20 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

21 3.A. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING

22 OF THE SCRANTON PARKING AUTHORITY HELD MARCH

23 26, 205.

24 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

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

 1 received and filed. Do any Council members

 2 have any announcements at this time?

 3 MR. MCANDREW: I have a quick one.

 4 So this Sunday, April 13th from 2 to 5 at the

 5 Ukrainian Club on Railroad Avenue, they'll be

 6 having their Easter Ham and Kielbasa raffle.

 7 There will be 15 winners of one 10 pound ham

 8 and two rings of kielbasa. That's all I have.

 9 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?

10 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll add this to

11 announcements. It is on Third Order. I was

12 happy to see that the Parking Authority passed

13 their -- put the audit out for bid. So they

14 started that process.

15 MR. SMURL: Okay.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

17 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

18 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.

19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

20 Scranton. Mr. Smurl, next week when you do the

21 moment of silence, why don't we pray for

22 spring? I'm getting fed up. I don't know how

23 many people realize it, but this week is

24 National Library Week across the country.

25 And the library it's one of the
 5

 1 gifts that we have in this country and we

 2 should all take advantage of it. I certainly

 3 did when I was growing up. And since I

 4 retired, it's one of my joys. I have

 5 Alzheimer's on both sides of my family.

 6 And I was reading about a study in

 7 which it said one of the magic bullets to

 8 protect yourself from dementia is lifelong

 9 learning. And the library certainly assists

10 anybody in doing that.

11 But a lot people think of the

12 library as a stuffy warehouse for old books.

13 And, yes, there are books there. But there's

14 so much more. I brought some of the fliers

15 about some of the activities that's going on at

16 the library.

17 May 1st, there's a presentation at

18 the Albright about how -- for seniors how to

19 protect yourself from scam artists and what to

20 do if you're a victim.

21 Here's a flier on teen programs in

22 the month of May. There's teen game night.

23 And, I mean, I don't understand these role

24 playing games, but they have it. There's a

25 Teen Creator Lab. There is a teen Festival of
 6

 1 Stories. There's an escape room for teens,

 2 never heard of that and a teen Anime Club and

 3 all kinds of things.

 4 And there is movie matinees on

 5 Wednesday, all free up at the library. Let's

 6 see, May 7th Anora; May 14th, Amelia Perez.

 7 May 21st, Baby Girl; and May 28th, Nosferatu, a

 8 gothic movie.

 9 Hey, if you like arts and crafts,

10 Knot, K-N-O-T, Knot Another Stitch Group. You

11 could learn how to crochet and knit and

12 everything else. And let's see, Super Smash

13 Brothers, ultimate 18 plus tournament. I don't

14 even know what that is. You are supposed to

15 test your skills and compete against fellow

16 gamers for people who do computer games,

17 whatever.

18 There's a book club, May 21st, The

19 Lion Women of Tehran, whatever. And then there

20 will be a history tour of the Scranton Public

21 Library itself in May, all kinds of things

22 going on.

23 And here is a real winner. Every

24 year the Friends of the Scranton Public Library

25 sponsor a bus trip. Last year we went to the
 7

 1 American Museum of Natural History in New York

 2 City. And if you saw the movie A Night at the

 3 Museum, that was the museum. It was wonderful.

 4 Okay, this year August 16th, we will

 5 be going to the Franklin Institute in

 6 Philadelphia. These bus trips are wonderful,

 7 you know, I mean, it's a nominal price, you

 8 know, it includes everything. You know, I

 9 think it's $85 if you're a member of the

10 friends, 90 if you're not.

11 If you are over 50 I think your

12 membership is like $5 a year. That allows you

13 to get discounts on buying books at our book

14 sales and all kinds of wonderful things. So

15 I'm here to tell you that you have a gift from

16 Joseph Albright and the Scranton Public

17 Library.

18 By the way, Nancy Kay Holmes, one of

19 your predecessors who sat up there, her -- her

20 namesake library in Green Ridge is open again.

21 All the ADA changes have been made. It's

22 beautiful, serves not only Scranton but

23 Dunmore.

24 So, you know, hey, do yourself a

25 favor. This is something that's there for your
 8

 1 use, the use of your children, the use of your

 2 parents, everybody. We ask no questions. We

 3 charge you no fees. Enjoy the library. Thank

 4 you.

 5 MR. SMURL: Joan, we were there. We

 6 were there waiting for you, but you didn't

 7 come.

 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: I know. I saw it.

 9 I read it in the paper. I was and I was sick.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Norma

11 Jeffries.

12 MS. JEFFRIES: Norma Jeffries,

13 Scranton resident, and it's been three weeks

14 since I've been here. And I try to keep up

15 with some of the things that were going on here

16 by looking at ECTV which is really great, but

17 my family sort of yelled at me. We're on

18 vacation, you don't have to watch that.

19 But one of the things that I wanted

20 to -- that hit me while I was away was the

21 political environment. And I met a lot of

22 people coming to City Council. I've been

23 coming for just about six years. And I've met

24 a lot of folks who are sitting out in the

25 hallway and we'll get to chitchat.
 9

 1 And quite of few of them are running

 2 for offices now. And I thought to myself, I

 3 said, this is interesting that so many people

 4 have a great interest in the City of Scranton

 5 that they want to see what they could do to

 6 make it better.

 7 So as I listened to social media as

 8 to some of the things that were being

 9 discussed, you know, I thought this is all well

10 and good. I live in Scranton. And I'm sure

11 all the other people that ride around Scranton,

12 we know where the potholes are. We know where

13 the dilapidated houses are.

14 We know where the homeless and

15 the -- they don't want me to say homeless

16 anymore. I'm trying to think of what word they

17 keep telling me -- the unhoused are. So we

18 know all of that. I don't need anybody to tell

19 me that.

20 What I need you to do, those of you

21 that are running for office, I need to you tell

22 me what is your plan. What is your plan to

23 handling these things that are deficient in the

24 City of Scranton? What is your plan to fix the

25 potholes?
 10

 1 Tell me what your plan is and then

 2 maybe I could make an intelligent decision as

 3 who to vote for. People do come and ask me,

 4 you know, who should I vote for? Who should I

 5 vote for? Listen to your candidates. Listen

 6 to what they have to say, see if their plan is

 7 going to be something that's going to be good

 8 for Scranton.

 9 Is it going to help us out any? And

10 I haven't seen that yet. So maybe I've been

11 missing it. Maybe I haven't listened to the

12 proper venues. But I haven't heard that. So

13 any of you who are running for office, it would

14 be very beneficial to not only me, but to the

15 City of Scranton to the citizens of Scranton.

16 Tell us what your plan is. Tell us

17 what you're going to do to help us as we go

18 forward in 2026. One of the other things that

19 I noticed as I was out there is that I wanted

20 to know more about the Rubicon. I was very

21 disappointed in that that that was voted on and

22 voted in for a company from what I understand

23 did not meet the requirements the first time

24 around and then to turn around and give them

25 another five-year contract.
 11

 1 So I decided and I was asking one of

 2 the people in Council here tonight, I need to

 3 find out more. What is it that we as a city

 4 would provide something to a company that was

 5 deficient in their operation and we continue to

 6 give them a budget? So that was something that

 7 was on my plate as to what I was concerned

 8 about.

 9 And, oh, another thing that I was

10 thinking about as well -- well, me and my

11 homeless -- one of the places I visited they

12 had a lot of homeless people. We're not alone

13 in this situation. I was in San Diego and I

14 was in Hawaii. And they both have unbelievable

15 homeless people. And they just sleep on the

16 street. And they pass the bill that the street

17 is theirs as well as any other citizen.

18 So, you know, this is a national

19 problem. It's not just a Scranton problem.

20 But I'm just hoping that going forward that

21 Scranton can rejuvenate and do something about

22 our homeless situation. And we're finished

23 with winter now so I guess our code blues are

24 finished for the year, well, maybe not because

25 it's supposed to be cold tonight.
 12

 1 You know, but, you know, hopefully

 2 by the time 2026 rolls around that we could

 3 have something positive, another place that we

 4 could have for the code blue situation to help

 5 those unhoused people that are out there on the

 6 street. Okay, that's all I have for tonight.

 7 Okay, thank you.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. Bob

 9 Bolus.

10 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council,

11 Bob Bolus, Scranton. You know, I'm going to

12 bring up some things here in a little different

13 way in a format. A child falls overboard or

14 off a boat or into a pool, and what does the

15 person watching them say to the child? Start

16 running. It's what you learned to do in a

17 splash park.

