23 3.A. CORRESPONDENCE DATED OCTOBER

24 28, 2025 FROM THE ANTHRACITE BIKE COALITION

25 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KUBA JAMES REGARDING SUPPORT
 4

 1 FOR THE DOWNTOWN SCRANTON WALKABILITY

 2 STREETSCAPE PROJECT.

 3 3.B. LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM LOCAL

 5 PROJECT ORDINANCES.

 6 3.C. LETTER FROM FIRETREE, LTD.

 7 RECEIVED OCTOBER 27, 2025, REGARDING

 8 RESIDENTIAL RE-ENTRY CENTER SERVICES.

 9 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

10 on any of the Third Order items?

11 MR. SCHUSTER: I just have one

12 comment. The letters of support for the

13 streetscape project, they were all standard

14 boilerplate letters with just signatures on

15 them. Do we know who collected those letters?

16 Do we know who collected those letters?

17 MR. SMURL: Who signed them and who

18 sent them out? Wayne Evans.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay.

20 MR. SMURL: Yeah, he typed it out

21 and he went to each one of them.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Gotcha. All right.

23 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?

24 MR. KING: I just would like to

25 extend my condolences to the family of David
 5

 1 Wenzel, Janet Wenzel and her entire family.

 2 Mayor Wenzel was a great mayor. He was a

 3 brave, brave individual, suffered a lot of

 4 personal sufferings and sacrificed for this

 5 country and for the city and he will be greatly

 6 missed. So my condolences to his entire

 7 family.

 8 MR. SMURL: Okay. On the third

 9 order items, if there's no other, received and

10 filed. Do any Council members have any

11 announcements at this time?

12 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I also just

13 wanted to echo that sentiment and give my

14 condolences to his family. Mayor Wenzel is a

15 very well-respected and well-regarded person in

16 our city. And I also thank him for his

17 sacrifices. And I'm sorry to hear of his

18 passing.

19 MR. MCANDREW: Okay, I'd also like

20 to offer my thoughts and prayers to the Wenzel

21 family. His lifelong devotion and dedication

22 to everything he did, so he was admirable and

23 he'll be missed, definitely be missed.

24 In addition to that, last week I

25 brought up, you know, the SNAP benefits have
 6

 1 ceased that, you know, we need to -- as a

 2 community come together like we always do and

 3 do our part and chip in.

 4 I did send -- I'll read that part in

 5 Fifth Order that I got a response back from the

 6 city because I asked then what local pantries

 7 and organizations that would benefit our

 8 citizens and residents.

 9 And to be -- what I got back was

10 just a link to a website that is for the most

11 part not local specific. It's Pittsburgh,

12 Allentown, Lancaster. So it wasn't what I was

13 looking for.

14 What I was looking for was a list

15 that our local -- a local list specific that,

16 you know, our residents can use as a resource.

17 So in addition to that, I found a couple. I'll

18 report them as I get them.

19 So the RailRiders are teaming up

20 with the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank

21 to host the emergency food drive on Tuesday,

22 November 11th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to benefit

23 local families.

24 The RailRiders are asking for

25 donations of nonperishable food items including
 7

 1 but not limited to canned foods, vegetables,

 2 pasta, rice, canned proteins, canned soup,

 3 instant coffee, dry beans.

 4 All right. So the club requested no

 5 items in glass containers be donated.

 6 Donations can be delivered at the Geisinger

 7 Plaza at PNC Field.

 8 Also, Senator Marty Flynn's offices

 9 is doing his part. If you or your family are

10 feeling the impact of the recent SNAP benefit

11 delays and changes, his offices are here to

12 help. They have prepackaged bags of food

13 available for anyone who needs a little extra

14 support.

15 And this is the West Side office

16 which is on 409 North Main Avenue, Jay's

17 Commons. I think everybody knows where that

18 is. So thank you to that.

19 And then I mentioned this more than

20 once that the Elm Street Park Church has free

21 dinners. And, you know, I'm sure the

22 participation will increase with the, you know,

23 the SNAP benefit issue. So this Saturday

24 they're having a dinner.

25 It's free to the public, is chicken,
 8

 1 mashed potatoes, vegetable, salad, drink and

 2 dessert. It starts at 5:30. Doors are open at

 3 5. Come early before dinner and socialize with

 4 everyone that is there. You will leave with a

 5 full stomach and your heart filled with joy.

 6 And I'm also -- tomorrow I'm making

 7 a dessert for this event and I'll be dropping

 8 it off to do my part. And that is all I have

 9 right now.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: I have one

11 announcement. The City DPW will not work

12 Tuesday, November 11th, for observance of

13 Veteran's Day. Trash and recycle pickup will

14 be one day delayed.

15 MR. KING: Mr. McAndrew, I just

16 found something that somebody sent me the other

17 day. It's called the Heart of Scranton

18 fundraiser -- heart of Scranton virtual

19 fundraiser. Mayor Paige Cognetti leading

20 virtual fund-raising event addressing food

21 insecurity partnership with Scranton Area

22 Community Foundation, United Way of Lackawanna,

23 Wayne and Pike counties.

24 The Heart of Scranton is a virtual

25 fundraiser to help out our neighbors. It's
 9

 1 taking place from October 29th until November

 2 30th. Donors may choose to support any of the

 3 following participating organizations,

 4 including Meals on Wheels of NEPA, Friends of

 5 the Poor and Catherine McAuley Center, CHOP Out

 6 Hunger, Bread Basket of NEPA, Commission on

 7 Economic Opportunity, Salvation Army, and The

 8 Indigo Spoon Foundation or contribute to the

 9 Scranton Area Community Foundation’s general

10 campaign to benefit all four.

