14 MR. SCHUSTER: Present.

15 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Here.

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

23 3-A. OVERTIME REPORT FOR ALL

24 DEPARTMENTS FOR AUGUST 2025, AS PROVIDED BY

25 CITY CONTROLLER, RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 2, 2025.
 4

 1 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

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

 3 received and filed. Do any Council members

 4 have any announcements at this time?

 5 MR. MCANDREW: I have two quick

 6 ones. So coming up in October 4th, the annual

 7 Green Ridge Fall Festival. It's Saturday,

 8 October 4th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. And I have

 9 another one, it's going to be Scranton -- the

10 DPW Public Works again once again are going to

11 have their Touch a Truck event up Nay Aug.

12 It's a great event. I have been up

13 there with my grandkids. It's a great time.

14 It's going to be September 27th. And it will

15 be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., again at Nay Aug Park.

16 And that's all I have. Thanks.

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

18 Anyone else?

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a couple.

20 First, Miss Jeffries said that she might not be

21 able to make it tonight. And she asked if I

22 could mention that food drive that she was

23 discussing last week is going to be cancelled

24 just because there's another organization that

25 is having a food drive that day.
 5

 1 So it's not needed for them to have

 2 one as well. She didn't provide me with

 3 additional information. So I can't say which

 4 one it is. But that's great that so many

 5 people are interested in gathering food for

 6 those in need.

 7 And a couple of other announcements

 8 I had last week I did mention this one. But

 9 Miss Connors asked me to bring it up until the

10 event, so I'm happy to do that. Jim Connors

11 Day is going to be held Saturday, September

12 20th at the park where the bandstand is.

13 That's going to be from 1 to 6 p.m.

14 Not only will there be a lot of

15 music, but there will be a lot of family fun

16 activities as well. And there's a lot of

17 things happening that Saturday, September 20th.

18 UNC is also having their annual welcoming

19 Scranton event.

20 And that's going to be at their

21 headquarters over on 526 Cedar Avenue. And

22 that's from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. And then the

23 Needs Community is having a festival and

24 celebration at Nay Aug that day. It's going to

25 be on the other side of the park across from
 6

 1 where the hospital is.

 2 And that will be Saturday from 10

 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. So that's -- that's all that I

 4 have. Thank you.

 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

 6 Rothchild. Anyone else?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 8 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

 9 MR. SMURL: First on our list, Joan

10 Hodowanitz.

11 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

12 Scranton. First, just remind everybody that

13 this week at the Steamtown Mall, second floor,

14 the library is having another book sale. So

15 please go and get yourself some bargains. We

16 have something like 2000 music CDs, so a lot of

17 bargains to be had. DPW, do we have a new

18 director yet?

19 MR. SMURL: No, we do not.

20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Do we have any hope

21 of getting a new director?

22 MR. SMURL: They advertised for it.

23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okey-dokey. How

24 about collective bargaining agreement?

25 MR. SMURL: I asked yesterday. The
 7

 1 city provided -- had provided three dates, but

 2 the DPW's attorney evidently wasn't for those.

 3 So they are working on three other dates.

 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: We're coming up on

 5 nine months. You do realize that's how long it

 6 takes to have a baby, but that's neither here

 7 nor there. How about the 2024 audit?

 8 MR. SMURL: We should have it

 9 shortly. Everything is on schedule.

10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. I'll hold

11 you to that. Item 5-C, authorizing entry level

12 employment in the police department without

13 competition under certain conditions affecting

14 public safety.

15 I had to read this several times

16 because, you know, I'm not really familiar with

17 a lot of police recruitment and Civil Service

18 Commissions. But my first question is, what

19 does the Civil Service Commission think of this

20 ordinance?

21 MR. SMURL: That, I haven't spoken

22 with them.

23 MS. HODOWANITZ: I think it would be

24 a good thing to ask them their opinion. Do we

25 know what the current staffing levels are in
 8

 1 the police department? I know that the whole

 2 country is facing recruitment challenges. But

 3 I would like to see some specific numbers

 4 because I ask this every year during budget

 5 meetings.

 6 MR. SMURL: Do you want the exact

 7 numbers now?

 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: If you have them.

 9 MR. SMURL: Scranton Police

10 Department has a total staff of 167 employees

11 which include 147 full-time sworn-in officers

12 and 20 non civilian personnel.

13 MS. HODOWANITZ: What is the

14 shortage number?

15 MR. SMURL: I believe it's 20.

16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Only 20? Okay,

17 what is the authorized number currently? How

18 many are they authorized to have, 167?

19 MR. SMURL: That is their total

20 staff is 167.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: No, I want to know

22 what is the authorized number.

23 MR. SMURL: I believe that just

24 changed. What was the total officers?

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, for next week
 9

 1 your homework is what is the authorized number

 2 and how many are we short, and are those entry

 3 level positions and what is driving any

 4 shortage problems like, you know, excessive

 5 retirements, whatever.

 6 Recruitment problems, one of the

 7 problems I had with this -- this ordinance, the

 8 Civil Service Commission was established back

 9 in the 19th century to eliminate the patronage

10 system. You remember to the victor belongs the

11 spoils after an election?

12 Well, they created the Civil Service

13 Commission so that people would be hired under

14 merit based qualifications. They would take an

15 examination based on the scores they made.

16 They would be listed under certain order.

17 Reading through this backup, you're not going

18 to have that examination and process because it

19 takes too long according to this document.

20 So they are going to look at things

21 like lateral transfers from other

22 municipalities of certified police officers.

23 And as far as that goes, that may be fine. But

24 then the Civil Service Commission's got to

25 establish this alternate eligibility list,
 10

 1 okay, and list their officers in random order.

 2 And then the Chief of Police, if

 3 need be, gets to select who he thinks is the

 4 best qualified and most needed. And that can

 5 be fine, you know, we have a good Police Chief.

 6 But I don't see the guardrails in this system

 7 because this system -- I think can easily be

 8 abused, not that Scranton has a history of

 9 corruption mind you, okay.

10 But, you know, this thing deserves a

11 whole lot of discussion so that it doesn't

12 develop into a Frankenstein monster down the

13 road or lead to a lot of litigation from people

14 who are not selected. Thank you.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Next,

16 Angela Ramone.

17 MS. RAMONE: It's good to see

18 everybody again. I know I've been away for a

19 little bit. I'm here today to talk about some

20 of the agenda items primarily pertaining to the

21 grants that the City of Scranton wants to

22 pursue for various projects including

23 Lackawanna Avenue and Capouse.

24 And I just want to talk a little bit

25 about the project for some of the audience and
 11

 1 the City Council to make sure that some more

 2 important aspects of these proposals are

 3 emphasized.

 4 In particular with Capouse Avenue,

 5 some of the grant money that's being sought out

 6 would help with improvements of West Olive

 7 Street and Capouse Avenue. I'm not sure how

 8 familiar you all are with that intersection.

 9 But it is near Scranton High.

10 And many kids who walk to school who

11 live in Green Ridge and live in the Hill

12 Section go through that intersection, walk

13 under those bridges to get to school every day.

14 And for years it's been an incredibly dangerous

15 hazard, very narrow sidewalks with no actual

16 protection for pedestrians and a road that

17 constantly floods and the sidewalks themselves

18 are not maintained, so they are often overgrown

19 with weeds and other grasses.

20 And it's not cheap to make the

21 improvements that are needed for this. And

22 we're talking about an area where there are two

23 different bridges the trains run over that we

24 need to be accommodated for when making any

25 changes to the streetscape.
 12

 1 The city is not made of money

 2 obviously. And when we're talking about grant

 3 proposals, it's essentially throwing our hat in

 4 the ring to potentially get free money to help

 5 improve conditions in our city. So I would

 6 like to say especially in particular for

 7 Capouse Avenue, I cannot overstate my support

 8 in pursuing grant money for the streetscape

 9 project.

10 But also for other bids that the

11 city would like to pursue for grant money for

12 Lackawanna Avenue, especially, I'm not sure how

13 many of you have like walked downtown

14 frequently. I, myself, I walk and talk the bus

15 just about everywhere I go. I'm downtown all

16 the time.

17 And Lackawanna Avenue is a place

18 that myself and many other pedestrians try to

19 avoid at all costs. It's an incredibly wide

20 road that encourages drivers to go quick. And

21 crossing -- crossing the road takes an eternity

22 every single time.

23 It feels like you're playing

24 frogger, essentially. And the grant money

25 that's being pursued for this is not just for
 13

 1 improvements to the sidewalks and crosswalks.

 2 It's also to help improve and create

 3 infrastructure for cyclists. And we've seen

 4 many more of them in recent years in our

 5 downtown area with little to no infrastructure

 6 to actually make safe for them to come here.

 7 And also, another thing I didn't see

 8 on the agenda but some of that grant money

 9 would also go towards stormwater improvements

10 on Lackawanna Avenue which I know that the city

11 has been prioritizing for quite some time now

12 trying to get our stormwater up to the 21st

13 century.

14 So again, I would like to say for

15 all of these various grants that the city is

16 asking to pursue, I think it would be in the

17 best interest of the city, of its residents and

18 of its visitors to throw our hat in the ring at

19 getting these grants and potentially making

20 massive improvements to the streets of our

21 city. Thank you for your time.

22 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les

23 Spindler.

24 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

25 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,
 14

 1 homeowner. Any update on the hole on Dorothy

 2 Street that I have been talking about for

 3 months? Has Council done anything on that

 4 situation?

