SCHUSTER: Please remain 4 standing for a moment of silent reflection for 5 our service men and women throughout the world 6 and for those who have passed away in our 7 community, especially recently we've had four 8 retired police officers who have passed, 9 Patrolman James Battle, Traffic Sergeant 10 Garfield Green, Sergeant John O'Shea, and 11 Captain Harry Hughes as well as Charles 12 Williams, and Catherine Kay Crockenberg. Roll 13 call, please. 14 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Here. 16 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew. 17 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Present. 18 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Mark McAndrew. 19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Present. 20 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Flynn. 21 MR. FLYNN: Here. 22 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Present. Please 24 dispense with the reading of the minutes. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.  4 1 3-A. CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED MAY 6, 2 2026, FROM BA/ARPA DIRECTOR REGARDING ARPA 3 QUARTERLY REPORT DATED MAY 5, 2026. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Are there any 5 comments on any of the Third Order items? I 6 know there was a question that came up during 7 caucus. I don't know if you want to wait until 8 Fifth Order to ask that. 9 MR. MCANDREW: I was going to do it 10 in Fifth. That's fine. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. No 12 problem. If not, received and filed. Do any 13 Council members have any announcements at this 14 time? 15 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, just one quick 16 one. So on May 25th, Memorial Day, the City of 17 Scranton Department of Public Works will be 18 closed. So garbage and recycling will be one 19 day behind that week. I'll announce it again 20 next week. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 22 Are there any other announcements at this time? 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have a few of 24 them. First, the Parks and Rec, their 25 department, they're running a free cooking  5 1 class for children ages 8 through 12. And 2 that's going to take place at Weston Field on 3 May 12th from 5 to 6 p.m. 4 And they'll be making cheese cake 5 that night. So once again, that's a free 6 cooking class. Sign up through our Parks and 7 Rec Department. And also related to parks, I 8 received notice from the Hill Neighborhood 9 Association that they hope to set up a Little 10 Free Library in Darcy Park over on 900 Victor 11 Avenue. 12 So they wanted us to let people know 13 about that. And I know my kids love stopping 14 at the free libraries that we have around the 15 neighborhood. So it's a great opportunity to 16 be able to pick up some books or drop some off 17 for others to enjoy. And our Parks and Rec 18 Department did assist with getting that set up 19 there. 20 And then one last announcement, the 21 West Scranton Garbage Olympics are coming up 22 again. And it's something I've participated in 23 for a few years now that NeighborWorks hosts. 24 And that's going to be taking place this year 25 Saturday, May 30th. And it's a competition  6 1 style garbage pickup around the neighborhood. 2 And so you meet at the NeighborWorks office. 3 And I think they'll be meeting up there around 4 10:30. But then it starts from 11 to 1. 5 That's when it takes place. 6 So you could sign up through 7 NeighborWorks if you are interested in 8 participating in that. You can get a team 9 together. It's actually fun to do and a great 10 way to help clean up our neighborhoods. That's 11 it. Thank you. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other 13 announcements? 14 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have 15 one. The spring spaghetti dinner for the 16 Victor Alfieri is this week. It's take in -- 17 takeout or eat in. It is on 206 North Main 18 Avenue in Scranton, Wednesday and Thursday. 19 It's four to five for takeout only. And then 20 five to eight eat in or take out. 21 And for adults it will be $12 and 22 children it will be $5. They always do a great 23 job there. It's a great meal. So looking 24 forward to stopping this week. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.  7 1 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Okay. So, I got 2 two if you don't mind. First, a reminder that 3 I mentioned last week, the Armed Forces Parade 4 is this Saturday, May 16th at 11:00. It begins 5 at the Gino Merli Center. It ends at 6 Courthouse Square. There is other festivities 7 after that. 8 There's a lot of it that you follow 9 on social media. Also, as the Chairman for the 10 Committee on Public Safety and a Member of the 11 Scranton City Council, I want to recognize 12 National Police Week. It's a time to thank the 13 men and women of the Scranton Police Department 14 and officers across our region for the work 15 they do every day to keep our community safe. 16 Policing takes courage, dedication 17 and a real commitment to serving others. We 18 are grateful not only to our officers but also 19 their families who support them. We also 20 remember those who gave their lives in the line 21 of duty. Their sacrifice will never be 22 forgotten. 23 So to all of our officers, thank you 24 for your service. And I know Scranton 25 appreciates you. And that's all I have. Thank  8 1 you. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 4 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker 6 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz. 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 8 Scranton. I'm still waiting to see the new 9 union contract for the DPW on the city's 10 website. I know that somebody has to add all 11 the amendments into the copy. And then the 12 lawyers have to give it their blessing. 13 But keep in mind that it's a 14 document in which taps into the taxpayer's 15 wallets. And so anything that is a document 16 which affects our tax requirements should be 17 public on the website. And it should be done 18 promptly as far as I'm concerned. 19 With regard to Item 7-A, the 20 appointment of Sam Kuchwara to the Recreation 21 Authority, I don't know the gentleman. But 22 everything I've heard about him is, that he is 23 a very, very upstanding citizen and a credit to 24 any board he would sit on. 25 But did he ever submit his resume  9 1 other than the picture of him with the 2 alligator? 3 MR. SCHUSTER: We did get an updated 4 resume. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Would you 6 add that in maybe next week in Third Order? 7 The reason I ask is, he's a septuagenarian like 8 me. He's in his 70s obviously. But what the 9 city needs is to start tapping into a younger 10 crowd. And we have people who are actually 11 volunteering their services to help out the 12 city on boards and commissions. 13 I know of one lady who submitted her 14 resume for this position and didn't even get 15 the courtesy of an interview. So please, you 16 know, we have very talented people. We're just 17 shooting ourselves in the foot. It should not 18 be who you know but what you know. 19 And you cannot expect people in 20 their 70s and 80s and 90s to carry the load 21 forever when you've got younger people willing 22 and able -- and this lady, she sent me a 23 resume. And she's more than qualified. 24 So I just don't understand why they 25 didn't even give her an interview. Maybe if  10 1 this position, you know, they felt they wanted 2 Sam, that's fine. But she could have fit a 3 number of other positions. So that's just my 4 two cents for what it's worth. 5 With regard to Item 5-C, the 6 amendment to the capital budget, I don't have 7 issues with what they're trying to amend. But 8 it's just that wasn't it just like a few months 9 ago that this capital budget got approved? And 10 I don't understand why all these amendments 11 have suddenly come to light. 12 I could understand maybe the Myrtle 13 Street bridge replacement. Then I looked at 14 where's the money's coming from. And most of 15 it is coming out of the capital reserve fund 16 spending plan which is also being amended to be 17 increased by 1.2 million dollars. 18 But it still didn't make up the 19 total. So $192,000 is being taken out of the 20 city's contingency fund. Now, that's a 21 $500,000 fund. So almost 40 percent is going 22 to go to amending the capital budget. But keep 23 in mind the purpose of the contingency fund is 24 to respond to emergencies, weather emergencies. 25 And we've had them in the past.  11 1 Litigation, maybe the city gets sued 2 and has to pay a court award that it wasn't 3 prepared to pay. So I'm just kind of curious. 4 And I'll be watching very closely how the 5 capital budget is prepared for next year. But 6 we had to amend it by 1.44 million dollars. 7 That's quite an increase. 8 And let's see. Also, I was looking 9 at the responses to City Council. And Mr. Sean 10 McAndrew had asked about the HUP tests. And it 11 says in the response that the invoices are 12 attached. Well, when I downloaded and I 13 printed those responses, I didn't see any of 14 the invoices. Were they simply inadvertently 15 not attached? 16 MR. SCHUSTER: They did come in an 17 e-mail to us. But they weren't in that exact 18 file. Were those additional documents also be 19 linked to that on the website? 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: They were included 21 as attachments. I could forward them to Miss 22 Hodowanitz in the morning. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yes, if you would, 24 please. I'd like to see what we're talking 25 about in terms of the invoices. Thank you.  12 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 2 speaker is Mike Mancini. 3 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council, 4 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Thank you, Council 5 President Schuster, and the rest of Council. 6 What brings me here tonight, part 10 of my 7 series, the State of Scranton. What do you 8 want to talk about? 9 You know, when you have 75,000 10 people, there's a lot to talk about. When you 11 have 25 square miles, you have a lot to talk 12 about. When you have infrastructure that's 13 starting to really fail, you have a lot to talk 14 about. When you have call after police call 15 not resembling the calls from even 5, 10 years 16 ago, it brings people's awareness to the 17 problems that we have, the word impact. 18 These things -- these calls just 19 don't impact a neighborhood. They impact 20 communities. Data centers, they impact 21 communities. When people stand up and rally 22 against things like this, good things happen. 23 Now, I've seen good things come out 24 of this Council since the beginning of January. 