 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.

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: I make a motion to

20 take from the table Resolution No. 264, 2025.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Second.

22 MR. SMURL: There's a motion on the

23 floor and a second to take from the table

24 Resolution No. 264 of 2025 and place it in

25 Seventh Order for a final vote.
 4

 1 This resolution is the HARB

 2 recommendation for the installation of a

 3 digital billboard at 141 Jefferson Avenue. All

 4 those in favor?

 5 MR. KING: Aye.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

 8 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

 9 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

10 have it and so moved. Dispense with the

11 reading of the minutes.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

13 3.A. CORRESPONDENCE DATED OCTOBER

14 2, 2025, FROM CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION,

15 REGARDING CAPITAL RESERVE BUDGET TRANSFER FOR

16 CITY PARK UPGRADES.

17 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

18 on any of the Third Order items? If not,

19 received and filed. Do any Council members

20 have any announcements at this time?

21 MR. KING: I have a quick

22 announcement. This Sunday is the 28th annual

23 Steamtown Marathon being run to benefit the

24 children of St. Joseph's Center.

25 I just want to ask the residents to
 5

 1 be a little patient with us between the hours

 2 of 10 a.m. and probably 1:45 p.m. The course

 3 comes into Scranton. It starts in Forest City

 4 and finishes in Scranton. But it enters the

 5 city at Boulevard Avenue.

 6 It works its way up Electric Street

 7 and then takes a right out Capouse, takes

 8 Capouse to Walnut, takes a left on Walnut and

 9 then comes straight down North Washington and

10 finishes in front of the Lackawanna County

11 Courthouse.

12 So between the hours of 10 a.m. and

13 probably like 1:45 or 1:30 p.m., people wishing

14 to cross over to West Side from East Scranton

15 or East Mountain or South Side can -- you'll

16 actually be able to get around the course on

17 Lackawanna Avenue.

18 If you need to come down Gibson

19 Street, you can cross. We'll have police

20 there. They'll be crossing people. Green

21 Ridge Street, they'll have police crossing. As

22 there's gaps in the -- with the runners,

23 they'll feed you across, just ask that you be a

24 little patient while the runners are crossing.

25 But other than that, that's about
 6

 1 it. We are looking forward to welcoming over a

 2 thousand runners from 27 states and I think

 3 three countries coming to our great Northeast

 4 Pennsylvania to compete in that marathon. So

 5 we're excited about that. That's it.

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

 7 Anyone else?

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yeah, I just want to

 9 mention a couple things that happened over the

10 weekend within our city. There were -- there

11 was a lot going on. But City Hall Friday night

12 had our open house. And I was able to be there

13 with my family and it was a great event.

14 I hope everyone who came enjoyed it

15 and was able to get a piece of slate from

16 outside. And I also wanted to congratulate the

17 Fringe Festival on another successful year of

18 their festival.

19 This one was I know was especially

20 hard for them as an organization without their

21 cofounder this year, Liz Bohan who had passed

22 away. And but they still had -- had a very

23 successful festival. And it's a really great

24 thing that we're able to have. So I just

25 wanted to mention those two things. Thank you.
 7

 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

 2 Rothchild. Anyone else?

 3 MR. MCANDREW: I have a quick one.

 4 So this Saturday night at 5:30, Elm Park Church

 5 is having their monthly free community dinner.

 6 Dinner for this Saturday is lasagna and you're

 7 requested to use the Madison Avenue entrance.

 8 Elm Park serves a nice monthly meal

 9 for the community. I'm a culinary guy. I

10 think this is fantastic that they are providing

11 a free meal to the community. And, you know,

12 like any event, food brings people together.

13 So I applaud their efforts for this. And

14 that's all I have.

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

16 This is from the Council Rules. I'm going to

17 give a reminder tonight. When you speak to

18 Council, you speak to Council as a body, not a

19 particular Council member.

20 You don't speak to staff or audience

21 members and refrain from engaging in

22 conversations with individual Council members.

23 This time is intended for you. A discussion

24 between Council and a speaker is not allowed.

25 That is it.
 8

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 2 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

 3 MR. SMURL: First signature is

 4 Jeffery Fox.

 5 MR. FOX: Good evening, Council.

 6 The reason for I'm here is the taxes are

 7 getting raised, city taxes, school taxes,

 8 property taxes. And then, like, where's the

 9 money going when, like, sidewalks are not

10 repaired?

11 On Sunday afternoon I was walking

12 with my son, 7th Avenue across from the credit

13 union. And I got pictures. My son who is

14 special needs besides, stepped in there and

15 sprained his knee. Taxes raise, raise, raise,

16 we got sidewalks that look like that.

17 I got pictures where my son fell if

18 you would like to look at them.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: What was the area?

20 It was 7th Avenue?

21 MR. FOX: 7th Avenue across -- it's

22 like down from the church there across from the

23 credit union. And it ended up that he suffered

24 a sprained knee. Like I said, he's autistic,

25 nonverbal, developmentally delayed and, like,
 9

 1 the kid had to go through something like that.

 2 MR. SMURL: Okay.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: That's very sad to

 4 hear. I feel your pain. But could you forward

 5 them pictures to Miss Carrera here somehow or

 6 do it --

 7 MR. FOX: Okay. I'll get her e-mail

 8 or cell --

 9 MR. MCANDREW: Right. Coordinate

10 that with her and then we could forward that

11 onto administration.

12 MR. FOX: Okay. And again, that's

13 it. I don't even need the full time. Thank

14 you for listening. I appreciate it.

15 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

17 Voldenberg, I don't know who owns that property

18 on the corner. I know it's right next -- after

19 the rectory of the church and the rectory as

20 you're coming towards -- on the right side.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct. We

22 may not need the pictures. I'll send code

23 enforcement out to that specific avenue.

24 MR. SMURL: Or at least find out who

25 owns it. See if we do own it. And if we do,
 10

 1 maybe the blight people could go out and take a

 2 look at it and see what we could do with it.

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that and

 4 report back.

 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Joan

 6 Hodowanitz.

 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

 8 Scranton. First, just a suggestion for each of

 9 you on City Council. For a few weeks you've

10 been sitting at your chairs on the dais for the

11 public caucus.

12 And it would be helpful for those

13 of us sitting back in the gallery here if you

14 would use your microphones so we could hear

15 your conversation better. It is a public

16 caucus. So we should be able to hear what you

17 are saying, so just a suggestion.

18 They're right in front of you. All

19 you have to do is push the button. And, yes,

20 Virginia, there is a 2024 audit because I have

21 a copy thanks to Frank Voldenberg who sent me a

22 copy. And he says it will be in Third Order

23 next week.

24 But it looks like the city's

25 financial statements are fairly presented. The
 11

 1 only thing of note that I saw in there was that

 2 expenditures exceeded revenues by 3 and a half

 3 million dollars.

 4 Now, that's a question you should

 5 probably ask the administration what drove that

 6 deficit, was it a one time or a couple unusual

 7 unforeseen expenditures that -- into the budget

 8 or is there some kind of structural deficit

 9 that needs to be addressed so it doesn't

10 continue year after year.

11 But other than that, you know, the

12 audit reflects that finances were well managed.

13 So but I would like to know what happened to

14 that 3 and a half million dollars.

15 I would also like to know when we

16 are going to get a new Director of DPW? It's

17 been vacant for a long time.

18 MR. SMURL: Yes, it has.

19 MS. HODOWANITZ: And when are we

20 going to get a new collective bargaining

21 agreement for the DPW? It's been nine-plus

22 months.

23 MR. SMURL: Yes.

24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Which brings us to

25 the issue of the budget is just around the
 12

 1 corner. Usually we see a draft around

 2 midOctober. Is anyone aware of when we might

 3 see this year's draft for next year? Maybe

 4 next week?

 5 MR. SMURL: It has begun. And there

 6 are certain sections that are done. But I

 7 don't know enough to throw out some of --

 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: They can't hang

 9 fire too long because of the 30-day requirement

10 for public comment and everything else. And

11 December is just around the corner.

12 But speaking of the budget, the

13 county has been very specific about the

14 negative impact of no state budget on county

15 finances and financial planning.