 5 MR. SMURL: Mr. Voldenberg, have you

 6 gotten anything back from the administration?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did reach out to

 8 DPW again and they're going to advise us back

 9 on the next steps.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

11 MR. SPINDLER: Well, it has to be

12 done. The city has to put pressure on the

13 water company. It's their problem. They

14 denied it, but it's their problem. I saw them

15 digging it up the one day a couple years ago.

16 They're the ones that are causing that problem

17 and they should be taking care of it. And

18 Council has to put pressure on them.

19 Did anybody look into what I spoke

20 about last week about the city inspector

21 driving around in Dunmore? Why was a city

22 inspector car driving around in Dunmore?

23 Crickets.

24 Moving on, last night on Channel 16

25 there was a story about Shamokin having the
 15

 1 same problem we have with the ATVs and other

 2 unlicensed vehicles on the roads. They're

 3 trying to do something. They're trying to --

 4 they want to talk to the people doing this

 5 stuff and see if they could work out a

 6 solution.

 7 If not, they are going to fine them

 8 and/or confiscate their vehicles. At least

 9 they're trying to doing something. This City

10 is doing nothing. I come here week after week

11 after week told you about examples of how

12 serious this is.

13 They're doing it because it's a

14 safety issue. And it's a safety issue here

15 like the story I told last week about the one

16 coming down right on Main Avenue coming right

17 at my car. If I couldn't move, my car would

18 have been damaged. But that driver probably

19 would have been dead, which might not have been

20 a bad thing.

21 And I spoke to the police officer

22 here last week and asked them what their policy

23 is. Their policy is they cannot chase these

24 ATVs because they're afraid of a lawsuit

25 against them.
 16

 1 I think Council should write a

 2 letter to Senator Marty Flynn asking him to

 3 look at legislation and see if we could get a

 4 bill passed that will take the responsibility

 5 away from the police officers if they chase an

 6 ATV and somebody is injured or killed because

 7 that's their fault.

 8 They shouldn't be on the streets.

 9 It's a safety issue. It's out of control.

10 They go by my house all of the time and it just

11 ridiculous. The city has to do something about

12 it. So I hope you get off your hands and

13 instead of sitting on your hands and do

14 something about this problem and write a letter

15 to Marty Flynn and see if he'll do something

16 about it. Marty is a good man. That's all I

17 have. Thank you for your time.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

19 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, Council. I see

20 you didn't charge me for my long walk from the

21 back to here. Well, I assume nobody wishes to

22 find a worst Mayor that we got because I didn't

23 hear of one.

24 Last week when I protested the

25 misuse of our tax dollars all going downtown
 17

 1 for the Mayor's corporate welfare program, I

 2 was walking on North Main Sunday with my dog.

 3 From -- almost from Market Street to the Toyota

 4 dealer, half the sidewalks are gone or just --

 5 you can't use them. You can't ride a bicycle

 6 or anything on them.

 7 Now, these little electric bikes are

 8 in the street. This kid's about five years old

 9 riding around. A little girl stopped a couple

10 weeks ago to play with my dog. I don't know,

11 she's on a scooter. There's two of them go by

12 the house, one got a seat on it. They ride in

13 the street like a vehicle.

14 Anyway, I guess she was like five,

15 six years old. Sunday, a little kid coming

16 towards me on a smaller electric bike, he had

17 to be going 50, went right through the

18 stoplight at Parker Street. You know, if he

19 hit somebody walking or crossing, the place is

20 full of kids. There's no insurance.

21 If they get hit on the school

22 grounds, the city is going to be responsible

23 for a victim. And you people don't do a thing

24 about all of the EVs. If you have to have a

25 license on a small scooter like I did on my
 18

 1 Vespa, these machines either be licensed or

 2 else they don't belong on sidewalks and they

 3 don't belong in the street. They are not

 4 supposed to be transportation to and from jobs.

 5 But that's how it's turned into.

 6 And when I was sitting there trying

 7 to have a cocktail during the week, the Mayor

 8 running for another term come up. I don't know

 9 how this obstructionist wants the people in

10 this city want four more years. And it looks

11 like that's what we'll get.

12 You know, people stand here every

13 week talking and so forth. You people just

14 have forgotten about the population of this

15 city. You just don't do nothing for us. Why

16 can't you -- you gave this greedy bunch of

17 investors 2 million dollars in tax money.

18 Why can't people with a placard or

19 handicap plate park free downtown? There's not

20 a reason in the world. They try to milk the

21 last dollar out of handicap people because I

22 happen to talk to one that got a ticket because

23 they didn't know how to use the machine right

24 or something.

25 You're not helping the city. The
 19

 1 parking situation isn't helping downtown.

 2 There's people don't come because you have to

 3 go to 7:00 now. I don't know. I just hope the

 4 people of this city don't vote for a failure

 5 which it seems like that's where we're going.

 6 If I knew a few months ago no one --

 7 there wasn't no competition for Miss Cognetti,

 8 I would have thrown my hat in the ring because

 9 I have access to the funding. This is

10 ridiculous. I went down last week going to the

11 Wal-Mart, Tish got a little girl waiving her

12 hands in front of a card table as her --

13 beginning of her running. This is terrible.

14 This whole thing is just turned out to a joke.

15 Thank you.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan.

17 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council.

18 You know, in regards to the Mayor, you think

19 that the Republican candidate would challenge

20 her candidacy on the fact that she doesn't live

21 in the city and would hire a private

22 investigator to determine where she actually

23 lives and then challenge her placement on the

24 ballot and remove her.

25 Okay, so that's where I think we are
 20

 1 on that. I just like to say that my case in

 2 federal court against ECTV and the city is

 3 proceeding forward. And ECTV admits that they

 4 take money from the county and the city.

 5 So I don't think there's going to be

 6 any summary judgment against me at this point

 7 because I don't know how they could possibly do

 8 that. But like I said, I'm only a truck

 9 driver. I only read law and do what I can.

10 But you know I had to do a letter brief to the

11 judge and explain to him that in Manhattan

12 versus Haddox, Justice Kavanaugh said that that

13 wasn't a blanket rule.

14 So he couldn't use that in this case

15 in regards ECTV and myself because the city and

16 the county are -- they're not parties in the

17 litigation at this point. Like I told you

18 before, I dropped them because it benefitted

19 me. But, you know, I had to do a brief in

20 support of my motion to compel because Attorney

21 Hinton and ECTV don't want to answer questions.

22 And the first 25 questions that I

23 gave them, they made dog meat out of them and

24 didn't really want to respond. And the judge

25 was upset with me because I told him that
 21

 1 Attorney Hinton was an officer of the Court and

 2 he didn't answer my questions properly.

 3 And then I had to turn around and

 4 file a motion to compel with my second group of

 5 interrogatories. And you know what I find

 6 extremely troubling is that you're a

 7 legislative body. And we don't seem to be

 8 legislating anything of any value and how the

 9 Council allowed ECTV to become a government

10 channel which in the end it's not going to be

11 one, but to make a citizen my like myself go to

12 federal court and argue this point is

13 absolutely ridiculous because when you read

14 what the Congress and Senate did when they

15 created the public access channels, it was to

16 give residents a voice.

17 But the people that are so anti free

18 speech are all Democrats. And they've just

19 committed such heinous crimes against the

20 residents of our country. I mean, look at the

21 poor lady that was stabbed to death in the

22 North Carolina and the list goes on and on and

23 on of all of the illegals that crossed the

24 border killing people and robbing people and

25 destabilizing our country.
 22

 1 This is all Democrats that did this

 2 to us. There were no Republicans. And, I

 3 mean, when you look at where we are now, our

 4 water bills, our sewer bills, all the

 5 government, you know, I'm getting ready to file

 6 against the reassessment because that thing is

 7 just beyond cooked.

 8 I don't see how that thing could be

 9 legal at all because none of it's legal. The

10 problem is, there is no group of citizens.

11 And when someone tells me they're a Democrat I

12 look at them and ask them why. They don't have

13 an answer why.

14 They can't tell you why they're a

15 Democrat. Why would anybody support the things

16 that the Democrats have done to our country.

17 It's just, like, the grant money. The grant

18 money, we need to stop spending grant money.

19 And we need to invite people in to have

20 discussions, real open discussions on what this

21 grant money is for and where it's going and

22 what it's going to accomplish.

23 I think the federal government needs

24 to end all the grant money because we just

25 wasted tons of it. And we have nothing of any
 23

 1 benefit to show the residents.

 2 I mean we -- I can't believe how

 3 either ignorant or stupid Democrats are, okay.

 4 Ignorant means you are not educated. But

 5 stupid means that facts don't matter. And I

 6 just think that this city has to realize that

 7 this Mayor should not be retained.

 8 I don't even see how she's on the

 9 ballot. If somebody doesn't challenge her

10 candidacy and hire a private detective and

11 prove that she doesn't live here, they

12 shouldn't be on the ballot either.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ezra

14 Zvirblis.

15 MR. ZVIRBLIS: So first I would like

16 to present a petition I made for this. So my

17 name is Ezra Zvirblis. With me is my sister

18 Addie Zvirblis.

19 MS. ZVIRBLIS: Hello.

20 MR. ZVIRBLIS: And we wanted to talk

21 about the benefits of keeping roosters in

22 suburban homes.

23 MR. SMURL: Ezra, move a little

24 closer to the microphone. There you go.

25 MR. ZVIRBLIS: Last week when we got
 24

 1 home from school we noticed a letter in the

 2 mail stating that there's an ordinance

 3 preventing us from keeping our pet roosters.