25 Mr. Schuster, I applaud you.  13 1 The change in Council and the 2 structure of Council looks so much better. You 3 know, it shows progress and wanting to move 4 this city forward. And this is what we need. 5 Each one of you are parents. Three of you -- 6 or two of you work directly with children. 7 And you know the importance of our 8 future. You know the importance of where we 9 want to go. You know the importance of trying 10 to fix things before that railroad system 11 becomes reality. There's a lot to do here in 12 Scranton. 13 And over the past nine weeks I 14 brought many things to this Council. I have 15 mentioned things for the past couple of years. 16 And as a parent who lost a child, I might be a 17 little bit too persistent because I know the 18 word impact and how it affects me personally. 19 I've asked this administration about 20 the drug prevalency overdose numbers. I asked 21 many other things, but to no avail. I would 22 hope that in the future as we move past what I 23 want to call a dial in consultant for a Mayor, 24 we need more than that. 25 What has happened here is a  14 1 travesty. Look at our streets. Look at our 2 roads. Look at the police calls. This is gone 3 beyond good taste and reason both. We have 4 approximately two years to try to dig 5 ourselves out of this mess. 6 Now, I've come before this Council 7 week after week, month after month just trying 8 to make you aware of things. And a lot of 9 times you say that you do things behind the 10 scenes. But until you bring it to the people 11 directly, they don't see it. 12 You know, I know each one of you 13 personally. And I could say that you're of 14 good character, you know, and you want to do 15 what's best. 16 The hardest thing that you would 17 have to overcome is this administration. Nine 18 DPW Directors, seven park directors, you know, 19 in seven years. We have an extra set of locked 20 doors. The city is in lockdown. And for what? 21 That's not a good look. 22 Certainly is not a good look for our 23 future. So I ask that each one of you uphold 24 to your part. I ask each one of you to go 25 above and beyond the things that are required  15 1 of you because now we need you the most. 2 We have a Mayor and an 3 administration that is just looking out for 4 themselves. We've seen it. We've seen it time 5 and time again. They either do too much or 6 they don't do enough. Look at the pet 7 population with the stray cats. 8 And we had so much money. And they 9 just decided to put it towards other things 10 like parks, 27 million dollars. I don't see 11 it. They have taken pools away. They have 12 taken things away from children. And one thing 13 that they can't take away is the good character 14 and the good quality of people here in 15 Scranton. 16 So I just ask each of you as the 17 face of the city, do your part because we need 18 you now more than ever. Good evening, Council. 19 And thank you to all of our brave police 20 officers. Good evening. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 22 Next up is Les Spindler. 23 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 24 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and 25 homeowner. Last week I told about going up  16 1 Euclid Avenue. I was going up the right way. 2 Somebody came the wrong way. Well, this Sunday 3 again, the same person did the same thing. The 4 person in a silver SUV. I recognized him. 5 Again, his window was closed but I 6 yelled a few choice words to him. Something's 7 got to be done with this. There might be -- 8 there's no more -- there's no other signs put 9 up. But they're not obeying the signs. 10 Something's got to be done. 11 If I get hit in my car even if I'm 12 not hurt, I'm suing the city. I'm getting a 13 lawyer and I'm suing the city. They should be 14 liable for this. It's ridiculous. This idiot 15 twice -- he did it twice with me. I'm sure 16 they are not the only two times he's done it. 17 If he did it with me twice, I'm sure 18 he's doing it all the time. Something's got 19 to be done. I think a good idea would be 20 there's these things that I've seen in parking 21 lots, they're called trettles. 22 They come up out of the ground, put 23 them across there. If you're going the wrong 24 way, you get flat tires. That's what they 25 should do because it's out of control.  17 1 Another -- another traffic thing, 2 went to the Garden Path last week where I 3 always got my plants and everything. They told 4 me when Nay Aug is open eventually if the Green 5 Ridge Street bridge ever gets fixed, there's 6 going to be no left turn off Nay Aug Avenue 7 onto Green Ridge Street. 8 You could only go right. Don't know 9 why that is. But they don't want us making 10 left turns in the city anymore. Okay, I think 11 it was three weeks ago you tabled the kratom 12 legislation. And you said, oh, you're not 13 going to let it linger on. It is lingering on. 14 Do you plan on voting on that at all soon? 15 MR. SCHUSTER: It will be coming up 16 soon. I mean, conversations are still being 17 had and they're still going in a positive 18 direction. 19 MR. SPINDLER: I don't know if 20 anybody saw the paper. There was a big article 21 in Saturday's paper. I'm going to read just 22 parts of it. This doctor from Southern 23 California said, It's highly addictive. Even 24 people who aren't addicts said Dr. Joe DeSanto 25 who works with several Orange County addiction  18 1 treatment centers. 2 I've seen cross trainers and 3 athletes coming in saying, what the hell is 4 going on? And he went on to say, sometimes 5 people in recovery try to relax. And then they 6 are hooked. The detox manage that we use -- 7 management we use for opioids doesn't touch it. 8 Fentanyl detox is easier and more 9 manageable. It's an evil drug DeSanto said. 10 I'm scared for the general public. 11 And then the headline is, Gas 12 Station Heroin Or Legal Morphine Can Be Deadly, 13 But It's Just a Mouse Click Away. If it's a 14 mouse click away, that's even more proof that 15 you should ban it. And then it would be up to 16 the federal government to do something. 17 Because if you could go on your 18 computer and get it, that's the FDA should do 19 something about that. You should get this out 20 of Eighth Order and pass it already because the 21 Mayor is just dragging her feet like everything 22 else in this area. 23 Last Friday I'm sitting on my couch 24 and I see a black pickup go by with a yellow 25 light blinking. And as it got past my house I  19 1 could see writing on the door. It said Pennoni 2 on it. Oh, boy, I wonder if they're actually 3 out doing their job or if they're just out for 4 a Sunday drive. 5 By the looks of our streets, I think 6 it's the latter because they're not doing their 7 jobs. Lastly, I'm tired of talking about this. 8 But Donald Trump said he wanted to build a 9 ballroom. And he said no tax dollars will be 10 used on that. 11 Well, once again he lied because 12 last week on the news his Republican led 13 Congress said they could give him a billion 14 dollars for the ballroom without any Democratic 15 votes. So I hope everybody remembers that in 16 November for the midterm elections and vote 17 these lying Republicans out of office because 18 that's all they do and they're no good for this 19 country. Thank you for your time. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is 21 Lenny Srebro. 22 MR. SREBRO: Good evening, Council, 23 Lenny Srebro, Keyser Valley. I'd like to touch 24 on what Mark brought up before about the 25 Veterans parade this Saturday at 11:00,  20 1 downtown Scranton. 2 There's also going to be a parade of 3 classic cars, muscle cars, and antique cars. 4 And I'll even have a couple of my hotrods 5 there, you know, so come on out. There's -- 6 and it's going to be a car show after the 7 parade downtown. And there's supposed to be 8 food trucks and whatever to make it a day. 9 Okay, about a month ago I came in to 10 talk about a pod container parked in front of 11 my property. Did anybody look into it -- the 12 zoning ordinance? 13 MR. SCHUSTER: We did and Mr. 14 Voldenberg had sent it over for the city to 15 take a look at it. 16 MR. SREBRO: Well, nobody came by. 17 But you know what, I looked -- I researched it 18 and I'd like to read what it says about this 19 pod. Parking a pod container on the city 20 street in Scranton for a year is generally 21 prohibited as city ordinance strictly regulate 22 the temporary use of public right-of-ways for 23 storage. 24 These are the Zoning City Codes. 25 Permits are required. I know they don't have  21 1 no permits. And time -- and there's time 2 limits. Temporary storage containers on city 3 streets require permits with regulations 4 typically limiting on street placement to short 5 term temporary periods often around five to 6 seven days. 7 It's been there a year now. 8 Prohibition in residence districts is unlawful 9 to park trailers or vehicles other than 10 standard cars and trucks on public streets in 11 residence districts unless actively engaged in 12 construction or loading and certainly not for 13 long-term storage. 14 All they're using that is for 15 storing long-term. There is no construction 16 going on their house or anything like that. 17 And it's also obstructing traffic. I know I 18 have it here where the measurements are 19 supposed to be 20 feet I believe from the 20 corner of the intersection. 21 This is about 6 or 10 feet from 22 that. It's dangerous. You have to -- the pod 23 container is right there on the corner. And 24 you have to creep out slowly that no cars are 25 coming. You know, it's dangerous. And from  22 1 time to time I can hear tires squealing and 2 it's not me burning out. It's cars hitting the 3 brakes because of the situation there. 4 A permit -- a fee is $5 dollar per 5 day or higher depending on the specific 6 ordinance. Leaving the container on the street 7 for a year constructs nonconforming use or is 8 abandoned -- is an abandoned obstruction which 9 violates zoning regulations. 10 Fines can result ranging from $100 11 to a thousand dollars per day. The city also 12 has the authority to remove illegally parked 13 containers and potentially impose liens on 14 property to recover costs. How wrong can it 15 possibly be? And, you know, the pod is an ugly 16 looking thing. 17 It's not in nice condition. It's 18 paint peeling and rusted and all of that. 19 There's debris piled up in front of the doors 20 from, you know, when we do get rains and it 21 brings the debris down. 22 A number of the residents there all 23 agree it's a really ugly looking thing and 24 asked me can you do something about it, Len, 25 when you go to Council meetings? I'm trying,  23 1 you know. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Where is it actually 3 located? Is it Merrifield and Jackson -- 4 MR. SREBRO: North Merrifield and 5 Lafayette Street. Can't miss it. It's right 6 on the corner right in front of my property. 7 I don't understand why he didn't put it in 8 front of his property which is around the 9 corner. 