16 I would be interested if anyone has

17 heard anything about the impact on Scranton's

18 plans financially for the future. I mean, for

19 example, the pension, the state contributes to

20 our municipal pension. Without a budget, is

21 that going to be affected at all for this year?

22 MR. SMURL: Well, if they don't

23 contribute on time, I assume there would be

24 a --

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, well, we
 13

 1 don't have a budget. And who thought it would

 2 be hanging fire this long. I would like to

 3 know that answer. And let's see, oh, yes, 5-B

 4 is the Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project.

 5 I did look at the backup and I

 6 noticed that the four way stop signs are still

 7 planned to take effect. And, you know, I've

 8 talked to some people. And some people are not

 9 worried about it because they said, well, you

10 know, when you're driving down Wyoming or even

11 down Lackawanna Avenue or Penn, you know, you

12 see all of those streetlights.

13 And if it's green, you want to hit

14 every green light so you tend to speed up.

15 MR. SMURL: That's me.

16 MS. HODOWANITZ: With four-way stop

17 signs, it should stop you from doing that for

18 more than one block. And then you have to stop

19 and so on and so forth. My only question is,

20 you know, drivers are tending to be very

21 distracted these days, their cell phones and

22 everything else.

23 Are they going to pay attention to

24 pedestrians trying to cross the street? And

25 how is a pedestrian to know when it's safe to
 14

 1 cross? You know, I'd like those answers. And

 2 5-C, the Nay Aug project Phase 2, I would like

 3 to know when we could expect a pool to be open

 4 for swimming at Nay Aug Park. Will it be 2026

 5 or later?

 6 MR. SMURL: No, that pool is ready.

 7 It's actually filled. It's ready.

 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: It's ready?

 9 MR. SMURL: The pool is ready.

10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Not this year.

11 MR. SMURL: Well, all courts, the

12 pickleball courts and stuff are under

13 construction. And, Joan, next week the city is

14 going to be here to present all of the

15 information that they have about the lights and

16 the street project.

17 MS. HODOWANITZ: I will be here.

18 What time, 5:30, 5:45?

19 MR. SMURL: 5:30. Well, Mr.

20 Voldenberg, did we do 5:30?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5:45, but I could

22 look at 5:30.

23 MR. SMURL: Maybe we should push it

24 up a little bit to 5:30 if that's okay with

25 them.
 15

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll see.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Thank you.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg?

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Could we ask that

 8 question to the city administration what, if

 9 any, areas of the city budget are impacted by

10 the state not having a budget at this point in

11 time?

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

14 MR. SMURL: Bob Bolus.

15 MR. BOLUS: Bob Bolus, Scranton.

16 First off, I want to bring up about the

17 hospitals -- the two hospitals here in Scranton

18 that we're looking for a buyer and looking for

19 buyers. I want to see them become employee

20 owned.

21 There's enough money in this state

22 between Flynn, Kosierowski or Bridget to get

23 state funding to back that process including

24 federal money from Rob Bresnahan and other

25 Congressmen and make it employee owned.
 16

 1 We have the talent here. Geisinger

 2 is there. They could share personnel. But

 3 they'll come to work. They'll pay taxes. We

 4 don't need some clown coming in and buying us

 5 off taking big money for a CEO and all of their

 6 other crap.

 7 Let's keep it within the people in

 8 the city. And I'm asking Council to get

 9 involved, pass some legislation tonight or make

10 a motion to get the county off their butt,

11 Gaughan to do what we need to do to make this

12 employee owned and then go to the taxing

13 sources and let them come up with the money,

14 put their money where their mouth is.

15 The next thing I want to do is the

16 benefit of the county. I filed a suit against

17 the tax assessor from filing and certifying the

18 assessment. Gaughan said the Commissioners

19 can't do it. So I took the bull by the horns

20 and I filed it to stop them from doing it

21 because it's a damn joke, this assessment.

22 It's so blown out of proportion.

23 They took the Holy Cross Church and said it was

24 worth, 3.1 million. It was in a tax sale

25 because of the taxes and issues we're fighting
 17

 1 with, and not one person bid it.

 2 Now, where the hell do they get it's

 3 worth 3.1 and nobody would buy it. That just

 4 shows the stupidity based on what they did. So

 5 it stopped right now. And it's going to be a

 6 long time before they file it. So you're all

 7 ready -- anybody that wants to join my suit,

 8 just call me at 346-7659.

 9 The other part is PTSD. And I've

10 asked the colonel to get involved with me. You

11 know, PTSD not only affects our military, but

12 let's pay attention to what we just saw, two

13 former Marines, prior service, killed people

14 because there's a gremlin eating at them.

15 And somewhere along the line, that

16 gremlin triggered what they did. We have a

17 process to treat PTSD. I have a clinical

18 psychologist. We've been involved in it in

19 Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina.

20 I brought him here to the Gino

21 Merli. And the VA decided they didn't want to

22 listen to it and walked out of the room. We

23 have a way to release the gremlin and save

24 lives. And it's not only our military. It was

25 the queer that killed Charlie Kirk. He had a
 18

 1 gremlin in him, something bothering him that

 2 was triggered, whatever it was, press,

 3 mechanism, or whatever relationship and he went

 4 after him because of the religion.

 5 But there's a trigger there and he

 6 could have been saved. It doesn't only

 7 affect -- everybody. It could affect each one

 8 of you, a housewife, a police officer. So

 9 PTSD, I want to open up a clinic at my former

10 church, the Holy Cross Church, open to the

11 people that need treatment.

12 It could be sorted by the county,

13 the city, but let's save lives, not lose them

14 because somebody goes off the deep end and

15 kills them. And the colonel and I are going to

16 get involved with our military personnel

17 because remember, when we put a uniform on, we

18 were trained to kill.

19 We weren't trained to shake your

20 damn hand or anything else. So everyone out

21 there that had a uniform, remember, was a

22 trained killer. And a lot of them just can't

23 forget it. So we want that. So that's the

24 PTSD.

25 So I want to set it up there. But
 19

 1 right now I have a memorial trailer in process

 2 for Charlie Kirk on one of my former Trump

 3 trailers with Trump on it. And it's going to

 4 go around the country because he had a mission

 5 and his mission was to save this country. His

 6 mission was to save the youth that are screwed

 7 up by thinking different things and doing

 8 anything wrong.

 9 We got to bring them back to make

10 them understand. If you're in America, you're

11 going to damn well learn to be an American.

12 And whatever the hell is bothering you, your

13 PTSD or whatever, we're going to help you get

14 rid of it and keep our country and take it back

15 from the illegals and all that want to change

16 what our country is.

17 I'm asking your cooperation,

18 gentlemen and lady, to be involved. And let's

19 kick ass with those that don't want to be here.

20 Thank you.

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

22 Brandon -- I can't get your last name. Brandon

23 Pilger, okay.

24 MR. PILGER: How are you? Sorry

25 about that. I have a couple of things that I
 20

 1 brought with me today if you guys don't mind.

 2 Everything on here I brought has to do with

 3 community service, what some people call or

 4 what I like to litter cleanup, which has to do

 5 with, like, on the roads, on the roadside,

 6 sidewalks, sometimes the sewer storm drain

 7 grates for any garbage.

 8 MR. KING: Can you move your mic up

 9 a little bit so we can --

10 MR. PILGER: Sorry. So sorry about

11 that.

12 MR. KING: So we can hear you,

13 thanks.

14 MR. PILGER: All right. So clearly,

15 this is my first time at the City Council

16 meeting so I would like to, first of all, say

17 hello to everybody that is here tonight. Today

18 I am going over everything to do with the

19 litter cleanup which I like to call garbage

20 cleaning. Some people call it community

21 service that I'm going to refer to.

22 So what I would like to do when,

23 like, when it's on my free time, I go out and

24 clean up the roads, the roadside, sidewalks and

25 the storm drain grates which I know that after
 21

 1 storms can get very, very bad and can -- with

 2 storm drain grates, they gets filled enough

 3 which they have, it could cause potential for

 4 flooding in certain areas which is very

 5 important for the city to be concerned about.