 4 Because of this, my sister went across the

 5 neighborhood collecting almost 100 signatures

 6 for a petition to change this ordinance.

 7 For this speech I want to provide

 8 the benefits of keeping roosters in hopes that

 9 you will allow us and future generations to

10 come a chance to keep these pets.

11 Roosters are more than just noisy

12 and aggressive birds. They are vigilant

13 guardians of their flock. With sharp eyes and

14 a protective instinct, they watch for predators

15 from hawks to neighborhood cats and sound the

16 alarm when something is wrong.

17 Their presence lowers stress among

18 hens who feel safer with a rooster nearby. A

19 protected flock, is a calm healthier flock.

20 Our particular breeds, the Americana and Easter

21 Eggers in particular are known for being less

22 aggressive and more manageable than other

23 breeds making them ideal for our family and

24 where safety and temperament matter.

25 Chickens love to scratch, peck, and
 25

 1 eat bugs, and roosters are no exception.

 2 Together with your hens they help control many

 3 different gardens pests from ticks to beetles.

 4 Their scratching also helps airate soil and

 5 their droppings contribute to rich organic

 6 compost.

 7 With a rooster as part of your

 8 flock, you're enhancing the natural cycle of

 9 your yard and garden improving both soil's

10 health and biodiversity. Suburban homesteading

11 is on the rise and roosters play a key role in

12 that by maintaining your own flock and

13 collecting your own eggs, you reduce your

14 environmental footprint.

15 Breeds like the Americana and Easter

16 Egger not only lay beautiful colorful eggs

17 while also thrive in small scales sustainable

18 setups. Raising chickens especially with a

19 rooster also teaches us more about how farm

20 animals are raised. It's a step away from

21 industrial food systems and a step toward

22 reconnecting with nature.

23 Roosters offer a unique learning

24 opportunity for children and adults alike.

25 Observing flock dynamics like the white rooster
 26

 1 breaks up fights between hens or calls the

 2 flock to food and water can be incredibly

 3 educational. Breeds like Easter Eggers and

 4 Americanas are known for their docile behavior

 5 making them great choices for families with

 6 kids who want hands-on learning experiences.

 7 I personally sometimes will invite

 8 friends to come and learn more about my

 9 roosters. Many backyard chicken keepers are

10 choosing to preserve heritage breeds or

11 maintain unique bloodlines. Roosters make that

12 possible. Americanas in particular are a

13 recognized breed with specific standards

14 including their icon muffs and beards.

15 Breeding them responsibly helps

16 preserve their genetic diversity and unique

17 traits, plus I can donate the eggs that are

18 laid to other neighbors who might want them.

19 Roosters are essential for natural flock

20 dynamics. They maintain order, protect hens

21 and even perform food calls and water calls to

22 care for the group.

23 A well-behaved Easter Egger rooster

24 contributes to a peaceful and operative flock.

25 The presence allows chickens to behave as they
 27

 1 would in nature, something many backyard

 2 keepers strive for. Yes, roosters crow. But

 3 that doesn't have to be a deal breaker. Some

 4 breeds including ours are quieter than others.

 5 Roosters can be trained to crow less

 6 frequently by keeping coops dark in the early

 7 morning. We tolerate dogs, ATVs, social clubs,

 8 fire trucks, the multiple nearby highways, the

 9 frequent helicopter and plane landings and the

10 constant sound of gardening tools. Roosters

11 deserve the same level of understanding. Thank

12 you.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Ezra and your

14 sister for coming.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

16 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, will you give

17 that to Attorney Gilbride and perhaps he could

18 review it and we'll figure out what we're going

19 to do after that. Thank you. That is all for

20 our sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to address

21 Council? Mr. Gilbride, if you'll review that

22 for us and perhaps next week give us an

23 opinion? Thank you.

24 MR. ARGENTA: That's a tough speech

25 to follow. Virgil Argenta, Scranton resident,
 28

 1 City Council candidate. I would like to

 2 present a proposal tonight to City Council to

 3 honor the sacrifice of two fallen city heros

 4 we're all familiar with, Officer John Wilding

 5 722 and Firefighter Steve Sunday.

 6 I would like to propose that we name

 7 our skate parks or a park after each of them.

 8 It would serve as a lasting tribute to the

 9 bravery and dedication to our community. We

10 have the skate park on Jackson Street. We also

11 have -- I don't know if it's a city hall or a

12 neighborhood center on Bromley and Jackson

13 Street that is available.

14 And we'll soon have the new skate

15 park at Weston Field. Officer John Wilding

16 gave his life in the line of duty and

17 Firefighter Steve Sunday made the ultimate

18 sacrifice while serving during the Covid

19 pandemic.

20 By naming these parks after these

21 two brave men would ensure their memories live

22 on and inspire future generations. I believe

23 this would be a fitting way to recognize their

24 contributions and show our appreciation for

25 their service to the City of Scranton and its
 29

 1 residents. I'd be happy to work in any way

 2 with the City Council and the city

 3 administration to make this proposal a reality.

 4 AI, not in our backyard. Artificial

 5 intelligence is growing nationwide and new AI

 6 data centers may affect our community.

 7 Council, will you be reviewing any current

 8 zoning laws to ensure they address noise,

 9 energy use and building codes for large scale

10 AI centers?

11 I urge the City Council to work with

12 relevant departments to confirm our regulations

13 are adequate so we're ready for the challenge

14 and opportunities these centers bring if it so

15 well happens they pick Scranton. These

16 facilities power essential tools every day but

17 also create challenges, including noise,

18 traffic, infrastructure strain, environmental

19 risk like air and water pollution.

20 Past decisions by this Council has

21 sometimes overlooked Scranton's best interest

22 highlighting the importance of careful review

23 and community feedback. For instance, a recent

24 report found that a single data center can use

25 as much water daily as a small town, hundreds
 30

 1 of thousands of gallons that are crucial for

 2 our households, emergency services, and even

 3 our hospitals. If we experience a dry spell

 4 during the summer like we have, residents may

 5 be asked to ration water raising concerns about

 6 whether our essential needs can be met.

 7 Similarly, these centers require

 8 substantial amounts of electricity placing a

 9 further strain on our already ageing

10 infrastructure. During hot summer months we

11 are often asked again to curb our electricity

12 use due to grid overload.

13 The additional demand from AI

14 centers could exasperate this problem making

15 power shortages more likely in addition to

16 these resource concerns. AI centers also

17 produce significant noise and heat which may

18 negatively impact nearby neighborhoods.

19 Drawing these direct comparisons

20 highlight how the resource consumption of AI

21 facilities could compete with the everyday

22 needs of our community and underscores the

23 urgency of addressing these challenges before

24 moving forward with any new projects.

25 Emergency preparation is crucial,
 31

 1 but we need to address specific gaps in our

 2 city's safety. Are first responders equipped

 3 for chemical leaks? Are communications systems

 4 reliable during failure? Do we have enough

 5 trained staff for fires or hazardous spills?

 6 Ambulance response time has been an

 7 issue lately. Will that be resolved? A

 8 thorough review of emergency protocols and

 9 regular training could help ensure our teams

10 are all ready for that situation. I ask for

11 transparency through impact studies and real

12 community input to ensure proper investment in

13 emergency services before approving any large

14 project.

15 I'm not against technology. I

16 support responsible growth that protects

17 neighborhoods, our neighbors, and ensures that

18 Scranton benefits fairly rather than being left

19 behind. To maximize the benefits of AI and

20 address its challenges, I ask this Council to

21 form a task force or study group, study these

22 issues and suggest proactive policies. This

23 will help Scranton stay ahead in the evolving

24 field of AI. Thank you, Council.

25 MR. SMURL: Thank you.
 32

 1 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton

 2 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight

 3 I will finally -- since -- sorry, since I will

 4 finally hopefully have closure on Friday

 5 regarding my son's unwanted death, tonight I

 6 will talk about the opioid crisis here in

 7 Scranton and Lackawanna County.

 8 Everyone seems to know who has or is

 9 being impacted by opioids. Everyone knows

10 someone who has passed away from fentanyl-laced

11 drugs. I know many including my only child

12 Christian who was an active Marine when he

13 passed away the day after his 26th birthday.

14 He had an ear procedure that went

15 horribly wrong in October of 2019, the

16 procedure ended up being four and a half hours

17 because an ENT ruptured his eardrum. They

18 ended up planting a piece of titanium to

19 stabilize his eardrum.

20 In April of 2020 he had a stroke.

21 I flew out to see him in the hospital until he

22 was released. He dropped me off at the airport

23 on April 27th, 2020. That would be the last

24 time I would see him alive. He passed away the

25 day after his 26th birthday. On day 90 during
 33

 1 Covid, I reached out to NCIS Los Angeles Field

 2 Service Supervisor told me that his autopsy

 3 showed that it was fentanyl that caused his

 4 death.

 5 Words cannot describe the feeling of

 6 losing your only child in this manner. I had

 7 conversations with my son about listening to

 8 doctors and taking your medicine as prescribed.

 9 They weaned him off his meds. They never

10 addressed the migraine or the discomfort.

11 He trusted a fellow Marine who

12 introduced him to a civilian. I was at the

13 trial where the Defendant was found guilty. I

14 had to watch everything unfold in court

15 including a video of my son leaving the night

16 of his birthday which turned out to be a lethal

17 dose of a fake and dirty pill.

18 There are so many caring people here

19 in the Scranton, Lackawanna County, and

20 Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thank you to every

21 one of you by showing your support and kindness

22 over the years when you try to get closure. I

23 know firsthand after my son's passing, these

24 people are the fabric of our communities.

