 3 MR. SMURL: Please remain standing

 4 for a moment of silent reflection for our

 5 service men and women throughout the world and

 6 for those who have passed away in our

 7 community, especially Gerard McNally and Robert

 8 Roach. Thank you.

 9 Before we do roll call this evening,

10 we have changed our meeting from Tuesday

11 evening because of Election Day. And to be

12 fair to everyone else, we moved it to Thursday.

13 But because of that, two Council members were

14 unable to attend.

15 Mr. McAndrew tonight is at his

16 senior -- CTC Senior Award and graduation

17 ceremony at school. So naturally, I wish them

18 well there. And, you know, that's his senior

19 so he should be there.

20 And Mr. King already had a previous

21 engagement. So they are excused from this

22 meeting. So roll call, please.

23 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King. Mr.

24 Schuster.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Present.

 4 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

 5 on any of the Third Order items?

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: My only comment on is

 7 on 3-A. So I'm glad to see that both sides,

 8 the city and the fire department have signed

 9 the MOA regarding the residency. This was

10 rushed before us before our August -- our

11 recess.

12 And it took quite some time to get

13 it done but I'm glad to see it's been completed

14 and signed by both sides.

15 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? If not,

16 received and filed. Do any Council members

17 have any announcements at this time?

18 MR. SCHUSTER: I have an

19 announcement. Both DPW and City Hall will be

20 closed Monday, the 26th for observance of

21 Memorial Day. So both trash and recycling will

22 be one day behind.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, and just on

24 this Memorial Day weekend, I encourage everyone

25 to take some time to remember all of those
 6

 1 fallen heros and those who have died for our

 2 country. So that's all I have. Thank you.

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 5 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

 6 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.

 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

 8 Scranton. First, I would like to congratulate

 9 all the candidates for Scranton City Council.

10 I see Sean McAndrew is in the back; Patrick

11 Flynn; Tom Schuster, of course, is already

12 seated and Marc Pane.

13 And I'm looking forward to a very

14 spirited clean political fight. We shall see.

15 Tomorrow night, 5 to 8 p.m., is Swingin on

16 Vine, our library fundraiser. Now, it's

17 probably going to have some rain.

18 But don't let that deter you from

19 coming because they're bringing in multiple

20 tents. And it's going to kind of pave over

21 Vine Street. So you will be able to enjoy food

22 and dancing. And the band is Picture Perfect.

23 And we're also, you know, have all

24 the desserts and raffle baskets are on the

25 first floor of the library itself. And on the
 7

 1 second floor, we'll open up the Hinkleman Room.

 2 So if you'd like to sit and dine

 3 there and listen to the band from the second

 4 floor, you could do that too. We're expecting

 5 some rain, but I don't think it's going to be a

 6 catastrophe. So come and enjoy a night on the

 7 town.

 8 I too saw the residency requirement

 9 for the firefighters and I was happy. I'm

10 curious though, do we have to do a similar MOU

11 or MOA with DPW and the Clerical Union?

12 MR. SMURL: Well, I believe they

13 will do it because even though that ordinance

14 does not exist in the City of Scranton, it does

15 exist in their contracts.

16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. So hopefully

17 as each contract comes up, like, we're in the

18 process of negotiating DPW right now.

19 MR. SMURL: So it may not even be

20 included in that.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, hopefully

22 that's going to correct itself. Speaking of

23 DPW's contract, I looked at the Controller's

24 Report for April and under HR professional

25 services, Mr. Ufberg got another $24,000. I'm
 8

 1 sure that's for his services as a labor

 2 counsel.

 3 But something I did not understand

 4 under the Business Administration's office

 5 professional services, apparently we paid the

 6 US Department of Revenue $47,799.37. What was

 7 that for?

 8 MR. SMURL: I don't know what that

 9 was for. I will find out.

10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Tom, did you notice

11 that?

12 MR. SCHUSTER: What was it again?

13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Your microphone.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: What was it again?

15 Can you repeat that?

16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Under professional

17 services under the BA's office, we paid the US

18 Department of Revenue $47,799.37.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: I did see it. But

20 we'll have to inquire about it.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, please do. I

22 don't recall seeing in prior Controller reports

23 paying, you know, the Treasury Department

24 anything; but who knows. The contract with

25 Kathleen Thomas for delinquent Business
 9

 1 Privilege and Mercantile Taxes, is that ever

 2 going to end because it says that, you know,

 3 you could do a one-year extension ad infinitum.

 4 Is there a point where we simply give up

 5 collecting those delinquent taxes?

 6 MR. SMURL: Joan, I don't know

 7 exactly how many are left.

 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, you know, I

 9 mean, that's a little side gig, you know.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Joan, I did plan on

11 asking for an update with that tonight as well.

12 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Thank you.

13 And finally, this preserving the federal tax

14 exemption on municipal bonds, I was certainly

15 surprised to see that. Why would we want to

16 shoot ourselves in the foot by making it

17 difficult or discouraging people from buying

18 munies?

19 Apparently it's going to save the

20 country 823 billion. But it's going to cost

21 each household and business $6,500. Is this

22 another Elon Musk initiative? I don't know. I

23 mean, munies -- munies are a great thing

24 because it supports cities.