 6 And so I am here today to discuss

 7 what I have been doing as far as that. Now, if

 8 you get started with this -- one of the tools

 9 that I use is a litter grabber. This one is

10 about under $10. You could get this at

11 Wal-Mart.

12 It's actually a heavy duty one that

13 could pick up, like, water bottles, heavier

14 items, any various things that are laying on

15 the ground you could build and pick up and put

16 into a bag. So it helps me a lot as far as

17 that, like, for small stuff.

18 I do use a broom and dust pan along

19 with a push broom to help out with cleaning a

20 lot of the garbage that ends up being, like,

21 drawn in from, like, runoff or from people

22 littering, etc. If there is a lot, I use that

23 stuff. It helps me collect more along the way.

24 It helps me clean up the area more efficiently.

25 MR. KING: Brandon, what part of the
 22

 1 city have you been doing this?

 2 MR. PILGER: I have been doing this

 3 in the South Side of Scranton. I am familiar

 4 with the South Side Scranton Neighborhood

 5 Association. They have full support behind me

 6 along with some other people that are within

 7 the group that have also been participating in

 8 the same activities.

 9 It has been going very well as far

10 as that has been going. There has actually

11 been a contest going on for the grate cleaning

12 for all across South Side. Whoever gets the

13 most of them in a certain time period will be

14 able to get a gift card from Gerrity's

15 Supermarket.

16 MR. KING: Thank you for doing that.

17 That's fantastic.

18 MR. PILGER: No problem. And I do

19 have a couple other things. Sometimes I'm out

20 in the sewer drain grates. At night I like to

21 use the road cones. These are small. They're

22 nice and bright. People could see them. I

23 have a couple garbage bags. Everyone knows

24 what these are.

25 So we have, like, 13 gallon trash
 23

 1 bags for the kitchen. Some people already know

 2 and already have these. There is even bigger

 3 contractor bags that could hold more garbage,

 4 if needed. And, of course, I use a high

 5 visibility vest for at nighttime and during the

 6 day so people could see me very clearly when

 7 people are driving or even walking.

 8 After four months of

 9 participating -- contributing towards community

10 service and cleaning up garbage, I have picked

11 up 350 pounds of garbage and volunteered 27

12 hours. That is throughout the last four

13 months.

14 My question for -- I have a couple

15 questions for the city. Could the city work

16 with DPW recycling facilities and potentially

17 PA American Water depending whose

18 responsibility it is to address and resolve any

19 issues related to garbage collection from

20 roads, alleys, roadsides, and storm drain

21 grates?

22 Another question is, could DPW

23 potentially add the job of on foot garbage

24 cleanup services throughout Scranton? And

25 lastly, who is responsible for the storm drain
 24

 1 grates and the garbage from any runoff related

 2 to it for sweeping up and cleaning property?

 3 Will there be services added for storm drain

 4 grate trash removal especially after storms?

 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Brandon.

 6 Thank you very much. Thank you for everything

 7 you've done in South Side. I've seen what

 8 you've done. And I'm actually a member of the

 9 South Side Residents Association. So I think

10 they should just give you the gift certificate

11 and get it over with. So thank you for all of

12 that.

13 MR. KING: DPW is responsible for

14 cleaning those grates. It's just that there's

15 a lot of them around the city. So any help

16 anyone is willing to give, is certainly greatly

17 appreciated. Thank you for what you are doing.

18 MR. PILGER: I do have one question

19 regarding that. Does PA American Water have

20 any relation to pressure washers for, like,

21 dislodging rocks and dirt and --

22 MR. SMURL: That would be -- that

23 will be -- we don't know which ones -- who owns

24 what right now. But your time is up. So there

25 is other people waiting. Thank you.
 25

 1 MR. PILGER: Thank you. Yeah,

 2 that's my last question.

 3 MR. SMURL: Okay.

 4 MR. PILGER: Thank you.

 5 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler.

 6 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

 7 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

 8 homeowner. Last week I spoke about e-bikes and

 9 scooters and how it's a state law they're not

10 allowed on the streets. One thing I neglected

11 to say was, the only place they're legally

12 allowed to be ridden is on their own property

13 unless they're licensed, ensured, and

14 registered.

15 They can't be ridden on the streets.

16 And there was -- on Channel 16 news last night,

17 I don't remember where it was. It was out of

18 this county. But a 59-year-old man was riding

19 an e-bike, went into a telephone pole and died.

20 If he wasn't riding illegally, it wouldn't have

21 happened.

22 I think Council should write a

23 letter to Police Chief Carroll telling his

24 officers to enforce this law that these bikes

25 are not allowed on the streets.
 26

 1 MR. SMURL: Please, there's a

 2 speaker. We can't hear. Sorry, Les.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: Les, I brought this

 4 up a couple times and sent it over to the

 5 department. And I'm waiting to hear for a new

 6 strategy because I agree with you totally.

 7 MR. SPINDLER: Something should be

 8 done.

 9 MR. MCANDREW: I agree.

10 MR. SPINDLER: It's a safety issue.

11 Next thing, the subsidence on Dorothy Street

12 I've been talking about for months now, still

13 not taken care of. I was walking by last week

14 with my dog, somebody removed the barriers,

15 just put them off to the side. I put them back

16 around.

17 But something's got to be done.

18 It's a subsidence. If I didn't put those

19 barriers back and cars kept going over,

20 somebody would have got their car damaged.

21 Next thing, I brought this up a while back

22 about seeing the code enforcement car in

23 Dunmore.

24 Well, this weekend I saw one driving

25 around on Saturday. Does code enforcement work
 27

 1 on the weekends?

 2 COUNCIL: Yes.

 3 MR. SPINDLER: Oh, they do? Oh,

 4 okay. But I bumped into a code enforcement

 5 officer in a drug store a few weeks ago. He

 6 knew me. I didn't know who he was. But he

 7 told me the reason they're in Dunmore.

 8 Sometimes they have to go a magistrate up

 9 there, the magistrate's office or something

10 like --

11 MR. SMURL: Marie, please. There's

12 someone speaking. Sorry, Les.

13 MR. SPINDLER: Next thing, Joan

14 mentioned the Streetscape Program. I can't

15 believe they're going to replace traffic lights

16 with stop signs. I was at that meeting at

17 Lackawanna College.

18 And former City Engineer John Pocius

19 said stop signs should never replace traffic

20 lights. I guess nobody wants to listen to an

21 engineer who knows what he's talking about.

22 And whoever was at that meeting, I asked the

23 gentleman how is sight impaired people going to

24 know when to cross the street?

25 And he didn't answer my question.
 28

 1 He said, oh, the cars would let them go. I

 2 said, that's not what I asked. I said I asked

 3 how are they going to know when to cross

 4 without that beeping noise that the traffic

 5 lights give off? He never answered my

 6 question.

 7 So they are still going forward with

 8 this. When people are killed left and right,

 9 then maybe they'll go back to the traffic

10 lights. It's a ridiculous idea.

11 MR. KING: Les, it's my

12 understanding that that is being addressed in

13 the plan. I believe they are going to be here

14 for caucus next week. So we'll learn more

15 about that when they come here next week.

16 MR. SPINDLER: I wish we were

17 allowed to ask them questions because that

18 gentleman never answered. He just walked

19 around my question.

20 Next thing, yesterday driving down

21 Euclid Avenue which I do every day, at the

22 bottom of Euclid where it meets Main Avenue, I

23 see a stop sign. We always had a stop sign.

24 This one had flashing red lights all around the

25 outside and looked like a solar panel on top.
 29

 1 So it looks like a solar run stop sign, which I

 2 thought was really neat. Has anybody seen this

 3 on other stop signs around the city?

 4 MR. SMURL: Yeah, we have about 15

 5 of them. And they're going to where there's

 6 high traffic incidents. They go to those

 7 intersections.

 8 MR. SPINDLER: Okay. I know that is

 9 a bad area. A lot of times cars pull out --

10 MR. SMURL: Right by the park --

11 Weston Field there too.

12 MR. SPINDLER: There's a lot of

13 accidents in that area.