25 They know -- they all know somebody
 34

 1 who passed away because of fake pills laced

 2 with fentanyl or tranq. Part of me feels

 3 guilty. I'll hopefully have closure at his

 4 sentencing on Friday in San Diego for the

 5 opioid crisis.

 6 Here in Scranton we have the same

 7 problems but to a lesser extent. However, the

 8 problems that we do have are extended because

 9 of changes made to our Scranton Police

10 Department over the last five years. I'm

11 hoping that one of City Council members would

12 ask the administration and our police

13 department the following.

14 At one time the Scranton Police

15 Department had 13 that focused only on drugs.

16 From what I understand from a very reliable

17 source, there are now only five. To me that's

18 very alarming because we embrace those who

19 choose to reside in our city from other states,

20 not all are bad by any means.

21 Most drug dealers and gang members

22 get their start, their so-called craft in other

23 states. They could care less about who they

24 impact. We had a pill press found in our city.

25 How many did that impact? How many people died
 35

 1 from that pill press? I spoke with many

 2 families since my only child's passing.

 3 Not many get justice like our family

 4 will receive. Not all drug dealers have burner

 5 phones. The question I ask not only for myself

 6 but for all the other families, friends,

 7 neighbors, coworkers who lost somebody, the

 8 same consequence are very simple.

 9 How many Scranton Police -- how is

10 our Scranton Police Department changed in the

11 last five years dealing with drugs? Is it 13

12 or is it 5? How many have been prosecuted for

13 unwanted opioid-related deaths through the city

14 in the last five years? I know the answer.

15 But I need to ask it anyways. How

16 many people passed away since January 1st, 2020

17 due to opioids. Our citizens deserve answers

18 to these questions on behalf of them and our

19 future include -- which includes children we

20 heard from earlier. These are very important

21 questions. I would hopefully ask that you

22 please answer them tonight. Thank you.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, can

25 you inquire to the police department -- I know
 36

 1 that after the horrific shooting of Officer

 2 Gilmartin that through collaboration, three law

 3 enforcement entities, the State Police, the

 4 Lackawanna County Drug Task Force and the

 5 Scranton Police Department joined forces and

 6 worked together, you know, trying to eliminate

 7 all the drug problems.

 8 Now, I just want to know without

 9 them disclosing their strategies which might

10 be, of course, confidential or sensitive; but

11 I'd like to know if that combined collaborative

12 law enforcement group is still pursuing or

13 still together working in tandem to eliminate

14 these problems.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

16 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank

17 you.

18 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little. I'd

19 like to see that independent artist who wrote

20 the song The Devil is a Democrat who surpassed

21 Cardi B in the marketplace. I'd like to see

22 that be the official City of Scranton song. I

23 don't know how to do that.

24 But anyway, we have a lot of

25 sunshine. And that's -- sunshine, the Sunshine
 37

 1 Act, well, let me start with where we are. You

 2 know, we live in a county that there is 77

 3 counties in Pennsylvania and only 8 of them are

 4 Home Rule Charter counties. Lackawanna became

 5 a Home Rule Charter county in 1977 and the City

 6 of Scranton became a Home Rule Charter city in

 7 1976.

 8 And I'm beginning to understand

 9 after my talks with Tommy Culkin why his

10 favorite Mayor was Peters because he was the

11 Mayor at this time. I see everything changed

12 after this time. And we got a government that

13 is an unconstitutional government. It's

14 unequal. It's inequity, you know, and all of

15 this equality and equity stuff started in 1871.

16 That's about the fringe on the American flag.

17 Most of the judges are really

18 administrative judges. And court watching is

19 something I have been doing for 20 years, you

20 know, especially in New York Family Courts and

21 just going through Andrew Cuomo's Moreland

22 Commission where the person on the commission

23 was Loretta Lynch. I don't know, I don't want

24 to get into who she is on the tarmac with Bill

25 Clinton.
 38

 1 But things are messed up in

 2 government. We need sunshine which the word --

 3 when a county or city become a Home Rule

 4 Charter, it's based on the Sunshine Act. It

 5 goes back to a case of Railroad v. Clinton

 6 decided by a judge named Dillon, D-I-L-L-O-N,

 7 in Iowa. That is the ruling thing.

 8 But you try to look up the history

 9 of anything around here it's gone. I mean, the

10 corporate records of Scranton have gone to

11 Lackawanna -- the suburb of Lackawanna, suburb

12 of Buffalo in Lackawanna and the train records

13 burned down in a building on Linden Street and

14 Forest.

15 And I had an awful time court

16 watching. And it doesn't make sense to me that

17 these judges and magistrates are paid three

18 times more than any major legislative or

19 executive figure in the county government and

20 certainly 15 times more than any of you.

21 And they could say, you know, get

22 out of my courtroom. You can't watch what they

23 do. I have been trying to get an appointment

24 with Judge Gibbons. I've been trying to get an

25 appointment with the DA. For years I've been
 39

 1 trying to get the DA. We got three judges, you

 2 know, Judge Jarbola and Judge Barrasse and now

 3 Judge Powell who all were in the DA's Office

 4 and the DA's Office is running Scranton Housing

 5 Authority and people are being evicted.

 6 And, you know, there's no

 7 Certificate of Occupancy. When I came to this

 8 body for help when they confiscated all of my

 9 property, I mean, it should have been a breach

10 of contract, simple thing that I could go to

11 court. And I did go to court. I bought a

12 docket number.

13 And then the things that happened to

14 me in the Court, you know, the judge takes my

15 docket number away -- Judge Moyle, and combines

16 it with the eviction proceeding. People don't

17 have a chance. People in Park Gardens won't

18 have a chance when they're being evicted. And

19 we need sunshine.

20 We need open -- openness of -- so

21 people could see what's going on because it's

22 not coming through the newspaper. It's not

23 coming through WNEP or any of the television.

24 And people have no idea what's going on. I'm

25 running for Mayor. I think we need pride in
 40

 1 every office.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else

 3 wish to --

 4 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council,

 5 Tom Coyne, Minooka. Interesting to see in the

 6 paper that our hometown boy, our hometown hero

 7 wanted to make everything here wonderful is

 8 going and putting the Biden Library in

 9 Delaware. I guess he really didn't want people

10 to come to Scranton and boost us up.

11 I guess he wasn't that hometown hero

12 that we expected when he left in his early

13 teens to spend 50 years in Delaware. I guess

14 we went through a lot of rigamarole to put

15 signs and welcoming and kissing for a man who

16 just said, thank you, but my hometown is

17 Delaware. I only said Scranton because it

18 politically felt good.

19 But we bought it and we have a

20 highway. We have a city street named after it

21 but we don't have the money for a presidential

22 library. Moving on, Lackawanna Avenue, we have

23 that before us for grants, all well and great.

24 Talk about the walkability study.

25 It's funny in the walkability study
 41

 1 was we were supposed to have another meeting

 2 six months later. I guess that didn't happen

 3 because at the walkability study, there were a

 4 lot of uncomfortable questions that were not

 5 answered that could not be answered. They were

 6 put on the floor that were tried to be shut

 7 down.

 8 And then once everything was said

 9 and done, they said, not a problem. We'll go

10 and we'll have a second meeting beforehand.

11 Well, I guess we're going to do all the funding

12 and get everything rolling and have everything

13 on paper before we actually have a meeting for

14 the public because once again, it doesn't

15 matter what the public says.

16 Now to move on tonight, I have a

17 lovely selection here which is put out for

18 everyone to hear. It's a little political

19 satire and I hope you enjoy it.

20 "I know I should have stopped it. I

21 said it all along, my family, oh, they

22 counseled me. Obviously it was wrong. I filed

23 faulty papers, tried to sweep it under the rug,

24 how dare people hold me accountable. They

25 really are the thugs. They really are the
 42

 1 thugs. They really are the thugs.

 2 I can't hold back and I was weak. I

 3 don't like when the people speak. So for me

 4 they created this new song, for me they created

 5 this new song. John Q public took a turn to

 6 speak. I could not hold it down. As he turned

 7 to walk away, I whispered out this sound,

 8 whispered out this sound.

 9 I turned to whisper with the mic

10 turned on. They are acting just like kids.

11 Ignorant of all my chains is exactly what I

12 did. I won't respond to anything. I promise

13 to do what's right. But like the rules in my

14 own world, it's from a prior night.

15 I would say vote for me. I stand

16 for you and snatch the wrong from right.

17 Holding to my own word is not happening

18 tonight. I need your vote. I need to pass.

19 So please ignore this song. Reelect me to this

20 seat so I can do what's wrong. Reelect my

21 rubber stamp so I could continue to be wrong.

22 That is available at

23 AFG-media.ussmural-song. It's created -- it

24 was created by me and it's under creative

25 comments. No copyright. Use it as you will.
 43

 1 Have at it. Thank you and have a good night.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 3 MS. GILMARTIN: Good evening, my

 4 name is Celeste Gilmartin. My concern is with

 5 the zoning board laws and how they're being

 6 enforced.

 7 MR. SMURL: Did you say Celeste?

 8 MS. GILMARTIN: Celeste Gilmartin.

 9 MR. SMURL: Gilmartin, thank you.

10 MS. GILMARTIN: So in April, the

11 zoning board closed down an airbnb that was

12 considered a business up on our mountain --

13 East Mountain in Scranton where our zoning does

14 not permit businesses. That was in April and

15 he's still running the business. And I was

16 just wondering what the procedure is.

