17 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

18 3-A. CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED MAY

19 26, 2026 FROM ST. CATS AND DOGS OF NAY AUG ZOO.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Are there

21 any comments on Third Order items? If not,

22 received and filed.

23 Are there any council members that

24 have announcements tonight?

25 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I would
 4

 1 just like to wish all of our graduates for the

 2 Scranton School District from West and Scranton

 3 High School, congratulations on graduating.

 4 And good luck with your future endeavors.

 5 As a school director, it was one of

 6 my favorite things to do was to attend these

 7 graduations. So I hope they all have a great,

 8 fun night and a safe night and congratulations,

 9 and good luck in your future.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other

11 announcements?

12 MR. FLYNN: Yes, I have a few. So

13 the Plot Neighborhood Association will be

14 hosting an ice cream social fundraiser on June

15 14th at the Post Events and Ice Cream, 12 p.m.

16 till 8 p.m.

17 There will be basket raffles, family

18 fun, face painting, balloon artists, live

19 music. Ten percent of all ice cream sales will

20 benefit the Plot Neighborhood Association. I

21 received this from DPW that the City of

22 Scranton, the Department of Public Works will

23 be closed in observance of Juneteenth on June

24 19th. And recycling will be one day behind

25 just for Friday. So that's -- that's what I
 5

 1 have. Thank you.

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 3 I have an announcement. And it is that the

 4 Underground Miners Group is going to be

 5 presenting a vintage mine lamp demonstration at

 6 the Brooks Mine. And that's going to be this

 7 Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. There's no

 8 admission fee, but donations are appreciated.

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

10 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker

12 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz.

13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

14 Scranton. Item 5-H, adding the

15 responsibilities of the ARPA Project Manager to

16 existing staff. I found this a little

17 surprising.

18 My first question is, who was the

19 ARPA Project Manager that resigned on May 20?

20 MR. SCHUSTER: There was actually

21 two managers that have since resigned as

22 those --

23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Both?

24 MR. SCHUSTER: I believe it's -- I

25 believe it is two. And those positions would
 6

 1 be ending with the ARPA funds. I was just told

 2 that they took new positions.

 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, so according

 4 to the backup, their duties will be delegated

 5 to four other staff members, GIS, assistant

 6 city planner, special assistant right to know

 7 officer, and the engineering project officer.

 8 But I'm basically curious because I

 9 didn't -- other than a reference to 1.2 million

10 dollars for support staff under the

11 administrative category, it doesn't really

12 spell out the significant cost savings that

13 this legislation claims will happen.

14 I mean, I thought ARPA would die a

15 decent death on December 31st of this year. So

16 do we need project managers after the end of

17 this year? How much money are these four

18 staffers going to make in addition to their --

19 their base salary?

20 Basically, I would like you to show

21 me the numbers, how this all works out. I

22 suspect that we're talking about ARPA funds.

23 So it's not coming out of the general budget.

24 But I'd like to see how this is all going to

25 terminate once ARPA ends at the end of the year
 7

 1 or do we require the staffers in 2027 and

 2 beyond?

 3 I'm not quite sure. It doesn't go

 4 into that kind of detail. And the other item

 5 of legislation, 5-F, this is the request for a

 6 grant for $100,000 for the city's Emergency

 7 Operations and Training Center, which seems to

 8 be a very good idea.

 9 But I have two basic questions.

10 What in the world are we doing with the

11 Serrenti Center? Originally when that project

12 began, it was to be an emergency operation

13 center, a training facility, a storage

14 facility.

15 So now we're working with the CTC on

16 another building, I would imagine. I'm not

17 quite sure, you know, $100,000 to support

18 construction. And then in the backup it talks

19 about how we will be supporting other

20 municipalities within the county in terms of

21 emergency operations and training.

22 And I'm wondering, do we get any

23 kind of revenue from that support or do those

24 municipalities simply pay us back by services

25 in kind? In other words, if we need their
 8

 1 support, they also support us. But there's

 2 this trailer that will support the entire

 3 county.

 4 I would also like to see the numbers

 5 on this legislation how this all works out.

 6 And again, what is the status of the Serrenti

 7 Center and how does it fit into this

 8 legislation? So if you would address that in

 9 Fifth Order. Thank you.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

11 And, Frank, can we send those questions over?

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I made note of

13 them. I will.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

15 Some of the financial questions in regard to

16 the ARPA positions, I do have on the question

17 when we -- when we get there. Our next speaker

18 is Mike Mancini.

19 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council

20 President Schuster. Good evening, Council, and

21 the good people of Scranton. Tonight, through

22 my eyes, memories in Scranton. I'm the oldest

23 of three boys raised by a single mother. We

24 moved to Scranton in October of 1975.

25 One of my first and most fond
 9

 1 memories with Scranton was July 4th, 1976.

 2 Gene Peters was Mayor. That evening we enjoyed

 3 our first time sharing fireworks with many

 4 other families at Nay Aug Park.

 5 The pools -- they were always full

 6 of kids, families, and fun. The bumper cars

 7 and roller coaster were always a thrill. To a

 8 young self, the zoo was amazing. I recall the

 9 first time I was introduced to the West

10 Scranton Boys Club. I was six.

11 My neighbor who brought me as a

12 guest was eight. He showed me around. The

13 first floor had two game rooms, a TV room and a

14 woodwork shop. My friend brought me upstairs

15 to the second floor.

16 And for the first time, I witnessed

17 West Side Tough. I was in the gym for less

18 than a minute while older kids were playing

19 dodgeball. I saw one kid take a ball to the

20 head. He got right back up. He told the other

21 kid that he got lucky, looked like two Irish

22 lads.

23 Tough was just the beginning. The

24 wrestling room had mats on everything except

25 the ceiling. You know, the saying don't try
 10

 1 this at home, we did it in that room. My mom

 2 had three active boys at a young age, Sloan

 3 baseball, Pack 50 at St. Ann's, West Side Jets,

 4 church at St. Ann's where I became an altar boy

 5 and Holy Cross.

 6 She was also a member of the PTA,

 7 never forgot the all-night skates at Skateaway,

 8 blisters on the bottom of both of my feet. She

 9 worked two jobs but always found the time in a

10 way. My mom made me strong and caring. But

11 other fathers helped to mold me.

12 I understood at a young age the

13 importance of being grateful and the need to

14 give back. I coached basketball, baseball, and

15 football over the years. My mom was amazing.

16 But she was also -- there was also people

17 around me that created lasting memories.

18 Scranton is like no other because of

19 its core, goodness within its borders. My

20 heart will always be full. This is home. Some

21 things remain the same, but most have changed

22 as we age. Those who truly care try to make

23 our city a better and safer place.

24 Scranton has daily and future

25 challenges. The Mayor, Business Administrator,
 11

 1 and the city lame duck Council member cannot

 2 share forever Scranton memories growing up.

 3 There was nothing like it, not refundable

 4 because it could never be traded.

