Before we 18 get started with our regular meeting tonight, 19 we are going to have a proclamation for Miss 20 Ann Marie Regan if the family would like to 21 come up to the front in front of the dais and 22 we'll read that proclamation. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: WHEREAS, the COUNCIL 24 OF THE CITY OF SCRANTON is desirous of honoring 25 ANNE MARIE E. REGAN, a local trailblazer in  4 1 women's politics here in Scranton and within 2 Lackawanna County and; 3 WHEREAS, Anne Marie was one of seven 4 children born to the late Frank and Claire 5 MacDonald Regan and; 6 WHEREAS, Anne Marie was a lifelong 7 resident of the Bellevue section of Scranton 8 and a member of Holy Cross and St. Patrick's 9 Parish and; 10 WHEREAS, Anne Marie graduated from 11 West Scranton High School in 1949 and attended 12 Lackawanna Junior College while working as a 13 switchboard operator at Scranton Dry Goods and; 14 WHEREAS, Anne Marie started as a receptionist, 15 then an auditor in the City Controller's office 16 under the administrations of the late Mayors 17 Hanlon, Schmidt, Walsh and Peters and; 18 WHEREAS, Anne Marie served as a 19 member of the Scranton City Democratic 20 Committee and in 1972 was elected to the 21 Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee and; 22 WHEREAS, Anne Marie was the first 23 woman elected to a Lackawanna County row office 24 and was re-elected six times, serving as 25 Recorder of Deeds from 1974 to 1998 until her  5 1 retirement and; 2 WHEREAS, along with her 40+ years of 3 public service to the city and county, Anne 4 Marie celebrated her Irish Catholic heritage 5 with both her immediate and extended family 6 through the years. 7 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that 8 on TUESDAY, April 28, 2026, Scranton City 9 Council wishes to honor Anne Marie Regan for 10 achieving a “first” in local politics and 11 paving the way for future generations. Thank 12 you. 13 MR. REGAN: President Schuster, Vice 14 President Flynn, Dr. Rothchild, and two 15 McAndrews and, Sean, are you guys brothers? 16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: No. 17 MR. REGAN: Well, I do want to say 18 thank you to all of you individually and 19 collectively for this wonderful presentation on 20 behalf of my sister. 21 I'd like you to know something else 22 about Ann Marie that you wouldn't normally 23 know. She was one of the most compassionate 24 people you would ever meet. You see, in my 25 dad's mid70s he began to lose his sight. By  6 1 his mid80s he was legally blind. He also 2 started to lose his hearing. 3 Ann Marie took care of him at home 4 24/7, 365, got him up in the morning, got him 5 washed, dressed, fix his breakfast, fixed his 6 lunch before she left herself, came home at 7 night, fixed his dinner, got him back in bed 8 again. And she did that for six years. 9 There's not many people who would do 10 that today. It's easier to put the older 11 folks like me in a facility. But she wouldn't 12 do it. She wouldn't think of it. So Ann Marie 13 never married. But this is a small part of her 14 family. She had 24 nieces and nephews. 15 And she treated every one of them 16 like they were her own children. She was 17 there for their births, there for their 18 confirmations and there for their high school 19 graduations, college graduations, their 20 weddings and on and on and on. 21 They were always remembered. And 22 all of these partial family members can testify 23 that she was just one terrific aunt. She was 24 not known as Ann Marie. She was ReRe all her 25 life, Aunt ReRe.  7 1 So again, thank you so very much. I 2 will treasure this. And this will be posted. 3 I live in a continuing care facility. But I 4 live independently. I have an apartment. And 5 this is going to be framed and go on a wall 6 outside of my apartment for all of my friends 7 and neighbors to see. Thank you so very much. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Please dispense with 9 the reading of the minutes. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER. 11 3-A. LACKAWANNA COUNTY PLANNING 12 COMMISSION SUBDIVISION AND LAND DEVELOPMENT 13 EVALUATION REPORTS RECEIVED APRIL 20TH, 2026. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Are there any 15 comments on Third Order items? If not, 16 received and filed. Do any Council members 17 have any announcements at this time? 18 All right. No announcements at this 19 time. We'll go right into Fourth Order. Our 20 first speaker is Joan Hodowanitz. 21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 22 Scranton. Let me just preface my remarks by a 23 message to Mayor Cognetti. I don't know if 24 she's in town today, but if she is, she should 25 have been up here. When a resident of the city  8 1 is recognized by a proclamation, she should be 2 up here as the Mayor. 3 A few weeks ago, when we had a 4 police officer recognized for saving a life, 5 she wasn't up here, just -- just my personal 6 observation. And, you know, she wants a future 7 in politics, maybe she ought to think about her 8 priorities. 9 Okay, Saturday, there was an 10 interesting article in the paper Amendolaro 11 Boutique moving to new location in Scranton. 12 The boutique is currently on Spruce Street, 13 also known as Biden Street, moving to the 500 14 block of Wyoming. 15 And it's interesting to see why he 16 is moving. The big thing is parking, he said. 17 It's actually getting worse. And it goes on. 18 He believes the parking situation worsened 19 after the switch from meters to kiosks. 20 ]Quote, the kiosks, number one, 21 never work. Residents and people who work 22 downtown park their cars and use the Pango app 23 all day. The meters told people where to park. 24 When they took those out, now it's just a free 25 for all. In front of my stores, if people park  9 1 out of sync, you're losing two spots. It goes 2 on. 3 The customers who come on the daily 4 are driving and they have nowhere to park 5 because I see the same cars on the street. The 6 residents who live downtown come home from work 7 at 5:30 on Friday, park the car on the street, 8 and it sits there until Monday when they go 9 back to work. 10 I had a customer this Saturday say 11 she had to drive around the block four times 12 and ended up parking down on Penn and walking. 13 When City Council had that idea of paying for 14 parking on Saturdays, part of me wanted it to 15 go through because you would get those people 16 off the streets. 17 You can always find a parking spot 18 on that block on Wyoming, the 500 block. 19 That's where he's moving to. And if people 20 don't want to pay to park, there is free 21 parking on the block before it. 22 Tom Grudis, who owns the optical 23 shop is leaving in a couple weeks. And then 24 you're going to have three vacant storefronts 25 right in a row. I don't want to see the  10 1 downtown be vacant. But I've expressed my 2 concerns for parking, and they did nothing 3 about it. 4 Well, okay, he's got some issues and 5 some good points. I don't drive anymore, 6 haven't driven since 2012. So I don't have 7 that kind of skin in the game as a downtown 8 resident. But have you noticed that they're 9 digging up almost every downtown street and the 10 potholes abound everywhere? So it's not just 11 a matter of parking. 