18 They never had the opportunity to

19 learn how to swim. The reason I bring that up,

20 we have Nay Aug turn into a mud park, used to

21 be Lake Lincoln. We all learned to swim. Now

22 we got to learn how to run on a little pad,

23 which is a joke.

24 I watched Gaughan and Cognetti at

25 Chili's. Chili's should be in Scranton, not
 13

 1 Dickson City. She's not the Mayor there. And

 2 whatever he thinks he is, he couldn't show up

 3 at his own meeting because he claimed he was

 4 ill but yet with Pelosi and Cognetti in the

 5 pouring rain in front of the courthouse.

 6 I had the Trump trailer on its way

 7 to come down there. By the time we really

 8 realized what was going on with Pelosi and all,

 9 by the time I would have got there, it was

10 breaking up. But the fun part would have been

11 the idiots that were all standing out there

12 would have want to run out in front of the

13 truck and think they were going to stop it.

14 Well, I don't stop with the truck.

15 I didn't stop in Philadelphia, Texas or

16 anywhere else. We would have came. You want

17 to commit suicide, run in front of the truck.

18 And we'll give you courtesy to show what we

19 really think about you. After we run over you,

20 we will back up over you to see if you're okay.

21 And you could take your Democrat

22 flag with you. This is our country. And what

23 I saw there was the most pathetic display of

24 our political people in this community standing

25 out there when you hit us with a 33 percent tax
 14

 1 increase, idiots that are saying, oh, your

 2 property could sell for this so that's how

 3 we're going to reassess it. It's a joke what's

 4 going on here.

 5 And we got to stop it. You got to

 6 look at Gaughan. He works for the county.

 7 He's one of our employees. We employ him.

 8 We're his employer. Where the hell does he

 9 come off thinking he could spend our money to

10 defend his political way he wants to turn

11 around and get a puppy next to him that's going

12 to do his bidding, rather than what's right for

13 the people in the community.

14 He did it here and he's trying to do

15 it there. That's why I put his head on the

16 body of a skunk. He skunked us here. He's not

17 going to get away with it over there. I'm

18 running for Mayor in Scranton as a Republican

19 write-in. I should have been able to get on

20 the ballot even though they're talking I can't

21 run or take the seat later on.

22 It's all up for expungements and

23 other things going on. But because we had a

24 rogue Republican or whatever he is, Charlie

25 Spano, he filed against it. But the law tells
 15

 1 that I could run, get on the ballot -- whether

 2 I could take the seat, that's down the road.

 3 That's the future.

 4 So the way we look at it, the past

 5 is gone because judges are quoting the past.

 6 The present is now and the future doesn't

 7 belong to any of us who's going to win, who's

 8 going to loose. But the first order if I am

 9 elected in Scranton I'll be taking down the

10 damn Biden signs off the expressway and Spruce

11 Street and taking our city back.

12 We got to turn around and start

13 looking at what is our future. You know,

14 taxpayer body -- money, the people in this

15 community, we look to the leadership. We could

16 have built a FedEx -- a flex building. And

17 you're familiar, Mr. Smurl, I'm sorry with flex

18 buildings and all that.

19 We could have built one of them and

20 kept the bubble gum factory here. We know how

21 to think out of the box, but we don't here. We

22 could have been building flex buildings in

23 other areas of the community and bringing in

24 cash dollars and saving the taxpayers this

25 ridiculous increase and the stupidity behind
 16

 1 the reassessment.

 2 You got realtors -- the only time

 3 they really do a damn thing is if they see

 4 somebody hot coming in the door, then they get

 5 active on your property. Other than that, it

 6 will sit there forever. They look at this and

 7 look at that.

 8 You can't tell us what it will bring

 9 in your opinion. And we're going to do

10 something. We're filing lawsuits. They should

11 be filed tomorrow against the assessment,

12 against the tax and against Gaughan

13 politicalizing himself at our expense to cover

14 up his issues at our expense.

15 And it's going to come to an end

16 because now the people in this community, sir,

17 are going to take Scranton and Lackawanna

18 County back. Thank you.

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

20 Les Spindler.

21 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

22 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

23 homeowner. I want to bring something up from

24 last week. Dave Dobrzyn was talking about RFK,

25 Jr., and he said a word that Councilwoman
 17

 1 Rothchild didn't like and she was trying to

 2 reprimand him.

 3 Well, it wasn't nice what he said.

 4 But the US Constitution allows him to say

 5 something like that, whether you like it or

 6 not. I've been coming to these meetings for

 7 many, many years. And years ago Judy Gatelli

 8 tried to silence us.

 9 She tried to lock us out of City

10 Hall. We had the ACLU come here and that's

11 what they said. We can't say anything vulgar,

12 can't say anything threatening, but other than

13 that, what Dave said wasn't vulgar. It wasn't

14 threatening.

15 You cannot stop him from saying

16 something like that. You might not like it,

17 but you got to live with it because if you want

18 us to bring the ACLU in again, we can do that.

19 Okay, last year North Rebecca where

20 it -- which goes along side of my house was

21 supposed to be -- it was on the paving list.

22 It wasn't paved in the spring. Oh, maybe it

23 will be paved in the fall. It wasn't paved in

24 the fall. Now, it's not on this year's paving

25 list.
 18

 1 I'd like to know what the heck is

 2 going on. Do you have to be an elected

 3 politician to get your street paved in this

 4 city? I guess that's what you have to do

 5 because that's -- they're the only ones getting

 6 their streets paved.

 7 Next thing, I brought this up quite

 8 a while ago about the big huge pave cut on

 9 Dorothy Street. Well, it was fixed quite a few

10 weeks ago but they never sealed it. If they

11 don't seal it, it's a big pave cut. Like I

12 said, they fixed it but if it's not sealed,

13 it's just going to come back up. They don't do

14 things the right way.

15 Next thing, I know Lynn Labrosky has

16 brought this up. The bridge on Broadway that

17 goes over Lackawanna River, there's concrete

18 barriers there. Why? I haven't seen anything

19 being done there for two years or whatever

20 those barriers are there. Does anybody know

21 what's going on there?

22 MR. SMURL: It's to restrict traffic

23 and restrict the weight.

24 MR. SPINDLER: Well, why don't they

25 just fix the bridge instead of restricting
 19

 1 weight? Why do you want to restrict traffic?

 2 People go --

 3 MR. SMURL: So they don't have three

 4 full lanes of traffic on the bridge at one

 5 time.

 6 MR. SPINDLER: I think that's

 7 ridiculous. Okay, next thing, I said this

 8 before for years it's all I heard was Joe Biden

 9 get bashed here. Well, the way our -- the

10 shape our country's in now, it's ridiculous

11 with all of these tariffs.

12 It was on Good Morning America

13 yesterday even Trump's allies are against him

14 now with all these tariffs. They said Ted Cruz

15 and Rand Paul, two of his biggest supporters

16 said he's going to ruin the Republican party

17 for years if he doesn't stop with these

18 tariffs. Even his own party is turning against

19 him.

20 And the local 28 news did a story.

21 Maya Angelou Memoir, a holocaust book were

22 among those pulled from the Naval Academy and

23 Library in a DEI purge. That's -- this

24 administration is doing so much bad for this

25 country it's unbelievable.
 20

 1 He's a racist. He's an antisemitic

 2 and I don't think there's anybody he likes but

 3 himself. So as I said last week, after this

 4 guy's done with everything he's doing, people

 5 are going to wish Joe Biden was back in office.

 6 Thank you.

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

 8 Lenny Srebro.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, can

10 we find out about the history of that North

11 Rebecca and why it was removed from the list

12 and what the plans are moving forward?

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: And then the Dorothy

15 Street, was that -- was that -- was that pave

16 cut part of that walkthrough that we talked

17 about in caucus?

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: No. That was a

19 separate pave cut. It was paved. However, it

20 wasn't sealed properly according to

21 Mr. Spindler.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay, if we could --

23 MR. SREBRO: Good evening, Council,

24 Lenny Srebro, Keyser Valley flood victim. But

25 ironically, I'm not here to talk about the
 21

 1 flooding problem tonight. I just recently

 2 found out about the proposed solar panel farm

 3 that is supposed to be put in up the Morgan

 4 Highway a little bit up the hill there.

 5 I want you to know that I lived

 6 right there for about 35 years before I moved

 7 to where I'm at now. I'd like to think I know

 8 almost every inch of that mountain.