25 And it's a tax break for the people
 10

 1 who invest in them. I just don't understand

 2 that logic. You know, I think it's penny wise

 3 and pound foolish. Thank you.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Angela

 5 Ramone.

 6 MS. RAMONE: Hello, it's good to see

 7 you all again, just double-checking that my mic

 8 is good, everyone can hear me. Thank you. I'd

 9 like to change course a little bit from the

10 usual things that I talk about tonight and talk

11 a little bit about immigration.

12 As someone who throughout my entire

13 life have been friends, neighbors, coworkers

14 with immigrants who have greatly enriched my

15 life, I would like to talk a bit about the City

16 of Scranton and the potential for us to have

17 contracts with ICE.

18 Over the past several months what

19 we've seen with the actions of ICE as an

20 agency, they have been consistently and

21 blatantly violating people's rights of due

22 process.

23 And I firmly believe that for me

24 like as an American citizen, I believe that

25 every single person on American soil deserves
 11

 1 due process when they are accused of a crime.

 2 And I believe that it is very important for the

 3 safety of everybody including civilians and law

 4 enforcement that there is a mutual

 5 understanding that if someone is accused of a

 6 crime, like, if I'm accused of a crime, for

 7 example, that I understand that if I'm falsely

 8 accused I will show up before a judge, before a

 9 jury and I will prove my innocence, right?

10 If there's a breakdown of that trust

11 where someone is accused of a crime and they

12 just get whisked off, sent off to a country

13 that maybe never even been to before, right,

14 no trial, no hearings, nothing like that.

15 There's no trust in that process.

16 And it presents a massive, massive danger both

17 to the public at large as well as to law

18 enforcement. I know that last year an officer

19 of the Scranton Police Department was shot and

20 killed.

21 And I don't want to see anything

22 like that happen again in the City of Scranton,

23 especially not anytime soon. And I believe in

24 order to prevent things like that from

25 happening in the future, we need to make sure
 12

 1 that the public knows that when they encounter

 2 law enforcement in the city that their rights

 3 will be respected even for those who have

 4 committed crimes that they will show up before

 5 a judge.

 6 They will have their day in court.

 7 And they will get a fair trial. And I believe

 8 that the City of Scranton cooperating with ICE

 9 at this point in time is something that would

10 break down that trust and make every single

11 person in this city fear for their safety and

12 fear for their rights.

13 When ICE is conducting operations,

14 arresting people outside of courthouses,

15 outside of hospitals, schools, no one is going

16 to feel safe in these places. Think about

17 people who are immigrants here legal or not who

18 for many reasons might have to go to the

19 hospital.

20 They might have to show up to a

21 courthouse for ordinary business. They are

22 arresting people and detaining people who are

23 showing up to immigration hearings as part of

24 their normal legal process of having legal

25 residency in the United States.
 13

 1 And when that happens, right, other

 2 immigrants who are here legally are going to

 3 see this and think if I show up to my hearings

 4 if I show up and try to do things by the book,

 5 do things correctly, ICE might show up and

 6 strip me away from my family, right?

 7 And we don't want that to happen, of

 8 course. So I will say when it comes to the

 9 City of Scranton until we have full confidence

10 that ICE as a federal agency is going to

11 respect people's rights to due process, we

12 should not cooperate with them.

13 We should not allow them to operate

14 in our city and we should not allow them to

15 break down the trust between law and

16 enforcement in our city and the public which

17 has been a very, very long fight to achieve.

18 So that's all I have to say about that.

19 But I will also like to add on, last

20 week I had spoken about SB9 and how it's a bill

21 that would significantly impact people's rights

22 to privacy and especially children's ability to

23 participate in things like sports and other

24 events and especially transchildren.

25 But I did not -- I only heard a
 14

 1 comment from Dr. Rothchild. And I would

 2 appreciate to hear from the rest of the board

 3 about your thoughts on SB9 and protecting our

 4 queer youth here in Scranton. Thank you very

 5 much.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Chris

 7 Matthews.

 8 MR. MATTHEWS: Chris Matthews of

 9 Yesu. Last week I was visited by the engineer,

10 Director of DPW and Scott Teaman on my property

11 to discuss what I believe could potentially be

12 a major issue, yet nothing was discussed

13 whatsoever about underground water erosion.

14 My theory and all the evidence I had

15 to prove my theory was completely ignored.

16 Instead, Director Scott decided to tell me how

17 plants work. He even had the audacity to tell

18 me rain falls from the sky and badger with me

19 how to properly maintain my home and perform

20 basic property management, something I was

21 doing probably before he even knew his ABCs to

22 the point where I needed to eject him off my

23 property.

24 Now, I believe this could be

25 potentially a huge issue because that water
 15

 1 coming out of the ground 800 feet away from my

 2 house that the city's stormwater study deemed

 3 as Mountain Lake runoff with a question mark,

 4 which was not even investigated afterwards.

 5 I believe this is where it stems

 6 from travelling through the entire development

 7 which back in the early 1900s it was the

 8 location of the Spunks Coal Company that pulled

 9 93,000 tons of coal out of that area.

10 Now, 2005, exactly 110 feet away

11 from where the water comes off the city street

12 and disappears into the ground, in 2005, an air

13 shaft to that mine that Robinson Park sits on

14 had to be filed with about 12 cubic yards of

15 concrete to fill.