 5 Some current challenges facing our

 6 good people include homeless population, which

 7 include women, children, and veterans, failing

 8 infrastructure, coddling the utilities while

 9 providing excuses and politics in the police

10 department.

11 They disbanded the drug task force

12 when we needed it the most. Twelve-year-old

13 Mike Mancini could remember sitting alone

14 looking at the stars on St. Ann's Monastery

15 grounds wondering what kind of father I would

16 be.

17 I'll always be proud to say that I'm

18 a father to a United States Marine. Like

19 myself, Christian was raised to look for the

20 good in people. He will always be forever 26

21 and a day. He took what he believed to be a

22 real pill while in real need. He was laid to

23 rest six years ago yesterday.

24 I am forever lost without him. What

25 type of father would I be if I chose to do
 12

 1 nothing in a city where hit and runs are

 2 investigated more so than the opioid-related

 3 deaths. Things need to change. Council or

 4 Mayor, whichever comes first, the line is

 5 behind me and the good people of Scranton

 6 because Mancini won't miss. Good evening,

 7 Council, and to our beautiful city.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Lenny

 9 Srebro is next.

10 MR. SREBRO: Lenny Srebro, Keyser

11 Valley. Before I get started, what is the

12 rules for parking? Do you have to pay after --

13 I understand they were bouncing it around 5:00

14 you don't have to pay. Then it went to six or

15 5:30. Can you tell me what the right one is?

16 MR. SCHUSTER: At this point, it's

17 until 7 p.m.

18 MR. SREBRO: Seven, okay. All

19 right. I brought my notes. But I'm gonna wing

20 it tonight. I have good news. You know, you

21 got the pod moved. That's credit where credit

22 is needed, you know. It might not seem like a

23 lot to other people, but me and the wife

24 sitting on the deck, you know, having some

25 dinner and whatever and looking straight at
 13

 1 that pod right in front of us for a year and a

 2 half, just, you know, we put up with it, we put

 3 up with it, we talked to the owners, you know,

 4 and nothing ever got done.

 5 But thank you, really. I mean it.

 6 I know -- everybody who was involved in getting

 7 it moved, thanks. What I -- what I found out

 8 with this pod thing, you know, I'm sure you

 9 remember I've been here fighting about the

10 flood problem in my neighborhood.

11 What I found out coming to Council,

12 you know, when you put a question to you guys,

13 you know, you can't just fix it immediately.

14 So the person taking up that problem needs to

15 do their research too, you know, not just

16 leaving it up to you guys to waive your magic

17 wand and fix everything, you know?

18 It really helps, like, what I had to

19 do to research it. Now, last year they did

20 improve the flood protection in my neighborhood

21 there. They did a lot of work during the

22 summer and into the fall. And it certainly

23 looks like it's really going to be all right,

24 you know.

25 But we haven't had a really bad
 14

 1 storm since they finished the project. But

 2 they put in new pipes going to the pump house,

 3 new culverts, you know, and it just looks like

 4 they did a good job. So we'll see, you know,

 5 not hoping for another flood, but, you know,

 6 when something comes sooner or later, we'll

 7 see.

 8 But that's credit that needs credit

 9 due to, you know, thanks for helping with the

10 flood protection. That's all I got. Thanks.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And, Mr.

12 Srebro, good news. Last week in Seventh Order

13 we passed another Keyser Valley contract for

14 stormwater, which I believe is more towards

15 your area --

16 MR. SREBRO: Okay.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: -- in Keyser Valley.

18 So that was passed in Seventh Order last week.

19 MR. SREBRO: Wonderful. Thanks

20 again.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next

22 speaker is Les Spindler.

23 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

24 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and

25 homeowner. I think everybody remembers Norma
 15

 1 Jeffries. She used to come here all the time.

 2 About two weeks ago, she messaged me on

 3 Facebook. She watches our meetings on her

 4 phone or whatever, I don't know. And she heard

 5 me talk about Bob Bolus that he suffered a

 6 stroke.

 7 So she was wondering how he was

 8 doing. So I hope you're watching tonight,

 9 Norma. I have news. He -- his speech was

10 affected. But he's not too bad. And he's

11 even driving even though I'm told he's not

12 supposed to. But that's Bob, but he's doing

13 okay, I guess, for -- he's like 82, 83 years

14 old.

15 And I hear he might be here soon.

16 So that's the update on him. The one way on

17 Euclid Avenue, I came here last week and asked

18 for more signs. Last weekend I'm going up, and

19 I just look off to the left. There's one of

20 those big things that they put signs on.

21 And I see there's a sign that says

22 "This road is permanently a one way, not your

23 way." It was printed on a piece of cardboard.

24 I can't make this stuff up. Unbelievable. I

25 hope -- I hope it didn't break PennDOT's
 16

 1 budget, cardboard. Unbelievable.

 2 Yesterday I went by and it was an

 3 improvement. Somebody sprayed an orange border

 4 around the sign, make it more noticeable. I

 5 guess it was the great engineers that told the

 6 Mayor it was a good idea to make that one way,

 7 putting up a cardboard sign. Unbelievable.

 8 You can't make this stuff up.

 9 Pave cuts again, I'm going to say it

10 till it's fixed, Clearview Avenue -- Clearview

11 Street and Main Avenue. I go by there almost

12 every day. You have to slow down almost like

13 five miles an hour or you're get bounced all

14 over the place.

15 Again, our pave cut inspectors are

16 not doing their job. And even on the 100 block

17 of South Main, which I brought up a lot of

18 times, that's still not right. Green Ridge

19 Street Bridge, another one of my pet peeves. I

20 go by there almost every day again.

21 To me, it looks like it's almost

22 ready to open up -- the whole -- the bridge is

23 open. The whole bridge isn't open yet. Last

24 week they had a big piece of heavy equipment

25 digging up the Family Dollar parking lot.
 17

 1 Nothing done on the bridge.

 2 It's -- it's unbelievable how

 3 they're dragging their feet. And I had to stop

 4 at Family Dollar today on Green Ridge Street.

 5 And I asked them about that. They said, we're

 6 told it might not be done till November. I

 7 said, what? I said, it could have been done by

 8 now if they weren't dragging their feet.

 9 And they're losing a lot of

10 business. The manager told me they're losing

11 business. I asked months ago. You should get

12 PennDOT in here and ask them why this thing

13 isn't done already. Like I said, I'm not an

14 engineer, but just to look at it, like, the

15 bridge is open because they move cones from

16 side to side.

17 So every lane has been open at one

18 time or another. But yesterday and today they

19 had a big piece of machinery hanging over the

20 side with guys under the bridge. What are they

21 doing under the bridge? Wasn't it done right

22 that they're fixing something or whatever?

23 Today they were putting up, like,

24 traffic light poles and walk -- don't walk

25 signs. All this stuff could have been done
 18

 1 after the bridge is open. If this is dragged

 2 out till November, there's something wrong.

 3 There's no way it should take to November to

 4 open that bridge up fully.

