20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Second.
21 MR. SCHUSTER: There's a motion on
22 the floor and a second to take it from the
23 table, Resolution Number 56, 2026. This
24 resolution is the transfer of a liquor license.
25 It's being taken from the table and placed in
4
1 Seventh Order for a final vote.
2 Anyone who would like to speak on
3 this piece of legislation may do so in Fourth

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. Opposed? The
12 ayes have it and so moved.
13 Please dispense with the reading of
14 the minutes.
15 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER. No
16 business at this time.
17 MR. SCHUSTER: Do any Council
18 members have any announcements at this time?
19 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a few. So
20 this Saturday will be taking place the annual
21 Electric City Flower Show that takes place at
22 Nay Aug. And that will be from 10 a.m. to
23 4 p.m. at the park.
24 So you'll have a chance to see the
25 floral competition entries. There's different
5
1 botanical displays and a lot of vendors,
2 family-friendly activities. It's a great event
3 to be able to go to in the park. So hopefully
4 they'll have good weather for that on Saturday.
5 Also, this weekend is Juneteenth.
6 And normally Black -- the Black Scranton
7 Project will have a block party. But this year
8 they're doing something a little different. So
9 those who normally would attend the block
10 party, they'll be having an open house and a
11 lookback celebration.
12 And that's going to be taking place
13 on Friday -- this Friday, June 19th, from 2 to
14 6 p.m., over at their Center for Arts and
15 Culture. And that's at 1902 North Main Avenue.
16 And also, Sunday is Father's Day. So Happy
17 Father's Day to all the dads out there.
18 And that's all that I have. Oh, so,
19 I'm sorry, there was one other thing I wasn't
20 sure if Councilman Schuster was going to bring
21 it up. I know he had sent an e-mail about it
22 that over at Novembrino, there's going to be a
23 health and wellness fair. That'll be June
24 26th, so not this weekend, the following
25 weekend.
6
1 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank
2 you.
3 MR. FLYNN: Just, just a few brief
4 announcements. One is, DPW will be off on
5 Friday in observance of Juneteenth. So the
6 garbage will be one day behind only for those
7 that get it picked up on Friday. It will be on
8 Saturday and then back to regular schedule next
9 week.
10 I also think it's important as a
11 Council member to let the public know I
12 won't -- I won't be here next week. I'm going
13 on vacation with two young boys. It's not
14 really much of a vacation. But we will be gone
15 away. So I will not be here next week. And I
16 will be back the week after. So that's all I
17 have. Thanks.
18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. There's a
19 summer camp at Weston Field. It's Camp Weston.
20 It's a summer day camp for kids from the ages
21 of 8 to 12 that live in Scranton. The camp is
22 $25 per week and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
23 Monday to Friday with a free breakfast and
24 lunch provided.
25 You can register with Parks and
7
1 Recreation by calling Sudita{phonetic} at
2 570-445-6737 or send an e-mail to
3 SSAMAD@Scrantonpa.gov. And the camp is going
4 to start on June 15th. It'll be starting on
5 June 15.
6 And then also the Scranton School
7 District is doing their summer feeding program
8 at several locations, so Connell Pool, Fellows
9 Park, McDade, Novembrino Splash Pad, Weston
10 Field Pool, Weston Park Pool, and Valley View
11 Terrace.
12 And that's beginning today, the
13 15th, Monday through Friday from 12 to 1:30.
14 Any other announcements?
15 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.
16 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
17 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker
18 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz.
19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,
20 Scranton. Is City Hall closed on Friday for
21 Juneteenth?
22 MR. SCHUSTER: I believe so.
23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. And I do
24 want to remind all the parents in Scranton that
25 now that the school district is closed for the
8
1 summer -- I believe they're closed, are they
2 not? The Children's Library on Vine Street is
3 open 52 weeks a year. And they have all kinds
4 of wonderful programs for children.
5 So there is something for children
6 to do. And they, you know, it's tax supported.
7 So get your tax money's worth. Take your
8 children to the library.
9 I also need to give a shoutout to
10 the Scranton Police Department. I live in
11 Samters. And I can look down on Lackawanna
12 Avenue. On Monday, you should have seen the
13 crowds waiting to get to see Big Boy. I mean,
14 it was way past Boscov's into the 400 block of
15 Lackawanna, down past Cliff Street and up over
16 the bridge all the way to Kost Tires.
17 They say something like 30,000
18 people went to see that engine on Monday alone.
19 So but the police were on several key corners
20 assisting with crowd -- not just crowd control,
21 but giving information out.
22 And some of them were giving out
23 water. They were directing traffic because
24 traffic was pretty well clogged on Lackawanna
25 Avenue with the busses trying to get out of the
9
1 bus terminal.
2 But I think, you know, the city
3 presented itself relatively well. I don't
4 think anybody thought they'd have that many
5 people trying to come in on that very first day
6 even though they sold the tickets. But there
7 were people in, you know, walkers and kids in
8 strollers and all kinds of things and dogs on
9 leashes and everything.
10 And it was pretty orderly. But the
11 police did a really good job. And they made
12 the city look pretty good, so a shoutout to
13 them. 5-B, the extending of the firefighters
14 union contract for two years for 2027 and '28.
15 I saw that -- I don't have an issue with it.
16 I see that in 2027, all the members
17 of the bargaining union, we get a 3 percent pay
18 raise, wage increase, and then they'll get
19 another 3 percent jump in '28, which is
20 generally par for the course for unions.
21 My question is, are we going to see
22 similar legislation coming down this summer
23 from the police department? Are they going to
24 try to do the same thing? Have you heard
25 anything?
10
1 MR. SCHUSTER: I have not.
2 MS. HODOWANITZ: I will say this.
3 You know, I checked the city's website trying
4 to find the DPW's new union contract. It's
5 still not there. I'm sure they're typing it
6 one paragraph a day. This should be an easy
7 new contract if it gets approved because it's
8 just add a few paragraphs here, delete these
9 paragraphs there.
10 You've got a pdf file to begin with.
11 You just add that in there. It should be well
12 on the website before Labor Day. So I hope
13 both the DPW contract and this one if it's
14 approved, is on the website before Labor Day.
15 7-F, the emergency operations and
16 training center going for the $100,000 grant,
17 did we ever get any information on the status
18 of the Serrenti Center and how that's going to
19 be used, vis-à-vis this new operations and
20 training center?
21 MR. SCHUSTER: No, I don't believe
22 we did.
23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, well,
24 hopefully that'll come through before you go on
25 recess in August. But I think it's time we
11
1 found that out because I remember how they
2 tried to sell the Serrenti Center, and I'm
3 hearing the same language now. So my question
4 is, what are you using the Serrenti Center for?
5 Also, I'd like to know if the other
6 municipalities are going to be giving us any
7 payment for using this new center. We could
8 use the revenue. And I heard what you said
9 during your caucus about the ARPA Project
10 Manager, 7-H.
11 If you would, during Fifth Order,
12 motions, tell the general public what the
13 response you got when you asked those questions
14 about, you know, the ARPA Project Manager, the
15 staff that's going to be replacing him, and
16 when the ARPA project is going to bite the dust
17 in 2027. Thank you.
18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next
19 speaker is Mike Mancini.
20 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council,
21 and the good people of Scranton. Tonight, what
22 do you see? It's easy to criticize this
23 administration. When you know Scranton's past
24 it becomes second nature comparing safety,
25 infrastructure, available services, and fiscal
12
1 responsibility.
2 My concerns are in line with many
3 others. We notice more than most, an uptick in
4 every day's aspect in crime. It's insulting to
5 hear that crime happens every day everywhere
6 and the running excuse to do nothing.
7 Every crime causes impact on
8 residents. I blame politics and the police
9 department changing the police testing causing
10 a shortage, disbanding the drug task force when
11 we needed it the most and the pure arrogance by
12 the Chief and the Mayor are the root of the
13 problem.
14 When our Mayor instructs the police
15 department to investigate hit and runs more so
16 than opioid related deaths, it causes me to ask
17 politely once again, what are the provisional
18 drug overdose death data and the drug addiction
19 prevalence rates?
20 One of you on Council knows
21 personally how it feels to struggle with
22 dependency. I'm a huge fan of anyone who can
23 dig -- hit rock bottom and find a way to climb.
24 Those who care prevent holes from being dug.
25 This number is critical to determine
13
1 where we are and where we need to be. 1.2
2 million pounds, that's how much the 4014
3 weighs. That amazing piece of machinery
4 traveled over bridges that are over a century
5 old.
6 I highly recommend an independent
7 engineer look at the very deficient bridges.