16 And, I mean, Robinson Park sits on a

17 reclaimed mind. And together with the Mountain

18 Lake Coal Company, they pulled out 120,000

19 tons of coal out of that mountain. And you

20 want to roll the dice on underground water

21 erosion because the facts are there.

22 Someone made the executive decision

23 to leave out a 6 foot section of curb which is

24 the only type of water egress system in place

25 in that neighborhood, which is years of water
 16

 1 coming down going straight into the ground and

 2 eroding, which I said falls out to the -- where

 3 we believe Mountain Lake's runoff is.

 4 I mean, I'm not -- I'm not a problem

 5 here. I'm vigilant. I'm trying to identify a

 6 problem. And I'm being bullied and lied to by

 7 the city and the city workers because I'm

 8 trying to identify a problem.

 9 I'm not trying to swindle the city

10 out of money it doesn't have. I'm trying to

11 save the city money. I pay my taxes. I'm

12 good. I'm a pretty good citizen. I personally

13 take care of the woods in Robinson Park roughly

14 1600 feet digging those trenches, draining

15 those disgusting swamps that West Nile is

16 found almost every single year on my own time.

17 I'm not afraid to do work. I'm not

18 afraid to put in work. If I could handle this

19 myself, it would have been done. I wouldn't be

20 here. I wouldn't have the director and

21 engineers up there. I would have handled this.

22 But I can't do this by myself.

23 First of all, it's my neighbor's

24 property that continues to my property and

25 affects several other properties. And all I'm
 17

 1 asking is to be taken seriously. This is coal

 2 country. We're going to really play games with

 3 underground water erosion through what was once

 4 the Spunks Coal Company.

 5 And, I mean, it's just -- it's very,

 6 very frustrating that I'm not even taken

 7 seriously. I mean, any of you are more than

 8 welcome to come up to my house and have an

 9 intelligent and respectful conversation where I

10 will show the evidence and explain my theory.

11 And, I mean, the Mayor of Scranton

12 herself says public safety and infrastructure

13 are top priorities of hers. Her office has

14 been ignoring me for months, specifically

15 Isaiah Watson who of nine days ago assured me

16 that he is working diligently on providing me

17 the information was why the city is believes

18 made a determination that hydronic pressure is

19 naturally occurring on my property, something

20 that does not naturally occur anywhere else on

21 this planet.

22 Her office is well aware. And --

23 and I'm being completely ignored and lied to

24 also by her. And, I mean, it's kind of

25 ridiculous at this point. I need -- I need
 18

 1 someone to -- someone to actually take the time

 2 to investigate this and look at this.

 3 I mean, I will hire my own engineer.

 4 But, like, and I hope I'm wrong. I don't want

 5 to have I told you so moment. I don't want

 6 that. I don't want that to happen up there. I

 7 care about my community.

 8 I care about the people up there. I

 9 care about the city. Like I said, I want to

10 save money. The damage is already done.

11 Damage that I -- I've -- two years I'm trying

12 to -- this is affecting my quality of life,

13 something else that the Mayor claims is a top

14 priority of hers.

15 My quality of life, I can't enjoy my

16 back yard. I can't enjoy my house. I did go

17 out there and document -- they tried to tell me

18 this is the worst frost we've seen since 19 --

19 since 62 years. That's what the DPW is trying

20 to tell me.

21 DPW is also trying to convince me

22 that natural sediment is occurring in four

23 month period -- rapidly in a four month period

24 62 years after a structure has been built.

25 Like, this is -- and expect me to sit there and
 19

 1 take this? I'm not, no more. I'm not asking

 2 why anymore. I want action. Thank you.

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

 4 MR. ELLMAN: Yeah, Council, I'd like

 5 to congratulate all the people involved in this

 6 election because I've talked to some that

 7 worked so hard for their candidate.

 8 A couple weeks back I scolded y'all

 9 for not reading the handwriting on the wall.

10 Well, again it's happening. The data center's

11 need for extreme massive amounts of power will

12 result in construction by the electric

13 companies, the conglomerates.

14 That's going to result in increases

15 in our electric bill to pay for the -- these

16 lousy million dollar data centers. They're

17 full of money. It's still going to fall on the

18 taxpayers. It's just an endless circle that

19 always ends up raping the public.

20 Well, it's bad enough having solar

21 farms in the city, you could just imagine them

22 springing up all over the place. And after

23 reading today's paper, I think only a miracle

24 can save us from another four years of

25 Cognetti, people. She will devour -- like the
 20

 1 lions ate Christians in the form.

 2 I don't know how many of you go up

 3 and down Green Ridge where the new bridge is

 4 being constructed. Did anybody have an idea

 5 how much that bridge -- that temporary

 6 bridge -- temporary. It's not -- just meant

 7 for a short time. How much do you think that

 8 costs 2, 3 million, 5 million?

 9 Hey, try 20 million dollars wasted

10 on that bridge, 20 million dollars; 16 for

11 construction and of all things, 4 million

12 dollars for architects. If that's not a total

13 rape of the public, I don't know what you call

14 it, 4 million dollars to make a little simple

15 bridge over the river there.