17 MR. SMURL: Everyone is pretty much

18 keeping a close eye on it. If I could have

19 Attorney Gilbride give you -- bring you

20 up-to-date on what we know about it on your

21 time; is that okay?

22 MS. GILMARTIN: Yes.

23 MR. SMURL: Okay. Attorney

24 Gilbride?

25 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Thank you. Mrs.
 44

 1 Gilmartin, at the behest of the members of

 2 Council, I was asked to look into this issue as

 3 they have been aware of it for some time. City

 4 did as I'm sure you're aware, they did cite the

 5 property owner. That was then forwarded to the

 6 district justice's office which is the

 7 appropriate path for that to take.

 8 From there it has to be served on

 9 the person -- the property owner. That service

10 has not been made to date, can't find the

11 person apparently. However, I'm told as of

12 Friday when I had the conversation with the

13 legal department that they feel confident of

14 their ability to get that served forthwith.

15 I guess there is new information

16 that came out that they have. Once that's done

17 following the procedures, there will be a

18 hearing before the district justice. The

19 district justice will then have to issue an

20 order.

21 MS. GILMARTIN: So he's just allowed

22 to run it until he has another hearing.

23 ATTY. GILBRIDE: As of this point he

24 has not been served. Although we can assume

25 that he probably knows because I'm sure it's
 45

 1 spoken about in the public.

 2 MS. GILMARTIN: Are there any

 3 penalties for him to --

 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That would be up to

 5 the district justice.

 6 MS. GILMARTIN: Okay, so --

 7 ATTY. GILBRIDE: And again, this is

 8 just procedural due process. He has not been

 9 served. So at this point there's the case --

10 he has not been given this notice that there's

11 a case against him. And so they have to follow

12 the rules.

13 MS. GILMARTIN: So the zoning on

14 East Mountain is I believe we're zoned as a six

15 which does not allow businesses or long -- or

16 short-term rentals. There's a hole bunch of

17 them starting to pop up. Nothing seems to be

18 done about it. Across the street from that

19 particular house, the airbnb, there is another

20 short-term rental.

21 And they -- I was just wondering, I

22 actually saw the zoning board car going around

23 but I don't see him stopping anywhere.

24 MR. MCANDREW: You mean code

25 enforcement?
 46

 1 MS. GILMARTIN: Is that what it was,

 2 code enforcement?

 3 MR. SMURL: Blue and white cars?

 4 MS. GILMARTIN: Yes.

 5 MR. SMURL: Yeah, that's code

 6 enforcement.

 7 MR. MCANDREW: Can you provide the

 8 address to Mr. Voldenberg of the other airbnb

 9 across the street?

10 MS. GILMARTIN: Yes, I believe

11 it's --

12 MR. MCANDREW: We'll alert code

13 enforcement.

14 MR. KING: It's an airbnb.

15 MS. GILMARTIN: No, that's not.

16 That's just a short-term rental.

17 MR. KING: Well, I believe they -- I

18 believe they are allowed. We'll have to

19 double-check the zoning on that. But they have

20 to live there six months of the year and then

21 they could rent for six months of the year.

22 MS. GILMARTIN: But they don't. I

23 believe it's a realty company that's leasing it

24 out.

25 MR. KING: Well, if that's the case,
 47

 1 yeah, absolutely.

 2 MS. GILMARTIN: And it's very

 3 neglected. I mean, there's weeds growing up

 4 past the windows. And, you know, there's been

 5 some trouble with some of the people that he

 6 leased it to, criminal things happening there.

 7 So -- so our zone six, so I believe that at one

 8 time we were a zone eight. Am I wrong about

 9 that?

10 MR. KING: We were rezoned. When

11 did we do that, two years ago?

12 MR. MCANDREW: 2022.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: One is R-8 and the

14 other is R6.

15 MR. KING: We're R6.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: I believe R6 is the

17 majority of the mountain. Below Wintermantle

18 is R8.

19 MS. GILMARTIN: So these -- so they

20 are illegal and they will be taken care of?

21 MR. KING: Airbnbs are not

22 permitted.

23 MS. GILMARTIN: What about the

24 short-term rentals?

25 MR. KING: Short-term rentals I
 48

 1 believe are. We'll have to double-check that.

 2 MS. GILMARTIN: Even with absentee

 3 owners?

 4 MR. KING: Excuse me?

 5 MS. GILMARTIN: Even with absentee

 6 owners they are still allowed?

 7 MR. KING: The rules associated with

 8 that are, I believe, the owner has to live in

 9 the house for six months and they could rent it

10 for six months. For instance, like, if

11 somebody is -- they go to Florida all winter

12 and they want to rent their place.

13 Now, whether those rules are being

14 followed is another thing. So that is

15 something that we absolutely have to look into.

16 Yeah, I believe that's --

17 MR. MCANDREW: You still need a

18 petition -- you still need to go before zoning

19 for a special exception to actually operate.

20 And then it's in their hands if they are going

21 to deny it or not. I know the property you are

22 speaking of was denied and they never appealed

23 it. So it comes -- and there's a process like

24 Solicitor Gilbride just explained.

25 It might not be fast enough for us
 49

 1 and I agree. But at this point, I mean, they

 2 are breaking the ordinance. So, I mean, I

 3 believe that code enforcement should, you know,

 4 keep their eye on it. If they are still

 5 operating they should be cited again.

 6 I'm not a legal expert by no means

 7 but I was thrilled to hear today before the

 8 meeting that this was in process which means

 9 it's being followed through. And it's

10 unfortunate it's not quick enough and this

11 person still continues to break the law or the

12 ordinance.

13 That's unfortunate. But that, you

14 know, I think we need to alert code enforcement

15 about the property across the street to check

16 it out, you know, and this -- and alert them to

17 the fact that they are still operating. The

18 responsibility is on them.

19 I don't want to sound like I'm

20 pushing the buck. We share the same concerns

21 as you do. And do you know how many people

22 approach us about whether they -- they call

23 them airbnbs -- that's how they're listed or

24 short-term rentals. We hear it not just from

25 your part of the city, we hear it from all
 50

 1 over. And I just think we have to get a better

 2 handle on it obviously.

 3 MS. GILMARTIN: So we have -- do

 4 they have -- do the owners have to have, like,

 5 background checks on these people?

 6 MR. MCANDREW: I don't believe

 7 that's the case. We need to be fair across the

 8 city. So I think we might have to take a look

 9 at how it's, you know, how it's read or written

10 in the ordinance and take another look at it

11 because obviously it's not working.

12 MS. GILMARTIN: Right.

13 MR. MCANDREW: It's still a problem.

14 MS. GILMARTIN: Right. Yeah, our

15 neighborhood is changing up there. I mean, it

16 used to be, you know, you'd feel safe walking

17 down the street and everybody was friendly.

18 And now they have these people that have dark

19 curtains over their windows and weeds growing

20 all over the place.

21 So we're wondering are they drug

22 dealers? Are they -- you know, who are they?

23 Do they have any background checks on them.

24 MR. MCANDREW: I don't believe

25 that's done. That's not --
 51

 1 MR. SMURL: I don't know. We really

 2 don't --

 3 MS. GILMARTIN: So I guess it's

 4 something --

 5 MR. SMURL: We know as much as you

 6 do. We see it advertised airbnb, puts the

 7 address and there you have it. So it is being

 8 operated according to the advertisement. But

 9 it is in process and that's all we can do.

10 It's totally up the magistrate at this point.

11 MS. GILMARTIN: Okay.

12 MR. SMURL: All right.

13 MR. KING: One thing I would ask is

14 if we could reach out to code enforcement if

15 they could go in -- actually actively have

16 somebody go into the airbnb site and just

17 search potential airbnbs throughout the city as

18 if they are a customer looking to, you know,

19 wanting to stay there and then take a look at

20 the associated zoning to see if they are

21 permitted.

22 And if they are permitted,

23 furthermore, did they actually follow through

24 the proper process to become certified to do

25 that, did they go to zoning or what have you.
 52

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. King.

 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: (Inaudible.) --

 3 police and then as we get closer to it. And

 4 then also background checks aren't required.

 5 You have to give them, like, your license

 6 information. They have to verify who you are

 7 so they do have that information in case there

 8 is, you know, an issue that takes place or a

 9 crime or anything.

10 Police, yeah, and then, you know,

11 you could have like reviews based on yourself

12 as someone who has gone to airbnbs from other

13 places or, you know, you also look for places

14 that there are reviews that the person has, the

15 renter. So that's --

16 MS. GILMARTIN: Okay. Well, thank

17 you. I'm glad to hear you are really taking

18 care of it.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: With this particular

20 property, zoning denied them on April 7th.

21 MS. GILMARTIN: Yes.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: They were attempting

23 to serve them for an August 28th hearing that

24 never occurred because the individual --

25 MS. GILMARTIN: Right. And they had
 53

 1 a hearing but they didn't show up.

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Correct. So there is

 3 a new hearing date. It's towards the end of

 4 October. They are going to make that attempt

 5 to serve them. And the zoning closed them down

 6 or denied them for several issues that they had

 7 at the time. I believe one of them was the six

 8 month rule that they have to live in the home

 9 at six months.

10 But moving forward I do believe we

11 have to look into our ordinance. And if we

12 need updates and amendments to it, move from

13 there. But this case here may be one of those

14 that sets that ball rolling if it already

15 hasn't, which I believe it has.

16 MS. GILMARTIN: Yes, thank you.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

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

19 MOTIONS.

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

21 any motions or comments?

