17 Jeffries sitting back there. Norma, will you

18 come up to the front here? We want to do a --

19 award you a proclamation. Council people, come

20 down. You have to stand by me. I will begin

21 it.

22 WHEREAS, the COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

23 SCRANTON is desirous of honoring NORMA

 3 Jayden; and

 4 WHEREAS, NORMA was born and raised

 5 in Scranton, educated in the Scranton School

 6 District and attended Lackawanna Business

 7 College; and

 8 WHEREAS, NORMA worked at Samter's

 9 and later at Bell Telephone. When she and

10 Charles married, they moved to Philadelphia and

11 New Jersey where Norma continued to work for

12 the phone company and furthered her education

13 at Arcadia University and Drexel University;

14 and

15 WHEREAS, after Charles passed away,

16 NORMA, moved back to Scranton after a 36 year

17 absence; and

18 WHEREAS, NORMA became renowned for

19 her immediate community involvement having

20 chaired food drives, served as the secretary of

21 the Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority,

22 member of the Shade Tree Commission, worked on

23 organizing the Electric City Flower Show;

24 regularly attends Prison Board meetings and

25 volunteers at the Lackawanna County Prison; and
 5

 1 WHEREAS, NORMA became a frequent

 2 citizen contributor at weekly Scranton City

 4 sign replacement; and

 5 WHEREAS, NORMA is a faithful member

 6 of the Grace Bible Church where she regularly

 7 attends Sunday services; and

 8 WHEREAS, NORMA, through her daily

 9 acts of kindness to her fellow man, has made

10 our City a better place; and

11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that

12 on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2025, Scranton City

13 Council wishes to congratulate NORMA JEFFRIES

14 for her daily acts of kindness and her

15 community involvement.

16 MS. JEFFRIES: Thank you.

17 MR. SMURL: Actually we'd like to

18 give you a small token of appreciation for all

19 of your work.

20 MAYOR COGNETTI: Miss Norma, thank

21 you for everything that you have done for our

22 community. I think we can see, hear, and feel

23 that in this room tonight. We really

24 appreciate you. I will not read all of this.

25 Isaiah put together a novel about your life.
 6

 1 So we will send this with you, a proclamation

 2 from me as well.

 3 But, Councilman Smurl, great idea

 4 with this sign. We are proud to have almost

 5 5,000 new signs. But you're pushing -- but

 6 that's the most special one. We will miss you

 7 dearly. I know you need to go and be with

 8 those beautiful grand baby boys. But we will

 9 miss you here. So don't forget us, okay?

10 MS. JEFFRIES: Thank you. You know,

11 it's bitter sweet leaving. And I've got two

12 grandsons, Jasper and Jayden. And we do

13 FaceTime like crazy, but there's nothing like

14 being there in person and getting those hugs

15 and the peeks into my room when I'm there.

16 I'm not going to be living with

17 them. I have my own place. I love them to

18 death, but I have my own place. And I think

19 back to the first time I came to Council, a

20 meeting. And I thought, oh, dear, you know,

21 what's this about?

22 But it wasn't long before I wanted

23 to know what town was it that I was moving back

24 to. You know, I was coming back to Scranton.

25 But I didn't know anything about Scranton. So
 7

 1 I figured the best way to learn is to get out

 2 there.

 3 And one of my prayers was that I

 4 would become involved and learn and meet new

 5 friends and people. And the Lord has answered

 6 that prayer because look at all the people

 7 here, you know. So I thank you all for coming.

 8 All the groups that I have been a part of are

 9 here and I appreciate that. So thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Okay. We'll call the

11 meeting to order, please. We'll call the

12 meeting to order. Thank you. Dispense with

13 the reading of the minutes.

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

 1 REPORT FOR OCTOBER 17, 2024 THROUGH OCTOBER 10,

 2 2025.

 3 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

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

 5 received and filed. Do any Council members

 6 have any announcements at this time?

 7 MR. KING: Just quickly. This past

 8 weekend was of the 28th Steamtown Marathon. It

 9 was extremely successful. We had runners from

10 all over the country, 1,035 registered. And

11 the runners absolutely had a great experience.

12 That's thanks to all the volunteers

13 from Forest City to Scranton, literally several

14 thousand. But I truly want to thank the

15 Scranton Police Department, the DPW, our city

16 administration who helped out and allowed us to

17 close down a few streets for a few hours to

18 help make sure that the runners were safe.

19 But everyone I spoke to absolutely

20 had a great experience and loved being here in

21 our city. So I just want to thank everyone who

22 was involved and all the citizen volunteers as

23 well. So thank you.

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

25 Anyone else? No? So I have one. This one is
 9

 1 for join the Friends of Nay Aug Park to step up

 2 for Nay Aug on Sunday, October 19th, 2025, from

 3 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nay Aug Park. This is a

 4 free community event.

 5 It invites everyone to enjoy a walk

 6 through the park while supporting, preservation

 7 and enhancement of one of Scranton's most

 8 beloved landmarks that they will feature live

 9 music, face and pumpkin painting for kids, food

10 trucks, local vendors, all sponsored by

11 generous local business and patrons.

12 Proceeds and donations from the

13 event will benefit ongoing efforts to maintain

14 and improve the park for future generations.

15 So bring the whole family out for a day of

16 fresh air, fall fun, community pride, all in

17 support of Nay Aug Park's lasting legacy.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

19 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

20 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

22 Scranton. Today is October 4th. When will the

23 draft budget for next year be released for

24 public review?

25 MR. SMURL: On the 14th?
 10

 1 MR. KING: No, today the 14th.

 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm sorry, October

 3 14th. When will it be released for public

 4 review?

 5 MR. KING: I think about another

 6 week.

 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Another week.

 8 MR. SMURL: Yeah, maybe, maybe.

 9 MS. HODOWANITZ: And remind you, if

10 possible, please send a copy to the public

11 library. Unlike City Hall, the public library

12 is always open and people could get in there to

13 look at the document. It's a little harder to

14 get in here although Frank does a wonderful job

15 when you ask him for help.

16 Okay, let's talk about the elephant

17 in the room. This streetscape thing and I

18 understand part two will be continued next

19 week. You remember when I did the study for

20 the Council where I went around to every of

21 those pedestrian push buttons crossings and I

22 noted which ones didn't work and all the little

23 problems they had, I remember when they put in

24 the current traffic system -- what was it, 20,

25 25 years ago?
 11

 1 And, you know, the intent was to

 2 move traffic through the downtown area faster.

 3 And they put in these buttons so that when you

 4 wanted to cross, you know, you could see the

 5 white figure and everything else. And I have

 6 this terrible feeling that whatever they do

 7 with the streetscape project, God help us if

 8 they don't commit to maintaining it, number

 9 one, okay.

10 I mean, how many great ideas have we

11 had and then, you know, it falls into disrepair

12 or whatever. Anything they do right, wrong, or

13 indifferent whether you agree with them or not,

14 they need to commit to long-term maintenance.

15 If they're not going to do that, make no

16 changes, okay, because I'm tired of it.

17 Number two, I understand that they

18 talked to the hotels and the banks and the

19 hospitals and the fire department and the

20 police department and the developers and a

21 whole litany of people and the business owners.

22 And they talked to the Center For

23 Independent Living. Keith Williams is great,

24 okay. But I saw no effort to go down to the

25 high rises and the other newly renovated
 12

 1 apartments and talk to the residents who walk

 2 the downtown area day after day.

 3 I haven't had a car since 2012. And

 4 I walk everywhere downtown every day. And I

 5 could tell you it's not just malfunctioning

 6 buttons and it's not just, you know, the

 7 traffic lights. It's the drivers who are glued

 8 to their cell phones not paying attention to

 9 anything, the traffic lights, other cars.

10 And we don't really hold drivers

11 accountable for breaking the law. We don't.

12 You know, I mean, at worst they get a slap on

13 the wrist. And, you know, I mean, they get

14 more discipline if they failed to pay their

15 parking fines than if they, you know, run a

16 pedestrian over. It's bad, okay?

17 I wish that the people who were here

18 for the caucus had stayed to listen to comments

19 by the general public, okay, because if they're

20 not going to come to us and ask us for our

21 opinions, those of who pay taxes -- and I do

22 pay property taxes even though I don't own

23 property. I pay them, okay, for family

24 member -- those of us who pay property taxes

25 and live in the downtown area what we think.
 13

 1 You know, it's not easy when you

 2 have a problem with arthritis and you have a

 3 bad day and you're using a cane or a walker and

 4 you're trying to cross a street, any street,

 5 traffic lights, stop sign. It doesn't make a

 6 difference. I ended up in the ER this month.

 7 And I had to go on steroids.

 8 And a five minute walk from Samter's

 9 to the Cathedral was now 15 minutes. You

10 should have seen me trying to cross the street

11 and getting the honking horns and the fingers

12 and everything else. But I'm still telling

13 you, there are questions.

14 And one of the people -- one of the

15 stakeholders that I don't think was included

16 was the disabled and elderly people who live in

17 the downtown high rises. We pay taxes and we

18 have opinions. Thank you.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Les

20 Spindler.

21 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

22 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

23 homeowner. Driving around the city I see all

24 of these beautiful new crosswalks painted. All

25 I want to know is, how does that make it safer
 14

 1 for anybody to cross the street? Crickets.

 2 MR. KING: Far more visible.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: There is also more

 4 questions to be asked next week when they come

 5 in.

 6 MR. SPINDLER: Yeah, how does it

 7 make it safer just because it's nice white

 8 crosswalks?

 9 MR. KING: Because it sticks out

10 more. It makes it more visible for drivers.

11 Plus they're going to have to stop at the stop

12 sign.

13 MR. SPINDLER: I don't know. I

14 think it's a waste of time. And I asked for a

15 couple lines to be painted on Euclid Avenue

16 coming down Main Avenue so people could make a

17 right turn instead of waiting for people on

18 your left and nothing happened there.

19 About this streetscape project, I

20 still haven't heard them answer the question

21 that I asked at Lackawanna College how are

22 visually impaired people going to know how to

23 cross the street or when to cross? Did they

24 answer that question?

