So first 7 off, there's going to be the Armed Forces 8 Parade Day is a week Saturday. This parade 9 supports our armed forces veterans, active duty 10 and military and all who have served our nation 11 with honor. 12 The special day is about patriotism, 13 community, and showing appreciation for the men 14 and women who protect our freedoms. We're 15 honored to play a role in helping celebrate 16 their service and sacrifice. So this notice I 17 got is to join us at the parade. 18 And then stay after for the party 19 and concert as we come together celebrating 20 America's 250th anniversary. It starts at 11 21 a.m. Again, it's at the Gino Merli Center and 22 ends at the Courthouse Square. The after party 23 and concert is immediately following the parade 24 from 1 to 4 p.m., in the 500 block of Linden 25 Street downtown.  5 1 There will be live music by Flatland 2 Ruckus and Toby Keith -- it is a Toby Keith 3 tribute band. So, of course, all are welcome. 4 It sounds like a great event. I'd also like to 5 wish all the mothers out there a very Happy 6 Mother's Day and those who take the role as 7 mother. 8 We all know there's many of them out 9 there. And I hope it's a great weekend. We 10 know it's always filled of activities and just, 11 you know, a couple weeks from now hang in 12 there, guys, it will be Father's Day for us. 13 And I'd also like to recognize being 14 that it's National Teacher Appreciation Week, 15 recognize my colleagues that I work with every 16 day and all the teachers and educators, even 17 the paraeducators out there that support us on 18 a daily basis to help, you know, educate our 19 youth and prepare them for their futures. And 20 that is all I have. Thank you. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other 22 announcements at this time? 23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I just 24 want to also wish all the mothers out there 25 Happy Mother's Day, especially my own. I'm  6 1 very blessed to have a great one, also the God 2 Mothers and Grandmothers and everybody, also 3 have a great godmother. So I hope everybody 4 has a great time celebrating. And it's a 5 beautiful weekend, so thanks. 6 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, I'd like to echo 7 those sentiments, Happy Mother's Day to all the 8 mothers out there, specifically my wife Kate, 9 the best mother in the world, my mother Kathy, 10 my mother-in-law Sussie and, you know, it is 11 Teacher Appreciation Week also. 12 I want to give a shoutout to my wife 13 Kate who's a teacher, my sister Maura and 14 excited for the celebrations for Mother's Day 15 this weekend. I also wanted to take a moment 16 to personally give my condolences to the 17 Trently family for the loss of Maureen Trently, 18 my dear friend South Side Johnny Trently on the 19 loss of his beloved wife; my dear friend Nolan 20 Trently on the loss of his mother; and the 21 entire Trently family. I'm so sorry. My 22 thoughts and prayers are with you all. That's 23 all I have. 24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, and 25 actually happy Teacher Appreciation Day to you,  7 1 Councilman McAndrew. Thanks for all you do for 2 our kids at the CTC every day. You do great 3 things for the community. We always see it 4 posted in the paper and online. So thank you 5 for all you do. 6 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 8 Thanks for announcing the Armed Forces Day 9 Parade. That's something that I've attended 10 since my grandfather was involved with it. And 11 it's great to see that it still goes on. 12 I brought my son each year that it 13 occurs. Happy Mother's Day to all. And my 14 condolences as well to the Trently family. 15 Fourth Order. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 17 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker 19 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 21 Scranton. I'm still watching the City's 22 website to find the updated DPW labor contract. 23 It's not there yet. And I'll ask you every 24 week until I see it. 25 But I did see on the website the  8 1 press release on the Mayor's State of the City 2 address which she gave recently. Now, she gave 3 this at the University of Scranton. And her 4 audience consisted of city and community 5 leaders, local educators, and nonprofit and 6 business partners. 7 Apparently the general public was 8 not invited. Or if they were, I missed the 9 invitation, probably got lost in the mail. 10 It's a very positive speech as you might 11 expect. And she goes through all the 12 achievements during her six years as Mayor. 13 She gives a passing nod -- she gives 14 tribute to professionals and partners, none of 15 whom she names for the city's financial 16 recovery. But I'd have to tell her that, you 17 know, long before she arrived in the city, a 18 lot of work was done by various predecessors, 19 not the least of which was Jerry Cross from 20 PEL, the Pennsylvania Economy League and Dave 21 Bulzoni, a prior Business Administrator. 22 She doesn't allude or mention any of 23 the challenges that the city is still facing, 24 you know, minor things like homelessness, 25 gangs, crime. I would have been happy to see  9 1 her just mention them saying here's the 2 progress the city's made in the last six years. 3 But, no, everything was pollyanna 4 and rosey, we're doing very well. And, yes, 5 the city has made progress. I don't deny it. 6 But here's a radical thought. Why doesn't she 7 have a town hall meeting open to the general 8 public and present the same speech and then 9 take questions from the audience? I dare her. 10 Okey-dokey, well, let's go onto 5-C. 11 This is a resolution to appoint Samuel Kuchwara 12 to the Recreational Authority. Now, I don't 13 know this gentleman. He may be God's gift to 14 municipal authorities or he may be a zero. I 15 have no idea. 16 But I looked at the backup on him. 17 And I was under the impression that you 18 required a resume from people being appointed 19 to authorities and boards. So we're passed for 20 his resume, I would assume, was a picture of 21 him from July of 1967. 22 He looks like a teenager. I assume 23 he is in that picture standing next to George 24 Lowry, the former Superintendent of Nay Aug 25 Park or zoo. And apparently George just shot  10 1 an alligator that had escaped from the zoo. 2 That is his entire resume. So I would strongly 3 recommend that you send this back for an 4 appropriate resume. He may be very qualified 5 even though, you know, that's what he put 6 forward. 7 Also, he's a resident of Dickson 8 City. Do we not look for Scranton residents 9 first? But that's up to you guys. And let's 10 see. Oh, I do have something very, very 11 positive. 12 You know, literacy is a topic that 13 the County Commissioners are trying to grapple 14 with because of problems that we have been 15 having throughout the county. And there are 16 various kinds of literacy. There's verbal 17 literacy. There's financial literacy and there 18 is now digital literacy. 19 And for those of you who like me are 20 challenged with digital literacy, there's going 21 to be a presentation at the Scranton Public 22 Library, Saturday, May 9th at 2 p.m., in the 23 Hinkelman Room. It's open to the general 24 public. It's free. 25 It's going to be presented by Shelly  11 1 Pratt McHugh. She's an Associate Professor and 2 Research Instruction Librarian at Weinberg 3 Memorial Library at the University of Scranton. 4 And she is going to explain, open a web browser 5 or social media app and you find yourself 6 bombarded with videos, all tools and expensive 7 production cost and expert content creators 8 make it hard to distinguish real from fake. 9 She will help you how to tell the 10 difference. So if you need to learn about 11 digital literacy, join me on Saturday. Thank 12 you. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is 14 Mike Mancini. 15 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council 16 President Schuster. Good evening, Council and 17 residents of Scranton. Tonight part nine of my 18 series, the State of Scranton, how to fix some 19 major issues. 20 Unresolved issues become scars but 21 more for residents of Scranton. Municipal 22 malpractice creates blighted neighborhoods, 23 unsafe roads, mismanaged funds, and major 24 safety concerns. 25 I have discussed with Council many  12 1 concerns over the years, just to fall on deaf 2 ears. Last week, a speaker called those chairs 3 hallow. Prove him and those wrong. While the 4 administration makes excuses not to act, 5 Council can and should. 