11 Gifts made through SACF’s campaign

12 will be evenly distributed among all

13 participating organizations. And they say that

14 a hundred percent of all donations if it's a --

15 except for credit card fees, will go directly

16 to support these nonprofits who are doing

17 mission-critical work to get food on the table

18 for every home in Scranton.

19 Donations may also be made by check

20 payable to the Scranton Area Community

21 Foundation with “Heart of Scranton” noted on

22 the memo. Checks can be mailed to Scranton

23 Area Community Foundation, 612 Jefferson

24 Avenue, Scranton, PA 18510.

25 MR. MCANDREW: That's great. So
 10

 1 where is that visible for the --

 2 MR. KING: I don't know where that's

 3 visible. I think the Scranton Area Foundation

 4 maybe on their website or --

 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: I believe it's on

 6 the City's website as well.

 7 MR. MCANDREW: It's there?

 8 MR. KING: Oh, it's on the City's

 9 website, yeah.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: And it seems like

11 donations can be made from October 29th of 2025

12 to November 30th of 2025.

13 MR. KING: Correct.

14 MR. SMURL: Okay, one more thing.

15 Our work sessions with the administration next

16 Thursday, November, 13th is at 5:30 in Council

17 Chambers, then Tuesday, November, 18th at 5:30

18 and then Tuesday, November 25th at 5:30. And

19 that will be on our 2026 budget. Frank, if you

20 could put that in Third Order so we can get it

21 up?

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

25 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.
 11

 1 MR. SMURL: First Joan Hodowanitz.

 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

 3 Scranton. Well, I don't know where you five

 4 were last night. But I was at the event for

 5 David Wenzel, the event I mentioned here at

 6 least twice. I mentioned it at the County

 7 Commissioner's meetings twice.

 8 And I'm embarrassed to say that not

 9 one of you, not the current Mayor and not any

10 of the County Commissioners showed up last

11 night. Now, Mayor Peters was there. Mayor

12 Doherty was there. Senator Casey was there.

13 Judge Tom Munley was there. Joe Riccardo was

14 there and a host of other people. And it

15 wasn't closed to the public.

16 It was, just call. We'd love to

17 have you come. Ironically, just as we were

18 finishing the event the phone rang. And it was

19 to notify Janet that her husband had passed.

20 That's how close it was.

21 I'm very fortunate though in that

22 ECTV was there recording the event as were

23 several of the local TV stations and ECTV has

24 graciously offered to make me five DVDs of the

25 event so I could give one to Janet for her
 12

 1 family, give one to the Lackawanna Historical

 2 Society, give one to the Scranton Public

 3 Library. I'm going to keep one. And I'll have

 4 one that I don't know what I'll do with quite

 5 yet.

 6 But if ever there was a public

 7 servant, it was David Wenzel. And I don't say

 8 that just because of his wartime experience, a

 9 triple amputee. You got to understand, for the

10 entire Vietnam War, we lost 58,000 service

11 members. We also had 52 service members who

12 were triple amputees. And Dave Wenzel was one

13 of them.

14 That man could have sat back and let

15 the government give him a free ride, but he

16 didn't. And as long as he had the energy to do

17 it, he tried to contribute to this community.

18 Now, I don't know what you all are planning

19 when his funeral rolls around.

20 But here's what I suggest, take five

21 straws and whichever one of you draws the short

22 straw, get your ass over to the funeral and

23 represent the Council and pay your respects.

24 You owe him that.

25 And somebody please take the Mayor
 13

 1 with you. Maybe she could take a day off from

 2 campaigning. I'm very embarrassed to say that

 3 the local leadership, both the county level and

 4 the city level was a no show last night.

 5 Now, let's talk about the budget. I

 6 haven't had time to go through it line by line

 7 but I will. I see the DPW Director is in for a

 8 major pay raise of eight or nine grand. Now I

 9 was reading the narrative.

10 And in the narrative it says, you

11 know, we got to give these people pay raises,

12 the nonunion people to be competitive with the

13 other cities in the Commonwealth. Well, here's

14 my philosophy coming out of the military.

15 You don't get promoted and get a pay

16 raise just because your neighbor got a pay

17 raise, the me too philosophy. You get a pay

18 raise if you have documented evidence that you

19 have performed beyond expectations. And I do

20 mean documented. You have a job description.

21 You have metrics and it's on paper.

22 And you show that you have the

23 potential for higher responsibility in the

24 future. It doesn't matter what your

25 neighboring city is paying. It matters what
 14

 1 you have done and what you're capable of doing.

 2 And I'm not interested in recruiting and

 3 retaining people because the city next door is

 4 paying more or paying less.

 5 I want to see people performing.

 6 Too often we've had people come into leadership

 7 positions and they'll walk away. And if you

 8 want, I'll give you a list of names. But I

 9 don't think you want that. Also, payroll is

10 going up 1.5 million dollars.

11 But that does not include pay raises

12 for the DPW union workers because they have no

13 contract. And when they do get a contract,

14 you're going to have to open the budget up and

15 add it in there. Thank you.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Mike

17 Mancini.

18 MR. MANCINI: Good evening,

19 everyone. Yesterday, our city lost a dear

20 friend of Scranton. Rest in peace, Mayor

21 Wenzel. I'm honored to stand before you this

22 evening to reflect on the recent Scranton local

23 election, a pivotal moment for our community

24 and a testament to the enduring strength of our

25 democracy.
 15

 1 Over the past few weeks, Scranton

 2 residents came together to exercise one of our

 3 most and fundamental rights, the right to vote.

 4 The energy and the passion displayed at the

 5 polling stations across the city were nothing

 6 short of inspiring.