8 How about the Scranton School District
9 engineer? After all, we lent them a garbage
10 truck. The roads in Sheptytskyi, Ukraine, our
11 sister city, are better than ours.
12 Any word from the administration
13 about the pave cuts on Stafford Avenue in front
14 of PA Water? It's a newly paved road. How
15 many others are there?
16 I asked a week ago, the Congress --
17 or the Council gather information about these
18 pave cuts. We all notice the extra set of
19 doors to prevent questions or concerns being
20 addressed properly.
21 This uninviting administration
22 outsourced things that included pave cut
23 inspection, tree removal, most of the legal
24 issues and critical positions of the engineer,
25 services without smile.
14
1 Unlike the county opening a box of
2 Cracker Jacks, it's shocked to find a 33
3 percent increase the current administration and
4 unused funds proceeds from the sale of the
5 Sewer Authority.
6 I would hope that the five year PEL
7 outlook will show that the current Treasurer
8 can reach that glass ceiling. Tom Galella, a
9 friend, a former City Treasurer to the Connors'
10 administration was that ceiling. Twelve years,
11 12 balanced budgets, zero increased taxes, same
12 continued services without one pool closed.
13 While this administration is
14 unavailable and unwilling, Mayor Connors and
15 those around his administration always looked
16 for answers to the even complicated questions
17 or concerns. PEL was needed because of the
18 miscalculations by prior administrations.
19 I provided excellent suggestions
20 that became reality to prevent tax increases,
21 zero pool closures, reduced or outsource
22 services during those 12 years. Our city was
23 blessed to have a great Council members.
24 I spearheaded the garbage tax fee --
25 sorry, garbage fee, $74.18 like Allentown,
15
1 placement of delinquent taxes and trash fees to
2 help to collect $21.2 million for the city, the
3 school, the county, and library system and
4 recommended refinancing the Sewer Authority to
5 save residents $4 million out of their pockets,
6 just to name a few.
7 I know a great deal about the
8 Pennsylvania Economy League. This
9 administration and PEL made a costly error by
10 removing the distressed status causing a
11 shortfall between 2.3 and 3.1 million dollars.
12 Fiscal responsibility should have included a
13 way to make up the privilege to work tax
14 imposed by PEL.
15 I recommend making the HUP test a
16 priority in imposing the hotel tax. Other
17 people's money, what a concept. Property
18 owners are being henpecked enough, reduced
19 taxes, closed doors, failing infrastructure,
20 safety concerns, the looming tax increase are
21 not wanted.
22 While the Mayor looks to step down,
23 I ask the five of you to step up. What do you
24 see on your travels? Bring your own list next
25 week. Good evening, Council, and to our
16
1 beautiful city.
2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next
3 speaker is John Pocius.
4 MR. POCIUS: John Pocius, resident
5 of Minooka section of Scranton and a
6 parishioner of saint -- Divine Mercy Parish at
7 the Church of St. Joseph. I'm here to speak on
8 Item 7-A with your pleasure tonight. I was --
9 got -- I was out of town last week and could
10 not make it back for the public hearing.
11 My granddaughter -- our
12 granddaughter Riley graduated high school and
13 from Unionville High School and she -- they
14 graduated at the University of Delaware, Bob
15 Carpenter Center. So, it was a wonderful day.
16 But I'd like to speak on 7-A. I
17 have thoroughly reviewed the traffic report
18 prepared by Reilly Associates. And it's right
19 on. It's prepared with field measurements,
20 field observations, sound engineering judgment,
21 and reference to the appropriate technical
22 document -- technical books and guidelines.
23 So with that said, the ordinance --
24 what's proposed, I believe, is in the best
25 interest of that corridor right there.
17
1 However, we have a lot of our neighbors and
2 parishioners back here. And we had some calls
3 and meetings.
4 And what we're trying to say is,
5 until this project -- it's not under -- it's
6 not underway yet. So why should this be
7 instituted right now with no parking and
8 one-way streets and everything?
9 So what we would ask the Council to
10 do is, if you could hold this legislation,
11 which I believe is 7-A, and ask for the
12 amendments to allow the stop sign -- the
13 four-way stop to go forward where in the last
14 light -- it become effective, but to hold off
15 on the -- on the establishment of the one way
16 and all the signage that goes with it until the
17 developer builds the apartments and receives a
18 Certificate of Occupancy, which means they can
19 move in and out.
20 He could have the leased, but they
21 couldn't move in. So that would be the time to
22 do it. So that -- I think that's a pretty
23 reasonable request. So with nothing happening,
24 why should we go through the inconvenience and
25 what's work -- what's there now is working. So
18
1 let's not, like, mess it up.
2 So that's what I formally request.
3 And, Attorney Gilbride, I don't think this
4 starts the clock again, does it? Because could
5 it just be -- from my experience -- yeah, so
6 you know, I've asked you to make those
7 amendments to the legislation and bring it back
8 one more time for final passage if it's next
9 week or whatever.
10 In kind of a related matter, when
11 dealing with some of the -- receiving phone
12 calls at my house from some of the concerned
13 residents and parishioners, I was told of a
14 situation I wasn't aware of -- some people
15 might know.
16 Tractor trailers are somehow trying
17 to get to the Birney Plaza through Cedar Avenue
18 and getting hung up because their GPS is
19 probably taking them -- that's the shortest
20 route. So can we ask the city engineer to look
21 at some -- maybe innovative signing to, you
22 know, say -- we used to use this one sign when
23 I was the engineer, no outlet, local traffic
24 only.
25 So the locals knew, but anybody else
19
1 would think they were going to hit a dead end
2 because when you get to the end of Cedar Avenue
3 and Corey Street, it's a quick right and a
4 quick left.
5 And there's no way in the world --
6 and they're woken up with beepers in the middle
7 of the night and everything like that. So I
8 wanted to bring that up. That's a separate
9 matter.
10 MR. SCHUSTER: Is that -- is that
11 the area that goes down into the plaza's
12 parking lot?
13 MR. POCIUS: Yep. Yeah.
14 MR. MARK MCANDREW: The old
15 Ponderosa.
16 MR. POCIUS: Yeah, but if you --
17 your GPS, that's probably the shortest route.
18 So anybody coming in at three in the morning to
19 make a delivery down there is just going to go
20 down there.
21 And then he's -- he's with a 55 foot
22 trailer back in there and he's trying to back
23 out of Cedar Avenue in the middle of the night
24 with the beepers going off.
25 So if that'd be something else they
20
1 could look at. But I would hope you would look
2 at this request -- and I don't think
3 everybody's going to get up and speak. Maybe
4 nobody will get up and speak besides me; but,
5 you know, they all support this amendment to
6 the ordinance, I think so.
7 So we're trying to, you know, just
8 make this work for us in the interim. And but,
9 like I said, this is -- this will stand up far
10 as my experience, this -- this report will
11 stand up. It's solid, you know what I mean?
12 Because I know Paul. I've known him for 20
13 years. And he's black and white.
14 There's no gray for Paul. And it's
15 either by the book or there's no way around it.
16 He's a good engineer. So it's a great report.
17 So thank you very much for your time and
18 appreciate it. Any questions, Frank knows
19 where to get ahold of me.
20 MR. SCHUSTER: All right, thank you
21 very much.
22 MR. POCIUS: Thank you very much.
23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Frank, can you
24 send out those signage requests?
25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll send
21
1 it in the morning.
2 MR. SCHUSTER: Our next speaker is
3 Les Spindler.
4 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,
5 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,
6 homeowner. Here we go again with this -- these
7 illegal vehicles on the streets in Tripp Park.
8 Saturday afternoon I'm walking my dog. As soon
9 as we get out of the house, these two idiots on
10 mini bikes come flying by.
11 I yelled at them. They don't
12 listen. Going down Dorothy Street there was a
13 big softball tournament at the complex down
14 there. There were people all over the place.
15 Those idiots went flying by. There's people
16 all over.
17 They stopped, like, in the middle of
18 the block. They were talking to people there.
19 And I could see people with -- they were upset.
20 They were looking at those kids. And but they
21 saw -- I was going to call the police. By the
22 time I got the phone out of my pocket, they saw
23 me and they took off.
24 Something's got to be done. Either
25 it's these mini bikes or ATVs or scooters. As
22
1 I said in the past, the town of Shamokin fixed
2 the problem. I brought it up in the past.
3 They have so many of these vehicles they
4 confiscated, they don't know what to do with
5 them.
6 Why can't we fix this problem in our
7 city? We have a lot more resources than
8 Shamokin does. I think Chief Carroll should
9 give the Police Chief of Shamokin a call and
10 see how they're doing this getting those
11 vehicles off the streets. It's a safety
12 hazard.