6 Here are some recommendations, find 7 out why the administration used the excuse no 8 teeth ordinance to not fine the utilities for 9 extremely poor road conditions. They need to 10 quit coddling the utilities while leaving money 11 on the table. This third party, five fine, 12 useless, waste of money company needs to go. 13 We need our own eyes on our own 14 roads. What an insult to the residents and DPW 15 employees. Other municipalities and state have 16 ordinances that include fines to third parties 17 who fail to maintain storm drains properly. 18 These fines range from 100 to $1,000 per day 19 per violation. 20 Scranton's current stormwater 21 ordinance already allows the city to backcharge 22 property owners for the cost of repairs if they 23 fail to maintain their property while PA Water 24 gets municipal malpractice. 25 My recommendation is to update the  13 1 current legislation to include those fines. 2 Many railroad bridges need replacement due to 3 the height and age. Each bridge in question is 4 over 100 years old. I recommend a letter to 5 each responsible railroad company as a starting 6 point. 7 Our residents have many safety 8 concerns. This administration bypass Council 9 and residents. They switched the structure of 10 the whole police department. There was no 11 study done to determine that the new department 12 changes exceed our safety concerns and 13 standards. 14 I strongly recommend one because 15 these needs -- there needs to be one, zero 16 tolerance for gangs, drugs, and unlawful 17 weapons. I had mentioned thousands of warrants 18 outstanding for some serious accusations. The 19 safety issue is concerning because we continue 20 to lose neighborhoods. 21 How many unwanted, unlawful 22 individuals fly under the radar? A pill press, 23 pounds of fentanyl, new designer and other 24 drugs have been introduced to neighborhoods 25 within Scranton.  14 1 We cannot continue to afford safety 2 malpractice. This Council needs to try to 3 correct these safety concerns tonight. It 4 alarms me that this administration has made 5 little or no attempt to come to an agreement in 6 principle with PA Ambulance. 7 I would recommend that this Council 8 brings in PA Ambulance for a caucus with hopes 9 that directly working with them for an 10 agreement. Here's what I propose. We have 11 eight fire stations strategically located after 12 studies for the best response times. 13 One has an amazing rescue unit. PA 14 Ambulance should be stationed at every or near 15 every location other than Company 1 on Wyoming 16 Avenue, two certified ALS support trained 17 firefighters on Rescue 1 billing for ALS 18 services. 19 I also recommend that our city 20 operates two ALS SUVs to service our city that 21 relieve each strategic location with an 22 ambulance for BLS or ALS services. This will 23 also help with quicker response times and 24 reduce the number of out of service units. 25 A minimum of five PA Ambulances and  15 1 four city ALS 24/7. Council can enact an 2 agreement for ambulance services due to the 3 length of time and safety concerns. While most 4 swing to make contact off of a tee, those like 5 me swing for the fences. 6 I see the good in Scranton, its 7 residents and I appear weekly for them. Week 8 after week, month after month, I brought up 9 many infrastructure and safety concerns with my 10 head down reading from a prepared statement. 11 Next week, we will have a conversation. Stay 12 tuned, the finale of my 10 part series, what do 13 you want to talk about? Good evening, Council, 14 and the good residents of Scranton. 15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Mr. Mancini, I 16 just want to touch on some of the things you 17 said. I know you made the comments that we're 18 not acting to some of the questions you're 19 asking, but we probably had more caucuses in 20 the last five months than the previous Council 21 did last year. 22 MR. MANCINI: I agree. 23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: We brought in 24 and discussed the utility companies. We 25 challenged them on the storm drains to get, you  16 1 know, who owns the drains. We have yet to get 2 a response yet. Bridges are being fixed. We 3 are reporting the issues on bridges. 4 The ambulance, we're trying to get a 5 caucus for the -- with the ambulance service. 6 We have stuff to report out now. We're meeting 7 with the Chief and asking for a caucus on top 8 of that. 9 So a lot of these concerns that you 10 are saying we're not addressing, we have proven 11 that we're addressing. And we're still 12 addressing publically, but also privately on 13 our own to try to get answers. So I don't want 14 you to think we're not working on these because 15 I think we have proven we are. And we're going 16 to continue to do so. 17 MR. MANCINI: Well, until you 18 actually answer my questions and acknowledge my 19 concerns, you don't -- you're not doing 20 anything. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: So thank you very 22 much. Mr. Mancini, thank you very much. Up 23 next is Les Spindler. 24 MR. MANCINI: Thank you for your 25 time.  17 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Les 2 Spindler. 3 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 4 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 5 homeowner. I don't know if any of you watched 6 the news last night, but something very good 7 happened in Harrisburg yesterday. The State 8 Senate passed a bill which will raise the 9 minimum sentence from 7 years to 20 years for 10 people who are convicted of crimes against our 11 law enforcement. 12 And that's why I'm wearing this 13 shirt tonight because Detective Gilmartin was 14 there, along with the several area DAs. And 15 Detective Gilmartin spoke. And I'll tell you 16 what, he's made tremendous strides after what 17 he went through. 18 He spoke very well, looks like he's 19 doing great. But it's about time something was 20 done in Harrisburg for our law enforcement. 21 It's now -- now hopefully the House of 22 Representatives will pass it. It goes to them 23 next. 24 Happy to announce that today Euclid 25 Avenue and two blocks of North Sumner that were  18 1 ripped up by the water company last year were 2 paved. And it's beautiful. I just drove on it 3 coming down here. 4 My question is, who's going to be 5 the first utility company to come in and dig 6 them up next week? It always seems to happen. 7 While we're on streets, Pennoni is not doing a 8 darn thing. I said this week after week after 9 week. 10 I talked about 112-114 South Main 11 Avenue. There were pave cuts which became 12 potholes. And they weren't patched recently, 13 but they got to be dug up and done the right 14 way. It's still real bumpy in those spots. 15 They are not doing their job. 16 Also, I spoke about this a few weeks 17 ago. Clearview Street and North Main, there 18 was one pave cut there that is just -- just 19 looked like they threw blacktop down. Now 20 about two weeks ago there was a sewer main 21 break there. 22 It was closed down for a day on Main 23 Avenue. And they just threw blacktop down and 24 filled that in. You have to slow down really 25 slow to go over those pave cuts again. What's  19 1 Pennoni doing? Why are we paying them? 2 They're not doing their jobs. Something's 3 got -- something's got to happen. Our streets 4 are a mess. 5 Another subject of mine, Green Ridge 6 Street Bridge Project. The last two Fridays 7 nothing was done there. This Friday again 8 along with two weeks ago, I was stuck on the 9 bridge in traffic, both ways backed up. It's a 10 safety issue. 11 Last year I told about a story I was 12 behind an ambulance that had the sirens and 13 lights going. It couldn't get through. It 14 took a minute or two for that ambulance to get 15 through. Lives are at stake. These people are 16 dragging their feet. PennDOT is dragging their 17 feet. 18 Thursday they put curbs in all the 19 way up to Main Avenue and Green Ridge Street 20 right by where Safe Light Auto -- Safe Auto 21 Glass used to be. Thursday, they're digging up 22 the parking lot where Safe Light Auto was. It 23 had nothing to do with the project. 24 Why are we wasting our time digging 25 up half the lot? And it's inside the curb. It  20 1 made no sense to me at all. Meanwhile, the one 2 lane of the bridge isn't even open yet. 3 There's barriers on the one side. The whole 4 bridge isn't even open yet. And they're 5 dragging their feet. It's unbelievable. 