16 That's -- be gone in a few years.

17 And that's without the demolition and buying up

18 property and their reclaiming it. It's just --

19 there isn't a reason in the world we couldn't

20 have detoured for a year or something like they

21 do all over the city.

22 Parker Street was detoured and it

23 was a -- I went way out of my way to go to the

24 park to feed the deer. It could have been a

25 short distance on Green Ridge, no, some kind of
 21

 1 crooked deal went on so they could build.

 2 And while I mention it, yesterday at

 3 that park on Parker Street, I saw a little baby

 4 deer. And I wish some of you people out there

 5 would bring some fruit and apples or something

 6 to start feeding these animals because they

 7 are -- I think a couple of them are gone

 8 already, the adults.

 9 We -- we -- Harrisburg took away

10 their habitat. There is no trees or nothing

11 anymore for them. I don't know how they

12 survived in the winter. I asked a couple

13 grocery stores if they'd give me soiled stuff.

14 Now, this is going back years. Nobody -- just

15 nobody seems to care about taxes.

16 Nobody seems to care about the other

17 fellow. Harrisburg doesn't care. There's

18 nobody to help seniors and low income people

19 with any kind of problems. We just look like

20 this is a forgotten area except Paige's

21 downtown. And those SOBs don't pay the taxes

22 they are supposed to.

23 Every one of them gets big breaks

24 like WNEP. It's a shame what's been allowed in

25 this city. And now we could look forward to
 22

 1 four more years of this woman. Thank you.

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

 3 That's it for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else

 4 wish to address Council?

 5 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka,

 6 first of all, congratulations to all on the

 7 Council who ere up for election who passed the

 8 first step. Congratulations on getting past

 9 that goalpost and good luck in the next step

10 and actually getting voted in in the final

11 election.

12 Back in Minooka, I've noticed a lot

13 of replacements of electric poles. Some got --

14 some got done just after the winter broke. But

15 I'm noticing more and more of them chopping off

16 the top of a pole and putting in a longer pole,

17 moving a wire over from one pole to the other,

18 not removing all of the others that are on

19 there, which I'm sure they call the other

20 utilities to move them and consolidate them.

21 Some poles have been done, some not.

22 But the dual poles still remain. I'm seeing

23 two poles right next to each other on a regular

24 basis at this point, including where they dug

25 in and put a hole in the ground leaving a
 23

 1 gigantic unfilled in divot of dirt where they

 2 dug in and didn't properly backfill and pack

 3 the area where they put the new poles in.

 4 I remember one point we were going

 5 out there and taking a look and saying when you

 6 put in a new pole, you have to move the wires

 7 over to the new pole. And once that's done,

 8 they have to remove the old one.

 9 Well, it seems that's not being done

10 because we're getting more and more of two

11 poles in one place when they put up a new one

12 and just leave the old one standing.

13 I reported to 311 -- actually the

14 app for potholes last year on off Oak and

15 Phinney Street, a pothole that was growing that

16 had been patched a year beforehand. Needless

17 to say, it hasn't been touched, hasn't been

18 patched or taken care of.

19 And it's about 2 foot wide by 2 foot

20 long by somewhere between, like, 8 and 10

21 inches deep. It's basically when I go over it

22 I have to straddle my wheels on either side of

23 the pothole not to actually go in it. It's on

24 a downward slope so it's not really visible to

25 people who would take a look at it and know
 24

 1 that's it there.

 2 And it's right above a sewer drain

 3 pipe, a manhole cover. But this is -- it's

 4 bigger than a car tire the entire area this

 5 pothole now consumes. It really needs to be

 6 taken care of. At least throw fill in there so

 7 that you don't have a gigantic 2 foot hole

 8 that's a good 7 to 8 inches deep.

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can you repeat the

10 intersection? You said Oak and what --

11 MR. COYNE: Oak Avenue and Phinney

12 Street back in Minooka. And it was reported on

13 the app and photos were taken care -- taken of

14 it to show where the location is. It's just

15 rather large.

16 I've looked at the building down

17 here where it said the paving -- the basement

18 is being undercut. They put a sign on it and

19 they reput up the condemned no trespassing sign

20 on the old law office, which I believe used to

21 be a music building down there.

22 That doesn't resolve the fact that

23 it probably has an underground -- underground

24 dig that goes underneath the sidewalk that the

25 building is no longer -- the front of it is no
 25

 1 longer structurally sound and attached actually

 2 to the foundation itself.

 3 And there is stress cracks that are

 4 running parallel to the ground, not horizontal

 5 as you usually see. We've seen a lot of

 6 buildings where the fascia's dropped off onto

 7 the public sidewalks. I address -- behind the

 8 fire department here, there is a 45 foot rain

 9 gutter that is 3 and a half stories up.

10 It is secured on both ends of the

11 building, but it is ripped off from the entire

12 length of the building and 45 foot metal rain

13 gutter that is probably going to eventually

14 fall down on cars and hopefully not someone.

15 But we don't get to those issues

16 until they actually collapse, then we actually

17 look at them and go out and evaluate it. And

18 last, the city charter, we get things wrong

19 with it. The two things that I have problem

20 with -- in it is that the charter has a pocket

21 veto in it.