25 MR. KING: We didn't get a chance to
 15

 1 ask it because it ended early. But we do have

 2 a letter from -- I believe.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: They did answer it.

 4 They said that there would be audio cues if

 5 someone is visually impaired then. And it's

 6 also motion sensitive.

 7 MR. SPINDLER: How do those cues

 8 come on?

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Because there's a

10 motion sensor so when it detects the pedestrian

11 at the intersection, then that's when it will

12 cue it.

13 MR. SPINDLER: I could see that

14 failing. Anyway --

15 MR. KING: Blind Association.

16 MR. SMURL: Billy, I've got it.

17 Blind Association?

18 MR. KING: Yeah, there's a letter of

19 support from the Blind Association.

20 MR. SPINDLER: Anyway, I think 5-B

21 should be tabled until January when a new

22 Council takes over because I know three of you

23 up there that are the majority are going to do

24 what the Mayor wants you to do and you're going

25 to pass this through. And I think it's the
 16

 1 most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.

 2 MR. KING: I'm going to do what I

 3 want to do.

 4 MR. SPINDLER: What we have to do

 5 come three weeks today in November, November

 6 4th is elect a new Council supermajority like

 7 we did when Janet Evans was President of

 8 Council. We elected a supermajority, took

 9 Chris Doherty's checkbook away from him and

10 stopped all of his ridiculous BS, which was

11 borrowing and spending.

12 He almost borrowed and spent this

13 city into bankruptcy. And you people named a

14 park after him. That's ridiculous. I think

15 this legislation should be tabled for new

16 Council next year and voted on then. But I

17 know you people won't do it because you listen

18 to what the Mayor tells you. Thank you for

19 your time.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan.

21 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,

22 Lee Morgan. The first thing I have here is the

23 federal courts I think they close in a couple

24 more days because of the budget didn't pass.

25 But I would just like to share the fact that I
 17

 1 haven't done it yet, but the little bit of

 2 discovery I did with ECTV is basically proved

 3 my point.

 4 So I think if I do a request for

 5 summary judgment, the guy -- the judge is

 6 probably Democrat; but I don't see why I

 7 couldn't win because I proved everything that

 8 I've alleged.

 9 And, you know, it's sad when a

10 government works the way this city's government

11 works by stifling free speech and stopping

12 residents from having access to the public

13 access channel where an issue like this could

14 be discussed.

15 I'm totally and 100 percent against

16 this project. And I think all somebody has to

17 do is go up Mulberry Street and see what

18 happened at the University of Scranton. I'm

19 amazed that none of those children got run over

20 in the street. And they're young adults.

21 But narrowing Mulberry Street was a

22 mistake, doing all the silly things we went up

23 there and did by the University of Scranton was

24 a mistake, especially if you grew up on the

25 Hill like I did.
 18

 1 And when you look at this project,

 2 I'd like to ask every Scrantonian to go up to

 3 Nay Aug Park and look for the millions and

 4 millions of dollars that Chris Doherty spent

 5 there. When you find them, let us know where

 6 they are.

 7 Okay, because, the big problem we

 8 have here is that we had studies. And those

 9 studies put those lights there. And they

10 structured traffic flow through the downtown.

11 And it really seems to work extremely well.

12 But we've got to spend millions and millions of

13 dollars.

14 And we've got to come up with a way

15 to justify it. And the harm we're going to do

16 to the city is beyond ridiculous. And adding

17 67 more parking spaces to help fund a failed

18 Parking Authority isn't going to help the

19 residents.

20 What we really need to do is in this

21 city -- I'm glad my children aren't here. I'm

22 glad I got them all to leave the city. Okay,

23 what we need is to build light industry

24 infrastructure in the city. We need to start

25 building an economic engine in the city to give
 19

 1 young adults an opportunity to have a leg up.

 2 What we've done in this city is move

 3 in a way for the next generation where they

 4 won't be able to earn a decent living and lift

 5 this city up because for too long we've elected

 6 Democrats here. And they thought that the

 7 poorer they made the city, the more federal and

 8 state funds they get here.

 9 And they have done a really good job

10 of it. You know, you'd have to be me as a

11 child growing up -- well, in lower Green Ridge

12 and in the Hill watching what happened to Adams

13 Avenue as they tore all of that down. You

14 know, and then you look at the project that

15 Chris Doherty wants to do with Hilltop, all

16 public money, okay?

17 But all the politicians and their

18 families are living good. It's the ordinary

19 people that can't pay their water and their

20 sewer bills. And we all know that the City of

21 Scranton mismanaged the Sewer Authority.

22 And when you look at this project

23 how they are getting ready to change all these

24 streets from one way to two way, remember one

25 thing. They didn't get any wider. Okay, and
 20

 1 now when people cross the street they'll have

 2 to look for traffic in two directions.

 3 And when you talk about people not

 4 stopping, I don't know, a light's more

 5 conducive to a car stopping than a sign. Okay,

 6 and the crosswalks, like I said, go up to the

 7 Hill and look. Watch those young people walk

 8 across those streets. Even the speed limit is

 9 reduced and the road is narrowed there.

10 Terrible decision by the city.

11 All those young adults should be

12 crossing under the roadway. There should be

13 tunnels built under the roadway to cross those

14 children across -- well, young adults across

15 those streets. We've made some very poor

16 decisions and this Mayor, we could spend 15

17 million dollars.

18 We could spend millions and millions

19 of dollars. But it's not increasing the

20 quality of life for the residents who live

21 here. But it's making certain people rich,

22 okay, and we've got to do something different

23 here.

24 And politics, the Democrats are the

25 party of keeping the people down. I explained
 21

 1 that to you last week. They were against

 2 everything in the 60s that empowered people.

 3 The Republicans drove it all. That's probably

 4 why Martin Luther King was a Republican.

 5 Okay, and we need to do something

 6 different here. We need to vote that down and

 7 think.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Bob Bolus.

 9 MR. BOLUS: Bob Bolus, Scranton.

10 Tonight, I'm here to honor Charlie Kirk on his

11 birthday. It's October 14th. His birthday is

12 the same as mine. It's the same as General

13 Dwight Eisenhower.

14 It goes back onto who we are and

15 fortunately I'm proud to say that today is my

16 birthday and his also. But it's unfortunately,

17 you know, he wasn't here to receive the medal

18 from President Trump the Freedom Medal for what

19 he did.

20 Contrary, his life was cut short by

21 a queer's assassin bullet. Yet outside on the

22 poll again, we have the queer flag that we're

23 honoring again. I already have litigation

24 against it. It's going to the state Supreme

25 Court. And eventually those flags are not
 22

 1 going to be on our building.

 2 They're not going to be honored, not

 3 when you're an assassin and you kill people and

 4 you think you should be honored, no way in

 5 hell. Today I was honored to have received

 6 from the President of the United States a

 7 personal signed birthday card from the

 8 President for everything I've done in the

 9 community and around the country. And I

10 couldn't have been prouder to have received

11 that today.

12 And being from Scranton, getting

13 that -- the next thing I want to see is Biden

14 signs gone. And we're in the middle of

15 litigation to get rid of him too. It's time we

16 bring the city back.

17 I'm still, like I said, appealing

18 the queer flags on City Hall. But the Mayor

19 came from Portland. There was a queer bar on

20 every street. I spent a lot of time in Oregon.

21 So I know what I'm doing.

22 And her direction to spend millions

23 and millions of dollars in this city and this

24 county is an absurdity. I watched the stupid

25 thing over the streets. It's the dumbest thing
 23

 1 I ever saw.

 2 What you should do is talk to the

 3 Fire Chief and the Police Chief and get a list

 4 of all the accidents that have happened and

 5 pedestrian hits. Then you know where to start.

 6 That's the formula they need to start at, not

 7 this rich wish list that somebody wants to make

 8 one-way streets again.

 9 We are we already learned in the

10 past that one-way streets suck in the city.

11 You're putting bicycle path onto Wyoming

12 Avenue. But the other day I'm going down

13 there, here's a moron coming the wrong way on

14 his bicycle.

15 So how do you account that you are

16 going to prevent stupidity? It's not going to

17 happen. And people will run a red light.

18 They'll just as well run a damn stop sign. It

19 don't make a difference. So what I saw here

20 today -- and I've been all over the world.

21 I got millions of miles and over the

22 road drivers, the tractor-trailer drivers and

23 the companies I had, I spent time on the

24 Montdale truck racing track over 250 miles an

25 hour.
 24

 1 And when I -- born and raised in

 2 this city and I see people go through stop

 3 signs, not pay attention to anybody. I see

 4 dumb people walking in the crosswalks and not

 5 even pay attention what the hell they're

 6 looking at.

 7 So what I saw here tonight is an

 8 absolute joke. Talk to the chiefs and then get

 9 a list of all the accidents that really

10 happened here and see if this is warranted.

11 You're never going to change stupidity. I

12 don't care what you do.

13 And you're not going to change dumb

14 drivers just like during the King's rally, I

15 had a moron drive up the right side of the

16 trailer as I was making a right-hand turn, pure

17 stupidity. And you're not going to change it.

18 And then the last thing is, I think

19 it's beneficial to everybody to know we filed a

20 suit against the tax assessor to prevent him

21 from certifying the tax assessment. Gaughan

22 stated the Commissioners have nothing to do

23 with it. It's up to the assessor.

24 Well, Mr. Assessor, guess what?

25 It's going to be a long day in hell before
 25

 1 you're able to certify the assessment or the

 2 tax increase and screw the people in this

 3 community. And I'm proud to say I'm the one

 4 orchestrating it.

 5 And I'm proud to say we're going to

 6 bring Scranton back where it belongs. And

 7 we're going to put government where it belongs.