6 Yesterday, coming home, made the 7 turn off Main Avenue to go up Euclid the way 8 I'm supposed to go. Second time in a week a 9 car is coming down the wrong way. I didn't 10 back up. I yelled at the guy even though his 11 windows were closed. I pointed at the sign. 12 It's one way. It says do not enter. It's 13 ridiculous. This plan wasn't thought through. 14 It's a terrible idea. Does anybody -- is that 15 part of the Streetscape Project? 16 MR. SCHUSTER: It is part of the 17 Streetscape Project. 18 MR. SPINDLER: That's another 19 terrible idea along with the stop signs 20 replacing traffic lights, never should have 21 been pushed through. But the Mayor knew that 22 she had three people on Council who don't have 23 a mind of their own and listen to her. So they 24 passed it. It's a terrible project. 25 Lastly, walking my dog yesterday a  21 1 neighbor of mine who lives on Dorothy Street 2 asked me to sign a petition. They want to make 3 Dorothy Street a one way. I said, well, that 4 was supposed to happen when the new school was 5 being built, but somehow it didn't happen. 6 So I don't know what's going on. 7 But I hope -- I hope they make it one way. 8 Thank you for your time. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Just to 10 clarify, it's not part of downtown streetscape. 11 It's a streetscape project that's happening 12 there in West Side. So I did send in a 13 question about that area. 14 Some of the neighbors there were 15 very concerned about the traffic patterns for 16 exactly what Mr. Spindler had said. There's 17 drivers coming on the newly posted one-way 18 street. The administration did give back an 19 answer and it's that it's a traffic enforcement 20 issue. 21 The police department is suggesting 22 additional signage to improve the safety in 23 that area. And DPW is going to go in and 24 install those. Thank you. Next up is Elaine 25 Donnelly.  22 1 MS. DONNELLY: Sorry about my phone. 2 I'm notorious for that. And I did turn the 3 volume down I thought. So anyway, first of 4 all, I'm Elaine Donnelly, and I live at 211 5 Karen Drive up on East Mountain. 6 And I just want to compliment -- I 7 don't know who, the city, because we have the 8 greatest park up there. And there's so many 9 children that live up there and so many of 10 the -- not only the neighborhoods but the 11 apartment buildings. And it's always well 12 used. So it's great. Thank you. 13 So I'm here to talk about trees 14 because, yes, I'm a tree hugger. And I don't 15 apologize for that. And I have been watching 16 in the 10 years that I've lived up there -- 17 almost 10 years, that so many trees being cut 18 down. 19 And there are two properties in 20 particular where it's just heartbreaking. So I 21 have questions. And I don't know how to go 22 about this. Last time I spoke to City Council 23 I had brown hair. That's how long it's been. 24 But are there laws that enforce like a Shade 25 Tree Commission?  23 1 I Googled it. And I think there is 2 one. And they meet four times a year. And 3 Mr. Santoli I think is in charge of it. But I 4 wasn't really sure whether it enforced laws for 5 just public properties or it also pertained to 6 private properties because they talked about 7 topping trees and cutting trees and you should 8 get a permit from the city. 9 And I don't know whether any of that 10 is being enforced. And but, you know, I 11 watched a tree -- just a little story that this 12 property was clearcut up there. It was being 13 flipped. And they cut down this tree where 14 pileated woodpecker lives. And I don't know if 15 any of you've ever seen them. 16 And they're huge and they're so 17 Woody Woodpecker. And twice after that tree 18 was cut down I saw him sitting on the stump. 19 And, you know, it really does matter to our 20 environment to have respect and a protection of 21 our land, you know, it's a bucolic setting. 22 It's right in our city. A lot of 23 cities don't have anything like that. So I 24 don't know about that. And I don't know when 25 the commission was revised or updated or  24 1 whether it's been modelled after any other 2 communities. 3 And I know there is other 4 communities that have active Shade Tree 5 Commissions. And I don't know that people in 6 Scranton even know it exists. So but I'm 7 watching this whole group of trees that I 8 believe are going to be cut down. 9 And they're healthy. All of the 10 trees that I'm watching being cut down up there 11 are healthy. And there is no reason to take 12 them down. And so anyway, so that's -- that's 13 all that I have to say. 14 I kind of fly by the seat of my 15 pants, so I didn't write down any comments. 16 But I just am sick about it. And I would love 17 to be able to, you know, participate in the 18 protection of our communities. I mean, real 19 estate goes down when there's no trees on 20 properties. 21 Did you see a movie with a whole, 22 you know, cityscape where there's no trees? 23 They're all tree lined. Anyway, so I, you 24 know, I would be happy to help. But I don't 25 even know exactly what I'm talking about. And  25 1 I think that's a part of the problem. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Could you please 3 leave your contact, an e-mail address or 4 telephone number? 5 MS. DONNELLY: Yeah, I'll write it 6 down and I'll give it to you. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: You could leave it 8 with Kathy. And the trees that you're talking 9 about, are they public -- is it public 10 property? 11 MS. DONNELLY: No, they're on 12 private properties. And that's -- but I think 13 the Shade Tree Committee -- or Commission said 14 private property, you know, where they were 15 healthy trees, you know, they should be 16 protected. 17 And, you know, there is one property 18 up there, there's at least 20 trees that have 19 been cut down. And it sits right next to a 20 little wetland. I could go on and on, but I 21 won't. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, if you could 23 leave your contact. 24 MS. DONNELLY: Okay. Thank you very 25 much.  26 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 2 anyone else like to address Council? Oh, 3 sorry, Mr. Morgan. Sorry, you did sign in 4 tonight. I skipped over it for some -- 5 MR. MORGAN: It doesn't matter. 6 That's fine. You know, I'd like to say that I 7 do understand the difference between public 8 property and property owned by the city. But I 9 do agree that it's important to protect trees. 10 I've got a couple trees on my property that 11 have been there for over 150 years. And I 12 wouldn't even consider cutting them down. 13 I've got a couple things here. You 14 know, last week there was some discussion about 15 Street Cats. You know, my point in regards to 16 Street Cats is very simple. Those people are 17 doing a phenomenal job with the equipment and 18 the money they have. 19 And I think that the city needs to 20 increase by two the amount of Animal Control 21 employees in this city for one simple reason. 22 Somebody needs to start trapping these cats. 23 The city also needs a dedicated veterinarian or 24 a group that could do these spading and 25 neuterings because the population of feral and  27 1 stray abandoned cats is ridiculous. 2 And these cats to me are not a 3 nuisance they are just abandoned. And, you 4 know, I did hear the discussion about that they 5 had received an increase of $5,000. But I just 6 want to say that $5,000 is really nothing, 7 absolutely nothing. Here, I've got -- I went 8 out and I got three feral cats fixed adjacent 9 to my property. 10 I don't remember when, probably late 11 March. That is over $400. They have rabies 12 shots and got neutered or whatever. I don't 13 know if they were male or female. And, you 14 know, my point is, Street Cats can't help me 15 because they're so overwhelmed that it's beyond 16 ridiculous. 17 And somebody needs to step in and 18 fix something because ultimately this is the 19 city's responsibility. And, you know, you got 20 people there volunteering doing the best they 21 can. And you've got to respect that. But if 22 you're their partner, you have to help them. 23 And you have an obligation to the city and the 24 residents to do that. 25 Now, feral cats do perform a very  28 1 important thing. They control rodents. And 2 some people would be amazed at the amount of 3 rodents they kill. And I think that's a 4 benefit to the community. But a lot of people 5 find them as nuisance because the city hasn't 6 tried to repurpose them. 7 If you look at maybe it's Tampa in 8 Florida, they repurpose them. They get them 9 jobs. I mean, it sounds stupid to say that, 10 but they do. And we need somebody to really do 11 something about this situation. 