22 Hence, if a pocket veto has a pocket

23 approval in it, which if something goes before

24 the Mayor's office and she does not sign it, it

25 automatically is approved which is opposite of
 26

 1 how the federal government works where a pocket

 2 veto kicks it out if it's not signed. And last

 3 thing is referendums.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 5 MR. COYNE: I'll touch back on that

 6 one next week. Thank you.

 7 MR. SMURL: Mr. Voldenberg, I

 8 believe Mr. McAndrew last week asked about that

 9 big gutter on the back of the building.

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was reported

11 the next day. That's the old Leonard Hardware

12 building. That was reported. I'll follow up.

13 MR. SMURL: -- or who has it, who

14 received it or who has it maybe so we could

15 find out.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

18 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council,

19 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxpayer

20 congratulations to the winners. And to the

21 people that didn't make it, condolences.

22 Hopefully we can all work together to improve

23 the town over the next four years, keep the

24 consternations and personal attacks down to a

25 minimum. They get tiring.
 27

 1 We don't have any 32 -- 32 felony

 2 criminals under this roof anyway, maybe

 3 somewhere else but not here. And I read about

 4 a new pothole and pave cut law -- ordinance

 5 being passed here. Is that the case hopefully?

 6 I'll have to look and see.

 7 But hopefully the pave cuts will be

 8 done right and they will be properly filled on

 9 the end with asphalt. That's where the water

10 gets in. And in two years, you have a mess.

11 And it's -- I'm seeing it all over. I'm seeing

12 it in Dunmore.

13 And maybe it will be 20 bucks for

14 the utility to fill it up properly. But when

15 it comes to us then two years down the road,

16 it's a mess. I remember that Mulberry Street

17 here just a couple years ago was being paved,

18 was it not? I mean, it's horrible. It's just

19 horrible. And it's all pave cuts.

20 You can seal a crack and dump a

21 little asphalt in it and fill it up. And

22 that's -- that works for a good long time. But

23 when they start digging and they just want to

24 pull out of town when they're done with what

25 they want to do and goodbye and your sewer bill
 28

 1 goes up and your water bill goes up, everything

 2 goes up, gas bill goes up.

 3 Mine's up about 150 bucks a month

 4 this winter. Somebody snuck a little on the

 5 poor girl's depending on insulin and it's not a

 6 lot of fun. But, you know, it really knocked

 7 the daylights out of our bill. And we have

 8 last night passed in Congress defunding

 9 Medicare or Medicaid.

10 And Medicare is subject to a

11 sequester from an old Trump area law. So get

12 ready. Actually if you voted for our friend in

13 Washington right now, your grandkids or your

14 son or son in law or daughter in law may lose

15 their coverage. And that will just have to be

16 too bad.

17 And if you are -- have secure

18 insurance and money to pay for it, keep in mind

19 it's going to keep going up because when the

20 hospitals don't get paid for emergency cases at

21 the ICU, they start to finagle it into the

22 insurance -- private insurance and raising

23 rates and raising rates.

24 And then you'll get a letter in the

25 mail that your rates are going up. And it
 29

 1 becomes less and less affordable every day.

 2 Ours have gone up from about 200 a month to 500

 3 a month for 20 percent insurance over the last

 4 couple years. So and that's just the 20

 5 percent.

 6 Foreign students were banned --

 7 there's an attempt to ban foreign students out

 8 of Harvard. And by the way, 52 billion dollars

 9 a year comes into universities from foreign

10 students. So think about it. And cyber

11 protection has been suspended.

12 I spent several hours last weekend

13 trying to make a payment on a credit card. You

14 know, calling up and just getting nowhere. I

15 don't know if they were hacked or what's going

16 on. But it's just going to get worse and

17 worse. And, you know, get ready.

18 I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if

19 not being elected is an asset because you're

20 going to be listening to a lot of grief for the

21 next several years if you are. Thank you.

22 Have a good night.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton

25 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Before
 30

 1 we talk about my qualifications as promised

 2 from last week and why I'm all in for mayor, I

 3 would like to congratulate all of you who made

 4 it through to the general election.

 5 Our local election year in Scranton

 6 had a very low turnout. I attribute this to

 7 the Council and the Mayor. It's not

 8 necessarily for the five of you, but when few

 9 little questions get answered, it makes the

10 good people of Scranton feel like they

11 shouldn't even bother. This is the way things

12 are in Scranton.

13 The extra set of doors does not help

14 either. Apparently the Mayor feels unsafe in

15 her own city. This is what our current climate

16 has come to. It does not have to be like this.

17 Change is coming to City Council. That will be

18 the same for the Mayor.

19 Tonight my qualifications, starts

20 with heart, the way you look at others. You

21 see the inside of anyone how they carry

22 themselves. The outside is just a shell. I

23 don't see parties. I see the good in people of

24 Scranton and they make a big difference.

25 I've seen a big difference compared
 31

 1 to five years ago when the Mayor took office.

 2 12 years of mortgage origination experience

 3 along with 16 years of debt collection

 4 experience.

 5 I greatly utilized this experience a

 6 lot in my 12 years as an advisor to the former

 7 late great Mayor, Jim Connors. That is the

 8 glass ceiling. Thank you, Jimmy.