 8 And I'm happy to see the Mayor running like

 9 she's running. I can't wait until she loses

10 both seats and we bring Scranton back where the

11 hell it belongs. Thank you.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

13 MR. BOLUS: And I have to leave now.

14 I'm real late for my dinner. Thank you.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Glynis

16 Johns.

17 MS. JOHNS: Good evening, Council,

18 Glynis Johns, founder and CEO of the Black

19 Scranton Project. I just wanted to come up

20 here and congratulate Miss Norma Jeffries again

21 on the proclamation. She is a wonderful,

22 wonderful woman and a fixture here in the City

23 of Scranton.

24 I just kind of wanted to bring it

25 full circle for myself back here in the
 26

 1 chambers and share with the people here, many

 2 of whom I've seen over the past coming up on a

 3 decade now.

 4 The first time I came to these

 5 chambers for a City Council meeting, Miss Norma

 6 was here and she taught me all of the basic

 7 rules about how City Council works, how I sign

 8 my name up to speak, you know, where to sit and

 9 all things who everybody was on Council at the

10 time.

11 And it was really valuable and made

12 me feel very comfortable to come here and sit

13 every week during that time. This was like

14 2016, 2017 up until, like, 2020 almost I was

15 coming often. And she just really made a big

16 impact.

17 As you could see, sometimes it's a

18 little intimidating to come up here and say the

19 things you want to say to Council, to the city,

20 or sitting among some of the residents here.

21 But she was always very welcoming and she

22 always gave great ideas on how to participate

23 in city politics.

24 So I just wanted to come up there

25 and say again, thank you to the city for
 27

 1 recognizing her but also to again put it into a

 2 community perspective how much she's valuable

 3 to the people in community, not only just that;

 4 but she helped me as I got prepared to create

 5 my nonprofit.

 6 She comes to a lot of our events.

 7 She gives great ideas. And she's constantly

 8 helping everyone regardless of their age,

 9 regardless of their standing. She wants to

10 be -- she wants to be someone who helps people

11 love our city and participate in all that we

12 have going on.

13 So I just wanted to give that little

14 message. And while I'm standing up here, I

15 wanted to give a shameless plug. Black

16 Scranton Project has two events this week.

17 We're partnering with WVIA this Thursday, a

18 watch party for a documentary that's premiering

19 Thursday night at 7 p.m.

20 It's called Making NEPA Home, which

21 kind of ties into what we're saying. So we

22 will be starting our watch party at Black

23 Scranton Project Center for Arts and Culture at

24 6:30. It starts at 7 -- the show. And we will

25 just be talking about the film and also the
 28

 1 people that were involved in the documentary

 2 will be at our space as well.

 3 That is 1902 North Main Avenue,

 4 Scranton in North Scranton. And then also this

 5 Saturday, we have a journaling workshop that's

 6 open to all ages. It's called I love myself,

 7 silencing negative self-talk, which I know a

 8 lot of us can use some support in that.

 9 So it's a free event from 12 to 2 at

10 our Center For Arts and Culture. We'll be

11 working with Jennifer Aleke'. She does a lot

12 of wellness practices. So we'll be giving some

13 journaling prompts, meditation, and just some

14 affirmations to bring a little of positivity

15 and community into your day.

16 So if you are interested, more

17 information at Blackscranton.org or you could

18 follow us on social media. And again, thank

19 you, Council, for listening to me and everyone

20 here. And again congratulations to Miss Norma

21 Jeffries for being such an amazing woman for

22 everyone here and not just in Scranton but

23 Northeastern PA. Thank you.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Leonard

25 Holzman.
 29

 1 MR. HOLZMAN: Hello. Thank you for

 2 letting me come and speak to you, City Council.

 3 I live over on the 1700 block of Sanderson

 4 Avenue in Green Ridge. And I've owned property

 5 there since 1987.

 6 My wife had a preschool there on the

 7 corner. And then I bought 1757 Sanderson

 8 Avenue. And we moved there when I retired,

 9 moved back to the city. In 1987 when I bought

10 1759 Sanderson Avenue for my wife's preschool,

11 I did have to do a lot of work remodeling.

12 And the first thing I realized that

13 the intersection of where 1700 block, 600 block

14 of Electric Street and the 1800 block of

15 Sanderson Avenue is a very, very dangerous

16 intersection.

17 I have been complaining and asking

18 for help for -- to do something in regards to

19 the safety issues of that intersection. One,

20 we have a tremendous amount of accidents there.

21 We have one stop sign on the Electric Street

22 and none on the 1700 block and the 1800 block

23 of Sanderson. Another is to make that a

24 three-way stop sign to better traffic control

25 there.
 30

 1 We have accidents, T-boned accidents

 2 there. I could spend an hour and a half

 3 telling you about how the seriousness of the

 4 accidents. It's amazing that no one has been

 5 killed. But people have been hauled out of

 6 there in ambulances.

 7 And cars have been totally

 8 destroyed. Now, you have to visualize we're

 9 right in the business section district of Green

10 Ridge there how small it is and how cars could

11 come back through there so fast and demolish

12 each other.

13 I've scene three and four cars --

14 two and three cars totally demolished and the

15 people hauled out of there in ambulances over

16 the years.

17 Well, last year with the help of

18 Bill Gaughan, I wrote a letter to City Council

19 and to the Mayor in regards to our safety

20 issues there and asked for help. And basically

21 I haven't gotten anywhere. In all of these

22 years that I've been complaining to different

23 people and asking, it just goes nowhere.

24 We need -- one thing I was very

25 happy to see is that they're putting these
 31

 1 pedestrian crosswalks through -- all through

 2 the city. And I think it's beautiful. But I

 3 have been after them to have them across

 4 Electric Street and Sanderson Avenue as people

 5 try to cross there to get to the bus station or

 6 the bus stop to no avail.

 7 I walked around here now. We have

 8 Robert Morris School over there. We have

 9 children coming from Electric Street. We have

10 children coming up and down Sanderson Avenue to

11 go over to the school. And they're crossing

12 roads with no crosswalks. They're not even

13 there.

14 The 700 block of Electric Street,

15 there's a (inaudible) with Electric Street.

16 And the corner of the 700 block of Electric

17 Street, does not have handicap corners. They

18 have a curb there 7 inches deep, okay. And

19 there aren't any crosswalks there.

20 Now I thought that was mandatory.

21 And they have going through all the -- you

22 know, all the other corners were done but not

23 there. There's no crosswalks there. The kids

24 coming up from the 700 -- even side of the 700

25 block of Sanderson Avenue and going up Electric
 32

 1 Street to go over to Robert Morris School, they

 2 have to cross over Electric Street.

 3 There are no crosswalks there for

 4 these kids and families. You see these parents

 5 trying to get across here and to go over. The

 6 next block down on the side of -- on Boulevard

 7 Avenue, there's a street there -- Columbia

 8 Street that runs along Robert Morris School,

 9 there aren't any crosswalks there.

10 Those kids are walking across those

11 streets without the crosswalks. Green Ridge

12 corners, Market Street and Sanderson Avenue,

13 they're all gone. They had been there but they

14 are not there anymore. They have to be done.

15 Now, I've seen what they've been

16 doing in the rest of the city and it's

17 wonderful. But nothing was happening here.

18 And I have been asking for years for this to be

19 done just on our block there because of the --

20 the traffic.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, will

22 you please request a traffic study for the

23 intersection he speaks of? And definitely

24 follow up with crosswalks. They're everywhere.

25 So they need to be there.
 33

 1 MR. KING: Are you looking for a

 2 stop sign coming down Sanderson as you get to

 3 Electric Street?

 4 MR. HOLZMAN: Yes, what I'm

 5 looking -- what I'm asking for and I've been

 6 asking for years --

 7 MR. KING: I know you want

 8 crosswalks.

 9 MR. SMURL: Well, let's -- Mr.

10 Voldenberg, find out first if there has been a

11 study there and if it died or what happened to

12 it. If there has not been, then we need one.

13 But we certainly need the crosswalks finished.

14 Okay? Thank you.

15 MR. HOLZMAN: My time is up.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

17 MR. KING: Can you send us an e-mail

18 with your --

19 MR. SMURL: I have it.

20 MR. HOLZMAN: There was a letter

21 sent to you last year with Bill Gaughan. I

22 don't know if you still have it. Well, that

23 would help with the traffic because we have

24 people coming -- accidents there. People are

25 coming through there 50 miles an hour in a one
 34

 1 block area and demolishing cars. And you don't

 2 do that at 25 miles.

 3 MR. KING: We'll request a traffic

 4 study.

 5 MR. HOLZMAN: I appreciate it very

 6 much. Thank you.

 7 MR. KING: Thank you.

 8 MR. SMURL: Ron Ellman.

 9 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, Council. This

10 meeting about your downtown just absolutely

11 disgusting for me as a taxpayer. Everything is

12 for downtown with Cognetti's obsession. How

13 can you even consider spending money 60 days to

14 see what's going to happen?

15 These consultants get paid.

16 Everything is a monumental waste that you

17 people give 2 million dollars to a bunch of

18 wealthy people for parking and can't even get a

19 veteran a handicap free parking. You people

20 are just a failure for the city -- taxpayers.

21 Now, this senseless painting streets

22 all colors and everything, you'd have to be out

23 there every couple weeks spending money. Where

24 is all of this money supposed to come from?

25 Taxes are outrageous. You people are in a
 35

 1 dream world of Cognetti's because of this

 2 obsession with -- you got a bunch of lousy tax

 3 cheats downtown that support her.

 4 Everything owned is a historic

 5 building. They don't pay taxes on it. I pay

 6 taxes. You want to hear a reality? Directly

 7 across the street, a resident -- this idiot

 8 wants to make a garage. He's going to the

 9 zoning board.

10 It's houses next to him, houses

11 behind him, houses across the street. Who

12 knows what these morons in your zoning board,

13 they're the ones that why we have a soda farm

14 inside the city limits, hundreds of apartments

15 made. No building permits. This is the kind

16 of zoning board that I have to deal with.

17 I'll tell you, I just -- I can't

18 believe what's going on. And there's people

19 just lay here like sheep going to slaughter.

20 It's senseless. Why can't 7 million dollar

21 plan wait to November?

