16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

17 Are there any comments on any of the Third

18 Order items? If not, received and filed. Do

19 any Council members have any announcements at

20 this time?

21 MR. FLYNN: Real quick, I just want

22 to take an opportunity to thank the DPW workers

23 last week whose swift action saved a porch and

24 potentially a house in West Scranton. So the

25 two DPW workers Charles Dukerich and Justin
 5

 1 Krukowski, I just want to take a moment to

 2 publically thank you for your work with just a,

 3 you know, a fire extinguisher and some handfuls

 4 of snow that were still there, really sprung

 5 into action and really saved that house in West

 6 Side. So we commend you for your swift action

 7 and thank you for all you do for our city.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 9 Does anyone else have any announcements at this

10 time? All right. I'd also like to say thank

11 you to those workers that helped prevent that

12 fire.

13 Also, there was a fire on Prospect,

14 I believe. And the fire department put that

15 out within 15 minutes. So I thank them for

16 their quick action as well. Fourth Order.

17 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

18 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker

20 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz.

21 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

22 Scranton. Next week starting Tuesday and

23 running through Saturday is the library's

24 quarterly book sale. It's in the Market Place

25 at Steamtown on the second floor right in front
 6

 1 of the Crunch Gym.

 2 It's a great opportunity to get a

 3 wide variety of used books for one or two

 4 dollars. And if you ever look at the cost of

 5 buying a brand new book, it will blow your

 6 socks off. So please take advantage of it.

 7 Also, with regard to DPW's heros,

 8 you know, I watch a lot of TV at night as I'm

 9 doing other things, cleaning or whatever. And,

10 you know, you'll see shows about firefighters.

11 And you'll see shows about police which, you

12 know, lend themselves to television.

13 You will never see a show about DPW

14 workers. But, you know, where would we be

15 without them as a city? The work they do for

16 public safety and public health by removing our

17 refuse every day in many adverse weather

18 conditions. And then, you know, they step up

19 and save people's lives.

20 And the irony was they just after

21 they saved this house, they just quietly went

22 on their way picking up the garbage. You know,

23 so here's a shoutout to all of DPW for what

24 they do. Speaking of DPW, is there any hope

25 for a contract?
 7

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: There are no updates

 2 at this time.

 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Well, you

 4 know, they've gone 410 days without a contract.

 5 And I hope that people are working hard on

 6 that. For the last couple years when the

 7 reassessment process was ongoing, people would

 8 come up not only here but at the Government

 9 Center for the county, you know, worrying about

10 how much their taxes would go up.

11 Am I correct in assuming that

12 everybody should have gotten their tax bill by

13 now?

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, I would say so.

15 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm surprised that

16 I don't see people lining up with their torches

17 and their pitchfork. I'm sure many people's

18 taxes have gone up. And I hope that they do

19 look into their rights to appeal whatever

20 they've been assessed at and their tax bills.

21 But I'm surprised that I thought,

22 you know, as soon as that shoe dropped, the

23 city would be in an uproar but where are they,

24 you know, so hopefully, you know, we'll hear

25 from them and how they feel.
 8

 1 In Third Order this is a new thing

 2 that I've seen is the other post employment

 3 benefits quarterly investment review. And for

 4 people who don't know what the other post

 5 employment benefits are, it's the healthcare

 6 and life insurance for retirees and their

 7 eligible dependents.

 8 But what amazed me was that the

 9 trust fund for that is going up at a

10 respectable clip. If I recall it was -- the

11 last quarter of 2025, the market value went up

12 from 3.2 million to 3.3 million. And it's

13 going up in over a year.

14 For 2025 it went up from 2.6 million

15 to 3.3 million. So I'm glad that we started

16 posting that in Third Order.

17 One thing, there was an individual

18 who went to the County Commissioners' meeting a

19 few weeks ago who lived in Finch Apartments and

20 he was upset because someone -- he thought it

21 was from Scranton posted a sign on the door

22 Finch Apartments that the residents had 15 days

23 to get out of there because of some violation

24 of the registration of that building.

25 Since then, apparently it's been
 9

 1 cleared up and the residents will not have to

 2 move. But I'm curious, who in licensing and

 3 permits and, you know, would have posted that

 4 and not simply contacted the management and try

 5 to clear that up and not panic the residents of

 6 that building.

 7 It's unfortunate that that gentleman

 8 had to go to the County Commissioners for that

 9 problem to have been resolved. It should have

10 never have happened. Thank you.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next, we

12 have Mike Mancini.

13 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council

14 President Schuster. Good evening, members of

15 City Council and residents of Scranton. I

16 appreciate the opportunity to speak with you

17 tonight about an issue that lies at the heart

18 of everything thriving, public safety and the

19 importance of a well managed properly

20 structured police department.

21 Safety is not just a statistic that

22 is measured by crime rates. It's a foundation

23 of how people feel when they walk down the

24 street, when they send their kids to school or

25 when they wake up daily, the city's ability to
 10

 1 protect its residents and maintain trusts

 2 directly affects it's economic vitality and

 3 sense of community and quality of life for

 4 everyone who calls Scranton home.

 5 Our police department is more than

 6 officers responding to calls. It's an

 7 organization that must operate with the same

 8 precision and planning and accountability as

 9 any other major institution.

10 When a department has the right

11 structure and leadership, it strengthens the

12 community from within and ensures that

13 resources are allocated wisely. Training is

14 consistent and officers are supported to

15 perform their duties fairly, effectively, and

16 safely.

17 But structure also needs strategy.

18 We need systems that emphasize community

19 policy, policing, transparency and the

20 continual improvement. Officers who know the

21 neighborhoods build you stronger relationships

22 and are better equipped to prevent problems

23 before they escalate.

24 That's not just good policing. It's

25 good governance. Equally important is
 11

 1 leadership accountability. Well maintained

 2 department as clear standards, continuous

 3 evaluation and mechanisms for feedback, both

 4 within the force and from the public. It's the

 5 kind of management that only reduces risk but

 6 builds mutual respect between officers and its

 7 residents.

 8 When people trust law enforcement is

 9 properly trained, properly led, and properly

10 resourced, they're more willing to cooperate

11 and that cooperation is what keeps the city

12 safe. In the not so distant future we once

13 again hear the loud whistle of a train that

14 will allow travel through the Poconos and New

15 Jersey and New York City.

16 I would like to recommend that our

17 City Council investigate a study of the

18 Scranton Police Department. I believe that the

19 structure of both our police department and

20 detectives' division is critical to our safety.

21 We need to ensure that we have the

22 right people in the right place at the right

23 time for the right reasons with the best

24 results.

25 Do we need more detectives? There
 12

 1 was a study to determine that and so much more.

 2 Since the beginning of this year, this

 3 Council's been proactive. Do not drop the ball

 4 when it comes to our safety, not only owe this

 5 to our residents, but also to our amazing

 6 police officers who want to go home safely to

 7 their families at the end of each shift.

 8 When we get the structure right,

 9 when we manage our police department wisely,

10 hold them accountable and connected to the

11 community, we do not just reduce crime, we

12 build a Scranton where people trust each other,

13 where they feel safe enough to dream, where

14 they truly believe that Scranton is home. Good

15 evening, Council. Good evening, Scranton.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next,

17 Lee Morgan.

18 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council.

19 The first thing I have here tonight is that I'm

20 opposed to any use of the water at Lake

21 Scranton to cool data centers. I think that

22 anybody who builds a data center anywhere needs

23 to build their own retention ponds for cooling.

24 And I think that that water is there

25 for one sole purpose, human consumption, okay.
 13

 1 The other thing I have here is, I'm opposed to

 2 farming out juvenile -- the juvenile detention

 3 center.

 4 I think that the county needs to

 5 build one here locally. There was one in the

 6 300 of Monroe Avenue at one time. The county

 7 closed it and conveyed the property to the

 8 University of Scranton. And I think that we

 9 have a really very serious problem in the

10 community.

11 It's a violation of the public

12 trust. I think our elected officials

13 continually violate the public trust and don't

14 move in the best interest of the residents,

15 whether it's the county or the city.

16 I intend in the next couple weeks to

17 call a couple neighborhood groups and see if

18 something can be done in conjunction with them.

19 But I intend to serve the city with -- well,

20 the Council and the Mayor with a document in

21 regards to putting the peg channel back. I

22 haven't forgotten about that.

23 But I'm going to ask for

24 resignations of the Council by motion. And I'm

25 going to present it to the Council and give you
 14

 1 the opportunity to read the motion and vote on

 2 it. And then in three or four weeks, I'm going

 3 to go to the Court of Common Pleas and ask the

 4 Court to remove you for violation of public

 5 trust. I think that's the way I'm going.

 6 I don't think anybody's ever done

 7 that. But, I mean, you've got to see where we

 8 are in this city. It's just a complete mess.

 9 We're buying the Tribune building next to City

10 Hall when we could have bought the credit union

11 building or the former Courthouse Annex for

12 less money with a lot more utility to the city.

13 We have feral cats running all over

14 the neighborhoods, no solution to that. You

15 know, even bringing up a vote to do something

16 with the water at Lake Scranton is ridiculous.

17 Okay, the problem with the residents not being

18 able to afford their water and the sewer bills

19 and the Council and a Mayor that are just not

20 concerned.

21 I mean, I haven't seen or maybe

22 you've done this. I haven't seen a letter to

23 the PUC demanding that they cut the rates here.

24 I haven't seen a letter in regards going to

25 Pennsylvania American Water.
 15

 1 I watched the hearings you've had

 2 here with multiple groups. And I just come to

 3 the conclusion that you really have no

 4 understanding of what's going on. You're just

 5 empty suits sitting there asking silly

 6 questions to look intelligent.

 7 You know, the Council voted to build

 8 a parking garage here -- previous Council.

 9 But, you know what, there's a chain of

10 possession here. It's one Council on top of

11 another Council on top of another Council. And

12 it's just been a chain where you ask the

13 Council questions, you don't say one word. You

14 just sit there.

15 We didn't enter the temple to pray

16 to priests. We came to petition our

17 government. And when you stand there with a

18 stone face and have nothing to say and you look

19 at where our city is, I mean, the parking

20 garages should have been outright sold.

21 But instead, we shield the operators

22 from taxation. But you look at the residents

23 in the city. They get massive tax increases

24 and you sit silent. I mean, it's time to file

25 something. It's time to petition somebody.
 16

 1 You have a solicitor.

 2 Somebody's got to do something for

 3 the residents. There's really nothing left.

 4 You know, you just -- you watch it all and

 5 people will show you who they are over an

 6 extended period of time. And this is where we

 7 are.

 8 Are you ever going to do anything

 9 for the residents or are we going to talk about

10 spaghetti dinners, a minute of prayer and

11 bringing people in here -- okay, we just had a

12 small storm here.

13 We hired outside contractors. And

14 we have DPW running around in a ton and a half

15 pickup trucks trying to plow streets. How do

16 you buy equipment like that in a city? It's

17 like New York. It's like Mamdani running

18 around. And now the rich people are leaving

19 there. I mean, it's just utter incompetence.

20 Thank you.

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is

22 Les Spindler.

23 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

24 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

25 homeowner. Yeah, I think it was last month a
 17

 1 gentleman from South Side was here talking

 2 about ICE being in South Scranton.

 3 No, we don't need these murderers in

 4 our city. Donald Trump said he was sending ICE

 5 to certain areas to get rid of dangerous

 6 criminals. Well, all they did was kill two

 7 people in Minnesota and locked up a 5-year-old

 8 boy and terrorized him.

 9 I'm so afraid of a five year old.

10 He's going to go killing everybody, right? And

11 that's what he's doing. I think Council should

12 send a letter to Governor Shapiro and tell him

13 ICE is in our city because I think it was a few

14 weeks ago Governor Shapiro was on the View.

15 And I didn't see the whole part. I

16 wish I saw his whole interview. But the part I

17 saw was one of them asked him what would you do

18 because there's rumors that Donald Trump is

19 going to send ICE to Philadelphia and

20 Pittsburgh.

21 He said, well, I'll take care of

22 that if and when it comes. He said I've taken

23 Donald Trump to court 19 times. And Donald

24 Trump has lost 19 times. So I think Council

25 should send a letter to him and let him know
 18

 1 ICE is here and they're terrorizing our people

 2 in South Side.

 3 Why doesn't Donald Trump send ICE to

 4 Republican run cities, only sending them

 5 Democratic run cities. Why don't you send them

 6 to Texas? Texas borders Mexico. There's

 7 probably thousands of illegals running around

 8 Texas. But he's not sending anybody there.

 9 That's all I have on that. But I hope you

10 think about sending that letter to Governor

11 Shapiro.

12 Next thing, I read in the paper

13 where the Mayor doesn't want to have a public

14 caucus here to discuss what DPW did in that

15 storm. What are they trying to hide? If they

16 don't want to come out in public, then there's

17 something they're hiding. That's all I'm going

18 to say on that.

19 Okay, I think Council should bring

20 in police officer Joe Flesher for saving that

21 DPW worker's life a few weeks ago along with

22 the two DPW workers who saved that house and

23 give the three of them a proclamation. It's

24 well deserved. And we've done that many other

25 times with past Councils. I think those three
 19

 1 people deserve a proclamation. It would be

 2 nice to do.

 3 Okay, on the 900 block of Euclid

 4 Avenue, there's a -- it's a big pave cut. But

 5 on part of the pave cut it became a huge

 6 pothole. You have to go around it. I drive

 7 that way every single day. It's only two

 8 blocks from my house. Yeah, there's one house

 9 on that block. It's just a little before that

10 house on the right-hand side.

11 Lastly, Lee mentioned the

12 reassessment. I'm not a happy camper. I have

13 a 116-year-old house. It needs work. And I

14 did a phone appeal a few months ago. And I

15 told the guy it needs work. He said, okay,

16 send me pictures. I sent him the links he gave

17 me. My assessment came down $18.

18 I almost fell over when I saw that.

19 I got my bill last week. My taxes went up

20 $1,100 on a 116 year old house that needs work.

21 Nobody came and knocked on my door. I asked if

22 I could show them the inside of the house. I

23 didn't know when they came to assess my house.

24 Something's got to be done. I agree

25 with Lee. The city should step in and file a
 20

 1 lawsuit. It's ridiculous. I'm not the only

 2 one. It's $1,100 on my house. That's

 3 ridiculous. I'm going to have work part time

 4 until the day I die. And I'm on Social

 5 Security. I don't have that kind money to pay

 6 that now.

 7 So I hope you guys do something

 8 because I'm not the only one that needs help.

 9 Thank you for your time.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Ron

11 Ellman.

12 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Excuse me, Mr.

13 Voldenberg, will you make note of the pave cut

14 issues that --

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did, Mr.

16 McAndrew.

17 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

19 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

20 I really wasn't coming tonight. One of my

21 friends from California phoned me. He just

22 ruined my day, you know, like I don't have

23 enough problems.

24 And after reading this morning's

25 Times, those hacks that write there ought to
 21

 1 win the Guinness World Book of facts for BS

 2 about this article on our Mayor's achievements

 3 the past five years.

 4 While this brings up all of our bad

 5 streets and taxes and so on every week, it

 6 seems like the utilities every time they attack

 7 a street, the repairs are unacceptable and

 8 nothing's done. I brought up on Wells Street

 9 to the park with my dog. I thought all of that

10 tore up stuff was temporary. It's been like

11 that a year.

12 And Throop Street, it's an obstacle

13 course for one block. And it's been like that,

14 I don't know, since last year some time. And

15 that sort of reminds me, a fellow phoned me

16 last week. And he has a handicap van for a

17 wheelchair.

18 And his wife somehow she just fouled

19 up on payment. They gave him a ticket. And

20 they wouldn't accept her excuse as what

21 happened. That's why I said if somebody has a

22 handicap plate on a vehicle, for God's sake

23 it's not going to cost these people that you

24 gave 2 million dollars to a thing to accept it.

25 The more I -- you know, I'm an
 22

 1 independent. But I just -- I listened to Les

 2 and to be truthful, I'm very disillusioned with

 3 Mr. Trump. I sure wouldn't vote for Gavin. So

 4 I don't know where I'd be.

 5 But I think if Paige Cognetti had a

 6 nose like Pinocchio, it would like look like a

 7 baseball bat hanging from her head. She and

 8 the truth are total strangers.

 9 And it seems like the Lackawanna

10 County Democratic party can find somebody

11 better than this in a city this size, in a

12 county this size. Thank you.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone

14 else like to address Council?

15 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

16 First tonight I beg your indulgence. There's

17 no flag out front -- out front I noticed.

18 Today is the completion of the fourth year of

19 the war in Ukraine and entering into the fifth

20 year.

21 Ukraine was invaded at 8:40 p.m. on

22 February 23, 2022 eastern time. The world

23 expected as did Putin the rapid collapse and

24 rolling over as it was a special -- as a 72

25 hour special operation. But here we are due to
 23

 1 the strength and will of the people of Ukraine

 2 and day 1,462 of a 72 hour operation.

 3 Unfortunately for the last year,

 4 we've given almost nothing to Ukraine in this

 5 fight. We've chastised the Ukrainian President

 6 for not wearing a suit while giving a red

 7 carpet greeting to Putin, a man accused of war

 8 crimes.

 9 We've offered to allow Europe to

10 purchase US weapons to give to Ukraine as our

11 participation and then refused to send them.

12 Even when the US is reduced to a gunrunner

13 status, we refuse to support Ukraine.

14 I'm sure some of this will ruffle

15 feathers as it seems political, but the prior

16 administration was also at fault by trickling

17 in supplies, restricting the use of them. And

18 instead of leading, choosing nondecisions that

19 led to confusion of purpose and direction and

20 prompted ununified intercountry and internation

21 aid disputes.

22 Our county stood as a bastian of the

23 founding principles in the past. We now ask

24 for Ukraine to give up its lands and people.

25 We no longer hear and honor the words from the
 24

 1 birth of this nation. Is life so dear or peace

 2 so sweet as to be purchased at the price of

 3 chains of slavery forbid all mighty God, I know

 4 not what course others might take, but as for

 5 me, give me liberty or give me death, Patrick

 6 Henry.

 7 And stand your ground. Don't fire

 8 unless fired upon. But if they mean to have a

 9 war, let it begin here, Captain John Parker,

10 1775.

11 We've been a nation of freedom of

12 principle and honor. I hope we could recapture

13 that footing again and not turn our back on

14 injustice and suffering and may we reflect on

15 this start of the fifth year of the war. And

16 may God bless Ukraine.

17 Now to city business, Monday morning

18 we had a fraction of an inch of snow and dry

19 roads. Why did Mayor Cognetti close City Hall

20 Monday morning at 6 a.m.? I've seen more snow

21 and frost in a freezer that needed quick

22 defrosting.

23 The county was open. The schools

24 were open. Why was the City Hall closed? Now

25 on the Scranton Architectural Board denial for
 25

 1 the (inaudible) demolition and condemnation of

 2 the building.

 3 The recommendation now goes before

 4 this body next week for the upholding or

 5 overturning. Getting out in front of this

 6 limited five minute speech, I requested City

 7 Council validate the HARB decision. The HARB

 8 board ruled on the subject based on its

 9 purview.

10 City Council and the Mayor all have

11 a direct conflict as we are in a purchase

12 agreement with the Fidelity Bank next door and

13 it could be viewed as direct financial

14 conflicts. Let it get struck down and then

15 Fidelity can argue it in an impartial court.

16 They purchased the building for

17 cheap at sheriff's sale, had no intention of

18 fixing it or a need for it as they've stated.

19 Due diligence would show it was banned for what

20 they intended and they wanted to demolition

21 over a parking lot as we know it's banned in

22 Center City by the new zoning code.

23 The board approved -- except for

24 when you're the University of Scranton or

25 selling a building to the city it seems. The
 26

 1 zoning board approved a parking lot exception

 2 for the old shoe store that burned down. And

 3 the city tried to sue to remove that zoning

 4 variance.

 5 There's ample parking in the garage

 6 and on the block for the building they already

 7 own. I could be wrong, but it seems like an

 8 intentional purpose knowing the city was going

 9 to buy the building next door. And it lacked

10 sufficient parking just to create a parking

11 space that does not need to sell at a premium

12 to the city as the city could use the increased

13 space for the new building that they're trying

14 to purchase.

15 For all the above risks of

16 impropriety, I would not introduce it or if you

17 must, rubber stamp the denial and let the Court

18 deal with the arguments. Thank you and good

19 night.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

21 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie

22 Schumacher. First, could somebody tell me --

23 now we saw in the paper what -- how much -- how

24 many gallons of water are involved in this

25 thing. Anything that parallels that that you
 27

 1 know?

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: No, I believe

 3 Mr. Flynn asked that question in the caucus.

 4 And we haven't been given that information yet.

 5 MS. SCHUMACHER: You didn't.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: We didn't receive any

 7 of that information yet.

 8 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, are we going to

 9 get it?

10 MR. SCHUSTER: We could reach out to

11 find out, yeah.

12 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Has anybody

13 been up to the Lookout to see the picture

14 and -- that I gave you last week?

15 MR. SCHUSTER: No, I saw the

16 pictures but I didn't take a trip up there

17 since last week.

18 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Does anybody

19 have any idea on how to stop that or how to

20 clean it up to what it should be? I mean, it's

21 just unbelievable to me that it could be there

22 for so many decades with nothing and now here

23 we are and it's just disgusting. Can we find

24 out?

25 MR. SCHUSTER: We can.
 28

 1 MS. SCHUMACHER: Thank you. I think

 2 that's enough for tonight. Thank you.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

 4 you.

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

 6 MOTIONS.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you

 8 have any motions or comments?

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. I have a

10 few. First, I also wanted to thank the DPW

11 workers who were able to help stop the fire and

12 alert everyone to it and keep people from

13 getting hurt, greatly appreciate them going

14 above and beyond their job.

15 And I agree with the recommendations

16 for the proclamations for them as well as some

17 of our other workers and the firefighter

18 recently -- I'm sorry, the police officer

19 recently who've -- many of these people who've

20 gone above and beyond and had heroic acts

21 within our city. We appreciate them.

22 And to Miss Hodowanitz's point about

23 there never being a show about DPW workers,

24 there was a Parks and Rec show. So maybe there

25 will be one about a DPW department somewhere
 29

 1 eventually.

 2 I did receive a response on the

 3 questions I had regarding the Green Ridge

 4 Street bridge and the response that I received

 5 regarding the timeline on the completion of

 6 that project was that currently the schedule

 7 shows sidewalks on both sides opening in

 8 midJune.

 9 From there we will be completing

10 final pavement using daytime traffic control

11 patterns. The contractor would demobilize from

12 the site by midSeptember and there's a

13 possibility this could push later as the

14 contractor has some float in their schedule

15 until the required completion on November 3rd.

16 So hopefully it would be September

17 rather than waiting until November. But that's

18 the response I received and what the pubic can

19 anticipate for that project. And I had a

20 question when we had the caucus with PA

21 American Water.

22 And the question that I had was

23 about the intersection of East Gibson Street

24 and North Webster Avenue and the ongoing

25 project there. I didn't receive any further
 30

 1 information from them as I asked during the

 2 caucus.

 3 So, Mr. Voldenberg, I would just ask

 4 that we check back with them again regarding

 5 that intersection.

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr.

 7 Rothchild.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I

 9 appreciate it. And one last thing that I want

10 to note, I know it's been brought up a number

11 of times over the past few weeks regarding ICE

12 in our city. And I had asked some questions

13 too of our police department.

14 But I did want to make mention of

15 something that had happened to a resident

16 recently someone who is a member of the

17 University of Scranton community. And there

18 was actually an article in the Aquinas, which

19 is the student newspaper for the University of

20 Scranton, one which I had the pleasure of being

21 the photo editor of when I was there in college

22 as well as a columnist.

23 So this person had wrote about the

24 person's experience and they remained anonymous

25 so they didn't provide a name of the person who
 31

 1 experienced this. But it's quite scarey. And

 2 so ICE is here in our city and operating.

 3 And the way in which they had pulled

 4 the person over and the way that they

 5 approached them, it's sounds like a very scary

 6 experience. And there is one thing that the

 7 person reported that -- that in particular

 8 struck me. And that was that there are

 9 multiple officers surrounding the car.

10 I hear one in the back say I think

11 we got the wrong person. And the other one

12 says they all look the same. We got to get

13 this one. So I just wanted to leave you with

14 those comments there. And those are some of

15 the things that we're looking at here.

16 And I think a reason -- not to be

17 scared -- not to -- I would never fear monger,

18 but it scares me for our city. So that's all.

19 Thank you.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Sean

21 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?

22 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yes. First, I'm

23 going to do a recap of the questions I asked

24 last week. I did ask for that snow report. I

25 did read in the article later in the week that
 32

 1 the Mayor and her department -- or her team

 2 decided to give us a snow report.

 3 We just received it this afternoon

 4 right before -- about an hour before our

 5 meeting. So we have it. You know, I'll go

 6 through it and look into it. But, Frank, can

 7 we have this put on the website by the end of

 8 the day tomorrow so the public can see it?

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

10 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. So I

11 appreciate them for finally coming together and

12 putting that report together for us. And we

13 all want to learn and work together. I think

14 this will be the best step forward for future

15 storms.

16 Next, I did ask for if DPW, the

17 director and some supervisors, just those guys,

18 not, you know, a bunch of other people from

19 different department come in for a caucus. The

20 answer I got was request received. So the

21 important part that I was hoping to get is,

22 what is the answer; is it a yes or a no?

23 So can you ask them thank you for

24 acknowledging the -- receiving the request; but

25 will they be coming in March, yes or no?
 33

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

 2 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right.

 3 Next, the e-mail saga that was going on with

 4 e-mails not coming through from the district to

 5 us. I want to thank Jack Reager, the IT

 6 Director for giving us a nice detailed report

 7 in the answers. I really appreciate his hard

 8 work on that. I'm not going to go into too

 9 much into it because our e-mails, you know,

10 confidential issues with, you know, talking

11 about e-mails.

12 But I will say there's 148 e-mails

13 that did not go through in a matter of a few

14 days. They still have not gone through. So

15 that would be my only question. The ones that,

16 you know, were held up because of an issue, why

17 aren't they checked and then sent.

18 There's a lot of e-mails coming from

19 the district who, you know, is a partner of

20 ours that could be very important and need to

21 get where they need to go. So, Mr. Voldenberg,

22 is there something we could have Mr. Reager

23 look into to have those checked and released so

24 the recipients finally get those e-mails?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
 34

 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right.

 2 Next, I asked if the city had a safety and

 3 security assessment done with, you know, in

 4 City Hall. You know, there's a lot of

 5 commotion about the locked doors and no guards

 6 at the door.

 7 So I wanted to know if they had a

 8 security assessment done. I received an answer

 9 saying yes they had one completed. So I was

10 wishing they gave me a little more of who

11 completed it and when it was completed to see

12 if it needs an update. So can you ask those

13 questions to ask when it was completed and by

14 who?

15 And, yes, that might be something we

16 might have to keep confidential, but if we

17 could get a copy of it or even shown it in

18 executive or something. That's a reason for

19 executive session because it's security. I

20 would be glad to see that.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that

22 information.

23 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And

24 then I did get a resident's request it's 705

25 West Elm Street. I guess they were watching
 35

 1 the caucus with American Water. And there was

 2 some utilities. The American Water project

 3 tore up their sidewalk. It never got fully

 4 repaired.

 5 So I'll have an e-mail with pictures

 6 and stuff that I could send you after the

 7 meeting if you could pass that forward.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Thank you.

 9 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. And

10 again, I also want to thank our DPW workers for

11 their fast action. I'm definitely in favor of

12 recognizing them and Mr. Flesher as soon as

13 possible in City Hall Chambers because they do

14 a great job every day, but they were heros that

15 day, all three of them. So thank them all for

16 the hard work. And thanks, everybody, have a

17 good week.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Mark

19 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?

20 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a

21 couple. So I also want to provide kudos to the

22 DPW workers that put out the fire like it was

23 their job. And then like Joan said, they just

24 moved on. And, you know, I'm here long enough

25 to see some people like to take shots at the
 36

 1 DPW.

 2 I'm not one of them. I don't like

 3 it. I don't support it. But it speaks volumes

 4 to me that these guys during the course of

 5 their workday stumble upon a fire and just

 6 spring to action and put it out. We definitely

 7 need to recognize them and we will. We will.

 8 And I want to personally thank them.

 9 Secondly, couple weeks ago I brought

10 up the parking lot that's on Main Avenue,

11 remember Parks and Recs say had a

12 responsibility for removing the snow. And I

13 asked you to inquire what looked like abandoned

14 vehicles.

15 And I know you sent that to the

16 police department or highways. I took a ride

17 by it today because I'm still getting some

18 people reaching out to me concerned about them

19 cars. I'm not sure which ones are abandoned.

20 But can you ask what the status of that is?

21 I know there's a process, you know,

22 at least 30 days, you tag it. But could you

23 find out if that occurred so I could relay this

24 to the residents that are still concerned about

25 it?
 37

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yeah, they're

 2 actively pursuing the owners and for removal of

 3 the cars that haven't been moved in weeks.

 4 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right.

 5 Thank you.

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: But I'll follow up

 7 for an updated status.

 8 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you,

 9 because it's a parking lot. It's not like it,

10 you know, when people bring it to our attention

11 and it's in front of someone's house. And, you

12 know, they could go knock on the door.

13 I don't know how they -- outside of

14 just tagging it and researching and trying to

15 find these people, like, there's no door to

16 knock on. So if you just get me a status or an

17 update, I appreciate it very much.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

19 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. And also, I

20 received -- Mr. Voldenberg, I sent this over to

21 you. But the gentleman responded again. So

22 1600 block of Pettibone Street between Rebecca

23 Avenue and North Garfield has many trailers and

24 trucks parked on both sides.

25 I know there's a new ordinance. I
 38

 1 know that, you know, it's not allowed. There's

 2 fines for it. And after reading this I

 3 remember this being an issue before that I

 4 might have brought up or heard being brought

 5 up, not recently, maybe a year ago or longer.

 6 So you got the e-mail, right? I'm

 7 assuming. I know that you did, I think. So

 8 they want that, you know, get some feedback

 9 from that, get it taken care of because school

10 buses are having trouble backing up there and

11 getting through.

12 Sometimes it could be clear, but

13 most times if these vehicles are there,

14 including some cars, it causes very -- traffic

15 flow problems. It's a public safety issue. So

16 we have to take care of it. There's also no

17 curb there as well. So that's -- please, need

18 to take a look at that.

19 And also, there's a stop sign on

20 Garfield and Pettibone that is falling down.

21 So if somebody could, you know, send somebody

22 to take a look at that and rectify that.

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

24 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right.

25 Thank you very much. That's all I have.
 39

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr.

 2 Flynn, do you have any motions or comment?

 3 MR. FLYNN: I do. Thank you. So

 4 last week brought back up the pave cut issues

 5 going on in the 16, 1700 blocks of Wyoming

 6 Avenue as well as the ones on Electric Street.

 7 I got a response that the cuts are being

 8 addressed.

 9 Pennoni has been sent out and they

10 have contacted the respective utilities. Also

11 was told that the gas company proactively

12 reached out to the city said we know it's a

13 mess over there. We're going to work on it

14 soon.

15 On Friday they did go and had some

16 hot mix asphalt and do some of the pave cuts on

17 the 1600 block of Wyoming. 1700 block I was

18 told was done. I haven't driven by there yet.

19 But they still haven't done Wyoming Avenue yet

20 either.

21 I'm grateful that they started doing

22 this work. It was a nightmare over there. But

23 if we could stay on top of them, Mr.

24 Voldenberg, to get the remainder of that work

25 finished up. It's very hazardous over there.
 40

 1 I really appreciate it.

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

 3 MR. FLYNN: Also, so we had Grow

 4 America come in for a caucus tonight. And one

 5 of the things that I discussed with them was

 6 the parking garages during the snowstorms and

 7 going down -- them taking them down to $6 for

 8 the daily parking and why not after all I

 9 believe that we as a city and taxpayers did for

10 them last year, not make it free for the

11 snowstorm for that 24 to 48 hours.

12 They have a multitude of empty

13 spaces in their parking garages. It would help

14 the city out to get the cars off the streets,

15 better enhance the plowing for the city and the

16 gentleman said that part of the concession

17 agreement with the city from years ago was that

18 $6 -- deduction to the $6 fee during a

19 snowstorm and snow emergency.

20 But then, you know, on Facebook and

21 whatnot for the past two snowstorms from what I

22 gathered, it seems like it was former Mayor

23 Wayne Evans reaching out to members of the

24 Parking Authority Board and the company to ask

25 them to bring it down to $6 fee and that's how
 41

 1 it happened.

 2 So I'm little confused if it was

 3 part of the concession agreement, why we had to

 4 proactively reach out to Grow America to get

 5 the $6 fee. So, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could

 6 clarify that for me with the administration if

 7 it's in the concession agreement and if not --

 8 and if it is, why we even have to proactively

 9 reach out to them to get that fee and hoping as

10 the gentleman said he would look into for

11 snowstorms in future and a good faith

12 arrangement to bring it down to a zero dollar

13 fee for that timeframe.

14 I would really hope that happens

15 after all we -- all we did as a city and as

16 taxpayers. So, Mr. Voldenberg, I e-mailed you

17 about this; but I would love to follow up

18 Bulwer Street leading up to Tripp School before

19 you get to through the gates to get up the hill

20 to Tripp School on Bulwer there, some massive

21 potholes.

22 I took a drive over there and saw

23 them myself. That's the route that the buses

24 take in and out of Tripp School. I know some

25 of the bus drivers were starting to complain
 42

 1 about the dangerous hazardous conditions over

 2 there. I know that we were told that they were

 3 going to take care of it.

 4 It hasn't been done as of yet. But

 5 if we could continue following up and make sure

 6 this is addressed as soon as possible, I would

 7 appreciate it.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 9 MR. FLYNN: So just more of a

10 process question on the pave cuts to get a

11 clearer view and process from the

12 administration as to what occurs. So a pave

13 cut is failing.

14 The city -- the third party

15 inspector for the city goes out, notices it's

16 failing and in need of repair. They then reach

17 out to the utility company saying, hey, this is

18 your pave cut. You need to fix this. How long

19 does that process go on for and then how long

20 after that process -- after the pave cut

21 inspector makes contact with the utility

22 company and addresses the situation does that

23 utility company have to come and get -- get

24 that taken care of.