13 Moving on, another one of my
14 favorite subjects, pave cuts that aren't being
15 fixed. The 100 block of South Main, I brought
16 up the corner of Clearview and North Main
17 Avenue, same way. I said, week after week
18 after week Pennoni is not doing their job. And
19 the city's paying them for doing nothing. The
20 corner of Clearview and North Main is a mess.
21 Next thing, I see kratom is still in
22 Eighth Order. What -- what's the holdup? Can
23 somebody tell me?
24 MR. SCHUSTER: So we were waiting on
25 some of the information that came one of --
23
1 some other cities in Pennsylvania had passed
2 similar ordinances. And we had communication
3 with those cities. And they passed us on the
4 information to review.
5 So in case there's litigation that
6 occurs, we're reviewing that information to
7 make sure our ordinance has it included.
8 MR. SPINDLER: Maybe you should have
9 looked into this before you even put it on the
10 agenda because the day it was tabled, most of
11 you people up there said, oh, we don't want
12 this dragging out. It's dragged out already
13 further than it should have been.
14 Next thing, Green Ridge Street
15 Bridge, I was happy to see last -- yesterday I
16 went by and they were milling the street from
17 where CVS is up to the new bridge. So it looks
18 like they're going to pave that part. Then
19 they have to pave up above the bridge.
20 So from what I could see, that
21 should be done soon, not by November -- what --
22 what I -- what I'm hearing people say. Next
23 thing, not everybody was here last week when I
24 talked about this, the Euclid Avenue -- the new
25 one-way street there.
24
1 Mr. Mark McAndrew, you'll like this
2 one. I was here a few weeks ago and I said
3 they need more signage. So I don't know who
4 put this sign up, but it was -- it says this
5 road is permanently a one way. And it was
6 printed on a piece of cardboard, piece of
7 cardboard.
8 I said -- I said I hope last week --
9 I said I hope that didn't break PennDOT's
10 budget. Unbelievable. Then the next day I saw
11 they painted fluorescent orange around the
12 sign. But it's still there, cardboard sign
13 saying it's one way. I asked for signs that'll
14 say one way signs that said do not enter or
15 whatever.
16 And Councilman Flynn spoke about the
17 signs that he asked for. And I -- he got it
18 right away. I hope they weren't cardboard.
19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: That sign still
20 there?
21 MR. SPINDLER: Oh, it's still there.
22 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg,
23 take care of that, please. That's ridiculous.
24 MR. SPINDLER: And it's totally
25 unprofessional on a piece of cardboard. That's
25
1 all I have tonight. Thank you for your time.
2 MR. SCHUSTER: And then, Mr.
3 Spindler, we did get an update on the Green
4 Ridge Street Bridge. And we were told that the
5 Green Ridge Street Bridge Project is expected
6 to be open with the final traffic pattern in
7 August. Thanks. Our next speaker is Lee
8 Morgan.
9 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council.
10 My first comment is, you know, we're talking
11 about a train here today. And I'd just like to
12 say that I remember the time that Bob Bolus
13 brought a train here from New Hope that was
14 built in Scranton at one time, six or seven
15 tractor trailers, really helped Steamtown out a
16 lot.
17 And maybe someday somebody will
18 recognize the contributions that he made when
19 he did that. The other thing I have here is,
20 you know, Mayor Connors was mentioned here
21 tonight. You know, a lot of people may
22 disagree with my opinions. But we need another
23 Mayor in this city like Mayor Connors.
24 He really had a feel for the
25 residents of the city. I know I sat in his
26
1 office a couple of times. He was a very
2 welcoming man. He had a genuine concern for
3 the residents. And it -- it just wasn't him.
4 It was Mrs. Novembrino. They were always
5 talking the city up.
6 Chief Clay, people that are
7 forgotten probably today. But just a totally
8 different kind of leadership. And the Councils
9 at that time were just really different. You
10 can't understand that. But maybe there's
11 archives where if you have an interest, you
12 might want to watch it.
13 But you know, for somebody that was
14 always trying to make the city better and had a
15 general concern for the residents, it had to be
16 Mayor Connors. And, you know, I don't know how
17 you feel about that. But the other thing I'd
18 like to say here is that we need a general
19 change in direction.
20 And I know that the Mayor is running
21 for a different elective office. But it's my
22 opinion she's not competent. And I don't get
23 the impression that this Council's competent
24 either. You know, you try to conduct business
25 in the city. So I have to go to Wilkes Barre
27
1 for a food wholesaler, power equipment, repair
2 supplies, you know, carburetors, whatever.
3 I have to go to Wilkes Barre for
4 that. There's just -- everything's been
5 stripped out of the city. Who's in business
6 here? You look at the downtown, there's almost
7 nothing here. You've allowed the University of
8 Scranton to just -- and nonprofits to just roll
9 right over the city.
10 But there's no business here. It's
11 just devoid of all of it. And then we get
12 elected officials who just ignore all the
13 problems. You know, we had a neighborhood
14 association member come here the other day and
15 talk about somebody I'd assume in Green Ridge
16 putting a bench in a flower garden.
17 We've got massive amounts of
18 juvenile delinquency. I don't know if that's
19 the correct terminology and crime. And, you
20 know, I'm outside the city talking to people,
21 and they say, How'd that city get like that?
22 They tell me the crime statistics.
23 I mean, I'm a resident here. But
24 they're just shocked. And, you know, we need
25 answers and solutions. And it's nice to, you
28
1 know, sit and put your suits on. And but
2 listen to some of the other speakers who got up
3 here and spoke about problems.
4 I mean, the list -- that doesn't
5 even cover the list. And we have no solutions.
6 We come in here. We watch public caucuses. I
7 don't know how much knowledge you have. But I
8 know that we're not finding solutions to the
9 problems we're having. We're paving streets
10 with no curbs.
11 We have a lot of places with no
12 sidewalks. We don't know how many storm
13 collection drains we have in the city. We just
14 don't have any grasp of anything. And we
15 should. You know, the other thing that's
16 amazing is, we've taken the Scranton Parking
17 Authority and you go to park in downtown
18 Scranton, you go to put money in the kiosks, I
19 went to four one day to try to put money in
20 them, none of them worked.
21 And yet, we're shielding these
22 people from taxation. But the average
23 residents are getting taxed out of everything
24 they own. And we can't even get a letter from
25 the Council to the PUC acknowledging that
29
1 there's residents in the city that can't afford
2 water or sewer bills.
3 And yet, the Sewer Authority still
4 operates and the Parking Authority. It's all
5 just utter silliness. And we've got a Mayor
6 that's got everybody locked out of City Hall.
7 Where's the accountability? Thank you.
8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would
9 anyone else like to address Council?
10 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.
11 First of all, coming in -- driving into here at
12 the end of Dix Court, it's lovely. We have a
13 giant pit trap at the end of the alleyway here,
14 just coming into City Hall itself.
15 Beforehand with the construction
16 that was going on in the parking lot, they said
17 all those digs that are in the middle of the
18 road aren't -- they didn't do them. They're
19 not theirs because we asked them one time
20 walking in can they throw some gravel in there.
21 They said, oh, we have beforehand,
22 but it just gets bumped out. The next week it
23 was filled in with some gravel. What's
24 interesting about that is the fact that if you
25 take a look at the digs where the chunks are
30
1 out of the roadway, they go right into the
2 parking lot and right to that -- right into
3 that construction site now.
4 So obviously when the workers said
5 we didn't do that, well, it seems like they
6 did. At the corner of Dix Court, it looks like
7 they've dug out because there was a submerged
8 gas valve underneath the roadway. All well and
9 good if they want to get to it, raise it up, do
10 whatever they want to to it.
11 But it would be nice if they put a
12 metal plate over it rather than leaving a
13 gigantic pit trap for people to duck down into
14 and sharp ends on the pavement that it's cut so
15 it'll rip off tires, bust the bead, do
16 whatever.
17 It shouldn't be left as an open pit
18 trap just because they want a convenience to
19 get to the valve. They either fix it in one
20 day or they cover it up. They don't leave --
21 they should not be allowed to leave pit traps.
22 Oak Avenue and Phinney -- Phinney
23 Street. Last year it was the city came along
24 and threw some patchwork in there, lightly
25 tapped it down. And I said it wasn't done. It
31
1 wasn't pressed properly. They did it right
2 before winter just to get it done with. And
3 it's coming up again.
4 It's on a -- water going down the
5 street. So it's going to just slowly erode and
6 then rip it up. And it's all re-rippled, and
7 you got a hole in between the blacktop that
8 they just shoveled in there.