 7 This election was more than just a

 8 contest between candidates or political

 9 parties. It was a conversation about our

10 shared values, our hopes for the future and our

11 commitment to building a stronger Scranton,.

12 Whether you supported the winners or

13 the runner ups, your participation signalled

14 that you care deeply about our city's

15 direction. Voter turnout of this election was

16 a powerful reminder that democracy is alive and

17 well in Scranton.

18 We saw citizens from every

19 neighborhood young and old, long time residents

20 and newcomers who made their voices heard.

21 This engagement is always the life blood of

22 local government ensuring that our leaders

23 truly represent the will of the people.

24 Let us acknowledge and congratulate

25 those who were elected to serve on the City
 16

 1 Council, the school board, and in other

 2 important roles. Winning public office is both

 3 an honor and a tremendous responsibility.

 4 To our new leaders, we look to you

 5 for vision, integrity and a genuine commitment

 6 to solving the challenges we face. We ask that

 7 you listen to all constituents, work together

 8 and put the needs of Scranton families first.

 9 To those who did not win, I want to

10 express gratitude for your courage and

11 dedication. Running for office is never easy.

12 It takes time, sacrifice, and a sincere desire

13 to make a positive difference. Your ideas and

14 perspectives have contributed to a richer, more

15 dynamic public debate.

16 And we hope you continue to be

17 active voices in our community. As we move

18 forward from this election, let it not be the

19 end of our civic engagement, rather the

20 beginning of a new chapter. The work is not

21 finished when the bells are counted.

22 In fact, it has just begun. Let's

23 hold our local leaders accountable, stay

24 informed and participate at our community

25 events and discussions.
 17

 1 Each of us has a role to play in

 2 shaping the future of our city. I want to

 3 thank every poll worker, volunteer, and

 4 candidate who helped make this election

 5 possible.

 6 And most importantly, I would like

 7 to thank the voters of Scranton for showing

 8 once again that our city believes in democracy

 9 and progress and in one another.

10 In closing, I will continue to speak

11 before Council because I care about our city.

12 I will continue to try and get the needs of our

13 residents addressed with proper solutions. Our

14 city deserves the best because of our citizens

15 and Scranton's untapped potential. Together,

16 let's build a Scranton we could all be proud

17 of. Thank you.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

19 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

20 People, I was informed that crooked Scranton

21 has about 6,000 light poles. The city owns

22 them and PP&L services them. I don't know what

23 the cost is. I couldn't find out. That's not

24 too important anyway.

25 The 2017 upgrade by First Energy
 18

 1 replaced the 60 watt to 100 watt sodium bulbs

 2 with lower 20 to 50 watt energy saving LED

 3 bulbs.

 4 We went from 60 watts to 20. It's

 5 not enough. Now, the financial savings ran

 6 from 32 cents a kilowatt to 9 cents, which is

 7 tremendous saving. But it's an expensive poor

 8 lighting. Our streets are dark.

 9 The newer LED bulbs apparently shine

10 directly downward where the sodium bulbs had a

11 big large perimeter and were much brighter.

12 Well, so where are we? We're at the cost of

13 brightness if you ask me. Sodium at 32 cents a

14 kilowatt compared to LED, 9 cents, that's a

15 tremendous savings of 23 cents a light.

16 Now, seven years, where did all of

17 that money go? Nobody would tell me a thing

18 about the savings what it was spent for, where

19 it went, what it was used for. I'm not saying

20 it was misused. But there's -- nobody seems to

21 have a record of the savings.

22 There has to be some kind of record

23 about what it costs now and what it costs then

24 a year. I tell you one thing, you drive from

25 Johnson Tech to Market Street, it's so dark you
 19

 1 have to use bright lights to avoid running into

 2 one of those 6,000 light poles.

 3 Maybe the Mayor since this should --

 4 falls under her office, maybe she has some kind

 5 of comment once -- a solution or something

 6 about lighting because it's very poor. And I

 7 was hopeful maybe the new Council might address

 8 the free parking for veterans and handicap

 9 people from those parasites you gave 10

10 million -- 2 million dollars to save them.

11 Thank you.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les

13 Spindler.

14 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

15 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

16 homeowner. Well, the results of the election

17 on Tuesday, I think the country sent Donald

18 Trump a message that they're not satisfied with

19 the direction the country's going.

20 On two separate polls I saw that

21 night, that's what they said. There were two

22 separate polls that stated most -- a good

23 majority of people polled were dissatisfied in

24 the direction the country is going contrary to

25 what a couple people come here and talk about
 20

 1 every week.

 2 Next thing, I want to congratulate

 3 all the winners in our city election and wish

 4 them good luck. And maybe if the -- if our

 5 Council majority voted against that ridiculous

 6 streetscape plan, the election would have been

 7 different.

 8 But I think that election also

 9 showed the direction the city is going in. And

10 they're not happy with what Council did passing

11 that ridiculous program. It was a stupid idea.

12 I wasn't against the whole thing. But again,

13 you don't replace traffic lights with stop

14 signs and think that's going to be safer.

15 So I know I think, Mr. Smurl, that's

16 why you didn't win. And I think if Mr. King

17 ran, he wouldn't have won either. And it

18 doesn't sound good for Councilwoman Rothchild

19 when she's up for election again because

20 everybody I spoke to was against that.