22 Hopefully she won't even be here in

23 November. There's two -- two people wanting

24 the job. I don't know if Trish is even in it.

25 I haven't seen her name. And Mr. Barrett,
 36

 1 probably 10 times the experience that she is in

 2 politics.

 3 But this city -- you are talking

 4 about all of this money for expenditures,

 5 waste. My car pays taxes to use the street.

 6 Electric vehicles, you want to give half the

 7 street they are not paying for to electric

 8 vehicles that are completely illegal.

 9 Why don't you get it through your

10 head the state says you have to be licensed,

11 insured, and inspected to be on the streets.

12 You are sitting there planning to spend all of

13 this money for illegal vehicles. That's the

14 kind of Council we got. I don't know.

15 I just think -- I just assume stay

16 at home and see what happens than coming to

17 these meetings anymore. 25, 30 years, I've

18 never seen a city go to pot like it has between

19 Biden and Cognetti.

20 It's a shame what you people have

21 allowed the city to happen at the taxpayers'

22 expense. You people don't know what goes on in

23 the city. Go down to Jackson Street, some of

24 those side streets that look like a war zone.

25 And you're talking about spending 7
 37

 1 million dollars downtown for a bunch of tax

 2 cheats. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

 3 Mr. Smurl, it's like being pregnant. You are

 4 or you aren't. Are you going to vote for this?

 5 MR. SMURL: Yes, I am.

 6 MR. ELLMAN: What about you,

 7 mister --

 8 MR. SMURL: No, you can't ask

 9 Council unless they want to answer.

10 MR. MCANDREW: I like some of it. I

11 don't like all.

12 MR. ELLMAN: It's part of a meeting.

13 Why can't I find out? I want to know what you

14 think. I see silence is your answer.

15 MR. MCANDREW: You'll know in

16 probably about 10 minutes.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Ron. Amber

18 Viola.

19 MS. VIOLA: Good evening, everyone.

20 Thank you so much, City Council. I appreciate

21 the moment to speak. I wanted to speak on

22 behalf of the Lackawanna County NAACP about

23 Miss Norma Jeffries.

24 First, I'd like to thank you guys

25 all for giving her the proclamation. That was
 38

 1 such just a wonderful gesture to somebody who

 2 is above and beyond deserving of all the

 3 accolades and recognition. We could not have

 4 formed our local chapter of the NAACP without

 5 Miss Norma Jeffries.

 6 I came back to Scranton after being

 7 in the Navy. And Miss Norma is one of the

 8 first persons that I met here. And as Glynis

 9 said, she kind of took me under her wing and

10 showed me around, showed me how to come to City

11 Council, be at City Hall.

12 She's one of the people who really

13 pushed me to even go out for City Council. At

14 one point she pushed me to take the job at --

15 with the Mayor, Paige Cognetti. And I am so

16 appreciative to that. She has been such a role

17 model, an example to all of the kids here and

18 young adults in this area, not just Scranton,

19 but Lackawanna County as well.

20 She is a wealth of history, a wealth

21 of knowledge. And we're going to lose so much

22 when she moves away from us. And I just wanted

23 to take an opportunity to thank her, to give

24 her her flowers while she's here because she

25 definitely deserves them.
 39

 1 I wanted to thank all the people who

 2 came out tonight to really show their support

 3 for her. If there is ever a community event,

 4 Miss Norma is going to be the first person to

 5 sign up. She's going to be one of the first

 6 people there.

 7 And she's always going to be there

 8 to help. I think that she truly is an example

 9 of what a public servant is. And she's an

10 example of what a public servant should be.

11 And I think that we all need to take a step

12 back and be like -- be more like Miss Norma.

13 Thank you. I appreciate the time.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Rik Little.

15 Rik?

16 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton. I'm

17 Rik Little. It's Taco Tuesday over at the

18 Catholic relief. And it seems that it's speed

19 bump Tuesday too. It was a surprise coming in

20 here. Anyway, all of this stuff, it's like

21 ground hog day, like same thing with the

22 parking meters.

23 You get new parking meters. You get

24 new stop signs, speed lights. Let me tell you

25 as somebody who is still alive, I see these
 40

 1 people pushing the buttons on those things and

 2 the robot says walk. It never says anything

 3 else or it says wait, you know, and you're just

 4 there. You have to look both ways. You have

 5 to take your life into your own hands.

 6 I think there is a lot of problem

 7 with Democrats at the moment. And democracy,

 8 what they're talking about democracy in this

 9 area because it makes no sense to me -- the

10 Home Rule Charter. Everything seems to be good

11 before we got the Home Rule Charter.

12 We had the Walsh swimming pools, you

13 know, early 70s, 80s. People remembering the

14 good times in Scranton. But it's when the, you

15 know, the office they always say, "There's no

16 party like a Scranton party." Well, the

17 Scranton party is the Democrat party here.

18 And, I mean, I was -- I got out of

19 the -- God told me to run that I have to become

20 the Mayor of Scranton. I was 71 years old.

21 I'm put out on the street after 14 and a half

22 years living at Scranton Housing Authority,

23 Adams Avenue High Rise.

24 And I look into the history of

25 everything. That building was built for the
 41

 1 elderly. It was built with federal funds.

 2 Somewhere along the line it became like, oh,

 3 well, we can -- we can dodge that, sneak

 4 that. This wasn't covered by federal funds.

 5 This was, you know -- and I remember, you know,

 6 they put Officer Haring in jail.

 7 But it's crazy how the lawyer class,

 8 how the judges have taken over. And it's not

 9 fair. And it's always in relation to housing,

10 you know, a person's residency and elections.

11 And that Scranton's problem. They keep going

12 on year after year.

13 And the Home Rule Charter which came

14 to Scranton in '76 and the county in '77, I

15 mean, we're at the end of the cul-de-sac.

16 Everything is decided by judges. And the

17 taxpayers are paying for the judges. And it

18 can't -- it cannot sustain.

19 And we're going to put in speed

20 bumps, but we haven't had a head of DPW for a

21 long time. It should be put in by people

22 working for the City of Scranton. That would

23 build the City of Scranton. But, no, it has to

24 be, you know, it's consultants. And we'll get

25 an outside contractor.
 42

 1 We'll buy it from someplace in New

 2 York to do it. I'm -- I ended up here totally

 3 living on Social Security. And the judiciary

 4 evicted me because they're running a Democrat

 5 voting farm. I could see this immediately when

 6 I moved in.

 7 Everything was criminalized.

 8 Everything was for some insurance thing. And

 9 there was a fire every week. And then I meet

10 people, oh, I'm working for Matt Cartwright's

11 office and I got a free apartment. Well, I'm

12 homeless. And I'm standing under the Dunder

13 Mifflin building thinking about history,

14 thinking about Thomas Mifflin who signed the

15 Continental Congress thing in PA.

16 There's a great history here. But

17 they have not kept their end of the bargain in

18 Lackawanna. And no one -- Scranton, the things

19 of Scranton aren't Scranton's anymore. And

20 that's why I encourage you to vote for me on

21 the AA mission from God party for Mayor of

22 Scranton this November 4th. And the debate is

23 this Thursday.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That is all

25 for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else like to
 43

 1 address Council?

 2 MS. KOLOSKY: Doris Kolosky,

 3 Scranton resident. First, I thank you all for

 4 giving Norma that beautiful proclamation and

 5 the street sign. She totally, totally

 6 deserved. Okay, I'm going to ask a few

 7 questions about the caucus.

 8 I might have missed a few things

 9 because Mr. Bolus kept talking. So I did miss

10 some things. So, first of all, I was wondering

11 how many four-way stop signs are there downtown

12 versus the lights?

13 And I was wondering, who is

14 responsible to make sure that it's going to be

15 working? What happens if the internet goes

16 down? Unless I missed it, was everything

17 connected to an app and the internet for the

18 flashing lights?

19 And I know they mentioned Comcast,

20 which my Comcast internet has gone down off and

21 on. Would that be the whole thing because I

22 know when a traffic light goes out, usually

23 somebody sees it, calls the police and then

24 they come and have somebody out there directing

25 traffic.
 44

 1 So I was curious about that. They

 2 said they were going to plant trees. And I was

 3 just thinking is somebody going to take care to

 4 make sure they are not blocking any of those

 5 stop signs because I know in the Hill Section

 6 there is quite a few stop signs that sometimes

 7 you almost have to be on top of them with trees

 8 blocking them.

 9 And there is another thing was --

10 oh, Wyoming and Mulberry, if I'm not mistaken,

11 most of the hit and runs that I read in the

12 newspaper might have been Wyoming and Mulberry

13 where the street lines out when you come down

14 Mulberry.

15 Personally, I would like to see an

16 extra traffic light in the middle where they

17 have that grassy part just so people could get

18 halfway across and they get halfway across the

19 other way. I was happy to see that my biggest

20 concern was to let them try it out before they

21 actually did all of that stuff that was

22 addressed.

23 Okay, the other thing I wanted to

24 address was the temperature for the homeless

25 that I brought up last -- two weeks ago I think
 45

 1 it was. And Jessica mentioned it last week

 2 because I saw it on TV and thank you for

 3 checking on the curb cut, Jessica.

 4 The thing I was wondering about that

 5 is I thought -- I was trying to listen to it on

 6 TV and sometimes it cuts in and out. Did you

 7 say something about the county with the

 8 temperature?

 9 MR. SMURL: Yes, the temperature

10 Lackawanna County goes by so the city goes by

11 it.

12 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. So should the

13 Lackawanna County Commissioners be the people I

14 should be harassing instead of you?

15 MR. MCANDREW: Give it a shot.

16 MR. SMURL: Well, we could probably

17 do our own, Doris. I would have to speak with

18 all the Council members to see if they want

19 to -- if somebody wants to head something like

20 that and look into it.

21 MS. KOLOSKY: I didn't really hear

22 you.

23 MR. SMURL: I said I will ask

24 Council members later if anybody wants to head

25 something like that and look into changing
 46

 1 that. I'm sure we could make our own ordinance

 2 for that.