12 I mean, you take your life in your 13 hands just to drive downtown right now. But my 14 big issue is, I would like to see more business 15 owners in the downtown area, more workers and 16 more residents come to a forum like this and 17 express their concerns and their suggestions 18 about how to improve the situation. 19 You got to keep in mind that people 20 work downtown, people who own businesses, and 21 a lot of the downtown residents pay taxes to 22 the city of Scranton. And their issues should 23 be heard and they should be given the 24 consideration they're due. 25 I mean, if not, why are they  11 1 bothering to pay taxes? So I just wish you 2 would sometimes think about that. And just so 3 you haven't forgotten, I'm still waiting for 4 the Commissioners to give me the list of people 5 whose residents were finally put on the tax 6 rolls so that I can create my wall of shame for 7 those people. Thank you. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is 9 Mike Mancini. 10 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council 11 President Schuster. Good evening, Council, 12 residents of Scranton. Tonight, part eight of 13 my series, the state of Scranton. You said 14 nothing. 15 I chose this topic for tonight 16 simply because when ignored and those like me 17 also ignored with legitimate questions and 18 concerns, it's not a good look. The safety of 19 our city is nonnegotiable. 20 Over the years, I have brought up 21 many concerns like changing the police testing 22 system, which caused the shortage of amazing 23 officers and the structural change of the whole 24 department. 25 A very personal topic to me fell on  12 1 deaf ears, opioid-related deaths without 2 justice. Only 2 percent get closure like I did 3 for the passing of my only child, an active 4 United States Marine. 5 While Council focuses on unregulated 6 synthetics, my focus remains on unwanted 7 deaths. My closure will be to correct this 8 tragedy issue locally. There have been zero 9 prosecutions made by our Scranton Police 10 Department for opioid-related deaths since the 11 arrival of this administration. 12 Just over two years ago there were 13 arrests made involving two individuals and over 14 a pound of fentanyl right in front of a 15 magistrate's office in West Scranton. There 16 was also a pill press found in our city and a 17 chopper overhead today. 18 The change in the structure of the 19 police department without a study or 20 consultation with Council or police testing 21 causing a shortage, has our residents noticing 22 the difference. Serious police activity is 23 more than just an uptick. 24 These calls are not just isolated 25 incidents. Our residents notice, continue to  13 1 lose good neighbors because we're starting to 2 lose neighborhoods to gangs, drugs, and 3 unlawful weapons. Other than using these words 4 uptick and isolated incidents, Paige Cognetti, 5 you chose to say nothing. 6 Being in denial does not fix the 7 safety issues and concerns of our residents. 8 There's crime in Scranton and it will continue 9 to get worse unless Council acts. Allow me to 10 now to address the other major concern, our 11 roads and infrastructure. 12 It seems the progress is starting to 13 deliver some results with pave cuts and 14 potholes. First, the pave cuts, our 15 neighborhoods never should have been left in 16 poor condition throughout the winter. 17 Fines should have been levied for 18 each cut on every block impacted. Instead, the 19 administration used the excuse no teeth 20 ordinance as the reason for the poor 21 conditions, the same ordinance that collected 22 millions of dollars in the past. 23 I blame the massive number of 24 potholes of the ninth DPW Director of the 25 administration for hiring a complete failure.  14 1 Instead of allowing the DPW employees to use 2 their experience and talent, he continuously 3 makes costly mistakes. 4 He is clueless and needs to resign. 5 Costly damages to vehicles and Paige Cognetti 6 said nothing. As a Council majority, you can 7 demand answers. You also have subpoena powers. 8 Use the first on the IT Director. 9 Hearing Council member Mark McAndrew 10 last week talking about social media posts made 11 by the IT Director during business hours is 12 alarming. Directing it at a sitting Council 13 member goes beyond good taste and reason both. 14 Use one of your elected powers and 15 make him accountable for his actions. I would 16 like to also recommend that you use subpoena 17 powers for his emails. From what I understand, 18 he's working on other business websites while 19 sitting in this very building. He needs to 20 resign. 21 I can understand the majority 22 Council of the past frustrated over the issues 23 and concerns that I spoke about tonight. I can 24 understand the unwillingness by the -- by the 25 administration to address your issues. I know  15 1 how you feel. You don't address my concerns. 2 This is a new majority. It needs to 3 become focused on the same concerns that I and 4 others address weekly, discussions and next 5 steps will either help or hinder our residents, 6 choose to become better than councils in the 7 past because we deserve and need the best 8 today, either engage or become part of the 9 problem. 10 Next week, part nine, how to correct 11 these many concerns. Good evening, Council and 12 the good residents of Scranton. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is 14 Lee Morgan. 15 MR. MORGAN: Good evening Council, 16 Lee Morgan, just for the benefit of the 17 residents, today, I gave the City Council and 18 Mayor a request. On March 6th, I asked the 19 City Council to craft legislation on behalf of 20 the -- of the citizens of Scranton and for the 21 benefit of the public trust. 22 The first of these requests was to 23 fund a feral cat program enhancing the present 24 one located at Nay Aug Park because the city is 25 being overrun by feral and abandoned cats. I  16 1 also requested the city to return the public 2 component of ECTV to make it a complete 3 government and educational channel. 4 The third matter I brought to the 5 attention of City Council was to petition the 6 PUC to lower water and sewer rates in the city. 7 I am looking for written answers to my 8 questions from the council and mayor under my 9 First Amendment right to petition my 10 government. 11 I will wait for 30 days for a 12 response. And then I gave you my address. But 13 I'm going to -- I'm going to do a couple more 14 requests. But, you know, speakers come up here 15 and talk, and I appreciate what everybody says 16 here. 17 But really, the Council hasn't 18 represented this city very well in the whole 40 19 years I've been here coming to these council 20 meetings. It's not a personal shot on people. 