 3 MR. SMURL: Please remain standing

 5 service men and women throughout the world and

 6 for those who have passed away in our

 7 community, William Lavelle and James Minicozzi.

 8 Thank you. Roll call, please.

 9 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King.

10 MR. KING: Present.

11 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: Present.

13 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Here.

15 MS. CARRERA: Mr. McAndrew.

16 MR. MCANDREW: Present.

17 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Smurl.

18 MR. SMURL: Here. Dispense with the

20 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

21 3-A. OVERTIME REPORT FOR ALL

22 DEPARTMENTS FOR APRIL 2025, AS PROVIDED BY CITY

23 CONTROLLER, RECEIVED APRIL 23, 2025.

24 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

25 on any of the Third Order items? If not,
 4

 1 received and filed. Do any Council members

 2 have any announcements at this time?

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have two

 4 announcements. So coming up this Saturday, a

 5 local nonprofit, the Park Place River

 6 Association is hosting their annual free

 7 fishing derby. It's going to be on Saturday.

 8 It's going to be from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m.

 9 Registration opens at 9. It's ages

10 3 to 15 and all are welcome. Unlike other

11 derbies, it's free across the board for

12 children from 3 years old to 15. Food and

13 drinks are available. The only thing they

14 don't provide is fishing poles. And trophies

15 will be awarded for the biggest caught.

16 And they will have their stocking

17 Friday at 5:30. And it's near DPW, the DPW

18 headquarters on Albright Avenue. Next in

19 regard to recycling, recycle pickup on Monday

20 the 28th, the recycling calendar is now the

21 same and correct moving forward. So the City

22 website was updated.

23 There was an error that caused some

24 confusion. But DPW dispatched a team on Monday

25 afternoon to the 6th to pick up cardboard
 5

 1 recyclables in West Scranton. But at this

 2 point in time, the city website is updated and

 3 the calendar is correct moving forward,

 4 correct, Mr. Voldenberg?

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct,

 6 Mr. Schuster.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That's

 8 all.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster.

10 Anyone else? I have two. On Friday, May 9th

11 at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nay Aug Park, Age

12 Friendly Lackawanna Group organized this event

13 geared towards senior citizens and they will

14 provide information on home care resources,

15 healthcare resources.

16 It will be an opportunity to

17 reorganize older adults in our community as

18 well as the organizations that support them.

19 There will be free food, live music, free

20 entrance to the museum. Also free entrance to

21 the Brook's Mine. And there's a bunch of other

22 activities going on.

23 You could look up on that Age

24 Friendly Lackawanna Group and it explains the

25 whole thing. And then also on May 17th from 9
 6

 1 a.m. to 1 p.m., in South Scranton, the South

 2 Scranton Neighborhood Association will have a

 3 neighborhood cleanup. They're meeting at the

 4 August Haas Funeral Home at 202 Pittston

 5 Avenue. And I will bring that one up again

 6 next week because we're about three weeks out.

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 8 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

 9 MR. SMURL: Angela Ramone.

10 MS. RAMONE: Resident of Scranton.

11 I lived here before a few years ago. I moved

12 out to Blakely. I moved back recently. And

13 I'm very happy to begin participating once

14 again in my little civil duty here in Scranton.

15 The first and most important thing

16 that I'd like to ask the board tonight is

17 whether or not each and every one of you is

18 going to admit to protecting our LGBTQ

19 residents here in Scranton.

20 Given the election coming up, there

21 are several people running who have made it

22 their mission to single out and bully queer

23 youth, especially transchildren in our school

24 system. And I would like to know if the people

25 here before me today believe it's important for
 7

 1 our representatives to focus on actual

 2 important issues like making sure tax dollars

 3 are spent wisely and making sure that the city

 4 is running properly and not ranting and raving

 5 on Facebook about wanting children's genitals

 6 to be inspected.

 7 Earlier before I came in to speak,

 8 there was a man here speak on tourism in

 9 Lackawanna County. And I would like to let the

10 City know for other places across the United

11 States that have failed to protect their

12 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender

13 residents, they have found massive, massive

14 declines in tourism because as Schuster pointed

15 out with the Electric City Tattoo Convention,

16 massive, massive event, one of the largest

17 events you're going to see in this city, very

18 few of those artists will come to Scranton if

19 they feel unsafe, if they feel they're not

20 going to be protected while they're here and

21 their rights will not be secured.

22 We will not have the Scranton Half

23 Marathon being nearly as successful an event if

24 the participants believe that they are going to

25 be subjected to invasive sex testing. And it's
 8

 1 the same thing for pretty much any women's

 2 sports team that wants to participate here in

 3 Lackawanna County in Scranton specifically.

 4 They believe that they are going to

 5 be subjected to harassment, to this invasive

 6 tests in order to prove that they are male or

 7 female enough to justify where they belong.

 8 They will simply not come here. And our city

 9 will lose out on these wonderful, wonderful

10 people, some who live here, some who come here

11 from very far away to become a part of our

12 community.

13 And even though outside of the

14 economic impact, morally, I do not believe we

15 could justify allowing members of our community

16 to be singled out and bullied by our own

17 representatives. I think it's abhorrent.

18 And I think that especially now in

19 this moment with how many attacks on queer

20 people across the Unites States are happening,

21 I think it's important that the City of

22 Scranton takes a firm stand on protecting our

23 residents.

24 So there is about two minutes left

25 if I could get a comment from each of you on
 9

 1 the board here. I would like to know how each

 2 and every one of you feel about protecting our

 3 queer residents.

 4 MR. SMURL: How we do it is in Fifth

 5 Order when each Council person does comments or

 6 motions, that's when they will speak on it,

 7 okay?

 8 MS. RAMONE: Can I trust that I'll

 9 hear from each you when that time comes?

10 MR. SMURL: You cannot speak after

11 that. It will be Council's time to speak.

12 MS. RAMONE: Yes.

13 MR. SMURL: And then if anyone wants

14 to speak on anything that you've asked them,

15 then they may do it at that point.

16 MS. RAMONE: Okay.

17 MR. SMURL: Okay?

18 MS. RAMONE: I'm looking forward to

19 hearing a response from each and every one of

20 you. Thank you very much for your time.

21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Next, Joan

22 Hodowanitz.

23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

24 Scranton. Now, first I'd like to just remind

25 everyone that Rick Steves will be at the
 10

 1 Cultural Center tomorrow at 7 p.m. The event

 2 is free. But you need a ticket to get in. And

 3 you could get a ticket at a local library or

 4 ticket master.

 5 He does a really fine job if you've

 6 ever seen his travel logs on PBS. He's very

 7 entertaining.

 8 And also, just remind everybody that

 9 the Friends of the Scranton Public Library will

10 be sponsoring a bus trip to the Franklin

11 Institute in Philadelphia on August 16th. And

12 it's important that anyone who is interested

13 register for this event early rather than late.

14 The bus only has 55 seats. And the

15 seats go very quickly. And if you would like

16 to go on this trip, you should -- you could get

17 information at the Scranton Public Library or

18 you can contact Jenny Shirner who works at the

19 library. And she'll be happy to help you

20 register.

21 The event is $90 for those who are

22 not members of The Friends, 85 for Members of

23 the Friends, and $75 for children. So it's a

24 great one day trip, get out of Scranton and see

25 a really good institution.
 11

 1 Last week I asked if there was an

 2 ordinance covering littering, and apparently

 3 there is in Chapter 305 of the City Code. And

 4 I'll just read you some of the appropriate

 5 excerpts:

 6 No person shall sweep into or

 7 deposit in any gutter, street or public place

 8 the accumulation of litter from any building or

 9 lot or from any public or private sidewalk or

10 driveway. Any person who violates any of the

11 provisions of this section shall be subject to

12 the penalty of a fine not to exceed $300 or be

13 subject to imprisonment not to exceed 90 days.

14 For those of you, you know, with

15 your leaf blowers blowing the trash from the

16 sidewalks into the street, be advised. It's

17 not permitted. Speaking of criminals, the last

18 week or so we had quite an uptick in reports of

19 gunfire in the city and in the local

20 communities.

21 This is one article, DA: Shots

22 fired in city, one victim hit multiple times.

23 According to Brian Gallagher, our DA, the

24 frequency of shootings and violence within the

25 City of Scranton is becoming more rampant. We
 12

 1 need to continue to invest in programs to help

 2 our at risk youth find a different path.

 3 We also desperately need to invest

 4 in law enforcement to find -- to fund police

 5 operations in our fight to remove criminals

 6 from our community. His comments came after

 7 multiple incidents of gun violence since early

 8 March.

 9 I think the uptick in the gun

10 violence relates to the warmer weather that's

11 coming about now. And kids and other people

12 are able to get out on the streets. And it

13 seems to me that the number one priority of

14 local government is public safety and the

15 safety of children and the residents of the

16 city.

17 We need to go back to this issue. I

18 know we had the -- after Detective Gilmartin

19 Martin was shot, you know, we had a flurry of

20 activity about trying to look into gang

21 violence.