 3 MS. KOLOSKY: At least a little

 4 warmer. I mean, that's kind of crazy. And I

 5 don't mind going to Lackawanna County and

 6 annoying them.

 7 MR. SMURL: That's all right.

 8 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. So the only

 9 other thing since I have enough time to say is

10 usually when Mr. Bolus speaks I have something

11 to say after him. I didn't like his reference

12 to the queer flag.

13 Say basically because supposedly the

14 person that shot Charlie Kirk was belonging to

15 the queer community that we shouldn't be

16 honoring any queer people. Please don't ever

17 think that the rest of us feel that way. And

18 thank you and good night.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

20 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

21 Tonight we have what we all expected, an all

22 way stop sign ordinance. We were told at the

23 Lackawanna College meeting that we would have

24 updates and further input at least two

25 meetings. We received none.
 47

 1 The administration decided what it

 2 wanted and told us what we should think and we

 3 should be happy with that. And when some

 4 reasonable questions arose, how were they

 5 addressed? The Mayor stepped up and tried to

 6 end the public questions at the meeting, trying

 7 to take away the microphone from the people so

 8 they could not speak.

 9 I sent to members of Council a

10 report from WCBB5 Boston investigations called

11 in one of America's most walkable cities, a

12 danger for pedestrians. They have straight and

13 turn lights go green at the same time the walk

14 indicators in that direction say it's okay to

15 cross. They don't work.

16 People see the green light and turn

17 into pedestrians. There is no fix for the

18 blind at stop signs as they give really no

19 audible alerts. As it was brought up prior, I

20 guess it would be unkind for us for -- for the

21 blind and visually impaired should not be

22 referred to as the new city speed bumps.

23 We'll just call the blind and

24 visually impaired mobile traffic calming

25 devices. That way we can report it has a
 48

 1 mobile trafficking calming device was hit by a

 2 car. Now that's forward thinking, fine optics.

 3 Let's say for the pedestrians, two

 4 one-way streets that offer two traffic choices

 5 each straight ahead or a single turn or a four

 6 way. Let's take North Washington and Linden

 7 with two one ways, the pedestrian on the west

 8 side of Washington has to watch Linden Street

 9 alone.

10 They are on the east side. They

11 need to watch the straight from Linden and the

12 turn off Washington. Each lane has two

13 choices. Now, with full traffic, we have four

14 choices. It becomes 12 because every street

15 now has a straight and left and right turn into

16 your crosswalks.

17 We know everyone in Scranton uses

18 turn signals. And good luck crossing on a

19 walker or a wheelchair. Now, looking at the

20 note in 5-B, the verbiage for the manual on

21 unform traffic control devices and criteria,

22 Section C, minimum volumes.

23 Mr. Pocius warned about them and the

24 Mayor's only -- at the Mayor's only dog and

25 pony show. Once the traffic lights are removed
 49

 1 no matter how we try to salvage the test

 2 period, the traffic control will not allow them

 3 back in because they do not qualify anymore

 4 under C, minimum volume requirements which is

 5 in your documents tonight.

 6 The Mayor's attempting to remove one

 7 way streets and lights and give us a case where

 8 there is no going back. In South Side we had a

 9 stop sign and a crosswalk. A pedestrian was

10 hit crossing the street. It was a four-way

11 stop intersection, clearly painted crosswalks

12 but it still happened.

13 A little over a year ago at

14 Washington and Vine, a one way and a two way at

15 the light at the library a woman was run over

16 as well. Last week while driving to this

17 Council session I was met with a person driving

18 the wrong way down Adams Avenue that became

19 upset as they pulled into a parking space and I

20 stopped so they could turn around go the right

21 direction.

22 But they wanted to continue in the

23 wrong direction because they knew where they

24 were going -- where they wanted to go to. When

25 we have drivers who ignore one ways, you expect
 50

 1 them to pay attention to a stop sign?

 2 The walkability and marketability,

 3 how many dead are reasonable? What level of

 4 adults and kids hospitalized or dead are

 5 acceptable? As kids crossing are those least

 6 visible to cars. This is not the first time

 7 the administration ignored people's will.

 8 They did it with the Recovery Act.

 9 We have a walkability with serious questions

10 and very tangible permanent harm possible and

11 the assurance of two meetings that never

12 happened. What we're told is, the people are

13 too stupid, sit down, shut up and vote for me.

14 This is on the verge of the Mayoral

15 and City Council vote that may change the

16 direction for the city. So I get the rush. We

17 may seek a vote by people to reconsider some

18 changes and who may tap the breaks. I would

19 suggest discussions and answers before

20 funerals. Pick it up next year. Hear the

21 people.

22 For those viewing this, if you

23 believe they're willing to hold off your

24 representatives, you have a chance to vote them

25 out of office. They're willing to risk the
 51

 1 safety of people, then we can't allow them the

 2 ability to make those choices.

 3 And as Mr. Smurl said directly

 4 before this body, we have a session next week

 5 for the same thing; but he has already made his

 6 choice. He has already said how he's going to

 7 vote. He doesn't care what's said in here.

 8 Good night.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

10 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton

11 city residents and Council, Mike Mancini,

12 Scranton. Tonight, on the question, why? Why

13 would somebody be offended by my words each

14 week before Council? I pay attention to local

15 stuff.

16 I point out the things that need to

17 be done, corrected, or done poorly or ways to

18 resolve the issue on behalf of others.

19 Everyone has opinions about national stuff.

20 What is your opinion of Scranton and how it

21 operates? Personally, currently, I give

22 Scranton of half a star.

23 It deserves five stars because of

24 its citizens and potential. If my words offend

25 you, pick better candidates. Replacing
 52

 1 downtown traffic lights with stop signs, why?

 2 Because Paige breaks everything.

 3 Clerical staff, police officers,

 4 firefighters, DPW employee unions will not

 5 endorse the Mayor. Why? Because they work for

 6 her. They witness first hand her destruction.

 7 They know her well. To the rest of Scranton,

 8 you learn this just like riding your bike.

 9 Stranger danger.

10 In the absence of the Mayor, the

11 Deputy Mayor is in charge. The city does not

12 have one named. The out-of-county Business

13 Administrator makes decisions in violation of

14 the Home Rule Charter.

15 Why does the Council President and

16 head of the Rules Committee not address this

17 violation under Section 609? Because he's

18 endorsed by the Mayor. Communication with PA

19 Water would change the road conditions for

20 better. Why is this not being addressed by the

21 Mayor? Because she doesn't care.

22 When you hire a communications

23 director, that person becomes your voice.

24 Wendy Wilson, her communications director

25 posted something on Facebook about School Board
 53

 1 Director Bob Casey. I've known Bob for over 40

 2 years.

 3 He's a good man. He does not

 4 deserve the attempt at demoralization of his

 5 character. I not only blame Wendy, but I also

 6 blame Paige Cognetti. To Chris Kelly from the

 7 Times, shame on you for downplaying this post

 8 that has since been deleted. To my friend,

 9 Bob, thank you for being you.

10 Paige eyed up the State Senate seat

11 just to see it given to Marty Flynn. She fired

12 his mother after 19 years and just shy of her

13 pension. Why? Because it's all about Paige.

14 She is applying for the same DCNR grant that

15 was denied for the deep end pool at Nay Aug.

16 They've been closed for seven years.

17 There should be two pools there currently. Are

18 there even covers for the pools? Four less

19 deep end pools, history lost. Why? Our city

20 has so much potential. Paige has made our

21 situation much worse since her arrival.

22 Scranton has always been her backup

23 plan. Every citizen of Scranton is her backup

24 plan. It's time to toss that Tuscan chicken

25 sandwich away. It has lost its taste. Three
 54

 1 weeks today we vote. I mentioned character

 2 over party.

 3 There is one person who stands out

 4 in this election cycle and he has proven by

 5 example a preclude to what he could do in one

 6 of those seats. He will utilize the excellent

 7 skill set.

 8 Mr. Voldenberg has taken many calls,

 9 pointed out many issues and found ways to

10 resolve them. He cares about the people of our

11 city. He looks at people for who they are, not

12 their party affiliation. Virgil Argenta is a

13 good man who means well and deserves your vote.

14 He's earned mine.

15 I know the kindness of our citizens.

16 I will continue to keep asking the questions

17 and keep getting crickets. I will keep the

18 pressure on. I will hope that our citizens and

19 voters do the same. We deserve so much better.

20 Those in power continue to try to dismiss me

21 and will not take me seriously. That too is a

22 lie.

23 Those in power take those who

24 operate on a different level like Virgil and I

25 very seriously. They could ignore questions
 55

 1 and concerns. But they cannot silence all of

 2 us. I could feel a domino is about to fall.

 3 We feel it too. It takes courage, passion and

 4 a sense of doing the right thing to push those

 5 dominos.

 6 Once a few fall for the better, they

 7 all fall. When that happens you get your city

 8 back because you deserve better. Next week the

 9 remainder of my choices for this election cycle

10 and why. Good evening, Council.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

12 It doesn't look like it, Frank.

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

14 MOTIONS.

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

16 any motions or comments?

17 MR. KING: Nothing at this time.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

19 Schuster, do you have any motions or comments?

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

21 There's a couple ongoing concerns from

22 residents, Tripp Place, Crown Avenue, Gibbons

23 Street and North Main and Clearview. I sent

24 all of that stuff in through e-mail, Frank, so

25 just waiting to hear on some of those areas.
 56

 1 We did get some questions back from

 2 last week. I had asked about if the

 3 administration was -- had filled the position

 4 of DPW Director, Park's Director and Refuse

 5 Coordinator. And the answer that I got back

 6 was just that the city administration is

 7 continuing interview prospective candidates for

 8 those positions.

 9 Last week we spoke about the Lookout

10 which I was happy to see that we got a cost

11 estimate for that project. There was several

12 questions asked. But one of the questions I

13 had asked because it's a WPA project if the

14 city would look into eligibility for WPA

15 grants.