10 But when he came to me and said I'm 11 going to have a pod here a couple weeks, no 12 problem. But a year later nothing is getting 13 done. Thank you. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. If we 15 could put that in and let them know it's been 16 there for over a year. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: It's presently with 18 the Traffic Division for the Police Department. 19 I'll follow up. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 21 MR. FLYNN: Mr. Voldenberg, in that 22 time is there any way to get code enforcement 23 up there to start issuing some sort of fines 24 for this or does it have to go through traffic? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: They were included  24 1 in the request, but I'll follow up. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Our next speaker is 3 Ron Ellman. 4 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 5 Now that we're nearing elections again, you 6 could bet your last dollar of an enthusiasm 7 display of achievements from our absentee 8 Mayor known for her BS the last five years how 9 well all Scrantonians are, especially those 50 10 that were in the paper last month that lost 11 their most prized possession they ever will 12 have, their homes to foreclosures -- 50 13 foreclosures. 14 It's heartbreaking. One of them is 15 on my street, been advertised three or four 16 houses away. To make things worse the lady's 17 dog got run over by a speeding car while she 18 was trying to catch it. North Main Avenue is 19 like a racetrack and nothing's done. 20 There's these greasy guys going by 21 day and night with their radios 60, 80 miles an 22 hour in these no muffler cars. Nobody seems to 23 care. You know, for five years this Mayor has 24 allowed a bunch of tax cheats downtown to 25 financially enrich themselves, bars,  25 1 restaurants, rentals on tax exempt buildings, 2 just a loophole in the law that something could 3 be done about. 4 Cognetti and Welby too obtained 5 office by a deliberate lie that they were 6 independents. I'm an independent. I've been 7 one for years and years before -- before Trump 8 to be -- you have to forego local elections. 9 To be an independent means you are free from 10 the control of others. 11 You're not committed to a political 12 party or candidate. You don't have to lie 13 through your teeth to say you're an independent 14 to get votes falsely from a bunch of naive 15 people that don't know what they're doing. 16 It's unbelievable how many people 17 I've talked to that shouldn't be allowed to 18 vote. They don't know -- they just don't know 19 anything about government or what's going on in 20 the world. 21 Now, let me -- let me say something 22 real quick before you throw me out. Six, eight 23 years ago I stood here and I mentioned that the 24 Taylor Police Department there was a notice in 25 there for free gun locks. There should be --  26 1 they should be mandated. There should be some 2 kind of city, county, state law requiring gun 3 locks, especially if they're free. 4 Just think of the -- it's not -- 5 it's not a -- just an occasion. There's 6 articles in the paper often about injuries and 7 deaths, especially children. It's 8 heartbreaking. I know someone that lost a 9 child. 10 Well, it was their own fault. They 11 had an unlocked gun. This was years ago. 12 Yesterday at Geisinger, Dunmore in the parking 13 lot I'm watching this one-legged fellow pushing 14 one of those little chairs you could sit in. 15 There wasn't a single car in the handicap space 16 that had a flag or a placard or an auto license 17 plate. 18 This goes on all over the city. You 19 got a sign there saying you'll fine them -- 20 every time I sit in the car at Gerrity's, all 21 around me are young people coming and going 22 with, you know, nothing's wrong with them. 23 Here, the one-legged man that served the 24 country can't get a parking place. 25 And this garbage that the city gives  27 1 2 million dollars to won't allow him to have a 2 place downtown. I don't know why something 3 can't be done for these veterans, especially -- 4 or any handicap. Thank you. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 6 speaker is Lee Morgan. 7 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council. 8 First thing I have here is, the city is talking 9 about closing an alley between Linden Street 10 and Mulberry Street and erecting a gate. I'm 11 opposed to that. 12 Okay, those alleys were designed to 13 fight fires from both sides of the street from 14 the alley and from the street on the other side 15 of the alley. I think it's a public safety 16 issue. And I don't think we should be closing 17 any alleys because of why they were designed 18 and why they were placed throughout the city. 19 The other thing I have is, you know, 20 we're having a discussion here about a pod. I 21 think I'd go to the district justice and do a 22 civil complaint. I'd name the city and the 23 person who owns the pod. And I'd bring them in 24 front of the magistrate and let the magistrate 25 take care of it because I think that would be  28 1 the most constructive way to handle it because 2 sooner or later it's probably going to end up 3 there anyhow. The other thing is, last week a 4 Council member talked about representing the 5 residents and the work they're doing. 6 And this is just my opinion. I'll 7 call it chain of possession for lack of a 8 better terminology. Over the course of 100 9 years, there's a multiple councils named. They 10 pass the possession of the city from one 11 Council to the next Council to the next Council 12 to the next Council. 13 Well, the city's been in decline for 14 a hundred years. Its population has declined. 15 Blight has overtaken major parts of the city. 16 And every single one of those people that were 17 elected swore that they were representing the 18 residents of the city. 19 So there is something really wrong 20 because if all of these people are representing 21 this city, I don't know what happened. I 22 really don't. You know, we get such short riff 23 from the people we elect. And I'd like to 24 highlight something because people talk about 25 Trump here.  29 1 And I appreciate everybody's 2 opinion. But, you know, some little girl got 3 killed near Chicago. Sheridan Gorman got shot 4 by an illegal who came across our border and 5 killed. I think she was like 18 years old. We 6 have massive amounts of crime and murder being 7 done by illegals in our country. 8 And my point is this. The people 9 who left them cross our border were elected. 10 They all know what their obligations were under 11 the law. And they ignored it. And instead of 12 somebody trying to sue them and extinguish 13 their sovereign immunity and even a President 14 and throw them in jail. 15 That's the kind of people we have 16 representing us, okay? We talked about the 17 University of Scranton and all the other things 18 that are going on here about the non-profits. 19 Which one of the Council members here or the 20 Mayor are petitioning the state to do something 21 about it? Who's helping us? Nobody. 22 Who's building a small business 23 incubator to create jobs in the community? 24 Nobody. Who's taking care of feral cats? 25 Nobody. The city's collecting over 1.5 million  30 1 dollars in a franchise fee for a public access 2 channel. But yet, the public is locked out of 3 it. Who's doing something about it? Nobody. 4 And it just doesn't have to do with 5 the Council. It has to do with the State 6 Representatives, the State Senators. And when 7 it goes to the public access channel, the 8 United States Senate and the Congress created 9 that channel. 10 And in the legislation it said 11 exactly what the channel was for. Now, here's 12 the real question. Should a mayor be allowed 13 to close the public access component of that 14 channel in contradiction to the federal law 15 that created it? 16 Should that be able to take place? 17 Because what about your rights to free speech 18 because that's why that channel was created. 19 And how can that channel be used to make the 20 city better and to bring issues together of all 21 the residents to present not just to their City 22 Council and their mayor, but their State Reps, 23 their State Senators, the US Congressman 24 because that channel was designed to be elected 25 officials in -- out of the forms that they  31 1 participate in into the public and answer 2 questions, which we don't get answers to. 3 There is really a lot here in my 4 appeal to the Third Circuit. But, you know, 5 think about the things I said to you. Do you 6 really represent anybody? And did anybody for 7 the last hundred years really do that? How did 8 we get here? All the people that were elected 9 brought us here. Thank you. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up 11 is Scott Thomas. 12 MR. THOMAS: Hi. I'm Scott Thomas, 13 CEO of the Scranton Public Library -- the big 14 free library. And we have our major fundraiser 15 Swingin on Vine coming up, not this Friday but 16 next Friday, May 22nd from five to eight. 17 And we basically have cookout style 18 food. We have drinks. We have live music. 19 And tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the 20 door. It's always a good time. It's been 21 going on for 15 years. And it requires a lot 22 of cooperation from the city because we have to 23 get the permits to close the street and the 24 Show Mobile. 25 That Open Gov website works really  32 1 well. It works really well, but you have to 2 put a lot of documentation which is fine. 3 And the nice thing about it is that if you need 4 a human being, you get one. 5 There is someone named Lisa Palmer 6 who is really helpful there. And we also have 7 business before HARB on Thursday. We used the 8 same website for that. And the same thing, 9 there's a guy named Caleb who is really 10 helpful. 11 So that's working really well that 12 whole permitting process so that made it easier 13 for us to get the things ready for the 14 fundraiser. And the Bookmobile will be at the 15 Armed Forces Day Parade this weekend. 16 And the little free libraries, we 17 will support little free libraries. The United 18 Neighborhood Centers does some and 19 NeighborWorks and Lackawanna County. And what 20 happens is I just send staff around with some 21 donated books. 22 And if they're empty we just put 23 books in them. So I'll contact -- I appreciate 24 knowing that the Hill Association will support 25 that one too. So thank you for your time.  33 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 2 anyone else like to address Council? 3 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik 4 Little. I was struck by the comment of Lee 5 Morgan about the girl that was killed in 6 Chicago and saying by a person who came across 7 the border and that we, the people, elected 8 that person. I'd like to disagree with that. 9 I mean, I read in the paper about 10 what happened in Pottsville. They found a 11 hundred thousand votes in Pottsville for PA 12 considering the 2020 election. And the news 13 community, it's all Joe Biden. 