11 until noon. Registration is required online.

12 The event is free for Scranton residents only.

13 But it's an electronics recycling

14 event. Also, I got a call today about the St.

15 Francis of Assisi Kitchen. So they serve

16 dinner seven days a week from 11 to 12 and

17 three nights at the 500 of Penn Ave.

18 They were asking for some support.

19 They do need some donations and some volunteers

20 for Thanksgiving. And the number there is

21 570-342-5556. And again, they're asking for

22 donations and support to get their pantry up to

23 stock for Thanksgiving.

24 MR. KING: Mr. President, I know

25 that we have this handout from Mr. Voldenberg.

 1 So notice is hereby given the Scranton City

 2 Council to hold department work sessions on

 3 following dates and time.

 4 This evening we had Business

 5 Administrator here along with Information

 6 Technology, Human Resources and Bureau of

 7 Treasury and Law Department all speaking on the

 8 2026 budget.

 9 On Tuesday, November 18th at 5:30

10 p.m., the Office of Economic and Community

11 Development, Parks and Rec Department, and

12 Department of Public Works will be here.

13 On Tuesday, November 25th, Scranton

14 Police Department, Scranton Fire Department

15 and the Mayor's office will present. The

16 purpose of the work sessions is to discuss the

17 2026 operating budget. Thank you.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

20 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

21 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.

22 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

23 Scranton. I have quite a bit to say. So if

24 you have a response, please hold it until Fifth

25 Order.
 6

 1 With regard to the amendment to the

 2 zoning ordinance, I'd like to know is this a

 3 first heard for the residents near the hospital

 4 and, if not, what do they have to say?

 5 And now, the budget. I did spend

 6 quite a lot of time studying each line of the

 7 budget and I prepared spreadsheets for you. I

 8 have many questions which could have been

 9 answered if -- some of them could have if I

10 could have accessed prior audits and union

11 contracts.

12 But guess what, they're no longer on

13 the city website. Imagine that. I'd like to

14 know why they're no longer on the website and

15 when they are going to be reposted. This is

16 not a good time to do that. When you look at

17 the spreadsheets, one of the reasons I did that

18 was because I wanted to show the variances how

19 much something went up or down and the

20 percentage.

21 Anything that goes over 10 percent

22 deserves your attention and should be either

23 self-evident, like, maybe they hired a new guy

24 or, you know, they need to footnote it and say

25 what's going on like that, 175,000 dollars of
 7

 1 postage and freight in the Treasury Department.

 2 You know, hey, I'm just supposed to suck that

 3 up? No way. That's why God invented the

 4 footnote and you need to tell them that.

 5 Pay raises, as you know, most of the

 6 pay raises for the union people are tied into

 7 their contracts. You'll see a lot of 3

 8 percents in there, some 4 percents for the

 9 nonunion personnel. And that's fine. You will

10 see some big numbers when it comes to

11 department heads.

12 And DPW will be here next week. But

13 I still will tell you that even though it's

14 important to offer a good salary to recruit and

15 retain good people, you still need to factor in

16 performance evaluations. And I'm thinking

17 mostly about how many people have we had as

18 department heads in the past.

19 And I got to tell you, some of them

20 could not find their way out of a paper bag if

21 you gave them a flashlight and a strip map. So

22 when you start seeing the thousands of dollars

23 offered to department heads, make sure we get

24 someone that has the skill set.

25 Reassessment, what happens if the
 8

 1 county pauses reassessment? And do you have a

 2 plan B? If so, what is it? Healthcare, you

 3 saw in the narrative that the city says it's up

 4 8.48 percent.

 5 And that varies from clerical went

 6 up 17 percent, police and Single Tax Office 12

 7 percent, fire 4 percent, nonunion 8 percent;

 8 and then there is DPW which went up 5 percent.

 9 And I said, how could that be? They don't have

10 a contract. So I managed to get a copy of the

11 contract that expired last December.