 5 ATVs again, I brought it up last

 6 week How Shamokin confiscates all their --

 7 They have so many that they don't know what to

 8 do. We have a lot more resources in our city

 9 than a little town like Shamokin does. Why

10 can't we stop these ATVs? They're constantly

11 going by my house.

12 They go over Rebecca, up Dorothy

13 Street, back to the tracks at the end of

14 Dorothy Street, doing wheelies up and down near

15 my house. Something's got to be done. I mean,

16 it's so dangerous. Like I said, if Shamokin

17 can do it, why can't we do it?

18 The next thing, why is the kratom

19 legislation still in Eighth Order? You people

20 say you don't want it to drag out. It's

21 dragged out already. What's the holdup? You

22 can answer when I walk away. My time is up.

23 Thank you.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is

25 Ron Ellman.
 19

 1 MR. ELLMAN: Yeah, Council --

 2 Council, let's see. Well, I know the past five

 3 years I've attended at least 100 Councils and

 4 not once have I seen my beloved Mayor attend

 5 one, a Council meeting.

 6 I don't know if it's ever occurred

 7 to anybody, but we people that come to these

 8 council meetings in the five minutes or so, a

 9 lot of us have contributed more to each meeting

10 than this Mayor has since she entered office.

11 And now it seems like every turn you -- every

12 street you go down, there's some kind of

13 project on it.

14 It seems like she assumes filling

15 1,000 potholes with cold patch will overshadow

16 five years of neglect and mismanagement that

17 caused all these potholes and street repairs in

18 front of Grippo's shop, I think that's

19 Clearview Street.

20 There is a monstrous place that's

21 been there for, I think, this whole week. You

22 know where I mean? There's just no reason for

23 something like that to be on such a busy

24 street. Of course, this is crooked Scranton.

25 I guess the money's needed downtown for tax
 20

 1 cheats and all their tax exempt bars and

 2 restaurants and rentals.

 3 And I had to see the Memorial Day

 4 picture of Welby. This man was elected to

 5 represent the people, and it seems like he

 6 wanted to represent some anti-American bleeding

 7 heart leftist organizations that completely

 8 anti-ICE, anti -- just anti everything good.

 9 And just instead of law and order

10 and what's good and just, he's -- he's just

11 overshadowed his position with offering

12 protection and sanctuary with these people to

13 this Biden's army of criminal illegals.

14 And in last Thursday's paper was a

15 real good article by Brother Bill and others

16 about the data centers. They must be stopped.

17 And anyone that read this article can see

18 there's a dire future with these data centers.

19 I don't know why they don't go to

20 Mexico or Honduras or someplace where there's

21 jungles and water. They -- they are negative

22 from beginning to end. And if -- I think it

23 was Friday's paper, I noticed 30 lockers at

24 auction -- the storage lockers.

25 Now why -- why 30 -- how did 30
 21

 1 people that had to suddenly put their

 2 possessions away like that lose them? It just

 3 doesn't make sense what happened. It couldn't

 4 be foreclosures or something. It's very

 5 heartbreaking to me.

 6 And one other thing before I shut up

 7 and sit down, I can't -- it must have been six,

 8 eight years ago I stood right here and said you

 9 can get free gun locks. There's no reason why

10 some city code at least couldn't require free

11 gun locks on guns.

12 They -- if just one instance could

13 have been averted by it. But I'm pro gun, you

14 know, I'm not anti-gun. My son had one of

15 those machine guns we used to shoot. I think

16 it was like 60 cents a shell. And in seconds

17 it'd be gone.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you, Mr.

19 Ellman.

20 MR. ELLMAN: But I wish you'd

21 consider some kind of city code to require gun

22 locks on -- and have some enforcement. Thank

23 you.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would

25 anyone else like to address council?
 22

 1 MS. KOLOSKI: Doris Koloski,

 2 Scranton resident. First of all, I'd like to

 3 say how many people have walked up to me in

 4 grocery stores and at the park and agreed with

 5 what I said about why -- that Sam should have

 6 been put on that board at the park, just food

 7 for thought.

 8 I want to tell you that Jeep is

 9 still there -- the one that you guys were --

10 that called upon. But it's still there on

11 Mulberry Street with the orange tag on it.

12 Okay, I want people to know that we

13 have Human Relations Commission in the City of

14 Scranton that people if they feel that they've

15 been discriminated against in any kind of

16 housing for any reason, race, gender, they can

17 file a complaint.

18 They go to the

19 Scrantonpennsylvania.gov. You would click on

20 your government, pick boards and commissions

21 and authorities, click commissions, scroll down

22 and click on Human Relation Commission, click

23 on Human Relation complaint form and the

24 authorization form or by personally visiting

25 the Law Department at the City Hall if you
 23

 1 don't have any access to a computer or you're

 2 technology challenged.

22 I would like to know if you received

23 any kind of answer on 421 Colfax. I have heard

24 the Mayor's office had a meeting, but I didn't

25 hear anything about it.
 24

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: The only thing

 2 official that we got back was the blight

 3 remediation team has been informed.

 4 MS. KOLOSKI: Okay. And somebody

 5 did say something about DPW was going to clean

 6 it up, but so far they haven't. Nobody cut the

 7 grass or anything so far. And thank you for

 8 your time.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone

10 else like to address Council?

11 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council,

12 Tom Coyne, Minooka. Last week Dr. Rothchild

13 said she provided as much detail as she could

14 on the Homeless Task Force.

15 The information she referred to was

16 for two years of meetings. She only dealt with

17 one code blue issue that was in winter. And

18 they coordinated in getting the Code Blue

19 Shelter up and running late.

20 She also mentioned that she would be

21 happy to have another Council member on the

22 task force, but followed up with I don't know,

23 and you would have to get the Mayor's blessing.

24 So was a spot approved or was it a spur of the

25 moment suggestion adding someone without the
 25

 1 authority to make a spot that just sounded good

 2 on a whim.

 3 As Dr. Rothchild mentioned, it has

 4 been said prior the Mayor runs the Homeless

 5 Task Force. As such, it was stated the

 6 decision on running the shelter came out of

 7 those meetings. Is this then not the Mayor

 8 participating in a decision-making meeting?

 9 And if so, why is it not open to the

10 public or at least have minutes available?

11 Jumping to another comment from Council, is

12 this group is specifically getting HUD funding,

13 getting donations from organizations and

14 individuals who may have a direct ethical

15 conflict.

16 And the city itself is supplementing

17 it using the city's HUD funding. So if this is

18 a decision-making body, it was funded by

19 taxpayer dollars run by the Mayor and has

20 secret decision-making meetings, how do you not

21 disclose organizations and individual

22 donations?

23 How do you validate the concept of a

24 secret nonpublic group, taxpayer funded, and

25 from those directly benefiting with no
 26

 1 disclosures of public funds to be a

 2 decision-making task force that bars the public

 3 from the very group the public is paying for.

 4 Dr. Rothchild is a member and could

 5 have taken notes to present each meeting over

 6 the past two years but never has. More

 7 important, if the Mayor is running this, why

 8 are we not getting answers from her?