22 Well, now that the warmer weather is

23 here upon us, we're going to see this problem

24 raise its ugly head and we need to get ahead of

25 it. If that means investing more city funds
 13

 1 and tax revenue against this problem, I say do

 2 it.

 3 My only other comment is on 5-C, the

 4 construction easement agreements for the

 5 sinkhole repair project. The cost is to be

 6 determined. Does anybody got any kind of idea

 7 how much this might cost or is this, you

 8 know --

 9 MR. SMURL: You don't know what

10 you're going to get into until you start

11 attacking it.

12 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. There's no

13 cap on this though. Whatever it costs, it

14 needs to be done.

15 MR. SMURL: Well, we don't have a

16 lot of experience with that part, sorry. Thank

17 you. Les Spindler.

18 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

19 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

20 homeowner. It's nice to see Curt Camoni here

21 tonight. He gave a great presentation. I've

22 known Kurt for a very long time. I -- maybe

23 some of you know that when the Red Barons moved

24 here in 1989, he was a big shot with that

25 organization.
 14

 1 And I was an original member of the

 2 Red Barons Booster Club. So we crossed paths

 3 many times. And when he left and went to

 4 Lackawanna County, I haven't seen him in many,

 5 many years. But I'm not surprised he's doing a

 6 good job. He's a real good guy.

 7 Next thing, Councilman Schuster, you

 8 mentioned about what happened yesterday. I was

 9 affected by that. I wasn't too happy. But so

10 my cardboard wasn't picked up. And we had a

11 real, real lot of it, me and my daughter lives

12 next door to me.

13 So the stuff that couldn't fit in

14 the bin we put out for the garbage. We were

15 really upset. But then I went down to DPW.

16 And the supervisor came up. And I asked for

17 the supervisor. And he came up to me and he

18 said -- he knew me. He called me by name. He

19 said, "Mr. Spindler, we're taking care of it.

20 He said there was a mixup and we're going to

21 send other trucks up. Everything will be

22 picked up by evening."

23 So it came within the hour. So at

24 least they, you know, took care of the mistake.

25 I hope it doesn't happen again.
 15

 1 Next thing, last Thursday on Channel

 2 16 news they did a piece on the two democratic

 3 mayoral candidates. Paige Cognetti lied. She

 4 took full credit for getting the city out of

 5 distressed status. That's wrong.

 6 Whatever Bill Courtright did, he

 7 went to prison and he paid for his mistakes.

 8 But he helped get us out of distressed status.

 9 When he took office after Chris Doherty left,

10 this city was in shambles. And Bill's first

11 four years, the city turned around a lot and

12 then he got in trouble and but she didn't --

13 he got the ball rolling.

14 She might have finished the job, but

15 she shouldn't have taken credit for doing the

16 whole thing because she didn't. She lies as

17 much as the idiot that's in the White House.

18 Speaking of him, it was on the news last night.

19 He bragged about what a great job he was going

20 to do.

21 They showed the clips again last

22 night, the day I'm elected president, I'm going

23 to fix the economy. Well, we know that was a

24 lie. So something else, before I'm elected I'm

25 going to end the war in Ukraine, another lie.
 16

 1 Latest poll, 72 percent of the people polled

 2 have a negative opinion of how he's handling

 3 the economy.

 4 And he's on TV tonight. He'll

 5 probably say he's doing a great job. I hope

 6 the suckers that voted for him don't believe

 7 him but they probably will. His approval

 8 rating is 39 percent, lowest in history for

 9 President in his first 100 days. They said

10 that last night, lowest in history.

11 And people used to come here bashing

12 Joe Biden. And like I said in the past, after

13 this guy's done, people will wish Joe Biden was

14 back as President because this guy's making a

15 mess of the country.

16 And hopefully everybody gets out to

17 vote next year in the midterms and gets all the

18 Republicans out of Congress. Thank you for

19 your time.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler.

21 Lee Morgan.

22 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council.

23 The first thing I have here is, you know,

24 there's a difference between ignorant and

25 stupid. Stupid people believe things that
 17

 1 aren't true when you can't convince them of the

 2 truth.

 3 Ignorant people haven't been

 4 educated and you could teach them things and

 5 they change their opinion. The other thing I

 6 have here today is, I spoke last week about the

 7 case management with the federal judge. And he

 8 brought up Manhattan versus Haddock.

 9 So, of course, since that hearing

10 I've looked at that case. And I've looked at

11 the Supreme Court's decision in that case. And

12 I'd just like to say to everybody here because

13 as this thing spins through the federal court

14 system, I want to do everybody a big favor and

15 let them know what's going on with this

16 litigation and how poorly our elected officials

17 have represented you and all the games they've

18 played because discovery is coming and

19 depositions.

20 And I just think it's important for

21 somebody to be honest with the public for once

22 and let them see the government we really have

23 and not the one that they perceive that we

24 have.

25 So in Manhattan versus Haddock, Dee
 18

 1 Dee Haddock and Jesus Papoleto made a video

 2 that was critical of Manhattan Neighborhood

 3 Network which was a public access channel.

 4 So they put the video up on the Time

 5 Warner System. And what happened is, the City

 6 of New York did the same thing basically the

 7 City of Scranton did -- although I haven't done

 8 discovery yet to figure out exactly what the

 9 City of Scranton did with our public access

10 channel.

11 But that is all going to come out

12 here in the future. And I think it's very

13 important for the people to pay attention

14 because you are paying a franchise fee. We're

15 going to have to figure out where all of that

16 money is going to. So anyhow, they took the

17 video down.

18 Now, when the judge brought this

19 case up with Attorney Tim Hinton, he said this

20 case might be troubling for me because the

21 Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh had written the

22 opinion on this case. I haven't read opinion

23 on this case but I will.

24 But that has nothing to do with my

25 accusations or my complaint in the court. So I
 19

 1 think the judge is misguided. And I think that

 2 like I said to Attorney Hinton, I think he'd do

 3 his client a big favor if he negotiated and

 4 settled.

 5 But he's going to follow himself

 6 wherever he wants to go. And I'm only a truck

 7 driver, but, you know, let's all have fun and

 8 see what happens. And on another thing, I

 9 watched the mayoral debates. I'm shocked that

10 the residents of this city would accept that as

11 a debate.

12 We've been talking about blight and

13 utter silliness at debates for decades here.

14 And we haven't changed this city, not one bit.

15 And, you know, I would like to highlight

16 something for everybody in this city. We have

17 a host of homeless people just ignored by the

18 city and ignored by the non-profits.

19 I have a homeless -- well, formally

20 homeless man who works up in the frack fields.

21 He was homeless in Scranton for six months,

22 got absolutely no help with job search, did get

23 some second-hand clothes and some out-of-date

24 food and lived under the bridge across from

25 Redner's.
 20

 1 And the help he got was just

 2 atrocious. It was like he took -- he got two

 3 showers a week that the shelter on Olive Street

 4 set him up with. But, I mean, you know, we

 5 have a city that's just totally incompetently

 6 run because there haven't been any solutions

 7 for the homeless.

 8 And, you know, it's not like a lot

 9 of people care about the homeless. But, you

10 know, we talk about government all the time.

11 But, you know, honestly and truthfully, we talk

12 about a lot of things. And, you know, when we

13 talk about the recovery plan, the city hasn't

14 recovered yet.

15 And for the people who think that we

16 came out of Act 47 and the city's recovered, it

17 hasn't. And the pension fund hasn't been

18 stabilized either. And I think that we keep

19 getting lied to by our elected officials and

20 the Mayor.

21 And, Bill Courtright, he was guilty,

22 in my opinion of a lot more than what he got

23 convicted in court of. Okay, and I just think

24 it's time for the residents to really look at

25 the harm he did to this city to transfer the
 21

 1 Scranton Sewer Authority, their water rates,

 2 their sewer rates, the loss of the Parking

 3 Authority garages, just it was a nightmare.

 4 And it's not like the Council did

 5 anything for us because they spent a ton of

 6 money downtown for Doherty Pocket Park. We're

 7 just getting lit on fire by incompetent

 8 government. Thank you.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan.

10 Rick Sabetta. Rick, did I pronounce your name

11 properly?

12 MR. SABETTA: Pretty good, Sabetta,

13 pretty close. I won't tell Joe. Uh,

14 greetings, distinguish gentlemen and women. My

15 name is Richard Sabetta. I'm a property owner

16 at 423 and 425 10th Avenue. I came here

17 tonight for actually a few questions all

18 related to blighted properties.

19 The first question would be is, how

20 do we handle complaints on blighted properties?

21 And let me just clarify a little bit. I had

22 filed four written complaints here at the

23 clerk's office over the course of maybe three

24 years. And so far there really has been no

25 action.
 22

 1 And the question I have is the

 2 property next door to me 427 10th Avenue. And

 3 it's a garage. And I hate to use the term

 4 garage. It's more like a structure. It's

 5 approximately guesstimate 30 feet by 50 feet by

 6 30 feet high, two cars with an upper level.