21 You know, when you get elected to government 22 office, you have to have a plan. 23 You have to know what you want to 24 accomplish. We don't elect people anywhere to 25 oppose one group or another because the people  17 1 you're supposed to represent are the residents. 2 And for the city streets to look the 3 way they do and for the decay of the 4 neighborhoods, there's just no excuse for it, 5 wasting a grant money. But you know the most 6 troubling thing of it all is an unwillingness 7 to pick up an ink pen and try to make a change 8 in the legislature to help the residents. 9 Nonprofits were never designed to 10 take over a city. And that's exactly what's 11 happening here. This city is being consumed by 12 numerous nonprofits. The law was never created 13 to push a burden like that on residents. And 14 it's beyond out of control. And the couple 15 dollars that they give us doesn't equal 16 anything, nothing. 17 So all you do is you force the 18 residents into utter poverty. There's just no 19 excuse for it. There's no excuse for a lot of 20 things, no excuse for no answers for 21 homelessness, storms, you know, no -- just no 22 enhancement to anything. 23 Flooding in this city for 100 years, 24 bridges under -- with under 14 foot of 25 clearance under them anywhere in the city, I  18 1 mean, it's just there's no investment in the 2 city. It's like a political fun fest. 3 I mean, getting elected, cheering 4 everybody on and talking politics, there has to 5 be a time when politics ends. The state 6 representatives and the state senators aren't 7 doing any better. 8 And the country is disintegrating. 9 We have people in Ivy League colleges that 10 can't read or write. We have school boards 11 that aren't functioning. We have decay across 12 our whole country. 13 And then we have a president like 14 Joe Biden who gets elected, who doesn't know 15 who he is. And the political system knew it. 16 The Democratic Party knew that he wasn't with 17 it. They knew it. He said right on the news 18 that he created -- his party and himself had 19 created the best voter fraud organization in 20 the history of the country, and it was true. 21 You know, in the future, they're 22 going to write the history of this country. I 23 don't know what's going to be left because 24 bringing people from the third world here, of 25 course, they think they're in paradise.  19 1 But that's because in the countries 2 they come from, they have no rights. They're 3 like animals there. And we're losing our 4 rights here. And Europe is in a major decline. 5 So when we look to our elected government, 6 we're locked out of it. You're locked out of 7 City Hall. 8 I tried to give this to the Council, 9 and to the Mayor, got no response on the phone, 10 none. People can't conduct business here. 11 They're locked out of their own halls of power. 12 The people they elect them -- that are electing 13 them, don't want to hear them. 14 There's been no real change in this 15 city. Look at it. There's not a shopping 16 center in downtown Scranton where people can 17 buy groceries. The roads are a mess. I 18 appreciate people come here and talk about how 19 they've saw some improvement. I haven't seen 20 any. I think they're much worse. 21 And I don't think you want to answer 22 my questions. And I don't expect an answer, 23 but that just goes to prove how hollow you are 24 with the lack of ability. Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is  20 1 Les Spindler. 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, 3 I know -- I believe I saw on the budget -- in 4 the budget meeting the other day that the 5 Street Cats do get funding from the city. Can 6 we confirm that? And if so, what -- what does 7 it go to? 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 9 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thanks. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: So I'll just chime in 11 there. So Animal Control, when it came to 12 Animal Control, we -- Council raised the line 13 item $58,000 from '25 to '26. And then Streets 14 Cats and Dogs has an increase in $5,000 from 15 '25 to '26. So they've been given an increase 16 of 5,000. 17 But if we could get that update on 18 Street Cats and Dogs, how they're doing in the 19 building on Ash Street if they're still using 20 that and what the capacity is. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get an update, 22 Sir. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 24 Spindler, sorry. 25 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,  21 1 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 2 homeowner. President Schuster, last week, you 3 spoke about Emiliani Trucking on Dorothy 4 Street. A couple days before that -- well, I 5 ran out of time last week. I was going to 6 speak about them. 7 Walking my dog I bumped into Mr. 8 Emiliani, the owner, asked him if he knew what 9 was going on on the bottom Euclid. He thought 10 they were just putting the decorative wall up 11 with a sign. So I told him everything they're 12 doing. 13 He said, I don't know how our trucks 14 are going to make it. He said we can't turn 15 onto Farr Street. Have you seen what they did? 16 There's no way trucks are going to make the 17 turn to go up Euclid. They didn't talk to 18 anyone. They didn't talk to Emilianis. 19 There's no -- my -- I have a Toyota 20 Corolla. I'm barely able to fit around where 21 the turn is. There's no way a fire truck is 22 going to fit up there. An 18 wheeler won't be 23 able to fit up there. 24 And Dorothy Street is the only 25 street that trucks are supposed to go up and  22 1 down because the other ones are narrow and the 2 wires are low. They didn't discuss -- whoever 3 managed this -- was in charge of it, they don't 4 know what they're doing. I mean, it's 5 ridiculous. 6 They didn't talk to anybody that 7 it's going to affect. I mean, my five-year-old 8 granddaughter could have designed that project 9 better than whoever did it. Like I said, my 10 little small car barely makes that turn. 11 You people should go over and look 12 at that. No way an 18 wheeler is going to make 13 that turn to go up Dorothy. No -- and the fire 14 trucks, again. Fire Chief Judge was here 15 awhile ago and said every second counts in a 16 fire and people are still coming down the wrong 17 way. Friday, I was up by the corner of Dorothy 18 and Sumner at the stop sign. 19 And I looked down to where they're 20 doing that project and an ambulance went out 21 the wrong way, an ambulance. Maybe it was an 22 emergency. Ambulances should be able to come 23 and go as they please. You know, they probably 24 didn't want to go around and detour because 25 every second counts. The project is  23 1 ridiculous, I mean, just totally ridiculous. 2 Next thing, my favorite subject, the 3 Green Ridge Street Bridge Project. They 4 weren't there Friday. It was a beautiful day. 5 I didn't drive there yesterday. Today, they 6 were there for a couple hours in the morning. 7 That was it. A few weeks ago about three in 8 the afternoon, I was sitting in traffic on the 9 bridge. 