25 So really from the moment to 311 or
 43

 1 whatever other avenues someone takes to discuss

 2 and address a failing pave cut to the time it

 3 has to be completed, how long is that window

 4 and what are -- the different steps, how long

 5 do they usually take, looking for averages, if

 6 need be.

 7 But if we could get the

 8 administration to sort of give us that timeline

 9 I would appreciate it.

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that.

11 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. And then one

12 final thing that I would just like to put on

13 the record, been e-mailing back and forth for

14 quite some time. And, Mr. Voldenberg, you and

15 I have been addressing this quite a bit.

16 But the noise issues and the base

17 issues on the 1800 and 1900 block of Prospect

18 Street with an autistic family member and the

19 loud base going on there, if we as a Council

20 could look into getting some signage placed on

21 that street making individuals aware of

22 autistic individuals living in the area and the

23 impact that the base levels have on them and

24 the noise levels, I would appreciate that if we

25 could see if that's a possibility for us as a
 44

 1 Council to address and get that signage up.

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

 3 MR. FLYNN: All right. That's all I

 4 have. Thank you.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 6 Over the past couple of weeks we talked about

 7 different caucuses. We had PA Water come in

 8 two weeks ago. We had Grow America come in

 9 tonight. Next week we're going to have

10 NeighborWorks. They're going to be coming in

11 for caucus.

12 And on 10th, we're going to have the

13 Social Contract is going to come in with the

14 administration. So those are some caucuses we

15 asked for. Some other ones that we've asked

16 for were Open Gov, possibility of the company

17 that did our HUP test and the third party pave

18 cut company.

19 So Pennoni, I did ask about Pennoni

20 about them coming in for a caucus and the

21 administration said that they would reach out

22 and get their availability. So some of those

23 questions you just brought up, Mr. Flynn, would

24 be good questions to ask them in caucus.

25 So we'll see what date we could get
 45

 1 from them and have them in to discuss all of

 2 our pave cut issues. Some questions came up

 3 tonight about PA Water. I know Dr. Rothchild

 4 brought up one and one was brought up in Fourth

 5 Order about the volumes of water that may be

 6 used in Lake Scranton.

 7 And I do know that Mr. Flynn had

 8 asked that during caucus. So if we could just

 9 reach back out to American Water, some of the

10 questions that we had asked during that caucus

11 session and see if we could get the responses

12 from them.

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

15 I do know that the administration did reach out

16 with a plan for the Lookout and a cost for the

17 repairs at the Lookout. And I know that it's

18 not going to happen during the deep snow and

19 the cold season right now.

20 And I would imagine that it's going

21 to happen in the Spring. Can we just ask for

22 an update on what the plans are for the

23 Lookout?

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Also
 46

 1 Fourth Order, it was brought up about the

 2 conditions of the road. Now that -- right now

 3 where we have a detour on Main Avenue where

 4 we're replacing the bridge, I have used that

 5 detour several times. The condition of Wells

 6 Street, Marvin Avenue coming -- like, it's

 7 going to be Wells and it's going to be Marvin.

 8 The conditions are pretty poor.

 9 There are a lot of potholes in that area. Can

10 we see possibly when the last time it was paved

11 and if there are any plans for paving those

12 areas? I do know with construction on North

13 Main Avenue, they were waiting for a full

14 restoration.

15 So I don't know if it may be part of

16 that project in that area, but if we could just

17 ask.

18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

19 Schuster.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. While I'm

21 on the topics of caucus, last year we did bring

22 in the SRA Director. She had been employed by

23 the city as the Director for the SRA for about

24 a year. And we didn't really know what kind of

25 actions were happening with the SRA.
 47

 1 She has since left. We have a new

 2 director. But can we reach out to the

 3 administration and see now that Mr. Cutillo is

 4 Director of the SRA if he could come in for a

 5 caucus as well and talk about possibility, what

 6 the plans for that authority are, what has been

 7 done over the last year, and where we're going

 8 with that authority?

 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll set that up.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Two more

11 requests, Mr. Voldenberg. I'm sorry, I'm

12 throwing a lot at you. Can we get a five year

13 list of the historic pilots paid by the

14 University of Scranton? And then the second

15 one is, there was some light requests. One was

16 on St. Francis Cabrini Avenue.

17 I know that our office sent out the

18 petitions for the lights to be requested at St.

19 Francis Cabrini Avenue. And there was also a

20 light request at the Battaglia Novembrino

21 baseball field for a light to be posted on the

22 pole leading down those -- leading down the

23 staircase from Novembrino down to Battaglia

24 field?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up.
 48

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

 2 very much. That's all I have for tonight.

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

 4 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - AUTHORIZING THE

 5 MAYOR AND OTHER APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO

 6 APPROVE THE EXECUTION AND SUBMISSION OF THE

 7 GRANT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY

 8 OF SCRANTON AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF

 9 PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR

10 FUNDS ESTIMATED TO BE APPROXIMATELY $269,400.00

11 FROM THE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION FUND GRANT

12 TO BE USED TOWARDS THE INSTALLATION AND
