19 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

20 on any of the Third Order items?

21 MR. SCHUSTER: The only comment I

22 have on Third Order item is in regards to 3-C.

23 So can we just ask if our ARPA allocations, are

24 they being allocated 100 percent, are there any

25 claw backs that are occurring or are we
 8

 1 utilizing, allocating all of those funds?

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

 3 questions.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Yeah, the

 5 last update we had, they stated that they were.

 6 I just want to -- if we could get an update on

 7 that.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? If not,

11 received and filed. Do any Council members

12 have any announcements at this time?

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I

14 just want to wish people a happy Hanukkah if

15 they celebrate. Tonight's the third night of

16 it. It goes for eight nights. So it will be

17 until next Monday. And also Merry Christmas,

18 to those who celebrate Christmas and happy

19 Kwanzaa for those who celebrate Kwanza. So I

20 hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

21 I did also want to say that, just

22 give me condolences to the family and loved

23 ones of the victims from the assault that

24 happened at the Jermyn apartments. I think

25 we're all really shocked that that had
 9

 1 happened. And I feel terrible to have heard

 2 that that happened and just very sad events.

 3 And then I hope the person who had

 4 survived is able to recover from it. That's

 5 all that I have. Thank you.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, I have one

 8 announcement. The department of recycling just

 9 wanted everyone to know that the recycling

10 calendars for 2026 are in the mail and are

11 headed towards our residents.

12 MR. MCANDREW: I would also like to

13 wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy

14 Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa and definitely a happy

15 and healthy new year. Two events that are

16 coming up, so the Victor Alfieri Society's

17 monthly dinner is early this year because of

18 the holiday.

19 So they wanted me to announce that

20 they will having this Thursday, December 18th

21 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., eggplant rollantini

22 which is a lot of people's favorites over there

23 or pasta and meatballs. It's $12 for members,

24 $14 for nonmembers.

25 And also, West Scranton High School,
 10

 1 this is going to be their second year of Deck

 2 the Halls at West Scranton High School. Come

 3 out and support their positive behavioral team.

 4 It's a great event, this Saturday, December

 5 20th from 9 to 1. Parents are free, children

 6 tickets are $5. Children under 3 are $3.

 7 You know, it will help you get in

 8 the holiday spirit. They have interactive

 9 theater, face painting, pictures with Santa,

10 games, cookies, hot cocoa. I'm very proud of

11 my students. They made a bunch of cookies I

12 dropped off today for this event and for

13 another event that they are having there. So

14 if you can, support this. It's a great event.

15 And that's all I have.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. There's one

17 more. Bob Bolus's 32nd annual Christmas

18 dinner, December 25th from noon until 6 p.m.,

19 at All Saints Academy in West Scranton. It's

20 1425 Jackson Street.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

22 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

23 MR. SMURL: First speaker, Joan

24 Hodowanitz.

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,
 11

 1 Scranton. Since this is the last meeting for

 2 2025 and we're in the mood to give thanks, I

 3 think we should all pause also and thank our

 4 municipal employees, those who we see picking

 5 up our garbage or fighting fires or responding

 6 to emergencies, the police.

 7 Just think of how December, you

 8 know, started. It's been so cold and how would

 9 you like to be out there 5:00 in the morning

10 with a zero windchill picking up somebody

11 else's garbage or in those conditions fighting

12 a fire or responding to, you know, reports of

13 shots fired.

14 Didn't we just have a 15-year-old

15 child killed in West Scranton? This is a sad

16 way to end the summer. We lost two residents

17 in the Hotel Jerymn and a 15 year old in West

18 Scranton shot with a stolen firearm.

19 So, you know, I mean, people will

20 say, well, you know, they get paid well and

21 they get a lot of benefits that other people

22 don't get. Believe me, if you want to do their

23 job, you should apply for them and then you'll

24 get those benefits because the work is hard and

25 often a thankless task.
 12

 1 So my personal thanks to all of

 2 those people who keep us safe, who clean our

 3 city by picking up our nasty garbage and do all

 4 of the other things that most of us don't want

 5 to have to do for ourselves and I wish them the

 6 best.

 7 Speaking of picking up garbage, do

 8 we have a contract yet for the DPW?

 9 MR. SMURL: Not that I've heard of.

10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, you know,

11 it's going to be one year on December 31st. I

12 suspect that contract is headed for arbitration

13 in the new year. Also, in December of 2026,

14 will be the expiration dates for the union

15 contracts for both police and fire.

16 Last time it took both of them over

17 one year to get new contracts. So don't you

18 think it would be a good idea if when the new

19 year comes around they start working on those

20 two contracts? That way, we could have

21 negotiations going on for police, fire, and DPW

22 simultaneously.

23 But, you know, I mean, those people

24 deserve a contract and they shouldn't have to

25 wait. And the people shouldn't have to pay all
 13

 1 of these labor Council fees and arbitration

 2 fees and, you know, backpay and everything

 3 else. Let's get it done and get it done right

 4 this time.

 5 Speaking of getting things done

 6 right, I think it's a wonderful idea that Doris

 7 Koloski is going to be appointed to the Human

 8 Relations Committee. It was a sad day when we

 9 lost Norma Jeffries to the Philadelphia area.

10 But at least we got Doris, you know, coming in

11 to serve on a commission.

12 We have a lot of very good people in

13 the community who offer their services. So I

14 thank them all. Speaking of services, I looked

15 at the agenda for tomorrow's County

16 Commissioners' meeting. And, of course, on the

17 agenda is the second reading of the budget for

18 2026 which Dave Bulzoni had asked to be delayed

19 until tomorrow because he needed to get his

20 arms around what the projected cost would be

21 for electricity.