 9 Moving on to 3100 Cedar Avenue, we

10 have a suggestion from the Planning Commission

11 that Council can reject and change. I would

12 ask that they do. Why was the entrance and

13 exits put on Cedar Avenue?

14 The alleyway could have been used

15 and expanded as it's a dead end one block, has

16 no traffic and has no cars parking on it. I

17 understand it's late for this, but the city who

18 fixates on a single off-street parking spot, I

19 do not see why this was not addressed as a best

20 solution.

21 We have Cedar Avenue and Crane

22 Street, both exiting to a major road, Davis

23 Street and Birney Avenue. And one on Cedar

24 Avenue we need immediate one-way resolution.

25 On Crane, the issue is situational based and
 27

 1 does not require a change, same road, same

 2 traffic, same exits to a major road, but one

 3 has to change now, and one because it's

 4 conditional -- and they both are, has no need

 5 for a change.

 6 The 3100 block is set to go one way.

 7 But that wasn't the primary suggestion. Number

 8 one on the report was to eliminate parking on

 9 the east side as it also clears line of sight

10 from the entrance and exit of the lots, leaving

11 two way traffic.

12 In quote, the need is due to heavy

13 use during parish events is conditional and a

14 few hours a week. On Crane Street, the same as

15 Cedar Avenue it reviews and says because the

16 issue is only during masses and other church

17 events and situational -- for specific times

18 and events leaving it as it -- as it is --

19 would be likely the best alternative and

20 revisit it after construction is complete.

21 Two streets, both major highway-born

22 impacts at a limited time for masses are

23 evaluated 100 percent opposite in this report.

24 Add to that the one way does not clear the

25 driveway side parking on the 3100 block of
 28

 1 Cedar Avenue, which goes directly against the

 2 sight distance requirements.

 3 I would ask Council and its

 4 authority amend the Commission's decision and

 5 change the requirement to suggestion one as

 6 provided leaving it two ways and eliminating

 7 the parking on the east side, expand the travel

 8 lanes and the sight distances as is reasonable

 9 by the study.

10 I defer to Mr. Schuster's judgment

11 on West Mountain water issues because he knows

12 the neighborhood well. I know this

13 neighborhood as I was born and lived in it well

14 over 40 years. My view was not a few days

15 snapshot, but one of 40 years in all weather

16 situations.

17 It's my neighborhood. And I know

18 the neighborhood. And I'm less prone to push

19 more cars into a zone with kids in the area for

20 a 12-unit apartment building. That is not

21 being a good neighbor. Thank you.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would

23 anyone else like to address Council?

24 MR. LITTLE: Good evening, Council,

25 Rik Little. Everything's really getting crazy
 29

 1 on the local level, on the world level. These

 2 newspaper things I'm handing out is from last

 3 Saturday's paper.

 4 There's all these articles about the

 5 data centers. And this -- this is one of the

 6 things that's really global coming out. And I

 7 don't know. What I'd like to say -- keep my

 8 thoughts together here. Anyway, there's --

 9 there's a hearing. There's a hearing this

10 Thursday at 10 o'clock in courtroom number

11 three before Judge Moyle because these people

12 that put in the data centers, you don't know

13 who they are.

14 They got good lawyers. And they'll

15 just keep going and going and going. And it's

16 as I said before, it scares me about the people

17 that are fixing all the streets around

18 Scranton, Kriger. I wonder about that. And I

19 wonder about the Mayor going for higher office.

20 And it's all important and I

21 would -- what has to happen to save Scranton

22 and save the state is people come together,

23 people come together, and people show up. And

24 the one place people never show up, they just

25 sit -- sit back and wait is the courts.
 30

 1 And I've done a lot of court

 2 watching over the last 25 years. And it was

 3 really hard to start in Lackawanna County. I

 4 did it in family court for 15 years in

 5 Brooklyn. But, you know, on a technicality,

 6 you know, you don't have standing. You didn't

 7 file the papers right. Oh, it was a typo.

 8 Resubmit it, and it keeps going on and on.

 9 And I don't even -- if anybody can

10 tell me if a pro se litigant has ever won in

11 the Court of Common Pleas, please tell me

12 because the people on the government level here

13 are using these same court tactics like -- like

14 code enforcement.

15 I asked, you know, what inspections

16 have you done at Scranton Housing Authority.

17 And I get the answer, well, you have to -- you

18 can file a right to know. I know I can file a

19 right to know. But that's what everybody does

20 in this city.

21 It's like you have to file. You

22 have to go to this. We got 500 people in

23 the -- in all the 501C3's, you know, looking

24 for housing, looking for this and that.

25 But the data centers are crucial.
 31

 1 Pennsylvania has the highest electric bills

 2 around. And there's water problems too. And

 3 there's noise problems. And this article, you

 4 know, it talks about some lawyer for Scranton

 5 Materials is arguing against the citizen, you

 6 know, oh, she lives in Ransom Township, you

 7 know, so she doesn't have standing.

 8 These data centers will affect the

 9 area 100 miles away from everywhere right on

10 the border, Archibald. And if you -- you know,

11 Lockheed owns a lot. These things have been

12 planned for years and years. And I'd like to

13 talk about the governor, you know, all the

14 stuff you read in the paper about people coming

15 out and saying, you know, I'm against it, you

16 know.

17 It's like the candy -- and the

18 voting. I mean, look at California -- no, look

19 at Pottsville. They found 100 -- close to

20 100,000 votes in a storage locker of a main guy

21 of Governor Shapiro. You never hear anything

22 about this. The elections are gone. The

23 mail-in is a problem.

24 I hope people will take the time to

25 go Thursday, 6/11, 226 go to the Court of
 32

 1 Common Pleas and watch the court. I think the

 2 court needs watching. I think people have to

 3 stand up on every level, local, county, state,

 4 federal. Thank you.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would

 6 anyone else like to address Council?

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

 8 MOTIONS.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew, do

10 you have any motions or comments tonight?

11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a

12 few. First, some requests from residents, 123

13 Spring Street. I guess -- I spoke with the

14 resident there. I guess their sidewalks were

15 ripped up years ago when the -- after the

16 utility companies did some work there.

17 They were never replaced. So can we

18 take a look at that and see if they should have

19 been replaced? Also, it's a busy street. If

20 there's signage we can put for, like, children

21 at play or anything like that.

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

23 it.

24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Second request

25 from the resident is the alley by Martin Place.
 33

 1 During the week, I guess, a truck parks and

 2 blocks part of the alley. So can we maybe have

 3 somebody take a drive over there, see if that's

 4 the case, and also if there's maybe, like, a no

 5 parking sign that can go there?

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll give that to

 7 SPD.

 8 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. Recently

 9 myself and Councilman Mark McAndrew met with

10 the city regarding the ambulance service. You

11 know, there has been a study that was done.

12 But they don't really right now have any path

13 forward. There's no plans, which is, you know,

14 not the not the best news to hear after you

15 spend a lot of money on a plan.