22 MR. KING: Just a few comments. An

23 individual said they speak to Democrats and

24 they don't know what they believe in. Well,

25 I'm a Democrat. I believe in the Constitution.
 54

 1 I believe in the rule of law. I believe in

 2 doing what we can to help the poor, respecting

 3 women, respecting every citizen no matter what

 4 their background is. I'm against illegal

 5 immigration. But I support the opportunity for

 6 people to assimilate in this country.

 7 I'm for lower taxes for the middle

 8 and lower income and higher taxes for

 9 billionaires. There's a lot of things I'm for.

10 I'm not going to sit here and go through the

11 litany of things. But, yeah, and there's a lot

12 of things that I'm not for that the other side

13 is for. And we get to watch that every day on

14 television. So that's all I have to say about

15 that. Thank you.

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

17 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

18 comments?

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, a few comments.

20 We did get a list of some of the stormwater

21 projects that are going to be going on in the

22 city. They are going to be clearing out Lindy

23 Creek, which is off of Frink Street, some of

24 the debris that's in there as well as cleaning

25 out a storm pipe in Keyser Valley.
 55

 1 So some of those Keyser Valley

 2 projects are going to be starting if they

 3 haven't already. Also, the phase one of

 4 Fawnwood is going out to bid. So those

 5 projects should be starting to go out to bid

 6 and secure contractors for those when it comes

 7 to stormwater.

 8 And many of the North Scranton

 9 stormwater projects are going to be starting as

10 well. So I'm glad to hear that those projects

11 are beginning and bids are being secured.

12 Quite a bit of money went into the stormwater

13 and 23 million dollars of that stormwater money

14 was coming -- comes from ARPA -- ARPA funding.

15 So it's good to see those projects

16 beginning to occur. I had a few pending

17 concerns from residents, one being on Cottage

18 Avenue and the other one on Van Buren. I sent

19 them over a day or so ago. And then one of the

20 other things is I was looking for an update on

21 Dorothy Street.

22 So we haven't heard anything back

23 officially on what's occurring Dorothy Street,

24 Mr. Voldenberg?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, we haven't, but
 56

 1 I'll contact the water company in the morning

 2 and get a direct status.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you very

 4 much. I want to let the rest of the Council

 5 members know last year in the capital budget we

 6 did amend the wording in the capital budget to

 7 make sure that the fire station Engine 10 on

 8 East Mountain had the language of Engine 10.

 9 This year there is a paragraph in

10 the capital budget that gives a little bit of

11 history of Engine 10. But it doesn't state the

12 location. So I just want to make a friendly

13 amendment as we approve the capital budget and

14 move forward with that that we make sure that

15 language is again in it this year.

16 MR. KING: Absolutely.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: And then when it

18 comes to the SRA, I was happy to see the

19 Director of the SRA come in tonight and explain

20 some of the things that are going on there with

21 their projects, to hear some of those funding

22 sources which are mostly ARPA funding sources

23 and how they're pursuing some of those

24 projects.

25 We did get a copy of their meeting
 57

 1 minutes. So can we please ask the

 2 administration that those meeting minutes go up

 3 onto the city website so they are viewable for

 4 the public? I think a lot of confusion

 5 occurred with residents and ourselves not

 6 knowing exactly what was going on with the

 7 Redevelopment Authority.

 8 And then I did ask Miss Martindale

 9 tonight for a copy of their budget as well as

10 their audited financial statements if we could

11 just secure those from the SRA Director.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll be sure to get

13 them.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

15 very much. That's all.

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

17 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

18 comments?

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. Thank

20 you. First, I wanted to have us reach out to

21 American Water. They had given us a list of

22 their projects for the season. And I wanted to

23 get updates on which ones were completed, which

24 ones were still ongoing. There are -- several

25 roads around the city that still have not been
 58

 1 completed.

 2 And before we know it, it will be

 3 cold and they'll say that they can't until the

 4 spring. So I want to make sure that some of

 5 those major projects are completed. And I'm

 6 not sure which ones are American Water projects

 7 or if there other utility companies involved.

 8 But I know some of the ones that

 9 come to mind are along North Webster Avenue in

10 the hill, North Main Avenue in North Scranton

11 and Pittston Avenue in South Side are some of

12 them that come to mind. So if we could check

13 in on those projects and ask that they send us

14 updates on all the ones that they worked on.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: (Inaudible.)

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: I greatly appreciate

17 it. Thank you. And I have another question

18 for Parks and Rec this week, something that

19 came up from a citizen who has a child with

20 autism. And they were wondering about what

21 parks we have in the city that are gated.

22 So I know that some of them are but

23 not all of them. And I was wondering if we

24 would be able to get a list of which ones are

25 gated and secure for children who might have a
 59

 1 habit of running out of a park.

 2 For example, Robinson Park that I

 3 mentioned that I went to recently does have a

 4 gate around, but it's not complete. There are

 5 sections of it that it's not fully encapsulated

 6 around the park, so wanted to find out some

 7 more about which ones are gated for that family

 8 and for others who might be wondering about

 9 that too.

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that

11 information, Dr. Rothchild.

12 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And I

13 received a complaint about a property that's

14 at 1428-1430 Linden Street that has pretty tall

15 grass and there's been multiple complaints over

16 the summer about it. And I believe they did

17 have at least one warning or a yellow door tag.

18 But the residents are saying that

19 nothing further was done about it. It still

20 has not been addressed.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up.

22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

23 lastly, I just wanted to address the young man

24 Evan who had spoken earlier along with the

25 young lady who joined him at the podium. I was
 60

 1 really impressed to hear him speak. He had a

 2 really well-prepared speech and was well-spoken

 3 and clearly very passionate about roosters.

 4 And I learned a lot about roosters just in his

 5 five minute speech and equally impressed with

 6 the amount of signatures that they obtained.

 7 So they really worked hard to bring

 8 that to us and I want to make sure that we

 9 really take into consideration. I have had

10 other people bring concerns to me of the number

11 of chickens in our ordinance. I think it's a

12 maximum of, like, two that people are allowed

13 to have, so to be able to increase that amount

14 of chickens.

15 So while we're examining the

16 ordinance and the possibility of roosters if

17 maybe that is also a consideration that Council

18 takes or begins to discuss. That's all that I

19 have. Thank you.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

21 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

22 motions or comments?

23 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I got a couple.

24 So before I report out on previous inquiries

25 that I asked for, I too am having a problem
 61

 1 with the ATVs and the electric bikes. I know I

 2 was here a few years ago when we amended the

 3 ordinance. And I remember being told that

 4 they, you know, okay, they don't want to chase

 5 them and I get that. Somebody could get

 6 seriously hurt.

 7 But I remember from the Chief I

 8 believe he said there would be a strategy of

 9 like I'm trying to remember. It was

10 triangulate the use -- using the use of cameras

11 that are throughout the city where, you know,

12 maybe they see one running -- riding down

13 Lackawanna Avenue and through the command

14 center they could radio ahead and maybe catch

15 them instead of chasing them.

16 I remember that as a strategy. I

17 don't know if that is still utilized for it or

18 if it has worked. And then I also remember the

19 change in the ordinance. We pretty much follow

20 the state one. So the state one said -- and I

21 think we adopted almost all of it that, you

22 know, they're not allowed obviously.

23 But they could be seized. They

24 could be impounded. If the owner is convicted,

25 the Court could order seizure of, sale of,
 62

 1 destruction of the illegal ATV. They should be

 2 registered with the Pennsylvania -- must

 3 register with the Department of Conversion and

 4 Natural Resources. All riders and passengers,

 5 you know, if they are legal -- legally

 6 registered should wear helmets.

 7 I don't see any of that. And I'll

 8 be honest with you -- and then the one I have

 9 trouble with but, you know, it's part of the

10 new state law we adopted it that said there's a

11 specific ordinance preventing the dispersement

12 of gasoline into a running ATV on a city

13 street, which means we are putting the

14 responsibility on, you know, maybe some 16, 17

15 year old kid working at a convenient or

16 filling this that we, you know, we empower them

17 to make that decision.

18 I never understand how that would

19 work. In addition, and I think this is the

20 same thing. The electric bike to me is the

21 same thing. I too have seen them on Main

22 Avenue. I drive from West Scranton to North

23 Scranton every day to work back and forth.

24 All right. I don't see ATVs every

25 day, but on occasion more than previous years.
 63

 1 But I'm seeing a ton of these little electric

 2 bikes with little kids on it. I don't know if

 3 I saw a five year old. That scares me if a

 4 five year old is riding around without any

 5 supervision but, you know, 11.

 6 And, you know, I'm old enough to

 7 remember to be mindful of cyclist where they

 8 used to use their arm and they'd follow the

 9 rules and just a regular cyclist. I remember

10 seeing that growing up. And, you know, you

11 were cognizant, you know, you rode on the

12 sidewalk versus the street.

13 But these kids are darting in and

14 out on these electric bikes. They're not

15 looking. There's no helmets. And they are not

16 paying attention. It's almost like a game when

17 there is two of them. So, Solicitor Gilbride,

18 I mean, I think we need to take a look at this

19 ordinance again because I know we changed it a

20 couple years ago.

21 It doesn't seem to be working. So

22 if something is not working, of course, we

23 should take a look at it and see if there is

24 anything we could do, you know, and outside of,

25 you know, the liability issues and I get that.
 64

 1 But if there is any other way that we could

 2 attack this, because it's a public safety

 3 issue, let's face it, especially with the

 4 little kids on these bikes. And they are all

 5 over the place.