22 So I have the legislative cover

23 sheet and you might be surprised to see that

24 thanks to all of these data centers that are

25 raising their ugly heads in Lackawanna County,
 14

 1 costs are expect to increase. The county may

 2 anticipate a year over year cost increase of

 3 approximately 42 percent.

 4 So next year they're anticipating

 5 the cost for the county to be $992,000. Now,

 6 they got some energy saving projects that

 7 they're looking at. And that will bring the

 8 increase down to 34 percent. So the next raise

 9 will be 1.3 million dollars, which brings us to

10 the city's anticipated electricity cost for

11 next year. It's a flat.

12 Almost $350,000 for 2025 and it's

13 going to be $350,000 next year. And if you

14 believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you on

15 Luzerne Street.

16 MR. SMURL: Mike Mancini.

17 MR. MANCINI: Good evening,

18 Scranton. Tonight, things to be thankful for.

19 Thankful to wake up every morning an American.

20 Thankful for every veteran. Those who have

21 served or are serving to ensure our every

22 freedom.

23 I'm thankful for growing up in

24 Scranton. Memories and things that could never

25 be taken away or taken for granted, growing up
 15

 1 in West Scranton the oldest of three boys to a

 2 single mother and humble beginnings, I had so

 3 many amazing memories.

 4 I'm thankful for the kindness of our

 5 city and its citizens. I'm thankful for

 6 friends and family at times of need and when

 7 not in need. I'm thankful for our first

 8 responders, firefighters, police officers, and

 9 our amazing DPW employees who brave the cold

10 weather and serve their city with compassion

11 and resolve.

12 Christmas is next Thursday. The

13 holiday could be tough on people, me included.

14 This past Saturday evening I drove through Nay

15 Aug Park and found the Christmas lights display

16 to be very thoughtful and easy on the eyes.

17 I'm thankful for all the volunteers who took

18 their time throughout the year dedicated to

19 keep our crown jewel and parks in amazing

20 condition, including those on the Recreation

21 Authority and Council President Smurl.

22 I'm thankful for those who work

23 directly for the homeless and stray animals.

24 I'm thankful for those who have attended the

25 Council meeting and those who pay attention to
 16

 1 how our local process works and affects us

 2 daily, good, bad or indifferent.

 3 I'm thankful for friendships made in

 4 these very chambers. I'm thankful that this

 5 will be our last meeting of our current

 6 Council. The days of rubber stamps by Manny,

 7 Moe and Jess will be over. I'm thankful for

 8 next year's Council and will hold the Mayor

 9 responsible for her actions and her lack of

10 detail regarding the topic which is our

11 requirement of those five chairs.

12 I'm thankful that we have an amazing

13 district attorney committed to our every safety

14 concern. Our concern is that our police

15 department is not operating properly. The core

16 organizational structure was changed disrupting

17 major components, primarily our detectives

18 division.

19 I would be thankful if the new

20 Council would investigate the need for a study

21 to address the complexity of our police

22 department. The recent police and first

23 responder calls are a reminder of how our

24 safety is important to everyone.

25 I would be thankful if our Mayor,
 17

 1 Business Administrator, Police Chief, head of

 2 detectives, our District Attorney, Chief of

 3 Detectives and Mr. McAndrew would meet with me

 4 about my concerns.

 5 I feel there are steps that are

 6 missing when it comes to opioid related deaths

 7 and drug activity in our city. Placing the

 8 right people in the room for the right reasons

 9 will have the right results. We need solutions

10 to our current climate. We need to have the

11 stigma that our Scranton Police Department is

12 the best in the area.

13 Think twice before you choose to do

14 something once. Mr. McAndrew, I believe that

15 you should be there, not only as a

16 representative of Council but also as a teacher

17 and a grandparent. Like myself, you care about

18 our future.

19 Personally, I could understand the

20 frustration with the administration when it

21 comes to most of your questions. Years --

22 almost here next year. Soon you will demand

23 answers, something we will all be grateful

24 for.

25 I would like to be thankful if the
 18

 1 Mayor would make the unhoused task force

 2 meetings public. Once again, with input from

 3 those in attendance. I would be thankful if

 4 the Mayor would place a monthly calendar on the

 5 city website regarding days, times, and

 6 locations of every authority, board, and

 7 commission meeting. Since transparency is so

 8 scrutinized, my recommendation is a fair

 9 request.

10 Gratitude could transform common

11 days into Thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into

12 joy and change ordinary opportunities into

13 blessings, William Arthur Ward. I would like

14 to wish everybody a blessed holiday and a safe

15 start to the new year. Good evening, Scranton.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mark

17 Scarinci.

18 MR. SCARINCI: Pleasant good

19 evening, Council, Mark Scarinci, West Side. I

20 want to start by thanking the City of Scranton

21 residents for their civilized community because

22 I come from Las Vegas, east Las Vegas two years

23 ago.

24 And let me tell you, there's

25 security bars on the windows, security bars on
 19

 1 the front door, high perimeter fences 4 or 5

 2 feet high, Doberman's in the front yard. We

 3 don't have that kind of stuff over here.

 4 There's no graffiti. There's no sneakers

 5 hanging down from the cable wires. This is

 6 paradise as close as it could be. So thank

 7 you, Scranton, for being civilized.