16 So I've been asking -- I asked

17 multiple questions. Should we look -- look for

18 something in the meantime? What's -- what's

19 the long-term plan? What is, you know, what

20 are some things we can do in the, you know, in

21 the meantime to make sure we have the best

22 service and protection for our -- for our

23 neighbors and our residents?

24 And there's really no -- there was

25 no answer. So I think they did ask what
 34

 1 Council's appetite was. And I'll never speak

 2 for anybody but myself. And my -- my

 3 suggestion is let's just do something better,

 4 you know, let's actually come up with a plan

 5 and be involved in the discussions, but haven't

 6 heard anything since.

 7 So I think it's time that we take it

 8 upon ourselves to kind of look at some avenues,

 9 and see what we can do to make sure we have the

10 best services for our residents. So I know PA

11 Ambulance is pretty much the main and the only

12 game in town right now.

13 I know they have been here

14 previously in front of other Councils. And

15 there were discussions in the past from

16 Councilman King and other Council members to

17 hear them out and maybe make some decisions and

18 maybe see if there's something we can do

19 together even temporarily.

20 So, Frank, would you be able to

21 contact them to see if they would be able to

22 come into a caucus again because we do have two

23 new Council members, myself and Councilman

24 Flynn? We haven't, you know, met with them,

25 you know, in a caucus. So can we see if they
 35

 1 maybe, in the next week or two, could come in?

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yeah, I have their

 3 contact information. I'll reach out in the

 4 morning.

 5 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. And

 6 please alert the city -- the administration,

 7 let them know that we're doing this because

 8 they don't -- it's only fair because we did

 9 have discussions with them but -- so make sure

10 they're aware that we are going down this path

11 to have them into caucus in case they have any

12 questions that they want to ask too.

13 I know there's -- they have all

14 these questions and concerns, but they won't

15 put it in writing. So let's see what they say.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll let them know.

17 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. Next,

18 there is a new position at Nay Aug for Nay Aug

19 Parks and Rec's manager. Looking at the job

20 descriptions, it seems some of it conflicts

21 with what the SMRA Board does. I used to be on

22 the SMRA Board, so I know the ins and outs of

23 that pretty well.

24 So -- and I understand that there's

25 interviews that just started. Now my
 36

 1 understanding is there's already an individual

 2 who's been told that they're going to get the

 3 job. I hope that's not the case. I hope we're

 4 going through the process the correct way.

 5 But before we even finish this

 6 process and hire somebody, I think there needs

 7 to be more discussion based on the role of this

 8 and if it's even needed. You know, it's going

 9 to be managing two park -- from my

10 understanding, it's going to be park workers

11 they'll be managing and then during the season,

12 the lifeguards.

13 So is this position just going to be

14 seasonal when there's lifeguards? Because

15 there's no way we need one person just to

16 manage two people. It's been working for the

17 last 30 years, 20 years. I don't know why all

18 of a sudden we need to make some changes and,

19 you know, spend more money on a position that I

20 do not think is needed.

21 That 50-some -- I think it's 50-some

22 thousand dollars can go to a lot of other

23 things. But my main concern is it's taking

24 away the responsibilities for the -- what the

25 SMRA Board actually does. So we have an
 37

 1 authority -- it's actually an authority.

 2 So we have an authority there to

 3 manage Nay Aug Park. So I think there is some

 4 maybe a back and forth between the part -- the

 5 board and the city. And I think we need to

 6 figure out the best path forward. And I don't

 7 think this position is it.

 8 I think the Board does a great job.

 9 If you take a ride up to Nay Aug and between

10 the Board and the volunteers, it's a beautiful

11 place. I don't know why we would need somebody

12 to oversee it. It's already being done very,

13 very well.

14 So, Frank, if you can ask the city

15 administration if they can sit down with myself

16 and we can reach out to maybe the President or

17 Vice President of the SMRA Board to see if we

18 can have a discussion to see who's responsible

19 for what and what the path is going forward to

20 make sure we're doing this right.

21 And again, I don't think we need

22 this position. So before we hire anything,

23 let's make sure we iron this all out because in

24 the response we got regarding just scheduling

25 the pickleball league, which I'm not against
 38

 1 the league. I think there should be a league

 2 up there. I think that's great.

 3 But my understanding talking to the

 4 Board members that there's -- the city did that

 5 without them knowing, which is their job to do

 6 to schedule the events up there. There -- it

 7 isn't all -- it's also a for-profit business,

 8 which is not paying a fee at all. And it's for

 9 an adult league.

10 And they're taking more courts up

11 than they're supposed to. So, again, I'm for

12 the league. If, you know, there's six courts

13 and they want to use four during that time

14 period, but if you're gonna be making a profit

15 off it and it's an adult league, it should be,

16 you know, there should be a fee or something

17 going back to the -- back to the park just like

18 anybody else would if they rented anything else

19 in the park.

20 So let's see if we could have a

21 sit-down with them before this goes any

22 further. And we could iron some things out,

23 and I could report back to the fellow Council

24 but also to the residents.

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll set that up.
 39

 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Perfect. So

 2 regarding the parks and the cameras, myself,

 3 other Council members definitely want cameras

 4 placed in Pretzel Park like it was promised,

 5 but also all the parks.

 6 So the response we got was SPD has

 7 been working closely with IT to build out the

 8 camera systems for the city parks. Chief

 9 Carroll recognizes that this is not moving as

10 quickly as many would like. But it is

11 important to understand that this is not a

12 standalone project.

13 The park cameras operate within the

14 same network as all the other public safety

15 cameras across the city. Because they coexist

16 in a single system, SPD must constantly

17 evaluate and prioritize procurement,

18 installation, repair, maintenance, and

19 replacement and based on the overall public

20 safety needs.

21 In doing so, SPD must also balance

22 location, timing, budget, staffing, and

23 factors, including weather and completing

24 operational demands. Many of these priorities

25 are determined by the intelligence and
 40

 1 continuous public safety assessments.

 2 Although managing the full public

 3 safety camera system is complex and demanding,

 4 SPD has the expertise, structure, and

 5 commitment necessary to keep the system

 6 reliable and aligned with operation priorities

 7 and the community's expectations.

 8 Pretzel Park has been previously and

 9 continue to be included in the city's work plan

10 as we continue to work through the open

11 requirements -- or open requests across the

12 city. We will communicate the installation

13 date when it is available. So that was a lot.

14 But it's no -- no -- no more answer than we had

15 before.

16 When are these cameras going up? If

17 it's this hard to put up a few cameras in a

18 park, I can only imagine how hard it's going to

19 be to do a whole live crime center next door at

20 Fidelity when -- when the purchase goes through

21 or when the -- when the building is finally

22 available for us to get in.

23 So if they can't handle this, how

24 are they're going to be able to handle that.

25 And if it's going to take this long just for
 41

 1 cameras in the park, I can only imagine how

 2 long that's going to take. So can we please

 3 circle back and say can we please have an

 4 expected date of when these will be installed

 5 in Pretzel Park, but then after that, all the

 6 other parks that don't have them currently. We

 7 need -- we need an answer.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 9 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right.