 6 I see them almost daily, you know,

 7 maybe until, you know, the weather starts

 8 getting cold but someone is going to get hurt

 9 and then whose fault is it; you know what I

10 mean? I don't want to read in the paper that,

11 you know, an 11 year old got killed on an

12 electric bike without a helmet and, you know,

13 we didn't even attempt to look at how to police

14 this or control it because they're gaining

15 popularity.

16 So if you could please look into

17 that, you know, reach out and talk to the city

18 about it, the plan that's in place that we

19 changed to is it working, okay, Solicitor

20 Gilbride? Thank you. So last week I asked

21 about -- I inquired about -- and this is

22 another big problem throughout the city, people

23 parking on sidewalks and in their yards.

24 All right. It's a huge problem

25 throughout the city. I know people own more
 65

 1 cars than they did 10, 20, 30 years ago. I get

 2 that. But they are becoming a safety issue.

 3 So since I inquired about it, the response I

 4 got from administration is the SPD was notified

 5 of the issue. So since between last week and

 6 this week, a resident said, again, you know,

 7 the 600 block of Harrison on the odd side

 8 parked on the sidewalks where all of these cars

 9 are, but the court behind it has garages and

10 other parking spots.

11 So I don't understand. So, you

12 know, I try to sympathize as much as I can with

13 the residents that have nowhere to park on a

14 narrow street. I get it. So can you just

15 forward this additional concern to the police

16 department or through 311, whatever avenue you

17 have to take? All right?

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

19 McAndrew.

20 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. So again,

21 the legislation we're going to move forward --

22 we already introduced it was, it was the grant

23 application for, you know, the Lackawanna

24 Avenue for the streetscape, the sidewalks, and

25 part of the stormwater and curbing issues that
 66

 1 are related to that.

 2 It was a lot of money. It was 1.2

 3 million. I know it's ARPA money. But I know

 4 there was a walkability study. And I know they

 5 only had one meeting and they were supposed to

 6 have more than two and entertain some ideas and

 7 criticisms.

 8 But I remember the one that I had

 9 the biggest problem with was changing the light

10 to stop signs four ways on Lackawanna Avenue

11 and most of downtown. That never made any

12 sense to me. And we talked about safety and I

13 know they're putting bike lanes in and what

14 about the poor handicap they have trouble, you

15 know, they wait for that button.

16 They might get 11 seconds. How many

17 seconds are you going to get with a stop sign

18 and, you know what, God forbid the poor people

19 with sight problems trying to navigate through

20 downtown. So I was afraid and, you know, and I

21 hate to be that guy, but I was afraid that that

22 piece of it was embedded in this legislation

23 and I just didn't see it.

24 So I wanted confirmation and asked

25 last week, hey, 5-F because it's a lot of money
 67

 1 is somehow, you know, removing the lights and

 2 changing them to stop signs embedded in this

 3 because it's part of the walkability study.

 4 So I was, of course, I got a

 5 response that traffic signals are no part of

 6 this application. So what does that mean? I

 7 don't know if it's coming in another piece of

 8 legislation a week from now, a month from now.

 9 I don't know. I still don't like it.

10 So you could thank administration.

11 You could thank them for the response. But I

12 would like to expand on my question if that

13 piece of the walkability study that they were

14 in favor of is there any legislation that we

15 don't know about that might be forthcoming

16 removing the lights and changing them to stop

17 signs because there was like Mr. Coyne said,

18 there was no other meetings to -- followup to

19 decide if that's even a strategy.

20 I don't want to wait for it to just

21 be entered into legislation. I'd like to know

22 ahead of time if that's going to be part of the

23 project.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

25 questions.
 68

 1 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. And what

 2 else do I have? I think that's it. That's all

 3 I have. Thanks.

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

 5 The first issue was up on East Mountain

 6 resident's concern about a swale that was put

 7 in at the top of the mountain to catch

 8 stormwater. I believe our DPW did it and put a

 9 couple pieces across driveways or entrance

10 roads.

11 They were concerned about a

12 hazardous situation. So I went up and looked

13 at it. And it is not a very safe situation.

14 It's just a big trench dug at the side of the

15 road. My concern was wearing away from the

16 road being so close with water running through

17 it the road may collapse or if it underwashes

18 it.

19 So I did ask for a meeting with our

20 Business Administrator, Eileen Cipriani. And I

21 asked her if our DPW could go back up there and

22 put in a perforated -- the perforated

23 corrugated piping and tie it in from where they

24 went to the driveways and tie it in across the

25 entire area they put a swale in and then cover
 69

 1 it either with crushed stone or gravel to level

 2 it back off with the street.

 3 So we will still get the same

 4 effect. We will catch the water, but it will

 5 not be a swale in the side of the road. I

 6 thought we were trying to eliminate those. I

 7 know the one going up Elm Street when you are

 8 going up you turn left, you turn right and you

 9 turn left again, you come down there and it's

10 very dangerous.

11 So I hope that our engineer comes

12 back because it was sent to him and that they

13 will just put the pipe underground and then

14 cover it. And I believe our DPW can do that

15 because they did what I believe was the first

16 stage of it. So hopefully they will get that

17 covered up.

18 Also, last week Norma Jeffries asked

19 about sidewalks in the city are people required

20 to have them. So according to our construction

21 code that we use in the City of Scranton, it

22 states that you must provide a path to your

23 front door. And that is it, no sidewalks on

24 the sides, no sidewalks to the rear. So,

25 Norma, no, nobody has to put sidewalks in.
 70

 1 MR. MCANDREW: How old is that

 2 ordinance?

 3 MR. SMURL: This is not an

 4 ordinance. This is actually our construction

 5 code that we had that we go by it. It was

 6 three years ago I believe. The problem being,

 7 I know if you go up on River Street, the last

 8 block going up there is all stone.

 9 And there would be absolutely no way

10 to do it. That would be a hardship because it

11 would be thousands of dollars just cutting it.

12 But according to the code that we use,

13 construction code that we use, it is not

14 mandated. So they don't have to do it.

15 Also, on the board of directors met

16 actually yesterday we met for the Scranton

17 Parking system. And the bond closing was

18 August 8th, Series A bonds, 23,530,000,

19 interest rate was 6.447. That is the tax

20 exempt bonds.

21 The Series B bonds, the 360,000,

22 that was 6.25 and they are taxable. And the

23 Series C bonds, 4,640,000. And that rate is

24 7.75. That is also tax exempt. Also, on the A

25 bonds, there will be no interest until February
 71

 1 1st of 2026 so that we could fully fund the

 2 debt service back up to $185,000 plateau and

 3 pay off the B bonds by August of 2026.

 4 And in our capital reserve, there is

 5 $215,000. And in the debt service reserve

 6 there is $210,000. That was the parking

 7 agreement that I agreed to go to every month

 8 and update everyone with what's actually

 9 happening because for years we sold the Parking

10 Authority and nobody knew what was going on.

11 But as long as I'm invited, I will

12 go and report back every month what is

13 happening. Also while I was there, I did

14 request a meeting to ask them for basically for

15 exception between the hours of 5 and 7 p.m. in

16 front of City Hall and in Dix Court behind City

17 Hall.

18 Anytime there is a meeting at City

19 Council, any type of meeting that someone has

20 to come here into City Hall after 5 p.m., I

21 don't believe we should force them to pay until

22 7 p.m. We're making people come down here to

23 the Appeals Board meetings and we're charging

24 them.

25 And it's never been like that. So
 72

 1 they agreed to a meeting. And I don't know how

 2 they would do it. But I asked them if they

 3 would look into it and consider it. So they

 4 said they would and I will be meeting with them

 5 to see if we could actually do that.

 6 Also I met with Julie Schumacher

 7 Cohen from the University of Scranton again

 8 same as I did last year about their donation

 9 and their economic impact on the City of

10 Scranton. Last year I did get all of the

11 numbers of every penny they paid in taxes.

12 This year they provided me with this

13 book. I got -- all of the Council people

14 should have it. I gave everybody one of these.

15 And Mr. Voldenberg will put the website on the

16 back of here on our website so anyone can

17 access that.

18 You could see this book. It tells

19 you right to the dollar every penny of taxes

20 they paid. It's all in here. So there are no

21 more guesses because there are a lot of things

22 I was told over the years that they don't pay

23 taxes on their restaurants and they don't pay

24 taxes on empty parking lots. They do and it's

25 all in here.
 73

 1 So if anybody would like to see

 2 that, I believe, Mr. Voldenberg, will that be

 3 available tomorrow?

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have that

 5 placed on the website tomorrow.

 6 MR. SMURL: Okay, so that anyone

 7 will be able to see it. And that -- that is

 8 it.

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

10 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AMENDING CHAPTER

11 379 OF CITY CODE ("SECONDHAND GOODS AND

12 DEALERS") TO EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZE REQUIRING

13 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION AND TO

14 UPDATE OTHER LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT

15 PROVISIONS.

16 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

17 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced

18 into its proper committee.

19 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.

20 MR. KING: Second.

21 MR. SMURL: On the question? So on

22 the question, this will require businesses such

23 as pawn shops or people that deal in used

24 items, it will require them to upload all of

25 this information, the sales information into a
 74

 1 database because what's currently happening now

 2 is they are required to report this. But what

 3 they do is, they may print out 2, 3,000

 4 receipts and take it down to the Scranton

 5 Police Department and drop off 3,000 pages for

 6 us to enter it.