 8 Now, the real reason why I came over

 9 here is you see this picture, Council, this

10 earthrise. Remember earth rise? This is taken

11 on the Apollo 8, 60-some years ago. I was a

12 little boy at the time. I could remember the

13 need of the post office stamp where you

14 could -- when I was a little boy, we would have

15 pen pals.

16 And I would put it on the stamp.

17 And it was 6 cents at the time. That photo of

18 earthrise has been diminished because we need a

19 new image. We need a new earthrise and here it

20 is, Council. Without further ado, I present to

21 you St. Nicholas of Myra.

22 This is it, St. Nicholas of Myra

23 also known as Santa Clause, which just happened

24 to be me. I spent last year at this time 27

25 days in Saratoga Springs, New York at Wilton
 20

 1 Mall. And I gave hundreds of children very

 2 nice memories. And it was a very rewarding

 3 experience with Cherry Hill programs right

 4 there at the Viewmont Mall.

 5 Now, I also want to point out to you

 6 this picture. There's the picture of the

 7 blessed Virgin Mary and us Catholics find that

 8 a very sacred image. When I was getting these

 9 pictures taken -- developed, the lady said it's

10 better if it's backlit.

11 You could see it better because I

12 thought it came out too dark. And I got to

13 thinking what a wonderful idea that is. How

14 can I backlight this photograph? And so I

15 thought about it, and I did it. And here it

16 is, Council. You could put it on your cell

17 phone. Right here and it comes out really nice

18 with the season of Christmas upon us.

19 So what I want to do is, I want to

20 spread that joy of that picture to all the

21 world. So right now if you have your camera,

22 you could take a snapshot with your camera.

23 And this is it. My name is Mark Scarinci. I'm

24 right there on Facebook. You could see my

25 picture and it looks right like that.
 21

 1 And I want you who are distressed,

 2 who are feeling mental issues, I want you to

 3 download that picture. And I want you to put

 4 it on your cell phone on the lock screen just

 5 like that because I'll tell you what, this

 6 picture has healing properties.

 7 There are many stories I could tell

 8 you as a Santa Claus. But I'm going to leave

 9 you with one. As sure as a Hollywood script,

10 there was this 19-year-old girl with tears in

11 her eyes and I said, "What's the matter? And

12 she said to me, "Santa, can I have a hug?

13 And I said, "Of course you could

14 have a hug." And so when we embraced, those

15 tears of sadness turned to joy. Those frowns

16 turned upside down with a smile. And I know

17 the reason why, Council, because when you see

18 that decorations and you see all the -- hear

19 all the music, the trick is this is this

20 peppermint oil.

21 And so I would get this peppermint

22 oil and I would make a little cologne and I

23 spray it and I would smell like peppermint

24 candy. And people would say you smell like

25 peppermint candy when I sit next to them. I'd
 22

 1 say, yeah, that's the point.

 2 And so when she smelled that

 3 peppermint candy and saw those decorations,

 4 that embrace turned her right around. So I

 5 wanted to tell you and the world that if you

 6 are feeling distressed, you follow my

 7 instructions. Thank you, Council, for your

 8 actual time.

 9 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler.

10 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

11 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and

12 homeowner. I want to wish all of my friends

13 and family of the Jewish faith a happy Hanukkah

14 and I send my thoughts and prayers are in

15 Australia for all of those people that lost

16 their lives. What a terrible thing celebrating

17 a wonderful holiday and they had their lives

18 snuffed out, just terrible.

19 Okay, moving on. It's a dead issue,

20 but last week, that vote to give Geisinger

21 their way was ridiculous. Three of you, you

22 know who you are, neither one of you has a mind

23 of your own. You didn't listen the last three,

24 four weeks to all the people coming up here

25 saying how that will inconvenience their lives,
 23

 1 their neighborhood.

 2 It's just terrible. And,

 3 Councilwoman Rothchild, you betrayed all of

 4 your neighbors in that area. You didn't even

 5 have the guts to come here last week and look

 6 them in the face and vote no or and vote yes I

 7 mean.

 8 You should have voted no. You

 9 pretend to be a champion for the Hill Section

10 but that's bull. All you do is listen to what

11 the Mayor says. That's going to change next

12 month when we have a new Council.

13 Next thing, 5-B, what is that? New

14 development in 1900 Dorothy Street?

15 MR. SMURL: It's for the sewer

16 connection. It's for the Missy Little League.

17 MR. SPINDLER: Oh, okay, well,

18 that's been done already.

19 MR. SMURL: No, it's not done.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: They put a bathroom

21 in that new building that's there. It's a

22 connection into the sewer.

23 MR. SPINDLER: Batting cages are

24 done. It's all -- it's all done. Rossi Rooter

25 was there doing all that plumbing. All right.
 24

 1 That's all I have. I want to wish everybody a

 2 happy healthy new year and Merry Christmas and

 3 see you next year.

 4 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler -- I'm

 5 sorry, Lee Morgan. Sorry, Les.

 6 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,

 7 Lee Morgan. You know, today I was going to

 8 talk about my litigation with ECTV. But, you

 9 know, with the things that are happening here

10 and in the world, I thought maybe I'd change

11 what I was going to say.

12 And, you know, being a person who

13 grew up in this city, I'm just really shocked

14 the way things are really occurring here. I

15 have friends I work with and they always talk

16 about the deplorable conditions of the city and

17 all the crime.