10 Traffic was backed up in both 11 directions, couldn't move. If an emergency 12 vehicle had to come through, they weren't 13 getting through. I talked about this before. 14 It's ridiculous. It's a safety issue. These 15 people should be there every day getting that 16 project done. 17 It's unbelievable. They come and 18 work when they please, I guess. I don't know 19 what's going on. They should be there every 20 single day till that project is done. 21 I see where the kratom legislation 22 is in Eighth Order now. I don't know why you 23 people are even negotiating with the Mayor. 24 She against everything that everybody else 25 wants.  24 1 She's screwing the police. And I 2 don't know why, you should just vote on it the 3 way you wrote it up and get it over with 4 because she -- she wants everything done her 5 way. And you shouldn't negotiate with her. 6 Next thing, the data centers, you 7 know, I don't know a lot about them. But to 8 me, it's jobs. It's progress. Nobody wants 9 anything in their backyard, no progress. I 10 think I brought this up before. 11 In Virginia, in one county they have 12 200 of them in one county. And people are 13 complaining here about a few of them in our 14 county. And that's why our area is so 15 depressed here. Nobody wants anything in this 16 backyard. 17 All the kids, they go away to 18 college and they never come back. And one of 19 my daughters is an example. She graduated from 20 Pitt 10 years ago. She's now -- she's still in 21 Pittsburgh raising her family there. I would 22 love to have her here. 23 I have two grandchildren in 24 Pittsburgh. I only see them once or twice a 25 year. There's nothing for young -- young  25 1 people to do here. There's no family 2 sustaining jobs that want to come here because 3 they know how it is here. It's -- nobody wants 4 anything done. 5 I mean, 200 data centers in one 6 county in Virginia. And we don't want a couple 7 of them here. They must be doing something 8 right there. And I know months ago on the 9 news, there was a story that a bunch of people 10 from here went down to that county and got all 11 the information. 12 So I don't know what came of it. 13 But I don't know how they could have 200 there 14 and everything is fine with the electric and 15 the water. Everybody's against it here. Thank 16 you for your time. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 18 anyone else like to address Council? 19 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, 20 Council, Rik Little. We're coming up on the 21 250th anniversary of the United States of 22 America on July 4th when the Declaration of 23 Independence was written. 24 And -- and that is the first law of 25 America. We hold these truths to be self  26 1 evident that all men are created equal that 2 they're endowed by their Creator with certain 3 unalienable rights, that are among these rights 4 are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. 5 And yet, certain parts of that 6 government we established with the Declaration 7 and the US Constitution have been under assault 8 since the very beginning. And looking back on 9 it, they've been under assault by the very 10 people that we were fighting against, people 11 that were taxing us, people were taking our 12 guns away, the British. 13 And we can see it now, institutions, 14 in Scranton, they try to hide these -- these 15 institutions. I remember going through hell 16 over there at the courthouse just trying to 17 watch the judicial process just to see how it 18 works. 19 And they -- they have set up a 20 government within a government in the judiciary 21 where there's just nowhere to go. I mean, you 22 have to get a lawyer. You have to -- you have 23 to pay this fee, that fee. And it goes on 24 forever. 25 I saw a very disturbing thing on the  27 1 internet, the Judiciary Committee meeting for 2 the State of Pennsylvania, and, you know, 3 they're voting on things. And the people are 4 asking, you know, what's the name of this bill, 5 you know, because they know all they have to do 6 is get the person in the room to say yes or not 7 say anything, and it becomes law. 8 Our country was overrun with people 9 hell bent on destroying this country when Biden 10 opened the borders. That election is 11 completely, I mean, I've seen enough evidence 12 that, no, Biden was not elected. 13 It really started with Obama -- 14 started with Obama in 2012 with the NDAA, which 15 thing -- which made it so news media can't be 16 sued. But they have it that way with medicine. 17 All the great things that Robert F. Kennedy 18 did, there's -- there's no immune -- there's 19 still immunity from prosecution for things like 20 Monsanto poisons. 21 And when I see the City Council, you 22 know, stepping up to the health and safety 23 thing with the kratom thing, it really bothers 24 me because I just read the caveat of it, you 25 know, about all these, you know, you got  28 1 kratom, which is a natural leaf from a tree 2 that, you know, our soldiers in Vietnam chewed 3 to stay awake on the jungle trail. 4 But in the big picture, the forces 5 to be, the globalist forces to be, are here to 6 still spraying the aluminum and barium and all 7 kinds of stuff from the sky. And it's cancer 8 this time. That's what the new Covid is, is 9 cancer. And I saw the Mayor. I saw this 10 little flyer announcing the Mayor spoke at the 11 school there. 12 And the schools are just one of the 13 problems. The judiciary is a problem. The Bar 14 Association is now a problem. But elections 15 are the problem. And, you know, I read in the 16 paper that Bill Gaughan is the head of the 17 Election Committee, you know. And before that, 18 it was the lawyer Frederickson who ran the 19 Election Committee. 20 And everything is geared around 21 democracy. But it's not real democracy. There 22 has -- if the mayor spent $5 million on police 23 stuff, they should get a robot. They should 24 get a robot who's programmed with all the laws 25 so there's one place, not everybody's phone,  29 1 not -- not the websites, not the Google, a 2 robot who's going to tell you what the law is 3 and make things clearer for the people that 4 would take care of the judiciary and the media 5 in one shot. Thank you. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 7 anyone else like to address Council? 8 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council, 9 Tom Coyne, Minooka. First, I have a request 10 for an update on the replacement street signs 11 at Schlager and Sumner streets. And hopefully 12 we can get a spring update for Miss Jeffries on 13 the rollout of the signed program for this 14 year. 15 Going back to prior sessions, Weston 16 Field, you may not remember, but I do. You 17 asked multiple times if it could be locked 18 after the shooting that happened at the 19 basketball court and it went out to the street 20 in front of Weston Field. 