14 MR. KING: Whenever new stop signs

15 are put in, they'll typically put some lighting

16 on there just because people are used to --

17 MR. SMURL: These are permanent and

18 they are solar.

19 MR. KING: Okay.

20 MR. SPINDLER: Okay. That's all I

21 have tonight. Thank you.

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

23 Ron Ellman.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, when

25 it comes to that Dorothy Street pave cut with
 30

 1 the subsidence, I know it's been filled a

 2 couple times and Mr. Spindler's been bringing

 3 it up. I sent a few emails and never had any

 4 response. Can we reach out again or do you

 5 recall us getting a response on the 17 -- 1800

 6 of Dorothy Street?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: Only that they

 8 would address the issue. So I'll follow up

 9 with Mr. Cusick tomorrow.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. I'm going to

11 hit send again on this, but thank you.

12 MR. SMURL: Ron?

13 MR. ELLMAN: Council, this morning

14 before 5 a.m., I was going up Green Ridge

15 towards that malicious cursing traffic light in

16 front of the library. And again, 5:00 in the

17 morning not a car in sight anywhere, it turns

18 red for me.

19 I really think Paige has had

20 somebody in her administration install some

21 kind of gadget that recognizes me or my car

22 that makes this happen every time I come up

23 there like this.

24 Last night on the news, a woman from

25 I think it was S and S Swimming Pool Company
 31

 1 was complaining the state owed her a hefty

 2 amount of money for storage. It seems like

 3 Shapiro has millions to give the city, 5

 4 million for that dilapidated hotel -- building

 5 the bankers bought, grants for restaurants and

 6 nail salons, but not to pay their bills.

 7 There's something going on wrong in this state.

 8 It started out I liked the man, but

 9 I don't anymore. I don't know. I imagine all

10 of you guys have perused the walkability plan.

11 In it, one place it states that Lackawanna

12 Avenue is a corridor to the city. And yet,

13 Paige wants to take a lane of traffic from

14 automobiles and turn it into a completely

15 illegal bicycle path.

16 The state code for vehicles, you

17 have to be titled, licensed, insured. These

18 EVs are none of that. Besides that, I have

19 ridden on one three, four, years ago. And it

20 would really go fast, but you can't stop it.

21 You could lock the brake and they slide because

22 they're so light.

23 I think someone's going to get hurt

24 or killed before it's all over on one of these

25 things. To me, they are nothing but an illegal
 32

 1 death trap. My neighborhood is full of young

 2 kids. Nobody seems to care. They use the

 3 street. They don't belong on the street or the

 4 sidewalk.

 5 But many years ago after World War

 6 II, they sold a little motor and a kit to put

 7 on bicycles called a wizard. I had several

 8 over the years. They were licensed and legal.

 9 These machines, they keep advertising people

10 all over street. They're not legal in this

11 state.

12 Before the hook comes, I had three

13 or four people during the week ask me again

14 to -- for you people to get the handicap some

15 free parking around here from these greedy

16 people we gave 2 million dollars to. Thank

17 you.

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

19 That is all for the sign-in sheet. Does anyone

20 else wish to address Council?

21 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

22 First off, I'd like to step back to last week.

23 I addressed the curbs and the flooding and

24 Billy Barrett playground and the pickleball

25 area.
 33

 1 I was told that paving east and

 2 uphill location where the road surface was

 3 washed out was scheduled for next week. It has

 4 been milled and a paving is underway. And it

 5 was milled down as close to the stone as

 6 possible. For clarity, the Billy Barrett Park,

 7 the water runoff was impacting the play area

 8 because of insufficient or nonexistent curbs.

 9 I sent a marked Google map, included

10 where the curbs needed to be installed as well

11 as where the water runoff patterns were in that

12 area. I'm pleased to report and thank DPW for

13 fixing the issue by installing about 100 foot

14 of new blacktop curbs and the creation of one

15 on the sidewalk side to the hill surrounding

16 the catch basin so the water would not jump it,

17 run down the hill directly into the play area

18 and into the wooden chips.

19 I understand issues with scheduling

20 large projects. But sometimes identifying

21 small fixes can also provide large impacts. I

22 know some people offer general information and

23 complain. And it's difficult to grasp the

24 water issues on a sunny day.

25 So I hope providing mapping
 34

 1 including topographics offered some insight to

 2 get this fixed. The next stop is the 3200

 3 block on Cedar Avenue on the western side. Due

 4 to weather I understand we're running out of

 5 time and I do not expect it to be addressed as

 6 other areas have issues.

 7 But the curbs there have a

 8 considerable issue and again or are

 9 nonexistent. The properties on the west side

10 of the road as it's all downhill from there and

11 there is no rainwater catch system west of the

12 3200 block of Cedar Avenue.

13 Mitigation is needed until it could

14 finally be resolved. Again, thank you for DPW

15 because 100 foot of new blacktop curb will

16 resolve issues for both the kids who use the

17 park and the city park maintenance who have to

18 fix it after every, every rainfall.

19 Moving on, at the open house, though

20 city hall should always be an open house. I

21 enjoyed looking around and I managed to bend a

22 few ears. I talked to a code enforcement

23 person about the GIS Map. The city's GIS Map,

24 the parking meters from the Bureau of Planning

25 and Zoning, all still reflect a prior meter
 35

 1 time, not the change. They all show eight to

 2 five throughout the city.

 3 Someone needs to update maps. The

 4 second is the parcel information map that's

 5 been open for a year. That map is now behind

 6 the city login and unable for the public to

 7 access a public map. Why is that? I talked to

 8 the DPW person who informed me there is still

 9 no acting director or director, but a manager

10 is now running the show.

11 If they're running the show and they

12 are not just our acting director, or is this

13 another way to side step the requirements and

14 time periods for an acting director if we do

15 not name them as such, we could ignore the laws

16 and requirements.

17 I asked about the street sweeper and

18 was told a new one is in the budget. The old

19 one is working. I was told it goes to areas of

20 the city, but there are some priority areas.

21 If this is true, then what I hear is other

22 taxpayers do not deserve equal treatment for

23 taxes they pay. Some areas are not priority.

24 In other cities, we have real time

25 tracking online of trash, snowplow, street
 36

 1 sweepers. They could even send you a text

 2 alert when they're near. Lackawanna County, we

 3 have buses that do the same. Why can't we

 4 track our city resources?

 5 Maybe if we could, we wouldn't have

 6 a walkabout power washer for years. The post

 7 office and Amazon tell you how far they are

 8 away to service you, but not the city. We're

 9 ten months into the renewed Rubicon. I no

10 longer see reports of weigh bills or anything

11 at City Council.

12 Back in January, Dr. Rothchild asked

13 about houses that were exceptions who didn't

14 put the trash out. She asked how many calls

15 were returned for pickup and was told they did

16 not have it because they did not record it. Do

17 they now? Have they responded back?

18 Has it been forgotten or is nine

19 months rushing it? And last week again when

20 the Mayor is out of town, who in the

21 administration is running the city? With the

22 Mayor starting a run of both Mayor and

23 Representative at the same time, who covers

24 while we have a Mayor who is an absentee

25 landlord? Who is acting as the Mayor when the
 37

 1 Mayor is away?

 2 MR. MCANDREW: -- Eileen Cipriani --

 3 MR. COYNE: But Cipriani can't

 4 qualify for it. It's illegal for Cipriani to

 5 do that. That's why I'm asking who is, not who

 6 is actually doing it. But if she is, that

 7 would be nice to know because she's legally not

 8 allowed to. Thank you.

 9 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton

10 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight

11 let's go back in time with the Paige mediocre

12 machine, shall we? Paige Gebhardt was

13 introduced to Scranton by a Tuscan chicken

14 sandwich by her now husband. She was part of

15 the Hillary Clinton tour.

16 Not long after moving to Scranton,

17 she noticed that a Scranton School Board member

18 resigned. She looked at the position as a way

19 to contribute. She was appointed to the board

20 and named head of the budget and finance

21 committee. During her tenure and prior to

22 walking away from the district, she managed to

23 eliminate all librarians from the district.