 9 I most -- over the years, I mostly

10 rode a four wheel drive ATV on every single

11 trail and I made my own trail where you

12 couldn't make trails. I did multiple hikes

13 with different people by foot all over that

14 mountain.

15 And I also camped all over that

16 mountain. That field that the solar panel is

17 proposed to be on is a right on top of an

18 incline that goes down to Pike Street where

19 there's about eight homes there with families

20 and that's where I used to live.

21 I notice after heavy storms up on

22 that mountain on that field after a heavy rain

23 when the water pooled, it would be all kinds of

24 neat colors like a rainbow. There's stuff in

25 that ground that is just has been always coming
 22

 1 up to the top that it goes down to, like I

 2 said, Pike Street where neighbors are.

 3 There are also many mine shafts

 4 right there in that mountain. One was about a

 5 100 yards right behind the house I lived in.

 6 And it was wide open until after I moved. I

 7 understand that there was a super fund project

 8 that they did many years ago to clean that up,

 9 the toxic waste they were illegally dumping in

10 there.

11 The way that I understand it is you

12 can't touch that ground, you know, no doubt

13 about it they are going to have to dig it up.

14 They're going to have level off that field

15 because it is rough. And I understand that you

16 guys okayed it, you know. It's all toxic waste

17 under there.

18 And here's something to think about.

19 When I moved there in the mid80s, my daughter

20 at that time was a toddler. She grew up there

21 until she got married in her 20s. She

22 developed MS, multiple sclerosis. She's in the

23 advanced stages of it now.

24 I come from a large family, 10

25 immediate brothers and sisters, 13 uncles.
 23

 1 They all have children. And they all have

 2 grandchildren, none have MS. We can't prove

 3 it. But we do believe that MS was caused by

 4 growing up there with all of those chemicals

 5 and the toxins that are buried below there.

 6 Thanks for your time.

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

 8 Ron Ellman.

 9 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, my Council.

10 Last week I heard Princess Paige on my car

11 stereo. But because of all of the background

12 noise of her patting herself on the back

13 continuously, I finally turned it off.

14 You know, I should appreciate her

15 more coming down the hill to spend some time

16 with her subjects. This is cherished time to

17 see her, I guess.

18 You know, for years I've

19 occasionally referred to the sour stench of

20 graft and corruption and favoritism going on

21 right here in this area, just this little

22 circle around here.

23 It seems finally it just got so

24 overwhelming there wasn't no way to submerge it

25 anymore. If just this minute amount that was
 24

 1 exposed in the paper the last few days, just

 2 think what is going on right under our noses in

 3 this city.

 4 Things get out that are never

 5 printed or never told to the public. Two days

 6 before Mr. Courtright problems rose, people at

 7 the Taurus Club were talking about it. This is

 8 the same here. These people knew a lot of

 9 these things. It just was kept quiet from

10 voters, from the people paying for everything.

11 That's got to quit.

12 You people don't vote. You

13 don't -- too many people just have no interest

14 in what's going on right under their noses.

15 It's a shame. This could be such a good city

16 with some -- there's so much waste, wasted

17 money on grants to restaurants and grants to

18 failing businesses like the grant to the

19 Electric Building.

20 That was tax money just completely

21 thrown away. A lady told me today I am

22 completely in favor of the park's system. She

23 told me according to the school records,

24 there's not enough children in that area to

25 warrant this little swimming area.
 25

 1 And I don't know. It ought to be

 2 thought of maybe that the money could be used

 3 better to try to clean up Capouse Avenue.

 4 Unless people vote, these are the results you

 5 get. Scranton -- Scranton isn't just the

 6 Electric City, I think Scranton's become the

 7 crooked city.

 8 I talked to, like I always say, two,

 9 three people a week, four people. Now, a month

10 to the -- I mean, months to the coming

11 elections, our Mayor decides to try to make up

12 for four years of nothing, nothing for the

13 people except downtown paving some streets and

14 so forth. It's too late. I sincerely hope her

15 political career is over. Thank you.

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

17 Barb O'Malley.

18 MS. O'MALLEY: Hello, Barbara

19 O'Malley, Scranton resident. Last week

20 Mr. Smurl brought to the attention of the

21 public a letter titled Conflict of Interest

22 Concern, Todd Pousley Candidate For City

23 Council.

24 It was written by Attorney Brendan

25 Fitzgerald of the law firm of Joyce, Carmody
 26

 1 and Moran. Attorney Fitzgerald did not

 2 identify himself as a city resident, nor

 3 representing a city resident. So are we to

 4 believe that mister -- Attorney Fitzgerald just

 5 woke up one day and said I think I'll write a

 6 letter about Scranton City Council race?

 7 A reporter from the Scranton Times

 8 efforts to reach members of the law firm were

 9 unsuccessful. I hope the reporter tries again

10 because I would like to know why they

11 interjected themselves into the city elections.

12 They're a Pittston based law firm.

13 Mr. Smurl directed the City Clerk to

14 contact the State Ethics Commission, maybe they

15 will get an answer. I hope so because if this

16 is left unchecked, anyone running for office

17 could be targeted like Mr. Pousley was.

18 As for conflicts of interest, across

19 the Commonwealth employed men and women from

20 various professions serve as elected or

21 appointed members of boards and governing

22 bodies. If a potential conflict with their

23 business or personal life comes before them,

24 the ethical option is to recuse oneself from

25 the discussion and vote.
 27

 1 Surely the attorneys at Joyce,

 2 Carmody, and Moran know that. The public

 3 should also be aware that this law firm is

 4 poised to be awarded a lucrative contract by

 5 the majority of the Scranton School Board,

 6 which is apparently unfazed by their

 7 interference in another governing body's

 8 election.

 9 That does not bode well for the

10 residents of Scranton. In closing, it is my

11 hope that Scranton residents do not fall for

12 these backroom shenanigans. We have come too

13 far to go back to the good 'ol boys days.

14 Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Smurl, for

15 bringing that to our attention.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Miss

17 O'Malley. That's the end of our sign-in sheet.

18 Anyone else wish to address Council?

19 MR. COYNE: Greetings, Council, Tom

20 Coyne, Minooka. First, I'm not going to talk

21 about Rubicon. But I'm going to mention 7-C

22 this plan revision. So we're getting free

23 revisions now? We have a 214 gallon a day

24 sewer system revision and the financial impact

25 listed is none.
 28

 1 In the last three years I believe

 2 I've never seen a cover sheet come before this

 3 body for a project that is actually had a

 4 financial impact listed as any other thing than

 5 none. Why is that?

 6 Next, we had recently had raises

 7 that were pushed for some in Council -- by

 8 Council for some in the city but -- who have

 9 not had raises for many years. Too long to go

10 without raises was said. This was not about

11 those.

12 But we have the University who was

13 at one point paying a pilot of $225,000 a year

14 and then dropped it. And now it's down to

15 150,000 after receiving 65 million dollars in a

16 bond. I know Council was going to get tough

17 stopping $100,000 from a racetrack gambling

18 fund.

19 It's funny how much the church gets

20 from sinning. In a push for a more equitable

21 pilot donation, the church nonprofit grab has

22 been expanding as the pilot has been dropping.

23 As mentioned that they make 325 million in

24 endowments and I believe another 300 million in

25 student enrollments.
 29

 1 So that's around 625 million dollars

 2 and they now pay 150,000 as a pilot. Back in

 3 2010, Council was mad as well. The University

 4 of Scranton had a total revenue of 20 -- 227.8

 5 million dollars and a contribution for that tax

 6 year for the pilot was $175,000.

 7 Council said it was too low and they

 8 consider it a small contribution compared to

 9 their total revenue. So in 15 years they've

10 increased the land they own, both income in the

11 coffers, increased government funding request,

12 the total revenue was increased from 227

13 million to 625 million.

14 And we look at the 2010 pilot under

15 payment as Council claimed of 175,000 noted 15

16 years ago. And today we're getting $25,000

17 less than that. I guess we're all fine with

18 that and we have no problem that in 2010 they

19 were paying more than they are now even though

20 they made about 400,000 -- 400 million more and

21 they still need money from us. They still need

22 those donations.

23 Let's talk about the pilot and HUP

24 test. I remember when this issue came up

25 before this body, the county was supposed to
 30

 1 have paperwork from those nonprofits in their

 2 files. What was said during the HUP test is

 3 that they were going to require the charities

 4 to provide the information that should have

 5 been there.

