protection. 9 What occurred at the Planning 10 Commission was, that the Planning Commission 11 approved this contingent upon the approval of 12 their DEP sewer application. I will say this 13 here is a good reason why we need to look at 14 our zoning ordinance in that area. 15 This was originally a ten unit 16 apartment that was going to have ten parking 17 spots. And the 2023 ordinance has one spot per 18 unit. It's now been decreased to a six unit 19 with six parking spaces. 20 If we had the old ordinance where it 21 was 1.5 spaces per unit, we would alleviate a 22 lot of the congestion problems that may occur 23 here on West Market Street. 24 So just a reason why we should be 25 looking back at those ordinances and making  81 1 those updates. Anyone else on the question? 2 Roll call, please. 3 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 4 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 5 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew. 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. 7 MS.