 9 Look at our appearance. We have

10 witnessed our city change over the last five

11 decades. We compare this to the last five

12 years. Police calls have been alarming. Our

13 roads look the worst that they've ever -- that

14 I've ever seen. Mayor looks down on city and

15 employee unions and morale is at all time low.

16 She's made this expansion team

17 inaccessible with a locked extra set of doors.

18 She touts 155 million in grants with little to

19 be seen. Flynn versus the City of Scranton and

20 other costly lawsuits. She is using the good

21 people to compel herself towards a higher

22 office.

23 Four less deep end pools and not one

24 pool in the biggest part of our city, West

25 Scranton. Instead of asking where she really
 32

 1 lives, maybe we should be asking the question

 2 does she know how to swim?

 3 The general election is November

 4 4th, 165 days away. It does not have to be

 5 like this. We could do better. I know what

 6 our city used to look like. And I know that

 7 glass ceiling. As an advisor to Mayor Connors,

 8 I offered my input without hesitation, without

 9 a pat on the back was the right thing to do.

10 Three weeks after he took office,

11 his administration was tested. The city had

12 former responsibility for the Central Scranton

13 Expressway. The lights went out. Expensive to

14 fix it, was $110,000 to the lowest and most

15 responsibile bidder.

16 Thirty-five years ago it was quite

17 an expense. I received a call from the City

18 Treasurer, Tom Gallela asking if I had any

19 ideas. I suggested they give it to the state.

20 Two weeks later the lights were on and future

21 expenses maintaining that expressway were gone.

22 In return, I asked that the seven

23 pools remain open. They were. Now we have

24 splash pads and a Mayor who cannot swim. While

25 working for a collection agency, we were
 33

 1 responsible for all the delinquent city of

 2 Allentown accounts including trash fees.

 3 Once again, I stepped up and

 4 recommended to the Mayor that he reach out to

 5 the Mayor of Allentown. They met. And the

 6 trash fee was $74.18 just like Allentown.

 7 I also spearheaded the city and the

 8 county to place delinquent trash fees and taxes

 9 for collection. It went back to 1940.

10 Sometimes you need to make some tough choices.

11 He didn't raise taxes once in 12 years.

12 It starts with good people around

13 you. I'll bring a winning team that you all

14 know prior to the election. November will be

15 very critical with the election for the people.

16 They need to truly get out and vote.

17 There is no need to keep your head

18 down, except our current climate. Speak up.

19 Get out and vote. Let's flip the script. I

20 have my heart in the right place. I look at

21 people based upon how they carry themselves and

22 do the best that I can daily.

23 I've never given up on myself. My

24 faith teaches me that my son is watching. I

25 will always try to make him proud of me. I
 34

 1 will raise my right hand, swear as your 37th

 2 Mayor of the City of Scranton will keep my

 3 word.

 4 Change needs to be happening. And

 5 it starts with each one of you who truly care.

 6 Change is coming. Get out and vote. Good

 7 evening, Council.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 9 MS. CUSICK: Good evening, Council,

10 Amy Cusick, resident of the City of Scranton,

11 also President of Chris's Miracles From Heaven.

12 As you guys know, we have been maintaining the

13 Washburn Street Cemetery since June 15th of

14 last year. And that will continue on as far as

15 I am here.

16 I also just wanted to let you guys

17 know that we are planning a Memorial Day

18 service this Monday at 1 p.m. at the cemetery

19 in the veterans's section by the flag pole.

20 I'm very proud to announce that we have an E5

21 active duty Army Sergeant Charlie Blasi from

22 Olyphant.

23 He's going to be coming down as our

24 guest speaker. We also have the VFW 3421 out

25 of South Scranton that will be coming and
 35

 1 playing the taps as well as the 21 gun salute.

 2 Today while I was coming to Council,

 3 I drove past the cemetery and I noticed that

 4 the Boy Scouts Troop 50 from St. Ann's was

 5 there. And they were putting new flags on all

 6 of the veterans' graves. I just wanted to

 7 personally say thank you to them once again.

 8 Their promise to me was it's much

 9 easier to find the graves now that the grass is

10 low. I also just wanted to let you guys know

11 that I did send you guys an e-mail back on

12 March 24th. And I invited every single one of

13 you along with Mayor Cognetti to please come as

14 well to the Memorial Day service.

15 We will also be having a service in

16 September for the Avondale minors to pay

17 tribute to them. These are services that the

18 cemetery used to do years ago. And since it's

19 been abandoned and forgotten, so has those

20 services. But now they will come back into

21 play starting this year.

22 As a resident of Scranton, I just

23 wanted to also thank the Scranton Police

24 Department. As I was leaving my house I was

25 approached by two officers who informed me that
 36

 1 they will be walking the beat once again in

 2 West Scranton.

 3 I want to say that it is an honor to

 4 see them back out on the streets. West

 5 Scranton is tough. I've lived there for 20

 6 years now. The crime is increasing and it

 7 needs to stop. So that's all I have for you

 8 guys today. Thank you for your time.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

10 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, my name

11 is Rik Little. And I am running for Mayor of

12 Scranton in November as an Independent on a

13 mission from God party. You got to serve

14 somebody even in the so-called democracy.