12 The other thing I have here is, you 13 know, it's Mother's Day and I appreciate that. 14 And in the time and age we're in, so many 15 people don't know actually what a woman is. 16 And I'd say to every woman and every mother to 17 go and look at what the female researchers have 18 determined a woman is, okay, because politics 19 is and the courts have entered into an awful 20 lot of things. 21 And I think that if they saw this 22 research, it would change the way they see the 23 world. We've allowed politics to trespass into 24 too many things. And it's really destroying 25 our culture and our communities. So, you know,  29 1 I just hope you look into that and hopefully 2 you'll take serious the requests I make of this 3 Council. I spent a lot of time in this city. 4 I know exactly what I'm talking about. 5 And I don't play politics. But I 6 hope somebody listens and makes some changes. 7 And somebody has to do something about the 8 nonprofits because the burden is way beyond out 9 of control. And, you know, I can't understand 10 why Councilmen can't do a letter to the PUC 11 asking for reductions in the water and sewer 12 rates. 13 And not only that, the gas 14 distribution charge for moving natural gas, 15 because the people in this city and all over 16 this country are buried. And they need 17 somebody to stand up for them and work for 18 them, not fight for them, but to work. Thank 19 you. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 21 else like to address Council? 22 MR. COYNE: Greetings, Council, Tom 23 Coyne, Minooka. First of all, the gift cards 24 that I've been asking about, I did a little bit 25 of research because I remember it came to this  30 1 body beforehand. 2 The first time the gift cards 3 program came before this body actually went 4 through Council and was approved was for $5,000 5 for $25 gift cards. That was on July 9 of 2024 6 when it came before this body, and it was 7 passed on July 16 of 2024. 8 Here we are today in 2026. And so 9 far, we've had the public announcement in a 10 newspaper before an election of one gift card 11 being handed out. So if we have $25 out of 12 $5,000 that this City Council passed, July 16 13 of 2024, where's the $4,975? 14 What's happened to it? Why is it so 15 hidden? Who's handing it out or who's not 16 handing it out? 17 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Excuse me, real 18 quick. I posed that question last week for an 19 update. Unfortunately, I didn't get the answer 20 that you probably want to hear or I wanted to 21 hear. All I got -- the answer I received was 22 another round of Good Neighbor Program gift 23 cards will take place this May. 24 So we didn't get the answer to last 25 year's, and I'll just circle around and for  31 1 clare -- you know -- 2 MR. COYNE: Another round of gift 3 cards from July 16 of 2024, and when getting 4 passed out sounds like Wimpy, gonna pay for a 5 hamburger Tuesday for what's been given 6 today -- given today. He'll pay you later on. 7 It just seems odd that it's taken a year and a 8 half and we have one card. 9 Kratom, the next generation of it is 10 already prepared and ready. They've had 11 articles on it now from the people who've made 12 it. They're all ready for the high potency -- 13 the high potency formula, to change it, rebrand 14 it chemically, make it slightly different. 15 It's already manufactured and ready 16 to go on -- on the lines as soon as kratom gets 17 banned in enough areas. This has been a chase 18 the tail. And it's going to continue too. I 19 understand the reasons for trying to get it 20 removed, but designer drugs are always going to 21 be difficult, especially when you use specific 22 bans for specific products because they're just 23 going to change them. And they're going to be 24 back the next week. 25 In the Scranton Times, we had two  32 1 articles on the same subject that strike a 2 different tone. Scranton Times article 3 headlines where officials celebrate Scranton 4 School District's literary success. The IA 5 seemed to temper the excitement down a little 6 bit with the headline, Scranton School 7 Teachers, Leaders focus on why literacy with 8 national -- with the -- literacy with the 9 national union's help. 10 Leaders focus on literacy is a 11 little bit tempered down from literary success. 12 Behind the fluff what's not said, the 13 Pennsylvania Literary Coalition who did the 14 report shows 66 percent of third graders in 15 Lackawanna County are not reading proficient. 16 So let's translate that. Lackawanna 17 County, eight to nine year olds have about a 34 18 percent proficiency rating. We have by the 19 statistics about 2,510 third grade students in 20 Lackawanna County. So we have 16 -- 1,656 21 third grader students who are not literate and 22 853 who are. 23 Those numbers, the 66 percent are 24 from the Times from VIA, the percentage was 25 quoted was 35.6 percent. Both put the rate at  33 1 34 to 36 percent. And if 70 percent is what we 2 consider a passing grade as it should be for 3 teachers, though I believe some schools have 4 reduced it because students couldn't make it 5 from the 75 percent down to 65 percent, 6 teachers have missed a passing grade in 7 educating our students by 36 percent. 8 We need to bring literacy up to at 9 least 70 percent as a passing grade for our 10 community. It was mentioned by Karen Keating 11 who became the superintendent last month, I 12 think because of recovery and because of all 13 the other stuff that went on, we haven't been 14 able to focus on that side of the house. 15 How are students not always the 16 focus of the educational side of the house? 17 Last point on this is the proof points. They 18 asked for 50 million in investment from the 19 state and only allocated 5 percent or 2.5 20 million to test to see if the plan is working. 21 Why do we constantly put large 22 amounts of money in to fund new educational 23 techniques and then not funding research to 24 actually see if they work or not? Because we 25 don't want the proof. Thank you and good  34 1 night. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 3 anyone else like to address Council? 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Excuse me, Marie 5 Schumacher, resident of the city, I would like 6 to talk about roads today. I live on one end 7 of a four block segment. Now, on one side it's 8 on -- happens to be on 307, there's a big sign 9 saying no -- no trucks except local deliveries. 10 But there's nothing on the other end 11 to keep it coming from the other direction. 12 And I just don't -- would like to understand 13 why it is that way, I mean, I don't really 14 care, but I think it's crazy. Now, move over 15 to the 1700 block of Wyoming Avenue. 16 Can we get the status of the meadows 17 whatever it's called meadows land? You 18 probably know, Mr. Schuster. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Are you talking about 20 the Meadow Brook? 21 MS. SCHUMACHER: Yeah, there's a -- 22 I mean, there's a program on that. And I don't 23 know how it's coming. And I would like to 24 know. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: I think there's a  35 1 handful of easements still left to go. We did 2 have a meeting with them. I believe it was 11 3 easements that are left to go. 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, that's -- okay. 5 When do you think it will end? 6 MR. SCHUSTER: As soon as they 7 secure all of those easements. 8 MS. SCHUMACHER: Thank you. Clever. 9 I think -- I think that is all I have. Thank 10 you. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 12 anyone else like to address Council? 13 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council Rik 14 Little here. Happy Cinco De Mayo. I noticed 15 in the schedule you have a thing about a 16 sinkhole here on Jackson Street, which is 17 understandable because this was a very 18 successful mining town, iron town, steel town, 19 the Electric City. 20 But ever since the initial success, 21 there's been a lot of problems. The railroad 22 strike of '77 and one thing after the other. 23 Everything is really messed up for small towns. 24 And Scranton is a very special small town 25 because the globalist powers have -- are very  36 1 intently using it, Joe Biden's hometown. 2 We got Joe Biden Street and Joe 3 Biden Expressway. And yet, he's the guy that 4 destroyed so many things even with opening the 5 border for four years. And then -- what really 6 it was for is to mess with the US 7 Constitutional system of democracy, voting. 