9 Further down on the northwest side,
10 there's a square cut out that is now collapsing
11 into the ground. Well, we had a water main up
12 the top that broke. So I'm not sure if that's
13 collateral to that. But it's an obvious square
14 from a cut beforehand that was done. That's
15 sinking.
16 At Phinney and Doud Street on the
17 left side, we have another square pavement cut
18 once again, ducking -- ducking down and
19 collapsing. At Doud and Crane Street, there is
20 a 26 by 26 inch pothole. One pothole in the
21 street was 5 inches deep.
22 And the neighbors came out and
23 eventually after -- probably about a month and
24 a half, put an orange traffic cone in the
25 pothole so it would be visible.
32
1 Trash came by today and it looks
2 like the trash company -- the DPW might have
3 taken the orange cone out of the pothole on the
4 roadway because it's no longer there. On Oak
5 and Phinney, we had a pole replacement. Great.
6 They put in a new pole.
7 They came back a half a year later,
8 pulled out the old pole in there and left the
9 ground where the old pole was ripped up, the
10 grass ripped up there, dirt not filled in,
11 nothing compacted.
12 They just slammed a new pole in
13 there, took out the old one and left and did
14 nothing to reclaim the area between the
15 sidewalk and the curbs in front of people's
16 houses. That's not a professional job. That's
17 grab it, smash it, and run.
18 Now, moving onto the 3100 of Cedar.
19 You've heard it from me every single week that
20 this has been on the agenda. It should not be
21 one way. It should have no parking on the east
22 side of it. But as it was brought up today,
23 there is no rush to get this done.
24 The buildings aren't there.
25 Construction is going to take a while. And
33
1 there's plenty of opportunity to look at it.
2 So I don't know why this was mandated as part
3 of the study, especially when the Crane Street
4 side of it says that since the Crane Street has
5 parking on both sides where people park there
6 for the church and it's only for temporary
7 church things, we should wait on it, come back
8 and look at it after the project is done and
9 make a decision on that point.
10 Yet, on the 3100 side we have the
11 same exact situation. And it says we've got to
12 do it now rather than wait on it, see what's
13 going on for the same conditional traffic. I
14 would ask that you either strike it from
15 this -- the one way or as it was said, put it
16 on hold, wait for the construction to go up,
17 and let it come back here then.
18 It's not that important. But it's
19 an inconvenience for the neighborhood. And
20 really, it needs to be addressed once the
21 traffic is in place. Thank you and good night.
22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would
23 anyone else like to address Council?
24 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik
25 Little from Scranton. Scranton has to adopt.
34
1 Everybody has to adopt. Things are changing
2 fast. 65 percent of the population in Scranton
3 is elderly. And all the things that go on just
4 don't make -- make sense.
5 All these disparate little groups,
6 and they get funding. They have somebody who
7 can write a grant to get funding and all these
8 501C3's and NGOs. And I noticed in tonight's
9 thing you're voting on the reappointment --
10 reappointment -- two reappointments, seven or
11 7-B and C for Scranton Environmental Advisory
12 Council. Is that a paid position?
13 MR. SCHUSTER: No, it's not.
14 MR. LITTLE: Do you know what they
15 do?
16 MR. SCHUSTER: They're advising on
17 environmental issues in the City of Scranton.
18 It's just an advisory board. They don't really
19 make recommendations or anything that --
20 MR. LITTLE: Okay. I mean, I'm
21 looking at it. And I'm, you know, I've been
22 going to the Scranton Housing Authority
23 meeting. And it's the same sort of thing, you
24 know, it's like the people are appointed by the
25 Mayor. It's a volunteer position.
35
1 And yet the policies just keep going
2 on the way they've been going. I think it has
3 to be looked at from a very top to bottom thing
4 in a real way. I mean, with all these --
5 Democrat/Republican really doesn't -- really
6 have to do with it the way it comes because
7 both of them are stealing from Social Security,
8 stealing from Medicare and Medicaid.
9 And then you got the media, you
10 know, saying that this candidate is cutting
11 Medicare and everything. But they don't --
12 they don't know the bills. And this is
13 happening all over the country.
14 I think the thing that happened in
15 Los Angeles where they come in with 24,000
16 votes all for the second place candidate, you
17 know, in the night, everything is sort of
18 rigged around a system here.
19 And the Green New Deal, that's the
20 big system at the top that came out when they
21 were telling us, you know, when I was a kid,
22 you know, get rid of the brown paper bags or
23 else we're going to lose all the trees. And,
24 you know, the earth will be done forever unless
25 we get plastic bags.
36
1 So now we got the entire earth
2 covered in, you know, micro PSA plastics, and
3 people are dying of every kind of disease. I
4 think it becomes a distraction, all these jobs
5 that are handed out. And, you know, it should
6 be business. It should be geared toward
7 business.
8 And but with the data centers, it's
9 crazy. And business of Scranton is always in
10 the realm of greater Scranton, you know, people
11 talk about Wilkes Barre, and, you know, I have
12 to go to Dunmore to get my shoes fixed, you
13 know.
14 There's only so much money, and it
15 has to be used in the right way. And this
16 thing in Los Angeles, I mean, the Mayor was a
17 loud communist, you know, going to Cuba and
18 emptied -- they emptied the reservoirs. And
19 she burned down the city of Los Angeles.
20 And, you know, I think people have
21 to understand the big picture, and especially
22 with Trump, because it's always no kings. I
23 hate Trump and everything. And I have a lot of
24 issues with what Trump has been doing lately
25 with Israel.
37
1 But he's saving our republic. 1871
2 going back to maritime law, our country has
3 been under the British Empire for a long time.
4 And people should be taught this in school.
5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would
6 anyone else like to address Council?
7 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.
8 MOTIONS.
9 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you
10 have any motions or comments tonight?
11 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yeah, just a couple
12 of things. We had received a few e-mails from
13 the Hill Neighborhood Association President.
14 So I won't go through each of those. I know
15 those were sent to 311 as well as to Mr.
16 Voldenberg. So I know those will -- those
17 complaints will get to the right place.
18 But there was something that he had
19 contacted me individually about regarding the
20 crosswalks over at Harrison Avenue and East
21 Gibson Street. So at the intersection they
22 were done a couple of years ago, but not -- but
23 not last year with all the newer ones that were
24 done.
25 So they are fading. So if the city
38
1 could revisit repainting that crosswalk at his
2 request, I'd like to send that forward.
3 And there are a couple of other
4 crosswalk concerns that I had too. I
5 previously brought up the one over at East
6 Gibson and North Webster Avenue that was not
7 replaced. So that was a new one that was done
8 last year. Then there was utility work that
9 was performed at that intersection.
10 Now, the utility work is complete,
11 and it's been paved curb to curb. But the
12 crosswalk was not replaced at that intersection
13 as we were told that it would be, so to hold
14 them accountable for that.
15 And additionally, once again, going
16 along this street, East Gibson, the crosswalk
17 at Prescott and East Gibson, so that's one
18 block from Prescott Elementary School that
19 was -- for some reason that was never, like, a
20 full crosswalk with the larger blocks like the
21 other ones were.
22 That's simply, like, two line
23 stripes. So it's -- it's not highly visible.
24 And there are a lot of students that -- that
25 will be crossing there once the school year
39
1 starts again come the end of August. And my
2 daughter will be one of them who will be using
3 that crosswalk on a daily basis to go up to
4 Prescott when she starts there for
5 kindergarten.
6 So I'm excited for that, but also
7 want to make sure that she's safe, of course.
8 And that's all that I have for tonight. Thank
9 you.
10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Sean
11 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?
12 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a
13 few. So, first I'm going to read off some
14 responses to questions I had last week. I
15 asked if -- I asked for Penn Ambulance to come
16 into caucus because we know we have an issue
17 with not having an emergency -- a dedicated
18 emergency service.
19 And we wanted to let the
20 administration know in case they had any
21 questions or concerns or if they wanted to
22 participate in it. The response we got was,
23 the city administration has already begun the
24 process of issuing an RFP.
25 The administration is taking this
40
1 approach to ensure the process is open and
2 transparent and gives interested providers a
3 fair level playing field, makes complete sense.
4 Councilman Schuster made a motion also to have,
5 like, kind of make -- to ask us -- to have this
6 city administration meet with them because
7 they're the only one in town, the only one
8 trying to meet with us to partner with us.
9 Their response was similar to my
10 response, but basically that they don't feel
11 like they should be meeting with them because
12 they're having an RFP. And they want to keep
13 it as unfair -- so nobody gets an unfair
14 advantage and keep it open and transparent,
15 which again that is completely fine. I agree
16 with that.