15 Scranton must become a US

16 Constitutional and government. I've said this

17 a lot. And we need to gain good spirits in

18 this community to evict all of the demons of --

19 that the government controls that have

20 definitely presided over the last 40 years in

21 the area.

22 It's a combination of what happened

23 to Scranton and how it got lost in the county.

24 I'd like to talk about the county. The -- it's

25 the home rules, home rules of Scranton and home
 37

 1 rules of Lackawanna is definitely

 2 unconstitutional.

 3 But they run all the judicial things

 4 around here so none of them are going to

 5 declare it unconstitutional. The closed

 6 primary is a violation of the Pennsylvania

 7 Constitution Article 1, Section 5 and 25, which

 8 it states, "Elections shall be free and equal

 9 and no power civil or military shall at any

10 time interfere to prevent free exercise of the

11 right to suffrage.

12 Reservations of power in people to

13 guard against transgressions of the high powers

14 which we have delegated. We declare that

15 everything in this article is accepted out of

16 the general powers of government and shall

17 forever remain inviolate."

18 Lackawanna County should have --

19 Lackawanna County should have been -- had an

20 open special election to fill the open County

21 Commissioner seat and the Clerk of Court Common

22 Pleas seat which is there. There's too many

23 people running in the judiciary and in the

24 school board running as Democrats and

25 Republicans.
 38

 1 No one really knows what's going on

 2 because it's all coming through the available

 3 media, the Times-Tribune and everything and

 4 people are -- it's been going on for 40 years.

 5 People have no idea what, you know, if Bob

 6 Casey is Bob Casey or what's going on because

 7 they've been sold on one thing or another.

 8 It's the judiciary, the media, our

 9 local media WNEP, parent company ABC. I

10 learned long ago through one of the guys that

11 was on Bill Clinton's staff, George

12 Stephanopoulos and he gets out and he's a big

13 correspondent on ABC. And anyway, that's

14 what's going on.

15 And the school indoctrination isn't

16 doing any good because they just don't teach

17 civics of how things work. And I have high

18 hopes for generation X and a law student coming

19 around that passed the bar to make the

20 petitions and motions necessary to restore this

21 area back to a constitutional governance.

22 I'm a film director. That's -- I

23 have a master's degree in film. And as a film

24 director, it requires leadership qualities to

25 gather the affordable elements and people to
 39

 1 complete a project.

 2 Scranton's budget is 113 million

 3 dollars, you know. I've been looking at it and

 4 trying to figure it out. But it has to be --

 5 it has to be clear of what's going on because

 6 it's too much to take in and we need

 7 constitutional governance here.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 9 MR. LITTLE: Thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? Amy, are

11 you still back there? Your Memorial Day

12 ceremony, it's at the cemetery at 1 p.m.?

13 Okay. And I believe the one down at the

14 Memorial Stadium is at noon. So people may run

15 a bit late. That usually last about an hour,

16 so just to let you know that usually runs about

17 an hour, okay? Thanks. No one else?

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

19 Motions.

20 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you

21 have any motions or comments?

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

23 So I did get some complaints about 421 Campbell

24 Street. I went out there on several occasions

25 and met with the neighbors and just to give
 40

 1 them an update. Mr. Voldenberg got an e-mail

 2 today the city has brought this matter to the

 3 Court of Common Pleas. The city has taken this

 4 action in hopes of helping to resolve the

 5 matter quicker than waiting for a magistrate

 6 hearing, which would be scheduled for June.

 7 So there's a full hearing scheduled

 8 before Judge Powell on May 27th, 2025, over the

 9 issue at 421 Campbell Street. There was

10 something that was raised tonight about a mine

11 runoff on East Mountain.

12 Can we inquire whether the -- has

13 the city ever looked into water testing at

14 Mountain Lake and would they pursue water

15 testing?

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

17 questions, sir.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

19 Mr. McAndrew had asked a question last week

20 about recycling. And it's something I've asked

21 in the past too. He asked about an update on

22 the bid for the new recycling contract and the

23 answer that came back was that the city

24 currently negotiating with the selected

25 recycling vendor and legislation and the
 41

 1 contract will be sent to Council in the coming

 2 weeks. So that's somewhat of an update on our

 3 recycling status. Other than that, President

 4 Smurl, that's all.

 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Dr.

 6 Rothchild, do you have any motions or comments?

 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I have couple

 8 of them. First, I did receive a response I was

 9 asking last week about a meeting date for the

10 next unsheltered task force meeting. And

11 that's going to be held in June. I was

12 provided with an invite.

13 I don't think I'll be able to make

14 it due to my work schedule, but perhaps another

15 Council member will be able to go or we'll at

16 least get a report back from the Mayor on that

17 meeting and be able to provide that to the

18 public.

19 I had submitted some information on

20 potholes located on the 800 block of Willow

21 Street. I saw them myself and had gotten some

22 pictures and there's some pretty large ones

23 there. So I'm hoping that could get remedied

24 soon. There were projects that were going on

25 there.
 42

 1 There were clear markings along that

 2 street as well. So I don't know when the --

 3 when it's expected that the entire street will

 4 be taken care of, but at least if they could

 5 get some temporary fill of the potholes that

 6 are already there. They're -- they're quite

 7 large. So I wouldn't want to hit them with my

 8 vehicle.