16 The answer I got back was that the

17 city is investigating the Lookout's eligibility

18 from National Registry for Historic Places and

19 that designation can open up additional funding

20 opportunities, so happy to hear that. I

21 just -- I'll believe it when I see it. So when

22 I see it, I'll be even happier.

23 There was a question asked by Marie

24 Schumacher about the binoculars that were

25 there. I did see them in the summer. The
 57

 1 answer we got back was that in July the

 2 viewfinder was hit by a car. The base of it

 3 was broken. Tower Optical from Connecticut

 4 came and removed it. And I do believe that was

 5 the group that built it in the first place.

 6 The Architectural American Heritage

 7 group informed the city that in order to

 8 replace it we would have to ensure its safety.

 9 So the city is going to install safety measures

10 to ensure that it won't be hit again. That was

11 the answer for that question.

12 I did ask a question. We had two

13 grants that were put in front of Council. One

14 was for 1 point -- 1 million two hundred

15 sixty-four thousand six hundred fifty-eight

16 dollars that came on September 2nd. It was

17 related to the Lackawanna Avenue Project.

18 With that, some Council members did

19 ask if streetlights or traffic lights were

20 going to be replaced. The answer that we got

21 on that was that it was not traffic lights.

22 They were, in fact, streetlights. Last week we

23 got a grant which was a match grant. So it was

24 for 632,329, which was equivalent to the same

25 thing.
 58

 1 And the question that I had asked

 2 was, why would the one grant application we're

 3 saying it wasn't for replacement of the

 4 streetlights, the second one it was.

 5 The city answered the question,

 6 which I thought they would have answered. They

 7 said that they applied for the two grants for a

 8 continuation of the Lackawanna Avenue

 9 Streetscape Project. This is typical due to

10 the high cost of these projects.

11 As a point of reference, the

12 Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project near the

13 Radison has four funding streams. So we did

14 talk about six funding streams for the project

15 tonight.

16 And this is what I assume that we

17 apply for two separate grants for the same

18 project. My question was, why when we asked

19 the question about traffic lights were we told

20 it was just streetlights where the second grant

21 application included traffic lights and had

22 them listed.

23 Several of us asked about how

24 much -- what were the additional costs of Nay

25 Aug. And we got the complete entire Nay Aug
 59

 1 Pool Complex for engineering and estimate was a

 2 cost of 4 million dollars. I believe that we

 3 did know that.

 4 But with what we had applied for we

 5 wanted to know what the remainder was of that.

 6 So where would be at with this project if we

 7 got that grant funding? Is there still

 8 additional costs associated with that project?

 9 So if we could ask that one,

10 Mr. Voldenberg? After we get the grant funding

11 or if we are awarded that grant funding, what

12 is the additional cost that would be on top of

13 that?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. It was

16 also asked by the public was who is the

17 designated Deputy Mayor in the city, which we

18 know is Eileen Cipriani. She's the Deputy

19 Mayor and when the Mayor is out of town, who

20 makes decisions.

21 So it stated that in a rare event

22 the Mayor is ill per the City Code, the duty

23 falls on the Deputy Mayor. Fortunately due to

24 technology, the Mayor is readily available via

25 telephone.
 60

 1 And it provides Article 3, Section

 2 6.5 paragraph C of the City Code, the Deputy

 3 Mayor, the Mayor shall designate any department

 4 head or the City Clerk to act as Deputy Mayor

 5 when the Mayor cannot fulfill the duties due to

 6 illnesses or temporary absences from the city.

 7 So the answer that we have is it's

 8 Eileen Cipriani which we knew before. We did

 9 get a glimpse tonight at the plans for

10 downtown. When it comes to one-way streets

11 being converted to two-way streets and our

12 traffic lights being converted to stop signs,

13 there are several aspects of this that I really

14 like.

15 I really like that we're going to

16 sink our streetlights to have those pedestrian

17 leads. But there are also parts of this that I

18 do not like. I still have some questions.

19 We're going to have bumpouts now. So American

20 water does have basins where these bumpouts may

21 be.

22 How are we coordinating with

23 American Water to place these basins when we're

24 going to have the bumpouts at stop signs in

25 these areas?
 61

 1 We talked about the electronics on

 2 the stop signs. So there is going to be lights

 3 that are flashing. They are going to flash all

 4 around an intersection when somebody steps in a

 5 crosswalk. Are we going to maintain these?

 6 We talked about Nay Aug Park, about

 7 the maintenance at Nay Aug Park, millions of

 8 dollars were put into Nay Aug Park and we

 9 failed to maintain it over the years. Is this

10 going to be the same case?

11 When we come to this legislation

12 tonight, I am going to make a motion to table

13 this. I would like this to -- I would like to

14 have a discussion with the public. We have a

15 habit of approving these things too fast. And

16 when feedback comes in, it's after the thing

17 has been approved.

18 So I would like to get the public's

19 input on this before we move forward because it

20 is a large change for our downtown area. We've

21 gotten the same thing before. They said they

22 spoke with 62 businesses. I spoke to several

23 business people in the last few days.

24 They were not contacted. So if we

25 could get a list of city businesses, it was 62
 62

 1 city businesses. If we could just get that

 2 list. I'd like to know that.

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. The total

 5 cost of the project is 15 million dollars. And

 6 what we got tonight was 12.6 million. That's a

 7 large amount of money for this type of project.

 8 So, you know, before we move forward with it,

 9 I'd like all of our avenues explored. That's

10 all for tonight.

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

12 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

13 comments?

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have a few.

15 First off, I had received a response, something

16 I was checking in on regarding a broken pole on

17 Capouse Avenue that I received a complaint

18 about. And that's been there for some time.

19 So the update that I had received

20 from DPW was that they have been in contact

21 with the PPL. And they said that they can't

22 remove it until Frontier and Verizon both

23 remove their services from the broken pole.

24 And then they will take care of removing it.

25 So they have been in contact with Verizon. And
 63

 1 they're trying to get in touch with Frontier.

 2 So hopefully that happens quickly

 3 and they can take care of what they need to so

 4 that the pole could be removed. So that is the

 5 update on that. I did just want to bring up

 6 again Miss Norma Jeffries. And I'm really glad

 7 that we did the proclamation for her tonight.

 8 And I just appreciate her so much.

 9 She certainly is a role model for many people

10 out there. I've always appreciated her coming

11 to Council and just her congeniality, her

12 kindness, her honesty that she's displayed

13 here.

14 She's always been respectful as

15 well. And there's certain people who could

16 take a page out of her book and learn a lot

17 from her and how she conducts herself and then

18 just the amount that she devotes to the

19 community and that she's done that since --

20 since she returned to Scranton.

21 I really love that about her. And

22 we will miss her once she moves down to

23 Philadelphia. And then lastly, just wanted to

24 bring up there was a speaker -- this is I think

25 the second time at least that it's been brought
 64

 1 up and comparing LGBTQ people to like the

 2 murder of Charlie Kirk and I don't know what

 3 the sexual orientation was of the murderer.

 4 I don't think it has anything to do

 5 with that. And I think it's irresponsible and

 6 disgraceful to even make that comparison or

 7 bring that up and then to bring up the LGBTQ

 8 Pride Flag on top of it. I'm not really seeing

 9 where that comes in.

10 But, I mean, I'm proud to be part of

11 that community. And when we do have the flag

12 up or even the people who made temporary chalk

13 rainbow crosswalks over the weekend for

14 National Coming Out Day, I think that's a

15 really beautiful, positive thing.

16 And I also don't appreciate the use

17 of the word queer in a derogatory fashion.

18 Queer is a word that the LGBTQ community took

19 back a number of years ago. And it's something

20 that in the past has been used in a derogatory

21 way.

22 But I think we made a really

23 positive way for our community to describe the

24 queer community or queer individuals or to

25 identify as queer which is different from using
 65

 1 it with negative connotations to describe a

 2 queer as in a noun like we're less than. So I

 3 really don't appreciate that.

 4 And I feel that does go against our

 5 Council rules once again of using derogatory

 6 language in chambers and attacking people. So,

 7 you know, I just request that speakers in the

 8 future avoid that. That's all that I have.

 9 Thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

11 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

12 motions or comments?

13 MR. MCANDREW: I got a couple. I

14 definitely want to applaud Norma, her devotion

15 to the city, her great sense of humor, and her

16 great sense of community. I'm definitely going

17 miss her. I always liked engaging her with all

18 the events she did at Nay Aug, especially the

19 food drives. They're always fun.

20 So definitely going to miss her.

21 All right. So next, also brought to my

22 attention is potholes that need to be fixed on

23 the 700 block of Cherry and the 725 Factory

24 Place. Also, the same resident brought to my

25 attention that there's a handicap sign no
 66

 1 longer needed at 726 Cherry Street.

 2 I don't know what the process is on

 3 removal and why and how. I believe there is

 4 one. If you could have that -- if you could

 5 send that over to that -- that's probably the

 6 police department to take a look at it.

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 8 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. And more than

 9 once, probably two to three times this year I

10 brought up the need for the turning lanes on

11 Meridian and Luzerne and Railroad and Luzerne

12 to be painted. I know they said there --

13 there's plans to do that. But I was just

14 reminded that they haven't been done. So it's

15 been a couple of months.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct.

17 One is for part of the pave project, but the

18 other one is. So I'll follow up on the one

19 that -- right away.

20 MR. MCANDREW: All right. So we're

21 waiting for paving for them. That's fine. But

22 the other -- okay. Thank you very much. And

23 that's -- the other situation with the Parallel

24 Street, that was brought to your attention

25 today or your office.
 67

 1 And you sent out on a 311 and also

 2 the administration were notified. All right.

 3 So I'm happy to report that out to the

 4 gentleman who called me about it. That's all I

 5 have. Thanks.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thanks, Mr. McAndrew. I

 7 have just a few things. Pool covers for all of

 8 the new pools are being installed. I believe

 9 they have three in right now. And they are all

10 new. So they are being trained how to put

11 those on.