 6 If I build on my property without a

 7 permit, the city is not going to let me just

 8 continue to build until I get the proper

 9 paperwork in hand. They're going to stop me

10 dead.

11 We all know the answer. So if

12 they're required as a nonprofit to file

13 paperwork with the county and they have not,

14 then they do not qualify and should be taxed

15 until they have the proper paperwork in place.

16 But we'll wait eight months and there is no

17 incentive to comply because we don't push

18 forward on it.

19 Last for tonight, I watched the

20 Mayor's state of the union address -- the State

21 of the City Address and I heard all good

22 things. But no one here talked about the loss

23 of funds and the potential need for bonds. It

24 was mentioned that she lobbied for DC

25 advocating for tax exemptions for municipal
 31

 1 bonds.

 2 And I remember at one point we had a

 3 paid lobbyist for Scranton. What happened to

 4 that? She mentioned about needing to raise

 5 money or possibly floating the bond for the

 6 emergency operation center because we do not

 7 have the federal funding anymore.

 8 How come that wasn't addressed here,

 9 only the good? We have a State of the City

10 that looks more like a political campaign

11 flyer. Who paid for this? It says on here

12 that we earned 6.6 million dollars.

13 That's fantastic when most of it

14 came from the 67 million dollars that sat in

15 the Recovery Act funds. It was not made by

16 this body or this city. It was federal money

17 that sat. So no one here deserves the credit

18 for that for money that sat in for federal

19 funds.

20 I'll continue this on another day

21 because there's a lot more to go through.

22 Thank you and have a good night.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council,

25 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Hear me twice because
 32

 1 I always choose my words once. Play of words

 2 is going on beyond good taste and reason both.

 3 I am proceeding accordingly. While other

 4 choose parties I choose the good people of

 5 Scranton.

 6 While others plot their next move

 7 for self-satisfaction, I think about what I

 8 could do to help our in this current climate.

 9 Here's some things that I've come up with so

10 far. Crime in our police department, the

11 following isn't in any particular order.

12 There's so many things that have changed,

13 either ignored or done poorly.

14 First thing is to get the politics

15 out of our Scranton Police Department. Switch

16 the Scranton Police testing to which is

17 uniform with the State Police, bring back our

18 Drug Task Force, bring back the Public Safety

19 Director. He will be promoted from detective's

20 ranks and will fully investigate every local

21 unwanted opioid related death.

22 There is no statute of limitations

23 on old cold cases. And there will be some sort

24 of closure if we could possibly find that;

25 utilize our drone police officers as often as
 33

 1 possible, prosecute crimes including opioid

 2 related deaths to the fullest extent using all

 3 resources available, find canine teams that

 4 could detect drugs. There's 168 hours a week.

 5 Every minute of each day needs to have proper

 6 coverage.

 7 We also need to update the

 8 technology for real time video at ever major

 9 thoroughfare manned and operated and watched 24

10 hours a day. Some plan for the roads and

11 infrastructure, promote from within. The next

12 DPW Director will be from the ranks.

13 No one does it better than our own

14 employees. Pave cuts, manhole covers, the

15 current administration paid an outside firm to

16 inspect our pave cuts. They canceled the

17 contract. Did we ever get our money back,

18 500,000?

19 The fix, make the utilities

20 responsible for each pave cut and every

21 deficient manhole cover. We will have five

22 pave cut inspectors. We will increase the

23 daily fine for not adhering to our current

24 ordinances from $100 a day to a thousand

25 dollars a day.
 34

 1 Our own eyes on our roads are

 2 critical to our future. Road maintenance,

 3 deferring all costs is very important. Our

 4 amazing DPW employees will fill the potholes,

 5 seal the cracks to prevent future damage,

 6 switching out all dull signs, provide

 7 crosswalks and stop blocks one lock at a time.

 8 They make a noticeable difference.

 9 We will make PA Water responsible for the

10 maintenance and upkeep of 88 percent of the

11 storm drains that they are responsible for. We

12 need an inhouse engineer who will reside in the

13 City of Scranton.

14 We have railroad bridges and tracks.

15 We'll make each entity responsible for

16 replacement of these old lower bridges that are

17 constantly getting hit by trucks that are over

18 100 years old. These are some things that are

19 owed to the good people of Scranton.

20 We will become the blueprint locally

21 for good government. It seems like other

22 municipalities do more with less. I want to

23 apologize to the other municipalities. We will

24 get this thing right. Everyone loves the

25 underdog.
 35

 1 We've had three horrible mayors. We

 2 cannot afford another one. Forty million

 3 dollars from Doherty, stuck us with it. We had

 4 to sell the Sewer Authority. We had a mayor

 5 that ended up in prison. And then we had Wayne

 6 Evans who set us up for a good future just to

 7 be riddled by somebody from out of town who

 8 doesn't care with an expansion team.

 9 We could do a lot better. I know we

10 can. I trust that the people of Scranton need

11 to do the right thing. We have a railway

12 system coming through in the not so distant

13 future. We are nowhere near ready for this.

14 Every single week there are good

15 people that come before this Council and take

16 what they're saying to heart on the local

17 things. I never discuss anything nationally,

18 to each their own. My focus is on the local

19 stuff.

20 I know how to fix this stuff. I've

21 been an advisor to the Connor's administration

22 for 12 years. There's a lot that I've done for

23 this city. There's a lot more that I could do.

24 I've been challenged more so than most people

25 in life.
 36

 1 And I have been told that I am the

 2 type of person that could do this. I never

 3 give up. We don't need a failure. We need

 4 somebody to turn this city around, Mancini for

 5 Scranton. Change is coming. Good evening,

 6 Council Council.

 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 8 MS. LABROSKY: Good evening,

 9 Council, Lynn Labrosky, homeowner, business

10 owner. And tonight I'm a pretty disgusted

11 taxpayer. So I have to talk about this. I got

12 up here last week and said we should keep the

13 podium to local politics.

14 I did attend the hands off protest,

15 if you want to call it that, this past Saturday

16 downtown in front of the Courthouse and across

17 the street at the Federal Building and also the

18 post office. I thought it would have been a

19 good opportunity for me to advertise that I am

20 running for Mayor in Scranton this year as a

21 Republican candidate.

22 And my husband actually looped

23 around the block, dropped me off on the corner

24 and I immediately called him and asked him to

25 come back and get me because I did not feel
 37

 1 safe. There was zero police presence. There

 2 were hundreds of people.

 3 I guess some of them Googled my

 4 billboard and felt that they knew who I was so

 5 I was no longer welcome there. And I was

 6 confronted with lots of different things

 7 including someone sitting in front of my

 8 vehicle and other people joining them and

 9 blocking us from going down the road. Again,

10 there was zero police presence.

11 So that was very discouraging. And

12 in a city that I was born and raised in and own

13 a home and a business in and actually I've

14 owned two homes because one burned down, I was

15 booed in my own city. I was flipped the

16 finger. And there was a lot of foul language

17 being used at this event where there were

18 children present. So that really bothered me.

19 So as much as I don't want to get up

20 here and talk about anything other than local

21 issues, I felt that our current Mayor used that

22 platform, not as a protest but more of a rally

23 because she is running as an incumbent for

24 reelection this year.

25 And so I'm going to leave it at that
 38

 1 because I do want to take time to get to

 2 another issue that I have other things to talk

 3 about but this came to me today. So two

 4 gentlemen reached out to me today, Keith

 5 McPhillips and Pete Williams.

 6 And Park Place River Association and

 7 HMA are hosting a fishing derby, which is I

 8 believe the 18th annual. It's for all

 9 children. It's ages 3 to 16. Again, it's May

10 3rd. And it's located on Grove Street behind

11 Ritter's Bar next to DPW in Pine Brook.

12 Anybody from Scranton would know that area.

13 And then also, the registration is

14 at 9 a.m. The event starts at 10. It ends at

15 1. And from what I -- the information that I

16 gathered -- I hope I could get this all in, but

17 they have a commission of officers that raised

18 $4,000 for the event which is to include tents,

19 food, prizes and free fishing poles for any

20 child that doesn't have one.

21 Also, the Motorcycle Club raised

22 $2,000 to pay for the fish for this event. And

23 so these people in our community that care

24 about our community went through a lot of

25 trouble and raised a lot of money to have the
 39

 1 event. And I'm -- sorry, I'm really upset

 2 right now.

 3 But they reached out to the Mayor

 4 who refused to return their phone call and

 5 requested using the mobile stage for the event

 6 so that they could have a platform where they

 7 could do the prizes and other things that

 8 they're doing that day.