24 She recommended laying off 89

25 teachers and negotiating down to 51 after
 38

 1 months of debate with the teachers unions.

 2 Sixteen teachers were furloughed. Maintenance

 3 workers, administrative employees and service

 4 providers ended up with reductions of jobs and

 5 pay, 3.8 percent tax increase.

 6 Shortly after baseless claims that

 7 cost individuals attorneys fees and unwanted

 8 embarrassment, she left the school district to

 9 become special assistant to the State Attorney

10 General where she was watchdog for all 512

11 school districts in the state.

12 She then ran for Mayor in a crowded

13 field. She won with 38 percent of the vote.

14 Shortly after taking office, she placed an

15 extra set of locked doors on the building that

16 have never been open to the public. She

17 changed the police testing which created a

18 shortage for our amazing police department,

19 removed the narcotics unit placing the public

20 and her officers in danger.

21 One early January morning, 2024,

22 gunshots rang out striking one of her

23 detectives. She referred to it as the call. I

24 heard those shots fired. On behalf of your

25 community, continued prayers to Kyle Gilmartin.
 39

 1 Statistics are more important than results with

 2 no one being prosecuted for unwanted opioid

 3 related deaths.

 4 She gave ARPA funds to the head of a

 5 gang in Scranton who was arrested with guns

 6 drawn to the pill press. She even managed to

 7 take a picture with him. She tauted updated

 8 technology to the police department that

 9 includes cameras that are not manned next to no

10 one knowing how to operate them.

11 These increased police calls were

12 more than isolated incidents. They affect our

13 whole city, our police department and citizens

14 deserve better. To the municipalities

15 bordering Scranton, our apologies for your

16 increased crime.

17 Paige Cognetti and her expansion

18 team are at fault. We'll get this next

19 election right. She wanted to move Engine 10

20 off of the East Mountain, updated signs at

21 each firehouse without union emblems. She

22 quested the response time for fire and EMS.

23 Studies have shown each firehouse is

24 positioned in a great location. Ambulances

25 need to be close to them for the best response
 40

 1 times. Our fire department has no issues with

 2 the response times whatsoever. Thank you to

 3 our fire department.

 4 With questions about the sale of two

 5 hospitals in Scranton, Paige managed to shut

 6 down the expansion of the GCMC after they spent

 7 millions to acquire many nearby properties.

 8 GCMC was limited to 45 feet in height. Now

 9 GCMC treats critical patients and ambulances,

10 sometimes 10 deep because of the lack of space.

11 DPW still without a contract when

12 many of their prior functions like tree

13 cutting, pave cut inspections, blight, razing

14 condemned properties and seven different

15 directors. Paige will remove both pools in

16 West Side. She removed the deep end pool at

17 Weston Field and lied about the deep end pool

18 at Nay Aug.

19 Pickleball is more important to her.

20 She refuses to call PA Water to make them

21 responsible for our poor road conditions. She

22 celebrated Tops in Moosic. She pulled to the

23 left with a fire truck right behind her. She

24 took a picture at a park in the Abingtons not

25 even knowing that the school was not in
 41

 1 Scranton, then mass mailed it out with her

 2 fliers.

 3 She managed to fire Marty Flynn's

 4 mom after 19 years of dedicated service because

 5 Marty was named State Senator instead of her.

 6 68.7 million in ARPA funds and the sale of the

 7 sewer authority took us out of Act 47, not

 8 Paige Cognetti.

 9 80 percent of the Mayor's raised

10 contributions are from outside the city. Most

11 are from outside of the state. Stranger

12 danger. Now you know the real Paige Cognetti.

13 You are her backup plan. Don't make the same

14 mistake again. Choose to do better. Good

15 evening.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

17 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, I'm Rik

18 Little. I've been coming here to speak over

19 six years. It started when I was having

20 problems at Scranton Housing Authority locking

21 up my -- confiscating my stuff for two and a

22 half years anyway.

23 Eventually February 5th, last year

24 I'm evicted. I'm on the street at 71. Going

25 through the reams of paper, you know, go to
 42

 1 this agency -- this -- there's so many

 2 agencies. And I have been to them all.

 3 There's nothing for the elderly here.

 4 And yet our former senator, he says

 5 that's the main focus of him as our Senator

 6 from Pennsylvania, Bob Casey. And the Area

 7 Agency on Aging and every time they come, they

 8 come with authorities and they say, you know,

 9 it's health. It's safety. It's the law.

10 The law, the judiciary, that's the

11 big problem. This whole area needs a wake-up

12 call, a wake-up call to exactly what the

13 democracy is. I'm running for Mayor of

14 Scranton. And, you know, as Benjamin Franklin

15 always says, you've got a republic if you could

16 keep it.

17 Well, everybody's gone crazy with,

18 you know, separation of church and state and

19 what their freedom of speech is and all of

20 that. But it just gets wiped out when you get

21 to the county and municipal level. And that's

22 where it really counts where we have a

23 republic.

24 They've changed the meaning of the

25 word democracy. And I'm running as an
 43

 1 independent for Mayor of Scranton. And I was

 2 born to be the next Mayor of Scranton. There

 3 is no doubt about it. I mean, it's so -- I was

 4 trying to put it together and, you know, I come

 5 out of the shelter, there's 20 beds in the

 6 shelter.

 7 What is it, 76,000, 78,000 people in

 8 Scranton? You know, and so I go to the -- I

 9 take it as a job. God said to me, you know,

10 become the next Mayor of Scranton, thought he

11 was crazy, you know. And I didn't do anything

12 about it for a while, just trying to survive

13 following everybody's instructions all over the

14 county and city, all the NGO, 5013C jobs that

15 everybody says to go to.

16 And I'm supposed to be in the debate

17 on the 16th. I haven't gotten confirmation

18 from -- they don't have League of Women Voters

19 anymore. Now it's the Scranton University. I

20 hope they -- I turned in all the paperwork and

21 I haven't heard from them yet.

22 Anyway, you know, God told me become

23 the Mayor of Scranton. So it was the second

24 time I went to the Election Board. The first

25 time was to try to legislate to get rid of the
 44

 1 Biden sign. It's just crazy that we still have

 2 a Biden sign.

 3 And it's even more crazy because I

 4 clearly understand how the judiciary has taken

 5 over the government. You have judges that

 6 are -- run as Republicans and Democrats. And

 7 no one knows who they're voting for. They

 8 don't even know who they are voting for for any

 9 of your offices or Mayor or anything really.

10 So the debate is kind of important.

11 It's an hour long, October 16th. I hope it all

12 works out. I went to Wheaton Central High

13 School, same high school was Bob Woodward who

14 was played by Robert Redford in the movie All

15 The President's Men.

16 That was about Watergate and

17 where -- anyway, in that movie and it's in real

18 life too, he talks to Deep Throat who we found

19 out 20 years later is second in charge of the

20 FBI. And his advice was follow the money. And

21 I think that's a good thing to do.

22 I'm a filmmaker. That's what I'm

23 trained in. To make a film, you have to do

24 certain things, location, build it. It's all

25 about the rectangle and what you put into it.
 45

 1 And in this election I'm supposed to be on the

 2 top of the ballot and I'm not. And that's a

 3 question.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 5 MR. LITTLE: I need more time.

 6 MR. SMURL: We all need more time.

 7 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie

 8 Schumacher, resident of East Mountain. I would

 9 like to know what happened to the large

10 telescope that was at the Lookout on 307.

11 MR. SMURL: Please. I'm sorry,

12 Marie.

13 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, I'm sorry.

14 Yes, there was one of the committees in the

15 city bought that humongous telescope. And it

16 was there and now it's not. Do we know what

17 happened to it? I mean, has it been --

18 MR. SMURL: I don't know, Marie. I

19 don't know when it was taken. I don't know.

20 MR. KING: When was the last time

21 that was there, Marie?