 7 The thing is literally falling down.

 8 The roof is caving. The police have put up

 9 barricades in the front on Aswell Court. But

10 nothing is being done. Now, it's falling on my

11 garage. It's literally falling in the street.

12 And the exterior of the garage is

13 literally the old 30 foot wooden telephone pole

14 that people used because it's like an elevated

15 property. It's not level. At one time I guess

16 they used it as a clothes line.

17 So it's still attached to the

18 building. And the supports on it are gone.

19 It's only sitting on the ground. That's going

20 to fall. It's a 30 foot pole and it's going to

21 I know at least take down my fence and possibly

22 kill my pets, not to mention kids that play in

23 the area.

24 Again, nothing's been really done

25 with it. When I did come here at another time,
 23

 1 at that time Council and all due respect gave a

 2 nice little speech about, oh, we hired six,

 3 whatever, eight, new code enforcement officers.

 4 We have the new code enforcement cars.

 5 But nothing's being done. With all

 6 due respect and no offense, but having code

 7 officers is like having that policeman in a

 8 pretty uniform. He looks nice. But if you

 9 don't give him any powers to enforce anything

10 or don't do anything, he's useless. No

11 disrespect to you. I appreciate your service.

12 But, I mean, so what's the purpose?

13 I mean, the answer you got is we got six new

14 whatever enforcement officers, new cars and

15 they look pretty dancing around, but nothing's

16 being done. So, like, what could you expect?

17 What's the process?

18 MR. SMURL: Rick, if you would leave

19 your -- an e-mail address or a way I could

20 contact you, I will tell you tomorrow. I will

21 look up the address. And I will tell you all

22 the information that we have on it to this

23 point.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: So, Mr. Smurl, this

25 property I've turned in. Frank has dealt with
 24

 1 it many times. We've sent many e-mails into

 2 code enforcement. Have we got anything updated

 3 about that address?

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, we haven't only

 5 to follow up like Mr. Smurl said.

 6 MR. SMURL: I don't want to -- get

 7 to it, but it will just --

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Just so you know on

 9 our end, we've -- we put it up to the

10 administration as well.

11 MR. SMURL: But I will tell you

12 everything that's been done to today -- up

13 until today and tell you what -- and I will

14 actually send you something that shows you the

15 process that everything is supposed to go

16 through.

17 I'm not saying that it went through

18 that. I'm just saying I will get you all that

19 information. I will send it to you tomorrow.

20 But I'll need an e-mail address or a way to

21 contact you.

22 MR. SABETTA: It is supposedly

23 condemned. But again, it's formalities. I

24 could put up posters but --

25 MR. SMURL: Yeah, I don't know that.
 25

 1 I'd have to look that up and see exactly what

 2 information we have on it.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: It might be on the

 4 demo list. We don't have it in front of us.

 5 It would be a blessing for you. So we'll try

 6 to find out for you.

 7 MR. SABETTA: It is an extreme

 8 safety hazard. It's a 30 foot high structure.

 9 And on top of it, add that 30 foot wooden

10 telephone pole. It's just literally balancing.

11 MR. SMURL: Okay. I will get that

12 information to you tomorrow. I just need an

13 e-mail if you'll give it to Kathy, an e-mail

14 address here. Thank you.

15 MR. SABETTA: And again, if you're

16 aware of it, the police have put up barricades.

17 But --

18 MR. SMURL: I know. But I have to

19 look it up and I can't get out of this program

20 right now to look it up, just leave it with

21 Kathy.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: This property may be

23 on the demo list. However, the last update

24 that we got was that there's no -- there's no

25 timeline for the demolition of it.
 26

 1 MR. SABETTA: Okay. So we have

 2 absolutely no idea of a timeline.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: It may be on the demo

 4 list, but no timeline from the administration

 5 as to when it will be demoed.

 6 MR. SABETTA: Okay. Thank you. If

 7 by chance I don't know if you could answer this

 8 legally or not, but if it does fall and damage

 9 my property, do I have any recourse?

10 MR. SMURL: Okay.

11 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President --

12 MR. SMURL: Will you please just

13 give Kathy a contact so we can take care of it

14 this way?

15 MR. SABETTA: Okay.

16 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you.

17 MR. SABETTA: All right. Thanks for

18 your time.

19 MR. SMURL: Frank, will you pull up

20 all of that information?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll pull it up and

22 get it to you first thing in the morning.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

24 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

25 I only got a few things on my mind tonight.
 27

 1 One of them was Kelly's -- another attack on

 2 Bobby Sheridan's education. This time his

 3 words seem to cover all of Scranton's

 4 residents, all the hardworking people that

 5 don't have diplomas.

 6 I think Kelly far, far overestimates

 7 his importance and influence to people. You

 8 know, when this building was really going back

 9 10, 20 years, I stood here with a lot of people

10 trying to save it.

11 I don't ever remember the Mayor

12 coming in going against the grain with us.

13 There's some people -- I think that they -- we

14 had a building for 11 million dollars or

15 something that everybody wanted to go to on

16 Lackawanna.

17 And it was hard to try to defend

18 this old lady. But this -- this is Scranton.

19 I am so happy that the way it came out. I'm so

20 happy we spent money on it. But the Mayor

21 wants to take credit for everything she had

22 nothing to do with.

23 Anybody in office would have gotten

24 grants for parks and roads and streets. I will

25 give her credit for the developers downtown,
 28

 1 you know, but, look, they got loan forgiveness,

 2 tax abatements. How many people in this room

 3 ever got a tax refund or a tax -- I paid my

 4 taxes twice and couldn't get them out in 2005.

 5 Nobody would listen to me. McDowell

 6 took my tax money twice. I lost I think it was

 7 1,800 or 2,100 or something. I got all kinds

 8 of paperwork and checks. Nobody cared. That's

 9 the kind of -- really gives you a bad taste in

10 your mouth.

11 Then you hear WNEP, Basalyga, all of

12 these people get tax breaks left and right.

13 And then they want more at taxpayer's expense.

14 I don't think we'd have so many foreclosures if

15 more people knew of some of the possibilities

16 available. I've had trouble in the past with

17 my insurance and everything piling up.

18 And there are -- there are -- I

19 know, Mr. Smurl, you know, what I'm talking

20 about. There's a couple agencies that can help

21 that keep foreclosures from happening or drag

22 them on. I think you could pay -- get a -- get

23 your taxes postponed for a small limited time

24 or something.

25 Nobody knows about it. Nothing is
 29

 1 there to help people. I have been coming up

 2 here, gosh, over 20 years. It's -- I've seen

 3 so many changes. We sure need one right now in

 4 this government. But it doesn't look like

 5 we're going to get it.

 6 The word at the Taurus Club is we're

 7 going to have another four years of grief and

 8 hardness and all the bad parts of this

 9 administration. Thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman.

11 That's the end of our sign-in sheet. Does

12 anyone else wish to address Council?

13 MR. ARGENTA: Virgil Argenta,

14 Scranton. Can we please recognize Scranton

15 Police Officer and motorcycle patrolman William

16 Donovan who passed away last Thursday?

17 MR. SMURL: Yes, Virgil. I will do

18 that. I didn't know that.

19 MR. ARGENTA: Thank you, sir. The

20 conditions of the roads have become a

21 significant concern on the campaign trail.

22 It's time to seriously address the road

23 conditions that have been subject to humor over

24 the years.

25 It is evident that every
 30

 1 neighborhood suffers from equally poor road

 2 conditions. Can we agree on that, Council? Or

 3 do you guys have a special route of smooth

 4 roads that we're not privy to?

 5 Will the city take responsibility

 6 and finance the vehicle repairs necessary for

 7 the already struggling residents who had their

 8 cars destroyed by these potholes? Pave cut

 9 inspectors ensure roads are safely restored

10 after construction and help fund the budget to

11 inspect and excavations.

12 There have been numerous rumors or

13 cyber attacks and subsequent Ransomware

14 payments. If the Ransomware was not directly

15 paid by the city, was it covered by an

16 insurance carrier? Do we have a cyber

17 insurance policy? If so, were they notified of

18 a potential attack? Who is that carrier if we

19 have one?

20 What is the deductible? Were there

21 any claims filed or processed prior to this

22 rumor? When does the policy come up for

23 renewal if we have one? My intent is to

24 understand how the citizens of Scranton are

25 protected.
 31

 1 If there was an attack, was anyone

 2 disciplined? And what steps are being taken to

 3 prevent future incidents? If there's no cyber

 4 insurance, would it be advisable to include a

 5 separate rider or another policy to cover city

 6 cell phones, tablets, laptops, PCs?

 7 Do we currently have an MDT, which

 8 is a mobile display terminal? Let's talk about

 9 the DPW contract. Is that still out there for

10 negotiation?

11 MR. SMURL: It's still in

12 negotiation.

13 MR. ARGENTA: The Department of

14 Public Works is essential for city

15 infrastructure and services like road

16 maintenance and waste management, ensuring

17 smooth daily operations and long-term

18 sustainability.