18 And I just think that when you get

19 people hacked to death in their residence,

20 okay, or you're a child and you're walking down

21 the street and you get shot -- and then I add

22 it to all the other things that people I work

23 with talk about that they find on the internet

24 about the city about crime and the things that

25 are going on here.
 25

 1 You know, it's time to take a real

 2 good hard look around. You know, the hospital

 3 project is something totally different because

 4 that's an antiquated building. And there is no

 5 way to make that useful. I would just like to

 6 add that here.

 7 So that vote was just a detriment to

 8 the residents of the city no matter who voted

 9 for it or what they did. But, you know, you

10 take a look at what's going on. I think people

11 should go in the internet and look up the name

12 Franck Zuma, F-R-A-N-C-K-Z-U-M-A. He's a

13 Nigerian guy. He talks about America.

14 He talks about what's going on in

15 our country, talks about what's going on in the

16 world. You know, when you look at the things

17 that are going on in this world like Les was

18 talking about the murder of the Jewish people

19 in Australia and you look at the crime all over

20 the world and then you look at the president we

21 have and that we had, Biden.

22 And you see what's happening to

23 America, it's been going on for -- since the

24 60s. It's just been getting worse and worse

25 and worse.
 26

 1 You know, when you take a look at

 2 people that immigrate into your country, you

 3 have to see where they came from and how they

 4 acted where they came because I pay a lot of

 5 attention about things that are going on in the

 6 country.

 7 You know, people -- I don't think

 8 the police here are prepared here for what's

 9 going to happen in this country. I know

10 they're not prepared for what's going on in the

11 rest of our country. They're finding people

12 in plastic barrels with bleach poured on them,

13 dead, women, young girls.

14 They're murdering people across our

15 whole country everywhere, not just in some

16 places. They just got done arresting people in

17 Texas. But the people in Australia are totally

18 a different thing. They were radicalized

19 Islamic militants.

20 And we have them everywhere in our

21 country. I had a friend that I worked with at

22 work that was an Afghanistan. And when Joe

23 Biden left the border open, he said watch out

24 what's going to come. I think the FBI's

25 working overtime. I see what's going on here.
 27

 1 You know, when I look at the murder

 2 at the Hotel Jermyn where people are hacked to

 3 death with a machete, that's just not something

 4 that ever happened in our city at one time.

 5 And we just have elected officials

 6 that are Democrats that are killing our

 7 country. It's just amazing and you could see

 8 it. And you see what's going on all over the

 9 world. They are actually hunting Jewish people

10 down everywhere even in our own country not

11 letting them go to classes, not letting them

12 move around freely.

13 You know, and you take a look at

14 what's going on in some of our cities where

15 they are trying to enact sharia law. I don't

16 know if women are ready for sharia law in this

17 country or anybody else for that matter. Our

18 whole society is breaking down because we've

19 allowed people into our country that don't

20 share our values.

21 And then we elect people that

22 locking us out of the halls of government and

23 are just totally troubled by anything we say.

24 But you know what, the worst is yet to come.

25 And we have to thank all the people we elect.
 28

 1 You know, you should ask the Mayor to come up

 2 here and explain to the residents how she

 3 allowed the city to get like it is and then ask

 4 yourself that question. Thank you.

 5 MR. SMURL: Gene McDonough.

 6 MR. MCDONOUGH: Gene McDonough, City

 7 of Scranton resident. I too am here about the

 8 CMC and the vote last week. To me, it was

 9 just -- it was a travesty what happened. It

10 was an assault. You bypassed the law. And to

11 me, all politics are local.

12 And what I saw last week was

13 basically an assault on democracy. You guys,

14 you didn't listen to the residents. You

15 listened to the corporation, a small group of

16 people, most of who don't live in the area.

17 The president lives 45 minutes away.

18 And that's who you listened to. You

19 listened to our state rep. You listened to our

20 outside politicians who are supposed to

21 represent the area, not Scranton. You were

22 elected to represent Scranton. To me, it was

23 like Goliath versus David. And we just got

24 crushed.

25 Geisinger's motto, we treat everyone
 29

 1 as we would like to be treated. I don't think

 2 that happened last week. Now, I walked away

 3 here -- I walked away from the meeting last

 4 week and thought that we at least had a chance.

 5 I was pretty disappointed when I saw

 6 people with prepared speeches. That means we

 7 didn't have a chance. I found out about this

 8 late and I know there was some meetings held.

 9 But what I saw last week was

10 basically bypassed -- what everybody's been

11 saying. And I started getting mad at you guys.

12 And I know you guys. I know you guys

13 personally. I work with you guys. And I know

14 you're good people. I know you care about it.

15 And I thought, okay, don't get mad

16 at the people. Look at the process. Where did

17 the process break down? This is what I do for

18 a living. I step back and I look at the

19 process. And I had an epiphany.

20 We're doing -- and somebody just

21 mentioned for the last 50 years we've been

22 handing more and more power over to

23 corporations. And that's what I saw happen

24 last week.

25 Government by the people, for the
 30

 1 people. Government of the people, by the

 2 people for the people. Definition of people is

 3 a citizen, not a corporation. Scholarly

 4 analysis of what that meant, elected

 5 representatives are in place to represent the

 6 common man.

 7 I'll add not the corporations and

 8 the oligarchs. I hear time and time again our

 9 elected representatives are doing business of

10 the people. You are supposed to be

11 representing the people, not just doing the

12 business of the people.

13 You are supposed to be listening to

14 us. Voters don't feel heard anymore. We see

15 the condition, not just Scranton's in but the

16 nation. And voters don't feel heard.

17 Corporations and the wealthy play by different

18 rules.