14 It bugs me every time I see Biden 15 Street and Biden that. And it bugs me when I 16 hear, you know, young people and old people 17 arguing about the difference between capitalism 18 and ]communism. It really -- it should be 19 about free enterprise. 20 And I've been watching enterprise -- 21 not Star Trek but real enterprise all my life. 22 And it just seems to me that the biggest 23 mistake was made in forming our Constitution, 24 you know, where people would be free to do free 25 enterprise.  34 1 It's the judiciary. And it was all 2 talked about in 1802, Thomas Jefferson and for 3 decades later his letters to John Adams about 4 case law. And people need to know what's going 5 on. It might be media. 6 But with the media's reporting on 7 the judiciary, I don't think the judiciary 8 knows what's going on. I don't think anybody 9 that goes to law school knows what's going on. 10 I don't think half the people -- I don't think 11 that 90 percent of the people in this whole 12 country sees what's going on right now with, I 13 mean, we got bar associations, British 14 Accredited Registry. 15 That's the crown. And people are 16 talking about Trump and, you know -- but he's 17 changing the whole picture first time ever. I 18 mean, we established our country. We have our 19 250 anniversary coming up in like three days. 20 Trump wanted to get rid of Jerome Powell 21 because he's raising interest rates are going 22 through the roof. 23 There's no way he could get rid of 24 him, but he's out of office in three days. A 25 lot of things are going to change. I think  35 1 things should change in Scranton. I think 2 Scranton should take a chance and think 3 seriously about hiring or investing in an AI 4 robot, one of these robots, hundred thousand 5 dollars, a robot that would know all the law, 6 know all -- everything. 7 This could be a great entertainment 8 thing because that's how you get ideas across 9 is entertainment. I don't have a drone. But I 10 imagine the TV show around the robot would have 11 like four drones, like, a four camera shoot. 12 If you go up above, you know, Hill 13 Section or South Side, it's like a grid 14 pattern. You're talking about the alleys 15 today, you know. I see a high speed, you know, 16 a car chase or a, you know, one of those ATV 17 vehicles. 18 There's a confrontation. The robot 19 shows up. Everything is about probable cause 20 and putting people in jail and, you know, and 21 then you're in jail. And then they got their 22 benefits. The benefits that are paid by the 23 federal government that, you know, the state, 24 and the county and the city all rely on. 25 And the robot could explain that.  36 1 That would take care of the media and the 2 judiciary in one clean shot. And young people 3 would watch it. It would be a very big 4 success. It would put Scranton on the map. 5 And it just has to happen. We need a robot. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 7 else like to address Council? If you could 8 just state your name and address as well. 9 MR PARANICH: First name is Eric and 10 the address is Washington Avenue in Scranton, 11 1300 block. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: And your last name, 13 please? 14 MR. PARANICH: Last name is 15 Paranich, P-A-R-A-N-I-C-H. Council, I'm here 16 to talk about the bill that was adopted before 17 you guys in 2023. If a landlord owns a 18 property in the city, the city is supposed to 19 be inspected and see if that property is 20 eligible to be rented, correct? Okay. 21 There is a property that my 22 grandparents live in. There's a lot going on, 23 maybe potentially a little bit of elder abuse 24 and things like that. Grandpa broke a hip. 25 Grandma fell, broke her arm, a bunch of other  37 1 stuff. 2 But I'm here to talk about the 3 property owner of their property, Douglas 4 Heine, H-E-I-N-E. He is from Waverly, 5 Pennsylvania. He's not a New Yorker 6 surprisingly. You think his properties would 7 be up to par. You think that they would be 8 nice. 9 You think that they would be up to 10 code. And unfortunately they are not. I have 11 a video of him attacking me on my telephone 12 because when I went to go inside to the 13 property to record the illegal wiring and 14 different things that he was doing without 15 permits in the property, he spazed out. 16 I went to go walk. And he went to 17 go shove me into the door. Police weren't 18 notified. I didn't think that the police 19 needed to be notified at the time. I wasn't 20 injured or anything. But it's just the 21 attention. 22 This guy owns several -- and I'm 23 talking several properties throughout West 24 Scranton and possibly throughout the city. I 25 have been in contact with Robin Selemba.  38 1 She's the Director of Rental Property 2 Management here within the city. I've been 3 working with her diligently. 4 I just don't think she's moving fast 5 enough for me. Robin informed me that in 2024 6 Doug declined to let city officials into any of 7 his properties. In 2025, Doug failed to let 8 people into his property. And it is now 2026. 9 He's scheduled an appointment for July 15th, 10 2026. 11 He then cancelled that appointment 12 as of Friday last week. This guy is a 13 slumlord. He's a tyrant. And I say that 14 because you're collecting rent from a property 15 that hasn't been inspected by the city. My 16 grandparents' house is in such disrepair that I 17 don't know how they're even able to live in it. 18 It's terrible. 19 Unfortunately, we can't get them out 20 of there because they have two elder children 21 at the home who are in their 40s and take 22 advantage of their parents. So it's a very 23 unique situation. But I could assure you -- 24 that I'm trying to work with the city so I 25 could let them in the property because I --  39 1 all the utilities are in my name at that 2 property because my grandparents' children 3 unfortunately abused them financially. 4 And they can't get any utilities in 5 their name because they're ran up. So I, you 6 know, am a good grandson and allowed them if 7 they miss one payment, that's it. The 8 utilities are off and they have to find 9 somebody else. 10 But my thing is this Douglas Heine 11 needs to be investigated. He needs to be 12 investigated immediately. I believe this 2082 13 of 2023 needs to be looked at because we should 14 not be allowing landlords grace periods. We 15 should not be allowing them -- you already 16 missed two years to get your properties 17 inspected. 18 Why are you missing a third year? I 19 told Robin, July 5th, why would he schedule an 20 appointment all the way until July? Is the 21 city booked out? She said, no, there's no time 22 limit onto what the landlords have to -- I said 23 he missed 2024 and 2025, so wouldn't that count 24 for something? 25 I said this property is in  40 1 disrepair. The electrical -- if the Fire 2 Department of the City of Scranton went into 3 this property, one air condition's on. There 4 is no electricity that works, only that air 5 conditioner in the second story of the house. 6 So again, I'm asking City Council to 7 go to Robin, go to the Mayor, go to whoever you 8 have to to investigate Douglas Heine because 9 he's a piece of crap. And, you know, and this 10 is my grandparents. And if something happens, 11 I went to the city numerous times under 12 Courtright administration. I went under 13 Cognetti administration, reported to them of 14 the seriousness of this property. 15 He was digging holes. I have 16 pictures on my phone that I sent to Robin. I 17 believe at that point the -- some water 18 company -- or the sewer company told him that 19 he would have to pay $20,000 to dig up the 20 ground. 21 He hired some crack head from West 22 Scranton to come dig up the ground. There's 23 like a manhole in the basement of their house 24 that I filled in last summer with rock and 25 gravel because it was a danger. But Douglas  41 1 Heine is a very bad property owner in the City 2 of Scranton and he needs to be investigated. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 4 MR. PARANICH: Thank you very much, 5 guys. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can you provide us 7 with the address? 8 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, and if you 9 have any pictures if you want to e-mail them 10 over as well to all of us we could pass them 11 along or whatever you have. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 13 anyone else like to address Council? 14 MR. COYNE: Sure would. Tom Coyne, 15 Minooka. Last week I had made a comment about 16 the teachers with the reading -- reading that 17 the City of Scranton had a higher reading rate 18 but it was nowhere where it should be even 19 though we are striving to improve it. 20 The numbers show we still have a 21 long way to go. But on that, teachers I 22 remember from school, I remember a few very 23 fondly, some were good. Some were bad. Some 24 were indifferent. At South Scranton Jr. High 25 School, I remember a woman in my seventh grade  42 1 class. 2 She was at the top of stairways 3 first room on the right hand side. She was a 4 civics teacher. I remember to this day what 5 she taught me. I remember how learning about 6 how government works and how we came to be and 7 how other countries came to be. 8 It was very enlightening. It gave 9 me an idea of how countries, the law, and 10 civilization evolved. I don't remember her 11 name. But to this day I remember what I 12 learned in that classroom. That is an 13 important teacher. 14 And there are some teachers out 15 there who do make a difference and who stick 16 with us for 40, 50, 60 years. I want those 17 teachers to know they do matter. 18 Moving on, there was a recent 19 article about data centers. A recent 20 construction where they had failed to have 21 meters attached to data centers they were 22 building it for the water. 23 In a four month period while the 24 population was on water conservation during the 25 building of this data center, the data center  43 1 used 30 million gallons of water, not during 2 operation, but during construction. 3 It's just another sign of data 4 centers themselves of how much they could 5 impact when 30 million gallons of water are 6 being absorbed by them unmetered while the 7 population of the area is on a no lawn -- no 8 watering of lawn and on conservations. 9 On Cedar Avenue when you come in 10 directly after the munitions plant, if you look 11 to left hand side under the bridge -- next to 12 the bridge, there are two billboards there. 13 When they removed the current billboards, one 14 was about the city race. 15 They ripped whatever was glued down 16 from the billboard. Unfortunately, when they 17 rip it down in streets, it makes the city 18 entrance look like a 50-year-old house where 19 the wallpaper has been peeling and decaying. 