21 I said it two weeks ago the poll --

22 Channel 28-22 said 85 percent of the people

23 were against it. So all you -- the majority,

24 all you do is when the Mayor pulls your

25 strings, you do what she wants you to do.
 21

 1 And that's why we're having a

 2 different Council in January. Hopefully -- and

 3 not hopefully, I know that we're going to have

 4 a better Council. And they're going to stick

 5 up for the people, not stick up for what the

 6 Mayor tells you to do.

 7 Lastly, finally, the subsidence on

 8 Dorothy Street was fixed by DPW. As I stated

 9 last week, it shouldn't have been their

10 responsibility. That was the water company's

11 responsibility to do it. And it took from June

12 until last week for that to get it fixed.

13 And it's unbelievable. There's no

14 way it should have been that long. And with

15 the street -- there were barriers around there

16 from June until last week. And hopefully what

17 DPW did is going to hold up. We'll see. Time

18 will tell.

19 Lastly, I also want to send my

20 thoughts and prayers to David Wenzel's family.

21 He was a great man. And he'll be missed.

22 Thank you for your time.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all

24 for our sign-in sheet. Does anybody else wish

25 to speak?
 22

 1 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council,

 2 Tom Coyne, Minooka. First of all, I wanted to

 3 refer to the list of supporters for the

 4 walkability in the minutes.

 5 They now appear after the vote.

 6 It's always interesting when people who never

 7 show up appear on the last day because the

 8 people who appeared for the Center City

 9 Streetscape had direct financial interest and

10 it directly impact -- improved the property

11 that they owned or had invested in.

12 Council gave a lot of support to a

13 single opinion and direction, once again,

14 ignoring the rules of Council that the

15 President swore to uphold when he apologized

16 before and then broke them two more times.

17 Moving on, tonight we have a bunch

18 of grants; parking garage vendor, another

19 246,000, nonprofit groups, nonprofit building

20 renovations, $176,000 for an Animal Control

21 vehicle.

22 So the grants to support the for

23 parking -- the for profit parking and the

24 non-profits tonight are running $581,000. And

25 for the poor and hungry, we have a resolution,
 23

 1 a statement asking the Mayor to make a

 2 statement that she cares and then at some point

 3 will maybe serve action on the issues of

 4 homelessness and hunger sometime if she's still

 5 here.

 6 I'm sure the resolution will provide

 7 comfort when asking someone to confirm that

 8 they do care. Will it feed the poor and

 9 hungry? Will it house the homeless? We gave

10 what, $10,000 to a nonprofit to hire a

11 coordinator position for food and assistance

12 because I guess they don't have any phone or

13 e-mail, but no funds the actual food and

14 assistance.

15 The Keystone center was running a

16 code blue at Weston Field. And they're gone.

17 Back in the day, Councilman Bill King asked if

18 there was a potential site for a transformation

19 center that's been identified.

20 Barons from the Keystone Mission

21 said no. Thank goodness as they took the money

22 from the same in Wilkes-Barre and ran. We have

23 a night a Weston Field for code blue. But for

24 the daytime when Weston Field is closed since

25 there's no longer a Keystone day center, should
 24

 1 the homeless now come and sit in City Hall as

 2 the daycare center?

 3 Can we line them up out in front on

 4 both sides of the hall out front of Licensing

 5 and Inspection and give them shelter here?

 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: CIC, Community

 7 Intervention Center is open during the day.

 8 MR. COYNE: My time. Afterwards.

 9 My time.

10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Sure.

11 MR. COYNE: We don't have Norma

12 pushing for food drives. And it seems though

13 we put forth a concept of a citywide food drive

14 as the city could have drop-offs at DPW, City

15 Hall, Weston Field, firehouses; but I guess

16 without Norma, we don't have a clue on how to

17 coordinate kindness.

18 How about the unpaid allocated funds

19 for the unfilled director positions? Why not

20 take that unspent but unallocated money and

21 provide it for hunger? Onward, Mr. King, we

22 watched your face turn red. We're concerned

23 that you're going to stroke out one of these

24 days. You get so upset.

25 You say I love how the people come
 25

 1 and criticize. That's fine. I'm a big boy.

 2 It's water off a duck's back. I could take it.

 3 And then for the next five to seven minutes

 4 show that you're not fine.

 5 You repeatedly regurgitate how the

 6 city is better than it -- and it is. But you

 7 can't claim the Recovery Act as you constantly

 8 try to claim the 67 million dollars and try to

 9 give the administration credit. Do you take

10 credit for COVID and the deaths because that

11 came out of the same process.

12 You want to own the credit for

13 something that was not the action of the city's

14 at all as if it was something the city did

15 miraculously that made the money appear. And

16 it's not true.

17 Things were getting neglected and

18 did get fixed by the money from the plague that

19 the federal government shared with everyone.

20 The claim to fame for the Covid money is we

21 spent the money.

22 Last, we have President Smurl who

23 invented a rule. Can you tell me where Council

24 rules says for public participation that

25 Scranton Tomorrow gets more than five minutes
 26

 1 because they represent multiple groups?

 2 Wayne Evans appeared here and said

 3 I'm not here tonight as a former Mayor or City

 4 Councilman or city planner. I'm here tonight

 5 as a resident. But unlike everyone else who is

 6 limited to five minutes, you gave him 10

 7 uninterrupted minutes.

 8 Can you point to me where these

 9 secret Council special rules are for special

10 people? There are rules, yes. The procedure

11 is five minutes for everyone and you could ask

12 for a five-minute extension after you're

13 stopped and the President can do it. It's not

14 supposed to be selectively given out. It's

15 supposed to be open for everyone who needs

16 extra time.

17 And it seems that like everything

18 else, the President does not know the rules of

19 his own body. Good night.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

21 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik

22 Little, Scranton. My condolences to Mayor

23 David Wenzel and his family. I'd like to talk

24 about what everybody is discussing democracy,

25 the elections, and I'm the biggest loser in the
 27

 1 Mayoral election.

 2 But I was wondering at the election,

 3 I went to the Election Board today and during

 4 the debate, Mayor Cognetti said that somebody

 5 on this panel which was me and Trish Beynon

 6 and Mr. Barrett is going to be Mayor if she

 7 becomes Congresswoman.