22 MR. SCHUSTER: It was actually there

23 this summer because I was up there with my son

24 this summer and we were using it. Can we ask

25 that question and see if the city has taken it
 46

 1 somewhere?

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I can, sir.

 3 MR. KING: Thank you.

 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: And then what I

 5 would also like to know with that, there's

 6 disappearing stones up there. And I don't

 7 think that's right. And I think something

 8 should be done.

 9 And I was under the impression that

10 you all were going to get a light at the --

11 behind the brown whatever you call those round

12 things so there was light and it would not

13 have -- it might help. It might not.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have further

15 information and answers for you on the Lookout,

16 details that we could give in Fifth Order so we

17 don't take from your time.

18 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay.

19 MR. KING: Yeah, the City Engineer

20 prepared some paperwork and some estimates to

21 repair all of that. So we could bring that up

22 in Fifth Order.

23 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. Well,

24 that would be -- that would be nice. And when

25 will a light be put in behind the round thing;
 47

 1 do we know?

 2 MR. SMURL: I would believe during

 3 the construction while they are working on it.

 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. Thank

 5 you. That's it.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Marie.

 7 Anyone else? Frank?

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

 9 MOTIONS.

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

11 any motions or comments?

12 MR. KING: Just a comment or two.

13 I'm thrilled to see that Reilly Associates did

14 go up there and he's prepared some estimates

15 for the Lookout renovations. Hopefully -- I

16 don't know what they prepared will be included

17 in this year's budget. If not, I'm hoping that

18 the city administration can apply for some

19 grants to help offset the costs.

20 We have a breakdown here. It's

21 about $314,768. And that's -- that includes

22 repointing the stone walls, additional stone

23 repairs, repaving the parking area, stone

24 sidewalk repairs, additional lighting, guide

25 rail transition replacement, security cameras,
 48

 1 mobilization and traffic control.

 2 So I'm hoping maybe if we could ask

 3 a question of the administration now that we

 4 have this prepared by Reilly Associates what

 5 the game plan is to fund this project and when

 6 the city is hoping to -- the administration is

 7 hoping to address it. I would appreciate that.

 8 The other thing, I'm happy to see

 9 legislation this evening that we're going to

10 apply for a RACP grant for 2 million -- 2

11 million, 7 thousand, 938 dollars for Phase 2

12 pool up at Nay Aug. As our Council President

13 indicated, Phase 1 pool is ready.

14 We expect it to open in the spring.

15 But the infrastructure has been laid for the

16 larger eight lane pool which would be

17 considered Phase 2. So I'm hoping that we're

18 successful with that RACP grant to get that

19 section -- the second phase of the pool done.

20 That's all I have. Thank you.

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

22 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

23 comments?

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few.

25 I'll start by some additions to what was just
 49

 1 stated. I'm very happy to see that the City

 2 Engineer put together a cost estimate for the

 3 Lookout. And I think it's a good route to take

 4 to find out if we can from the administration

 5 what is the plan, how we're going to move

 6 forward.

 7 As I've said in the past, some of

 8 the DPW stoneworkers said that they could do

 9 some of the work. But this is a WPA project.

10 And I believe that there should be some

11 historic grants out there if that's going to be

12 a route that we take. But if we could find out

13 if that's a possibility of a route we could

14 take.

15 And also, as Mr. King just stated,

16 the Phase 2 of the pool, it's great to see that

17 we're applying for this money. One of the

18 questions that did come up in caucus is what

19 additional -- what estimate and remaining costs

20 do we have for this project.

21 So if we could ask that question and

22 I just want to remind everybody that when the

23 design came in front of Council, this body here

24 wanted to make sure that there was a lap pool

25 in that design. And this Council here did get
 50

 1 that incorporated into this design. And it is

 2 this body that added that to Nay Aug.

 3 On top of that, some questions came

 4 up I had them on my list, but they also came up

 5 in public comment tonight. Can we find out

 6 where we're at with the Parks Director, the DPW

 7 Director and the Refuse Coordinator as well as

 8 when the next meeting will be with DPW to

 9 discuss their CBA and negotiate that?

10 And a question did come ]up about

11 who is in charge if the Mayor is out of town.

12 Can we also find out who makes decisions if the

13 Mayor isn't here to make those decisions as

14 well?

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. A couple

17 of residents we -- I've sent in -- I believe,

18 Frank, you got. I have the 10 hundred block

19 Tripp Place. There's rows of locust trees that

20 are pulling up the sidewalk. It was something

21 I sent in quite a while ago.

22 But I did speak to those neighbors

23 again. The trees are still damaging the

24 sidewalks. The root structures are underneath

25 the sidewalks and it's lifting up. I sent some
 51

 1 pictures over and if we could check up on that.

 2 And then similar to that on the 900

 3 block of Crown Avenue, so Crown Avenue and

 4 Beech Street, when I did go onto Google maps,

 5 the tree is still in Google maps. It was a

 6 silver maple tree that was on the corner. The

 7 root structure is underneath the sidewalks. It

 8 is in the city's right of way and the roots are

 9 going into the water basin.

10 Since the Google map image, the tree

11 has been cut down but the stump remains. And

12 recently, we've done a contract with a tree

13 removal service which did include stump

14 removal. So if we could just check up on that

15 to see if the city plans on removing those

16 stumps.

17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

19 Another address I sent in was 323 South Webster

20 Avenue. I requested that code enforcement go

21 out. There is some construction that's taking

22 place on the rear stairs. Some rear stairs

23 were built on the home. The home does seem to

24 be structurally buckling where some of the

25 windows are cracked, but if we could just get
 52

 1 code enforcement out to 323 South Webster

 2 Avenue.

 3 And another request that we got was

 4 the intersection of North Main Avenue and

 5 Clearview Street in North Scranton. We did

 6 pass legislation about no parking zones in the

 7 area but not on Clearview street. But there is

 8 a lot of car congestion in there from the used

 9 car dealerships that in there.

10 And some concerns were raised about

11 traffic coming in and also Neil Armstrong

12 School which is in that area and comes down

13 Clearview street.

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's an ongoing

15 issue. I'll follow up.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. We did

17 get an update from Don King and Steve Teaman on

18 Parallel Drive, there was a stop work order.

19 And they do have a hearing with the magistrate

20 in October.

21 And as we were sitting here I had

22 another one for West Market Street. The light

23 on Noone's Market shines into the home across

24 the street. Mr. King did follow up and state

25 that he did take a visit today.
 53

 1 And they got them to turn the light

 2 or to block the light. And the owner is saying

 3 that they are going to insure that's happening.

 4 He said he'll give it a couple days and take a

 5 stop by again. So we could follow up on that.

 6 But he did give an update as we were sitting

 7 here.

 8 Other than that, Mr. Voldenberg, I

 9 would like to thank you and Alison for getting

10 out those handicap requests. And that's all I

11 have for this evening.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: You're welcome.

13 Thank you.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster

15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

16 comments?

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, thank you.

18 First, just a couple of responses I received

19 from last week. I know we've been asking a lot

20 about the curb cut on Colfax and Olive over in

21 the Hill Section. And we were told that the

22 project will be placed out for bid as part of a

23 package of projects this month.

24 So it's good that it's being placed

25 out for bid and so the process is rolling and
 54

 1 moving along. I'm hoping it could be done

 2 before -- before the wintertime. So I'll

 3 continue to request updates about it.

 4 And then second, there was a

 5 question from someone -- I don't know that it

 6 was last week, but recently regarding the Code

 7 Blue Shelters and why the temperature can't be

 8 increased for the threshold of the shelter to

 9 be opened where it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit as

10 of now which seems awfully low.

11 I wouldn't want to be sleeping

12 outside in 25 degree weather, 32 degree

13 weather. But the city responded that they

14 parallel the county's protocols and thresholds

15 along with many other counties in the

16 Commonwealth and that, you know, if there is

17 any other information out there that they can

18 verify and validate with the County Emergency

19 Management Director and officials at PEMA, then

20 they're happy to do so.

21 And regarding the Lookout which has

22 been part of our discussion tonight, I'm glad

23 that the engineer had gotten out there and gave

24 us the estimate. I'm not happy with the amount

25 being over $300,000. That's a little bit of a
 55

 1 sticker shock.