19 The Department of Public Works has

20 been operating without a contract for a long

21 time raising concerns about job stability,

22 identifying the duration of the gap is crucial

23 to addressing the situation promptly.

24 Mr. McAndrew, you can understand

25 this. Understanding DPW is important is
 32

 1 fundamental like food industry workers who

 2 ensure cleanliness and manage crisis. DPW

 3 employees maintain our city's infrastructure.

 4 They keep public spaces clean, the

 5 roads safe, and essential services running.

 6 These workers deserve recognition, respect, and

 7 support for their tireless efforts.

 8 We must prioritize DPW employees'

 9 well-being ensuring they are respected and

10 adequately compensated like key food industry

11 workers. DPW staff deserves care and

12 appreciation for their invaluable

13 contributions.

14 It's our duty to treat them with

15 dignity and provide necessary resources for

16 effective performance. In summary, the

17 Department of Public Works is vital to our

18 community. Can we agree to that?

19 The City Council should prioritize

20 solving contract issues and supporting DPW

21 employees. Their work keeps our infrastructure

22 strong, services running smoothly. Valuing

23 these essential workers is crucial for thriving

24 city environment. Step up to the plate,

25 Council. Help them get a fair contract.
 33

 1 Mr. King, I'm sorry I didn't get

 2 your endorsement. We could have been Garlic

 3 and Gaelic. Who was playing politics at the

 4 Council meetings, Mr. King?

 5 Would approves the DPW calendars?

 6 Were they one of the people that received any

 7 of the raises? Will they be disciplined? Have

 8 a great night. And let's not forget Scranton

 9 Police Officer William Donovan from the

10 Motorcycle Division, please. Thank you of.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

12 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council,

13 Bob Bolus, Scranton. You know, I've been

14 listening to a lot in this city. And it turns

15 your stomach after time because alls we hear

16 people yapping about are potholes.

17 But you don't hear them saying we

18 need to reenforce our police department that

19 criminals will do one of two things, they'll

20 either stay the hell out of here or get the

21 hell out of here.

22 We want to make this where you open

23 your doors again, left your cars unlocked. And

24 we have haven't done that. And the leadership

25 here needs to move in that direction. We're
 34

 1 done playing games, shooting here, a shooting

 2 there. Let them know you come down the

 3 interstate you're coming to Scranton, there'll

 4 be somebody waiting to get you and turn you

 5 around and get you the heck out of here.

 6 So back our police force, back our

 7 fire department, give our DPW the people and

 8 the tools they need to keep Scranton safe.

 9 Make Scranton what it used to be. That

10 leadership isn't out there. I hear everybody

11 talking about this, that and the other.

12 But I don't hear anybody talking

13 about how do we save the hospitals. Not one

14 person come to this podium said how do we save

15 our healthcare in Scranton. I brought up that

16 we should be buying -- you got state and

17 federal money. Buy out the hospitals from the

18 medical college. Let them take it over.

19 Get it government funded. We train

20 the doctors. We train everybody there. Get it

21 away from Geisinger. These doctors will have

22 the discretion to go where they want to be.

23 But we'll have a healthcare again in this area

24 second to none.

25 I haven't heard one person coming to
 35

 1 podium say that. But we could talk about the

 2 stupid potholes, a couple dilapidated

 3 buildings. That's not what we're about here.

 4 But nobody's paying attention who takes care of

 5 us when we need medical treatment.

 6 Geisinger's there. Lehigh Valley's

 7 there. We had two great hospitals. Years ago

 8 my mother was a head nurse at the Mercy

 9 Hospital for many, many years. But we've lost

10 all of that because we've turned our back on

11 those that give us the care we need when we're

12 there.

13 So let's look in that direction.

14 Take the blinders off. Think outside the box

15 as we do in the business. We do it as we got

16 to survive. I had a devastating fire that

17 destroyed everything for 55 years I've done.

18 Yet, I'm trying to find a way to cope and

19 recover and move forward.

20 This is how people have to react in

21 this city. Christmas Day I feed thousands of

22 people for 31 years. This past year we gave

23 out over 1,500 turkeys. Rob Bresnahan came

24 there, helped, Chris Chermak. These are the

25 people that are part of your community out
 36

 1 there.

 2 And yet, they don't get the support

 3 they need. I believe -- I'm running for Mayor

 4 in Scranton on the Republican ticket. A rhino

 5 in the Republican party Charles Spano tried to

 6 find -- file and keep me off.

 7 He was an educator. He filed under

 8 2021 instead of 2021 -- 25. Now, here's an

 9 educator. How many kids did he pass over that

10 he was that incompetent? He didn't understand

11 21 and 25. The judge hearing the case said,

12 oh, it was a typographical error.

13 He wasn't there. Then the judge

14 started acting as his attorney. And we've

15 appealed all of that. Why did I appeal it?

16 Because I believe in my community. I'm born

17 and raised here.

18 Our trucking company, my family

19 owned started with my father and uncle has been

20 here almost a hundred years. We've been part

21 of this community, blood, sweat and tears. And

22 I'm not about turning my back on it.

23 But people here got to understand

24 something. Let's bring Scranton back. Let's

25 put a swimming pool back that we could go and
 37

 1 enjoy instead of a stupid splash parks.

 2 Let's get back to where we used to

 3 be. Bring back what we used to have at Nay Aug

 4 when you took your family there and it was

 5 called Lake Lincoln. That's the culture I want

 6 to reestablish in this city, not drugs, not

 7 shootings, not incompetents or deadbeats or

 8 anybody else.

 9 This was a community that our

10 ancestors came across, came into this country.

11 But they came legally. That's a big word

12 legally. If you're not here legally, then get

13 the hell out of here because we're going throw

14 you out. And we're going to see that we have a

15 police force.

16 And I'm on the Republican ticket. I

17 don't care what they're doing on the Democrats.

18 My issue is I'm here to take care of my city

19 and the people in this city without any games,

20 without any playing around. Thank you.

21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus.

22 Anyone else?

23 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening, Norma

24 Jeffries, Scranton resident. And the first

25 thing I wanted to say was to thank Dr.
 38

 1 Rothchild as well as Lynn Labrosky because I

 2 was down on South Washington Avenue today. And

 3 a lot of potholes were filled and the markings

 4 were there to make the right-hand turn or to

 5 straight.

 6 So they've done a lot of markings

 7 down there on South Washington Avenue which was

 8 a pleasure. Now, when I got to Lackawanna

 9 Avenue to make my right to go -- you know, and

10 start home, Lackawanna Avenue still needs work.

11 But in light of all the things that

12 we have in this city that need to be done, I

13 guess it is sort of a -- shouldn't be at the

14 bottom of the list but it probably is.

15 And I guess this is directed to you,

16 Mr. King. I was up at the Robinson Park today,

17 beautiful park. They've done a great job up

18 there. But something concerned me was the

19 enticement of that water for kids.

20 You know, you have that nice ramp

21 going down there and all. And I thought is

22 this going to be monitored? Who is going to

23 monitor that as summer comes and kids being

24 enticed by water with it being hot because it

25 was hot this afternoon.
 39

 1 And I thought, oh, who is going to

 2 monitor that body of water? I know it's always

 3 been there. But it hasn't been as enticing as

 4 it is -- as it looks now with the nice ramp

 5 that goes right down into it. You could come

 6 right up to the edge of the water now.

 7 So it's just something for the --

 8 the organization up there to think about as to

 9 what they're going to do with the children as

10 summer comes and the hot weather is coming.

11 I was glad to be here and hear some

12 of the information from the Lackawanna Visitors

13 Bureau. Was that where he was from? And as he

14 was speaking, I said, he had all kinds of

15 wonderful things. I couldn't hear everything

16 that he was saying.

17 But the booklet that he had, did he

18 say that you had to go to the building on

19 Jefferson Avenue and get that or where do you

20 get that?

21 MR. MCANDREW: He said -- I asked

22 the question. I asked the question where do

23 you obtain it, a resident. And he said there

24 are multiple places. But you could also go

25 online and request one and they'll mail it to
 40

 1 you.

 2 MS. JEFFRIES: We could request one.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: And they'll mail it

 4 to you.

 5 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay.

 6 MR. MCANDREW: On their website.

 7 MS. JEFFRIES: Because I have a lot

 8 of company that comes in on the weekends. And

 9 so often I'm thinking what am I going to do,

10 what am I going to do, you know, when company

11 comes and find things to do. But that would be

12 great if I could plan things.

13 MR. MCANDREW: You know what, you

14 could have mine. I could always get another

15 one.

16 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. Thank you.

17 MR. MCANDREW: So you don't have to

18 wait.

19 MS. JEFFRIES: I'll pick it up

20 afterwards.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Okay.

22 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. So I was

23 thinking about that. And, of course, the

24 homeless is still on my mind. And people come

25 up here and talk at the podium about homeless.
 41

 1 You know, we can talk about it or we cannot

 2 talk about it.