 8 But is that a law? It seems like

 9 too many people are -- there's policy,

10 procedure, and protocol mixed in with the law.

11 And I don't -- I don't understand how she can

12 say that. I've been trying -- they told me at

13 the Election Board to ask the attorney here

14 what the basis for that is.

15 But I'd like some sort of an

16 announcement on that, like, does she -- is it

17 picked by -- I mean, we've seen it how it went

18 in county, you know, with the Home Rule Charter

19 is picked by -- you know, it's replaced by a

20 person of the same party or is it the person

21 with the most votes and that's Trish Beynon.

22 She should be the Mayor if Paige

23 leaves. But, who knows. It changes all the

24 time. Like, I'd come here and I'd ask the

25 attorney here, you know, who owns Scranton
 28

 1 Housing Authority. And Sean Gallagher says

 2 HUD.

 3 It turns out that wasn't right.

 4 Anyway, there was a problem in the whole -- in

 5 my mind -- the in the whole governance,

 6 especially with the Home Rule Charter. It's

 7 totally overweighted with party and the

 8 judiciary.

 9 And when I said judiciary, I mean

10 also the criminal judiciary which is the

11 District Attorney. Now, there's article in the

12 paper about something that happened at the

13 poll. Somebody was writing her name in as a

14 Judge of Elections.

15 And I got the numbers for the, you

16 know, the unofficial thing for who's Judge of

17 Elections and who's Inspector of Elections.

18 But that's not included in the thing. And they

19 told me, well, it takes a week, week and a half

20 for the overseas ballots to come in or whatever

21 like that.

22 But this is all important because

23 all the major boards and when I say board, I

24 mean board, agency. There's all different

25 words for them. And lot of these boards like
 29

 1 the Scranton Housing Authority Board, is

 2 appointed by the Mayor, which was one of my

 3 main things. She appoints the Police Chief,

 4 the Fire Chief, the Code Enforcement.

 5 And these people -- and it turns out

 6 that they're all volunteers. They don't get

 7 paid. There's five of them. And they get

 8 there and they have an election when they get

 9 there to elect the Executive Director of

10 Scranton Housing Authority.

11 And there's only one person running

12 and he won 3 to 2. But this is just wrong.

13 The amount of, you know, criminal prosecutors

14 working in the housing thing and also being so

15 connected with the Election Board and election

16 inspectors. And like I've been saying, these

17 public housing units are voting farms.

18 They're democrat voting farms. I've

19 been to all of them. I've talked to the

20 people, especially at Park Gardens. These are

21 hardcore democrat people. They're about to be

22 evicted. And they will be evicted. And

23 there's no due process with it.

24 But people have to start. We have

25 to -- the judiciary is the main biggest thing
 30

 1 in the redistricting of this whole entire area.

 2 And I guess I'll wait until next week to really

 3 talk about this because I'm out of time.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

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

 6 MOTIONS.

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

 8 any motions or comments?

 9 MR. KING: I'd just like to thank

10 Mr. Coyne for expressing concern about my

11 health. I have this nice red glow from all

12 summer from golfing and being out in the wind

13 and raising three daughters so -- and from

14 serving on Council as well, I guess, partially.

15 But I would like to congratulate all

16 the winners of the election this past week,

17 including Mr. Schuster here and Mr. McAndrew

18 sitting in the back there and Patrick Flynn who

19 will be joining this Council.

20 I want to thank everyone who has

21 served including myself and Jerry. You've --

22 I also want to give a lot of credit to anyone

23 that put their name on the ballot. Anybody

24 that was willing to go out and do the work, get

25 the -- you know, collect those names, knocking
 31

 1 on doors, walking through neighborhoods,

 2 raising funds, doing what it takes because you

 3 put yourself out there and it's not easy.

 4 And you do get criticized and that's

 5 part of it. That's -- that's the nature of it.

 6 But democracy ruled. People won and there were

 7 people who won and some people lost and some

 8 people chose not to run, you know, and it is

 9 what it is. But I have faith in this city.

10 I have faith in the new people that

11 are going to be sitting up here taking our

12 places. And I have faith that -- because I

13 know the people that are going to be sitting up

14 in our spots. And I trust that they care about

15 the city as much as I do.

16 And a lot of people maybe in here

17 don't think I made a lot of right decisions. I

18 did make decisions that I felt was in the best

19 interest of this city.

20 It might not be the popular

21 decision, but that's what I did. And I care

22 about this city, born and raised in this city,

23 number seven of eight kids, four of which all

24 still live here, taxpayers, homeowners, all my

25 kids went to Scranton public schools.
 32

 1 My wife teaches in the Scranton

 2 public schools. I plan to live here long after

 3 I'm on City Council. And I plan to be part of

 4 trying to continue to make the city better and

 5 do my part, you know, it won't be as big a part

 6 as serving on Council.

 7 But I'll continue to work and

 8 promote the Steamtown Marathon and do things

 9 that benefit our city when I have an

10 opportunity. I do sincerely want to wish the

11 new incoming Council the best of luck.

12 I want to wish the Mayor the best of

13 luck moving forward. And once again, thank all

14 those who chose to run for office, win, lose or

15 draw, I give you a lot of credit to go out and

16 do that work and put your name out there. So

17 that's all I have. Thank you.

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

19 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or

20 comments?