 2 But seeing the work that would be

 3 put into it, I think would be worth it for the

 4 city because it really is a great spot. And I

 5 think that, like, the destruction and vandalism

 6 and things that have been taken place over the

 7 years at that spot could be resolved, not just

 8 by replacing some of those stones, but then

 9 some of the other things included in this

10 estimate like the lighting, like the camera

11 system.

12 So all of that does take money. And

13 the damage to the stone wall is a lot more

14 extensive than what we had in mind with just

15 some stones being replaced. So a large bulk of

16 that is part of that repair.

17 And I had received an e-mail

18 regarding the intersection of Prescott Avenue

19 and Mulberry Street. So the storm drains are

20 frequently clogged over there. And there is

21 often flooding at that intersection when we do

22 get a lot of rain. So they are asking if those

23 drains could be cleared and maintained

24 regularly since that's a -- that's a known

25 problem area. So if we could forward that to
 56

 1 DPW, please.

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And one

 4 other note, I just want to thank Mr. Pilger and

 5 commend his efforts for the cleanups that he's

 6 been doing in South Side along with the South

 7 Side neighbors. I think it's a great, like,

 8 incentive that they have with the gift card and

 9 having some competition.

10 So I really like that idea and I

11 hope some other neighborhoods will take note.

12 But thank you for what you've been doing to

13 help clean up and then explaining tonight what

14 tools and things you utilize to clean up to

15 help encourage other residents to do the same.

16 Thank you.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

18 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

19 motions or comments?

20 MR. MCANDREW: I got a couple. So I

21 too am happy to see this Lookout renovation

22 project cost estimate. I've been harping about

23 this for like over two years. My concern or --

24 of course, I want to know how it's going to be

25 funded, when it's going to be funded.
 57

 1 I mean, and, you know, when does

 2 this become a reality so we could finally put

 3 this project in place and be done with it

 4 because a lot of people come and speak about

 5 it. So I'm glad to see it. But I'd like some

 6 more information as to when and how it's going

 7 to be funded.

 8 So last week I brought up a

 9 situation or it was an issue that was brought

10 to my attention with, you know, one of the

11 newly painted crosswalks were dug up by a

12 utility company. And I just wanted to, you

13 know, clarification as to if, you know, that

14 was the original thought process when they put

15 all of these out, which was, you know, there's

16 400 of them.

17 So when it's a utility -- so I did

18 get some information. I'm glad -- I want to

19 reshare it out to the public that Pennsylvania

20 American Water -- and this is regarding the

21 North Webster and East Gibson Street crosswalk

22 that was, you know, affected -- will be

23 replaced with an overlay to the PAWC

24 Waterwork's schedule to take place in October.

25 On a side note, OECD monitors PA One
 58

 1 Call for dig scheduled by all utilities and

 2 ensures proper permitting with the city takes

 3 place along with the follow up of requirements

 4 that does include restoring within 30 days of

 5 work completion.

 6 And this restoration includes

 7 crosswalks and road markings. All right. So

 8 I'm glad to hear that's the case. But I'm also

 9 glad and rely on the eyes of our residents to

10 bring these to our attention. And I thank them

11 and knowing this now, you know, this is

12 probably going to happen more than this one

13 episode.

14 I heard there's more. But I don't

15 know exactly where they are. Don't be afraid

16 to reach out to us or 311 to help us remind

17 everybody involved that, you know, whose

18 responsibility it is and these get corrected.

19 So thank you again.

20 After asking a couple times about a

21 study for the -- traffic study for the Wright

22 Center because of the, you know, the traffic

23 trailer -- the tractor-trailers that were

24 impeding driveway traffic to and from the

25 facility.
 59

 1 So we did get back that Reilly and

 2 Associates, our City Engineer will recommend no

 3 parking on the east side of South Washington

 4 Avenue from Birch Street to Hickory Street to

 5 provide for adequate sight distance at the

 6 Wright Center driveways at Birch Street

 7 intersection and Hickory Street intersection

 8 and keep the trucks from parking on the bridge.

 9 So we're going to get some actual

10 legislation forth coming to take care of that.

11 Also, the issue with Porta Potty that was in

12 stagnant water which is very dangerous. And

13 that was part of the issue that Mr. Coyne

14 brought up last week.

15 I know some of that was rectified,

16 which is great on McDonough and up in that

17 area. So the response I got is the Parks

18 Department requested that the Porta Potty

19 vendor inspect the equipment. So, you know,

20 they -- obviously they have to move it.

21 And that's fair enough. What else

22 do I have? I think that's actually -- that's

23 it. Thank you very much.

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

25 First, I want to thank Mr. Pilger for cleaning
 60

 1 up South Side and your hundreds of pounds of

 2 garbage that you have picked up. I know I have

 3 seen you out at night and that concerns me a

 4 bit.

 5 So your reflective clothing and gear

 6 and stuff is great, but maybe stay into the

 7 lower traffic streets at night. Pittston

 8 Avenue, it's hard to see and traffic is really,

 9 really quick there. But thank you for

10 everything you've done and keep it up.

11 The other first Friday we had this

12 week. Everyone that came into City Hall got to

13 go through the entire inside, all the new stain

14 glass, the carpet, the building is cleaned up.

15 And it actually is buttoned up tight now. No

16 more leaks.

17 And that is finally, finally

18 finished. I think this building has been

19 leaking for 20 years. But it is all sealed up.

20 And that brings me to the slate pieces from the

21 roof. We do have pieces of slate from the roof

22 that are available.

23 And the city put a tag on them and

24 it explains what it's from. So if anybody

25 would like one of those, you could come and
 61

 1 pick it up because I don't think we could mail

 2 it. But you could contact Mr. Voldenberg at

 3 Council -- City Council office on our website.

 4 And anybody is welcome to them. We have a

 5 bunch of them. So just call ahead, make sure

 6 we have it ready and then you could come and

 7 pick it up.

 8 And also, we mentioned the lights at

 9 Nay Aug Park. And last year we paid to have it

10 done. And this year, the city is back to

11 putting them up. Parks and Recs employees will

12 be putting those back up this year. And I

13 believe Mr. Gattens, I spoke with him this

14 morning.

15 He still wants to put some of the

16 lights up outside and have some of the

17 neighborhood groups, some of the boy scouts,

18 girl scouts that used to come and put these

19 all -- change the bulbs and do all that. He

20 wants to do that again.

21 I'm assuming that that would be

22 announced up at -- up at the park. Norma will

23 probably be announcing it. Right, Norma? And

24 next week our public caucus, you want to know

25 about all the traffic studies and all of that,
 62

 1 the city will be here to discuss all of that.

 2 So maybe come and if you have any

 3 questions -- Mr. Voldenberg, if they send

 4 questions, will you get them to Council so that

 5 we will have what they want to know before --

 6 because they could not interact while the city

 7 is here giving their report.

 8 So maybe if we have their questions

 9 ahead of time we could use that and get some of

10 their questions answered also.

11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all.

13 Fifth Order.

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

15 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE

16 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO

17 APPLY FOR AND EXECUTE A GRANT FOR THE

18 REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE CAPITAL PROGRAM (RACP)

19 THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S

20 OFFICE OF THE BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT SIX HUNDRED

21 THIRTY TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE

22 ($632,329.00) DOLLARS; ACCEPTING AND DISBURSING

23 THE GRANT IF THE APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL; AND

24 COORDINATE THE USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS FOR THE

25 LACKAWANNA AVENUE STREETSCAPE PROJECT.
 63

 1 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

 2 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced

 3 into its proper committee.

 4 MR. KING: So moved.

 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

 6 MR. SMURL: On the question?

 7 MR. MCANDREW: On the question, I'm

 8 sorry, so on the question, Solicitor Gilbride,

 9 this legislation that is up for a vote or

10 introduction, whatever, is only to authorize

11 for the city to apply for the RACP for the

12 referenced project or am I voting in favor of

13 the project as a whole also?