12 So I believe the last two would be

13 Weston Field and then Nay Aug will be put on

14 last. But we do have covers and they will be

15 putting them on. Another thing Mr. Schuster

16 had told you about, the Lookout with the

17 telescope up there, that's paid for.

18 I just want to thank them. It's the

19 only reason I'm bringing it up is the

20 Architecture Heritage Association, they pay

21 $500 every year to keep that machine free for

22 the public. So we don't -- you don't have to

23 put a quarter in to look through it. So the

24 Architectural Heritage Association, thank you

25 for paying that. Please take that out of here.
 68

 1 And also, if you were on Keyser

 2 Avenue and up by Ferdinand Street, you'll see

 3 that Ferdinand Street has been milled and is

 4 going to be paved this week. That wasn't on

 5 the paving list. But it was one of the worst

 6 streets in the city.

 7 And we are going to be doing Adams

 8 Avenue. But Adams Avenue has to be cut one

 9 foot on each side to extend it to make it

10 wider. I don't know the reasoning for it. But

11 I didn't see any reason to pave that street and

12 go back next year and cut it again.

13 So they moved the -- the city moved

14 the money to Ferdinand Street because it was in

15 really bad condition. So I know they just

16 traded that money for the one for Adams Avenue

17 up to Ferdinand Street. So that one is being

18 done.

19 I believe -- oh, political signs. I

20 was called by the newspaper and they want to

21 know our policy on political signs. The same

22 as it was last time, private property, nowhere

23 else basically. Keep them out of our parks

24 because they have been putting them in the

25 park. They put them in the Nay Aug Park. I
 69

 1 don't understand that. But any right-of-way,

 2 state property, Harrison Avenue, for some

 3 reason they like that little park up there.

 4 But they are going to be removed

 5 again. And they will be kept at Weston Field.

 6 If your signs are gone, go to Weston Field and

 7 they'll give them back to you. That's it.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Can I say one more?

 9 When it comes to Ferdinand Street, they paved

10 it from the top down. But they've stopped

11 short of the intersection with Keyser Avenue.

12 Can we find out if they are looking into the

13 basins there and how much -- maybe what the

14 capacity is on the basins there before they

15 finish that project and what their plans are on

16 those basins at the bottom of Keyser?

17 Because it does get -- there is a

18 high amount of water that comes down Ferdinand

19 Street. I mean, it's quite an angle there.

20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

21 it.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

23 very much. And then there was some holes over

24 on Pittston Avenue and Pear. Did we ever hear

25 anything about those?
 70

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have to follow

 2 up. I don't have the latest report.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

 4 you. Oh, sorry, Norma Jeffries, very happy

 5 that we made a proclamation to Norma Jeffries.

 6 With the presentation that we got tonight, my

 7 mind was on that.

 8 But I'm really going to miss Norma.

 9 She is a joy to have here in Council Chambers

10 and I like to see her when she comes in. And

11 the weeks she's not here, I do miss her. So

12 good luck with her family. I'm glad she's

13 going to be spending time with her family and

14 her grandchildren and we wish her luck.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

17 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - INSTALLING

18 ALL-WAY STOPS IN CERTAIN DOWNTOWN INTERSECTIONS

19 FOR ADDED PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

20 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

21 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced

22 into its proper committee.

23 MR. KING: So moved.

24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

25 MR. SMURL: On the question?
 71

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'd

 2 like to make a motion to table this. Let's

 3 just hold this up somewhat so we could hear

 4 public input. This is the first the public is

 5 hearing about these projects.

 6 And I would like to give them an

 7 opportunity to come into Council Chambers,

 8 email us, call us, however they would like to

 9 give their input. But if we could get as much

10 public input on this as possible, I would like

11 to catch that information.

12 MR. MCANDREW: Second.

13 MR. SMURL: I have a motion and a

14 second. So I guess we will do a roll call

15 on --

16 MR. KING: On that motion, it was

17 said that no one spoke to downtown residents.

18 And Wayne Evans who is the former Mayor of the

19 city lives downtown. It's my understanding

20 that a lot of people were spoken to downtown

21 along with businesses and the Blind Association

22 and I believe Keith Williams and his group. I

23 can't think of the name of it off the top of my

24 head --

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Center for
 72

 1 Independent Living.

 2 MR. KING: Yeah, Center for

 3 Independent Living. Thank you very much. So I

 4 would like to see this introduced this evening.

 5 We're going to have them come back in again.

 6 We'll have opportunities again next week to

 7 learn more about the project and ask. And

 8 that's where I stand.

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

10 So we will do a roll call on tabling 5-B.

11 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King.

12 MR. KING: No.

13 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.

15 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: No.

17 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew.

18 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.

19 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl.

20 MR. SMURL: No. Motion fails. So

21 we will now -- all those in favor of

22 introduction of 5-B --

23 MR. MCANDREW: No, on the question.

24 MR. SMURL: On the question again?

25 MR. MCANDREW: Well, I'd like the
 73

 1 opportunity because it didn't -- we weren't

 2 able to table it.

 3 MR. SMURL: Okay.

 4 MR. MCANDREW: So on the original

 5 motion, first of all, I mean, okay, so this

 6 streetscape project I like it. And guess what,

 7 it's -- if something doesn't happen -- unless

 8 you have a pandemic to get all of this type of

 9 money.

10 We're going to do some cool things.

11 Do I like the facade enhancement, yes. Do I

12 like the stormwater improvement and --

13 definitely because that's an issue. Do I like

14 the increased lighting near the Radison and

15 some of it -- period lighting I think they

16 said.

17 Do I like the curbs widen, the

18 bumpouts, yeah. Are they safer? I agree. And

19 also, new sidewalks. Do I like all of that,

20 yes. Do I like changing stop signs -- changing

21 streetlights to four way stops, no. Like most

22 of it, don't like this.

23 And, you know what, I've heard from

24 people that don't like this. So what I always

25 say, I believe some of the best ideas and
 74

 1 solutions come from our residents and not

 2 always costly studies that rarely utilize a

 3 more common sense decisionmaking approach.

 4 So, okay, so supposedly we got the

 5 blessing of the Blind Association and Center

 6 For Independent Living and that's great. But I

 7 don't think that the four-way stop signs that

 8 are all blinking and then another blinking sign

 9 above it isn't going to distract drivers that

10 are mostly distracted to begin with, especially

11 with the advent of the cell phone we get every

12 day. There's a law passed. That's for a

13 reason.

14 So also, okay, so the Blind

15 Association or the vision impaired association

16 still have to have some type of buy-in. But we

17 didn't get the full explanation. We got some

18 of it. But what about people in wheelchairs,

19 on crutches or elderly citizens? Stop signs

20 create unsafe pressure to move quickly,

21 especially when drivers roll through instead of

22 stopping.

23 I have been driving and walking

24 downtown for at least 50 years and have always

25 all been able to navigate without any issue. I
 75

 1 see no rationale -- I mean, this is just my

 2 opinion that makes sense for this proposed

 3 change.

 4 You know, sometimes I'm of the old

 5 school if it ain't broke, why fix it. And

 6 that's where I am with this. So another reason

 7 is compliance with stop signs -- it's

 8 inconsistent. Too often drivers treat them as

 9 optional.

10 This creates uncertainty and

11 confusion, especially for pedestrians can't

12 rely on visual cues to judge when it's safe to

13 cross. Traffic lights by contrast provide a

14 clear enforceable command for vehicles to stop.

15 Replacing lights with stop signs is

16 not just inconvenient, I think it's dangerous.

17 And again, with all them new flashing -- four

18 flashing one on top, all of these lights, you

19 know, rolling through a stop sign instead of

20 coming to a full halt can lead to collision.

21 So I think that is more than likely

22 going to happen with all of these flashing

23 lights. They're a distraction. Confusing

24 right-of-way leads to hesitation and dangerous

25 assumption.
 76

 1 So what I mean by that, whoever gets

 2 there first, it's going to be confusing. What

 3 if two cars get to the four ways at the same

 4 time, then it's confusing trying to -- who goes

 5 first. Right, so I just like the certainty of

 6 a traffic light. This is my opinion.

 7 Like I said, I like most of this

 8 streetscapes project because we need it. But

 9 this piece I don't -- I don't agree with.

10 MR. KING: On the question, I feel

11 as though the red lights downtown in many

12 instances -- I mean, human nature is you're

13 going fly to try to get through the yellow

14 light. People fly through town to try to get

15 the next green light.

16 They're speeding. They're going

17 much faster. And I'm guilty myself. I'll tell

18 you right now, I go to Clarks Summit quite a

19 bit. And the way I get there, I go flying

20 right down Spruce Street. It's the quickest

21 way for me.

22 Once the stop signs go in, I

23 probably won't drive that way to Clarks Summit

24 I'll be perfectly honest because it's going to

25 slow traffic down. Stop signs aren't -- there
 77

 1 is no question whether it's red, whether it's

 2 yellow, whether it's green. It's red all the

 3 time.

 4 It's going to -- you are forced to

 5 have to stop. I just -- I think it's a better

 6 option. So that's why I'm supporting it.

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

 8 Anyone else on the question?

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question,

10 I'll vote to introduce this tonight. I still

11 have additional questions. I hope to meet with

12 some of the administration and with Tom Reilly

13 over the course of the week to be able to ask

14 those as well as having them here next week.

15 I get the concerns from the side of

16 people who would not want to see the traffic

17 lights changed to stop signs. But then, you

18 know, I also understand that there are still a

19 lot of collisions and a lot of accidents with

20 pedestrians even with the traffic lights.

21 And I know one of the speakers

22 during public comment had brought up earlier

23 that they felt like it was a negative with what

24 was done on Mulberry Street over near the

25 University of Scranton. And I don't really see
 78

 1 where they're coming from because I think

 2 that's -- that's -- they've had a reduction in

 3 pedestrian related accidents because of having

 4 those additions.

 5 They did those things to make it

 6 safer for the students and pedestrians crossing

 7 Mulberry Street. And I know if I do want to

 8 get down to downtown quicker because I live up

 9 on the Hill, then I might avoid Mulberry Street

10 and cross over Harrison and go down Moosic

11 instead.