 3 But guess what, it doesn't go away.

 4 It's still there. It's something that needs to

 5 be addressed. There's a committee out there.

 6 I know, Dr. Rothchild, you spoke about it. I

 7 haven't seen any kind of advancement at all.

 8 The Keystone Mission has closed or

 9 is closing or modified their hours. You know,

10 this is a problem that needs to be addressed.

11 And like I said, you could either talk about or

12 don't talk about. It doesn't make it go away.

13 We have to address it and do something.

14 I mean, I am out there doing what I

15 could do to help. But I'm just one person. My

16 church works with the Keystone Mission. We

17 have facilities that we try to help with that

18 facility down there. But we're just one

19 entity. And there's a lot of people out there

20 that could help us and address the homeless

21 situation.

22 And then the final thing that I --

23 and I probably should have read this but I

24 didn't. So maybe you could just address it in

25 Fifth Order or tell me to go read on the
 42

 1 website.

 2 It's 6-B, reading by title, um, File

 3 of Council No. 73, 2025, an ordinance. The

 4 cleanup of code ordinances 2025, removing

 5 outdated provision blah, blah, blah, it goes on

 6 and on and on.

 7 The thing that struck -- struck me

 8 was alcoholism and drug abuse fund -- there's a

 9 fund. And the board of examiners, the

10 departments -- it doesn't say what departments

11 and the abandoned refrigerators.

12 So my thought was when I read that,

13 I guess I should read the backup information

14 online, which I didn't get to do because I just

15 read this tonight. But I thought who is doing

16 this? Is it a group in the -- here in the

17 city?

18 Is it a vendor? How much is it

19 going to cost? And who is going to have the

20 final say on these things?

21 MR. SMURL: It is -- Norma, it is

22 our Law Department. They are going it here

23 inhouse. And it is all of the accounts, the

24 checking accounts and all the bank accounts and

25 stuff that are zeroed out. They just don't
 43

 1 exist anymore.

 2 That's what they are just closing

 3 those entire things out. Every one of those

 4 hasn't been used in years and there's a lot

 5 more.

 6 MS. JEFFRIES: So it's amazing,

 7 alcoholism and drug abuse hasn't been used in

 8 years?

 9 MR. SMURL: Nope.

10 MS. JEFFRIES: So we just do away

11 with it and don't do anything to help the

12 situation.

13 MR. SMURL: Well, they get outdated.

14 So they stop -- they come up with a new plan.

15 Somebody else has something different and

16 that's how it gets used. But you know Andrew,

17 he is the one doing all of that, cleaning all

18 that out.

19 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay, so when can we

20 see the updated?

21 MR. SMURL: I'm sorry?

22 MS. JEFFRIES: When will we be able

23 to see the updated information online, I guess.

24 MR. SMURL: That I don't know. I'm

25 saying if they did update when they update
 44

 1 different things and then they'll just

 2 eliminate the ones that have been just sitting

 3 idle for years.

 4 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay.

 5 MR. SMURL: But there are a lot

 6 more. This is the second phase we're going

 7 through.

 8 MS. JEFFRIES: Like I said, if I had

 9 read this stuff online. But, you know, this

10 one got caught my eye when I saw the different

11 things, especially the refrigerators. Okay,

12 thank you. And I'll get that afterwards.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

14 MS. LABROSKY: All right. Good

15 evening, Council, Lynn Labrosky, resident,

16 taxpayer, business owner. So I just wanted to

17 mention that City Hall look fabulous. I

18 suppose timing is everything.

19 So I did want to mention that they

20 had opening day at the West Side Little League

21 on Saturday. It was a great turnout, a little

22 windy and cold; but again, a great turnout.

23 They did honor Coach Selemba at opening day,

24 which was really amazing and his kids were

25 involved in throwing out some of the first
 45

 1 pitches.

 2 And I just wanted to mention that

 3 the little league along with collaborating with

 4 the Joshua Tippet Big Heart Memorial, they were

 5 able to secure two additional AED machines. So

 6 that was absolutely fantastic. And I know

 7 Senator Rosemary Brown's been pushing for

 8 legislature to pass a law.

 9 It's the Greg Moyer Law. Greg Moyer

10 was a young boy that played basketball back in

11 2000, 15 years old, good health, and he

12 suffered a sudden heart attack. And he could

13 have possibly lived but there was no AED

14 machine.

15 So if anybody out there wants to

16 contact their legislators and push for that to

17 be passed, that would be a really good thing

18 that every school and field or anywhere kids

19 practice sports would have those things readily

20 available and close-by.

21 And then the other thing that I want

22 to talk about is kind of like a public service

23 announcement. So I'm sure that many of you

24 have heard that there was an error with the

25 printing of the ballots in Lackawanna County.
 46

 1 And somehow out of approximately

 2 12,000 mail-in ballots, the only ones that got

 3 screwed up were the 545 mail-in ballots for

 4 Scranton Republicans.

 5 The newspaper did recommend or

 6 suggested that the voters that received these

 7 wrong ballots that were from 2024 be

 8 disregarded and destroyed. I personally would

 9 suggest that any voter that got the wrong

10 ballots would preserve those ballots for

11 evidence because I am anticipating that there

12 would be a full investigation.

13 I read the article in the paper and

14 words were used like apparently, mistakenly,

15 missed and unintentional. So those are all

16 flag words for me, not pointing any fingers;

17 but things should be checked before they go

18 out.

19 And there was more than one chance

20 for those ballots to be checked. So again,

21 only 545 Republican mail-in ballots in Scranton

22 got screwed up. Everything else was okay.

23 It's no secret I'm running for Mayor in

24 Scranton this year on the Republican ticket.

25 And I'm doing a grassroots campaign.
 47

 1 So I have no big donors or anything like that.

 2 And I just want to remind everybody out there

 3 that if you are Democrat and you don't like

 4 your choices of candidates, you can write

 5 another candidate in.

 6 A Democrat can write a Republican in

 7 and a Republican can write a Democrat in.

 8 Independents cannot vote in primaries. So I

 9 would urge anybody out there that is

10 Independent to have a voice in this primary

11 election.

12 I want to remind everyone in the

13 last municipal election for Mayor, only

14 approximately 13,000 people voted out of 47,000

15 registered voters. So again, I would just

16 encourage people to take part in the upcoming

17 primary and make your voice heard.

18 I appreciate Independents, but they

19 don't have a voice in the primaries in

20 Pennsylvania because they're closed. The only

21 other thing I would like to request is that I

22 don't like to he believe rumors. I don't

23 believe rumors.

24 So if something's not factual then I

25 don't believe it. I believe people had brought
 48

 1 up the question if Mayor Cognetti intends to

 2 run for Congress next year if that's her

 3 intention.

 4 And if she does and she wins, that

 5 would put Scranton back into a special

 6 election. So I think we as constituents and

 7 voters have a right to know her intentions. It

 8 was told by Council to ask her. Nobody could

 9 seem to pin her down to get an answer to that

10 question.

11 I know that she -- early on when she

12 was running in 2021 touted being the first

13 Mayor in decades to attend City Council

14 meetings. I have not seen her at a City

15 Council meeting in many, many months, maybe

16 years.

17 I would like to personally invite

18 her to attend the next City Council meeting and

19 possibly answer some of the questions that the

20 voters have so that we're aware of what her

21 intentions are going forward as an incumbent

22 running for Mayor again. That's all, Council.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you. Have a

25 great night.
 49

 1 MR. SMURL: Thanks. Okay, so what

 2 this is -- when you -- you have to go back over

 3 to that so we could hear you. Yes, I know.

 4 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay.

 5 MR. SMURL: So, Doris, what it is,

 6 is whenever you're going to cut the street at

 7 all and make any alterations, you call PA One

 8 Call.

 9 And what that does, it alerts all of

10 the utilities. You see all of the utilities

11 there, PA Water and all the white ones and

12 different colors, so all of the utilities have

13 been notified to come up and mark where their

14 utilities are underground.

15 So once that's done, that means

16 there's going to be a project. Something is

17 going to happen there. But that's why there's

18 all different ones, different colors and

19 different, you know, you see the one that said

20 PAWC 1 inch, 1 inch beam? So there's a 1 inch

21 beam underneath that.

22 So that's why they're all there

23 right now. They have to do all of that before

24 anyone can -- you can cut that street.

25 MS. KOLOSKI: So you think it is for
 50

 1 the --

 2 MR. SMURL: You know what, they

 3 marked it -- they have it marked right around

 4 the curb so I would believe it is.

 5 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay, because

 6 otherwise I was just going to ask Mr.

 7 Voldenberg to give me the direct number to

 8 whoever it is that you guys keep calling

 9 because I know you guys keep calling and --

10 MR. SMURL: Well, we just send it

11 down to the administration for the -- you're

12 looking for the ramp?

13 MS. KOLOSKI: Yeah.

14 MR. SMURL: Yeah.

15 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay, so I just have a

16 couple of little things I wanted to address

17 because every time I come here I keep hearing

18 about pools with diving boards and nobody loves

19 a swimming pool more than me. My whole family

20 is a swimming family.