 9 And I also submitted a few weeks

10 ago a request for a replacement of a few stop

11 signs at an intersection. It's at Olive and

12 Madison. And a few of them are worn or have

13 graffiti on them. So I'm hoping that DPW will

14 be able to get to them soon so that those stop

15 signs could be replaced because it might be

16 easy for the worn signs for drivers to miss

17 them and perhaps not stop.

18 I wouldn't want to see an accident

19 because of it. I also hate to see graffiti on

20 our -- on our street signs. I would appreciate

21 if they were able to get to that intersection

22 quickly.

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up on

24 that, Dr. Rothchild.

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And that
 43

 1 intersection is also nearby by the Jewish

 2 Community Center, which is on Jefferson Avenue.

 3 And I had some questions because I know that

 4 there were some other schools that we were, you

 5 know, paving the -- not paving but doing

 6 crosswalks at the intersections and signage for

 7 the schools ones that weren't just public

 8 schools.

 9 And they have a preschool inside of

10 that. So I was wondering if we might be able

11 to get the crosswalks at that intersection on

12 Jefferson painted as well as the possibility of

13 some signage that there are, you know, kids

14 there, so just drivers are aware.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did submit that.

16 We'll see what they can schedule.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you.

18 There was a -- something else I had brought up

19 the other week within downtown and with the

20 water collection after storms and the

21 particular intersection that I was asking about

22 was over on Biden and Penn.

23 And I did get to talk to our DPW

24 Director about it. He informed me that he

25 believes that's part of future streetscape
 44

 1 project to be able to add basins at those

 2 intersections where there should be and then

 3 correcting the pavement too so that there's not

 4 that point of water.

 5 So in the meantime they do pay

 6 special attention to those areas that they know

 7 that that occurs in and combine with the street

 8 sweeper and try to remove the water to the best

 9 of their ability. And that's all that I have.

10 Thank you.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Last evening

12 was South Scranton Residents Association

13 meeting. I attended it and also Andrew Sunday

14 from Code Enforcement Department also attended

15 it. I want to thank Andrew Sunday for coming

16 out on his time and speaking with the neighbors

17 about a lot of problems and the neighborhoods

18 about parking and things like that.

19 Another thing came up there was

20 Whittier School and parking at Whittier School.

21 Whittier School in the morning, they put

22 barricades up and in the afternoon too. I only

23 live two blocks away from there. And I did

24 notice the barricades and stuff.

25 But I never thought about it until
 45

 1 really last night when they said about the

 2 traffic and how bad it is up there and that

 3 they have called multiple times. And they have

 4 contacted me and said I didn't respond.

 5 But I did look that all up. So I

 6 did find I did send that in. I did sent it in

 7 to -- actually the last request I had I sent

 8 into Kevin Kearney from the school district and

 9 he met with these people on four separate

10 occasions.

11 But that was from the school

12 district. The police were also there multiple

13 times they sat there. And I have all of this

14 information that we have on our Council

15 website. But they did not have any events

16 happen -- naturally while you're sitting there,

17 nothing is going to happen. Everything will

18 run smooth.

19 But when they're not there -- I

20 actually went up and watched it, and it's a

21 disaster. So I have all the information, Mr.

22 Voldenberg. I'll give it to you after the

23 meeting. And the only thing I could think of

24 is if we could have -- I know the police were

25 there. The school was there.
 46

 1 They painted crosswalks which didn't

 2 make any sense, but they painted crosswalks

 3 into somebody's sidewalk or something. It

 4 just -- it's still there.

 5 But if we can have -- if we could

 6 request have our city engineer go and look at

 7 it and do some traffic study on it. If there's

 8 something else -- we have to be missing

 9 something. You can't walk up. You can't walk

10 across the street.

11 And once they drop the kids off,

12 they go through the alley. They go through the

13 alley like it's a race to get to the other

14 side. So if people are coming up that alley

15 it's really -- it's bad. One of the neighbors

16 was actually out there trying to direct the

17 traffic. And he's elderly, and it's not going

18 to be good. So if we could take care of that.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

20 MR. SMURL: All right. That's it.

21 Thank you.

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

14 delinquent collections of BPM tax? And can we

15 also ask what's the total dollar amount that we

16 collect per year on those delinquencies as

17 MR. SMURL: If there's no further

21 resolutions that got passed tonight in Seventh

22 Order. And I think a lot of progress has been

23 made in the city tonight moving here.

24 One thing I would like to say is,

25 you know, I saw comments in the paper by the
 61

 1 Mayor and if I don't question things while on

 2 this Council, I'm not doing my job as a

 3 Councilman.

 4 So I would just like to put that out

 5 there. I think a lot of progress was made and

 6 this Council passes most things that come down

 7 from this Mayor. That's all I have for

 8 tonight.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

10 DR. ROTHCHILD: I would also just

11 like to add congratulations to Councilman Tom

12 Schuster as well as the other candidates and

13 thank you to everyone who takes that big step

14 and runs for office.

15 It's a lot to be able to put

16 yourself out there, so look forward to whomever

17 I have the pleasure of serving with in the

18 future.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

21 MR. SMURL: If there's no further

22 business, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Motion to adjourn.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. This meeting