19 We see it time and time and time

20 again. And last week was a perfect example.

21 That corporation made 237 million dollars.

22 They can't build elsewhere? They can't build

23 in a nonresidential area? Who are you guys

24 elected to represent? You were elected to

25 represent the city, not the county, the city.
 31

 1 What I heard last week was you were

 2 representing the county. I heard that from two

 3 different representatives up there. While I

 4 appreciate it, again, you guys care and you're

 5 looking at the big picture.

 6 You were elected to represent us,

 7 not the county. We have representatives over

 8 in another building to represent the county. I

 9 don't know how many meetings you had with

10 the -- how many meetings you had with the local

11 people. But I heard it was, like, two or

12 three.

13 Was there any outreach done to the

14 people who are make $21,000 a year in the area?

15 Most of the people that are showing up to these

16 meetings -- we're doing okay for ourselves.

17 Did we reach out to the people who aren't and

18 what they're going to do when they lose their

19 homes. And they have bad credit and can't find

20 another house.

21 Did we think about those people?

22 Did we make any promises? Are there -- you

23 know, were there meeting minutes taken for

24 these meetings with Geisinger? I don't know.

25 I hope there were because I'm going to request
 32

 1 them. I heard there was an agreement to 75

 2 feet.

 3 I don't know if it's in writing. By

 4 the sounds of it, it wasn't. I don't know if

 5 it was. I apologize if it is. But they

 6 haven't kept a promise yet to us. The

 7 helicopters flying over our neighborhood. They

 8 bought properties when they said they are not

 9 going to and they continue to develop when they

10 said they're not going to.

11 We made what sounds like a 100 year

12 agreement on a handshake with people who aren't

13 going to be here in 100 years. Jerry, you're a

14 businessman. You don't do that in business.

15 Again, I want to thank you guys. And you could

16 see I'm upset about this. It really frustrated

17 me to see what happened last week.

18 I don't like coming here. I don't

19 like coming and doing public speaking. But I

20 do want to thank you guys for being here. And

21 again, I know you guys are good people. I know

22 the Mayor, in my opinion, I'm going to ruffle

23 some feathers here. Personally I think the

24 Mayor is one of the best mayors we had in a

25 long time.
 33

 1 I think she's got a bigger picture.

 2 I like her for future representatives. I think

 3 her and Eileen are a great team. I think

 4 they've done a lot of good. And again, thank

 5 you all. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays.

 6 Stay safe.

 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all

 8 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to

 9 address Council?

10 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. And

11 again, people are hungry at the holidays. We

12 can't forget our obligation to our other man or

13 maybe we can, but we shouldn't. Now, there was

14 a woman killed up on Harrison and Mulberry.

15 Two people struck while trying to cross the

16 road.

17 There's a light at that

18 intersection. Maybe we should change it to a

19 stop sign since stop signs are safer. Pull

20 down the stop light up there near the park and

21 pull them down and put up stop signs because we

22 all know that stop signs will be more

23 effective.

24 We're not going to change it up

25 there. I don't see how Center City is going to
 34

 1 be safer with stop signs. We need to apply it

 2 in Center City, we need to apply it everywhere

 3 or it's just not logical. Or maybe that's the

 4 point of what I'm saying that blowing down stop

 5 signs -- blowing stop lights for stop signs

 6 isn't logical and it's not a solution.

 7 I was going to talk again about the

 8 departing and it was mentioned here about the

 9 departing people. Last week Mr. King was

10 yelling about it's my vote, my vote. When I'm

11 up here I'm going to do my vote. It's not his

12 vote. It's the people's vote.

13 He's a representative of the people.

14 We're a representative government. What's

15 given to him is the authority to vote, not on

16 his own feelings; but for the betterment of the

17 community and the betterment of the people he

18 represents. I understand he might think that

19 is the best representation for the people he

20 represents.

21 But it's never my vote. I am voting

22 for the people I represent as best as I can.

23 When you say it's my vote, you disenfranchise

24 everyone you serve. Dr. Rothchild, I was not

25 surprised whatsoever. Last time it came up
 35

 1 before Council for CMC Geisinger's change you

 2 were on the bandwagon for this change all

 3 along.

 4 And at the last minute you flipped.

 5 And the only reason you flipped as I said

 6 beforehand was it was three weeks before the

 7 election. Then suddenly, everything was in

 8 Geisinger flipped over to a no vote. It wasn't

 9 surprising because after a five or six minute

10 explanation on the phone which you always do,

11 you always give all the excuses in the world

12 and then say yes and let it go by.

13 You ran the people over with your

14 vote. And you ran over your own community.

15 But I guess that's theirs to blame because they

16 put you back in office after you did this last

17 time.

18 I hope the people in Scranton have a

19 good holiday season. It's been a tough year

20 for a number of things, for food, for water

21 bills, for electric, for public serve -- for

22 the homeless. We've got a lot of things on our

23 plate going forward.

24 And we need to take that kindness

25 that we have and work it a little bit better,
 36

 1 not behind closed doors as part of an

 2 unsheltered -- because they're not unsheltered.

 3 They're homeless.

 4 They're sitting on cardboard boxes

 5 below a bridge. Unsheltered is the dog in your

 6 doghouse in your backyard. But sometimes they

 7 are fed and taken care of better than we take

 8 care of our own homeless.

 9 Now, before my section here ends,

10 I'm going talk about this HARB vote that is

11 coming before you. It's invalid. Three of the

12 five members of the HARB Board aren't allowed

13 to vote, aren't allowed to participate. They

14 did. They voted on this. That is three out of

15 five that voted on this who aren't allowed to.