 9 And I think this is just a terrific

10 thing that people are doing for our children in

11 the community because we don't want them on

12 drugs. We don't want them joining gangs. We

13 want them to have something to do. There's

14 absolutely nothing in the city to do for kids,

15 especially kids that aren't old enough to go to

16 a bar.

17 And then the ones that are, that's

18 all there is for them to do. So I'm kind of

19 going off a little bit here and I normally

20 don't do that. But so then they were told by

21 someone in City Hall that the stage is

22 available for a donation of $557.

23 Now, I'm not really sure where

24 that -- they got that amount from. But $557

25 sounds odd. But a donation is any amount. So
 40

 1 that would be a fee in my opinion. And last

 2 year they were told there was a donation

 3 involved but they sold the stage to the highest

 4 bidder.

 5 So now that would become an auction.

 6 Can these children and this event, can they use

 7 that stage? Is there anything that you could

 8 do as a Council. And if there is a fee

 9 involved or it's a donation, maybe 100 bucks

10 each. There's five of yous. Maybe that could

11 cover it. I'll throw in the other 57.

12 I mean, it's not a lot to ask for a

13 really great event that's been going on for

14 years for the children in the community. The

15 Mayor won't return the call. I don't

16 understand why.

17 I have so many other things I want

18 to say but, you know, I'm over time. But, I

19 mean, come on, we can't come together as a

20 community and help our kids? The little

21 leagues and the finishing derby and the things

22 that are being provided in our community for

23 our children so they're not in trouble so they

24 are engaged and they have things to do and

25 they're active and they're not on they're --
 41

 1 let them go fishing, you know?

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 3 MS. LABROSKY: Hand a man a fish and

 4 you teach for a day. But if you teach them how

 5 to fish and can we do that for our children,

 6 please? Can we make a decision as a Council to

 7 do that?

 8 MR. SMURL: The Show Mobile is

 9 available online. You have to go to the DPW

10 website and you order it right online.

11 MS. LABROSKY: But they said they

12 called the Mayor. She would not return their

13 phone call.

14 MR. SMURL: All I could tell you is

15 what I know --

16 MS. LABROSKY: And they did get

17 information back that it's a $557 donation.

18 MR. SMURL: If you go --

19 MR. KING: There's a process. You

20 have to go online. All the organizations that

21 utilize that, they go on. They fill out the

22 application, apply for it.

23 MS. LABROSKY: Well, apparently they

24 did that last year but it got sold to a higher

25 bidder.
 42

 1 MR. SMURL: Okay. Thank you.

 2 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: I'll speak to this in

 4 Fifth Order.

 5 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you.

 6 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council,

 7 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxes paid this year.

 8 Once again, we talked about tax exempts and

 9 pilots and pilots are a pittance. And what we

10 really need is for the state to take

11 responsibility for their Constitution and

12 compensate Scranton and cities like it for the

13 excess 40 percent, 40 percent -- and I'm not

14 criticizing anything anybody does as a tax

15 exempt.

16 There's a lot of things are very

17 noble. And once again, we got shtooked with

18 the gas company. There's no hearing tomorrow

19 on our neck of the woods. It's all down in

20 Luzerne County and if you can take time off or

21 get down there and find out where you're

22 supposed to go.

23 When the water company had their

24 hearing, they had it up at Marywood College in

25 Dunmore. We had no hearing here. And I fault
 43

 1 Scranton politicians for part of that. It

 2 should have never been done. I got treated

 3 like some homeless bum that was looking to come

 4 in out of the cold or something.

 5 Nobody knew where the building was

 6 that at the hearing. I got there halfway and

 7 when I heard the amount that they were

 8 offering, I thought, oh, well, I'll never --

 9 how much money is going to be left after this

10 is all done. And I was right there, not much.

11 Utilities, fix the potholes. We

12 need inspectors before and after for these

13 potholes. There's several places on Crown

14 Avenue already. It's been recently paved and

15 really crummy repairs. So we really need

16 somebody to inspect before and after or at

17 least after.

18 And they shouldn't be in town

19 without a permit. Now, I'll keep my comments

20 lacking of profane. But back when Robert

21 Kennedy, Jr., was being considered for the

22 Health and Human Services, I saw a family

23 member on a newscast, possibly Caroline. I may

24 be wrong there, the sweet Caroline girl --

25 accused Robert, Jr., of distributing drugs
 44

 1 including heroin to family members and a deadly

 2 overdose resulted from heroin.

 3 And Vitamin A poisoning, in Texas

 4 kids are coming in. He's recommending Vitamin

 5 A as a substitute for vaccine for measles. And

 6 by the way, it's in New Mexico and Kansas and

 7 Oklahoma now. And they're coming in with liver

 8 damage.

 9 Hardly one percent of the population

10 needs a good does of Vitamin A. The rest, six

11 hours later -- he attended the funeral of a

12 girl that passed away last week from measles.

13 Six hours later -- first he was saying, well,

14 we need vaccinations.

15 Six hours later he's quoting

16 quackery. And by the way, he also fired a man

17 this week who is Donald Trump's savior for

18 developing this treatment that wasn't available

19 in public for anybody. It was like $120,000 or

20 $200,000.

21 I'm really -- don't expect things to

22 improve for Scranton with the federal

23 government. The situation is in -- 6 to 10

24 trillion dollars lost in the stockmarket in the

25 last two months and most of it the last week or
 45

 1 two.

 2 Laura Loomer here, 911 conspirator

 3 theorist, she talked to Trump and a four star

 4 general was fired from the National Security

 5 Council along with two or three other

 6 employees. And she's calling for execution of

 7 Trump's opponents.

 8 And April 4th he went to his golf

 9 game and four soldiers were -- lost their lives

10 in Lithuania on a drill. And he didn't -- he

11 wasn't there to receive them. You know, he

12 don't care about soldiers. He doesn't care

13 about anything. Thank you. Have a good night.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

15 MR. SIMRELL: Good evening, Council.

16 My name is Bailey Simrell. Once again I'm back

17 to talk about Rubicon Routeware and the

18 illegal -- the illegal irregularities,

19 procedural flaws and more.

20 Actually also this is new but I

21 didn't realize this, the blog post on the

22 city's website, the press release from February

23 25th, they actually list in here the initial

24 three-year contract with Rubicon was for

25 $165,000.
 46

 1 In legislation to be introduced by

 2 City Council this week, the software only cost

 3 of Rubicon will be $33,805.20 per year for the

 4 next five years. That's not true. They didn't

 5 mention the price increases year over year.

 6 So going back to the timeline, that

 7 was the same day as the caucus, same day that

 8 the IT Director neglected to mention the price

 9 increases due -- after a direct question from

10 one of the Council members to the caucus.

11 Then on March 1st, I didn't ask for

12 this, but I got into a Facebook discussion with

13 the IT Director. I had a bunch of questions,

14 never got answers. On the same day I talked to

15 four DPW workers who basically countered

16 everything he had said and I had valid

17 questions, didn't get any answers.

18 Then on March 4th in the Council

19 meeting, the new contract was proposed marked

20 with draft all over it. Everybody has these

21 documents and offer good through January 1st,

22 2025.

23 On this same day I raised

24 performance and more like product concerns,

25 those kind of went unanswered by most of the
 47

 1 Council. And then on the 11th when Council

 2 voted on a 3-2 despite objections from

 3 Councilman -- Council members Schuster and

 4 McAndrew and multiple citizens, it was made

 5 known that there was an unpaid invoice for

 6 January to March confirmed the unauthorized use

 7 of this software before the contract was ever

 8 approved by Council.

 9 So the administration unilaterally

10 decided that they were going to intermittently

11 use the software before you guys approved it.

12 And it's like the answer was, oh, yeah, there's

13 an invoice but we didn't pay it yet.

14 And if we don't -- if Council

15 doesn't agree to the contract tonight, the

16 Solicitor said he was sure that there would

17 probably be a legal action from Rubicon. Well,

18 what would be the basis for that legal action?

19 We didn't sign the renewal yet. So

20 what's the point of these meetings if the

21 administration just does whatever they want?

22 This is like theater. What's the point of all

23 of you guys talking? What's the point of all

24 of us coming here if they just do whatever they

25 want?
 48

 1 I think this is a huge deal. Then

 2 on March 19th, the Mayor came up to me at an

 3 event. I didn't ask for this either -- accused

 4 me of alleging corruption on her part

 5 mis -- representing my comment that Routeware

 6 is Portland, Oregon based was interesting. I

 7 still think it's interesting. That's all I

 8 said.