17 My only concern is when we met with
18 the city, myself and Councilman McAndrew and
19 Attorney Gilbride regarding this issue, we
20 asked at that time are you looking at RFPs,
21 RFQs, anything? Are you looking and
22 discussing? They said no.
23 I said, Have you spoke to any other
24 possible vendors? They said, yes, Geisinger.
25 So, if they're not willing to meet with PA
41
1 Ambulance, but they're going to -- they already
2 met with Geisinger and had this discussion
3 because the question I asked is, if PA
4 Ambulance just packs up tomorrow and they're
5 not going to service our city, who will do it
6 immediately?
7 They said Geisinger. And it was
8 interesting too because that was a meeting or a
9 conversation that supposedly Geisinger reached
10 out to them. But yet, asking if PA Ambulance
11 was, you know, not going to be around would
12 they be able to handle it. So kind of
13 concerning to me that they already met with
14 somebody before they possibly issued this RFP.
15 So can we ask when they made a
16 decision to have the discussion with Fitch and
17 Associates who's the consultant they hired
18 regarding this issue? Can you ask when they
19 started the process with them for the RFP and
20 see if the timelines match up?
21 Was it before they met with
22 Geisinger, after they met with Geisinger? If
23 we're going to have a level playing field,
24 let's have a level playing field. My next
25 question, so the Unsheltered Task Force, we
42
1 know this has been an issue on the homeless in
2 the area.
3 There's been a task force that the
4 Mayor put together. There's about 50 people in
5 it. We aren't getting clear answers from the
6 people who are on the -- on the board or on the
7 task force. And a majority of it is
8 representatives of the nonprofits who are the
9 boots on the ground and help the homeless.
10 So I asked if we can invite a number
11 of them to the -- to a caucus. Their response
12 was, this reads as informative declaration, has
13 Councilman McAndrew identified the select
14 representatives he wishes to invite? No,
15 there's 50 people. It's their -- it's their
16 task force.
17 It's the Mayor and administration's
18 task force that they put together. Like I
19 said, we're not gonna have all 50 people here.
20 You can't do it. I would like them to select.
21 I don't know if there's somebody who's a
22 president or vice president or somebody who's a
23 point person.
24 Ask them to select some people to
25 come here so we could finally -- us ask
43
1 questions that we have, but also the question
2 that the residents have been bringing out --
3 bringing up to us the last six months regarding
4 the homeless issue.
5 So if you can ask them to let them
6 pick five or six people, whoever they think
7 would be the best to come here. Let's -- let's
8 see if they will be willing to come to speak to
9 us.
10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. The
12 next one is, there is a new position, Parks
13 Parks Manager for Nay Aug. I have some
14 concerns with it because it clashes with the
15 roles and the duties of the Scranton
16 Municipal -- Municipal Parks Authority.
17 All right, I asked if we can have a
18 meeting, myself, the directors of the parks,
19 anybody from the administration and a few
20 members of the SMRI Board. They didn't even
21 respond to my questions. They didn't even
22 include in their -- in their responses. So
23 they ignored that.
24 So if we can ask again, I believe
25 they sent the name down to be voted on the next
44
1 couple weeks. I have a concern with the
2 position. Some of the duties that we got sent
3 back conflict -- are actually the duties of the
4 SMRA Board. A lot of it is handling the fee
5 rentals for renting out the pavilion or the
6 courts or anything that goes on there.
7 I don't -- and the authority is
8 separate from the city. They don't get any
9 money from the city. They make their money on
10 the parking agreement they have with CMC, the
11 pool passes, and the light show and all the --
12 all the rentals and everything they get from,
13 like, the coffee shop and the rentals,
14 that's -- that's how they make up their budget.
15 I don't feel comfortable with a city
16 employee now handling that and commingling
17 money. So you're going to have a parks manager
18 collecting those fees, running point on that.
19 Where's the money going to go to? Is the money
20 going to go to the city? Or is it going to go
21 to the SMRA Authority like it should be?
22 So there's a lot of concerns with
23 this position. I mean, there's only two parks
24 workers who work directly on the park. So
25 we're going to have one person manage them for
45
1 nine months and then a few lifeguards for
2 another three months.
3 Should this be a seasonal position?
4 Again, I think it's a waste of money. I don't
5 think there's ever been any issues between how
6 good of a job the Board does and the
7 volunteers. It works. I don't know why we're
8 changing it. So can we please ask before it
9 goes any further can we have this meeting?
10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.
11 McAndrew.
12 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: We were also
13 expected to get a response from PEL regarding a
14 five year forecast that myself and my
15 colleagues want for the budget upcoming. It
16 was supposed to be done by January. I asked,
17 you know, why is it late, when's the expected
18 date to get -- to get the information?
19 They said PEL -- they'll reach out
20 to PEL. We reached out to PEL ourselves. And
21 we found out that they already gave the city
22 the information. And they're waiting for the
23 city to make edits on it. So can we -- I ask,
24 can we have a list of what are the edits --
25 what the edits were so we could see what they
46
1 were?
2 But also, when can we get a
3 document, and when did they originally give
4 them the document because they're saying that
5 they never got the document yet or they're
6 waiting for them. But I think clearly they had
7 the document.
8 Finally, got a response from PEL
9 today that they sent to the city for revisions.
10 They sent it back. And there was an updated
11 document that went out Monday. We still don't
12 have it. So can we see if we can get a copy of
13 that? Is that the final document? You know,
14 we're three weeks late with this. And we know
15 budget season is coming up. So we really can
16 use that.
17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
18 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: City Hall was
19 closed the other day for -- yesterday for Big
20 Boy, which I can, you know, I understand it's
21 work from home. But I think the biggest
22 problem is, Frank, you can correct me if I'm
23 wrong.
24 Was an e-mail sent out Friday night
25 to staff saying that they're going to be --
47
1 work from home or closed on Friday or on
2 Monday?
3 MR. VOLDENBERG: Actually, that was
4 on Thursday, that went out.
5 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thursday, okay.
6 The public wasn't made aware, in my opinion, or
7 from my view until Monday. Why couldn't that
8 go out sooner? Why couldn't people be made
9 aware that City Hall was going to be closed
10 on -- when we put that message out there on
11 Thursday or Friday?
12 Why do we wait until Monday in the
13 morning to do it? A lot of people might have
14 business to do to come get permits or anything
15 they need to do with meetings in the city. So
16 I don't know why it was such a delayed response
17 to tell the public.
18 And also, now working from home, do
19 we -- are we equipped to have everybody who
20 could work from home? Does everybody have a
21 laptop? Does everybody have duties to work
22 from home? So please, can you send that down
23 to -- a breakdown of every department of what
24 they -- what materials they have to work from
25 home and what duties they would be tasked for
48
1 or tasked with?
2 I also know code enforcement reports
3 to City Hall. But I don't really think they
4 need to be working from home. They could be
5 driving around the city checking out
6 everything. But my understanding they were
7 just gonna be on call that day.
8 So I think we need to have a clear
9 cut of what it means, you know, working from
10 home when City Hall is closed.
11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those
12 questions.
13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And then finally
14 the cameras on Pretzel Park. They ignored that
15 question too. We asked again for an updated
16 response, at least I didn't see it on my
17 questions. So can we please ask when we have
18 an anticipated date on when the cameras will go
19 up?
20 I actually believe that they're
21 putting cameras up on Court Street because
22 there's illegal dumping going off in that area.
23 So can you confirm if that's true if they're --
24 if they're putting cameras up?
25 Because if they're putting up
49
1 cameras for that, I think they could obviously
2 put up cameras in the park.
3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And
5 I know, sorry, that was long. But that's all I
6 got. So thank you. Have a good week.
7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you, Mr. Mark
8 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?
9 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I have a couple.
10 So first and foremost, Mr. Pocius, thank you
11 for coming in. It's refreshing to hear -- to
12 hear a common sense approach around here.
13 They're very -- they don't happen that often,
14 you know, with regards to our legislation
15 tonight.
16 It makes perfect -- perfect sense
17 that we wait and, you know, amend this
18 legislation in front of us to wait for the one
19 way signs until the Certificate of Occupancy.
20 It's just makes sense and stop -- one way signs
21 take minutes to put up, maybe a little longer
22 if they're not cardboard, right, Les?
23 So I'm in full agreement with an
24 amendment, friendly amendment, whatever we need
25 to do to lessen the burden on you, folks, that
50
1 it's go -- you know, it's coming. So thank you
2 again for coming and presenting.
3 We talked about bridges too. Elm
4 Street Bridge Project, I inquired, I don't
5 know, in the middle of the winter. A couple of
6 people came to me that's, you know, and -- and
7 we were initially told it should be done June
8 or July of this summer.