8 We have Juneteenth, a holiday, crazy 9 holiday in my mind. But the reason they do 10 this is to get votes. And we're coming up on 11 midterms. And everything is divided in this 12 state, you know, they divide the Republican and 13 Democrats and their primaries. 14 And I think it's very important that 15 Rob Bresnahan stay in office because I had 16 years of dealing with his predecessor and 17 seeing how it's all very connected with the 18 courts. And the economy is connected with the 19 courts. And the rules of law are connected 20 with the Courts. 21 And, I mean, I'm walking along the 22 street. And you see all of these potholes. 23 And you push the little yellow thing and it 24 goes wait. That button isn't connected to 25 anything, you know. But I see people pushing  37 1 the button all the time. 2 But, you know, I had -- the song, 3 The End by the Doors in my mind when I'm 4 pushing this button. And I'm looking at it, 5 and I'm realizing, yeah, yeah, I remember 6 seeing Robbie Krieger. He was the guitar 7 player in the Doors after a lot of them died. 8 But then I noticed that -- and 9 remembering back to the budget of Scranton, 10 it's like 2.5 million for streetscape 11 Lackawanna Avenue, Linden Avenue, all of these 12 different streets. What kind of a budget is 13 this? And what kind of it is, is like people 14 apply for federal grants and they get money. 15 But it's the same company that I see 16 doing all the work, Kriger. And so I did a 17 little research into it. It has lots of 18 different things, architectural, pipes, 19 concrete. But this is the main company working 20 for the data centers in Archbald. They're 21 from Archbald. 22 This is crazy how this works. 23 We're the dividing line between government and 24 the economy. The people that are doing it 25 become -- become the government no matter what  38 1 it costs. And this town the judiciary is -- 2 it's a business. 3 You have to pay -- you have to pay a 4 lawyer to look into everything. And I was at 5 the Scranton Housing Authority meeting last 6 night. And somebody who made a bid for Waste 7 Management or against Waste Management -- 8 Scranton Housing Authority is accepting Waste 9 Management, a big globalist company all over 10 the world and knocking out another company. 11 But the legal -- the legal paperwork 12 isn't right. You have to look into the legal 13 paperwork of every single thing do you. 14 Thanks. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 17 Motions. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 19 have any motions or comments? 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I 21 received a concern from a resident about 22 potholes that are plentiful on Jefferson 23 Avenue, in particular blocks of 300, 500 and 24 600 Jefferson Avenue. I travel that street a 25 lot as well and have noticed them.  39 1 So if we could please get DPW to 2 check out the potholes and get them filled. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr 4 Rothchild. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And the 6 woman who had come up earlier who had spoken 7 about the Shade Tree Commission, if we can get 8 the responses for her regarding details of the 9 Shade Tree Commission when they -- when they're 10 meeting and if they deal with private 11 properties or if it's just on the public side, 12 I'd appreciate that. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll reach 14 out to Don King in Planning and Mr. Santoli. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Great. And since 16 she had brought it up too, the parks that up -- 17 are up there on East mountain, Robinson and 18 then Oakmont, we're up there, like every week. 19 My kids love those parks. 20 And they're really amazing. And I 21 love, like, what we've done as a city and what 22 we've invested in the parks. And I have 23 brought up in the past and will continue to 24 bring up the importance of maintaining those 25 improvements that we've made too because I  40 1 don't want to see a few years down the road, a 2 lot of issues with these parks and that we're 3 not continuing to put the -- put the money into 4 them that they're really nice right now, which 5 is a great time for them to be nice for my 6 children, but for future children they also 7 need to be maintained that way. 8 And there were a couple of things 9 noticed over at Robinson Park that I did want 10 to bring forward to Parks and Rec. So one of 11 them, there's an area a bit closer to the 12 building where there's a drain and surrounding 13 the drain is a bunch of gravel. 14 And the gravel gets kicked onto the 15 playground area and it gets, like, lodged in 16 the playground equipment too. Actually, my son 17 was trying to, like, poke it out of the crates 18 of the playground with the rocks. And then 19 another resident who lives nearby said she 20 actually brings over her leaf blower and will 21 blow them off of the playground. 22 So not sure if maybe something else 23 could be put down there instead of the gravel, 24 but a lot of it is getting onto the playground 25 area. So --  41 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have the 2 director look into that. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And then 4 there's also near the swings, some of that 5 mulch is moved out of the way. And so it's a 6 pretty deep drop there, actually fell myself 7 the one week not realizing and stepping into, 8 like, the hole under one of the swings when I 9 was going to push my son. 10 So perhaps we could have that -- 11 that mulch replenished there underneath the 12 swings. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 14 it. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And 16 something else that I wanted to bring up 17 tonight, so last week I had attended the 18 Unsheltered Task Force meeting that was held 19 virtually that I had mentioned. And they do 20 them -- they look to do those quarterly. 21 It was -- it was hosted by Sherry 22 Frable from our Community Development 23 Department. And a lot of what we discussed was 24 a big like Code Blue recap. And I heard a lot 25 of positive things on there regarding our code  42 1 blue and how it went this year. 2 People, not just from the city, but 3 from your local community organizations felt 4 like it had really gone pretty smoothly this 5 year and was one of the best run code blues 6 that we've had to date. It was also more used. 7 There was an increase in the amount of people 8 that were going to that shelter as well as more 9 days that the shelter had to be open because of 10 the brutal winter that we had. 11 So it has the Weston Field gym has a 12 capacity for 50 people. There's 50 cots. And 13 on average they were seeing 40 people a night 14 there. So there -- there might need to be some 15 considerations for this coming winter, the next 16 winter, when, if -- if that's going to continue 17 to increase or if we're going to be reaching 18 capacity there at that location. 19 It sounds like Catholic Social 20 Services will still be committed again from -- 21 for next year, which -- which I'm excited about 22 because it sounds like it worked really well, 23 and a lot of great staff that was there and 24 worked this past year. 25 So that was some of what was  43 1 discussed. I did ask a question about if there 2 were any gaps in between times that the shelter 3 had closed and other services, like what CIC 4 provides, if when those would open up. 5 And I was assured that they were 6 opening up early every day to make sure that 7 there weren't gaps and that people had a place 8 to go no matter what time of day. So it sounds 9 like they were working very hard during the 10 winter, especially to help our unsheltered 11 people in the city to be sheltered. 12 And they even at times were 13 providing rides to people. And we even had 14 some days where Weston Field where they were 15 able to stay there during the day too, like, 16 when we had the large snowstorm or some 17 especially cold days. 18 So I was glad to hear that. And we 19 also as a Council did receive an invitation 20 from the CIC, the Community Intervention Center 21 to visit that space to tour it to better 22 understand and be educated on the resources 23 that they have to offer the community. 24 So I will certainly be taking them 25 up on that invitation. And I know the other  44 1 council members were -- were interested in that 2 too. But I really just appreciate all the work 3 that they did and that the city and other 4 organizations did to work together over 5 this -- this winter to help provide shelter 6 for -- for people in need. 7 And the Scranton Area Community 8 Foundation, there will be more on this to come. 9 And I wasn't able to make the meeting, but 10 Councilman Flynn was. There was a meeting last 11 week held with lot of people it seems like to 12 also discuss not just code blue but services 13 for unsheltered people in general. 