20 It's not smooth. It's not painted over. 21 It's not covered. It's a stripe 22 ripped glued on paper that make the entrance to 23 the city look horrible. Advertising signs that 24 are put up inside the city when the advertising 25 gets taken down should not be allowed to look  44 1 like an eyesore until something else gets put 2 up on there. 3 In Center City next to Coney Island 4 under the bridge intersection when they -- at 5 the Lackawanna Avenue and Cedar when they fixed 6 the pavement in that section, they did a lovely 7 job. They did the crosswalks. What they 8 failed to do in front of Coney Island is the 9 right-hand side of the two lanes there was a 10 straight ahead and a right-hand turn. 11 The left-hand lane was a left -- the 12 left hand lane was a left hand lane only. 13 There's no markings anymore. That evidently 14 didn't need to get painted back on. I don't 15 know why. 16 The direction arrows there really do 17 matter because traffic expects since the left 18 was -- the right lane was a straight and right 19 turn, and the left hand was a turn only. When 20 you go in and you move over to get into the 21 left-hand lane of the one way, you're now 22 having cars come up to you because you expected 23 them to make that turn as they were required. 24 The gift cards, it will be nice to 25 see what happened with the gift cards. And the  45 1 Homeless Task Force, it would be -- since it's 2 been out there for two years and one of the 3 Council members are actually on the board, I 4 would like to know what actually was done in 5 the Homeless Task Force that has done an 6 improvement for this city, not just talk, what 7 changes have been made for Scranton that 8 actually help it. Thank you. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 11 MOTIONS. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Sorry, Frank, before 13 we move into 5-A, can we just check up on the 14 piece that Tom was talking about in front of 15 Coney Island about the left-hand turn and 16 straight turn? 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: The turning lanes, 18 I wrote it down. I'll take care of it. Thank 19 you. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Sorry, 21 5-A Motions. Dr. Rothchild, do you have any 22 motions or comments? 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do have a 24 few. First, I'll start with the question that 25 was just asked regarding the Unsheltered Task  46 1 Force and what changes it's made that's had a 2 positive impact on the city. 3 So since I've been involved with it 4 and the meetings that I've been able to attend, 5 the biggest change that I see is basically the 6 Code Blue Shelter addressing any issues there 7 once we had also lost Keystone Mission because 8 they closed, finding someone else to help us 9 run that Code Blue Shelter. 10 So right that now that's been I 11 think the biggest way that we've been able to 12 impact the community like I mentioned last 13 week. That's unfortunately been in a more 14 short-term frame of mind as opposed to a 15 long-term solution. 16 I think there are groups out there 17 that are working to come out -- come up with 18 the longer term solutions. But, you know, 19 it's -- it's a complicated issue and requires 20 lot of -- lot of thought, lot of planning, lot 21 of assistance, lot of money. 22 So that's -- that's just what I've 23 seen as being the biggest issue that's been 24 addressed has been the Code Blue Shelter. That 25 is a county-run program, but something that the  47 1 city has taken on, or hosts, essentially. So 2 the -- one of the other -- a couple of the 3 other things I want to bring up were some 4 responses that I had received from the 5 administration from questions I had last week. 6 So we did have someone to come up 7 here last week during public comment, Miss 8 Elaine Donnelly. And she had -- she lives on 9 East Mountain and she had some questions 10 regarding trees that are being cut down on 11 properties. 12 So we did receive a response from 13 the Shade Tree Commission and also our city 14 planner that the Shade Tree Commission does not 15 enforce tree cutting on private property. They 16 only regulate city right -- rights of way or 17 city-owned properties. 18 There's no prohibition of a private 19 owner removing trees from their property. And 20 the city provides some funding annually in low 21 to moderate income areas for individuals who 22 have a problem tree on their property. And 23 owners must meet income thresholds for funding 24 for that. 25 So that was the response I received  48 1 on that. I also had a few questions and 2 concerns come about -- about Robinson Park. 3 And one of the main ones that I had in it that 4 is an issue that people have told me about and 5 I've witnessed myself, is that there's a drain 6 next to the -- directly next to the playground 7 to, like, the rubber surface of the playground. 8 But surrounding the drain is a bunch 9 of gravel. And that gravel often gets moved 10 onto the playground surface. And they 11 responded about this that -- this issue that 12 Parks' workers regularly rake the playground 13 mulch -- or, I'm sorry, as far as the pebbles, 14 they're there for drainage. 15 It's unfortunate that kids are 16 throwing them and running through them. Our 17 Parks' workers also blow that back on a daily 18 basis. We're exploring some edging options to 19 keep the rocks in place and are hopeful that 20 parents will watch their children better. 21 I don't really think that the issue 22 is parents not watching their children well 23 enough. I think it's actually a design flaw on 24 our part. So why we're not taking 25 responsibility for that I don't understand.  49 1 I'm glad they are looking into other 2 options for it. But to have that amount of 3 gravel and a drain directly next to this 4 playground surface, you know, I don't think is 5 really ideal for us to, like, maintain it for 6 the future. 7 And then we have parks people there 8 every day that are blowing it off. I mean, 9 that seems like a pretty big inconvenience and 10 a waste of their time to be doing that just for 11 some gravel that was put there. 12 So I don't understand why they 13 couldn't have instead put a swale or a rain 14 garden or something else that would help with 15 the drainage, some more natural solutions I 16 think than gravel that would be less damaging 17 and then less of a hassle for our Parks and Rec 18 Department. 19 So that that would be my suggestion 20 to see what else could be added there instead 21 of gravel. And some of the other questions 22 that I had on Robinson that they had responded 23 to as well, the issue of not enough mulch being 24 underneath the swing sets. They said that they 25 do regularly rake the playground mulch back  50 1 into place. 2 And every spring they add new 3 playground mulch. So they're expecting a 4 delivery next week to Robinson Park. And then 5 it also has about the possibility of a baby 6 swing being added, because there isn't one 7 there at this park. 8 And they said they'd be exploring 9 the feasibility of it, but the couplings at the 10 top would also need to change to accommodate 11 this. So, you know, maybe some things that 12 just weren't thought of in advance when this 13 park was -- was renovated and the equipment 14 was purchased for it. 15 But, you know, I think hopefully 16 things that could be considered now just to 17 make it as great of a park as it can be. And 18 then also on the topics of parks, I did want to 19 say that I was able to see the basketball court 20 and pickleball -- pickleball court coatings 21 that were -- that were put on. 22 And it's really looking great and I 23 think really exciting for people to be able to 24 use over the summer. I know I can't wait to 25 be at Nay Aug more over the summertime once the  51 1 weather gets -- once the weather gets nicer and 2 we have those sections of the park open. 3 There was a concern brought to me 4 about the one of the older playground 5 structures that is at Nay Aug. So there used 6 to be one older wooden one that was taken down 7 a while ago. But there is still another older 8 structure. And I've brought it up here before 9 because there were a number of safety issues 10 there. 11 I think maybe other council members 12 have too. But right now, I think there's 13 orange fencing surrounding part of the -- part 14 of that play structure. So the question I 15 received was wondering if there were plans to 16 remove the structure if it was unsafe to be 17 used, if it's going to be replaced or just, 18 like, what the plans are for that. 19 I know there's the butterfly 20 playground. That's a bit smaller and meant to 21 be accessible to all children. I know that 22 they're also looking at adding onto that but 23 looking at what the plans are specific to this 24 playground. And I think that's -- that's all 25 that I have tonight. Thank you.  52 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 2 Mr. Sean McAndrew, do you have any motions or 3 comments? 4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 5 few. Frank, if you want to call -- so while 6 Frank's -- we're gonna do a slide show real 7 quick on the following storm project issues. 8 So the last few weeks, last two 9 weeks, I've been talking about the project 10 that's going up. There are a couple residents 11 in the area who told me that they're -- the 12 project itself is not fully going to be 13 complete. 14 It's going stop from the road to the 15 one gentleman's house. There's going to be no 16 pipe. So it's going to go through somebody 17 else's yard with no pipe, with no drainage. 18 It's going be left open. So I thought I'd take 19 some pictures this weekend to show everybody. 20 So, Frank, if you can go to the first picture? 21 I think you have to hit refresh. 22 Yep. All right. That should 23 hopefully go. If not, I can come down. While 24 that's loading, I guess I'll go over something 25 else first. We're supposed to be meeting with  53 1 Chief Judge regarding the EMS service, myself 2 and Councilman McAndrew. 3 We sent an e-mail to try to meet 4 this week regarding it. And unfortunately, the 5 two dates we sent out they have not -- they 6 have not been able to accommodate. So we're 7 waiting on some responses from them to show to 8 give us some dates they will be available for 9 us to meet to have this discussion, then 10 hopefully have a caucus regarding it so 11 everybody could hear about it. 12 Yeah, Frank, if you just want to hit 13 the stop where it says start slide show to the 14 right. No, you don't have to -- you can go 15 right to the right. See above where it says, 16 like, on the top right, where it says start 17 slide show, you can -- you can click it that 18 way. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: On the gray screen. 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yep. There you 21 go. Hit close. Okay, It's not opening. All 22 right. Do you want to just hit the next slide, 23 the arrow on the bottom where it says slide one 24 of six. There you go. Same thing. Refresh. 25 All right. While Frank's trying to  54 1 do that, I will continue. I received an e-mail 2 on -- from a resident regarding South Side 3 Cedar Ave, and River Street. I guess it's a 4 mess. They want to know if the street sweeper 5 can come through the street. 6 And also, there's some storm water 7 drains that are significantly blocked. So if 8 we can have the administration send somebody 9 down from DPW to see if that's one of our storm 10 drains or if it's one of American Water's. 11 We're still waiting on confirmation 12 from American Water to give us a list of, you 13 know, whose -- who owns what. There's another 14 issue on the 200 block of North Van Buren. 15 There's been -- and I'll send over the actual 16 address. There's some issue with the grass not 17 being cut and also previous issues with the 18 garbage that is still -- it's still not being 19 taken care of. 20 I did get a question regarding Nay 21 Aug as well regarding the basketball courts and 22 the pickleball courts. Will they be open all 23 day or what time would they be -- actually be 24 closed and being locked up? 25 And they also said that there is a  55 1 Parks Manager that is going to be -- I think 2 that recently was hired or is going to be 3 hired. Are they ever going to be at the park 4 for residents to go speak to them regarding it? 5 And also, are there other leagues for 6 individuals to learn the pickleball? 7 So maybe that's something we can 8 send down to the Rec Authority Board. And that 9 is all. I guess, I'll come back if we can get 10 this loaded. I'll come down and try to take a 11 look at it. But if you want to go to the next 12 person, that's fine. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Let's see how it's 14 going. 15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Oh, perfect. 16 Councilman Flynn with the assist. Thank you 17 very much. All right. So if you want to go 18 that first picture, that is the gentleman's 19 backyard that goes from the -- that's part of 20 the backyard that goes from the street all the 21 way up to his shed, which is the shed is right 22 there on the right hand side. 23 That is where a pipe will be. All 24 right. Now, as you can -- if you see in the 25 next picture if you want to click on the third  56 1 picture, okay, so that is past the shed. So 2 all that on the left where the creek is, that 3 is not going to have drainage at all. That's 4 going to go right up to the street. 5 Now, the reason for that originally 6 was -- first, originally the neighbors were 7 told no matter if an easement was assigned, if 8 it wasn't signed and they would do it eminent 9 domain. So this project was originally 10 supposed to go -- the pipe was supposed to go 11 from street all the way down the two backyards 12 out to the front yard down, like, continuing 13 down under the other street. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: So actually, if I 15 could jump in on this -- I don't even know if 16 the picture does it justice. That -- that 17 creek bed is probably about 6 feet deep. It's 18 probably, I would say, at least 12 to 16 feet 19 wide. It's a pretty deep creek bed. 20 I think with the green growth there, 21 it's not showing it as well as it should be 22 seen. 23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: It goes from 25 Whitetail up by the red maple on top there all  57 1 the way down to Ridgeview below. 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, So that's 3 where there's going to be nothing. They're not 4 gonna -- they might put a few rocks in there. 5 There's going be no drainage. There's going to 6 be no pipe. There's going to be nothing. So 7 if you go to the next picture, that's more of a 8 zoomed in where you can see how deep it is, and 9 also, the erosion that's already -- on each 10 side of the -- each side of the property. 11 So that's going to be left open. 12 This originally was supposed to go all the way 13 up. So again, I understand the easement might 14 not have been agreed upon, but they're supposed 15 to do eminent domain to make sure this property 16 was this -- this project was done properly 17 because make no mistake, this is a much needed 18 property -- I'm sorry, project. 19 And it's there -- it's a huge lift. 20 And they're doing an excellent job. But to say 21 that we can't afford it right now and to come 22 back later, it's just going to cost us more 23 money to -- to do it later on because there 24 might be some things you do have to dig up 25 again or eventually.  58 1 So that is to me a concern. When 2 you look somebody in the eye -- and when your 3 government is supposed to work for you, and 4 it's your taxpayer dollars, and when they tell 5 you, hey, no matter what, this is going to run 6 from the street all the way through all the 7 yards out to the other street, whether it's 8 eminent domain, whether it's -- whether it's 9 easements. 10 But unfortunately, that's not 11 happening here. So if you go to the next 12 slide, this is where right by the individual 13 shed, this is where -- this is going to be the 14 opening where the pipe is going to go through 15 that all the way through his yard out to the 16 front. 17 The problem is with this, this to me 18 is going to be a safety issue because there's 19 going to be no grades on that. That's a huge 20 opening where kids might -- there's a lot of 21 kids in neighborhood running around. God 22 forbid they fall -- fall down in the creek with 23 it with -- like Mr. Schuster said, there's -- 24 there's a big dip. 25 But God forbid they go in -- they go  59 1 in it. There's going be no grades on that 2 blacking off what I was told. Animals can get 3 in. Debris can get in it. It's going to -- 4 it's going to cause -- it's going to cause a 5 clog. 6 But also, most importantly, it -- to 7 me, it's a safety issue. So this was supposed 8 to -- you never would be able to see this in 9 this gentleman's yard on the side of his yard 10 because that was supposed to go all the way up 11 to the other yard onto the street. And it'll 12 be, you know, covered. 13 You won't be able to see. You won't 14 be able to access it. Now, it's going to be 15 open with one of these cement openings with 16 the -- with a big plastic pipe going through. 17 So they're telling me it's -- if you go to the 18 next slide -- that it's going to be 156,000 -- 19 $156,000. 20 I mean this -- we have over $100 21 million budget. This is less than 1% of our 22 budget. We're finding $400,000 when we need to 23 get contractors to do storm, you know, storm -- 24 with the snowstorm and removal and everything 25 like that.  60 1 I don't think they're looking hard 2 enough to find this money. I understand 3 they're saying, well, because this isn't 4 happening, we're putting more money to the pump 5 house, which is again, another project that is 6 an excellent project that needs to be done. 7 But the residents up there have been 8 dealing with storm water issues since I was a 9 kid. I had a family member who lived up there. 10 I grew up up there. I know how many residents 11 up there in that area where the pipe's not 12 going to be -- my aunt and uncle lived next 13 door. 14 They had water in their basement all 15 the time. The property, I think, still has it. 16 If this isn't done correctly, "A", we're going 17 to have to come back later. And it's going to 18 cost us more money. But also, it's not good 19 government. 20 You told people that it was going to 21 be done properly. You gave them your word no 22 matter what way it had to be done, it wasn't 23 done. So now they're going to be stuck here. 24 And while I was up there on -- on Sunday or, 25 sorry, the other day on Monday, kids were  61 1 running all around the neighborhood. 2 There's not a lot of fences. It's 3 an open neighborhood. It's a beautiful 4 neighborhood. It's a great neighborhood. I'm 5 concerned that a kid might get in there or fall 6 down the creek or go through the hole -- go 7 through the drainage pipe if there's to be 8 nothing to block it off. 9 Also debris is gonna get in there, 10 other animals. It's going to be a mess up 11 there for those neighbors. So I really hope 12 they reconsider. They -- they talk to the 13 neighbors again. And they do this the right 14 way now rather than later. All right. That is 15 all I have. Thank you. Thank you, Frank, and 16 thanks, Pat, for the help. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 18 Last summer, I was able to get the engineers 19 and some of the city administration to go for a 20 walkthrough on these -- it was originally 10 -- 21 10 properties there in Fawnwood. I think the 22 walkthrough was great for those neighbors. 23 They got a lot of their questions 24 answered right there on the spot on their 25 property. So I think that was good government  62 1 at that point in time. This project was to be 2 self-contained. 3 It was going to be underground. You 4 were not going to see any of that creek bed. 5 The property owners were going to gain lawn 6 space. And the design that I saw I felt was 7 good at the time. At this point in time, I do 8 know that some of the neighbors are reaching 9 out to the administration. 10 I'd hope they'd reach out to them. 11 I've think getting some of the groundwork done 12 and speaking to those residents that are 13 affected, it could go a long way. There was 14 originally confusion with the easements where 15 prices were higher because the city didn't 16 realize that they had more of a -- they had a 17 20 foot easement, something like that. 18 And they felt they only had a 5 foot 19 easement. But once the city realized that they 20 had bigger easements in the area, the prices 21 that were given to those neighbors had went 22 down. And that was confusing for those 23 neighbors at the time. 24 So it -- it put some confusion out 25 right at the start of the project. But I think  63 1 with some good outreach from our coordinator, 2 some of this stuff can be worked out with those 3 residents. Mr. Mark McAndrew, do you have any 4 motions or comments? 5 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yeah, I got a 6 couple. So let's start with 3-A. So in 3-A, 7 there was a quarter -- quarterly report. It's 8 our ARPA quarterly report. We've been 9 receiving them since 2022. 10 So the spending plan of the ARPA 11 money was approved in 2022. And part of that 12 process I remember that, of course, we, you 13 know, part of the disbursement of this money, 14 we had to hire a company called Anser that was 15 oversight and dealt with the regulations, how, 16 what, where, how to spend it, what was allowed, 17 and that was fine. 18 And then within that we were allowed 19 or the city was allowed to pay stipends to say, 20 our BA, our Business Administrator, who is 21 considered the ARPA Manager per se. And then 22 there was a few more employees. I don't 23 remember who received it offhand. 