 9 She dismissed interim use concerns

10 saying Rubicon wasn't upset so there's no

11 aggrieved party. Well, the taxpayers and the

12 DPW workers are the aggrieved party in this

13 instance.

14 On March 18th and March 25th Council

15 meetings, I asked who authorized the interim

16 use and why no holdover existed, no answers

17 emerged. So today I have some key concerns and

18 calls to action. Rubicon operated for 70 -- 70

19 plus days without a valid contract or Council

20 approval accruing unpaid invoices. Who

21 authorized this and under what budget?

22 The draft renewals expired offer

23 good through date questions its enforceability.

24 Why wouldn't we get the date amended on the

25 contract before we put it into the record and
 49

 1 signed it?

 2 Attorney Gilbride made a warning

 3 that there would be a legal action from Rubicon

 4 if we voted no on it that night before the

 5 vote. How could we say that and what was the

 6 basis for that comment?

 7 Rubicon promised $395,000 in annual

 8 savings but there's still no before and after

 9 on these proven savings. The administration

10 acted before approval and the Mayor dismissed

11 my concerns. I think this is a big deal. And

12 I think it undermines this Council's

13 legislative power.

14 So I think you guys should be trying

15 to figure out answers for who authorized this,

16 under what budget and authority and what

17 specific legal grounds did Rubicon have if you

18 guys were to vote no because that doesn't make

19 any sense to me. Thank you.

20 MR. SMURL: Thanks. Attorney

21 Gilbride, is there an explanation for how would

22 we use Rubicon for 30 days, 60 days without a

23 contract?

24 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, that happens,

25 Mr. President, in all levels of government.
 50

 1 And it happens just in private industry as

 2 well. I can't speak for Rubicon. And that day

 3 that I made the statement about a potential

 4 suit, that's true. There could be a potential

 5 suit.

 6 I don't know if Rubicon would do

 7 that. I have no idea. I don't work for

 8 Rubicon. That being said, there is nothing

 9 unusual for a company particularly when they're

10 in negotiations and when they're looking, they

11 know, in fact, that this body was considering

12 legislation to extend the contract.

13 But somebody would have to talk to

14 somebody from Rubicon to find out why they took

15 the chance of not getting paid for the two

16 months that they were allowing the city to use

17 it outside of the contract.

18 MR. KING: So is it fair to say they

19 took a risk?

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Correct. And

21 that's exactly -- that happens -- I don't have

22 to tell you, Mr. King, you're working for a

23 business that deals with government

24 (inaudible) -- it happens all the time in these

25 situations. So it's not unusual by any means
 51

 1 that something like that would happen.

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, the

 3 invoice from January to March, can we find out

 4 if that was an invoice for work done during

 5 January or March or if that was a holdover

 6 invoice from -- from prior to December of '24?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: And then if it is, in

 9 deed, from work done January to March, can we

10 find out who it was that authorized that and

11 where it came from?

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

15 MR. LITTLE: Hello, I'm Rik Little,

16 property owner, taxpayer candidate --

17 Independent candidate for Mayor of Scranton. I

18 would like to talk about what I see as the

19 overriding problem -- I've been talking about

20 this for a while.

21 I've gotten sidetracked with looking

22 into this Chris McNulty case where he's in jail

23 for $50,000 and the police officer -- a

24 Scranton Police Officer doesn't show up for the

25 preliminary hearing on March 27th. And it's
 52

 1 postponed until tomorrow.

 2 But what bothers me is the economics

 3 of all of this. You know, it's like if on the

 4 spot if a hospital employee can point to

 5 somebody and say he's a danger to himself or

 6 somebody else that we could take his liberty.

 7 That appears to be exactly what happened. They

 8 tied him up and then the police come.

 9 And the police, of course, go on the

10 side of the security guard and they say, you

11 know, in the paper, you know, that he's

12 homeless. I'm still trying to find out who

13 coined him homeless and he attacks security

14 guards.

15 But apparently he was tied up and he

16 was spitting at them. And it doesn't make

17 sense. And the problem is the way I see it is,

18 you know, justice delayed is justice denied.

19 And it's a just a fact that if a person has a

20 302 or a 1551 on them, they pay for it.

21 And if it's a homeless guy, Medicaid

22 pays for it. So the way the money flows, it's

23 a win/win situation for the city. But it's a

24 complete injustice due to the no due process in

25 the judicial branch. And I see that as the
 53

 1 biggest problem.

 2 Are there any federal grant writers

 3 on -- in the -- within the legislative branch

 4 of the Scranton government?

 5 MR. SMURL: I'm certain there are.

 6 MR. LITTLE: There are?

 7 MR. SMURL: I would believe so.

 8 MR. LITTLE: Yeah, I'd like to look

 9 into that because -- because it seems like

10 they're following the laws of these judges and

11 just what has been going on with the

12 Commissioners the last month, you know, it has

13 all to do with the Home Rule Charter and it's

14 up to the Court of Common Pleas judge. And

15 they have Republican judges and Democrat

16 judges.

17 And it just doesn't seem -- it's not

18 constitutional because there's no check and

19 balances on anything. It's like we're booming

20 ahead like the Chris McNulty case. He's in

21 jail, you know, he's charged with, you know,

22 all of these things. That's how they --

23 prosecutors were -- overcharged him. He spit.

24 He said, "Do you want me to spit on you again?"

25 And, you know, the lawyers are
 54

 1 calling in. And there are no lawyers here.

 2 There really are none. You know, I found out

 3 that, you know, Lackawanna Pro Bono and

 4 Northeast Penn Legal, they don't represent you.

 5 They're in with the judiciary. They get paid.

 6 But, you know, just like the Area

 7 Agency on Aging when they closed the health

 8 department in the county, and they use that.

 9 And last weekend, you know, all of these people

10 protesting, these are the NGOs. Taxpayers paid

11 for these people to be bused in and come into

12 Scranton and, you know, it's a long thing to

13 explain.

14 But it's the same thing that

15 happened, you know, that was explained in this

16 book with our Mayor being from Portland, this

17 is a book by a guy from Portland. If you read

18 the book, he explains how Soros's open society

19 funded all the people in the George Floyd

20 peaceful protest. And that's our government

21 that's working. We have to get our government

22 back. Thank you.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little.

24 Is there anyone else?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.
 55

 1 MOTIONS.

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

 3 any motions or comments?

 4 MR. KING: Just a few comments. It

 5 was mentioned that there hasn't been really any

 6 paving done. That's not true. Over -- I don't

 7 have the list in front of me. But just some of

 8 the streets that I know have been paid, North

 9 Washington Avenue, Marion Street, Meadow

10 Avenue, Hemlock Street, Mountain Lake Road,

11 East Elm Street, Cherry Street, Birch Street,

12 Derby Avenue, Roland Avenue.

13 So we can't say -- and there's a lot

14 more than what I just read there. Those are

15 ones that I'm just picking off the top of my

16 head. So there has been paving going on for

17 the last -- at least the three and a half years

18 that I've been here.

19 And as far as pools are concerned, I

20 know a lot of people are -- seems like a lot of

21 people are running for Mayor. Everybody's

22 complaining that there's -- that they're going

23 to build pools.

24 Well, they're going to be fortunate

25 that if they get elected Mayor that almost all
 56

 1 of the pools they are going to built. It's a

 2 process. It takes time. They have to be

 3 designed. You have to get the funding. But we

 4 have pools being built at Nay Aug. We have a

 5 pool being fixed in -- up at Connell Park.

 6 We have a new pool being built at

 7 Weston Field and a skate park on top of that.

 8 There's splash pads going over on Capouse

 9 Avenue. So whoever gets to be the next Mayor

10 is going to be in good shape because the pools

11 are going to be ready or 2026 I guess we'll

12 have a new mayor.

13 As far as I sit here and I listen --

14 and I don't like to get into national politics

15 either. But I have to sit here and listen to

16 it usually every Tuesday night. It's

17 interesting how people come and bash and, you

18 know, Biden -- the former President Biden and

19 Biden Street. Yet, the present individual that

20 sits in the White House, he made a prediction.

21 He said we're going to have a crash.

22 And we're going to have a crash like a 1929

23 crash if she gets in. And he said

24 furthermore -- let's see. Here we go. "You'll

25 have a depression the likes of which you've
 57

 1 never seen.