14 And I think they're committed to 15 coming up with some better, long term solutions 16 because things like the shelter that's -- 17 that's short term. That's to get people 18 somewhere for the night. But that's not 19 helping them in the long term to find housing 20 or transitional housing. 21 So looking forward to what that 22 group comes up with and being engaged with them 23 on this. I think that's everything that I have 24 to cover. Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.  45 1 Mr. Sean McAndrew, any motions or comments? 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 3 few things. First, my responses from last 4 week, last few weeks I've been asking the city 5 to either put in writing or sit down and meet 6 with me regarding the -- not having a dedicated 7 ambulance service. 8 I also asked that because I've got 9 no answers, can the Fire Chief and the Mayor 10 come in for a caucus. The response I got 11 today, Chief Judge is happy to meet in his 12 office with Council member Sean and Mark 13 McAndrew ahead of -- ahead of any public 14 caucus. 15 He is also happy to attend a caucus 16 after the office meeting if that's still deemed 17 necessary. So I know myself and Councilman 18 McAndrew will try to schedule some time to meet 19 with the Chief as soon as possible. But I do 20 think the caucus still will be deemed 21 necessary. 22 I'm just frustrated that it took 23 three attempts just to get a meeting. I'm not 24 trying to, you know, be tough -- too tough on 25 the administration, but this is a serious issue  46 1 where we need to make sure we have a better 2 ambulance service to make sure we're protected. 3 God forbid there's emergencies, 4 there's good response times, whether we do it 5 internally, we do it externally, we go to 6 private company, we can hold people 7 accountable. Right now we can't do that. Ever 8 since I've been bringing it up, whether I'm out 9 the grocery store, I'm out anywhere, people 10 have emailed me. People have called me, 11 bringing up their concerns as well, their 12 experiences when they had a call for an 13 emergency service. 14 So I'm looking forward to work with 15 the city. I want to work with the city 16 administration and do what's best for our 17 residents. So hopefully this meeting with 18 myself and Councilman McAndrew is a step in 19 that direction. And then again, we can have 20 them come to caucus for all -- all of us. 21 Every Council member can ask 22 questions. We can have an open dialog in front 23 of everybody to do what's right for our 24 residents and work together. That is all we 25 want to do. So I'm excited to finally start  47 1 heading down that path. 2 Some residents concerns, I recently 3 was asked to go up Fawnwood over in West Side, 4 the development up there on Whitetail Drive. 5 The Keyser Valley stormwater project, I want to 6 tip my hat off to the administration, the 7 Mayor. They're doing an excellent job up 8 there. 9 They're improving these 10 neighborhoods. And it's long overdue. And I 11 know it's a big hurdle. And it's a big 12 project. So I want to thank them for their 13 efforts. But in this instance, there is a 14 property that they were originally told that 15 the pipe would go from the road through their 16 property all the way down to the road and exit 17 access. 18 Unfortunately at the time, a 19 resident was unsure about signing a waiver. 20 Now, the city representative spoke with this 21 resident who -- who brought these concerns to 22 me that if this isn't done correctly, it's 23 going to impact their -- their yard and their 24 land going forward because they're going to 25 have a gap that there's no pipe.  48 1 So from the road to where his pipe 2 is, there's nothing. So he was told by a 3 representative of the city -- and I think his 4 neighbors with him. They looked him in the eye 5 and said, Either we're gonna get an easement or 6 we're gonna do eminent domain. We will make 7 sure it's done properly. 8 The project has been going on. They 9 would -- it was not in the plans to run the 10 pipe the full way through. He was very 11 concerned about that. That's why he called me 12 up. In the meantime, the other resident 13 decided, yeah, absolutely, I'll sign the 14 easement. 15 So I thought, oh, this is great. 16 They're just gonna, you know, do a little 17 change back to the original plans and -- and 18 fix it. Unfortunately, they decided not to do 19 that. They said that it's gonna cost over 20 $100,000 to now do that work. 21 And some of that money might have 22 been put to the Keyser Valley pump house, 23 which, again, we need that done as well. So 24 I'm not -- I'm not knocking where the money's 25 going. But I am concerned that why can't we  49 1 just find the money for this? 2 I'm sure it's somewhere -- you know, 3 we were supposedly running surpluses the last 4 few years in the budget. There's no concerns 5 with the budget right now supposedly from what 6 the administration says. 7 I ran to protect and fight for our 8 neighborhoods. This is a long overdue project. 9 Let's do it right the first time so they don't 10 have to come back and dig this yard up years 11 from now or a couple years from now to fix an 12 issue which we know it's inevitable to happen. 13 So I really hope that the 14 administration finds the money to do this while 15 the project is going on so it doesn't cost us 16 even more later on. You know, we can buy a 17 $1.8 million building next door, you know. But 18 again, let's start focusing on our 19 neighborhoods. 20 I think this is, again, something 21 that hopefully the administration -- we would 22 love to help too to maybe find some money for 23 it, but hopefully they will do what's right. 24 Because when you look somebody in the eye and 25 you tell them this is what's going to happen, I  50 1 grew up that's -- you deliver on your word when 2 you -- when you tell somebody that. 3 So hopefully that's what they'll do. 4 I recently was at a meeting with -- I was asked 5 to come to a meeting with representatives from 6 the city and the school district and the county 7 regarding the HUP test. 8 We're still waiting for some letters 9 to come back so to get -- we're trying to get 10 the most updated list possible. It's taken a 11 little longer than I think the city and the 12 school district, you know, wanted. I 13 understand the county is very busy with the 14 assessments for the first time in 60 years and 15 the first time they're doing a HUP test 16 probably ever. 17 So it is a little frustrating. But 18 they did say in the last two and a half years 19 the law firm that we have, we spent $14,000. 20 Can, Frank, can you just ask two things? One, 21 can we have a copy of the contract from two and 22 a half years ago? And then number two, just a 23 breakdown of the cost of that project or cost 24 of what we paid the lawyers for? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I have the  51 1 contract, and I'll get the breakdown. 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. And to 3 circle back, sorry, I missed this point. On 4 the thing up in Fawnwood one on the project 5 there for the stormwater, they're telling me 6 it's $100,000 plus, you know, engineering costs 7 and the easement settlement. Can we have a 8 breakdown, an itemized breakdown of the quote 9 that's -- what's going to cost the $100,000? 10 I understand they might have that 11 information. Could we just see it? I'm just 12 curious to see what that $100,000 goes to. And 13 I'd be interested to see that. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that 15 information. 16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thank you so 17 much. Other residents' concerns, over on 18 Rockwell and McLain Park, I guess last summer 19 there was a lot of disturbance with loud music, 20 people screaming profanities, every -- every 21 Sunday throughout the entire summer starting at 22 10am until dusk at the park. 23 I guess unfortunately, the noise is 24 coming from the baseball field. I'm not sure 25 if it's multiple teams. There's -- the  52 1 resident's saying that there is, you know, 2 bottles on the field, food wrappers, beer 3 bottles, water bottles, garbage all over. 4 Can we just have somebody look into 5 that? I guess it's something that was going on 6 at the park last year that there's some 7 concerns about it. I don't think it was 8 addressed. But can we take a look at it? I 9 believe it's every Sunday now. 10 Again, we want to have these parks. 