9 Mr. Voldenberg, could you please --
10 because from -- you can't get anywhere near to
11 see the progress of it. I don't know about
12 anybody else. But you just can't get close
13 enough to see where they're at.
14 And I'm not an expert. But -- but
15 if you could please reach out to them and see
16 if they're on target for completion. It's the
17 middle of June, so everybody's been waiting.
18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. Mr.
20 Srebro from West Mountain reached out to me.
21 First of all, he started reaching out to us a
22 few weeks ago, maybe a month ago about the pod
23 issue within Scranton.
24 And, you know, it's -- we've been
25 back and forth with administration tinkering
51
1 the language in zoning because there was never
2 a specific word pod when it was initially
3 written.
4 But I'm happy to say that -- and I'm
5 only tying this into another pod, but we had
6 the resources and the wherewithal to get rid of
7 that pod utilizing our zoning or whatever
8 enforcement tactic they needed to do. Well, we
9 need to do it again because there is another
10 pod that's been brought to my attention.
11 It's been brought to our attention a
12 couple times on 1828 Swetland Street. It's
13 there three years, three years too long. So
14 may -- would you please reach out to code or
15 whatever department that handled this -- I
16 don't know if it's a combination of code
17 enforcement and highway with the police.
18 But can you tell them there's
19 another one out there that really needs to be
20 taken care of?
21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
22 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. So
23 another -- this is an issue in South Side. So
24 some of you might remember last August there
25 was a horrible storm and people lost water
52
1 heaters, and God bless them, and furnaces over
2 in this -- this area.
3 I know throughout the city people
4 are dealing with it. But I just remember the
5 ones that reached out to me. One was on Warner
6 Court or Warner Street. And also it was
7 brought to my attention that right now this
8 continues.
9 So Warner Street I remember reaching
10 out to administration. Their fix with the city
11 engineer were curbs. That's not working I'm
12 told now. So maybe that was a quick fix. But
13 it's not the fix we need.
14 So in addition to that, it's Powell
15 Court, all right, and it's behind, like, you
16 know, 3 -- 3263 Birney Avenue. There's
17 constant flooding in the alley, three times in
18 the past month. These people are losing their
19 basements.
20 They're losing not just water
21 heaters, some of the stuff they collected and
22 enjoyed their whole lives. And you know what
23 it's like to get flood insurance around here,
24 you know, it's ridiculous.
25 So my understanding is this
53
1 gentleman that I spoke to today, he's reached
2 out to administration with really no response.
3 He said that he heard that Reilly is doing a
4 study. All right.
5 So, first of all, can we find out if
6 that study's being done and what the outcome
7 was if it occurred and the status of it and
8 remind them that they might have to take a look
9 at the Warner area where the curbs that they
10 put in is not -- is not working because I got a
11 bunch of pictures and videos, Mr. Voldenberg,
12 I'll send you after the meeting or tomorrow
13 that it's where it all starts. And it
14 continues to cause this whole problem.
15 And my understanding is the
16 gentleman talked to Reilly that might have came
17 over or the water -- no, the water -- I don't
18 know, one of them -- one or both. But the
19 water company informed him that they did their
20 own study.
21 But if that's the case, I would like
22 if we can get a copy of it because this
23 gentleman can't from within administration,
24 okay. If you could please inquire about that
25 even though they're coming next week? Just
54
1 start that, if you can.
2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.
3 McAndrew.
4 MR. MARK MCANDREW: In case we
5 forget to ask them. And they're also told by
6 the EPA that the drains, which there's two
7 drains in that alley. Obviously they're not
8 sufficient to take on the water. And that
9 they're only -- they're 6 inch.
10 And EPA says you can't get any
11 larger than that for whatever reasons. They
12 weren't given a reason. So let's try to get
13 that reason. And also, we go back to the blame
14 game. So as of right now, them two storm
15 drains with the issues, the water company says
16 they're not ours. City says they're not ours.
17 We've been dealing with this as long
18 as I'm on Council. We ask yearly, monthly,
19 weekly, please give us a list, not a map,
20 because the map doesn't make sense to
21 everybody. I want a list of what drain --
22 finally want a list.
23 I -- I -- everybody up on this dais
24 has asked this question more than once. Please
25 provide a list because the residents -- and
55
1 post it somewhere on the website. This poor
2 guy is fighting for his cellar, fighting for
3 his neighbors, and he's told it's not ours.
4 It's not ours. That's -- that's -- that's --
5 that's irresponsible.
6 Everybody in this room pays a lot of
7 taxes. And to hear that all the time, it's not
8 ours, it's not ours. We pay high water rates
9 too. We got to hold these people accountable.
10 We have to hold the city accountable to get
11 this list complete so we know whose are whose
12 finally. All right? Thank you.
13 What else do I have? I think -- I
14 know I have one more. I'm sorry. I have to
15 open my iPad here. I always want to open it.
16 All right. So a gentleman also reached out to
17 me. This is off -- this is on Orchard Street
18 and South Side, right?
19 There's a landlord that on 847
20 Orchard Street, it's a multiple apartment unit,
21 had the second and third floor porches removed.
22 A permit was issued. All right, the concern is
23 the third floor. They blocked -- they blocked
24 the third floor egress on the porch and
25 eliminated altogether.
56
1 So, I mean, I know that you need a
2 second set of steps coming out the back from an
3 apartment or an egress, whatever you want to
4 call it. If this has been removed and there's
5 multiple apartments here, this is -- this is a
6 violation. This is a safety issue.
7 If there's a fire in that -- in one
8 of them apartments upstairs and there's no
9 egress or steps to get out of there, that's --
10 that's a safety issue. So would you please
11 have code enforcement and, you know, they can
12 reach out to zoning to see what permits were
13 pulled or what was approved if it's -- is it
14 still -- is it a single dwelling, which I doubt
15 because every house in the city they're trying
16 to make two or three apartments out of.
17 So I don't see them making -- and
18 it's the truth. All right, if you would please
19 reach out and correct the safety issue and see
20 if they'll take a look at it.
21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
22 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right. Oh,
23 so I started talking about Mr. Srebro with the
24 pod. And I got a little distracted because he
25 also has another concern. So right now -- as
57
1 of right now there's five houses. And we know
2 the Merrifield -- the Merrifield issue with the
3 flood, it was terrible and all these houses
4 that were lost.
5 So there's five of them on the 100
6 to 200 block of Merrifield, okay? And these
7 houses were condemned. But right now neighbors
8 up there are seeing people going in and out of
9 them thinking that they're homeless and
10 squatters. Okay, so that's another safety
11 issue we have to address.
12 If you can please alert the
13 departments to take a look at this or monitor
14 this or find out what's going on up there. So
15 the neighbors are concerned and I would be too.
16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send them out.
17 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right.
18 That's all I got. Thanks.
19 MR. SCHUSTER: Frank, I'd say a week
20 or two ago I asked about individuals going in
21 and out of homes over in that area. Did we
22 ever get a response back at that time?
23 MR. VOLDENBERG: We gave it to the
24 police department. I'll follow up.
25 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay.
58
1 MR. VOLDENBERG: Get a report.
2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. All
3 right. Mr. Flynn, do you have any motions or
4 comments?
5 MR. FLYNN: I do. Thank you. So
6 I'll start off with 3100 of Cedar. And I agree
7 this friendly amendment is a great idea, right,
8 why -- why change all these patterns while the
9 construction is still happening? Why delay the
10 construction from happening by going back and
11 forth and whatnot?
12 But I think that this friendly
13 amendment that we could -- we could put under
14 this legislation to stay that until
15 construction, the occupancy permit has been
16 given, is a great idea. I also believe that,
17 you know, new construction and development and
18 all that in our city is great.
19 And we always have to keep in mind
20 the concerns and the impact that it'll have on
21 residents. And I believe as a city we also
22 need to see and keep a keen eye on what those
23 impacts will be once the development is
24 finished, right, because we don't know exactly
25 what they will be until it's done, right.
59
1 So I think we as a city have to do a
2 good job on this project and all projects that
3 happen in our city to keep that door open and
4 keep individuals with the seat at the table
5 once the project is finished to see what we as
6 a city may have to do to help mitigate issues
7 that those neighbors may face because of it and
8 really mitigate those downstream impacts that
9 those neighborhoods will have when these --
10 when these projects start happening.
11 So I think as this moves forward
12 with this friendly amendment, I think that's
13 something that we need to do and that's
14 something that I am going to continue doing
15 with not only this project, but other projects
16 that come before this Council in this city is
17 to not just have it passed by -- passed by us,
18 and then we're done with it, but really wrap
19 our arms around it and continue to have that
20 outreach to the residents through and after the
21 project.