 7 I don't believe that's the way to do

 8 it. We are probably one of the last people

 9 that still do it. So that is what this

10 ordinance is all about. And I spoke with Chief

11 Carroll and he said that the police department

12 will go to each of these businesses and they

13 will teach them how to get onto that site and

14 they'll explain every step of the way, the

15 entire procedure and show them what this is all

16 about.

17 So this will -- this is done

18 everywhere else. And, I mean, why would you

19 drop off 3,000 receipts when you could just

20 enter it into a database and that's what this

21 is all about. All those in favor of

22 introduction signify by saying aye.

23 MR. KING: Aye.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.
 75

 1 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

 2 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

 3 have it and so moved.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR

 5 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING

 6 ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

 7 WITHOUT COMPETITION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

 8 AFFECTING PUBLIC SAFETY.

 9 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

10 entertain a motion that Item 5-C be introduced

11 into its proper committee.

12 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

14 MR. SMURL: On the question?

15 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, Mr.

16 Voldenberg, can we just ask the administration

17 this is just for officers to start who have

18 already had some of this training and Act 120

19 and when these officers -- if they are to

20 start, would they be regular full-time

21 officers?

22 And then would the city still be --

23 if they don't already have their civil service

24 testing, would the city still be considering

25 testing as part of the vetting process?
 76

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask both

 2 questions.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

 4 MR. KING: On the question, I'm

 5 going to call the Chief. I have a few

 6 questions I would like to ask him. And if

 7 anybody wants to, you know, if you think of

 8 anything if you want to e-mail it to me, I'll

 9 be glad to ask the Chief those questions.

10 So I'm going to vote for

11 introduction. I just want to make sure we're

12 doing everything properly.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, I'm going to

14 vote for introduction as well. I just want to

15 make sure that we're, you know, in some cities

16 they could hire the officers; but as they move

17 up the ranks they would still need to complete

18 that civil service testing and still keep them

19 as part of the vetting.

20 MR. SMURL: All right. So I did

21 meet to -- to speak with the Chief only because

22 of these two, for instance, the second one,

23 5-C, it's very difficult to read. I didn't

24 really get a lot of out it. So I met with

25 Chief -- or I spoke with Chief Carroll
 77

 1 yesterday.

 2 And this kind of -- the explanation

 3 how he explained it to me, he said this will

 4 help fill permanent vacancies faster. For

 5 instance, right now if someone came to the

 6 police department for employment, we would

 7 sponsor them, provide them with a conditional

 8 letter of employment.

 9 Then they would need to take the Act

10 120 course and we would -- and right now we

11 only have one academy a year. So that's 12

12 months. And once they pass all of the

13 requirements, then they must also have six

14 months of field training.

15 So for a brand new officer to come

16 in, it's pretty much 18 months from day one

17 until they are in the car by themself is how

18 it's explained. So with this ordinance,

19 they -- the city will be able -- the Chief,

20 whoever does the hiring, will hire someone from

21 say another police department that has the Act

22 120 already done.

23 They would also have to go through a

24 thorough evaluation process to conform their

25 sustainability qualifications and their
 78

 1 trustworthiness for the position. This is

 2 specific only to the State of Pennsylvania for

 3 the Act 120. If they come from another state

 4 and they don't meet all the requirements that

 5 the City of Scranton has, they would have to

 6 take that section of the Act 120 test over.

 7 Otherwise we would be able to -- so

 8 if someone came down from Blakely and wanted to

 9 be hired, they had the Act 120 and they were

10 certified and everything, they could start

11 tomorrow. But say you come from New Jersey and

12 basically you don't have the same rules or the

13 same stipulations, requirements that the City

14 of Scranton has, you would be required to do

15 all of that. So that is how it was explained

16 to me and so I pass that along.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: And to answer Joan's

18 question, in this piece of legislation it does

19 state that the Civil Service Commission would

20 review these candidates.

21 MR. SMURL: Yeah, the only

22 difference is to fast track it. But they have

23 to still meet every qualification that the City

24 of Scranton has. But brand new officers for 18

25 months, this person could be put in within a
 79

 1 month if they are --

 2 MR. KING: That might work out for a

 3 part-timer at Dickson City or Blakely or Throop

 4 that maybe they're only part time in those

 5 departments and they would be able to just fill

 6 up the rest of their schedule here until our

 7 people go through the 18 month process.

 8 MR. SMURL: Well, no, this would be

 9 a full-time position. They would be hired as a

10 full-time officer. This is to fill permanent

11 vacancies.

12 MR. KING: What happens when, like,

13 so they then become a full-time police officer

14 for the City of Scranton until retirement?

15 MR. SMURL: Yes. Yes. You're

16 hired as a full-time police officer. The only

17 difference is how I figured this to work was,

18 they already have the Act 120 finished. They

19 have all the requirements that we're requiring

20 everyone else to have.

21 So all we're doing is we're taking

22 an officer from somewhere else and hiring them.

23 But it's to fill a full time open position

24 which I don't --

25 MR. KING: So this wouldn't even
 80

 1 have been an issue --

 2 MR. SMURL: We've been doing this

 3 except --

 4 MR. KING: A year or two ago it

 5 wouldn't have been an issue because you

 6 couldn't do it because they were required to

 7 live in the city.

 8 MR. SMURL: Correct.

 9 MR. KING: So that's why this is

10 coming up.

11 MR. MCANDREW: This benefits people

12 for lateral moves. This is a good tool.

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: As long as we make

14 sure, like, they are still being properly

15 vetted.

16 MR. SMURL: Every single thing

17 that --

18 DR. ROTHCHILD: And they're

19 qualified for the position.

20 MR. SMURL: It's all in there. They

21 have to follow every single rule that the

22 officer starting at Act 120 day one at

23 Lackawanna, everybody has to do the same thing

24 except they already have this completed.

25 So instead of making them go through
 81

 1 this entire thing again, you know, they may

 2 have done it five years ago, doesn't make sense

 3 to send them back to school. They already

 4 qualify. So that is how I figured this would

 5 be a good thing to fill the positions.

 6 And somewhere around 20 officers I

 7 was told somewhere -- and I'm not exactly sure

 8 and I don't know where that came from, but 20

 9 sticks in my head for some reason that we are

10 20 officers short. So this might help us

11 recoup some quickly. All right anyone else?

12 All right. All those in favor of introduction

13 signify by saying aye.

14 MR. KING: Aye.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

17 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

18 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

19 have it and so moved.

22 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

23 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced

24 into its proper committee.

25 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.
 83

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

 2 MR. SMURL: On the question? On the

 3 question, this request is from Frank Dubas. He

 4 has done many other projects throughout the

 5 city, you know, the 715 Cedar Avenue, Garden of

 6 Hearts, John Lennon mural downtown and my

 7 favorite one the April Showers, the exhibit in

 8 Bogart Court where all the umbrellas are up and

 9 stuff.

10 So this is the same gentleman that

11 is looking to do this. And this is for

12 revitalizing some of our street areas. All

13 those in favor of introduction signify by

14 saying aye.

15 MR. KING: Aye.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

18 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

19 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

20 have it and so moved.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-F. FOR

23 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO

24 EXECUTE AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH TITAN

25 TREE SERVICES INC. TO PERFORM PROFESSIONAL TREE
 84

 1 SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF SCRANTON.

 2 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

 3 entertain a motion that Item 5-F be introduced

 4 into its proper committee.

 5 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.

 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

 7 MR. SMURL: On the question?

 8 MR. KING: On the question, I'm just

 9 wondering why -- why we need Titan when we have

10 DPW workers that actually have a tree division?

11 Is this something that is beyond their scope or

12 ability?

13 MR. SMURL: I did have the same

14 question. I went to the administration again.

15 And so I was told in the past, Mr. Santoli, who

16 is our arborist does everything for --

17 basically doesn't charge the city, but he would

18 designate who removed the trees that our DPW

19 tree department could not handle over high

20 tension power lines, in between houses where we

21 simply don't have the equipment to do it or

22 enough people most of the time.

23 So any dangerous conditions such as

24 that, he would just hand it out without a bid.

25 So that is --
 85

 1 MR. KING: As long as we're not

 2 violating the DPW contract or --

 3 MR. SMURL: I agree.

 4 MR. KING: And those conditions

 5 are -- it sounds like it's happened for a long

 6 time.

 7 MR. SMURL: It is. There are some

 8 trees that are pretty much out of our reach.

 9 And if it's an emergency we have something like

10 this under contract so we're not giving out

11 free passes to our friends to cut trees down.

12 MR. KING: Right. Okay.

13 MR. SMURL: Okay?

14 MR. MCANDREW: I share the same

15 issue initially, you know, you don't want to

16 take work -- union work away from the DPW. You

17 don't. And I looked at the legislation a

18 little deeper.

19 And, you know, it stated that Titan

20 has had a working relationship with the city I

21 think 15 years it said. So that would lead me

22 to believe, of course, they're larger trees.

23 And I know a lot of the city trees have been

24 taken down over years 30 feet high. And I know

25 that DPW, they don't have the equipment.
 86

 1 MR. KING: It's beyond our

 2 capability.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, or the

 4 equipment to do, you know, so then it made

 5 sense to me -- because there's lot of old

 6 trees, a lot of old arbor trees and stuff like

 7 that that get, you know, very dangerous and 80,

 8 90 feet I've seen them come down -- being taken

 9 down. It makes sense so I'm okay with it.

10 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? Okay. All

11 those in favor of introduction signify by

12 saying aye.

13 MR. KING: Aye.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

16 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

17 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes
