17 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

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

19 received and filed.

20 Do any Council members have any

21 announcements at this time?

22 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a couple.

23 First of all, welcome back after our break. A

24 couple things that are coming up that I wanted

25 to shout out tonight, first off, over the
 6

 1 summer they were going to have a day to honor

 2 Jimmy Connors up at Nay Aug with music. But

 3 that had to be -- I believe it rained and they

 4 had to reschedule it. So it's been rescheduled

 5 to Saturday, September 20th.

 6 So it's going to be Jim Connors Day

 7 at Nay Aug. And that will be taking place from

 8 1 p.m. I think up until 6 p.m. or maybe later.

 9 They have a number of bands and groups that

10 will be playing. But then they've got some

11 other activities too for families.

12 So there will be face painting, a

13 magician, balloons. So it sounds like it will

14 be a really fun day up at the park. So I just

15 wanted to make sure to mention that and then

16 towards the end of the month, Scranton Fringe

17 Festival will be having their annual festival.

18 And that will be taking place from

19 September 25th until October 5th. So if you

20 are interested in going to any of the shows or

21 events for Fringe, you could go to

22 Scrantonfringe.org to find out more about

23 tickets for that. That's all.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

25 MR. MCANDREW: I also have a quick
 7

 1 message from a resident that relayed this to me

 2 and asked me to read it. So all it says was

 3 another exceptional job by the police and the

 4 sheriffs at La Festa. All days were very

 5 secure, high police presentation.

 6 It is so great to have something so

 7 wonderful to bring the community together.

 8 Please pass the word along to all. Great job.

 9 So I agree. That's all I have.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Fourth

11 Order.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

13 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

14 MR. SMURL: First, Norma Jeffries.

15 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening,

16 Council, Norma Jeffries, Scranton resident.

17 And I just want to welcome everyone back. I

18 didn't see an official announcement in the

19 newspaper, so I'm not sure how many people knew

20 that tonight was the first night of reconvening

21 after vacation.

22 But while you were on vacation, of

23 course, it gives us the opportunity to think

24 back of what's gone on these past months at

25 City Council. One of the things that I was
 8

 1 glad to see a lot that went on in the city with

 2 the crosswalks that were painted and all and

 3 ready for the kids to go back to school.

 4 However, then that prompted my

 5 question and my concern for the street signs.

 6 And I was trying to look on the website to

 7 see -- our city website to see what percentage

 8 of the street signs are up and done.

 9 I couldn't find anything on there.

10 So maybe you could help me find where that is

11 and to get the information. And I know it's

12 just not me because over the summer whenever I

13 run into people, they'll say, "Any more street

14 signs up, Norma? Any more street signs?"

15 I say I don't know as much as you

16 know. So if someone could direct me to the

17 website where I could find the information

18 about the percent of the street signs that have

19 been done. The second thing that I wanted to

20 talk about was the -- was the kids going back

21 to school -- let me back up.

22 The wall up at the Radison, I did

23 see also on the news that money was located to

24 prepare -- repair that wall there at the

25 Radison. I know I've spoken about it. And I
 9

 1 know others have spoken about it, the

 2 disrepair.

 3 You know, such an eyesore to the

 4 city as you're coming up Lackawanna Avenue and

 5 to run into that. So I did read over the

 6 summer that money has been located and that

 7 will be repaired. So I'm looking forward to

 8 seeing that particular situation taken care of.

 9 And also, I was also approached, you

10 know, people think just because I come to City

11 Council that I'm City Council. I'm not. But

12 it seems that the pothole situation, there's a

13 pothole at the corner of Ash and Prescott. The

14 person has called and reported it to the

15 pothole hotline and it's still there.

16 And, you know, that's right across

17 the street from Mansour's. So if you are

18 getting ready to take the right-hand turn there

19 you're going to hit that pothole because

20 there's cars there and you got to take a wide

21 turn to get around that corner.

22 So, you know, should you just keep

23 calling and reporting it or just let us know

24 how that whole system works. And the next

25 thing that I was concerned about and it's a
 10

 1 thank you to the community for all the help

 2 that the kids of the city received on preparing

 3 them to go back to school.

 4 There was so many places that as I

 5 rode around the city over at the Farmer's

 6 Market, at Nay Aug Park at the time Antz Hotel,

 7 you know, that were giving out the plastic

 8 bookbag, backpacks for the kids. And they were

 9 filled with the supplies, such a help that was

10 to the parents of the city.

11 So, you know, kudos to any group

12 that was out there and prepared and helped to

13 get those kids back to school. So the thing

14 that I thought about as I was thinking about

15 how great the first day of school for the kids,

16 I thought that was great. We've prepared their

17 backpacks. We've given them supplies.

18 And I thought about their hunger and

19 their food supply. So I did question who is

20 eligible for the breakfast and lunches at the

21 school. And I was told that any of the kids at

22 school could get breakfast and lunch.

23 But they said the problem comes with

24 the time constraints that I guess there is so

25 many kids in line to get the food that they run
 11

 1 out of time before it's their first class.

 2 I don't have any kids in school so I

 3 don't know if that's true or not. So maybe

 4 someone could enlighten me on that. But along

 5 with that I thought it's time for another food

 6 drive. So we're going to be having another

 7 food drive at Nay Aug Park the end of

 8 September.

 9 And it's going to be the two days as

10 we usually do because we thought -- and I

11 thought, you know, when I approach the SMRA

12 about it, I said could we do another food drive

13 because I'm sure that the food pantries that we

14 supplied with food in February is probably

15 down.

16 And with the kids going back to

17 school and if they don't get a chance to have

18 something to eat at school and they get home,

19 they are going to be looking for something to

20 eat. So we're going to be having another food

21 drive.

22 I'll have the fliers ready next

23 week. I don't have them ready right now. But

24 if you could just mark your calendars. And a

25 lot of the stores right now and I know that the
 12

 1 prices are up on food, but they are doing --

 2 they're buy one, get one or buy four, get two.

 3 You know, just think about those in

 4 need when you're out there at the store. Okay?

 5 Thank you.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. I

 7 will see if I could find the street signs

 8 percentage and e-mail it to you.

 9 MS. JEFFRIES: Yeah, that would be

10 great.

11 MR. SMURL: And, Frank -- Mr.

12 Voldenberg, will you also send in Ash and

13 Prescott for pothole again, send in tomorrow?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I made note of it.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Kathy, is

16 the -- is that plugged in? There's no clock.

17 Yeah, I just -- I can't see anything. That's

18 fine. It's not on, okay. Kathy, so can you

19 just watch the timer for me then? I don't

20 know -- thank you, Frank. Joan Hodowanitz.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

22 Scranton. Mr. Smurl, there's a name you should

23 have mentioned during your moment of

24 reflection, so I will mention him. Jerome

25 Martin Mullaney, was born on April 8th, 1926 in
 13

 1 Scranton.

 2 He enlisted in the US Navy and was

 3 assigned to the Destroyer USS Glennon. The

 4 Glennon was part of the armada during the

 5 Normandy invasion of France in 1944. Jerome

 6 was killed in action on June 8th, 1944 when the

 7 US Glennon struck a German mine.

 8 He was awarded a purple heart for

 9 his sacrifice. His remains were recently

10 recovered and identified by the US Navy. A

11 viewing will be held on September 3rd, tomorrow

12 from 10 to 11 a.m. in the Thomas J. Hughes

13 Funeral Home, 1240 St. Ann's Street, Scranton.

14 Internment will be in St. Mary's

15 Cemetery near his parents. And he will be

16 accorded full military honors. Jerome was only

17 18 years old when he died for his country. He

18 couldn't vote. He couldn't drink. But he

19 could die for his country.

20 Now, one of the reasons that I

21 mention it is it took 81 years for his remains

22 to be recovered and identified. And the third

23 Friday in every September is National POW MIA

24 Recognition Day. That's September 19th. Last

25 year the city flew the POW MIA flag in front of
 14

 1 City Hall.

 2 I hope they do again this year. And

 3 on September 19th at 4 p.m. at the Veterans

 4 Memorial near Scranton High School, there will

 5 be a ceremony recognizing all POWs and MIA.

 6 Does anyone know the current count of how many

 7 service members remain missing -- 81,000. And

 8 I wonder how many are from Scranton, just a

 9 thought.

10 I looked at the capital budget.

11 Again, I was pleased to see the amount of

12 information, the transparency. But I had a

13 thought. Many streets in Scranton have no

14 sidewalks. And I'm a pedestrian now for 13

15 years.

16 And, of course, school children are

17 by nature pedestrians. I wonder, do we have

18 any ordinances or regulations that tell us

19 where we should have sidewalks? Who is

20 responsible for them because I know I have to

21 walk on the street many times just going from

22 here to the prison for a prison board.

23 How many children have to walk on

24 the streets. I know Ron Ellman has pointed out

25 a lack of sidewalks in North Scranton. Maybe
 15

 1 somebody could look at that as a future project

 2 like Norma's street signs and other

 3 initiatives.

 4 I looked at the Controller's Report

 5 for July. And under court awards, we paid

 6 $285,000 to Don Scartelli Construction. Was

 7 that the lawsuit involving the splash pad low

 8 bidding?

 9 MR. SMURL: There were three

10 lawsuits involved in that all rolled together.

11 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Are we done

12 with lawsuits from Scartelli?

13 MR. SMURL: I believe we are. I

14 know we paid out and he paid us.

15 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Okay. We

16 had a budget of $400,000 for court awards.

17 We're down to $20,000. So hopefully we have no

18 more coming. Are we making progress on a union

19 contract for DPW?

20 MR. SMURL: As of this morning I was

21 told midSeptember is the next meeting.

22 MS. HODOWANITZ: And how about

23 progress on the 2024 audit? Will it come in on

24 or before the 30th of September?

25 MR. SMURL: All of the authority
 16

 1 audits are complete and all turned into our

 2 auditor. So they're in the hands of our

 3 auditor.

 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm sorry, I didn't

 5 hear that.

 6 MR. SMURL: They're all complete.

 7 All of the authorities have them completed. So

 8 they are all turned in. So now it's up to our

 9 auditor.

10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Thank you.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

12 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

13 I just brought this to remind you that 32

14 people last -- this past winter lost their

15 homes. Eight of them were Scrantonians. The

16 22nd -- August 22nd paper had hundreds and

17 hundreds and hundreds of names being allowed to

18 stay in their homes not paying taxes.

19 One guy that lost his house was

20 across the street of me, $3,500. Another was

21 8,000. The rest of them were big sums.

22 There's a Robert Tuni{phonetic} in this list.

23 One property, he owes 119,000.

24 There's another fellow Vincent

25 Sparnani{phonetic}, $152,700 on one property.
 17

 1 This is -- this is outrageous. A man lost this

 2 house for $3,500 and these people are still

 3 here year after year?

 4 This Dennis Smith, LLC, he got 22

 5 properties, owes a fortune on. There's another

 6 one 24 properties, an LLC. These people don't

 7 pay the taxes. They rent out the property and

 8 nothing is being done. They are not condemned.

 9 This city is just so far out of tune to the

10 people paying for everything.

11 Now, last week's paper has Marty

12 Flynn gives Paige $200,000 for downtown, a

13 grant. Scranton Tomorrow gives another

14 $200,000 grant. Page took $240,000 in the

15 walkability. That is $640,000 for a -- what, a

16 tenth of the city? No sidewalks for

17 neighborhoods, no curbs, not even a street

18 sweeper goes by anything.

19 On the 2500 blocks, they tore down

20 to the Smith house. It's overgrown. I went up

21 there a couple weeks ago with a clipper trying

22 to make a path for the kids to go to school in

23 the morning. This city is just gone to pot

24 except downtown.

25 You people -- I talk to my episode
 18

 1 of getting names, Council isn't well liked. I

 2 only had one lady throw me out, tell me off.

 3 She says, "I'm a straight Democrat." She says

 4 I don't want you to -- she knows me. She's a

 5 block from my house. She said, "I don't want

 6 people like you in the government." Everybody

 7 else I didn't have no problems with.

 8 I had some people ask me to come in

 9 for beer, water, cokes, get out of the sun.

10 People -- I think in my opinion, Paige Cognetti

11 is just the worst Mayor in all 50 American

12 states of any city, town, village, hamlet. If

13 I -- if she's not the worst American Mayor, you

14 tell me who is in black and white and I'll

15 apologize to her.