21 All my kids swam competitively. But

22 diving boards have been removed from almost

23 every public pool, God, since my kids were

24 little and my oldest is 61 because of insurance

25 and the danger.
 51

 1 So it's not the fault of the city or

 2 the Council. It's the fault of insurance

 3 companies and safety measures.

 4 A code enforcement when I keep

 5 hearing about the code enforcement just now, to

 6 me, code enforcement doesn't really have any

 7 power unless they -- happens to be a resident

 8 that takes care of their property and they stop

 9 because something's on their porch and offer to

10 give them a ticket.

11 Otherwise, anything they do, they

12 just keep plastering the doors and the window

13 and everything with their -- their stuff. I

14 mean, I know because of 421 and I know it keeps

15 going to litigation. But the code enforcement

16 guy asked me in the middle of the winter one

17 time what is it that you needed done there when

18 I wanted the sidewalk moved.

19 And alls he did was put a note on

20 the door. So, I mean, they really don't have

21 that much power. I want to thank anybody

22 that's listening from the transit company,

23 Colts, the Colts company.

24 As you all know, I was here, like, a

25 couple years ago trying to get a bus, a place
 52

 1 for the Geisinger patients to sit with shelter

 2 in a bus. And they have -- it's been up there

 3 now for maybe a couple months. I just haven't

 4 gotten to their meeting to thank them

 5 personally.

 6 So if any of them are listening

 7 here, I mean, it did take too long. It took

 8 almost over a year. But it's in full force and

 9 people are loving it. So it makes you feel

10 good when you come out and you see people

11 sitting there instead of leaning on a mailbox.

12 And one thing was talking about the

13 homeless and I know we really need to do

14 something about the homeless, the ones that you

15 could help. I mean, obviously there are some

16 that you can't help because of certain reasons

17 that they don't want to come inside.

18 But there has been a new thing and

19 maybe you guys could look into. I don't know

20 if it -- it wouldn't really be you as much as

21 maybe the state. There's some new kinds of

22 housing that I've been seeing on a couple

23 programs on TV, news programs.

24 I believe -- I'm not -- I might not

25 be remembering correctly; but I think they were
 53

 1 trying the houses in San Francisco. They're

 2 made of some kind of -- they aren't made of,

 3 like, concrete and the wood. They're made of

 4 environmentally material and supposedly

 5 stronger than concrete.

 6 And they could set up in a matter of

 7 months. Some of them look like Lego bricks.

 8 Others don't. There were two different kinds.

 9 And I wish I could remember what news program.

10 I was flipping the TV, like, taking it down

11 from a DVR program, you know, while I was

12 getting up to go to the bathroom and I heard

13 it.

14 And then I heard it again on another

15 news program. So it might be something people

16 could look into. I'm sure it would be off in

17 the distant future. But I know even if we try

18 to build houses for the homeless which we need

19 to do, we need affordable housing. With us

20 it's going to take years and years to do.

21 And supposedly, these houses don't

22 take years and years to do. They take a

23 matter of months. And they're not prefab.

24 It's something else. It's not like a Hanover

25 Home or whatever. You know, it's something
 54

 1 different. So maybe you could figure it out.

 2 Thank you for your time.

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris.

 4 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

 5 Tonight I want to first express my displeasure

 6 in not moving Council to Wednesday last week.

 7 It seems that you move it for any other

 8 reasons. But as it was in direct conflict with

 9 the mayoral debates, I was forced to choose

10 between being able to participate in my

11 government or being an informed voter.

12 You've moved Council before many

13 times. Unfortunately, you chose not to do so

14 for this community event. Next, I would love

15 it if new Council members were required to take

16 some cursory legal training, not on the dos and

17 don'ts -- on the dos and don'ts of the seat.

18 I'm not talking about a law being

19 able to quote the laws, but at least since

20 you've taken the Oath of Office to uphold the

21 Constitution and State laws to have basic and

22 information session on recent rulings provided

23 at training, basic Constitutional rights,

24 Robert's Rule, the Sunshine Act, ethics, and

25 other teachings before you actually take one of
 55

 1 these seats.

 2 Last week we had an issue about

 3 supposed disciplinary actions and personnel

 4 matters. The body was instructed they normally

 5 do not speak on personnel matters. But they

 6 can. Just like the right to know, while

 7 information can be withheld under specific

 8 guidelines, this does not require it to be

 9 withheld.

10 And unlike the belief spoken here,

11 Council is a coequal branch of this government

12 and not under the Mayor's restrictions. That

13 being said, a while ago Councilman King was

14 upset by a speaker. Shocking, I know. And

15 replied that he had the First Amendment rights

16 to speak back and say whatever he wanted to

17 from the President's dais.

18 This is not the case. As a City

19 Council member, you're acting under color of

20 law or color of office that makes you legally

21 vulnerable and civilly liable when acting as a

22 member of this body and Council.

23 Your speech is restricted to the

24 position of office. Obscenities are protected

25 speech. Although distasteful in most
 56

 1 circumstances and show unfavorably on the

 2 person who chooses them as a standard before

 3 this body, we've seen the odd circumstance

 4 where even Joan Hodowanitz selected a choice

 5 word.

 6 And it certainly accentuates the

 7 arguments with a known respectable woman when

 8 she measures those words that way. I'm saying

 9 that like hiring a trainee, it would be nice if

10 City Council and even the Mayor had onboard

11 training on the basic rules of government

12 before taking the seat.

13 Moving on, the Mayor's state of the

14 city scorecard and political advertisement in

15 the lobby of this building was all hoisted as

16 sunshine achievements. Bank interest is not an

17 achievement.

18 Recently we have a 2.5 million cut

19 from the homes that were flooded, condemned and

20 blocked from repair because they met the 51

21 percent threshold. Those condemned in flood

22 zones now in limbo due to the withdrawal of 2.5

23 million in federal funds.

24 I would rethink waiting for funds as

25 the 2.5 million may be a lot more now that the
 57

 1 new evaluations are out. You better move on

 2 that fast.

 3 Nay Aug Park Pool Complex I believe

 4 was 3 million and some change. We have one

 5 million request for the pool from the Horse

 6 Racing and Gambling Fund. How's that going?

 7 So we have 5.5 million we need. And my

 8 goodness, we have 6.6 million earned in

 9 interest on the city accounts.

10 Even with fulfilling both of those

11 projects, we'd have 1.1 million sitting in

12 interest. Let's look at why the 6.6 million is

13 not being used. I could see two reasons. The

14 city in this environment is waiting for grants

15 of other people's money to feed from the pig

16 trough.

17 But that trough is low right now and

18 not expected to be filled. They want to

19 reserve the 6.6 as they are often required to

20 provide matching funds. Or even worse, they're

21 worried about the continuing litigation on the

22 city and repeated actions that put this city

23 into financial risk.

24 And one of the other questions is,

25 why is the new police center's loss of funding
 58

 1 not being discussed and the possibility to

 2 float a bond and if we could go without it?

 3 This was lightly breezed over at the Mayor's

 4 conference when they said, "We've lost the

 5 funding for this and we might have to float a

 6 bond for it."

 7 How come this body has never

 8 discussed the fact that the police center has

 9 lost funding and where we're going to move

10 forward on it? I guess police safety, police

11 enforcement don't matter. Have a good night.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

13 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik

14 Little here. I just handed you three pieces of

15 paper. Hopefully I could refer to them all by

16 the end of my five minutes. I have a head full

17 of ideas that are driving me insane, especially

18 watching WNEP and the Times-Tribune explain it

19 all to us. It's just not right.

20 The government is only as strong as

21 its weakest link. And that's what I'd like to

22 talk about. You know, we had -- we're supposed

23 to have a holistic government from the

24 Constitution.

25 But it just isn't there in this
 59

 1 community with the Home Rule Charter. Justice

 2 delayed is justice denied.

 3 I asked Chat GPT today about who

 4 made -- who made Judge Nealon of the three

 5 judges that were in line and they're fighting

 6 over 1908 and who should be the person in

 7 charge of the county and especially now when

 8 they hand out these fraudulent election board

 9 things only to Republicans.

10 The place is run by Democrat judges.

11 It's mostly judges. That's the thing that

12 people don't know that they have no control

13 over. They don't know what they are voting for

14 when they do it. The second thing I wanted to

15 talk about is the SHA five-year plan.

16 I answered it five years ago. It's

17 supposed to go in the record. They, you know,

18 it's -- they put a thing in the window saying

19 it's available at the library. It wasn't at

20 the library. And then they missent it to the

21 Children's Library.

22 I'd like somebody to look into that

23 because they talk about -- they get millions of

24 dollars and they talk about mundane things. We

25 have a housing and homeless problem in
 60

 1 Scranton. It's called Scranton Housing

 2 Authority.

 3 That's where the problem should be

 4 focused on. And the people that run it are

 5 district attorneys and they're criminalizing

 6 people like me and many other people to be

 7 evicted in front of the judges that they own.