22 I want to speak briefly about the
23 Big Boy. I went down there this morning. It
24 was -- it was incredible, an awesome
25 experience. But -- but what I think is the
60
1 greatest part is the impact, the positive
2 impact that it had on our city over these past
3 few days on the businesses has been incredible.
4 I've heard from numerous businesses,
5 even far away from where Big Boy was happening
6 in the city that they were slammed yesterday.
7 I know that Cooper's, there was over an hour
8 wait, which, you know, doesn't -- doesn't
9 usually happen on a -- on a Monday night.
10 But businesses and restaurants and
11 coffee shops all over the city was a great
12 revenue generating opportunity for the city of
13 Scranton. We'll have another one coming up in
14 just a few short weeks with the FIFA Fan Zone
15 that's coming to Downtown Scranton in
16 collaboration with Lackawanna County on
17 Courthouse Square.
18 I think these things need to be
19 highlighted and discussed that -- that good
20 things are happening. And -- and we need to --
21 and we need to also, you know, highlight those
22 things that say, like, this is great for
23 businesses. This is great for the economy of
24 Scranton and excited that these things are
25 happening.
61
1 An issue that I may have talked
2 about once or twice, that's coming close to a
3 conclusion is the paving around Green Ridge
4 Street and the road closures that were
5 happening. And it's -- it's getting there.
6 Just to any residents of Green Ridge who are
7 watching, please just bear with us.
8 It's almost there. They have -- so
9 there's two separate projects. One is the --
10 most of them are the water side of PA American
11 Water. And one is the wastewater side. So the
12 water side projects on Electric Street, on
13 Delaware, on Capouse and on Penn, all the
14 milling has been completed on those projects.
15 And they will come and do the
16 overlay. That should be done by the end of
17 this week. And those projects will be done.
18 On the wastewater side, that is the 16 and 1700
19 blocks of Wyoming Avenue. They started that
20 project this week with -- they're putting in
21 new curbs from Green Ridge Street all the way
22 to Pretzel Park on the even side of Wyoming
23 Avenue.
24 So it's -- it's a little bit of a
25 nightmare now. There's a little bit of a -- of
62
1 a moat in between the road and the driveways
2 for those individuals. I've been told by the
3 water company that they made every resident
4 aware that that was happening and with plenty
5 of time to make -- to make arrangements, not
6 ideal by any means.
7 But the good part is at the end of
8 this by tomorrow or the next day, you're going
9 to have brand new curbs on your side of the
10 street. So as soon as they finish the curbing,
11 they will mill and overlay Wyoming Avenue and
12 that will be done.
13 Just real quickly, a few responses
14 that I received, the one is on the Castle
15 House, 1021 Richmond Street that I've been
16 going back and forth with the administration
17 for a few weeks now.
18 And initially when I brought it up,
19 the administration talked about how the city
20 engineer visited the property in the fall due
21 to its long-term vacant status. It was
22 determined that the building was not in danger
23 of collapse.
24 And they also talk about how the
25 city has been in contact with the property
63
1 owner. So what I was talking about last week
2 was the front of the Castle House, they're
3 cutting the grass. In the back they -- the
4 overgrowth is substantial. And there's a deck
5 on the back that is in utter disrepair and I
6 believe dangerous.
7 And could we -- since we have this
8 open dialog with both the owner and the fact
9 that the city engineer was out there to look at
10 the house, could we send them back out, either
11 talk to the property owner, send the city
12 engineer back out to take a look at this deck
13 to see if that needs to be brought down and
14 also get -- get the overgrowth in the back
15 taken care of.
16 And what I was told this week was
17 code enforcement has issued a quality of life
18 for the violations in the rear of the property,
19 which is -- which is great, right, but quality
20 of life violations could stack up and nothing
21 could be done.
22 Every day as the summer goes on,
23 this overgrowth gets worse and worse and worse
24 and more unsightly for the neighbors that live
25 on the -- on the backside of the Castle House.
64
1 And they just want it taken care of. So once
2 again, Mr. Voldenberg, can we ask if the city
3 engineer could go out to inspect the deck on
4 the back and if that needs to be taken down?
5 And also, if the administration is
6 in contact with the property owner, if they
7 could reach out to him and ask him to please
8 get rid of this overgrowth in the back.
9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
10 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. And another
11 thing I brought up last week was some of the
12 cable lines that were put in that are -- that
13 are coming down and hitting the street and if
14 they were dangerous and whatnot and what do we
15 do when we -- when we encounter these and how
16 do we hold the cable companies accountable for
17 not doing this.
18 And what I was told was, as a
19 standard practice, concerns, inquiries should
20 be directed to 311. Depending on the nature of
21 the issue concern, staff will direct the
22 request to the appropriate department. So I'm
23 currently having -- having some issues with
24 311.
25 And I think it's a -- it's a great
65
1 idea. And I don't think it's actually working
2 or being implemented the proper way. For
3 example, last Wednesday I was driving up the
4 street. I saw a massive failing pave cut. So
5 I e-mailed with Frank, our City Clerk.
6 I e-mailed 311, let them know of the
7 coordinates of this pave cut and how bad it was
8 failing. And I received zero response. So on
9 Friday I went back to it, and it was sinking
10 even more. I took pictures of it. And I cc'd
11 Frank again. I sent the pictures. I said,
12 "This is the pave cut. Can we please figure
13 out what utility company this is and get them
14 out there to fix this?"
15 I received zero response. On
16 Monday, I e-mailed 311 and I basically said
17 please let me know you're there, just someone
18 respond to me and let me know that this was
19 seen.
20 And I received no response. And
21 so -- so if a sitting member of Council is
22 reaching out to 311 and getting absolute
23 crickets, what do you think the residents of
24 Scranton are getting when they reach out with
25 this issue?
66
1 Furthermore, the woman that brought
2 this issue to me about the cable lines told me
3 when she -- when she brought it up to me that
4 she had reached out for approximately six
5 months to the mayor's office and through 311
6 about this issue at a specific -- a specific
7 one with this cable lines at a specific
8 intersection and never received a response.
9 So if we are going to say go through
10 311, let's make sure that there's someone on
11 the other side of 311 to at least respond to
12 residents. Because, you know, Frank, you were
13 on -- you were on the e-mails with me. I
14 basically said, Hello. Is anyone there and got
15 nothing back.
16 So if we could -- if we could talk
17 to the administration about what the best way
18 to get this set up where it's -- what it's
19 doing what it's intended to do because I
20 believe the intent of 311 is a good intent, a
21 central depository for the issues of the
22 residents of Scranton to go to and get kicked
23 to every department and have them all in one
24 place.
25 I think that's fabulous. But let's
67
1 actually see it -- see it work in action. So I
2 believe that's all I have. Thank you.
3 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Councilman
4 Flynn, I hate to say 311 doesn't get it done.
5 Sorry.
6 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I'll
7 touch on that as well with some of my
8 experience in the past two weeks. I put a
9 couple -- a couple requests in. We had
10 Clearview Street and Roberts Court was one I
11 e-mailed over.
12 I also sent it to 311 as well as
13 Frank and DPW. I had some in South Scranton
14 two weeks prior. To go off of something that
15 Mr. Flynn said, Chris Balton{phonetic} who
16 works for ECTV, he may be in the back room
17 right now, he put out a great video called
18 Nothing to Do in Scranton.
19 And it's just a collage of all of
20 the things that are going on, some of them
21 current and some of them in the past month or
22 so. And there's a lot of things that are
23 happening here in the City of Scranton.
24 I need to start talking about some
25 more of those positive things. I'm going to
68
1 move onto some other things and I'm going to
2 try to get to cover each of them. We did ask
3 about Penn Ambulance. I did make a motion last
4 week that the city meet with the ambulance
5 company, get the concerns that they had.
6 This is something that's been going
7 on for I would say about two years at this
8 point in time. They've been in in the past.
9 They were informative when they came in. And
10 we're trying to get the administration to move
11 on that.
12 So as Mr. Sean McAndrew said, at
13 this point in time we got an answer back that
14 we're going to out for an RFP. That's great.
15 Can we just get what the timeline of that RFP
16 is? And then it's Fitch and Associates that's
17 preparing it, that's the company that did the
18 original study.
19 So is this something that's part of
20 the original study? Was this always the
21 original intent or is this something new that
22 we're having this company do?
23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of
24 it.
25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
69
1 It was mentioned tonight, North Main Avenue and
2 Clearview Street. I had asked about this.
3 There was several issues that are occurring in
4 that intersection.