16 This is -- I watched the kids this

17 morning. They are in the street on the 2500

18 because of illegally parked cars on the 2515

19 house. The 2515 house is a dump. And they

20 have garbage all week long out there. A couple

21 weeks ago the city gave me a letter for having

22 no top on my garbage can.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

24 MR. ELLMAN: How many garbage cans

25 in this city don't have tops on them, probably
 19

 1 100,000, 200,000. I got a ticket for it.

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

 3 MR. ELLMAN: Thank you.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les

 5 Spindler.

 6 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

 7 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

 8 homeowner. 5-F, ratifying and approving the

 9 execution and submission of a grant application

10 by the City of Scranton for over 1 million 200

11 thousand dollars to use towards Lackawanna

12 Avenue pedestrian and bike improvements

13 project. Is that also going to include paving

14 Lackawanna Avenue?

15 MR. SMURL: I believe pave, taking

16 that middle island out, lighting, curb.

17 MR. SPINDLER: Okay. Because I

18 complained about Lackawanna Avenue for I don't

19 know how long. Plus there's -- I hope they're

20 going to mark the streets correctly now so

21 people know when to turn or where to turn and

22 go straight.

23 Next thing, complained about this

24 for I don't know how long. Something's got to

25 be done about these ATVs. It's just getting
 20

 1 worse and worse and worse. Where I live for

 2 almost once a week at least, there's two idiots

 3 come by my house on two wheels really, really

 4 loud.

 5 One of these days I hope they tip

 6 over and hurt themselves because it's

 7 ridiculous. What really took the cake was a

 8 few weeks ago on August 14th, I'm driving south

 9 on North Main Avenue about two blocks from

10 Moletsky's gas station, if anybody is familiar

11 with that.

12 Coming towards me the other way

13 passing cars in the middle of the street is an

14 ATV coming down the middle of the street

15 passing cars on North Main Avenue about 4:30

16 in the afternoon, it was really busy.

17 And luckily, there was no cars

18 parked on my right. I was able to pull over.

19 If I couldn't pull over, that guy would have

20 ran right into me. My car would have been

21 wrecked. But he probably would have been dead.

22 That's the most unbelievable thing I've ever

23 seen, passing cars on North Main Avenue.

24 Something's got to be done. I don't

25 know what could be done. I know the police
 21

 1 aren't allowed to chase them. Somebody's got

 2 to come up with legislation that takes the

 3 responsibility away from the police officers if

 4 they are chasing them and somebody gets injured

 5 or killed.

 6 There's got to -- the police have to

 7 be able to chase these people. Somebody

 8 driving down North Main Avenue passing cars on

 9 an ATV, it's unconscionable. Something's got

10 to be done.

11 Next, last week I'm driving through

12 Dunmore and I see a City of Scranton city

13 inspector car driving through Dunmore. Why is

14 a Scranton city inspector car driving through

15 Dunmore? I know the fire department loans

16 Dunmore equipment if their fire engines are

17 down or whatever.

18 Are we loaning city inspector cars

19 now to Dunmore? I think that should be looked

20 into why a city inspector was driving in

21 Dunmore when they should be here in town doing

22 their job.

23 Lastly, the hole on Dorothy Street,

24 last meeting in July I brought it up that the

25 DPW worker talked to me about it. He asked me
 22

 1 if I knew who filled it in. I said no. And

 2 he -- it must have been him. He painted by the

 3 hole. It said call PA Water DPW. I don't know

 4 what that means. But he put the date. It was

 5 July 23rd. Today is September 2nd. Nothing is

 6 still done.

 7 And I walk my dog there every day.

 8 And almost every day I pick it up, the horses

 9 that the police put there. I think probably

10 kids are knocking them over because there is

11 nothing better to do. But being the good

12 neighbor I am, I pick them up every day.

13 I love my neighborhood and I try to

14 take care of it. But something's got to be

15 done about that hole. I mean, it's filled in

16 but you could see it's sinking. And you could

17 see the blacktop around where they filled it in

18 is cracking.

19 So those horses can't be moved or,

20 you know, a car is going to fall in there. So

21 something this Council has to do something, get

22 in touch with somebody and get that hole taken

23 care of because before you know it, winter will

24 be here and they'll have to plow that street

25 and all of the police horses are blocking that
 23

 1 area.

 2 So I don't know what the solution is

 3 but it's going on like a month and a half since

 4 the DPW worker painted that sign. Nothing's

 5 been done. Thank you.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

 7 Voldenberg, will you send it in again?

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan.

10 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,

11 Lee Morgan. First thing I have here is that I

12 really think the city and the Mayor should

13 contact Griffin Pond and come up with -- I

14 think they are overwhelmed. I called them the

15 other day about some stray animals in the block

16 I live in. They're buried up there.

17 You know, I blame the state

18 legislature for not addressing the problem with

19 strays. I would just like to say that there's

20 a lot of stray cats in my neighborhood. I've

21 had some of them fixed at my own expense. But

22 and I think that Street Cats is overwhelmed.

23 And I really think there's a very

24 serious problem with city government not

25 addressing that problem. And it would be nice
 24

 1 to see something happen.

 2 The other thing I have here is, you

 3 know what, I think it's time for the President

 4 to write and get rid of, you know, write an

 5 executive order and get rid of all the

 6 authorities in all the states and give the

 7 residents an opportunity to get rid of every

 8 single one of them.

 9 You know, I sit and I listen to

10 people talk about their taxes and then you look

11 at the way the government functions. The City

12 of Scranton is saddled with so much debt it's

13 ridiculous. And the residents -- 30 houses in

14 Scranton pay more tax than the University

15 gives in lieu of taxes to the city.

16 All the non-profits are running

17 roughshod over the residents. And the poorest

18 of the poor are in the city struggling to

19 survive as we have a delusional Council and

20 Mayor. You know, I think it's time to pick up

21 an ink pen and head into court. I've done it.

22 I mean, I wouldn't like to be Mr.

23 Hinton because I'm not thinking he's having a

24 lot of fun with my lawsuit against ECTV. I

25 think really he's pulling his hair out. I
 25

 1 think the federal judge is too. But I don't

 2 expect much from the federal judge because I

 3 think he's going to try to shield certain

 4 people.

 5 But that's all right, because that's

 6 what a court of appeals is for. But, you know,

 7 I'm really troubled by all the things that are

 8 happening in this city. As I grow older and I

 9 look around, people used to talk about how

10 people who came to Council meetings were

11 wasting their time.

12 But now we find that the people who

13 weren't coming to Council meetings, they're

14 pulling their hair out. They can't afford to

15 keep their homes. They can't pay their taxes.

16 They can't believe the erosion of city

17 government. And, you know, we had comments

18 here today about city sidewalks and curbs.

19 The federal government even though I

20 didn't need to do this because my father was a

21 master carpenter, sent me to school to be a

22 cement finisher and to build -- make curbs and

23 sidewalks in this city during the Hickey

24 administration.

25 He killed the program. Even the
 26

 1 person that was teaching it asked me why I was

 2 there because he wasn't teaching me anything.

 3 But, you know, it's nice to want to turn around

 4 and contribute something to your city. The

 5 only problem is we don't have elected officials

 6 who care about the people. Jimmy Connors was

 7 probably one of the few.

 8 I hope everybody attends that thing

 9 at Nay Aug Park for him because he was a great

10 Mayor. I wanted to do an interview with him on

11 ECTV. That's how impressed I was with his

12 leadership ability. But we don't see that. We

13 have a Mayor that wants to serve in Congress

14 who locked her constituents out of their City

15 Hall and isn't competent of doing their job and

16 lives outside the city.

17 And not even the Council is

18 concerned about that. It's amazing. You know,

19 finally we have a President who understands

20 that it's time to stand this country back up.

21 You see what he did in DC. I wonder if our

22 crime statistics are real.

23 You know, I wonder who's serving who

24 here. I remember moving all of the old people

25 out of their houses because they couldn't
 27

 1 afford their taxes and nothing's changed, more

 2 blight, more poverty, more public corruption

 3 and more elected officials who want to run for

 4 an office and can't do the job.

 5 And I really think the residents

 6 need to pick up an ink pen and a law book and

 7 proceed to the court. Sooner or later the

 8 Court is going to have to respond to the

 9 problems we have here because we're bankrupt.

10 But I hope you do something about the strays.

11 Thank you.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan.

13 Virgil Argenta.

14 MR. ARGENTA: Virgil Argenta,

15 Scranton resident, City Council candidate. Can

16 we add another name to the time of reflection,

17 Scranton Police Department Captain, Vincent

18 Cardamone. And I'm sure we already heard the

19 news, but I would like to bring to your

20 attention an important matter.

21 The Mayor has announced her

22 candidacy for re-election as Mayor of Scranton

23 while also announcing she will be running for

24 the United States Congress District 8 seat.

25 Pursuing both positions simultaneously is a
 28

 1 clear example of the lack of focus and

 2 dedication she has for the City of Scranton's

 3 needs.

 4 One example is the DPW is still

 5 working without a contract. I won't get into

 6 the other list. As a resident, I'm frustrated

 7 that city issues are neglected in favor of

 8 personal ambition or uninformed voting. It's

 9 time that this Council took a stand and demands

10 our officials put Scranton first.

11 Remember the people did not elect

12 the Business Administrator to run this city.

13 We elect a Mayor. I urge you to consider the

14 following, if our Mayor is willing to divide

15 her attention between two offices, how can we

16 trust that she will affectively serve our city?

17 It's our responsibility as citizens

18 to hold our elected officials accountable and

19 ensure that they are working in the best

20 interest of Scranton. Our city deserves a

21 Council that provides leadership and stability.

22 I would like to express concerns

23 regarding potential impact on city resources

24 and taxpayer funds as the Mayor seeks both

25 reelection and a Congressional seat.
 29

 1 It is essential to establish

 2 explicit guidelines and oversight to ensure

 3 that municipal assets are not going to be

 4 utilized for her campaign purposes, requesting

 5 that City Council consider implementing

 6 measures to monitor and distinguish cell phone

 7 usage and expenses for official city business

 8 versus her campaign activities, vehicle milage

 9 and expenditures related to administrative

10 duties versus campaign events for her, credit

11 card transactions for city operations as

12 opposed to campaign related spending for her

13 campaigns, also requesting that City Council

14 consider ensuring that no city employees or

15 resources are utilized in any capacity for the

16 Mayor's campaign activities during working

17 hours.

18 This includes but not limited to

19 city employees' time and labor use of city

20 facilities, equipment, supplies or any other

21 city resources that could be perceived as

22 supporting a campaign.

23 By doing so, we can ensure that the

24 Mayor's campaign is fully separated from city

25 business and that the taxpayers' resources are
 30

 1 protected. It's essential that we maintain the

 2 highest level of transparency and

 3 accountability in our city's operation during

 4 this dual campaign event.

 5 And we need your help in this

 6 Council. By implementing these measures,

 7 transparency and accountability can be

 8 maintained helping to prevent taxpayer funds

 9 for being used for her campaign purposes.

10 Remember, if she leaves midterm, the Council

11 President takes over.

12 We all witnessed the lack of

13 leadership at the meetings on so many occasions

14 and the havoc and chaos he brought to those

15 meetings. This is definitely not the type of

16 leadership we voted for, we need, nor that we

17 want.

18 I have another sad and disgusting

19 incident, Saturday, 2005 Farr Street, numerous

20 calls over the years. There's a dead mother

21 that's been in the house for four days with her

22 14-year-old little daughter starving for four

23 days. She couldn't get out of the house.

24 She had to call somebody through the

25 computer to get help. Car 21 has a report on
 31

 1 that. There's been numerous calls to code

 2 enforcement, to the police, a stolen U-Haul,

 3 drug activity, drug overdoses, dogs running

 4 wild, dogs left unattended, high grass, high

 5 weeds, no water.

 6 We need to do something. When

 7 people make calls and the neighbors call, we

 8 need somebody to answer the call to service.

 9 We have a mother that's dead and we have a

10 14-year-old girl that was in the house for four

11 days while her mother rotted away, not in our

12 neighborhood, Council. Thank you.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Dave

14 Dobrzyn.

15 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council,

16 Dave Dobrzyn. Compliments to Steamtown and La

17 Festa. I attended both of them at least two

18 days and three days on the festival and it was

19 pretty good.

20 If you voted for Trump, please don't

21 walk up to me and tell me how you didn't think

22 he was going to be that way when I'm trying to

23 listen to music at the La Festa. It makes me

24 sick. Okay, streets.

25 Now, somebody did make a mention
 32

 1 that their street needed to be repaired. And

 2 when I thought back of what my street -- what a

 3 nuisance it was while the water company and the

 4 gas company got busy and didn't stay real busy,

 5 it's kind of -- the only thing I would ask of

 6 the Mayor is if you have a report of a bunch of

 7 potholes, get somebody down there and pound

 8 some asphalt in it and try to help them out.

 9 It's the utility companies have to

10 repave it. So what's the point in using

11 hundreds of thousands of dollars to repave a

12 street that the utility company is going to

13 tear up next spring, if possible.

14 On 5-F, I'm concerned about bicycle

15 paths through town. The rest is all water over

16 the dam. I'm not worried about it. It's going

17 to happen, no sense in bothering. But your

18 former engineer Pocius mentioned that trucks

19 are going to have a hard time turning within 10

20 feet, delivery trucks and so forth.

21 So, you know, I really would

22 appreciate if we kept downtown as a business

23 district and not -- not a playground. That's

24 all. You know, it always was a business

25 district and the people want to live there and
 33

 1 I have before mentioned that if somebody wants

 2 to become a landlord downtown, then they

 3 should provide a parking space for each and

 4 every tenant.

 5 This city was built before

 6 automobiles and now everybody owns two or three

 7 of them. And it's a problem. I could see when

 8 I moved into my neighborhood where the older

 9 kids who were practically as old as me, you

10 know, four -- three houses right next to each

11 other.

12 I'm scratching my head. Did you

13 people get in a lot of fights, neighborhood

14 arguments over who gets to park where when your

15 four kids are 16 and 18 and they're driving and

16 parking their cars everywhere and they need it

17 for a job or whatever.

18 You know, you hear a lot about

19 police. And this last federal funding has been

20 withdrawn. Now, there's things that could cost

21 you little time or your taxes, a lot more

22 property taxes to fund the police to be able to

23 provide police services or you could repel a

24 potential serious criminal and wind up in court

25 over it.
 34

 1 You know, it's just -- what would

 2 happen if somebody broke through the door and

 3 you just happen to have a gun and shot them?

 4 You have a trial to go to. And that's all

 5 there is to it. So I appreciate that the

 6 police are well-funded and I can't pay anymore

 7 property taxes.

 8 I have a little appeal on my

 9 unconstructible lot. They priced it out at

10 $32,000. You can't build nothing on it. It's

11 a standalone. It's really -- I have to get

12 Mar-A-Lago to move in there or something.

13 Election, anyone can promise. Anyone can

14 promise.

15 You could promise the second coming

16 of Jesus, you know, it probably isn't going to

17 happen. But you could promise it. Lots of

18 fault get found -- well, I'm a little tired of

19 FBI in town. I'm a little tired of people

20 being arrested two days after the last guy's

21 statutes ran out.

22 And personally I scratch my head

23 that we just want to grab and fill our pockets

24 for a change. Thank you -- I'm not that

25 unhappy with the Mayor. I plan to vote for
 35

 1 her.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's it

 3 for the sign-in slip. Anybody else wish to

 4 address Council?

 5 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. I

 6 see the launch of the $50 gift cards have

 7 started. Were you, Mr. Schuster, invited by

 8 the Mayor or Council President to the press

 9 event for this launch?

10 I ask because it was odd to me that

11 the people invited for the $50 free good will

12 publicity was the selected candidates for the

13 open elected positions. This program was

14 announced at City Council meeting on July 9th,

15 2024. Why is the program being -- why was the

16 program delayed? They announced it.

17 And I expect as I said before this

18 body, the political game of the delay of the

19 rollout, almost 14 months later it's

20 suspiciously close to election, here we go.

21 Maybe it's improper to run this in an election

22 year or at least on the doorstep of an

23 election and again, was asked what was the

24 criteria for the beautiful homes?

25 Who made the decision? This was
 36

 1 asked prior but never answered, dodged but

 2 never answered. Moving on, I see from the

 3 Scranton Police post on Friday, August 4th,

 4 2023 that Eileen Cipriani is a City Business

 5 Administrator and the Deputy Mayor.

 6 I believe she still holds the title

 7 of Deputy Mayor. Has she ever acted as Mayor

 8 when the Mayor was in Washington or out of the

 9 country or when the Mayor was delivering or

10 just had her child? I ask this because she's

11 barred from the duties of the position of

12 Deputy Mayor.

13 To put it in context, one of the

14 qualifications for you as Vice President is to

15 be eligible to take over as the US President.

16 The position of Vice President requires that

17 you qualify for the presidency. The city

18 charter has requirements for the Mayor.

19 You must be a resident of the City

20 of Scranton. A Deputy Mayor is to take over in

21 the case of sudden illness or temporary

22 incapacity. Cipriani by law cannot perform

23 this function. She legally cannot meet the

24 qualification and the criteria for the position

25 of Deputy Mayor.
 37

 1 That leads me to the Mayor going on

 2 the campaign trail for Congress. Who is going

 3 to run the city in the absence if she's

 4 re-elected? Cipriani can't. And that brings

 5 us back to City Council and the Mayor.

 6 The Mayor wants to run two jobs at

 7 the same time. If she wins the Congressional

 8 seat, she certainly will say stuff it to

 9 Scranton. And what -- and why is -- a number

10 of municipalities out there make you resign if

11 you're going to try for another office because

12 it's disingenuous to run for a four-year term

13 that in all intentions that you do not intend

14 to serve.

15 It's unfair, destroys stability and

16 requires a costly special election. And that

17 bring us to the next Mayor. If Cognetti takes

18 a Congressional seat and I hope she does, the

19 City Council President will be Mayor until a

20 special election can be held.

21 President Smurl is up for election.

22 Do the residents of Scranton want to risk

23 electing Smurl from being the Council President

24 and then ascending to Mayor? This is the

25 reality we face in our next vote. Chose City
 38

 1 Council carefully.

 2 Last, a recap from the season

 3 cliffhanger. Last time on City Council I

 4 served the body. A lawyer contacted me from

 5 the city playing both good cop and bad cop at

 6 the same time because it threatened the parking

 7 contract as it was passed improperly, I asked

 8 the judge to nullify it.

 9 I was threatened with the cost and

10 the damages if they win and it would

11 financially ruin me. The attorney claimed my

12 action was frivolous and said -- and I asked

13 him, well, what agreement can we come to? How

14 could we mediate this?

15 And he said I must withdraw my

16 client fully with prejudice. But I said I've

17 looked at the issues and I'm willing to modify

18 it, but some claims are still valid. Can we

19 work something out? He said withdraw with full

20 prejudice by noon on Monday. He never even

21 looked at the claims he said.

22 How does he know it's frivolous

23 without ever looking at the legal documents?

24 Well, I did amend the action to remove the

25 parking vote because I asked last time and
 39

 1 received no explanation when the Council voted

 2 before recess of what a motion to ratify is of

 3 something they passed.

 4 So I had to research it.

 5 Ratification serves as a formal process which a

 6 board legitimizes a prior unauthorized or

 7 improper action assuring alliances with bylaws

 8 and legal requirements.

 9 It's a legal mulligan to correct a

10 violation. So it's a posed frivolous claim of

11 improper actions was repaired by ratification

12 after my suit was filed. The ratification is a

13 cure. It admits improper -- it admits improper

14 action by use and the amended suit continues.

15 Good night.

16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

17 Voldenberg, did you include all of Council for

18 that -- those gift cards? Was all of Council

19 invited to that? Did administration invite all

20 of Council?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: Were they what now?

22 MR. SMURL: Were they all invited to

23 go to the gift card --

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I believe they

25 were.
 40

 1 MR. SMURL: I believe they were too.

 2 MR. MANCINI: Mike Mancini,

 3 Scranton. Good evening, Scranton City Council,

 4 the rest who pay attention to our local elected

 5 officials. Welcome to the season premier of

 6 as the City of Scranton turns.

 7 Character, defines who you are by

 8 the way you carry yourself and treat others.

 9 Your name and what you make of it follows you

10 much like your shadow. And the election should

11 not be determined by popularity or party.

12 Local elections involve children, our way of

13 life and our future.

14 They should be determined by

15 character. Any local elected official who runs

16 for re-election should show leadership by

17 example, answering questions and concerns,

18 choosing to be different, making the right

19 decisions for the right reasons, identifying

20 problems and having solutions.

21 Any elected official should never

22 put themselves above who elected them. Here in

23 the city, we have someone not originally from

24 here who earned our votes just to burn our

25 votes. The atmosphere that she has created
 41

 1 questions as if she really cares about our

 2 city.

 3 There is so many examples of her

 4 incompetence. Take a look at our roads. She

 5 has allowed PA Water to rip to shreds, our

 6 streets with no oversight using a third party

 7 company to do our crosswalks in an election

 8 year, $500,000 out the door.

 9 Our best at DPW would have used the

10 proper paint. Who will be the first to ask Mr.

11 Voldenberg to call PA Water, remind them of our

12 ordinances also sending them a copy of the

13 ordinance and getting them in once again before

14 caucus.

15 Ask themselves -- ask them the right

16 questions, hold them accountable, let your city

17 know how much you care. Council be forewarned,

18 start answering questions and asking the right

19 ones. If you do not, then you condone it.

20 Mediocre better be last season.

21 Let us now talk about the current

22 climate. We have lost and continue to lose so

23 many amazing property owners because of the

24 increased crime in the past five years. She

25 has an extra set of locked doors because she's
 42

 1 afraid of answering questions.

 2 Maybe someone will see the daycare

 3 room inside City Hall. We have no working

 4 cameras, nor anyone to watch them 24/7. She's

 5 neither proactive or reactive. She's just

 6 active for herself.

 7 We had a pill press in our city.

 8 Apparently she knew the gang member because she

 9 took a picture with him. She never dove into

10 any of our deep end pools, never rode a bike up

11 and down the streets or in the alleys as a kid.

12 She never even attended one of our

13 schools in Scranton. She never walked in the

14 St. Patrick's Day Parade as a child. We had so

15 many great memories growing up in Scranton.

16 She has none. Intellect would automatically

17 tell you, do you need to know the picture in

18 order to put the pieces together.

19 Instead, preoccupied Paige and her

20 expansion team lost many of those pieces. We

21 have four less deep end pools because of them.

22 We have an increase in police calls where none

23 of them are isolated incidents. Gangs, drugs,

24 guns, someone stuck on stupid and having their

25 eyes wide shut will vote for pandering Paige.
 43

 1 Get it together. There are better choices.

 2 The stigma days of not answering

 3 questions as if our city officials do not care

 4 are over. Only some questions can answer in an

 5 election year. Don't be like Paige. Be better

 6 than her. We need the best from those who we

 7 elect. There are so many amazing people and

 8 their families in the City of Scranton. They

 9 deserve it.

10 Good evening to the good people of

11 Scranton. Good evening, Scranton City Council.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

13 That's all, Frank.

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

15 MOTIONS.

16 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you

17 have any motions or comments?

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have several

19 comments. It was discussed tonight about the

20 audit in public comment. I was going to

21 request an update on the audit as well. And we

22 heard from Mr. Smurl all of the authorities

23 have sent their audits in and we're just

24 waiting on city auditor to get that together.

25 So hopefully we get that by the end of
 44

 1 September.

 2 In caucus I discussed getting

 3 together with the zoning board. We met with

 4 them. They came into our chambers. We came

 5 into theirs to meet with them to discuss any

 6 updates and amendments to be made to the 2023

 7 ordinance.

 8 Mr. Gilbride is going to meet with

 9 their attorney to discuss those ordinances and

10 to see what amendments can be made

11 specifically to that ordinance, including

12 parking spaces, the square footage of

13 apartments, Airbnbs and Section 3.5.

14 Two months prior to our return

15 tonight, we requested that the Scranton

16 Recreation -- or the Scranton Redevelopment

17 Authority Executive Director come in and speak

18 with us in caucus. She was hired some time ago

19 and we haven't heard from her since.

20 Several meetings were scheduled and

21 several meetings were cancelled. Mr.

22 Voldenberg, where are we at with getting the

23 Executive Director in?

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: We extended the

25 invite to the Director, the Board, and the
 45

 1 Solicitor for next week.

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. So we may have

 3 the Executive Director --

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: -- confirmation as

 5 of this afternoon.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay, but possibly as

 7 early as next week.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: As early as next

 9 week.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

11 you. With that being said, is it possible for

12 you to get a list of the SRA meetings whether

13 they occurred or whether they were canceled?

14 And I looked on the website. I haven't been

15 able to find any meetings, any meeting minutes.

16 I'm told they've occurred. But I

17 have no record of those meetings have actually

18 occurred.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: We'll get that

20 information for you.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

22 If we could have some copies of those minutes.

23 You did get me a property list of the SRA owned

24 properties. There's about 47 on the list. Do

25 we know if this is a complete list of all the
 46

 1 properties owned by the SRA?

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I believe so to

 3 date.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you.

 5 Also, I reached out to John Murray and I got

 6 the update on the salary reimbursement for the

 7 Executive Director. And this was back in, I

 8 believe, May.

 9 So could we get just -- can we get

10 an updated salary reimbursement schedule for

11 that director as well?

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

14 Prior to our break ABM or Car Park had said if

15 any of the Council members would like to have a

16 meeting with them, they would be willing to set

17 one up.

18 And I talked to Mr. Gilbride. So

19 when you reach out to them, if we could get a

20 date set for our meeting. I would like to meet

21 with Car Park or ABM to discuss moving forward.

22 Mr. Voldenberg, there is several issues that

23 are pending from over our break. And I'll just

24 follow up with you in an e-mail about those.

25 In the capital budget I was happy to
 47

 1 see that for 2026 we do have funding that the

 2 city is going to go out for a local LSA Grant

 3 for an amount of $350,000 for the predesign,

 4 design and the construction oversight costs for

 5 the building -- for Engine 10 on East Mountain.

 6 Last year we did get specific

 7 language in here about the building remaining

 8 in that location. Can we just ask that the

 9 administration add that language in here that

10 the building will remain on East Mountain?

11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That is

13 all. Thanks.

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

15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

16 comments?

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. Thank

18 you. A number of things, first, there was some

19 responses that we received from questions and

20 concerns we expressed prior to the August

21 recess. And the one of them that I had brought

22 up was the slow speed of the website loading

23 for the City of Scranton.

24 And they took a look at it and I

25 believe it's since been repaired because I know
 48

 1 I personally haven't been experiencing an

 2 issue. But if anyone still is to let us know

 3 that I think that it's loading a lot faster now

 4 and I'm glad that that was resolved. So thank

 5 you to IT for working on that.

 6 And then I had a number of

 7 complaints, some of them along Prescott Avenue

 8 that I have been working on for a while now and

 9 that people continue to bring to me. So one of

10 them is a business that was previously brought

11 up.

12 And I believe the inspectors had

13 gone out that they had reserved parking signs

14 out front. It was on the 900 block across the

15 street from Mansour's Avenue -- or Mansour's

16 and, yeah, they still have those signs out. So

17 I don't know if they removed them for a period

18 of time or if they just never removed them.

19 But if we could have them back out there again

20 to get them to remove the --

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. They

22 should have been removed by now.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: -- so that parking

24 is available to others. Yes, thank you. And

25 then I did see the demo list that was -- that
 49

 1 was released and so I'm happy to see some of

 2 the properties that are on there that

 3 definitely -- that had been needed to be taken

 4 care of for quite sometime now.

 5 But one of them was not on there

 6 that I was particularly interested in that I've

 7 gotten a lot of complaints about in the past

 8 and that was 429 Prescott Avenue. So I'm not

 9 sure why it wasn't on that demo list. But if

10 you could take a look into the status of that

11 property.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr.

13 Rothchild.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

15 another one is the vacant SRA lot that's on

16 Vine and Prescott that I brought up prior to

17 the break. And it's been brought to my

18 attention that it is still overgrown and so I

19 believe DPW was to take care of that or we

20 contacted DPW about it and I don't think it's

21 been touched.

22 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's right. We

23 did ask that the barriers be removed and that

24 the overgrown lot be mowed. I'll have to

25 follow up because it hasn't been.
 50

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Great. Thank

 2 you. And I received a complaint on Capouse

 3 Avenue. There is a broken telephone pole that

 4 I was told has been there since prior to Covid

 5 and it's been an eyesore.

 6 There's businesses around there.

 7 One of the businesses is looking at putting a

 8 new sidewalk in and doesn't want the new

 9 sidewalk to be destroyed by the broken

10 telephone pole being there. So if we could

11 find out how that could be removed.

12 I know that they had been in contact

13 with PPL. And PPL had said it was not their

14 responsibility, of course. So if we could find

15 out whose responsibility it is so we could take

16 care of it.

17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr.

18 Rothchild.

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

20 there were a number of crosswalks being painted

21 across the city which I'm very happy to see --

22 we'll obviously need to continue to maintain

23 that because after a few years that they tend

24 to fade away quickly.

25 So I think that's something we'll
 51

 1 need to look towards in the budget for the

 2 future, continue to maintain the crosswalks.

 3 What I did notice, a lot of them were around

 4 the Hill Section. But the ones along Harrison

 5 Avenue weren't updated.

 6 And I previously talked to one of

 7 the departments about that. But I think -- and

 8 they said it should be on list. But it still

 9 hasn't been done. I don't know if they moved

10 onto other neighborhoods. I want to make sure

11 it's not forgotten about because that is a very

12 busy street that a lot of people would like to

13 be able to cross. But it's difficult to do so.

14 And those crosswalks would make it safer.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check into it.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

17 let's see. One more thing that I wanted to

18 send to Parks and Rec was regarding Connors

19 Park. So we -- my daughter loves playgrounds

20 and loves the city parks and we try to get to

21 as many as we can.

22 And this weekend we went to

23 Robinson, which she loved. It's looking

24 beautiful over there. But we were also over at

25 Connors Park over in South Side. And there
 52

 1 were a number of issues over there that I

 2 believe need to be addressed. And I'm not sure

 3 if anyone had sent them in before through 311.

 4 But one of them is there's a swing

 5 that you can lay on, not one that you sit on,

 6 kind of like the version of an old tire swing.