12 And it says that the DPW union can

13 adopt the health insurance provisions of

14 another union. Is that what they did because

15 under DPW admin, you'll see it went up 2

16 million dollars. And that can't be for their

17 nonunion people. So because when you get to

18 the pay salaries, it's flat, no increases are

19 shown. So I'd like to know what happened

20 there.

21 Five new positions, well, I have a

22 different math. If you go to page 54, the

23 second last page of the budget where you see

24 the total for the payroll, for this year there

25 were 522 employees, for next year 529. That's
 9

 1 seven people.

 2 What happened to the other two if

 3 there are only five new positions being

 4 recommended? And let's see, what else. Oh,

 5 Social Security, you see my technical advisor

 6 over there, he tells me the police don't pay

 7 Social Security.

 8 But it's in there under their

 9 section $509,000 which at 6.2 percent equates

10 to a salary of 8 million two hundred and ten

11 thousand dollars. What is going on? Who's

12 being -- having Social Security deducted from

13 their pay? I want to know.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan.

15 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg?

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: Can you get all of

18 those questions and have them for next week

19 since we have those departments coming in?

20 Thank you.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

22 MR. MANCINI: Good evening,

23 everyone, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight the

24 gloves are off. I know the kindness of our

25 citizens. And I'm knuckled up for them. I get
 10

 1 stronger every round with this Council.

 2 Hinge and cringe to my every word.

 3 I strongly suggest that each of you get a piece

 4 of paper and something to write with, prove

 5 that you care about your city and its citizens.

 6 It's not the person that speaks before Council.

 7 It's the words they choose and the questions

 8 that need answers like 73 opioid-related deaths

 9 in the last five years without one prosecution.

10 Do any of you wish to investigate

11 this any further? What about the families

12 without justice? There are 10,072 charged with

13 a crime, only 1,982 arrested in five years.

14 Did you even care about the safety of our city

15 or its great police officers?

16 There are over 1,000 criminal

17 warrants just sitting. Are any of you even

18 concerned? When you refuse to answer important

19 questions because of the speaker, you only

20 make an ass out of yourselves. Each of you is

21 guilty as charged.

22 When you refuse to answer questions,

23 it shows your true character. Each of you only

24 care about yourselves. Prove everyone wrong.

25 They see it too. There was a ceremony at the
 11

 1 University of Scranton for former Mayor Wenzel

 2 on November 5th, 40 years to the day he was

 3 elected, not one of you wished to show your

 4 face.

 5 Is it because Mayor Wenzel was a

 6 Republican? Well, he was a true friend of

 7 Scranton and a war hero who led by example.

 8 Each of you needs to strive to become more like

 9 him.

10 Each of you could ask Mr. Voldenberg

11 about a pothole or a blighted property. They

12 are everywhere. Not one of you utilizes his

13 excellent skill set. Start answering

14 questions, getting answers, because my words,

15 my voice could become very sharp and

16 descriptive.

17 To Sean McAndrew and Patrick Flynn,

18 remember my words when you are sworn in. The

19 good people of Scranton come first. Lead by

20 example. City Council desperately needs those

21 willing to get answers and have real solutions.

22 The only answers we get from Dr.

23 Rothchild other than a pothole or a blighted

24 property are about the unhoused task force.

25 She states they meet or will meet again. When?
 12

 1 When will be the next meeting? The public

 2 would like to be present to see firsthand when

 3 the Mayor starts a meeting without the National

 4 Anthem.

 5 Now she's onward to better things.

 6 Have you ever considered asking the school

 7 district to share services like a gymnasium

 8 when it's cold out? What about Colts helping

 9 to shuttle the homeless to somewhere inviting

10 and warm instead of shivering outdoors.

11 Have you even considered a windchill

12 factor as an option for code blue? When your

13 heart's in the right place and you care, you

14 ask these questions and demand answers. It's

15 time for each of you to better represent the

16 good people of Scranton.

17 There are two seats up for

18 reelection in less than two years. I would

19 highly recommend you start representing those

20 who elected you. I will be eyeing that seat,

21 Dr. Rothchild or the Mayor's chair, whichever

22 comes first. In the meantime, I will stay

23 knuckled up.

24 I'm willing to ask the right

25 questions, demand answers for the good people
 13

 1 of Scranton. I fight for them. Enough

 2 disrespecting those chairs and who sat in them

 3 before you. It's time to knuckle up or get

 4 voted out.

 5 I operate on a different level. I

 6 love my city. I care about its citizens.

 7 Scranton does not serve mediocre or crickets.

 8 Next week, what a supermajority Council can

 9 accomplish. Good evening, everyone.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les

11 Spindler.

12 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

13 Council, Les Spindler, city resident,

14 homeowner. Last week I forgot to talk about

15 this. About two weeks ago, Dr. Patricia

16 Sperling, a/k/a Dr. Paws passed away. She was

17 a wonderful person. My wife and I have been

18 going to her with our pets for 36 years.

19 She started off at the Scranton Dog

20 and Cat Hospital on Providence Road with Dr.

21 Dorton. And she left there to go on her own.

22 She didn't have an office yet, so she rented an

23 RV and used the RV for her office until she got

24 her own spot which is now on 7th Avenue.

25 Dr. Sperling was -- she cared so
 14

 1 much for the animals. She worked hard with the

 2 Griffin Pond to get animals adopted, not only

 3 was she a great veterinarian, she was a better

 4 person.

 5 And like I said, my wife and I took

 6 our dogs and cats there for 36 years. And we

 7 considered her a very good friend. I just went

 8 to her service before and they had a viewing.

 9 My wife and I are going to miss her terribly.

10 And I know her husband Dave who ran the place

11 well. Rest in peace, Dr. Sperling.

12 Next thing, on the Mayor's

13 acceptance speech she said she believes in

14 transparency. Well, that's not true because

15 when I asked a while back why she replaced

16 Police Chief Namiotka she said, oh, it's a

17 personnel issue. I can't talk about it.

18 Then I asked about Tom Preambo why

19 he was replaced. Personnel issue, I can't talk

20 about it. That's not transparency. That tells

21 me you're hiding something. So whatever she

22 says, you can't believe a word of it.

23 Next thing, finally the government

24 shutdown ended. When Congress was out of work

25 for 52 days and they kept collecting their
 15

 1 paychecks. Meanwhile, people lost their SNAP

 2 benefits, other benefits. They were still

 3 collecting their paychecks. People couldn't

 4 put meals on their tables. It's a crime.

 5 Next year when the midterm elections

 6 come, we got to vote all of these Republicans

 7 out of office because they were the problem.

 8 They didn't care about these people that

 9 couldn't put food on their plates. And Rob

10 Bresnahan, he's a millionaire and he was

11 sitting home for 52 days collecting a paycheck.

12 So next year when's he up for

13 reelection, if he's not voted out of office,

14 that will be a crime. Lastly, just down on

15 North Main Avenue and -- no, South Main Avenue

16 and Jackson Street, there's a business called

17 King of Kings Electronics.

18 In front of their store there is a

19 pave cut. It turned into a pothole. I talked

20 about this this summer and it's still not

21 fixed. And it's terrible. You got to either

22 go around it which you can't because there's

23 usually traffic coming the other way or you

24 have to slow -- go really slow or you're going

25 to probably blow out a tire or whatever.
 16

 1 So there were other spots that's

 2 right there too. They were filled in. They

 3 missed this one. So hopefully DPW could fill

 4 that in. That's all I have tonight. Thank you

 5 for your time.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, can

 8 we send that pothole in? There was a rather

 9 large one in front of that. I put it into the

10 pothole portal that we have to get filled in.

11 But it opened back up.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out

13 tomorrow.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

15 MR. SMURL: Ann Kwiatkowski.

16 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: Hi. Good evening.

17 I'd like to speak to something that I think has

18 come up --

19 MR. SMURL: Can you pull the

20 microphone up, please?

21 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: Sure.

22 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

23 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: -- that's come up

24 in other meetings and that's the

25 tractor-trailers on North Main Avenue and going
 17

 1 into the neighborhoods. I don't know if you

 2 happened to see the e-mail that I sent. I sent

 3 it to Dr. Rothchild but didn't get a response.