 8 And I'd like to talk about Chris

 9 McNulty who I was talking about a few weeks

10 ago. I saw this thing in the paper about, you

11 know, he's sent to jail. He's spitting at

12 people. But he went to the hospital, you know,

13 it's a healthcare world we're living in.

14 That's where the jobs are and

15 government jobs are where the jobs are, law

16 enforcement. They're marching out of

17 Lackawanna County. Yeah, I want to be a prison

18 guard, you know, but this is becoming a prison

19 county.

20 And so this guy has $50,000 bail.

21 He never made it. He's in jail over a month.

22 I tried to visit him. I only saw him once. I

23 walk in and the phone wasn't working. And then

24 next week I tried to visit him and he was out

25 on April 16th.
 61

 1 And I've been just following the

 2 case because no one cares or knows about this

 3 guy. And I got the paper the other day that

 4 he -- he's out. He's out of jail for

 5 treatment, you know. And that's part of the

 6 whole behavioral thing because that's one of

 7 the big businesses around here. You need

 8 treatment.

 9 You know, but I think he was put in

10 on a false 302 where anybody could point to

11 somebody and say, oh, you're a danger to

12 yourself and society so we got to lock you up.

13 And the same judge that evicted me twice, Judge

14 Farrell, without any evidence, you know, not

15 looking at my lease.

16 The only other person in the room

17 was the DA. You know, and it's like you have

18 to find a new place to live. And even in the

19 documents that, you know, the eviction

20 documents it says no pay and stay. That's what

21 they're doing over here at Scranton Housing

22 Authority.

23 They are running their own little

24 thing. And it's federally funded. And no one

25 is following how it goes. I'm glad to see the
 62

 1 two judges were arrested, you know, for --

 2 recently. And I hope that keeps going because

 3 it's the law like this that has gone wrong.

 4 And, you know, we need to find out who's doing

 5 what because it's not democracy. It's not

 6 democracy.

 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 8 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council,

 9 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Last couple weeks I

10 mentioned two radioactive leachate lines in

11 Scranton running through neighborhoods near

12 schools, places of worship, along the

13 Lackawanna River. Each of you chose to say

14 nothing.

15 Under PA Code Title 25, Chapter 71,

16 municipalities are required to ensure proper

17 operation and maintenance of sewage facilities

18 within their border and ordinance with a clean

19 streams law and regulations act.

20 These old sewer lines are more than

21 likely cracked, leaking and have tree roots

22 running through them. One of you is running

23 for reelection and yet, you say nothing. We

24 mentioned our city has lost four deep pools you

25 said nothing.
 63

 1 Kids do not want splash pads. They

 2 want deep end pools with diving boards. So

 3 many family memories have been lost because of

 4 this and you said nothing. Two pools total for

 5 Novembrino Complex are gone.

 6 And you don't care to chime in other

 7 than an infomercial about the Mayor. I

 8 mentioned several ways to generate money

 9 without raising taxes like a hotel tax. Over

10 800 beds in Scranton represent our hotel

11 industry.

12 It will be more than enough money to

13 generate to pay for a deep end pool in Nay Aug.

14 A donation link on city website apparently

15 isn't the answer at her attempt at fixing

16 another costly mistake.

17 Mayor James Walsh in the 60s was

18 voted out of office because he built two

19 historic pools at Nay Aug. Now we will fire

20 this Mayor because she took one away with the

21 careless with the truth, yet, you say nothing.

22 You hear stories about this horrible

23 road condition because the utility contractors

24 are not doing their jobs effectively. Swerve

25 patterns suck. Mentioned this in communication
 64

 1 with these contractors informing them they're

 2 not holding up to the standards.

 3 And it's very costly, left

 4 unsupervised for two years and you said

 5 nothing. They do not finish the cuts with tar

 6 once they are completed. How many times must I

 7 say this? Mr. King could care less. His

 8 street was paved.

 9 From what I'm hearing, the Scranton

10 Police Department is short 40-plus police

11 officers. I imagine that this is because of

12 the switch of the police testing companies.

13 When you have 130 testing and end up with four

14 hires, that's a problem.

15 I'm not the only one who mentioned

16 this, and yet, you said nothing. I'm not the

17 only one that mentioned that 248 school-age

18 children are considered homeless that attend

19 the Scranton School District. And the only

20 answer we received is when is the next meeting

21 for the unhoused commission.

22 Other than that, you said nothing.

23 The city needs to take care of its own before

24 we consider taking care of others. Mayor just

25 gives away money for these nonprofits with
 65

 1 little or no oversight and how it's spent.

 2 Our city has many challenges ahead.

 3 The first is get rid of this expansion team.

 4 DPW Director lives in Dunmore. Do you think he

 5 really cares about a road and safety? There is

 6 not one critical position filled from outside

 7 our city.

 8 There will not be one in my

 9 administration. There will not be 75 percent

10 turnover like in the last five years. The

11 primary is right around the corner. It's a few

12 weeks away. There are many good individuals on

13 both sides running for City Council that mean

14 well.

15 I cannot vote on May 20th because an

16 Independent. I see people, not parties.

17 Democrats are looking at two tries to unseat

18 the Mayor. I only need one. I hope that every

19 registered voter in Scranton picks up their

20 head, looks around at our current climate and

21 agrees that this is not the city that they

22 envisioned.

23 It's the time to pay attention to

24 local stuff in a critical election year. Speak

25 your mind on Election Day and vote circulating
 66

 1 my petition. I will be on the ballot in

 2 November as a true Independent for Mayor of

 3 Scranton.

 4 I'm also putting together a winning

 5 team. It's time to flip the script, give the

 6 city back to the good people of Scranton. It's

 7 an uphill climb against Paige and the machine.

 8 I'm ready for the challenge. Everyone loves an

 9 underdog. Good evening, Council. Change is

10 coming.

11 MR. SMURL: Change is coming.

12 Mr. Mancini, DEP has been notified recently.

13 And they have been in town twice. So those

14 calls were made. Anyone else?

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.

16 Motions.

17 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have

18 any motions or comments?

19 MR. KING: The one individual that

20 spoke earlier today, I just want to say that

21 I'm 110 percent for making sure that Scranton

22 is a welcoming community.

23 I'm a former educator who welcomed

24 students from all over the world. We had

25 students of all genders, always respected
 67

 1 students no matter what their religion is. It

 2 just didn't matter.

 3 And I'm all for providing the type

 4 of community and environment that is welcoming

 5 to all. So that's all I have to say. Thank

 6 you.

 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.

 8 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

 9 comments?

10 MR. SCHUSTER: I guess I might as

11 well follow up with that. I'd also agree with

12 Mr. King. I don't single out or bully anyone.

13 I'm a welcoming individual and feel the same

14 way.

15 Last week I asked for a list of the

16 pave cuts from January 1st of 2025 as the city

17 was moving in a new direction when it looks at

18 how we inspect pave cuts. I did receive that

19 list. So thank you, Mr. Voldenberg, and thank

20 the administration for that list.

21 I'll take a look at it prior to our

22 upcoming meeting that we're going to have.

23 Some -- one of the questions that I wanted to

24 ask in regard to this if we could send it over

25 is how is the city tracking and what's the
 68

 1 protocol for smaller subcontractors that are

 2 doing the cuts?

 3 When a company comes to the city for

 4 a permit, do they have to use a subcode when

 5 getting that permit application? And how are

 6 we providing them the permit -- how are we

 7 providing that permit info to the inspection

 8 company that's doing the inspections on the

 9 cuts?

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

11 questions, sir.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. For

13 larger projects such as the one that's on the

14 border of Dickson City and Scranton near

15 Toyota, can we ask how do to we ensure that the

16 company that's doing that work -- because this

17 is work that's going to take an extended period

18 of time.

19 It's a large project. How is the

20 city ensuring that that company is backfilling

21 those -- those cuts to make those roads

22 drivable?

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll also ask those

24 questions.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
 69

 1 I got some calls from the Meadow Brook -- some

 2 Meadow Brook residents. Can we also leave

 3 Morgan Fetsock a message to reach out to the

 4 Meadow Brook residents just to give an update

 5 as to where they are with the -- with the

 6 updates and revisions on that project?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have her do

 8 that.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Last week

10 Mr. Srebro came in and informed us that a

11 culvert and drainage near his house was

12 beginning to get clogged. So I would like to

13 say thank you to DPW for clearing that area

14 ahead of the spring storms if we could get that

15 message out as well.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send a thank

17 you to them.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. In

19 regards to the DPW union negotiations, we're

20 five months into an expired contract. I know

21 that there was some opportunities to meet and

22 it didn't occur. Can we find out if there are

23 going to be any meetings for the month of May?

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
 70

 1 That's all at this time. Thank you.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster.

 3 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

 4 comments?

 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. First probably

 6 without surprise, I do also want to state that,

 7 yes, I am committed to doing whatever we can on

 8 Council to protect the LGBTQ community in the

 9 City of Scranton obviously being a part of that

10 community myself.