 7 And that was -- that was really broken. So I

 8 wouldn't want anyone to go on that and get

 9 injured.

10 And then there was also around one

11 of the apparatuses, the rubber surface was

12 broken, kind of like what had happened at the

13 splash pad previously that had that rubber

14 surface where it's torn up. And then the

15 swings, there were I think like six swings, two

16 of them were for like babies or toddlers.

17 They were all very low to the

18 ground. So if a bigger kid was on one of the

19 other swings, their feet would be touching. So

20 it probably makes sense to have one or two of

21 them lower, but perhaps not all of them. So if

22 they could be reset to higher so that more

23 people and kids could enjoy them.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out to

25 Parks and Rec in the morning.
 53

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. That's

 2 everything that I have.

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

 4 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

 5 motions or comments?

 6 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I got a couple.

 7 So, you know, we hear this all the time either

 8 in public comment, now I'm getting some e-mails

 9 about cars on sidewalks -- parked on the

10 sidewalks illegally. We know it's illegal.

11 But it seems to be all over the city now.

12 And could you please reach out to

13 the Scranton Police Department and, you know,

14 I'm sure they are aware of it, but alert them

15 that what's the strategy for this and how is

16 this being taken care of?

17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

18 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank

19 you. So I want to go back to the handicap sign

20 legislation because it might be a little

21 confusing to some folks. But my understanding,

22 you know, part of the legislation was to have

23 the license plate reflective on the sign so

24 it's for that individual sign.

25 I just want to know if that process
 54

 1 is -- was implemented and if it was just a

 2 renewal, that wouldn't take place. So it would

 3 have to be a separate application? Is that my

 4 understanding, Mr. Gilbride or Solicitor

 5 Gilbride?

 6 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It's my

 7 understanding it's a separate application for

 8 the reserved handicap parking other than just

 9 the regular handicap parking.

10 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Just for

11 clarity sake, it's a separate application

12 process.

13 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's my

14 understanding. I will certainly confirm that

15 for you. But that's my understanding. And

16 that's how it was anticipated to be

17 implemented.

18 MR. MCANDREW: If you would please

19 clarify that for me.

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Absolutely.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Because I got a

22 question about it. Also, at the Wright Center

23 I requested quite some time ago a traffic

24 study. And my understanding is that the

25 stormwater projects are taking priority with
 55

 1 the City Engineer.

 2 So can we see where they're at with

 3 that now on the list per se where the Wright

 4 Center lies for that traffic study?

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check into it,

 6 sir.

 7 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. And also,

 8 prior to summer I brought up or actually, of

 9 course, a resident brought up to me about a

10 blighted property at 1158 Hampton Street. So

11 it was a lot of overgrowth and brush. But now

12 this resident sent me a picture and the

13 overgrowth now extends onto the sidewalk.

14 And it's safety issue with two

15 schools being there that the students walking,

16 you know, have to walk closer to the road and

17 is kind of a safety issue. So would you please

18 send that to code enforcement to make sure that

19 it's taken care especially since the kids are

20 back to school?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll have them

22 follow up.

23 MR. MCANDREW: And I have a picture

24 I'll send you too.

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: Thank you.
 56

 1 MR. MCANDREW: Yes, a lot of

 2 crosswalks were done. I know that I brought up

 3 recently Railroad and Luzerne and Meridian and

 4 Luzerne. But in addition to that, there seems

 5 to be an issue with the turning lanes. So if

 6 you could please reach out to administration to

 7 see if, you know, they'll be able to redo the

 8 turning lanes at -- because they need to be

 9 done.

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

11 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. That's all I

12 have. Thank you.

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

14 Just an update on our finance meeting from last

15 Wednesday, the interest earned on our tax

16 dollars to date is $531,000 -- $531,540. So

17 we're on track to reach our budget in the

18 amount of 850,000.

19 So I believe we will make that this

20 year. All of the authorities as we said before

21 have completed their audits. Everything is in

22 the hands of our auditor now. So I hope we

23 would be able to do this by end of September

24 this year.

25 The only standout that I saw on
 57

 1 overtime in any department was, of course, the

 2 Parks and Rec and that was because of the code

 3 blue. And I hope this years' budget comes and

 4 we put more money in for that so we don't

 5 continually have that one going way over

 6 budget. I know we can't control the weather

 7 but it seemed to have grown over the past few

 8 years.

 9 Also, we had -- this has to do with

10 the Scranton Redevelopment Authority also. The

11 director was supposed to have -- we were

12 supposed to form a vacant properties review

13 committee. That was back in June of 2024 and

14 then it went into September of 2024. That

15 project was to start helping with blight and

16 problems throughout our neighborhoods.

17 And that doesn't seem to be moving

18 along at all either. So today again I did

19 request that the entire Scranton -- the SRA

20 Redevelopment Authority come to caucus again

21 next week. So we'll see if they, indeed, do

22 show up.

23 And I'd like to know on the progress

24 that they've done or had in the past 24 months

25 any plans on what we're planning on doing in
 58

 1 the future and what their goals are. And are

 2 we going to get this blight committee off the

 3 ground.

 4 So there's a lot of stuff that

 5 seemed to have died and that is really way over

 6 a year. I don't see why something like that

 7 would take this long. But while we were --

 8 while we're waiting for this, I kind of moved

 9 forward with some ordinance.

10 I did draft an ordinance for vacant

11 property registrations. I gave it to our

12 attorney. I will next week after he looks at

13 it share it with the administration and the

14 Council members to see if we could move ahead

15 with that because I don't believe we're going

16 anywhere really fast with this blight committee

17 that we had formed. That is all I have, Mr.

18 Voldenberg.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

 64

 1 MR. MCANDREW: On the question, so I

 2 looked at this piece of legislation. It's 1.2

 3 million dollars. That's a lot of money. But

 4 I'm just concerned or I just want

 5 clarification's sake that, you know, the

 6 legislation says that it's for curbs and it's

 7 going to help with stormwater and it's for bike

 8 lanes and improvement for pedestrians.

 9 But I know during the walkability

10 study it was made mention that changing

11 streetlights to stop signs. I want to know

12 before, you know, of course, I'll move this

13 tonight. But I want to know if that is

14 somewhere embedded in that cost or in that plan

15 that I just don't see. Can you please seek

16 clarification for that?