 4 And then I sent it to Mr. Voldenberg. And I

 5 hope that he sent it to you.

 6 I'm very -- and my neighbors are

 7 very happy to hear that PennDOT is working on

 8 improving the signage on Main Avenue and

 9 Lackawanna Avenue. But I'd like to ask for

10 something else in addition.

11 Would it be possible for us to get a

12 sign on the corner of North Main and West

13 Gibson saying no trucks? I don't know if that

14 would be the city or if that would be included

15 in the PennDOT work. But I'm the last house on

16 West Gibson before you -- before the dead end.

17 Mine is the last corner.

18 So when the tractor-trailers come

19 over West Gibson, they go to the end and they

20 have nowhere else to go and they turn right

21 through my front yard because they can't make

22 their -- they're huge. They can't make the

23 corner.

24 My sidewalk is all broken. I don't

25 ever have it replaced because it's just going
 18

 1 to continue to be broken. So I was wondering

 2 if we could get a sign there that says no

 3 trucks so that when they turn their head to the

 4 left and think they're going to be able to make

 5 that left corner, they could see that sign and

 6 maybe will think twice about it. I don't know

 7 if that would be city or, like I said, PennDOT.

 8 MR. MCANDREW: So I brought this up

 9 the past two weeks and the past three years.

10 So the response I did get back from

11 administration because I said PennDOT and the

12 city has to get together. The signage has to

13 be more clear and earlier for these trucks,

14 whether it's Lackawanna, coming down Main

15 because the GPS is sending them up your street

16 thinking they could get to Keyser.

17 And it just doesn't -- you can't get

18 to Keyser from there. So, Mr. Voldenberg, can

19 you -- the response I got is they're working on

20 it. And I'm taking them at their word. Could

21 you please within the request we've already

22 sent if that -- because they're going to do a

23 traffic study or at least I hope the City

24 Engineer because they're involved now that a

25 sign be considered for that street -- Gibson.
 19

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was part of

 2 the request. The city and PennDOT are looking

 3 at the overall project.

 4 MR. MCANDREW: I know.

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: But I said in the

 6 interim if DPW could erect the signs at West

 7 Gibson and --

 8 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: That would be

 9 great. At Farr, at least they could go out and

10 turn around in Emiliani's there and maybe come

11 back out and then go back the other way on

12 Main. But, like I said, when they get to the

13 end of West Gibson, there is nowhere for them

14 to go.

15 MR. KING: You're at the corner of

16 North Filmore and West Gibson.

17 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: No, no, West

18 Gibson and North Garfield.

19 MR. MCANDREW: I know where you're

20 at. That's tight. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

21 It's ridiculous.

22 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: West Gibson is

23 really --

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: And I included the

25 photos and the damaged curb line.
 20

 1 MR. MCANDREW: All right. We --

 2 we'll stay on it.

 3 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: That would be

 4 great. I didn't know if there was something

 5 that I needed to do to request that.

 6 MR. MCANDREW: It's done. It's

 7 not done. It's requested.

 8 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: Okay, I'll keep an

 9 eye.

10 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, please do.

11 MS. KWIATKOWSKI: Thank you so much.

12 MR. MCANDREW: Thanks.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all

14 for our sign-in sheet. Does anyone else wish

15 to address Council?

16 ATTY. SCACCHITTI: Good evening,

17 members of Council, Edmund Scacchitti, Arthur

18 Avenue resident. Last time I had the pleasure

19 of appearing before this body, there was a

20 super majority vote in favor of adopting the

21 new comprehensive Scranton Zoning Ordinance.

22 All of you remember the tumultuous

23 time that we had primarily with the issue of

24 the expansion or the proposed expansion zoning

25 change for Geisinger Community Medical Center.
 21

 1 We all took a deep breath and thought, thank

 2 God, we got this resolved.

 3 Those of us who live on Arthur

 4 Avenue put our head on the pillow that night

 5 and weren't concerned about the 120 foot

 6 parking garage less than 100 feet from the deck

 7 at the rear of our home.