16 When there are three people who

17 can't vote on a five member board, there is no

18 quorum. What they sent to you is not legally

19 binding because two people are not a quorum if

20 the other three can't participate. And there

21 were no alternatives there. So whatever your

22 vote on it, is absolutely useless because it's

23 an illegitimate vote.

24 And anything that comes out of HARB

25 since May 1st is illegitimate because they have
 37

 1 never had from that point on a quorum. Good

 2 night.

 3 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council,

 4 Virgil Argenta. I would like to discuss the

 5 pressing issue that affects us all,

 6 homelessness in Scranton. Each morning as I

 7 travel to church shortly after 6 a.m., I

 8 observe firsthand the challenges facing our

 9 community.

10 Individuals are often seen gathering

11 on sidewalks while tents are discreetly

12 positioned out of public view. Others walk the

13 streets carrying their belongings and

14 backpacks, carts or bags seeking food or a safe

15 place to rest.

16 A clear illustration of the

17 disparity between them experiencing some

18 hardship and those who enjoy stability. My son

19 who serves as a police officer in another state

20 has relayed many heartbreaking accounts from

21 this overnight shifts involving individuals

22 living unsheltered.

23 These experiences underscore the

24 people affected are not merely statistics but

25 they're members of families. They're mothers,
 38

 1 fathers, siblings, children who are the

 2 deserving of empathy and assistance

 3 particularly with the holiday season

 4 approaching.

 5 In previous years, Scranton was home

 6 to several 24 hour establishments such as Tony

 7 Hardings, the Glider, Chick's Diner, the Waffle

 8 House, Gabe's Waco Diner that served as

 9 important community spaces providing

10 individuals who had nowhere to go with a

11 welcoming environment to socialize, find warmth

12 and foster connections.

13 Currently we have an unhoused task

14 force that operates privately. So secretively

15 that even its own members are often unaware of

16 when and where meetings are held or what the

17 agenda includes. Strangely, this organization

18 believes it is acceptable to keep everything

19 closed off excluding the public from attending

20 or even offering ideas, suggestions money,

21 help, support.

22 There may be concerns that public

23 participation could introduce innovative

24 solutions with meaningful impact. You have no

25 idea what some people in this room, what they
 39

 1 own, who they are or what they're connected to

 2 and how we can help because we're private

 3 people.

 4 For example, what if we're to

 5 propose establishing a shared service model

 6 where the school district could utilize one of

 7 our garbage trucks while in exchange, we might

 8 have access to a school gymnasium or an

 9 unhoused school building that's not being used

10 for shelter purposes?

11 Additionally, the county could

12 coordinate with Colts Bus Service to transport

13 the unhoused individuals to the designated

14 location allowing that unhoused task force to

15 maintain operational oversight and the unhoused

16 task force could even take credit for this

17 idea.

18 Ultimately as taxpayers, we are the

19 supporters of the city, county, and schools.

20 We're the taxpayers. We're the investors. It

21 is reasonable for the public to request

22 representation in these discussions. And

23 that's what I'm requesting, a seat at the

24 table.

25 It would allow the city, county,
 40

 1 school district to work together for a

 2 worthwhile cause, show us how much they really

 3 care about homelessness in our community.

 4 Addressing homelessness requires community wide

 5 commitment.

 6 I encourage you to support this

 7 initiative so that we develop a practical plan

 8 and ensure everyone has at least temporary

 9 shelter in cold weather like you all do.

10 We have warnings advising people to

11 keep their pets indoors when it's cold. And I

12 completely agree with that 1,000 percent. So

13 should we not extend that same courtesy and

14 care to human beings as well?

15 Let this sink in, Council. Give

16 this consideration. Whoever is on that

17 unhoused task force, bring this to your private

18 meeting. Have a Merry Christmas.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

20 MS. KOLOSKI: Good evening, Council,

21 Doris Koloski, Hill Section resident. Okay,

22 everything that Mr. Argenta that said about the

23 homeless, I think hopefully they will take that

24 into consideration because that's a pretty good

25 idea.
 41

 1 And being that the county is

 2 involved with the homeless, maybe they could

 3 use that county bus for transportation also

 4 that takes people to doctors' appointments.

 5 All right. I'm here to talk about the

 6 hospital.

 7 First I want to say, Mr. Smurl, I'm

 8 glad you said on WBRE today that you didn't

 9 want a hundred foot garage in your

10 neighborhood. I'm glad you acknowledged that.

11 And, Dr. Rothchild, I'm glad you're better in

12 your attendance today.

13 We have a concern as the neighbors

14 after last week where you voted to give the

15 hospital unfettered desire to do whatever they

16 want by changing the zoning and not having them

17 go to variance. And we want our seat at the

18 table. That's what I'm here about tonight.

19 The hospital said they would take

20 into consideration, they would have the

21 neighbors have a seat at the table while

22 they're making their plans out. We want you to

23 know that the hospital, yes, it's a concern for

24 the whole neighbor for healthcare.

25 But for the aesthetics and for what
 42

 1 the plans are that are going to be done for the

 2 hospital, it's really up to the neighbors that

 3 are going to be looking at that every day. We

 4 should have a seat at the table. And we want

 5 you to know that the Hill Neighborhood

 6 Association does not represent us.

 7 The President of the Hill

 8 Neighborhood Association, Brian Grassi went on

 9 Facebook calling us crybabies, morons and a few

10 other things. He posted boxes of tissues with

11 the things saying you'll need these when they

12 vote you down.