21 The Mayor responded that that could 22 not be locked because ambulances needed access 23 to it. You talked about bolt cutters or master 24 keys. And you were told by the Mayor, we can't 25 lock Weston Field because the gate needs to be  30 1 open for ambulances, evidently 24/7 even when 2 the facility is closed because ambulances 3 evidently have no way to get into locked 4 buildings. 5 Why was the homeless and other poor 6 funding last year never spent for what it was 7 allocated for? Has the homeless issue been 8 solved? Are they all housed? Are they all 9 taken care of? Obviously, if there was money 10 in the budget last year that wasn't spent and 11 we've had so many Unsheltered Task Force 12 meetings, it must mean that revenue wasn't 13 needed, that every homeless person out there 14 has had all of their needs taken care of. 15 It's either that or money that was 16 allocated for that just wasn't important enough 17 to be actually looked at and distributed 18 because that was too much of a difficulty for 19 the person who runs the Unsheltered Task Force 20 to take care of the homeless and the hungry in 21 our own community. 22 I guess this week, there's probably 23 still no news on the Gerrity gift cards. I 24 know we had one in the news for the handout 25 during the Mayor's campaign that hit the Times.  31 1 But I haven't heard anything about I believe it 2 was 100 others that were allocated or somewhere 3 in that neck of the woods. 4 Onto the data centers, it's in 5 Eighth Order, but we need to get something on 6 the book, anything into the book even if it's a 7 shell. And then as long as it's not on the 8 books, anything, they have free rein to put it 9 anywhere. 10 Toss a shell on there that says 11 data centers are only allowed by special 12 exception and then go ahead and refine it. But 13 at least get it on the books beforehand because 14 if it's not -- if there is nothing on the books 15 beforehand, it's open for everywhere and you 16 don't want to try and legislate this after the 17 gateway where they already had their foot in 18 because once they have your foot in and you're 19 still thinking about it, you've already lost. 20 So at least please put something 21 simple on the books saying it's by special 22 exception. Then refine it because at least 23 that way the city has protections going forward 24 to actually evaluate it. 25 Moving on, I sent you an e-mail on  32 1 the 300 block of Cedar Avenue. Has there been 2 an area traffic study for that area? I see the 3 Section 2 map on it shows the block directly 4 where the building is. It doesn't show you the 5 area. It shows one block. 6 When we put in a stop sign 7 someplace, we have to have some massive study 8 to put in a stop sign or yield sign or a light. 9 Has there been an equivalent study done impact 10 for that neighborhood itself? The church on 11 Davis Street, the zone has been approved. And 12 I guess last Council for new crosswalk 13 equipment and safety lights to be put in that 14 very section. 15 How has that been addressed with the 16 3 -- in the 3100 Cedar Avenue study? Since we 17 have one project already paid for, legislated 18 and on the books for that area, has that been 19 meshed together with what's happening with the 20 3100 coming before us? 21 And again, some of the images I sent 22 to you, you see obstructed views where you 23 cannot see to make turns in that area if you 24 are pushed in one direction. You have large 25 hills that become ice sheets in the winter  33 1 where going down them is extremely hazardous 2 and you are moving off of the wider street and 3 pushing traffic intentionally into smaller 4 streets that have been cut down even beyond the 5 street that they are existing. 6 Change it to no parking on one side. 7 That's the reasonable way to go. Thank you and 8 good night. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 11 MOTIONS. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 13 have any motions or comments? 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. I just 15 have a couple. First off, just wanted to give 16 an update on a property that I had brought up 17 last week that a resident was asking about 18 whether or not it was on the demolition list. 19 This was 1610 Roselynn Street. 20 I did receive confirmation that this 21 property is currently included on the 22 demolition list. But it's priority score range 23 below that of other more pressing properties 24 and the prioritization helps ensure that 25 available funding is allocated in alignment  34 1 with the highest need demolition cases. And at 2 this time the coordinators continue to 3 investigate the property for potential 4 inclusion in the next round of demo projects. 5 And I also received someone who 6 contacted me about downed wires at 135 South 7 Cameron Avenue. They did first contact PP & L. 8 They said it wasn't theres. Then they were 9 talking to Xfinity. They said they weren't 10 there for them. 11 So they're just trying to find out 12 whose wires they belong to and how they could 13 get them taken care of. They're concerned 14 about, you know, children in the neighborhood 15 potentially being able to reach them. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 17 it, Dr. Rothchild. 18 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And 19 that's all that I have. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 21 Mr. Sean McAndrew, do you have any motions or 22 comments? 23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 24 few. So some updates regarding some response 25 that I received from my questions from last  35 1 week. The last two weeks I've been asking 2 regarding the city having a dedicated ambulance 3 service. 4 I know there was some concerns the 5 Mayor said to Councilman Schuster and Attorney 6 Gilbride in a meeting. I asked for those 7 concerns to be put in writing. I received the 8 response that the Chair and the Cochair of the 9 Public Safety Committee could meet with Chief 10 Judge to be educated on the matter. 11 So then I followed up asking, well, 12 I'm neither the Chair or the Cochair, so can I 13 please meet with him and have it recorded so we 14 have an official statement from the city? The 15 response I got was, we have requested an update 16 from Finch and Associates regarding ambulances 17 services in the city. 18 I believe Finch and Associates is a 19 company that they are using as an consultant 20 the last few years regarding ambulance 21 services. So it looks like, you know, I asked 22 for -- I asked for their concerns in writing. 23 I can't get it. They offered other Council 24 members to meet with Chief Judge. 25 But when I ask, it just gets  36 1 ignored. I can't even get an answer. It's 2 like getting to the point where you really 3 can't make this stuff up. But I was doing some 4 research. In October, 2024, in an article 5 Chief Judge said from an emergency management 6 perspective, if you called me at any given time 7 and asked me how many ambulances are currently 8 on duty in the time city, I couldn't tell you. 9 The Lackawanna County 911 Center 10 couldn't tell you. And under the city's 11 charter, it's our responsibility to provide EMS 12 services to our residents. Now, let's let that 13 sink in. Seven years under this Mayor Cognetti 14 administration, they've known they have been 15 violating the Charter and it hasn't been 16 addressed. 