11 It's important for my family, my

12 friends, loved ones that, you know, I think are

13 dealing with a lot right now, a lot more than

14 they should have to. And I'm lucky to be in a

15 position I hope with what I could do to help.

16 So that's -- I just wanted to make sure to

17 point that out.

18 And I wanted to -- a couple things

19 other things from citizens participation too.

20 Lackawanna Avenue paving, I would like to

21 request updates once again on that because I

22 think the last time I had, we hadn't received

23 anything. So, Mr. Voldenberg, if could you

24 reach out again to find out when that's going

25 to be repaved and marked.
 71

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get the

 2 schedule.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And I

 4 appreciated the question about Robinson Park

 5 because I plan on definitely visiting that park

 6 with my little ones. And I'm wondering the

 7 same thing too about safety with the water

 8 that's nearby.

 9 So if we can ask Parks and Rec if

10 there's going to be any supervision, life

11 guarding, what that plan is with Robinson Park

12 and safety.

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them

14 tomorrow.

15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And also

16 want to bring up and I think I'm probably going

17 to have to start tracking how much I've asked

18 about this but regarding Colfax Avenue and

19 Olive. The last thing that I have is from what

20 you had sent, Frank, which was I think April

21 11th.

22 So and I don't believe we received a

23 response, at least nothing that's in my inbox.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did not. I

25 reached out to them again yesterday afternoon.
 72

 1 Right now it's between Reilly Associates, the

 2 City Engineer and DPW to figure that out.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay, yeah, we

 4 need -- I mean, someone needs to just come,

 5 take the ball and do it so --

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll press for an

 7 answer.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I don't -- it

 9 shouldn't be an incredibly big project

10 something that I wouldn't think would take very

11 long at all to do. Someone just has to get on

12 the schedule.

13 And if we need to -- if the city

14 needs to take care of that, then let's just do

15 it. That's everything I wanted to bring up.

16 Thank you.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

18 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

19 motion or comments?

20 MR. MCANDREW: Okay, yeah, to start,

21 so for the past 18 years I've stood in front of

22 students from every ethnic background,

23 persuasion that you could think of and fostered

24 zero tolerance for bullying or any of that type

25 of behavior in my classroom.
 73

 1 As Chairman for the Committee on

 2 Public Safety, the health, safety, and welfare

 3 of all its residents equally is a priority one

 4 for me. So I hope that answers your question.

 5 Moving on, so a couple weeks ago

 6 we've been talking about the Show Mobile and

 7 the process of obtaining it and whether you

 8 would get a waiver or not.

 9 So we had to go back to this because

10 we weren't getting complete answers. So the

11 last answer -- the last update I have is

12 because I said if they do provide waivers, we

13 didn't -- we heard about it -- heard they did

14 but we didn't know what the process was or how

15 at -- or at whose discretion or how it's

16 determined.

17 So the latest I got because I asked

18 them for an update on this question is, so when

19 applications are submitted -- and my

20 understanding you do them online, groups can

21 leave a note. Where, I don't know online

22 because I never filled out this form --

23 requesting a waiver and the requests are

24 forwarded to the Parks Department.

25 So that's -- hope it's the final
 74

 1 answer we need on that regarding the process

 2 so other people can receive the same waivers

 3 moving forward. All right. So I had a couple

 4 complaints. This one is on the mountain. Some

 5 of them are reoccurring. This is East

 6 Mountain.

 7 One is to -- one of these residents,

 8 you know, has a scanner likes to listen to it.

 9 I know a lot of people that sit by their

10 scanner. Her concern is for the police

11 department and, you know, I don't know how

12 their process really goes.

13 They'd like to see it coded because

14 this lady knows of other people that alert

15 their children and grandchildren when they're

16 announcing say, hey, I'm going over to this

17 park or I'm going to that park at 10:00 at

18 night or 11:00.

19 So, you know, it's not a bad idea.

20 Maybe -- maybe that -- I don't know how the

21 process is. Maybe they could figure that out

22 because kids are being alerted and that could

23 be an issue.

24 Second, at the bottom of East

25 Mountain Road across from the Salvation Army,
 75

 1 large overgrown grassy area, also the concrete

 2 blocks stopping ATVs are ruddy looking. So

 3 this lady -- this resident constantly brings

 4 this to our attention every year that this is

 5 an area that's really not taken care of well.

 6 And, you know, and she also says

 7 this is, you know, an entrance or a gateway to

 8 our city and I agree with her. And especially

 9 with all the graduations coming up, the U and

10 Marywood, we should probably make our bed

11 because company's coming. I get it.

12 So also from Meadow Avenue to Lake

13 Scranton, the South Side of Moosic Street needs

14 cleaning. The amount of liter is horrible.

15 The sidewalk over Route 81 is covered with

16 cinders since -- from 2024. So that needs a

17 little attention.

18 Then the blocks of Moosic Street

19 from Meadow Avenue to Harrison Avenue, south

20 side or left side going towards the city needs

21 raking and sidewalks need cleaning. And then

22 Moosic Street, Meadow Avenue, bottom of East

23 Mountain Road are all visible as you enter the

24 city at Moosic Street as you exit 81 South

25 because the area is not being cared for, our
 76

 1 start to Scranton is visibly negative.

 2 So also with regard to, like, some

 3 of these are state -- taken care of by PennDOT.

 4 And some of it's the city's responsibility.

 5 And I'm aware of that. But the one -- the one

 6 Route 81 North exit to River Street is the

 7 State's responsibility.

 8 But guess what, they came. They cut

 9 and trimmed the area four to six weeks ago.

10 But they just left everything there. And now

11 with, you know, being warm and dry out, this

12 presents a fire hazard. So if we could please,

13 you know, follow up on that and make PennDOT

14 aware of that.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

16 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank

17 you. Next, this happens -- this seems to

18 happen every year too around this time and

19 during the summer. Some of these illegal auto

20 shops pop up, right, or ones that are in

21 business aren't really up to code per se with,

22 you know, some related blight.

23 So I got one is 1503 North Main

24 Avenue service shop. Cars are double parked on

25 both sides of the street. There's like one
 77

 1 of -- there's like three right in front of the

 2 place with three flat tires.

 3 And this is -- this is preventing

 4 the buses from safely going up to Armstrong

 5 School. So if you could please alert code

 6 enforcement with that one.

 7 Then there's another garage over on

 8 839 Capouse. And I'm told by a resident it has

 9 multiple resident-related issues. And one of

10 them is blight -- actually in front of and the

11 back of the service station, there's like boats

12 and campers. It's -- there's a lot of

13 uninspected or unregistered vehicles.

14 I don't know if they're waiting to

15 be worked on. But, like, there's quite a bit

16 that maybe aren't -- they're not sightly.

17 Obviously, they're unsightly and they're a

18 quality of life issues for these neighbors here

19 because they're bringing it to my attention.

20 And there's like a no parking sign

21 in front that people seem to park in and

22 they're never issued a citation if you could

23 ask the police department about that. And

24 actually the owner of this garage apparently

25 does this in front of this residents's house or
 78

 1 if --

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: Also, I don't have it

 4 written down, but I got quick one on the way

 5 here, which is not unusual. I didn't have time

 6 to write it down. But there's a property right

 7 next to National Bakery in North Scranton on

 8 Main Avenue.

 9 And I guess a similar situation

10 where someone is operating, fixing cars out of

11 this garage on this property, probably not, you

12 know, it's probably not legal or have a license

13 to do so that's affecting the neighbors there

14 and it's a very -- it's a concern with them if

15 that could be investigated.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll send them out.

17 MR. MCANDREW: All right. And

18 that's all I have. Thank you.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew.

20 Angela, I guess I'll address yours first.

21 First, I would like to say that I don't

22 personally judge anyone for what they are, who

23 they claim they are, or what they -- for

24 whatever, for whatever reason. I believe I

25 support everyone in this city equally.
 79

 1 And I believe this Council as a

 2 whole has never strayed from that. I believe

 3 we all feel the same way, okay? Thank you.

 4 Joan -- she's gone. Frank, will you

 5 give this to Joan tomorrow, the response from

 6 the city for her questions on the blowing --

 7 the street blowing all the stuff into the

 8 street.

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll let her know

10 what we discussed.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all,

12 Frank.

25 There's not much backup information here on
 81

 1 this. Can we find out how big these holes are,

 2 these sinkholes and what type of sinkholes they

 3 are?

 4 And then from that, I did send over

 5 to the administration they said some time ago

 6 that they were sending a truck out. There was

 7 some sinkholes at 16 Fawnwood -- Fawnwood

 8 Drive. And also --

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I remember that

10 address. I'll find out.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: And then also, there

12 were some sinkholes that were occurring on the

13 Forest Glen Drive -- around Forest Glen and

14 Dogwood Circle. DPW did come out and fill

15 those.

16 And the road above it a little bit

17 is also starting to sink or collapse. So while

18 we're -- we're looking at this, if we could

19 find out about those other address as well.