13 So we don't feel that they are going

14 to represent us. We don't feel the people that

15 don't live in the immediate area where the

16 hospital is building should have that seat at

17 the table to confer with the hospital.

18 And I know that the Hill

19 Neighborhood Association is trying to get a

20 committee together to report back to them. We,

21 the Area Park Neighbors, feel that we should

22 have that seat at the table.

23 And people that voted to give the

24 hospital whatever they wanted and have been

25 talking to the hospital since the summer
 43

 1 without including the neighbors, should be

 2 giving the hospital staff, Mr. Nick Coleman and

 3 whoever else is involved to convince them that

 4 it has to be somebody in the immediate area who

 5 is absolutely affected by this building, not

 6 somebody from Quincy Avenue or the six of

 7 Wheeler.

 8 It should be somebody from Arthur

 9 Avenue, somebody from Colfax Avenue in the

10 immediate area, the 200 blocks, the 400 block

11 and possibly the 500 block of Colfax, the 1800

12 block of Vine, anybody that is going to see

13 from their porches what is going to be there,

14 has to have a seat at the table.

15 And that's what I'm here to say.

16 And I feel that you have the hospital's ear and

17 obviously a few of you did. You should be

18 using the hospital's ear to whisper to them

19 that it needs to be somebody from our immediate

20 neighborhood.

21 MR. SMURL: Doris.

22 MS. KOLOSKI: Yes.

23 MR. SMURL: The meeting we had, the

24 meeting with Dr. Rothchild and myself, I had

25 offered while GCMC was there to take anyone and
 44

 1 meet with them. That offer still stands. It

 2 doesn't go away. No one volunteered. So if

 3 you give me a name or call me, and I'll arrange

 4 for you --

 5 MS. KOLOSKI: You will get a letter

 6 with the people's names on it that volunteered

 7 from Arthur Avenue. My name is on it for

 8 Colfax.

 9 MR. SMURL: Okay.

10 MS. KOLOSKI: And everybody at the

11 Council will be getting that letter if you

12 didn't already get it and so will the hospital.

13 So because we don't want people making the

14 decision for what we have to look at that

15 doesn't live anywhere near it.

16 MR. SMURL: That's understandable.

17 MS. KOLOSKI: And I also want to

18 wish all of you a very happy holiday whatever

19 you celebrate and happy, healthy new year.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

21 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little,

22 Scranton. We're going through very critical

23 times right now at every level, personal, the

24 city, the county, the state, the country,

25 internationally.
 45

 1 I was interested tonight to hear

 2 about the private meeting between Candice Owens

 3 and Erica Kirk because of that whole thing

 4 going on is exemplary of everything else that's

 5 going on. And a lot of it has to do with the

 6 media and the judiciary and especially around

 7 Christmastime, Hanukkah time, Ramadan time,

 8 religion.

 9 I could tell you the thing that

10 happened in Australia was a false flag. I

11 don't know how many people know what false

12 flags are. It's when things are reported that

13 the people behind them is just wrong.

14 And what I see happening in Scranton

15 and this whole thing is representative

16 government. I've often talked about the Home

17 Rule Charter how it takes -- I don't want to

18 say democracy because that word as all been

19 done.

20 But it takes the due process of a

21 constitutional republic just into crazy land,

22 how much our representatives are paid, how much

23 judges are paid and the length of their terms

24 and the way things can -- the due process and

25 questioning any of these decisions.
 46

 1 It's a fact that a lot of these

 2 judge's decisions partisan and they're

 3 administrative. And they -- a complete

 4 antithesis of a democratic republic

 5 constitutional governance, US Constitution, PA

 6 Constitution.

 7 As far as the homeless in Scranton

 8 goes, I have a great perspective on all of

 9 this. I went to the Mayor many years ago and

10 talked with her. She couldn't help me. I

11 applied for the same grants that the people

12 from Scranton Housing Authority applied for and

13 I should have been -- I applied like four

14 times.

15 I got intimate with the Area Agency

16 on Aging. But even before that, I spent every

17 day at the library. I was involved in family

18 court, which I believe is trafficking children

19 basically into single mother households and the

20 whole racial thing all over the place.

21 Remembering when the Mayor first got

22 into office she invited BLM and Intifada come.

23 And I'm looking over all my old footage of all

24 the things that happened then. And it's a

25 critical time right now.
 47

 1 As far as the homeless in Scranton

 2 is, we got Scranton Housing Authority. And the

 3 Mayor is in charge of that on paper. She

 4 appoints not only the police depart -- the

 5 Police Chief and the Fire Chief, but she

 6 appoints the code enforcement and the members

 7 of the board of Scranton Housing Authority.

 8 And they're like volunteers. They

 9 don't get paid nothing. And they go and they

10 vote at these meetings. And everything's been

11 wrong with these meetings, including the

12 wording in the minutes. I've noticed wording

13 in the minutes in the courts and everything.

14 But, you know, they vote. They go

15 in there to vote for the Executive Director who

16 worked for the District Attorney's Office who

17 is hiring all kinds of District Attorney's

18 Offices who's putting SPD people in jail like

19 Herring and Juan {phonetic}.

20 But he was the only person they

21 could vote for when they went. That ain't

22 democracy when there's one person running and

23 that person's making $183,000 to run it.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.
 48

 1 MOTIONS.

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

 3 any motions or comments?