17 We are a city that cannot definitely 18 say how many ambulances are on duty at any 19 given time, yet we are responsible for 20 providing the service to our residents. That 21 alone should be enough to demand immediate 22 action. Other municipalities have dedicated 23 ambulance services. Scranton does not. 24 Instead, the administration 25 continues to ignore my request to put their  37 1 concerns in writing or discuss openly and 2 transparently. I am frankly shocked that after 3 commissioning a study and having years of 4 discussion -- because this has been brought up 5 by previous councils, the city still does not 6 have a defined path forward, no timeline, no 7 plan, just more ignoring questions and delays. 8 It's not a complicated task. It's 9 about accountability, transparency and making 10 sure when somebody calls 911, help is there. 11 Scranton residents deserve better. Now, we 12 have a company who is doing the services now. 13 All they're asking for from when they came to 14 caucus a few years ago is to have a written 15 agreement at zero cost to us. 16 My understanding, there will more 17 ambulances on the road dedicated just staying 18 in Scranton. Why is that something we would 19 not entertain right now? I understand maybe 20 the bigger plan is to have our fire department 21 do it. But until then, we have to have 22 something better. 23 Having our fire department doing it 24 is going to cost a ton of money and it's going 25 to take a lot of time. So the fact that we  38 1 can't even get answers on something that's 2 free, like, if we had a contract and they 3 weren't telling us and we couldn't answer that 4 question how many ambulances in service were on 5 the road, then we could call them in and hold 6 them accountable. 7 You know, if the service wasn't 8 great, we could hold them accountable. We have 9 nothing to do that. And it's really shocking 10 to me. So I'm going ask again if I would have 11 a meeting with Chief Judge. But also, if they 12 don't want to answer me in writing, they don't 13 want to have a meeting with just me, let's call 14 the Mayor and let's call the Fire Chief Judge 15 into a caucus to address the concerns. If you 16 could send that down, Frank? 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out, 18 sir. 19 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. Thank 20 you. So we had a finance meeting yesterday, 21 myself and Councilwoman Rothchild went. It was 22 a very good meeting getting an update on how 23 the budget is performing right now. We are 24 going to be getting an update hopefully by the 25 end of May and the beginning of June regarding  39 1 PEL's five year projections for the city. 2 I know there was a state of the city 3 address that was, you know, done last week and, 4 you know, was pretty positive. But my concern 5 is, there is some things that aren't being 6 said. We have an LST Tax issue, which right 7 now if the state doesn't change some wording, 8 we're going to be short around 3 million 9 dollars. 10 How are we going to cover that cost? 11 The next question would be regarding the 12 finances, the PEL's five year projection, it's 13 not done yet. But when I asked if there a 14 projection or how is it looking, they are 15 saying obviously our expenses are outperforming 16 our revenue. 17 So there will be shortfalls. That 18 is not being said. That is not being 19 addressed. But I do think we start -- we need 20 to have those hard questions with the city and 21 the finance department sooner than later. So 22 hopefully when June comes and we get that five 23 year projection, not only can we call PEL in 24 and the administration to discuss that, but 25 also to start discussing the budget a little  40 1 bit more openly for 2027 so we're not shocked 2 when November -- the second week of November 3 comes and there is possibly tax increases. 4 I have some residents concerns, 5 Frank, if you could pass down we have 108 South 6 Main Avenue, there's a shop there that is 7 selling -- I don't know what they are actually 8 selling there; but a lot of the items are on 9 the streets -- on the street and on the steps 10 of the building. 11 So I'm not sure if that's a safety 12 hazard when people walk by or are walking into 13 the shop. So could we have code enforcement 14 check that out? 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And then there's 17 a house -- and I'll give you the actual address 18 because I think other Council members are going 19 to bring this up too, a house on 1100 block of 20 St. Ann Street if we could have code 21 enforcement go over to. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 23 it, sir. 24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And 25 that is all I have. Thank you.  41 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 2 When we're looking future caucuses or summer 3 caucuses, Frank, if we could just tentatively 4 schedule PEL in for sometime in June, maybe 5 towards the end of June so once that projection 6 is up we could have them in to speak to. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 8 Schuster. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 10 Mr. Mark McAndrew, do you have any motions or 11 comments? 12 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, just a couple. 13 So, you know, I'd like to accept the gracious 14 invitation by Chief Judge regarding ambulance 15 services. And if I do, I'll take you with me, 16 Councilman McAndrew. 17 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thanks. 18 MR. MCANDREW: But I think it would 19 be a better idea like you mentioned, let's have 20 a caucus. They've been here hashing out the 21 whys, hows, and the pros and cons of having 22 ambulance services in the past. So, you know, 23 things have changed. It's been a couple years. 24 I'd rather have that discussion 25 openly in a caucus form so all of you are  42 1 informed as the concerns they might, yay or nay 2 for it instead of just meeting with one, two, 3 or three Council persons. 4 I think, you know, for transparency 5 sake, we all work for you guys, even the Fire 6 Chief and, you know, so I would much rather -- 7 you could tell him thank you for his gracious 8 invitation. But I think it would be more 9 fitting and we have -- we seem to have a pretty 10 much open caucus calendar coming up. 11 Let's see if we can -- instead of 12 that, let's invite them in and see if they'll 13 entertain that instead. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll arrange that, 15 sir. 16 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. All 17 right. So I inquired because we constantly 18 get complaints about parks that aren't being 19 locked at night, especially Novembrino. It's 20 been an issue for a couple years. It's not a 21 secret. It was brought up recently. 