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. I had a few

22 questions from the October 28th meeting that I

23 received answers for and I'll report them out

24 now. So that night 3-C on the evening agenda

25 was a budget transfer. And the transfer, it
 33

 1 was within the Department of Public Works.

 2 The transfer is going to cover the

 3 cost of the remainder of the year for the radio

 4 community system provided by Industrial

 5 Electronics through the Department of Public

 6 Works. So they transferred money just to make

 7 sure that we had that covered for the year.

 8 I had asked about an update on our

 9 MS-4 permitting for Scranton and where the city

10 is in terms of communication with other

11 surrounding municipalities in regard to

12 stormwater.

13 And the answer that I got back was

14 that the city completed the annual MS-4 report

15 and submits it to DEP. The city and its

16 advisors, HRG, are continuing to compile data

17 and will schedule a meeting with the

18 surrounding municipalities in coordination with

19 DEP in the near future to discuss stormwater.

20 I had a question about 3103 McCarthy

21 Street in Minooka. It was a house that had

22 a -- there was issues with the home but it --

23 and also caught on fire at one point in time.

24 So I wanted the city administration to assist

25 in following up with code enforcement regarding
 34

 1 the long-term issues that were going on at that

 2 house.

 3 Some of the neighbors had made

 4 complaints regarding rodents, a dangerous

 5 structure, alleged drug activities. And the

 6 answer that I got back was that code

 7 enforcement -- the Code Enforcement Department

 8 has confirmed that permits for the property

 9 located at 3103 McCarthy Street are open and

10 active. So those construction permits are open

11 and active.

12 Code enforcement continues to

13 monitor the situation in accordance with all

14 applicable procedures. Can we just, Mr.

15 Voldenberg, ask that we just check the permits,

16 check the contractor's license, make sure this

17 is being done properly at that address 3103

18 McCarthy?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll verify it in

20 the morning.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I had --

22 I got some positive feedback about the Weston

23 Field Skate Park. And the neighbors were very

24 happy about the investments made to Weston

25 Park. However, at the skate park there were
 35

 1 individuals there until 2 and 3 a.m., reported

 2 after dark.

 3 So we asked about -- I asked about

 4 the hours of operation for the skate park and

 5 does the park close at dusk? And the city

 6 responded back that all city parks close at

 7 dusk. The Parks Department can request extra

 8 patrols based on police need and availability.

 9 Residents may contact the Scranton

10 Police if they have any concern about people in

11 the park after dusk. So the suggestion there

12 is just that the residents in the area contact

13 the police if there is anyone in thereafter

14 dusk.

15 There was an address at 2501

16 Boulevard Avenue. They've complained of

17 flooding in the area for years. And I put them

18 in contact with the city engineers and the city

19 coordinator. I had asked if the city had

20 contacted the residents there at that address.

21 And what I got back is that city

22 engineers have evaluated the situation and they

23 have determined that the issue involves a 36

24 inch PA Water infrastructure pipe at that

25 property. And PA Water has been notified and
 36

 1 the City Engineer is in the process of scoping

 2 the potential solution so that PA Water can

 3 implement using their existing infrastructure.

 4 I also -- a couple weeks back and

 5 also in the summer I asked about a gateway

 6 project for West Scranton and signage because

 7 there was funding for that signage. So I asked

 8 in regard to Item 4-A on October 27th what the

 9 funding source was for the gateway signage.

10 And they stated that the funding for the

11 signage is an LSA Grant.

12 When we received a draft copy of the

13 budget, one thing I noticed right off the bat

14 was that the third party pave cut company was

15 down from $500,000 to $300,000 in the budget.

16 So that was a surprise to me. But we started a

17 new pave cut process this year.

18 And, Mr. Voldenberg, I'm going to

19 make a request for some information. Since the

20 project has started or since this new protocol,

21 if you will, has started, can we just get the

22 number of permits that were requested and then

23 the amount of revenue since the start of the

24 year with the new pave cut process?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.
 37

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: In the past I got

 2 information I believe from 2021 to 2024. But

 3 if we could, can we request information from

 4 2016 to 2020 regarding revenue when it comes to

 5 the pave cut inspector?

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that also.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 8 And then the last thing is, can we also inquire

 9 about where we're at with the DPW CBA?

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

12 very much. That's all.

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

14 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

15 comments?

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First

17 off, I do have a list of food pantries. It's a

18 pretty comprehensive list of food pantries

19 throughout Lackawanna County. It's divvied up

20 into daily, weekly, and monthly pantries. And

21 it's been locally updated as well. And it's

22 through a website I think, CEO People Helping

23 People dot org.

24 And so I will provide the rest of

25 Council and the administration if they'd like
 38

 1 it, the list that they have posted there

 2 because that should be easy enough then for us

 3 to use and also post so people have the

 4 resources that they need.

 5 And I do want to thank all of the

 6 people who have been so generous in this time

 7 where SNAP benefits are at risk and people may

 8 not have enough money for their basic needs or

 9 their children's basic needs.

10 And so, you know, I appreciate how

11 much we've come together as a community and how

12 many people are stepping up and offering food

13 and other items to people who need it. I had

14 a -- well, an update about the Code Blue

15 Shelter.

16 There has been significant progress.

17 We're just waiting on finalizing an MOU with

18 the people who will be able to take over the

19 code blue or help the city out with it this

20 winter and an announcement will be coming very

21 soon I'm assured.

22 So I can't say much more now, but

23 that will be coming out shortly. And I'm happy

24 that we've worked together to get the Code Blue

25 Shelter up and running for the winter as I'm
 39

 1 hopeful for that.

 2 I also did want to provide Mr. Coyne

 3 with an answer. He did ask a question

 4 regarding what shelters there are during the

 5 day for people who are homeless who might need

 6 it especially when it is cold out.