12 But when you do go down Mulberry it

13 does -- as soon as you see those flashing

14 lights, I stop even before I see a student

15 because I know that someone has hit that so

16 that they could cross the street. So I think

17 it is helpful and beneficial what they've added

18 there on Mulberry Street mostly.

19 And I could see things like that

20 being incorporated throughout downtown for

21 intersections that do have stop signs working

22 well there too and slowing down the speed of

23 traffic which is what a lot of this is meant to

24 do so to slow down the speed of traffic within

25 downtown.
 79

 1 But I get that it would be a big

 2 learning curve. I would want it to be really

 3 well thought out -- these changes so as to

 4 limit confusion as much as possible. I know it

 5 would even take me some time to get used to a

 6 street that I know as being one way to two way

 7 and -- but this is meant to make it easier to

 8 get around downtown and safer for everyone.

 9 So these are some of the reasons why

10 I'm in favor of introducing it tonight. Thank

11 you.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

13 I guess I will chime in like everyone else.

14 I have been dealing with this for at least two

15 years from when it first started. And it has

16 never gone away. There's been continuous

17 meetings with it.

18 I've actually met with the Secretary

19 of Transportation of Pennsylvania and discussed

20 this in great detail, many hours spent on this,

21 not only on traffic lights but to calm traffic.

22 In the early and the late 60s, downtown was

23 redesigned with the traffic lights.

24 But at that time we had new bridges

25 going in from the expressway and it was
 80

 1 designed to move traffic. That's what its

 2 design was. That's what it still is. That is

 3 why we don't need it downtown. We've got to

 4 calm traffic.

 5 I know Chief Carroll has the

 6 statistics on how many accidents there were.

 7 And this year alone I believe from even the

 8 first few months this year it's like 200 and

 9 some accidents downtown so far this year and

10 all at intersections with traffic lights.

11 I believe this is going in the right

12 direction. I have not -- I've seen some

13 studies that say traffic lights are not safe.

14 But you have to provide the documentation to

15 prove that.

16 So -- but I haven't stopped working

17 on this in two years. It's not been an

18 everyday thing. But there is a lot more

19 information. And that is why I suggested they

20 come back next week to continue on this because

21 there is a lot more information and everybody

22 should hear it. So that is why I wanted to

23 move forward. All those in favor of

24 introduction signify by saying aye.

25 MR. KING: Aye.
 81

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

 2 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed?

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: No.

 4 MR. MCANDREW: No.

 5 MR. SMURL: The ayes have it and so

 6 moved.

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-C. FOR

 8 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING THE

 9 CONVERSION OF CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN

10 FROM ONE-WAY STREETS TO TWO-WAY STREETS AND

11 FROM TWO-WAY TO ONE-WAY STREETS AS OUTLINES AND

12 SPECIFIED HEREIN.

13 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

14 entertain a motion that Item 5-C be introduced

15 into its proper committee.

16 MR. KING: So moved.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

18 MR. SMURL: On the question?

19 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'm

20 also going to propose the same thing here. I'm

21 going to make a motion to table. Again, it's

22 not to per se stop this project. It's to hear

23 the public out and to be able to gain more

24 information before we move forward with this.

25 We're changing the whole downtown. I think
 82

 1 it's a pretty big deal.

 2 MR. MCANDREW: I'll second.

 3 MR. SMURL: Okay. We have a motion

 4 and second. On the question?

 5 MR. KING: On the question, I think

 6 each one of us was -- were invited to meet with

 7 the City Engineer and the Mayor and Eileen

 8 Cipriani to come in and spend some time and

 9 look at the plan and ask questions.

10 And I know that I came in and did

11 that and asked a lot of questions and took a

12 lot of time to really listen and ask questions

13 and spend time even before I got to see this

14 this evening. So I don't know if everybody

15 else took advantage of that, but I did. And

16 that's why I feel strongly about this.

17 MR. SMURL: Anyone else on the

18 question?

19 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I didn't have

20 the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Cipriani and

21 the team because the e-mail that everyone else

22 seemed to get in a timely manner, mine came

23 four days later and in the middle of the three

24 days that she requested to meet.

25 I did e-mail her and told her that
 83

 1 and said, you know what, I might as well wait

 2 because you're coming to caucus. And then I

 3 said, you know, of course, you know, if need

 4 be, I could always schedule something at a

 5 later date and she responded okay.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: So I also reached out

 7 to Eileen Cipriani and the date I was given was

 8 today. It happened to be today before this

 9 meeting and I was not able to meet today. So I

10 listened to it in public. And I may meet with

11 her in the future.

12 But at this point in time I've heard

13 the presentation in public. And I do believe

14 that the public does need to hear the

15 information as well. So I don't understand why

16 presenting it in public to everyone at the same

17 time is a bad thing.

18 MR. SMURL: Anyone else on the

19 question? All right. We will do a roll call

20 on tabling 5-C.

21 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. King.

22 MR. KING: No.

23 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Schuster.

24 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.

25 MS. HERBSTER: Dr. Rothchild.
 84

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: No.

 2 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. McAndrew.

 3 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.

 4 MS. HERBSTER: Mr. Smurl.

 5 MR. SMURL: No. So motion fails.

 6 So we will -- on the question? Anybody else

 7 want --

 8 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. So like I

 9 said, I like some pieces of it. I would like

10 to table this to get a better explanation. But

11 you know, what I heard tonight and the

12 rationale for this piece, I might be okay with.

13 So I will at least vote to move this tonight

14 only because, you know, I heard from the Fire

15 Chief.

16 He said this will increase response

17 times. But in the same breath before he left,

18 I said, okay, I could buy into that. And I

19 also -- but I said, what about four way stops?

20 That has -- don't tell me that has -- increases

21 response time. Because guess what, when a fire

22 truck comes you stop. If it's at a stop sign

23 or light you don't move.

24 All right. So with that said, I'll

25 push -- I'll move this one because of he said
 85

 1 it increases response time. And also another

 2 issue that I asked Mrs. Cipriani right before

 3 she left because I had more questions. I just

 4 didn't get the opportunity to ask them.

 5 I said, okay, because we heard from

 6 some of the merchants downtown changing these

 7 one ways to two ways. How would that affect a

 8 delivery, you know, say if I own a restaurant

 9 and all of a sudden where I used to be able to

10 double park or whatever.

11 So she said that all the businesses

12 are fine with it. So I'll take her at her word

13 for now and I'll move this piece. Like I said,

14 I like most of this, but four ways I'm just not

15 bending on that.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I

17 don't find it necessary to -- well, I didn't

18 find it necessary to table this as well as the

19 other piece. I think that we should keep it

20 moving.

21 And I'll vote to introduce it

22 tonight because we are still doing our due

23 diligence listening to the public and bringing

24 them in again next week for additional

25 questions.
 86

 1 And I think that the rationale

 2 behind changing the direction of a lot of the

 3 streets makes a lot of sense. So I am in favor

 4 of this. Plaintiff Exhibit -- and the -- there

 5 is one other thing I was going to mention but I

 6 can't think of it. Okay. I'm good. Thank

 7 you.

 8 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you.

 9 MR. SCHUSTER: So also on the

10 question again, it's my not my goal to stop

11 this per se, but to give it some time as

12 tonight is the first time the public is hearing

13 this information.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: My apologies. The

15 one other point that I do want to make was the

16 sense of urgency behind the use of ARPA dollars

17 for the completion of these projects that they

18 did say that within less than a year, so

19 September of next year, they need to be

20 utilized by.

21 So that is part of the other reason

22 that I don't want to hold up the process longer

23 or table it and then not see it moved back on

24 quickly because of that.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: And I think there may
 87

 1 be some time with our -- how many times we're

 2 going to read it maybe to table it in the

 3 future. But as I said, we do have a habit of

 4 passing things and then the feedback from the

 5 public comes in after the legislation has

 6 passed and we didn't cover all of our bases.

 7 So that is our goal here is to just cover all

 8 of our bases before we move forward.

 9 MR. SMURL: All right. Thank you.

10 All those in favor of introduction signify by

11 saying aye.

12 MR. KING: Aye.

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

14 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

15 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed?

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

17 MR. SMURL: The ayes have it and so

18 moved.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-D. FOR

20 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - ESTABLISHING "NO

21 PARKING." ZONES FOR PORTIONS OF CERTAIN

22 ROADWAYS TO CONFORM TO STATE REGULATIONS AND TO

23 IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

24 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

25 entertain a motion that Item 5-D be introduced
 88

 1 into its proper committee.

 2 MR. KING: So moved.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

 4 MR. SMURL: On the question?

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I'm

 6 not going to continue with the same thing I've

 7 done. We'll pass this forward. But there will

 8 be some other opportunities as we move forward

 9 to talk about all of this.

10 MR. SMURL: All those in favor of

11 introduction, signify by saying aye.

12 MR. KING: Aye.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

15 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

16 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

17 have it and so moved from many jury room.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-E. FOR

19 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE

20 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO

21 EXECUTE AND SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION BY THE

22 OFFICE OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OF

23 THE CITY OF SCRANTON TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF

24 PENNSYLVANIA ACTING THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH

25 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR A LOCAL SHARE ACCOUNT
 89

 1 (STATEWIDE) GRANT, FOR UP TO $198,170.00 TO BE

 2 USED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A MODULAR VEHICLE

 3 BARRIER TRAILER SYSTEM.

 4 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

 5 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced

 6 into its proper committee.

 7 MR. MCANDREW: So moved.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

 9 MR. SMURL: On the question? On the

10 question, this is -- in case anybody doesn't

11 know, we have parades and stuff. This vehicle

12 will actually drop all of the horses and all of

13 that stuff and the barriers for that.

14 So it just makes it a lot easier

15 than having police going back and forth and

16 continue picking them up. So all those in

17 favor of introduction signify by saying aye.

18 MR. KING: Aye.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

22 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

23 have it and so moved.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: SIXTH ORDER. No

25 business at this time. SEVENTH ORDER.