22 So I asked as I did last year, 23 what's the schedule? What's the process? Is 24 there a checklist? How is it -- how are we 25 locking these parks and how are we -- knowing  43 1 that they're being locked because we're told 2 they're not by our residents. 3 And we appreciate that they come to 4 us and tell us that. But they shouldn't have 5 to -- these parks that we spent a lot of money, 6 a lot of tax money, a lot of your money through 7 Covid. But we need to secure them. So I 8 asked, okay, so who's doing it, like, who, 9 when, where, what's the checklist. 10 So what I got was Crowley Park is 11 locked at dusk and unlocked at 6 a.m. by 12 Marywood Campus Police. Sweeney Beach is 13 locked by the Scranton Police Department at 14 dusk and unlocked by park staff at 15 approximately 7 a.m., during the three warmer 16 seasons. 17 During the winter, the road access 18 gate was closed during weekend because of fewer 19 people, okay? And, you know, the weekend 20 requires overtime hours for park staff. Foot 21 traffic can still do through by cars cannot. 22 Novembrino Park or Novembrino Splash 23 Pad/Park is locked at dusk at approximately 6 24 p.m. Well, we're hoping that's occurring but 25 we're old otherwise -- during the winter months  44 1 at approximately 8 p.m. During summer months, 2 the park director will be coming back out to 3 lock the park because workers leave the 3 p.m. 4 In the event that the park's 5 director is unable to do so, the director will 6 allocate the responsibility to another 7 individual. So it looks like there's a plan in 8 place. We'll just have to monitor and make 9 sure. 10 And the good neighbors around there 11 will let us know because they always do. 12 They're our eyes and ears. And we're glad to 13 have them. 14 Weston Field back road gates will 15 remain closed to cars so they cannot drive back 16 to the gates -- back gates. The parking lot 17 will remain open because there are sports that 18 occur on these fields in the evening. And they 19 will still need access to parking and the 20 field. 21 The city is saying we're looking 22 into natural barriers to prevent cars from 23 driving onto the field from the parking lot. 24 That shouldn't be hard at all obviously. So I 25 hope there's another strategy besides waiting  45 1 for a couple bushes to grow to prevent that. 2 The Scranton Police Department 3 provided information last week on 52 incidents 4 at Weston Field, building checks happen anytime 5 the alarm shows for any reason including a 6 cleaning person arriving and not turning off 7 the alarm in time. 8 Okay, so there's -- there's some 9 procedure in place there, a fire alarm that 10 needed to be reset, etc. Other incidents were 11 related to the removal of Code Blue individuals 12 from the building, which were also the reason 13 for two of the four cases the SPD provided 14 information about that. 15 So, all right, I'm glad we got some 16 information, some feedback, some type of 17 strategy that's in place. Let's hope that it 18 all occurs, all right. So next up, Mr. Coyne 19 asked about the Gerrity gift cards. We've been 20 talking about that for a couple of years. 21 I inquired a couple years about it. 22 So let's finally, you know, get some answers, 23 ask administration the questions that Mr. Coyne 24 relayed to these gift cards. It shouldn't be a 25 secret. All right. So someone came to me  46 1 regarding the new pickleball courts that are 2 going to be at Nay Aug that are going to be 3 opening soon. 4 And to be honest with you, I don't 5 know if there's six or eight. I'm not sure. 6 So don't quote me on the amount. But this 7 individual, you know, came to me with, you 8 know, so I had more questions than details at 9 this point. 10 So what was brought to my attention 11 is on the weekend that two of these courts are 12 going to be utilized by a private entity as for 13 a league. I mean, I get the little leagues are 14 owned by the city. But they have -- that's a 15 nonprofit type of organization. 16 They fundraise for sustainability, 17 pay the bills. They get the grass cut. They 18 get the uniforms. That's different. No one at 19 these little leagues benefit personally. When 20 they do, they're caught and it's against the 21 law. 22 So but I'm hearing -- now like I 23 said, this -- we need to look it and it's 24 something we should look into it before we get 25 these courts opening being used. All I did  47 1 real quickly was look at the code for parks and 2 recreation. 3 City parks shall be open daily to 4 all citizens on absolute equal terms. And none 5 shall be given special privilege therein or 6 permitted to make use of them for any purpose 7 not practically common to all. And not in -- 8 consonance with proper uses of the park. 9 So that tells me that the type of 10 behavior or something's that being put together 11 violates. Like I said, little league, 12 they're -- they're maintained. We own them. 13 We try to maintain them the best we can. 14 But they do a lot of sustainability 15 by themselves with their great booster 16 organizations and fundraisers. But what I'm 17 hearing, okay, is on Sunday there will be 18 someone that -- and I'm not against leagues, I 19 mean, you know, but how -- so, Solicitor 20 Gilbride, can you please reach out to the city 21 and just ask a couple -- poke around and ask a 22 couple questions? 23 I mean, like I said, I have more 24 questions than details. The details I have is 25 it's going to happen. The details I have is  48 1 two parks that are going to be allowed to be 2 run by a private individual for leagues. 3 So that seems to violate the code. 4 And that prevents people that say come to -- on 5 Sunday and there's no available -- all the 6 other courts are being used, what happens to 7 them? Like I just said, I read the code. 8 Guess who paid for this? You guys 9 paid for this. Covid money paid for this. 10 Federal dollars paid for this. No one should 11 benefit financially utilizing -- utilizing 12 these courts. I hope that's not the case. 13 Like I said, I have more details 14 than questions. But let's get some of these 15 questions asked because who made this decision 16 if this is true? Like I said, if this is true, 17 who authorized this? And we have a parks and 18 rec authority that's supposed to vote on things 19 through their entity. 20 They are in charge of the park. The 21 administration in this building is not in 22 charge of the park. They don't make them 23 decisions. Sometimes they like to think they 24 do. But it's clear to me that the authority -- 25 so was this decided by the authority with a  49 1 vote? I don't know. 2 That is probably a good question. 3 Or was this just decided by the administration 4 and/or the Parks Director without, you know, 5 consulting the authority or going to the formal 6 process? Like I said, I'm not sure if all of 7 these details are forthcoming yet. 8 But we have to ask the questions now 9 before these parks open and some stuff happens 10 that probably doesn't follow the code, if you 11 could please just, you know, craft some type of 12 e-mail inquiring with some bullets and see if 13 we get some answers to this. 14 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes. 15 MR. MCANDREW: Thanks. And that is 16 all I have. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 18 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments at 19 this time? 20 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. Just 21 briefly, there was some good conversations had 22 earlier this week on the pending kratom 23 legislation. There's going to be more 24 conversations later this week, so happy that 25 it's moving forward in a collaborative way but  50 1 that progress isn't being impeded. 2 As long as that continues, happy to 3 have those conversations and look forward to 4 continuing them. That's all I have. Thank 5 you. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 7 Yeah, I'd like to echo those comments as well. 8 It seems like we're moving in a positive 9 direction. We're moving the ball forward. And 10 as long as that continues to happen, we're open 11 to the discussion. 12 We did get a lot of responses back 13 to the questions that were brought forward last 14 week concerning the one-way street change on 15 the 3100 of Cedar Avenue. There was probably 16 too many to read off tonight. 17 But we asked about the City Engineer 18 on the project, why the City Engineer was doing 19 the project and not someone else. And it was 20 stated that the City Engineer typically 21 performs small traffic studies as part of their 22 normal scope of work for the city. 23 That was one. We discussed about 24 signage if there's going to be possible signage 25 or if that was a recommendation that was made  51 1 as the church may be now used as a cut through 2 because of the one way change. 3 And it was stated that City 4 Engineers will recommend adding private lot, no 5 cut through signage at the church. They also 6 had some discussions with the Pastor of the 7 church as well. 8 There was some questions about the 9 funeral processions and the routes that they 10 will take. And it was stated that the city 11 engineers did discuss the funeral processions 12 and the route changes. That was discussed with 13 the Pastor of the church, Father McDonnell. 14 And they're stating that at this 15 point in time the two-way traffic on Cedar 16 during these events at the church is more of a 17 safety issue than changing it to a one way. It 18 was stated that the study wasn't signed. 19 And we did get back that the study 20 was sent to the city for review and used the 21 Law Department and it was signed and sealed by 22 Paul Mandogello{phonetic}. They sent an 23 attachment with that. When I asked about some 24 of those several options because it seemed like 25 there was several options that were put out  52 1 there including that one way -- two way with 2 no parking on one side, I wanted to know where 3 those options came from or how they were 4 decided upon. 5 But they let me know that the City 6 Planning Commission and Zoning did not approve 7 it but that the status of the street became an 8 issue during the review of that land 9 development when they were talking about the 10 building of the apartment building. 11 So I'm going to take more of a look 12 at these questions and these answers and see 13 where we're going through there. We did ask 14 about the S-shaped serpentine pattern that's 15 going to be needed to navigate through the 16 neighborhood at this point in time. 17 And it said that the city engineers 18 do not recommend additional changes. But this 19 is the plan that they had. And they recommend 20 that impacts of a change will be monitored 21 after it's implemented. And if there was 22 additional changes that need to be made, they 23 will recommend those later. 24 And then in looking at some of the 25 old Planning Commission --- not some of the  53 1 old, but some of the past planning commission 2 and zoning meetings, I did notice that on April 3 22nd, the Planning Commission was meeting. 4 They were going to discuss the complete streets 5 policy that was going to be presented to City 6 Council. 7 So I did ask for a copy since it 8 will be coming in front of us, I asked for 9 Planning Commissions Complete Streets Policy to 10 review. And the answer I got back was that 11 it's being considered as a part of Planning 12 Commission to propose to Council for adoption. 13 It's about making new or renovated 14 street projects more friendly to the 15 environment and that the Planning Commission 16 meeting last week they agreed that they're 17 going to have members of the commission edit 18 the draft before it's sent to Council as a 19 comprehensive plan for general guidance. 20 So I'm curious to see this Complete 21 Street's plan and what the Planning Commission 22 is drafting and hope to see that soon since it 23 will be coming before this body. I did ask 24 questions -- Mr. McAndrew stated about the 25 finance meeting and some of the discussion that  54 1 was had there. 2 I did notice with our first quarter 3 Controller's Report for the first time in my 4 tenure here, our expenditures exceeded our 5 revenues. So I had asked about that. And I 6 asked if there was any projected the 7 shortfalls. 8 And the first answer that we got 9 back was they're not projecting any shortfalls. 10 But they did make an update that in the March 11 Controller's Report we did exceed -- our 12 expenditures did exceed revenue. But by April, 13 there would be an update and that that was not 14 the case that the city caught up by April. 15 And that as of 4/23, the city 16 collect 1.7 revenue through April and we were 17 not -- there wasn't a shortfall after the month 18 of April. We have some questions that were 19 brought up in Fourth Order about the 20 Unsheltered Task Force, about those homeless 21 outreach initiatives of $31,000 and hunger 22 initiatives as well as the budget of 15,000 23 that only 8,600 were spent. 24 I know that Mr. Sean McAndrew asked 25 for an itemization of this. But the answer I  55 1 got back for this question was that the 2 administration works with the Unsheltered Task 3 Force and Hunger Task Force to determine best 4 use of those funds on an annual basis. 5 So it did not really answer the 6 question of why the whole portion of that money 7 was spent. But hopefully we'll get some more 8 of that in those itemizations. We did have 9 some other questions regarding feral cats. 10 And as I said earlier in the 11 meeting, the line item for Animal Control has 12 been raised from '25 to '26 about $58,000. 13 And we did increase the line item for Street 14 Cats and Dogs, $5,000, which is an increase all 15 around when it comes to stray animals and 16 feral cats in city. 17 But it's a good opportunity to ask 18 for an update on Street Cats and Dogs, so that 19 was asked. So I'm curious to see the update 20 from them. Other than that, that's all I have 21 for this evening. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