11 We want to make sure people utilize them. But 12 also, we do want to make sure the neighborhoods 13 aren't affected by it. So can we just have 14 somebody look into that. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 16 McAndrew. 17 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Downtown 18 Scranton, 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue, I 19 received an e-mail today, I guess that with a 20 lot of the work they have been doing over there 21 on the roads that there's concerns about 22 crossing the street there. 23 The gentleman who sent me 24 information, I can send over some pictures and 25 all the e-mails with some of his ideas. He  53 1 actually works for the engineering company 2 that's office is right there. 3 I guess since the construction, the 4 island is gone. There used to be like a 5 crosswalk island. There's no signs for a 6 crosswalk. So I think it's just making sure 7 people are alerted that that is a crosswalk. 8 And he said there's a lot of close calls that 9 he's seen since those changes happen. 10 So I'll forward you over the e-mail 11 and hopefully somebody from the city can go 12 down and inspect that. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yeah, I'll have the 14 DPW director, look at it tomorrow. 15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. Thank 16 you. Martin Street, there -- it needs a sign. 17 It's missing a sign at the one intersection. I 18 forget what intersection. I have it in my 19 notes. I'll e-mail that over as well. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: Thank you. 21 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And then 22 finally, 448 Oak Street, I think it's where a 23 new project is going. There's illegal dumping. 24 I kind of got -- I was sent a picture earlier. 25 Can we have somebody go over there and check it  54 1 and see if they need to clean up that area? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 3 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And that's 4 everything I have. Thank you so much. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 6 you. I think it's a good idea that you're 7 going to have that meeting with the 8 administration regarding ambulance services. 9 Hopefully we get there -- what their concerns 10 are. 11 I think it's a good idea to have 12 that meeting prior to bringing them in for 13 caucus because at that point maybe we address 14 some of those concerns and how we can move 15 forward next. Mr. Mark McAndrew, any motions 16 or comments? 17 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yeah, I'd like 18 to comment as well on what I've seen returned 19 to us regarding a meeting. So, you know, okay, 20 we'll take the meeting with Chief Judge, me and 21 my colleague here. But, you know, so we find 22 out what the concerns are regarding the 23 ambulance service or their ideas. 24 But he said he's also happy to 25 attend the caucus if it's still deemed  55 1 necessary. Well, I think it will be deemed 2 necessary because I want him to present what 3 he's going to present to us, to all of you. 4 So we'll start that. We'll get that 5 in motion maybe next week, Councilman McAndrew, 6 we'll set something up. 7 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, let's set 8 it up. 9 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Great. Thank 10 you. Thank you. Also last week I inquired 11 about what I heard about a pickleball league. 12 And, you know, on a Sunday, and is someone 13 personally benefiting from it and how does, you 14 know, the code written with regards to the Rec 15 Authority, how does it pertain to that if it's 16 allowed? 17 I didn't get any answers back. So 18 I'm just going to circle around. And I know 19 there might be some dialog going on, but I 20 didn't get the answers back. If I'll ask Mr. 21 Voldenberg and our Solicitor, you know, reach 22 out to -- reach out to the Rec Authority and 23 see what's their take on this. 24 Obviously, someone approved it. 25 Let's find out who did. If they did, then, you  56 1 know, the questions that I have, they should be 2 able to answer or already did. All right? 3 Thank you. Also, with regards Mr. Coyne's 4 inquiry was -- was one of mine a few times 5 about the gift cards. So maybe, maybe I need 6 my memory refreshed. 7 But as to the update or the status 8 of not this year coming, I mean, okay, I'm glad 9 to see if they're -- it's going to happen 10 again. I know they're based on merit. I know 11 people take pride in their properties. I love 12 to see them recognized with these -- with these 13 cards. But the questions you pose and the ones 14 I have weren't answered. 15 It's just the answer I received is 16 just another round are coming for the good 17 neighbors in 2026. I'm thrilled. So but could 18 we redirect our question or maybe clarify our 19 inquiry with regards to the questions that me 20 and Mr. Coyne posed? 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up. 22 MR. MARK MCANDREW. Thanks, just to 23 you know, let's get the answer -- get an 24 update. That should be simple, so -- yeah, so 25 I'm also -- as Chairman of the Committee on  57 1 Public Safety, I am ecstatic as mister -- as 2 Les who was here earlier that the State Senate 3 Bill advanced, a Bill 1284, you know, for the 4 offense of an officer from as low as 7 years to 5 20 years mandatory sentence. 6 Or even our own DA who is doing a 7 fantastic job stressed in the paper that the 8 current framework leaves the door open for 9 lesser sentences. All right, that's 10 unacceptable. So this legislation has to be 11 passed or, you know, we because, you know, our 12 very own motto for the Scranton Police 13 Department is protect and serve. 14 And they do an outstanding, stellar 15 job with this residence and we're very proud of 16 them. But I think we also need to protect and 17 serve them. And as part of our responsibility 18 is advance -- is, you know, finalizing this 19 legislation so -- and so maybe it becomes a 20 deterrent because of the increase of sentences 21 that will protect and serve our own law 22 enforcement, not just in Scranton, but across 23 the state. And that is all I have. Thank you. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 25 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments at  58 1 this time? 2 MR. FLYNN: Yes, Thank you. First, 3 Mr. Voldenberg, I know yesterday I had messaged 4 you about the dumping over at 448 Oak Street. 5 Did we -- did we forward that along? Did we 6 get any response if they were aware of it or -- 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I sent that out and 8 they -- I believe they assigned someone to go 9 out today. But I don't have a status. 10 MR. FLYNN: Okay, perfect. Thank 11 you. The other resident concern I have is 12 Bulwer Street, right at the edge at the bottom 13 of the hill when you leave Isaac Tripp where 14 all the -- where all the busses leave from. 15 I know I brought this up over the 16 winter and DPW was great, went right out with 17 some cold patch for a temporary patch. But I 18 know all those potholes have opened back up now 19 and have gotten really bad. So if we could 20 contact DPW about that to maybe go get some hot 21 patch or some more permanent fix over there 22 because from what I've been told, it's not good 23 for the busses as they're leaving and going to 24 school over there. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll report that in  59 1 the morning. 2 MR. FLYNN: All right. The only 3 other thing I have is, you know, as I was 4 looking last week at some of the responses to 5 the questions and the one around the ambulance 6 service and the response -- the one response 7 was we have requested an update from Fitch and 8 Associates regarding ambulance services in the 9 city. 10 So I took it upon myself to look up 11 Fitch and Associates, who is this that they're 12 going to get a -- they're going to get an 13 update from what ambulance services are. And 14 you know, going back and looking at some of the 15 prior caucuses that prior Councils had with 16 representatives from PA Ambulance as well as 17 the administration, some of the conversations 18 at that point in time were around the city 19 bringing the ambulance service and the EMT 20 services in house under the fire department. 