 2 Your 401K will go to hell and it

 3 will be a very, very sad day for the country."

 4 Well, guess what, our 401ks all just went to

 5 hell in the last two weeks. As was pointed out

 6 earlier 6 and half trillion dollars have been

 7 lost in the stock market, have dropped.

 8 The Dow has dropped 5,994 points

 9 since December. So if this is making America

10 great again, wow, where we going? Thank you.

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

12 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

13 comments?

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

15 Back a few months ago we -- I discussed that

16 there was some plans for the West Scranton

17 corridor. And this is the area located at

18 Euclid Avenue and North Main Avenue on the

19 railroad side. There's a large field there on

20 the side abuts the railroad tracks.

21 And there was grant money allocated

22 there. It went to the Scranton Redevelopment

23 Authority. There was going to be an entrance

24 there to West Scranton and there's going to be

25 signage put up saying Welcome to West Scranton
 58

 1 or Welcome to Tripp Park.

 2 I had some questions into the

 3 administration and they sent me some answers

 4 back about this. But I haven't had an update

 5 since. So I'd like to ask, Mr. Voldenberg,

 6 when it comes to that project, can we ask when

 7 was the grant awarded, how much was the grant

 8 for -- I believe it was $750,000, what was the

 9 timeline on the grant and what work is to be

10 completed and when will the work start?

11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

12 questions.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. We did

14 talk a little bit about in caucus Penn

15 Ambulance we had Penn Ambulance come in for a

16 caucus. We spoke with them. Out of that

17 meeting it was a request of Council that the

18 administration speak with Penn Ambulance to

19 move forward with some sort of plan for

20 ambulance services in the city.

21 We were told that some informal

22 conversations may have happened. Can we find

23 out if, in deed, any meeting have occurred with

24 Penn Ambulance? And if not, do they expect to

25 have a meeting in the near future?
 59

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

 2 Schuster.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And then

 4 when it comes to the DPW contract, I know we've

 5 been getting answers saying that it's being

 6 worked on, the administration is working on it

 7 with DPW. But can we find out have there been

 8 any meetings, what are the dates of the

 9 meetings and are there any meetings set up for

10 the near future?

11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that

12 information.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

14 That's all, Mr. Smurl.

15 MR. SMURL: Dr. Rothchild, do you

16 have any motions or comments?

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. First, the

18 curb cut that we have been asking for at Colfax

19 and Olive, I still haven't received any

20 additional updates from what I've given last,

21 to my knowledge; is that correct, Mr.

22 Voldenberg? We haven't gotten anything else on

23 that?

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask the

25 Director tomorrow.
 60

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. That's

 2 something I'd really like to find out when

 3 that's going to happen.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you.

 6 And I have received a response from what we

 7 were asking last week on the outdoor pools and

 8 specifically the zero entry ones and if there

 9 would be lifts available for people to be able

10 enter the pool.

11 The response that we received was

12 that the Parks Department has pool lifts at

13 Weston Field's indoor pool, Connell, and Weston

14 Park. Weston Field and Nay Aug's outdoor pools

15 will not need a lift as the zero entry sloped

16 entrance suffices for ADA compliance.

17 Accessible parking spaces are

18 available near each pool's entrance. But I

19 wasn't really asking about ADA compliance

20 because there's one thing about that you could

21 be compliant with what they require, but then

22 are you truly meeting the needs of the disabled

23 community?

24 And so that's where my concern comes

25 from. And I do want to push to at least have
 61

 1 the availability of aqua wheelchairs like we

 2 were discussing last week because even though

 3 you have zero entry, if someone is not

 4 ambulatory or they are a wheelchair user, then

 5 they're still not going to be able to bring

 6 their daily wheelchair into -- in order for

 7 them to enter the water.

 8 So I still want to continue that

 9 discussion and push for us to be able to have

10 those available for the public at those pools

11 that don't have the lifts. And that's all that

12 I have. Thank you.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

14 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

15 motions or comments?

16 MR. MCANDREW: A couple, so I also

17 asked some questions about pools that are going

18 to be built over the next couple years because

19 I heard different numbers or different depths,

20 whether it was on Facebook or in the paper or

21 the last time we actually met.

22 So for clarity's sake I asked for,

23 please advise the specifics related to the

24 actual depth of all city pools, new and updated

25 from the shallow entry side to the deep end of
 62

 1 each pool.

 2 So what I got back was, Weston Field

 3 indoor pool, 3 feet to 9 and a half. Okay, we

 4 kind of already knew that. Connell 3 feet to

 5 13; Weston Park 3.5 to 13; Weston Field outdoor

 6 activity pool, 4 feet and then Nay Aug activity

 7 pool. So I'm assuming that's the youth pool.

 8 That's going to be 3 feet.

 9 So we didn't get the schematics or

10 specifics on the lap pool. So please, Mr.

11 Voldenberg, I'd like to expand my inquiry as to

12 that -- the depth of that pool.

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Mr.

14 McAndrew.

15 MR. MCANDREW: But what scares me

16 and I don't like is -- and I know through some

17 of -- some of the videos I saw of the Mayor,

18 you know, pools cost money and so does water.

19 And that's understandable and maintenance.

20 But what costs money more is

21 liability and people getting hurt. So if you

22 have a 3 foot -- I heard 3 foot. Now they're

23 stating 4, 4 foot pool at two locations, kids

24 are going to jump in that. Kids are going to

25 dive in that. That's an instinctive thing to
 63

 1 do.

 2 And what I looked at is, you know,

 3 the American Red Cross recommends from jumping

 4 from the side of a pool it should be at least 6

 5 feet. Diving into a pool should be nine. We

 6 discussed -- discussed in caucus I remember

 7 growing up where so many people got hurt diving

 8 into a 4 foot pool, some -- some with last

 9 injuries and paralysis.

10 So and I know we could put up a

11 bunch of no diving signs and stuff to that

12 nature, but I just think if we're going to have

13 and bring back the big pool that Nay Aug once

14 had and it's only going to be 4 feet, I don't

15 think that's good enough. I don't think that's

16 good -- well, it's definitely, in my personal

17 opinion, it's not good enough for me.

18 But I don't think it's good enough

19 for the masses that want to use it. We're

20 going to have a splash pad there which is fine.

21 This is going to be -- you know, this is the

22 youth pool, okay. But I want to know the depth

23 of the other pool because I did not receive

24 that information if would you, please, do that,

25 Mr. Voldenberg.
 64

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 2 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. And then the

 3 Show Mobile, so I'm here six years. So over

 4 the course of six years, I've heard from

 5 actually a previous DPW Director that sometimes

 6 the Show Mobile at the administration or the

 7 Mayor's discretion is free.

 8 I'm only saying that because I was

 9 told that. Can I confirm that sitting here,

10 no. But when I told something by a director I

11 believe it or should believe it. I don't know

12 if that still takes place or that's still a

13 practice.

14 But would you please reach out to

15 administration, Mr. Voldenberg, and inquire as

16 to does that still happen? Is there any

17 organizations in the city that receives the

18 Show Mobile for free. And that's great. But I

19 think this -- these poor kids should have -- if

20 that's the case and this happens, I think these

21 children should have the same opportunity.

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

23 McAndrew.

24 MR. MCANDREW: Clarity for that.

25 Thank you. Another issue that it's brought up
 65

 1 to me a couple times is, St. Ann's Street,

 2 Rundle Street, over in my neck of the woods,

 3 and Cornell and them streets that -- that go

 4 all the way to the bottom of Sloan, right, so

 5 trucks are trying to get back to, say, Kane

 6 Warehouse, their GPS is telling them, hey, go

 7 up St. Ann's Street.

 8 And when they get there, obviously

 9 Kane is only a few hundred yards away but

10 there's no road. So what's happening on these

11 streets is lines are being knocked down by the

12 trucks, right, so an old power -- I mean, I'm

13 sorry, an old phone line, not a big deal.

14 And I know it happens a lot in the

15 winter when there's ice or snow weighing them

16 down. But, you know, old cable lines, a lot of

17 people are streaming stuff. They're maybe not

18 live or whatever, it's not a big deal. But

19 it's a nuisance because somebody has to be

20 called.

21 But what I'm hearing lately which

22 scares me to death is, power lines are coming

23 down. So they're very dangerous. I'd hate to

24 see some kid get hurt, killed -- God bless--

25 electrocuted. So this has become an issue that
 66

 1 is continuously happening on all of these

 2 streets because of GPS.