10 Thank you. And then so regarding the PEL

11 request, PEL was supposed to have a five year

12 forecast for us by -- beginning of June,

13 last -- June 1st on what's the budget going to

14 look like in the next five years, which is a

15 great tool for us in the city to plan our

16 future budgets.

17 The little information I got was

18 that obviously our expenditures or our expenses

19 are outweighing our revenue. So we're going to

20 have to figure out ways to plug those holes.

21 Also, I keep saying this, the LST tax shortfall

22 that we have right now if it's not fixed, will

23 be millions of dollars.

24 So can we please ask them if they

25 have an answer? The city should have checked
 42

 1 on the timeline and got the answer for us

 2 before today, not saying that they're just

 3 going to check. They had these questions for,

 4 you know, a few days. I don't know why they

 5 just didn't call PEL up and ask them the

 6 question.

 7 So can we send the city another

 8 question -- respond back and say, you know,

 9 it's been a week, can we please have -- please

10 have an answer. But also, PEL is not a city

11 employee. I know when we have to request

12 questions from other departments, we have to go

13 through all these hoops and go through Eileen,

14 and we can't ask ourselves, which I disagree

15 with.

16 We all should be working together.

17 But since PEL is a separate entity, can we

18 also -- there's a contact, Frank, I know who

19 goes to the finance meetings. Can you reach

20 out directly to her to see if we can get a

21 timeline?

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

23 McAndrew.

24 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: -- we'll go both

25 avenues and see what -- what answers we get who
 43

 1 gets us -- at least -- least something. And

 2 then finally, regarding the Unsheltered Task

 3 Force, I know we talked about possibly -- I

 4 think I mentioned about seeing if they can come

 5 in for a caucus.

 6 Can we reach out to the task force

 7 to see if they want to send a few

 8 representatives from the task force because I

 9 know there's 50 people. I know we can't have

10 all 50 people here, but maybe like four or five

11 of them if they want to pick a -- pick a few

12 and see if they would come to a caucus and

13 answer our questions and the residents'

14 questions.

15 It's been a topic since I've been on

16 the -- on the -- on Council. We're really not

17 getting many answers. So let's ask them

18 directly.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that.

20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right.

21 That's all I have thanks.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Yeah,

23 when we met back with Matt Domines, I believe

24 probably in March, so it's going over two

25 months ago. They let us know that it'd be four
 44

 1 to six weeks for that PEL -- for the PEL

 2 projection.

 3 So I'm really curious to see what

 4 that states. With Mr. McAndrew's questions,

 5 can we also ask for the full job description

 6 for that Parks Manager for Nay Aug Park?

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 9 Mr. Pat Flynn, do you have any motions or

10 comments?

11 MR. FLYNN: Yes, I do. Thank you.

12 I'll start by some responses that I received. I

13 also had asked the same question about the

14 cameras and the parks. And, you know, that

15 there was a lot in it -- in this response.

16 But my thought on it is, you know, a

17 lot of these operational systems that we've put

18 forward in the city have been to make

19 everything coexist in one single system to make

20 the process moving forward more seamless when

21 we have to add to it, right?

22 So it's happened with Open Gov and

23 all these other things to make it more -- a

24 more seamless one size fits all process. So

25 then when you add more things to it, it makes
 45

 1 it easier in the long run. So I'm not sure why

 2 that is not the case with the cameras that they

 3 coexist in the single system. Why is it -- why

 4 does that not become easier for the police

 5 department when needed to add another one

 6 online to make it that more -- more seamless,

 7 and not -- not more hoops to jump through,

 8 which I feel like is happening, happening here.

 9 So that's just -- that's more

10 thought than anything. And I really hope to

11 see the cameras installed in all the parks very

12 soon. So -- so a few other ones, I had talked

13 last week about the Castle House on Richmond

14 Street and how the front of the house was well

15 maintained, the grass was cut and whatnot.

16 But on the backside it's very

17 intense overgrowth. It looks like a failing

18 and collapsing deck back there. And the

19 administration had said that they had been in

20 touch with the property owner on maintaining

21 that property as they're trying to sell it to

22 someone interested in bringing it back to it --

23 to its glory, really.

24 And so the response I got was code

25 enforcement has been notified. So that's great
 46

 1 on the -- on the overgrowth and all that. But

 2 I also asked for the city engineer to be able

 3 to go out, take a look as they had previously

 4 and that the administration had said last week

 5 the city engineer had been out there to see the

 6 structure of the house itself.

 7 Could we get the city engineer out

 8 there to look at that back deck and see if it's

 9 beyond repair and if so, can be -- can be taken

10 down. But the overgrowth is happening all over

11 the deck as well. I'd really like that to be

12 done sooner rather than later as it's going to

13 continue growing and growing throughout the

14 summer months.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. Flynn.

16 MR. FLYNN: So then on what is now

17 Item 7-B, I had the question on just the

18 wording being, you know, the legislation around

19 the safe -- Safe Streets and Roads For All

20 Grant, and how it says and/or Mulberry Street

21 and/or Moosic Street and what does that mean?

22 What -- what street is that

23 happening for? Does that mean if Mulberry

24 Street gets done with enough money, does it --

25 do they then go to Moosic Street or what --
 47

 1 what's the case there?

 2 And so the response I received was

 3 regarding the Safe Streets and Roads for All

 4 Grant, the scope of the projects will -- the

 5 city will pursue will depend on the amount of

 6 funding awarded.

 7 If the award is large enough, we may

 8 pursue both project areas. So I guess the only

 9 follow-up question I have -- and this is in

10 Seventh Order tonight, but the only follow-up

11 question I have, Mr. Voldenberg, is what is the

12 priority order here?

13 Is it Mulberry Street first and then

14 Moosic Street, which I would assume just based

15 on the way it's written or but what is the

16 priority order of the allocation of the funds

17 for those projects?

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

19 MR. FLYNN: And then last week I

20 reached out through Mr. Voldenberg to the

21 administration about a few do not enter signs

22 that -- at a few intersections throughout the

23 city. And I just want to thank the

24 administration.

25 I reached out on Thursday, and those
 48

 1 signs were put up on Monday morning. So it's

 2 very, very timely, big signs where they were

 3 very much needed. So -- so thank you to the

 4 administration on that timely response and

 5 putting those signs up.

 6 A resident reached out to me last

 7 night -- and something I'd like for us to look

 8 into, I would assume it's the cable companies.

 9 But some of these new lines that they're

10 putting up and they seem to be coming over and

11 falling down towards the street and being

12 looped up in circles and hanging over the side.

13 What is the rationale for that?

14 How, you know, even just the resident told me

15 how one is all the way down on the street and

16 almost goes across the sidewalk. And if --

17 even if it's not, you know, quote/unquote a

18 live wire or dangerous, it's still unnerving

19 for individuals walking down the street.