 7 And so Community Intervention

 8 Center, CIC, that is open to unhoused people

 9 who can go there for a number of services and

10 much of the same services that Keystone Mission

11 had offered previously. And they have actually

12 found at one point that all those services were

13 duplicated.

14 So it's -- it's good that they

15 are -- they're still in operation and a good

16 resource for people during the day. And I

17 wanted to thank the administration for working

18 on getting two streets paved down in the lower

19 Hill Section, Pine Street and East Gibson

20 Street.

21 These for the past few months, a lot

22 of the blacktop had been washed up and were

23 blocking drains and were in the roadway and now

24 they've both been paved. And so I'm sure the

25 residents and the people who are going to the
 40

 1 hospitals there in the Hill Section are very

 2 happy that that has been repaired.

 3 And I know we had contracted that

 4 out. So I appreciate it. And then I also

 5 wanted to bring up an intersection in the Hill

 6 at East Gibson and North Webster Avenue, which

 7 I believe Councilman McAndrew had brought up

 8 previously because we had a resident bring it

 9 to our attention that -- I believe it was

10 American Water but I could be incorrect on that

11 that had been doing work on North Webster

12 Avenue and had to go back into the pavement at

13 that intersection where there are freshly

14 painted crosswalks.

15 And so not only do we need the

16 painted crosswalks to be repaired, but also

17 that pavement is now sinking in. So I don't

18 know if it was compacted correctly or what, but

19 I would like to get our inspectors out there

20 and get them back as soon as possible to make

21 those repairs, which I've already asked Mr.

22 Voldenberg to do, so thank you.

23 And I was -- also, last week I had

24 attended the Hill Neighborhood Association

25 meeting. They're getting back up and going.
 41

 1 And I know a lot of neighborhood groups around

 2 the city are which is -- which I think is a

 3 really great thing.

 4 And so I was happy to go there and

 5 to speak and what I had suggested and which I

 6 think could be a good suggestion for other

 7 neighborhood groups is that they have maybe a

 8 liaison that can come to Council when there are

 9 concerns regarding their neighborhood or things

10 that we can address and that may make it easier

11 when there's that point person who could -- who

12 could bring that to us and it's coming from the

13 neighborhood groups. So that was one of the

14 things that we had discussed.

15 They had also brought to my

16 attention over on Poplar Street which I was

17 aware that Poplar Street, a section of it has

18 been closed for quite some time. It's where

19 there's the old stone road. And it's, I

20 believe, quite treacherous and in disrepair and

21 a lot of overgrowth there.

22 And they were wondering if there

23 were any updates on Poplar Street if there is

24 any potential for that to be repaired or paved

25 over or what plans there may be. I think they
 42

 1 were interested at some point in putting a

 2 welcome to the Hill Section sign in that area.

 3 But right now it wouldn't -- it might not be

 4 the best place with the appearance.

 5 And lastly, I just wanted to make a

 6 few comments on the election. I wanted to

 7 first congratulate Mayor Cognetti on her

 8 reelection. I also wanted to thank Councilman

 9 Bill King for the time that he's served on

10 Council and I know he has until -- until

11 December still.

12 But I appreciate all the work that

13 he's done for Council. And I'm sorry that he

14 didn't seek reelection. But I do also want to

15 congratulate the winners for Council. And I'm

16 looking forward to working with the new Council

17 in January. I do ask for open communication

18 and honesty.

19 I think that Council can be most

20 effective in that way. And also whoever is

21 president will need to -- will need to

22 collaborate with all of Council and with the

23 Mayor and her administration. Even if they

24 don't always agree, this -- the communication

25 still needs to be there in order for us to,
 43

 1 like I said, be effective and make meaningful

 2 change for the city.

 3 And I also wanted to thank

 4 Councilman Smurl for his work on Council and as

 5 President of Council. I have been on here for

 6 six years, so I've seen a number of our -- of

 7 people in that position, including Bill

 8 Gaughan, Kyle Donohue, Jerry and Bill King, of

 9 course. And I know that it's not an easy

10 position to be in.

11 And he has certainly been very

12 hardworking in that time, the amount of --

13 I've seen the amount of time and commitment

14 that he's poured into this Council. And I'm

15 sorry that he won't be continuing to serve come

16 January.

17 But I just want him to know that I

18 appreciate all of his work here as should you

19 all because I think he's done a lot for the

20 community. And I know that he will continue to

21 do a lot for the community too in his volunteer

22 work that he does for Nay Aug and a lot of

23 other things that he does, so thank you.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

25 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any
 1 44

 1 motions or comments?

 2 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a couple

 3 inquiries from residents. MR. MCANDREW: Yeah,

 4 I have a couple inquiries from residents, the

 5 first being from a young lady who lives on

 6 Factory Place. She said she's been calling DPW

 7 to come and fill some holes in the alley which

 8 is her only way in and out.

 9 But they haven't gotten there yet,

10 and it really needs to be paved. So could you

11 please put that on DPW's radar and get some

12 type of answer from them?

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

14 McAndrew.

15 MR. MCANDREW: If it's going to be

16 done. Also, I received another note from a

17 gentleman and he says and -- and, like I said,

18 sometimes the best ideas come from our

19 residents, right, so and he said I could use

20 his note. Feel free to this letter so I'm

21 going to.

22 I'm writing to you in hope that you

23 will revisit the existing problem in the city

24 involving the homeless camps. I recently

25 visited the Community Intervention Center to
 1 45

 1 make a donation which I will continue to do.

 2 So he supports the best he can, the

 3 homeless. They are in need of so many

 4 different items to help those who are in need.