 3 So with that said for the safety,

 4 you know, of our residents that live on these

 5 streets and moving forward, can we have the

 6 City Engineer take a look at this, do a study

 7 as to what we could do with it.

 8 I mean, we can't change GPS

 9 obviously. But maybe we could post some type

10 of signs so, you know, we can make this a safer

11 path for everybody.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll submit that

13 tomorrow.

14 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank

15 you. And I believe that is all I have. Thank

16 you.

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

18 I have a few reminders for our veterans is the

19 first one. We do have again this year $100,000

20 available for grants for nonprofit

21 organizations located in the City of Scranton

22 to serve our veterans and their families.

23 Applications are open now. And they

24 are due by Tuesday, April 29th. You could

25 actually apply online through Open Gov and type
 67

 1 in Scranton Veterans 2025. And you could fill

 2 the application online. It's basically the

 3 same one we've been doing for the past few

 4 years.

 5 The funds are to help our local

 6 non-profits continue to serve the respected

 7 members of our veteran communities and their

 8 families. If -- you also have to be a 501C3,

 9 501C19 or 501C23 that serves veterans and their

10 families.

11 And, of course, you'll have to fill

12 out what you're going to use the money for and

13 stuff like they have in the past. But that is

14 open right now. The same as last year, the

15 funding decisions will be made by a committee,

16 including representation of the veterans.

17 The program is funded in part or in

18 full are available and priority will give to

19 applications who demonstrate how programs will

20 prioritize and support low income veterans. So

21 and this has to be done. Remember, it's got to

22 be in by the 29th of April.

23 If you want to get any information

24 of this, you could you go online or you can

25 call Sherry Frable at our OECD Office or our
 68

 1 Community Development Manager Liza Carroll.

 2 They're both on the website. Put their first

 3 initial in and spell last name dot gov and they

 4 will come up to the website.

 5 Also available is grant money for

 6 our local nonprofit community centers. This is

 7 also due by April 29th. And they are all the

 8 city buildings if you need -- I don't know when

 9 those roof repaired. I think we did West

10 Scranton last year, a roof repair or something

11 there.

12 But also the same people to contact

13 and they also have to be in by the 29th. I'm

14 stressing this because there's only a few weeks

15 left. That's it for the grants.

16 Political signs, advertising a

17 person or seeking a political office or a

18 political cause or opinion or referendum or

19 matter of political concern in which relates to

20 a schedule election or a matter upcoming vote

21 by government body.

22 So I was asked to let everyone know

23 that the signs -- no sign is allowed in the

24 public right-of-way. So anything on the

25 outside of the sidewalk is a public
 69

 1 right-of-way. Entrance to the expressway, any

 2 public right-of-way, we have been taking the

 3 signs down from these people that are saying

 4 they're buying your houses, relators. Whoever

 5 has it in the public right-of-way, we are

 6 taking them down.

 7 So if you're missing signs, the DPW

 8 that's been removing them, go down there. They

 9 store them for you down there. They don't just

10 throw them out. And if they're not there, our

11 Parks and Rec people also pick them up and they

12 remove signs also. So they may be at Weston

13 Field.

14 So if your signs are taken down,

15 they say that they do store them for a while.

16 So if you have them out and they are in the

17 right-of-way and they're missing, it's because

18 they don't belong there.

19 Also, this is a recap of a meeting

20 in downtown Scranton on Friday, 4/4/2025. This

21 is what's going to be repaired as far as the

22 streets and -- or the courts. The first one is

23 Forest Court; second is Dix Court and Kressler

24 Court. They're going to be full width

25 resurfacing in both of those courts.
 70

 1 They're going to cut as close as

 2 they can to the buildings on both sides. And

 3 they are going to be paved. They're also going

 4 to be paving Lackawanna Avenue from Penn Ave.,

 5 to Adams Avenue -- Adams and Cedar. The lanes

 6 will be resurfaced and up to the double yellow

 7 lines.

 8 And also they have to repaint

 9 everything and put all the dashes and the lines

10 back down. Lackawanna Avenue from Adams and

11 Cedar to Kressler, PennDOT road -- where they

12 tore a path in the road, they're going to relay

13 the entire half of that road that was torn up.

14 Contractor will conform to all DOT

15 requirements because that is -- it is a DOT

16 street. So they also when -- and PennDOT

17 requires if you're paving, you've got to do the

18 entire intersection. So if you see that one

19 part is cut up, PennDOT requires you to do the

20 entire intersection.

21 Also, Mulberry Street -- Mulberry

22 Street also is a PennDOT road and the

23 contractor knows that and they will resurface

24 the entire intersection. Also South Washington

25 Avenue from River Street up to Lackawanna
 71

 1 Avenue, so if you've driven there you will see

 2 the one side is all torn up and then it

 3 switches and then it goes to the other side.

 4 So they're going to do that entire

 5 path width that they tore up from River Street

 6 to the entrance of the mall. And from there,

 7 they're going to widen it and do the entire

 8 road up to the mall parking garage intersection

 9 to Lackawanna Avenue because they cross and

10 they cut that out.

11 Also, while downtown looking at

12 these, a number of UGI pave cuts were

13 identified in the walkthrough. And they do not

14 appear to be properly compacted. And they need

15 to be addressed. So we've asked that that will

16 be taken care of also.

17 And Stafursky, who looks like they

18 are going to do the job said they're going to

19 start in two to three weeks and they are

20 authorized UGI paving company. So they will be

21 out this week. And they will be marking the

22 streets with pink paint.

23 So if you see that out, that's

24 everything that's going to be paved that they

25 cut up and tore up downtown. And that's it for
 72

 1 the paving for downtown.

 2 Now, this is for FEMA. This is our

 3 present administration. And the FEMA ends

 4 wasteful politicized grant program return the

 5 agency to core mission of helping Americans

 6 recovering from natural disaster.

 7 So pretty much what that means is

 8 FEMA is ending the Building Resilient

 9 Infrastructure and Communities Program. So the

10 Bric grants that we applied for and we've gone

11 through the first two stages of getting them

12 will not happen now.

13 That has been taken away from --

14 with the Trump administration. And that money

15 is gone. So the Bric Grant Program, another

16 example of wasteful and ineffective FEMA

17 Program. So but I guess they say they are

18 going to help Americans recover from natural

19 disasters but they took the money away. So I

20 don't know how they're going to do that.

21 Approximately 882 million dollars in

22 funding is gone. And there's really nothing we

23 could do about it. It's gone. So that's one

24 program that is gone. And I certainly hope the

25 Meadow Brook Project isn't the next one on the
 73

 1 chopping block because they seem to be taking

 2 all the money that we have.

 3 I called the Mayor this morning when

 4 I found out this information and to see what we

 5 could do if there's anything that we could do.

 6 And the Mayor and the administration had

 7 already sent a letter out to John Fetterman,

 8 Dave McCormick, Representative Rob Bresnahan

 9 on behalf of the city to express our deep

10 concern following the recent decision by FEMA

11 to terminate the Building Resilient

12 Infrastructure Community, the Bric Program and

13 canceling all pending grants, applications for

14 fiscal years 2020 to through 2023.

15 And we were in that group. This was

16 made public -- I believe it was like late

17 Friday, last Friday afternoon. And we do have

18 a direct impact on our city for all those

19 people that we were going to buy the properties

20 and that they were always being flooded.

21 So in July of 2024, two of

22 Scranton's Bric applications, they advanced,

23 past the initial federal review and achieved

24 that position. So the community, we were

25 pretty much sure that they were going through
 74

 1 at that time.

 2 But evidently, that money is not

 3 available anymore. I will ask Mr. Voldenberg

 4 instead of reading two pages to you, I will

 5 give you this. You will put this on the city's

 6 website, if you will?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. And one more

 9 thing from last week, this is a response from

10 NeighborWorks. They did send us a response in

11 to my request. And it is a response to the

12 Council's request, please be advised that

13 NeighborWorks of Northeastern Pennsylvania is

14 exercising due diligence in assessing issues

15 related our employee's candidacy.

16 The organization and Board of

17 Directors continues to be prudent in our fact

18 gathering and analysis. This includes making a

19 formal request to Penn State Ethics Commission

20 for an advisory opinion on the existence of any

21 conflict of interest in connection with

22 Mr. Pousley's candidacy or election if he is

23 successful.

24 We appreciate your attention to this

25 matter, regards Shane Powers, President and CEO
 75

 1 of NeighborWorks. Thank you for the response.

 2 That is it, Mr. Voldenberg.