20 And you see a wire hanging from a

21 utility pole and going across the street. So

22 why is that happening? And then could we --

23 could we find out what we could do to hold

24 the -- these particular, whoever it is, utility

25 companies accountable to make sure that all
 49

 1 those wires that they're putting up on the

 2 utility poles are completely secured and out of

 3 the way of the streets and the traffic below.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

 5 it, sir.

 6 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. The last

 7 thing I have is, so I did receive

 8 correspondence from the director -- OECD

 9 Director today that I was added to the

10 Unsheltered Task Force that I will now be on

11 e-mails, will be attending the meeting. So I

12 will -- I will give updates as the meetings

13 come.

14 But -- but I was -- I was added to

15 it. I'm very grateful for that. I think I

16 could, you know, bring -- bring some other

17 ideas and some of my visions towards -- towards

18 helping these individuals to the task force and

19 also I will try my best to be as thorough as

20 possible on reporting out what these -- what

21 these meetings entail.

22 But I just want to confirm that the

23 administration has added me to the task force.

24 So that's all I have. Thank you.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
 50

 1 In regard to the Castle House, Mr. Flynn put

 2 that in. And the answer that he did receive

 3 back was that code enforcement had been

 4 notified. We do have blight coordinators. And

 5 we have blight workers.

 6 We have -- at this point in time we

 7 have far more blight individuals in the city

 8 that deal with blight than we've ever had. Can

 9 we find out what the process is in regards to

10 those individuals and instances like this that

11 we get where, I mean, it's an obvious issue of

12 blight. Yet code enforcement's dealing with

13 it?

14 Does it go through the blight

15 coordinators? Does it go through these

16 individuals before it gets to code enforcement

17 or what is the process so Council knows how to

18 better address these?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get the

20 process, sir.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

22 Last week we got -- we had an e-mail with --

23 with several questions for 3100 of Cedar that I

24 asked to be sent in in preparation for the

25 hearing today. Did we ever get any answers
 51

 1 back on those questions for 3100 of Cedar?

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: Were they the

 3 questions that were asked and placed in the

 4 final study?

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: They were not. So it

 6 was another e-mail that we got. I thought in

 7 preparation for the hearing today we can get

 8 some of those answers. We never got any of

 9 those back. But we also had a couple that --

10 that came up today in the hearing and as well

11 in Fourth Order.

12 If we could just get those questions

13 over prior to Seventh Order. It is final

14 passage. And if the administration wants that

15 passed, it would be a good idea that they get

16 these questions answered prior to that final

17 vote.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up on

19 them all.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

21 There was a question that mister -- well --

22 let's see, Mr. McAndrew had asked about an

23 update for repairs at the -- and clean out at

24 the Lookout. And the answer that he received

25 back is the city is still in the process of
 52

 1 having a Lookout designated as a historic

 2 landmark.

 3 Statewide LSA grant awards have not

 4 yet been announced. And the city applied for

 5 that funding in October of 2025. The blight

 6 team regularly visits the site and has removed

 7 graffiti. That was the answer on an update on

 8 the Lookout.

 9 Some of the questions I had last

10 week, one was the 421 of Colfax Avenue. I had

11 asked for an update on the blight crew

12 assisting with clearing overgrown grass and

13 brush. And they stated that the blight

14 remediation team has been informed.

15 I had some questions regarding

16 Weston Field about an update on the pool and

17 playground. It seemed like there was some work

18 that was being done over there. I wasn't sure

19 if that was going to interfere with the

20 operation of the pool. I asked if the pool was

21 open and operational and if there were any

22 issues.

23 And the answer that we got back is

24 the pool is operational and will open June 6th

25 and 7th. And then the pool will be open daily
 53

 1 starting the weekend of June 13th. I asked

 2 about an update on the playground. Is that

 3 playground fully funded? Is that -- what's the

 4 timeline on the playground being put in at

 5 Western Field? Does the city have the

 6 playground equipment in possession or are we

 7 waiting on -- awaiting delivery?

 8 And the answer that came back was

 9 the city received an ORLP grant for Weston

10 Field. And we're completing the federal

11 government contracting process. No equipment

12 can be purchased prior to that contracting

13 process.

14 So the update for that playground is

15 they're still working through that contracting

16 process. I asked about complaints that I'm

17 still receiving about the gates at Weston Field

18 not being locked and individuals on the field

19 at all hours of the night.

20 And the answer that we got back are

21 the gates have been locked until this past

22 weekend as equipment is needed to be brought

23 into the mini pitch field.

24 They may be still unlocked from time

25 to time to facilitate more equipment for the
 54

 1 mini field -- the mini pitch project. And once

 2 it is completed, the gates will be locked

 3 again.

 4 I asked what studies were completed

 5 prior to the highway occupancy permit for the

 6 West Scranton Streetscape Project and did the

 7 city take into consideration the trucking

 8 business at the end of Dorothy Street.

 9 And they came back and just said

10 it's been referred to the city engineer. Now,

11 this project goes back quite a long time. It

12 goes back to when Mr. Gaughan was President on

13 Council. When it came before us, it was

14 sidewalks. It was removal of trees, things

15 like that. But that was back in 2023.

16 Originally it passed in 2023. And

17 it was supposed to be completed by 2024. It's

18 now two years later. But in that, we've

19 applied for a highway occupancy permit that

20 changes the street to a one way. And I've

21 asked several times did we apply for it as a

22 one way.

23 And that was a question similar to

24 Cedar Avenue. Did we apply for that permit or

25 did we put in for that traffic study to be a
 55

 1 one way or was it something that PennDOT had

 2 dictated that we must do there? So if we could

 3 just ask that question again, did the city put

 4 in for a highway occupancy permit, stating

 5 initially that it was going to be a one way, or

 6 did PennDOT dictate that that street was going

 7 to be a one way?

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask that

 9 question again, sir.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

11 Regarding 5-E of last week, there was a

12 contracted firm for asset management. I asked

13 well, who was the project -- who was the group

14 that was in charge of that to begin with. It

15 was PFM Asset Managements that performed the

16 activities that started in May of 2023.

17 And they've, I believe, they put an

18 RFP out. And it seems that it's -- it's PFM

19 again just under a different name. I shared a

20 concern about a possible creek obstruction on

21 South Sherman Avenue near South Sherman. And I

22 got back that Chief Judge and the city

23 engineers visited the site on June 2nd.

24 No major -- major issues with the

25 water (inaudible) were discovered after walking
 56

 1 the channel. Chief Judge recommended simple

 2 maintenance including -- including the removal

 3 of two trees upstream from Jackson Street

 4 Bridge.

 5 And that debris upstream of the

 6 bridge and in the downstream covert leading

 7 into the flood control project to be cleared

 8 unrelated to streambed maintenance. So I thank

 9 them for going out for that.

10 Next -- thank you. Let's see. I

11 did send an e-mail over to who I believed was

12 in charge of licensing or leasing of baseball

13 fields. I did have an individual reach out

14 from one of the baseball leagues. They wanted

15 to expand their league.