14 ATTY. GILBRIDE: This particular

15 legislation is approving Council's approval of

16 applying for the application for the monies to

17 be used for the project.

18 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. So my

19 understanding is the project itself will come

20 before us separately.

21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That would be my

22 understanding as well.

23 MR. MCANDREW: Can we -- well, I

24 think we could clarify that by next week

25 because they are coming in because I have a lot
 64

 1 of questions. I'm still not in favor of

 2 switching streetlights with a stop sign. I

 3 can't wrap my head around it. So I'll have

 4 them questions.

 5 But I just want to clarify that I'm

 6 not voting for the project just, you know, the

 7 funding of the overall project.

 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: This is -- this

 9 legislation is to apply for and execute a grant

10 for RACP funds.

11 MR. MCANDREW: I just wanted to

12 clarify. Thank you. Thank you.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: So in addition to

14 that, and it's a question for you as well,

15 Mr. Gilbride, and you may know the answer.

16 Back in the beginning of September we applied

17 for a multimodal grant in the amount of

18 $1,264,658 for this Lackawanna Avenue -- it was

19 titled bike project at that point in time.

20 Here on our agenda we had the

21 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project which is

22 a match fund of $632,329 which ends up

23 equalling $1,264,658. So this is a duplicate

24 of that multimodal grant, right? This is

25 looking for -- this is putting out multiple
 65

 1 grants for the same project; is that correct?

 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I wouldn't -- I

 3 don't know the answer to that question.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay.

 5 MR. KING: 50 percent match. I

 6 could be wrong.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Correct. So we put

 8 out a multimodal for this -- for that 1.2

 9 million at the beginning of the month. And now

10 we're putting in this which is a match. So,

11 yes, this grant is a match fund. But it is

12 same amount.

13 The projects -- this one is called

14 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project.

15 However, the last one was called the bike

16 project. It's the same amount of money for the

17 same -- I believe the same project. When we

18 ask questions about streetlights at the

19 beginning of the month, what was stated was

20 that they were not street -- they were not

21 traffic lights.

22 But they were streetlights that were

23 going to be replaced on Lackawanna Avenue.

24 However, this document here does have traffic

25 lights in it, looks like at least 15 locations
 66

 1 in the city.

 2 I'll move it forward tonight. But

 3 we'll hear from the administration on this.

 4 But this is just for the city to go out for the

 5 grant funding for the project.

 6 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Correct.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I just

 8 wanted to make that stated.

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

10 Anyone else? All those in favor of

11 introduction signify by saying aye.

12 MR. KING: Aye.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

15 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

16 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

17 have it and so moved.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR

19 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE

20 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO

21 APPLY FOR AND EXECUTE A GRANT FOR THE

22 REDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE CAPITAL PROGRAM (RACP)

23 THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S

24 OFFICE OF THE BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF TWO

25 MILLION SEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED THIRTY
 67

 1 EIGHT ($2,007,938.00) DOLLARS; ACCEPTING AND

 2 DISBURSING THE GRANT IF THE APPLICATION IS

 3 SUCCESSFUL; AND COORDINATE THE USE OF THE GRANT

 4 FUNDS FOR THE NAY AUG WATERWAY - PHASE 2.

 5 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

 6 entertain a motion that Item 5-C be introduced

 7 into its proper committee.

 8 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

10 MR. SMURL: On the question?

11 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question,

12 Mr. Voldenberg, you're going to get us that

13 estimated remaining cost on this project. And

14 again, just to make it stated, this body here

15 was who added the deeper lap pool into the

16 design at Nay Aug. We were all in agreement

17 with that.

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

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, we

20 did have this discussion in caucus and I had

21 brought up a couple of those questions like

22 asking for what the remaining cost is of the

23 project.

24 I've encountered some residents and

25 people who frequent Nay Aug and wanted updates
 68

 1 on it having seen the completion of Phase 1 but

 2 wanting to know the status of Phase 2. So if

 3 we could get any additional information on

 4 where we stand with Phase 2, hopefully they're

 5 successful in getting this grant.

 6 There's the 50 percent match in it.

 7 And then we'll have it funded and would like to

 8 know the estimate of when it would also begin

 9 and be underway. And I also want to echo that

10 Council will make sure that this Phase 2 is

11 completed and that there is a lap pool.

12 I know because of Phase 1 being done

13 and not seeing the lap pool there, people

14 wondered if it would be happening or not. But

15 we will do everything to make sure that it does

16 happen. Thank you.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

18 Rothchild. All those in favor of introduction

19 signify by saying aye.

20 MR. KING: Aye.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

23 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

24 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

25 have it and so moved.

17 MR. KING: Second.

18 MR. SMURL: On the question?

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I

20 just want to make note of it. I didn't hear

21 anyone else mention it. But we did receive

22 some more information from HARB or from the

23 Solicitor or HARB.

24 There were some concerns last week

25 about the validity of the vote because of
 72

 1 the -- if there was a quorum or not,

 2 essentially for their meeting. And they said

 3 that there was and that there were five members

 4 currently sitting on the HARB and three of them

 5 were present which is over the -- which is the

 6 50 percent needed.

 7 MR. SMURL: Yes.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: So I just wanted to

 9 make note of that. I also wanted to mention

10 that in regards to this, I'm going to vote yes

11 to uphold the HARB's decision. I think that

12 by if we weren't to and we were to allow more

13 of the digital billboards, it would be a

14 slippery slope and that more and more people

15 would be seeking digital billboards downtown.

16 And I'd hate to see it become

17 basically a place where there are a lot of

18 those. And I believe in maintaining the

19 historical nature of our downtown. And we had

20 received as well that the one that they

21 mentioned at Boccardo's Jewelers, that

22 billboard, that's been there over 20 years.

23 And that was prior to the

24 designation for that being a historic section,

25 so that being why they have one and HARB had
 73

 1 denied this location from having one. So

 2 that's all I have. Thank you.

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

 4 Rothchild.

 5 MR. KING: On the question, I think

 6 Attorney Gilbride answered my question during

 7 caucus. There is an ordinance designating that

 8 section of the city as historical section of

 9 the city, which prohibits having electronic

10 billboards.

11 True, there are certain sections of

12 the city where some digital billboards exist.

13 But they were grandfathered in prior to that --

14 those areas being designated as historical. So

15 that's why I'll be voting in favor of upholding

16 the HARB's decision tonight.

17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President, can

18 I just clear something up? I don't want

19 anybody making any decision based on

20 information that may not be completely correct.

21 Mr. King, when we spoke, there is an

22 ordinance that covers HARB and designates it in

23 sections that are historic sections to offer

24 advice in regard to what should be allowed or

25 not allowed within the areas.
 74

 1 Under HARB's continual rulings, the

 2 downtown is a historic district. Under their

 3 continued rulings they had found that that

 4 section, LED lights do not fit in with the

 5 designation under the legislation establishes

 6 HARB. That's the recommendation they've made

 7 to this Council.

 8 And that has been followed by this

 9 Council in every vote. At least as long as I'm

10 here, I haven't seen any otherwise. So just so

11 you understand the ordinance establishes HARB.

12 HARB makes recommendations to this Council.

13 Council then votes on whether or not to approve

14 the certificate of appropriateness.

15 In all cases today with regard to

16 the LED lights, this Council has voted

17 unanimously not to allow them in the historic

18 district downtown.

19 MR. KING: Thank you.

20 MR. SMURL: All right. Roll call,

21 please.

22 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King.

23 MR. KING: Yes.

24 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.
 75

 1 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild.

 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.

 3 MS. CARRERA: Mr. McAndrew.

 4 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.

 5 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Smurl.

 6 MR. SMURL: Yes. I hereby declare

 7 Item 7-C legally and lawfully adopted.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: Eighth Order. 8-A.

 9 Resolution No. 264, 2025.

10 MR. SMURL: This resolution was

11 taken from the table this evening and placed in

12 Seventh Order for a final vote.

13 If there's no further business, I'll

14 entertain a motion to adjourn.

15 MR. MCANDREW: Motion to adjourn.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. This meeting

17 is adjourned.