 4 MR. KING: No motions, I just want

 5 to wish everyone happy holiday. It's been an

 6 honor to serve on Scranton City Council. And I

 7 wish the new Council that's going to be seated

 8 shortly all the best moving forward for our

 9 great city. Thank you.

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

11 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

12 comments?

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. So I just want

14 to say thank you to all of our city workers

15 over the past few weeks, especially the

16 Scranton Police Department and Fire Department

17 have been dealing with a lot.

18 Condolences to those families that

19 have lost loved ones and just say Merry

20 Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy holidays to

21 everyone and Happy New Year. That's all.

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

23 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

24 comments?

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: No, I don't have
 49

 1 anything at this time. Thank you.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

 3 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?

 4 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, so this being

 5 our last meeting for 2025 and we're losing two

 6 Council people. And, you know what, it's not

 7 easy serving on Council. It's not as easy as

 8 everyone thinks.

 9 There's a few armchair quarterbacks

10 that maybe won't agree with me, but, you know,

11 we juggle our families. We juggle our

12 full-time jobs. We juggle being on Council

13 trying to find time for everyone. I know

14 people just think we come here once a week and

15 that's it. And that's ridiculous to think that

16 or be accused of that.

17 So a lot of hard work goes into the

18 decisions we make, whether we agree with each

19 other or not. But with that said, I mean, I

20 would like to wish Mr. Smurl and Mr. King, you

21 know, whatever future holds for them, the best

22 for them. And I want to thank them for

23 serving.

24 And serving along side of them was a

25 part of the process. And you'll be missed, I'm
 50

 1 sure. So congrat -- you know, not

 2 congratulations, but best of luck in all of

 3 your endeavors.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 5 MR. MCANDREW: You too, Mr. King --

 6 Kinger. I don't think he could hear me over

 7 there.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I just want to agree

 9 with those sentiments. Thank you to Councilman

10 King and Councilman Smurl for your service to

11 the city. And I've appreciated being on

12 Council with the both of you and also wish you

13 the best of luck.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll also echo those

16 sentiments at this point in time. It was great

17 serving with you, Mr. Smurl and also Mr. King.

18 And I'm sure we'll be bumping into each other

19 in the future and good luck with all of your

20 endeavors.

21 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

22 MR. KING: Thank you. It's been a

23 pleasure working with all of you.

24 MR. SMURL: Absolutely. Well, it

25 is -- this was probably the fastest three years
 51

 1 of my life. We did a great deal of work this

 2 year together, agreeing or disagreeing. But we

 3 never took it out of this place.

 4 Our agreements, all of our --

 5 everybody's heart went into every decision

 6 we've all had. And everybody should know that.

 7 Everybody did what they thought at the time was

 8 the best for the city or was the best for the

 9 city. I think we did great.

10 I think our new Council is going to

11 do very well. And I can't wait for the new

12 Council to get started. And that will come

13 really quickly, but thank you, everyone.

14 Frank.

17 MR. SMURL: What is the

18 recommendation of the Chairperson for the

19 Committee on Finance?

20 MR. KING: As Chairperson for the

21 Committee on Finance, I recommend final passage

22 of this resolution.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

24 MR. SMURL: On the question?

25 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I've
 57

 1 made my opinions known on this for quite some

 2 time even going back to past capital budgets.

 3 You know, it was brought up tonight by Miss

 4 Hodowanitz about rising utility costs that

 5 weren't, you know, addressed in the -- in this

 6 year's budget.

 7 This resolution is to expand City

 8 Hall. We've made major park improvements that

 9 are going to need maintenance. We're going to

10 be doing a training center at the CTC. We have

11 the Serrenti Center. We have areas in the city

12 that are going to need to be maintained.

13 It's nice to have these things.

14 ARPA spending was used to do them. And we're

15 going to need to maintain them moving forward.

16 And I am afraid that expanding City Hall is

17 going to be something that sets us up for a

18 deficit down the road.

19 We also have a DPW contract that

20 hasn't been settled yet which is going to cause

21 expenditures to rise in the budget. With this

22 one here, you have both your expenditure side

23 rising because we're taking on more property.

24 We may be, you know, going up to 3

25 million dollars on renovations to that
 58

 1 building. And we're also taking away from the

 2 revenue side by taking that building off the

 3 tax rolls which compounds how this affects the

 4 city budget. And for those reasons I will be

 5 voting no for Item 7-D.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 7 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I stated my

 8 position anything related to this legislation

 9 with the purchase of the building next door.

10 You know, so first of all, we're taking it off

11 the tax rolls. That's obvious.

12 But it's a commercial building. And

13 when developers buy a commercial building,

14 especially downtown, their thought process is

15 going to be revenue producing, all right?

16 Every square foot should produce revenue. If

17 you're a good businessman, that's a good

18 business plan, right?

19 That's not what's going to happen

20 next door. There's revenue they're going to --

21 on paper as of yet that's going to -- first, we

22 lose -- it's off the tax rolls. But there is

23 no clear plan what they're going to do with the

24 remainder of the building outside of the LIPS

25 Department and the command center.
 59

 1 It's a three-story building. It's

 2 just going to cost us money. It's not going to

 3 produce money. So that again, one of the many

 4 reasons. And, you know, I haven't forgotten

 5 and you shouldn't forget that, you know, the

 6 conflict is the biggest reason why I am not in

 7 favor of next door.

 8 And that's the donation conflict

 9 that, you know, that media doesn't really want

10 to entertain and that's okay, but that doesn't

11 make it right. So again, I'll continue with my

12 vote no on anything related to this in good

13 conscience.