16 I thought it would be a great idea

17 with youth engagement as the city is trying to

18 get youth engagement up in the city. And it

19 seemed to be a good idea. I did reach out and

20 putting that individual in contact with those

21 individuals in the city, and I did get reminded

22 that I need to go through proper channels in

23 order to get that stuff done.

24 So I did ask Mr. Voldenberg if he

25 could now forward that e-mail and that contact
 57

 1 onto Eileen Cipriani so she could get that to

 2 probably those same proper people in order to

 3 get something facilitated with a new league in

 4 the city.

 5 I have a question about the -- if we

 6 could ask the BA, Miss Cipriani, what is the

 7 status of the contract with Rudolph Clark, LLC,

 8 which they contracted for with the HUP test.

 9 This year we were told by her that it was put

10 on hold. So it appears the contract is out of

11 date. It's expired.

12 They only did minimal work at the

13 time. Can we ask how much money was spent to

14 that firm and how much is left on the contract?

15 Is that contract indeed on hold or is that an

16 expired contract at this point in time? I do

17 know that the school district is looking to

18 pursue nonprofits.

19 And I'd just like to know where we

20 stand with this contract as they move forward,

21 too just to see what -- what options we have on

22 our end.

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

24 questions tomorrow.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.
 58

 1 The ambulance topic has come up several times

 2 in the last few weeks. We've had them in for

 3 caucus in the past. There was an issue that

 4 was identified quite a while back when Council

 5 had Penn Ambulance in for -- in for a caucus.

 6 They answered many questions. They

 7 made me feel better about ambulance service and

 8 coverage that they could provide in the city.

 9 Mr. Sean McAndrew and Mark McAndrew met with, I

10 believe, was it Eileen Cipriani and Chief

11 Judge?

12 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: No, it was

13 Chief Judge and Jessica Eskra.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay.

15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And

16 Attorney Gilbride was there.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. And it

18 seemed like the topic of that conversation was

19 more QRS than ambulance service.

20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: No, it was a

21 little bit of both. They did bring up the QRS.

22 But it definitely was reasons why, you know,

23 the whole history of not having an ambulance

24 service and stuff like that.

25 There -- there is no plan going
 59

 1 forward, right? There's nothing -- I kept

 2 asking for recommendations. But there's

 3 nothing coming from the city that's a clear-cut

 4 recommendation, here's what they want to do

 5 temporarily and also going forward.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. All right.

 7 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: So, Mr.

 8 Gilbride, anything I missed on that, Mr.

 9 Gilbride?

10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: No, that's fine.

11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. So I'd

13 like to request an update on where the city

14 stands with the QRS services that the

15 discussion is currently, how many individuals

16 in the department is this going to take and

17 what's the total estimated cost of that as well

18 as what's the total estimated cost of standing

19 up a city ambulance service as well as a hybrid

20 if that's one of the possibilities or something

21 that's of discussion.

22 And then actually I'd like to make a

23 motion as a formal motion if I could have a

24 second to formally request that the city

25 administration meet with Penn Ambulance,
 60

 1 discuss possible proposals, and then provide

 2 Council with a list of those concerns that they

 3 have.

 4 MR. FLYNN: Second.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr.

 6 Gilbride, when it comes to that, would we take

 7 a roll call on that?

 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: You should have

 9 somebody else make the motion. It should be

10 seconded by an additional Councilman. And then

11 you should roll call.

12 MR. FLYNN: I make the motion.

13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Second.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Now,

15 would you like a roll call? We could do a roll

16 call.

17 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew.

18 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes.

19 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Flynn.

20 MR. FLYNN: Yes.

21 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. Thank you. And

23 that is all I have for this evening.

20 this -- the Environmental Advisory Council,

21 they meet downstairs in the break room; is that

22 correct?

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Is that where they've

25 always met down there? Have they ever met --
 63

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I believe they

 2 have at least recently.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. In speaking

 4 with them last week, it seems like maybe

 5 another room could be provided. So we could --

 6 can we just ask if another meeting room can be

 7 provided in case that committee needs to take

 8 public comment or anything like that?

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: We're involved in

10 the scheduling, so I'll look into it.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

12 you. And if there's not another room, can we

13 offer them Council Chambers for their meetings?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: We can.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

16 very much. Anyone else on the question? All

17 those in favor of introduction signify by

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question? On

 7 the question, the questions that came up or the

 8 concerns that came up in Fourth Order tonight

 9 about the Serrenti Center and how it ties into

10 this, can we make sure that those questions are

11 passed over to the administration?

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I took note of

13 them. I'll follow up.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

15 All those in favor of introduction signify by

21 PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF SCRANTON'S ARPA

22 SPENDING PLAN (RESOLUTION 69 OF 2022).

23 MR. SCHUSTER: At this time, I'll

24 entertain a motion that Item 5-H be introduced

25 into its proper committee.
 67

 1 MR. FLYNN: So moved.

 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Second.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question? So

 4 on the question, there's a -- the backup

 5 documentation is missing the final -- financial

 6 impact section. It states 10 hours or more per

 7 week for each of the -- what I believe was five

 8 positions.

 9 So we could just clarify. I know in

10 Fourth Order tonight it was stated four. But

11 can we clarify whether it's four positions or

12 five positions that are identified with those

13 10 hours?

14 And could we get an estimate of

15 costs for the amount of hours per those five

16 positions or four positions until the end of

17 the deadline of ARPA as well as the deadline

18 for when the ARPA funds are completed?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

20 it.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: And then as a

22 comparable, there were two positions that were

23 hired. And I believe these two individuals

24 resigned. I did go through the budget. I know

25 we -- when it came to looking at the budget
 68

 1 going into that year, positions were added.

 2 But it doesn't -- it doesn't seem that those

 3 positions were in the 2026 budget.

 4 So if there are in the 2026 budget,

 5 could you please clarify where they're at in

 6 that budget? And then if they're not in that

 7 budget, could we have the salaries of those two

 8 positions?

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that

10 information.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And

12 that'll be a good comparable for -- for this.

13 Anyone else on the question? All those in

14 favor of introduction signify by stating aye.

15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Aye.

16 MR. FLYNN: Aye.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. Opposed? The

18 ayes have it and so moved.

24 STREET.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: You've heard reading
 69

 1 by title of Item 6-A. What is your pleasure?

 2 MR. FLYNN: Mr. Chairman, I move

 3 that Item 6-A pass reading by title.

 4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Second.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question?

 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, on the

 7 question, just hearing from some residents, you

 8 know, it's saying that the developers never

 9 came and spoke with them when they had meetings

10 that only Reilly came.

11 Like to me, that's very unneighborly

12 like. And it's disheartening to hear. We

13 always want to welcome new development. But

14 also, you know, we want good neighbors. And if

15 our neighbors in that community have questions,

16 they should be there to answer as well. So

17 disheartening to hear that. So I just wanted

18 to put that on the record.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Anyone else on the

20 question? All those in favor signify by

21 stating aye.

22 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Aye.

23 MR. FLYNN: Aye.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. Opposed? The

25 ayes have it and so moved.