21 And I found a few articles doing 22 some research. And one of them that really 23 stood out to me was in Fort Worth, Texas. So 24 for 40 years in Fort Worth, they had a company 25 called MedStar that operated the ambulance  60 1 service there, no direct taxpayer subsidy, 2 completely selfsustaining through insurance 3 reimbursements. So city officials and Fitch -- 4 Fitch did a study. And it came back that that 5 promoted the city takeover of the ambulance 6 services, creating efficiencies, improving 7 response times. 8 They repeatedly said response times 9 would improve, services would become more 10 coordinated, operations would be streamlined, 11 also the city would generate revenue from 12 billing. So basically, the sales pitch was 13 that bringing EMS in house would create an 14 efficient model that would generate revenue for 15 the city. Great. Sounds awesome. 16 So once this was implemented -- 17 implemented off the recommendations of Fitch 18 and Associates, the EMS budget was roughly 87 19 to 89 million dollar annually. Now granted, 20 Fort Worth, Texas is a far bigger city than 21 Scranton -- but 87 to 89 million dollar 22 budgeted annually. 23 The revenue generated from this was 24 65 million annually, which leaves a 20 plus 25 million dollar taxpayer gap, right? So the  61 1 other issue is response times when they brought 2 it in house actually got worse. 3 The goal was 90 percent of calls 4 under eight minutes. And what happened was 90 5 percent of calls ended up being under 11 6 minutes and 9 seconds, which was an average of 7 50 seconds slower than when MedStar had the 8 ambulance contract in Fort Worth, Texas. 9 The city also, of course, then 10 became responsible for all liabilities, all 11 future costs. You know, once a government 12 absorbs the service, taxpayers inherit every 13 future liability. So what began as a promise 14 of efficiency, revenue generation became a 15 permanent, multi million dollar annual 16 obligation on the backs of the taxpayers. 17 So I'm thrilled that my colleagues 18 are going to have this conversation with Chief 19 Judge. These conversations are continuing to 20 move forward. But what the reality is, is we 21 need a permanent solution for the city of 22 Scranton. 23 I don't believe personally that an 24 in house service, even if that's still on the 25 table is even -- is even possible with -- with  62 1 how much it would cost and the liabilities that 2 would come with that. 3 But we really need to start moving 4 this conversation forward as to what that 5 permanent solution looks like for both the city 6 to be able to hold the ambulance provider 7 accountable, but also for the ambulance 8 provider to understand that the city is there 9 with them as well in this. 10 So I'm excited for those 11 conversations to happen. I would like the 12 caucus to happen I believe whether -- however 13 that conversation with my colleagues goes to 14 have that caucus to really put our chips down 15 on the table and see where we're at to move 16 forward. But it -- but just happy they're 17 happening. 18 I just wanted to put that out there 19 that sometimes, you know, a company like this, 20 they could paint a rosy picture. But the grass 21 isn't always greener on the other side. And we 22 need to keep that in mind as we move forward 23 with this. So that's all I have for this 24 evening. Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.  63 1 I was part of this Council when PA Ambulance 2 came in for caucus. I think they did a great 3 job that night. And they answered a lot of 4 questions. And they really enlightened me. 5 Some of the things that Mr. Flynn said there 6 are some of the concerns that I had. 7 I've seen it in the school district. 8 I've seen it here in the city where companies 9 come in and they guarantee proficiency or 10 efficiency and it doesn't pan out in the end. 11 So I can't wait to hear what comes out of the 12 meeting that's had. And we'll see what we do 13 about scheduling a caucus moving forward. 14 Prior to coming in tonight I got a 15 complaint or a concern about 925 Lackawanna 16 Avenue. It's a pave cut that is right before 17 St. Francis Cabrini Ave. And it's a pave cut 18 that's starting to fail and sink if we can just 19 send that over to the proper department, Mr. 20 Voldenberg. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: To add onto the gift 23 card inquiries, can we just ask how many gift 24 cards were passed out at this point in time, 25 how many do we have left and then how many they  64 1 plan to hand out this May? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: From some of my 4 questions from last week, I had asked about -- 5 actually it came from Fourth Order, one of the 6 residents had asked about the street sign 7 project. So I had -- we had sent it to the 8 administration for latest update on our 9 streets, our street sign project. 10 And it said per the project 11 management office, the street sign project 12 contracted through Mack Signs in 2025 has been 13 completed by this past December -- so December 14 of 2025. DPW Traffic Divisions are going to 15 continue to maintain and replace signs. But 16 that contract has been completed as of 17 December. 18 Another question -- let's see, there 19 was -- I had some concerns from East Mountain 20 about a property across the street. It was at 21 the bottom of East Mountain Road regarding the 22 property across from the Salvation Army. There 23 was overgrowth there. 24 There was some refuse or trash 25 there. And the barriers in the area they  65 1 felt -- I guess the residents felt those 2 barriers could have looked a little nicer. 3 They felt they were secondhand barriers. 4 But I asked the -- we sent it over 5 and asked about if we could find out who owns 6 this property, any cleanup on the property. 7 And the answer that I got back was that the 8 city wasn't going to be replacing any of these 9 decaying concrete barriers which was not the 10 question that I had asked. 11 I just wanted to find out who -- 12 who's the owner of the property and where we 13 could go with cleanup and holding that owner 14 accountable. So if we could just find the 15 owner and hold that piece of -- piece of land 16 accountable for cleanup. 17 We did have a piece of legislation 18 about the 3100 block of Cedar Avenue turning 19 that into a one way. A lot of questions did 20 arise from that and then Mr. Voldenberg has 21 been going back and forth and getting some of 22 those answers. 23 Some of the last questions to be 24 asked are -- so a concern that Crane Street is 25 narrow. So if we could just ask the City  66 1 Engineer to take a look at this and see about 2 the measurement of the street on Crane Avenue 3 to see if it's too narrow. 4 There's an intersecting -- 5 intersection there that's a three way stop. 6 And can we just find out from the City Engineer 7 if that three way stop is going to be modified 8 or if it's going to remain the way it is. 9 And then if the City Engineer is 10 adding additional signs including those for the 11 church that was stated last week, if we could 12 find out if that -- if the legislation or the 13 report is going to be amended or they're going 14 to revise that legislation before it passes. 15 I also had -- it's a five year 16 permit for this building project. Do we know 17 when the developer is going to be breaking 18 ground? And then the last question I had was 19 in the permitting. So we did get some 20 communication from the developer that the last 21 piece of the permitting process was that 22 the -- this condition be cleared up before they 23 get their permit. 24 So can we find out who put the 25 condition of the one-way street being part of  67 1 their permitting process? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Last one 4 would be, thank you, Mr. Voldenberg. We sent 5 over some inquiries about the 400 block of 6 Colfax Avenue about street lighting. So thank 7 you very much for sending that over. We didn't 8 get anything back on that yet, did we, Frank? 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: No. They have to 10 look at that. But it looks like it will be 11 done. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you. 13 And then there was a condemned property at 421 14 Colfax Avenue that you also forwarded over as 15 well as a handicap ramp that was starting to 16 pool water. So the City Engineer is going to 17 send someone from the team over to assess that 18 situation. So thank you for sending those over 19 about that area on Colfax Avenue. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: You're welcome, 21 sir. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: And I believe that is 23 all I have for tonight. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