5 So there's the parking issues that
6 are occurring. There's Roberts Court up a
7 little bit further. And then there's what's
8 happening in that intersection. The answer I
9 got back from the administration was that this
10 section of the roadway is state owned and
11 maintained.
12 And the city is going to file a
13 complaint with PennDOT. So they're going to
14 file that complaint with PennDOT. Another
15 question I had asked last week as well, it
16 wasn't here but it was -- it was more -- it was
17 in private but about -- let's see how to word
18 this.
19 So they're looking at issues with
20 parking. And the DPW replaced some signs in
21 2025 at the request of the police -- the Police
22 Department Traffic Division. They previously
23 replaced the signs to only have the signs
24 removed in that area. And DPW will replace
25 those signs after SPD and code enforcement
70
1 placed a camera or other means to determine why
2 these signs are coming down in that area.
3 So that's also Clearview and North
4 Main. We talked about the Green Ridge Street
5 Bridge, which should be finished in August.
6 And also the questions about ATVs went over
7 last week as well. And the administration came
8 back saying that legislation regarding ATVs is
9 already in place.
10 There is a city ordinance that they
11 can't be on city roads. However, in 2020,
12 Council also passed a piece of legislation that
13 ATVs couldn't fuel up at gas stations. It did
14 pass with a four to one vote. I did vote
15 against it.
16 At the time my thinking was you're
17 now putting the enforcement of this law in the
18 hands of someone who may be 16, 17, 18 years
19 old that's working the cash register at a gas
20 station and they're doing the enforcement
21 rather than Scranton Police.
22 But that ordinance was passed as
23 something to supplement the ordinance already
24 in place that individuals can't just drive up
25 to a gas station on an ATV and fuel up. The
71
1 ATV has to be in the back of a truck or on a
2 trailer or something like that.
3 So they did send back that there's
4 legislation already in place. 5-H, I did cover
5 in caucus. So I had asked about -- we have 5-H
6 last week has moved into Seventh Order this
7 week. And it was about two ARPA positions. So
8 we had two ARPA coordinator positions who at
9 the time when the positions were put -- were
10 proposed to Council, we were given the
11 salaries.
12 But it's not included in the budget
13 because ARPA funds are not -- are not part of
14 the budget. So we did ask about what was the
15 total salaries for these positions because at
16 this point in time there's going to be five
17 positions in the city that are going to take on
18 pieces of those two positions for those
19 individuals have who have moved on.
20 So the answer that we got, I did
21 give credit to the administration. It was a
22 great answer. It was thorough. It's -- this
23 is how we should get some answers back when
24 we -- when we ask questions. So in regard to
25 the ARPA staffing legislation, two previous
72
1 ARPA project managers have found permanent
2 employment elsewhere.
3 They earned a total of $75,000
4 without benefits, so $6,250 monthly as
5 contracted employees funded entirely by ARPA
6 funds and previously approved by Council. The
7 ARPA positions do not appear in the general
8 fund as they are not funded by city dollars.
9 The proposed legislation would allow
10 for those five positions noted in the
11 legislation to share the ARPA workload and the
12 additional salary would be paid through ARPA
13 funds.
14 Collectively, all five positions
15 monthly salary would not exceed $5,580 total.
16 So with the disbursement of those duties, it's
17 going to be less than -- than was -- was
18 occurring previously with those two coordinated
19 positions.
20 Sorry, I said that we didn't get a
21 response. But we had two sections of answers
22 that came back and we -- so we had a
23 supplemental response that did touch on the
24 EOC. So when asked about the Emergency
25 Operations Training Center, it was stated that
73
1 the facility has two distinct components, which
2 are the EOC and the training center.
3 The EOC is going to be utilized by
4 the City of Scranton and may be set up to serve
5 as a backup for the Lackawanna County facility.
6 The training center would be available for
7 regional use. And the requirements of such use
8 will be discussed further once the project is
9 more underway.
10 Most likely, this will follow other
11 regional training center use agreements and may
12 have requirements on shared use sets -- set
13 forth by any government grant funding that is
14 secured.
15 The goal is for the facility to be
16 used as -- to conduct recruit level training
17 and maintenance training for emergency services
18 and also shared with CTC. So I hope that
19 answers some of that question.
20 The Serrenti Center when it was
21 proposed, it was proposed, I think, as a way to
22 get it passed that it would be able to bring in
23 a profit or some sort of revenue. There were
24 some systems that were put in place there for
25 training purposes.
74
1 I do believe in answers that we got
2 some other outside of the city agencies may
3 have used those training devices or programs
4 that we have there. But at this point in time
5 it's being used for storage and some other --
6 some other things.
7 But I believe the system that they
8 put in place may have been replaced by say
9 virtual reality system. So it was stated in
10 the beginning to have it passed that revenue
11 would come in. But I do not believe any
12 revenue has come in there. And I've reported
13 that a couple of times.
14 Let's see, I have an address of 1334
15 Dartmouth Street. So I'd like to see if we can
16 get a status on that. This is one of the
17 houses that was involved in that large fire
18 that occurred on Dartmouth Street. One of the
19 houses had burnt completely down. The lot is
20 now leveled.
21 Another house that was also damaged
22 in the fire, they're working on the restoration
23 of that home. So there is some restoration
24 that's taking place. But 1334, the roof has
25 sunk below the chimney. The chimney is
75
1 exposed. The chimney is exposed. There's
2 broken glass. There's gutters swinging.
3 And with some of the storms that
4 we've had, and some of the storms that may be
5 coming, the neighbors are worried. So if we
6 could just get a status on where we are with
7 that house, if we've been in contact with the
8 owner or what's occurring there.
9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.
10 Schuster.
11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. One last
12 thing, so this is my issue with Scranton 311.
13 I had reached out about the address -- so I'll
14 ask them tonight and see if we can get some
15 responses in. We have been -- Council when we
16 reach out other than Scranton 311, we're being
17 told to go through the proper channels.
18 But as has been stated before, when
19 we do go through the proper channels, we don't
20 always see movement on it. So there was an
21 issue that happened at 1708 Wayne Avenue. And
22 I do believe a firearm was involved in this
23 situation. The neighbors were up through the
24 night, late into the night.
25 So I had asked our Police Chief,
76
1 Frank, Scranton 311, Eileen Cipriani, Tom
2 Oleski about -- I had asked how many police
3 calls have we had at this address? Have there
4 been any citations issued for the address? How
5 many times has the fire department been to the
6 property because the neighbors had reported
7 that the fire department had been to the
8 property several -- several times as well as
9 the police.
10 Is this property deemed a nuisance?
11 And how many calls designates the property as a
12 nuisance? Has the resident received any code
13 violations? If so, how many, and when? Does
14 the landlord maintain the property or do they
15 have a property manager? Is it registered
16 through our rental department and are the
17 rental fees paid?
18 Has the house had its rental
19 inspection? If so, when, and did it pass? So
20 these were all questions that came out of
21 that -- that neighborhood as they were
22 concerned about this property. It's been
23 something that's been a nuisance in that area
24 for some time.
25 So I put that in I'd say two weeks
77
1 ago. I haven't had any response on that. So
2 let's see if we get any response on it from
3 what we send in tonight. And that's all I have
4 for tonight. Thank you.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, Mr. Gilbride,
20 would you say a friendly amendment to this
21 would satisfy keeping the four-way stop sign in
22 place on Crane and Cedar as well as, you know,
23 making sure that this one way doesn't go into
24 place before the construction starts?
25 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President,
79
1 listening to the Council's conversation as this
2 issue was discussed by members of the public
3 and anticipation of the need for at least one
4 member of Council to make a friendly amendment,
5 I would propose to you that I think the
6 friendly amendment as was brought up and as
7 Council seems to be in favor of would satisfy
8 the concerns of the public as well as this --
9 the ordinance itself.
10 I would also further suggest to you
11 that that friendly amendment should be placed
12 in the therefore paragraph specifically at the
13 end of that paragraph -- the paragraph ends
14 currently with saying only allowing travel in
15 southbound direction and directs the required
16 signage to reflect this traffic pattern change
17 be erected, I suggest the language be added
18 directly after that that says, "Upon the
19 issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the
20 subject property."
21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
22 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I believe that
23 would take care of your issues.
24 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank
25 you. So then I'll entertain a motion if
80
1 someone would like to make that motion.
2 MR. MCANDREW: I'll make a motion or
3 a friendly amendment, you know, designation the
4 one way after the Certificate of Occupancy.
5 MR. FLYNN: Second.

7 have a motion and a second. Can we have a roll