 5 Today he stopped along the road behind the

 6 Sheetz on Linden Street so he could get a

 7 better view of the encampment.

 8 He states that the entire

 9 surrounding -- this camp is a mess filled with

10 litter. I know that not all people living in

11 this area by -- it's by their choice. But if

12 they are living there, they should keep the

13 area free from debris, not only for the

14 aesthetics, but for their own safety to be free

15 of animals attracted to trash.

16 And he states what are your thoughts

17 on this and he goes, maybe trash receptacles

18 could be placed in these areas with a mandate

19 that the police -- that they police the area

20 for or so, you know, this trash is removed.

21 He says I feel sure you known who to

22 contact regarding this. So I'm doing it now on

23 his behalf. And again, he said feel free to

24 use your letter. So I am. Like I said, this

25 is a good idea. So let's see if this is
 1 46

 1 possible to help with, you know, his concern.

 2 So last week -- and this is an

 3 ongoing problem with the railroad bridges.

 4 It's been going since I'm here. And I brought

 5 it up a couple times.

 6 And last week I asked if the city

 7 may revisit and provide update on prior plans

 8 between the city and PennDOT for additional

 9 signage on Lackawanna Avenue, North Main Avenue

10 and the Expressway to alert tractor-trailer

11 drivers of the railroad bridge, you know, that

12 has the height restrictions.

13 He noted the recent increase in

14 bridge accidents, the tractor-trailers being

15 rerouted into the narrow streets in Tripp Park

16 neighborhood because the GPS is sending them to

17 Keyser that way. And like I stated last week,

18 I think the biggest problem -- and I know

19 there's signage.

20 And, you know, I know if the drivers

21 miss the signage, they're being cited. And

22 that's great. But I think -- I think there's

23 repeat offenders or companies that are

24 repeating this because they're the same

25 deliveries that are going to these different
 1 47

 1 places.

 2 So that is an issue that I think

 3 should be addressed seeing, you know, how many

 4 of these companies are repeat offenders with

 5 this and how come they're not helping us out.

 6 But I also believe when you approach

 7 on out of town go up to Lackawanna Avenue that

 8 like I said last week, the signage, it's almost

 9 too late when you see the signage. I believe

10 it should be -- it should be positioned sooner

11 because once they get to the top of Lackawanna

12 and they're in the right lane, they have to go

13 right.

14 And then they go, oh, my God, or

15 they're alerted somehow. They try to go up

16 through the side -- through the streets and try

17 to find Keyser because that's where this GPS --

18 but you can't get to Keyser from there, you

19 know, or maybe the sign should alert them

20 somehow.

21 Okay, you want to get to Keyser.

22 You got to turn left at the top of Lackawanna.

23 These drivers could be all over the country.

24 They don't know, you know, their way around

25 like we do. So I think that still needs to be
 1 48

 1 looked at.

 2 And I know, you know, we did involve

 3 PennDOT. But obviously, what's been done

 4 already isn't work. So if it's not working, we

 5 have to fix it. So the response I got was the

 6 City Engineer will review. So let's see what

 7 happened with --

 8 MR. KING: Mr. McAndrew, maybe --

 9 you know how some of these newer stop signs,

10 they have those flashing lights? Maybe we

11 could get some kind of truck warning signs that

12 have those flashing lights.

13 MR. MCANDREW: Something, yeah.

14 MR. KING: Just tell them ahead,

15 like, you're right. Once they get up the top

16 of West Lackawanna --

17 MR. MCANDREW: It's too late.

18 MR. KING: Take a right. If they're

19 going to Keyser if they didn't go left, there

20 is no way to get there.

21 MR. MCANDREW: No. GPS will send

22 them. That's what I'm hearing. So, like I

23 said, you know, obviously what's working --

24 what's in place isn't working. So we need to

25 fix it.
 1 49

 1 MR. KING: I'm even thinking on the

 2 bridge for even ones that are maybe coming up

 3 Main Avenue, like, just above the bridge or at

 4 least the ones that are coming that direction.

 5 MR. MCANDREW: There is signage.

 6 But obviously it's not working. So I don't

 7 know what the answer is, but we need to find

 8 one.

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: -- an overhead bar

10 so if they hit the bar then they know they're

11 going to hit the bridge.

12 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I -- you know

13 what, like I said, whatever we're doing isn't

14 working. So let's own up to it and fix it.

15 All right. So then last week I'm trying to

16 refine my inquiry or my request.

17 And I'm thrilled that Mr. King

18 reported out that the mayor is in a

19 collaborative effort with some organizations to

20 raise money for food insecurity. That's great.

21 But my request was to please list local food

22 pantries, organizations, that could help the

23 people that can't donate.

24 All right. They're the ones in the

25 most need. And that was my question last week.
 1 50

 1 So let's refine it again because, like I said,

 2 what I got was just a www.pa211.org and it's --

 3 it's just a link that's pretty vague. It's not

 4 a great resource because it lists organizations

 5 that are in Bethlehem, Allentown, Lancaster.

 6 So what I want is just a simple

 7 list, maybe like the list Dr. Rothchild

 8 mentioned. I know there's one out there. I

 9 saw it on Facebook a week ago. But I can't

10 remember where I saw it and I tried to look for

11 it.

12 But the list needs to be local

13 specific so the residents that can't donate,

14 obviously -- and I'm thrilled that, you know,

15 our community will step up and donate. I know

16 that's going to happen. But the people that

17 can't donate it are the most affected, need a

18 resource.

19 I just think a simple list where

20 they are able to view it and get to these

21 places that are working diligently and

22 collecting food and donations that can assist

23 them. All right. And that is all I have.

24 Thank you.

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