 8 And everything appeared to be good

 9 other than the fact that, of course, the

10 property that homes were on and torn down was

11 never screened as required under the zoning

12 ordinance, but we let it slide.

13 So you're about to introduce an

14 ordinance to change back the zoning that those

15 of us who were involved in the fight -- and not

16 just the neighbors but a lot of people who love

17 the park, love the appearance of coming up

18 Mulberry Street and seeing the park, also

19 support it.

20 And it's on what I would call an

21 extreme fast track to get this done before the

22 end of the year. Now, we just had an election

23 last week where they're going to be two new

24 members to this body. I don't know what the

25 urgency is and it concerns me.
 22

 1 The fact that there seems to be a

 2 move to get this done by the end of the year

 3 would suggest to me that there is some

 4 whispering going on somewhere about what should

 5 happen here and I don't know why.

 6 The incoming members of City Council

 7 will have to live with whatever the result of

 8 this is. And I think that they should be given

 9 an opportunity to entertain the ordinance

10 amendment, fresh look, clean look and to remove

11 the suspicion in the minds of many of the

12 neighbors that there is some backroom deal

13 afoot here.

14 As I said earlier, we spent almost a

15 year putting that thing together and we came up

16 with a compromise. Just a couple things, food

17 for thought as you think about this going

18 forward, have been the practitioner of

19 municipal law for probably 40 years.

20 At that time and now remind you that

21 Geisinger like any property owner in the City

22 of Scranton who feels disaffected by some

23 zoning designation has a right to appear before

24 the Zoning Hearing Board. I've had the

25 pleasure of being in front of that board many,
 23

 1 many times in my career.

 2 And I will say one of the good

 3 things about that board is they sometime try to

 4 facilitate compromise. Well, there was no

 5 compromise in rezoning back to the 120 foot

 6 whatever it is they want to build on the 200 of

 7 Colfax and the 400 of Colfax.

 8 And that's the thing I love most

 9 about Geisinger. Does anybody really know what

10 they want to do with that property? No. They

11 are going to have a neonatal unit and that's

12 wonderful. We all applaud that. I think 20

13 units.

14 Well, you're not going to need two

15 block long 120 foot parking garages to

16 facilitate the neonatal unit. In fact, the

17 newspaper articles say that the neonatal unit

18 will be inside the main structure. But

19 Geisinger is not going to really tell you what

20 they want to do here.

21 They just want to have it so they

22 could do with it what they please down the

23 road. So I think we have two options here,

24 ladies and gentlemen. Other than a vote before

25 the end of the year, the first is to continue
 24

 1 the proceedings until after the new Council is

 2 sworn in.

 3 Or in the alternative, to deny the

 4 amendment and direct that Geisinger appear

 5 before the Zoning Hearing Board and make their

 6 case. We worked long and hard to get where we

 7 are.

 8 And we believe that it will be a

 9 manifest injustice for this body to go back and

10 undo what we did a year ago. Thank you very

11 much.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

13 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, Rik

14 Little from Scranton. Last week I went to the

15 Election Board to get the results of who won

16 the election. And they said it's unofficial,

17 come back the next week. I came back today and

18 they still didn't have the official results.

19 But I'd like to point out that

20 everybody thinks they know the results from the

21 paper. Dem Welby wins election. Cognetti

22 easily wins election. Democrats sweep three

23 Council seats. This is the Times-Tribune that

24 every -- the only thing people could read to

25 know what's going on in our local republic.

 1 And there's other all kinds of other

 2 headlines. I've seemed to have lost them here.

 3 You know, the Democrats sweep -- and this is

 4 after the whole no kings thing and the

 5 government shutdown. Anyway, this is what they

 6 gave me. And I'm asking -- from the Election

 7 Board.

 8 And I asked them, you know, how does

 9 it work with the Times-Tribune, you know, did

10 you give this to them? And their response was,

11 well, they went on our website and distilled it

12 down. And there was one page had the election

13 results. I think it was last Thursday who won.