24 There might have been five that also 25 were entitled to this stipend, right? So start  64 1 in 2022, fast forward it's 2026. Every project 2 has been identified. Every amount has been 3 disbursed. So the question I have -- and 4 these -- some of these are handsome stipends. 5 But I'm just afraid that, you know, 6 some of these people might get -- might 7 continue to receive this stipend when it's no 8 longer necessary or it's reached its end. My 9 question is, when does it reach its end, the 10 last project, the last shovel. I don't know. 11 It's a question I have. I brought 12 it up in caucus. If, Solicitor Gilbride, if 13 you could please reach out and get an end date 14 for this. If you would, please, if -- or 15 what's recommend -- you know, I don't know what 16 the recommendation is, you know, from -- from 17 the federal government. 18 But there's got to be something that 19 we -- were not aware of. And I'd like to be 20 aware of it, okay? 21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes, sir. 22 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right. 23 Let's talk about pods. You know what, four or 24 five years ago -- no, actually -- yeah, I 25 brought them up. Lenny here brought it up two  65 1 weeks ago, right? It wasn't last week. It was 2 two weeks ago, maybe three. I could be wrong. 3 And, you know, it's a valid concern. 4 That information was sent over to 5 the proper authorities. Now they're just 6 looking at it? If we have on the books -- and 7 I remember when I brought this a couple years 8 ago, the information I got -- and I forget who 9 told me. It somewhere within the building 10 said, you know, there was legislation, but it 11 was tabled. 12 Prior councils tabled it. And I 13 don't know if it had something to do maybe and 14 I think I mentioned this that maybe the pods 15 were new -- a new thing probably. It was 16 before ARPA. But if our code reads -- I guess 17 the word pod is not in the ordinance. 18 But storage containers are. So I 19 think -- I'm no legal expert. But these fines 20 that we speak of or code enforcement, this 21 should be enforceable, especially for this -- 22 this pod sitting in front of someone's house 23 for at least a year. 24 Because when I brought it up a 25 couple years ago, this wasn't the same  66 1 property. There was other properties that had 2 them more than a year. And then I got a little 3 information, well, sometimes the pod company 4 just leaves them. 5 Well, that's -- that's unacceptable 6 too. So -- and I think Solicitor Gilbride, 7 you said that legal is looking at it. 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes, that's 9 correct. 10 MR. MARK MCANDREW: They're looking 11 at it. So how about, I mean, I don't know what 12 they're looking at. We have an ordinance. If 13 we have to change storage container to pod so 14 it's more identified, then do it. Let's not 15 let this gentleman wait for whatever reasons. 16 If it's enforceable, I want to know 17 why it's -- nothing's being done, Okay? That's 18 a question I have right now that I would like 19 from the legal department, from code 20 enforcement, how about why, instead of why -- 21 why isn't anything being done or enforcement 22 and why are we waiting? All right. 23 Like I said, if it's a word in the 24 legislation we have to change, then change it. 25 I'm sure my colleagues would be okay with that.  67 1 All right. That is all I have on that. But 2 let's -- let's get, let's get on that, if you 3 don't mind, please. 4 I also received a complaint that 5 neighbors reached out to the city last spring 6 and summer informing them that there is a great 7 deal of trash along Mary Street and nothing has 8 yet to be done. It's getting worse. And the 9 neighbors who keep their properties nice want 10 something done. 11 Mr. Voldenberg, would you please 12 alert code enforcement to this issue of blight 13 and see what's up with that. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 15 MR. MARK MCANDREW: And that is all 16 I have. Thank you. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 18 Mr. Flynn, do you have any motions or comments? 19 MR. FLYNN: I'll reserve them 20 for -- for the pieces of legislation as they 21 come. Thank you. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. A few 23 things for tonight. I should have announced it 24 in announcements at the beginning. Next week, 25 we are going to be changing our -- the date of  68 1 our meeting to Thursday. Tuesday is election 2 day. So we'll be moving our meeting to 3 Thursday night that week. Times will remain 4 the same. 5 Today I did get a followup to a 6 property that had been condemned. The address 7 is 903 Meadow Avenue. It was the property that 8 had the -- the large amount of dead -- dead 9 cats. I know at this point in time, the 10 property has been condemned. 11 But can we just reach out to code 12 enforcement or PD to see what's going on with 13 that property? Where are we going with the 14 condemned status? Is there any plans for 15 cleanup. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: They have it. I'll 17 firm up the status for you. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Thank 19 you. Last week, I had a few questions. It was 20 brought up about Street Cats and Dogs. There 21 was an increase in their budget line item going 22 into 2026. And we did ask for an update from 23 them. 24 So we reached out to the city 25 administration and asked for an update on that.  69 1 And they have reached out to Street Cats and 2 Dogs. So we're waiting on that update from 3 Street Cats and Dogs through the 4 administration. 5 I would say possibly next week we're 6 going to be bringing back the 3100 of Cedar 7 Avenue for a one way. Last week I did ask -- 8 there were some changes that were made or we 9 did ask some questions regarding that piece of 10 legislation. 11 There was some additional signage 12 and some changes. And my -- one of my 13 questions last week was with those additional 14 signs -- signage, with the additional changes, 15 with signage and was there going to be updated 16 legislation that was going to come down from 17 the administration? 18 So if we could just find out is 19 there going to be updated legislation coming 20 down that addresses the questions that we had 21 asked the previous weeks before we bring this 22 up. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Two other 25 things, it was brought up, you know, some of  70 1 the things sitting on the table at this point 2 in time. Mr. Gilbride, could we just follow up 3 with the administration? There was some 4 information that we had -- or that was going to 5 be coming to us from the administration about 6 data centers and how we're flushing out that 7 ordinance. 8 So if we could just reach out to 9 them and see what updates they've had and how 10 we're moving forward with that. And then we 11 met with the Zoning Board in the past and want 12 to meet with them in the future to take a look 13 at -- at that ordinance and what types of 14 amendments may be made to that. 15 So myself and Mr. Gilbride will 16 reach out to the Zoning Board. I'll reach out 17 to them this week and see if there's some good 18 dates that we can meet with them too. I know 19 there's some areas that we've identified 20 already. But we'll just go back over those 21 areas of identification and work to -- to make 22 amendments to that ordinance. And that's all I 23 have for tonight. 24 MR. MARK MCANDREW: President 25 Schuster, I forget. I neglected to report out  71 1 something also. Can I? 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay, yes. 3 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right. So 4 you know what, this is in regards to the -- 5 when I asked about the gift cards that were I 6 read my question and wanted to get some more 7 information. So I asked how many were 8 dispersed or given out and that will -- and 9 what's left. 10 So now it's saying that we have 63 11 gift cards left over from the initial 75, which 12 I don't understand why they weren't all given 13 out last year. Twelve gift cards have been 14 passed out to six households. Each household 15 received two gift cards valued at $25 each for 16 a total of 50. 17 So I don't know why they're still 18 remaining from last year. That isn't -- we 19 wanted to recognize and reward residents. That 20 was part of the program. I don't know. Well, 21 I don't know if we'll ever know. And then in 22 addition, you know, I don't want to wait 23 another week. 24 So the pod situation, could you also 25 ask do they -- does the city ever reach out to  72 1 the company -- the pod company itself maybe 2 informing them that we have an ordinance; and, 3 you know, and like we were told, this might be 4 an abandoned pod. And if that's the case, can 5 we find out about that? 6 I mean, I'm sure the pod company 7 will take whatever they charge every month 8 forever. But we have an ordinance. And maybe 9 they need to be reminded of it. If we can add 10 that to my inquiry, please. 11 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes, sir. 12 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Move to 14 5-B. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

SCHUSTER: On the question? 3 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, on the question, 4 I just have a few questions for the 5 administration on this. So when looking at the 6 revenues and the differences that we're looking 7 at, it looks like 636,000, 486,000 more than 8 anticipated coming from federal funds, a 9 hundred thousand from interest income which I 10 assume is due to our bond rating get better 11 which is phenomenal news. 12 And 309,860 from Special City's 13 Fund. So I think most of this money going 14 towards officer safety equipment, modular 15 vehicle, barricade, security for firehouses. I 16 just want to get more clarity from the 17 administration on those differences and those 18 added revenues from the Special City's Fund and 19 the federal funds if any of that money is 20 already realized, we already have that money 21 that these are projected increases in our 22 revenues, when we expect to receive them. 23 I just don't want to get out ahead 24 of our skis to the tune of 1.2 -- 1.2 million 25 dollars with money that we -- are we hoping  75 1 this comes or what's the game plan? Where is 2 this money coming from, where in the process is 3 it. So if we could get those from the 4 administration, I would appreciate it. 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. Flynn. 6 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. I appreciate 7 it. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 9 I also have -- there's a $350,000 grant that's 10 been applied for. It's for predesign, design, 11 and construction oversight for a new building 12 for Engine 10. 13 I believe we have -- I know we've 14 given permission to apply for the grant. Can 15 we see if there's an update on that where the 16 grant is for that and where we are with the 17 funding on the -- on Engine 10 -- 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get the update 19 for you. 20 MR.

FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE 23 COMMITTEE ON RULES - FOR ADOPTION - RESOLUTION 24 NO. 46, 2026 - APPOINTMENT OF SAMUEL KUCHWARA 25 AS A MEMBER OF THE SCRANTON MUNICIPAL  78 1 RECREATION AUTHORITY TO REPLACE DYLAN CAWLEY 2 FOR A TERM TO EXPIRE ON DECEMBER 31, 2027. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: As Chairperson for 4 the Committee on Rules, I recommend a final 5 vote on Item 7-A. 6 MR. FLYNN: Second. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question? Go 8 ahead. 9 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, on the question, I 10 have some remarks on this. So first and 11 foremost, I want to thank Mr. Kuchwara for his 12 years of volunteer work, dedication he has 13 given to Nay Aug Park and our community. 14 Nobody can question the time, care 15 and effort he has invested and I truly 16 appreciate that service. At the same time, 17 this vote is about more than one individual. 18 The Scranton Municipal Recreation 19 Authority exists to serve the residents of the 20 City of Scranton with more than 76,000 people 21 who call this city home, I believe our boards 22 and authorities should whenever possible be 23 made up of city residents. 24 And to that point, just this evening 25 Mrs. Hodowanitz talked about how an individual  79 1 that she knows that was more than qualified 2 applied to be on this board and didn't even 3 hear back. I believe that we heard from the 4 administration that they had no one else 5 interested in this board. 6 So I'm sure there are many quality 7 and commitment people like the individual Miss 8 Hodowanitz discussed tonight within our city 9 who care deeply about our parks, recreation 10 programs and neighborhoods who would love to 11 serve in this role. 12 The administration was made aware 13 that not living in the city was a non starter 14 for appointments to boards and authorities. 15 Yet, for some reason Mr. Kuchwara's name was 16 still sent over. I do not believe that is fair 17 to Mr. Kuchwara. 18 It puts me personally in a terrible 19 position of having to publically vote on 20 someone that I have a great deal of respect for 21 and know personally. At the same time, the 22 last thing that we should do as a city is 23 discourage former residents or community 24 members from continuing to invest their time, 25 energy, and even their own resources into our  80 1 parks. 2 Whether or not he serves on this 3 board, Mr. Kuchwara's contributions absolutely 4 deserve to be recognized. In particular, the 5 work he did in essentially single-handedly 6 building the new community room is something 7 that should be acknowledged and appreciated by 8 this city. 9 I hope that we could find meaningful 10 ways to honor that commitment and service while 11 maintaining the principle that city boards 12 should be represented by city residents. So 13 while this vote is in no way, shape, or form a 14 reflection of Mr. Kuchwara personally or on his 15 contribution, I will be voting no because as I 16 said, city residents should have the first 17 opportunity to participate on city boards. 18 That's all I have. Thank you. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 20 else on the question? 21 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, on the 22 question, I echo what Pat said. Everything I 23 hear about Mr. Kuchwara is excellent. And his 24 dedication to the park is extraordinary. It's 25 unbelievable.  81 1 But at the end of the day, we 2 need -- if our residents want to get involved, 3 we need to look out for that. We need to check 4 did the administration ask anybody? Did they 5 put out anything on the website saying if 6 anybody wants to send their resume in and 7 interview for it, let's look into that going 8 forward. 9 But what also was interesting, if 10 they know it's a non starter because I'm 11 looking at the board meeting minutes from the 12 Parks and Rec's meeting on April 9th, which is 13 well before we even had this on the agenda last 14 week, they're saying -- one of the members gave 15 an update that Sam who is recommended by the 16 board but was not approved by City Council due 17 to living in the -- living in a neighboring 18 city. 19 So we didn't even vote yet. So if 20 they knew -- if they didn't think it was going 21 to go through, why even bring it down? So, I 22 mean, it just goes on -- I would like to know 23 what goes on now with how they try to get 24 people on boards on the city level. 25 You know, we know how we're going to  82 1 have to handle it with zoning because we handle 2 that. But, I mean, I would love to know 3 process that goes to it. So can you ask 4 administration what is the process of trying to 5 fulfill these positions? 6 I know they're -- they're saying 7 it's hard. But as Joan brought up, there's 8 somebody who wants to do it and willing to do 9 it. So how can that person apply and be in 10 consideration for it? 11 But also, if they think these 12 decisions aren't going to go a certain way, why 13 bother even bringing it down? Like, if it's 14 been getting brought up at their meeting -- at 15 their meeting on April 9th, like I said weeks 16 before, why did it even come across -- come 17 across Council? 18 So again, I would love to say yes to 19 Mr. Kuchwara. He's an excellent volunteer. I 20 commend him for everything he does. I just 21 wish he lived in the city. And that would be 22 an easy yes. But unfortunately tonight, 23 because of that, I will be voting no. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 25 else on the question?  83 1 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yeah, so on the 2 question, I want to thank Mr. Kuchwara. He's a 3 veteran. Thank you for your service to our 4 country. And I'd also want to thank him for 5 his service and devotion to the park. None of 6 this is questionable. 7 What's questionable is, you know, 8 why it was sent down knowing that, you know, 9 the Mayor knowing that it's -- it violates our 10 policy. 11 Like I say from week to week and 12 meeting to meeting a lot of times, I'm a policy 13 and procedure kind of guy, right? This is 14 nothing personal towards Mr. Kuchwara. Like I 15 said, I mean, he's an asset to the park. 16 But we can't go down that road where 17 we set a precedence. I'm sorry, but it's not 18 fair. So like I said, I'm going to no -- 19 procedurally a no. But I'm a fan. And I'm 20 thankful for all he's done. 21 But also, Mr. Hodowanitz, that 22 resume, send it to me. This is not -- I mean, 23 we do appoint on boards. So if you ever have 24 anybody, like you said, you get around and you 25 talk to a lot of people that has the desire to  84 1 serve on any board and authority no matter what 2 it is, please forward them to us because 3 obviously we didn't see this one because we 4 were told there wasn't another candidate. So 5 thank you for that. And that is all I have. 6 Thanks. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Anyone else on the 8 question? 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, 10 I'll speak to this too. I also appreciate all 11 the work that Sam Kuchwara has done for Nay Aug 12 Park. And I -- I think there's few people who 13 have devoted as much time as he has. And I'm 14 glad that we did receive his resume too that he 15 included all the time that he has spent 16 volunteering in Nay Aug. 17 And, like, I see Nay Aug as a place 18 that everyone can enjoy, not just residents and 19 other people can care about too. We get 20 visitors from all over just to come to see the 21 park, the gem of Scranton. So I don't really 22 see it in the same light as him, like, beating 23 out a resident or someone else who could be on 24 the authority board. 25 I don't really think they're -- many  85 1 better people than him. And I'm supportive of 2 him serving on the board. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. On the 4 question, I'm going to echo with every one of 5 the Council members up here how they spoke. I 6 appreciate everything that Mr. Kuchwara does at 7 the park, all of the time that he's 8 volunteered, all his activities, his reputation 9 stands for itself. 10 The level of outreach that we 11 received or that I received, I didn't think it 12 was necessary. I spoke to everyone. I spoke 13 to them sincerely about our discussions about 14 how we were going to move with this. The 15 simple fact is that Mr. Kuchwara does not live 16 in the city. 17 The Mayor brought this point up to 18 me. And despite that fact decided to press the 19 issue and did so at Mr. Kuchwara's expense. 20 Tonight I'm going to vote to do what's best I 21 feel for this body moving forward with this 22 administration. Residents want individuals 23 from the City of Scranton to make decisions on 24 Scranton issues that tax -- Scranton tax money 25 funds.  86 1 So I'll also be voting no. We have 2 a population of $75,000 individuals. And I 3 think more than enough of them can be suitable 4 to serve on boards. One thing it does bring up 5 though, it brings up another issue with me 6 about redacted addresses. 7 We get appointments that have 8 redacted addresses or we redact those 9 addresses. I don't know if there's slight game 10 of semantics that goes on. There's vetting 11 that occurs on these boards. The vetting 12 process looks at back taxes. It looks at 13 refuse fees. It looks at things like that and 14 what their standing is with the city. 15 So when we get someone from a 16 different city or municipality that it's stated 17 they passed our vetting, they have no back 18 taxes with the City of Scranton. They have no 19 outstanding refuse fees, I don't know how we 20 say it with a straight face that this 21 individual from a different municipality has -- 22 is in good standing with the city because they 23 don't live in the city. 24 When I was appointed to the Planning 25 Commission, my address went into the newspaper.  87 1 And I just thought, you know, I might not have 2 liked it. It's out there for the public to 3 see. But I thought, you know, this is what 4 comes with being a public official. 5 So that's all I have on the question 6 tonight. And if no one else on the question, 7 roll call, please. 8 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild. 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 10 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew. 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: No. 12 MS.