14 But the thing that really struck me is

15 Pennsylvania.

16 Pennsylvania is the only state in

17 the union that has these positions of Judge of

18 Elections and Inspectors of Elections. And

19 it's a paid position. And I'll talk just about

20 Scranton. According to them, there is 24 wards

21 in Scranton. And they gave me the results.

22 And I'm going through it and they

23 tell you how many votes who won for Judge of

24 Elections and judge of inspectors -- Inspector

25 of Elections. But there is no name there.
 26

 1 It's just, you know, 14 write-in votes and, you

 2 know, three regular votes.

 3 And I think there should be some

 4 clarity of what exactly is going on in this

 5 area because this is, you know, it's a whiskey

 6 rebellion. Before the -- this was the only

 7 taxation without representation state.

 8 This is the first one to go crazy.

 9 And that was in whiskey rebellion with the tax

10 on people growing corn. It was right near

11 Pittsburgh. And they -- and Thomas Jefferson

12 was in Paris and he said, yeah, this a good

13 thing because, you know, they say a republic,

14 it has to be -- you know, there has to be

15 rebellion and everything.

16 But something has happened around

17 here in Lackawanna County. And the people

18 that -- I surmise in my own things in my own

19 studies that every one of these Judge of

20 Elections and judge of -- Inspectors of

21 Elections are tenants in Scranton Housing

22 Authority.

23 And that's -- prove me wrong. There

24 should be some talk about it. I'm going to go

25 next week and get the results -- the official
 27

 1 results. I keep looking in the newspaper, you

 2 know, I guess that's why they're not swearing

 3 anybody in.

 4 But after this thing with all the

 5 judges, I mean, the judges they're retaining,

 6 these are the same judges that locked this city

 7 down that criminalized, you know, so people

 8 could point to people, oh, you don't have a

 9 mask on and you don't have the jab. You can't

10 go to school.

11 You can't go to work. You can't

12 fly. These are the people that did it. We

13 need our democracy -- real democracy here.

14 Thank you.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

16 MS. KOLOSKY: Doris Kolosky,

17 resident of Scranton. Okay, first, I'm here on

18 a mission. On Saturday, November 22nd and

19 Sunday the 23rd, the SMRA is holding an

20 emergency food drive at Nay Aug Park.

21 Donations could be dropped off

22 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Nay Aug

23 Community Room which is the former snack bar at

24 the Olive Street entrance. There's not a lot

25 of time. So please try to get word out to all
 28

 1 your friends and places where you work.

 2 Nonperishable foods only and please check to

 3 make sure that there is no expired dates.

 4 And, Mr. Voldenberg, I know we

 5 usually have posters for you. But this came up

 6 so quick we didn't -- so if you could just

 7 spread the word around City Hall we'd

 8 appreciate it. I'd like to answer Joan's

 9 question about the neighborhood knowing about

10 the change in the zoning ordinance that you're

11 going to put forward tonight.

12 We had a Hill Neighborhood

13 Association meeting on October 29th. Dr.

14 Rothchild was there, a representative from the

15 hospital was there. But we residents found out

16 when we read it in the Scranton Times, so just

17 food for thought on that. Let me see if I had

18 something else.

19 Oh, yes, I had one thing. I would

20 like to ask what's going on with code blue. I

21 did speak to John Judge, the Fire Chief and he

22 said that there was a meeting to work on that.

23 So if anybody knows anything about what came

24 out of that, speak now.

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. It was
 29

 1 announced today that the city is partnering

 2 with Catholic Social Services to take care of

 3 Weston Filed House Code Blue Shelter.

 4 MS. KOLOSKY: Right. But what about

 5 the temperature? Did they raise that at all?

 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: As of now, there's

 7 been no changes to the temperature. It does

 8 take windchill factor into consideration. I

 9 know that was a question earlier.

10 MS. KOLOSKY: No, that wasn't my

11 question. My question was the temperature

12 alone. The freeze is so low I thought they'd

13 at least get it to about maybe 33 right above

14 freezing hopefully.

15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yeah, we could

16 encourage the county to --

17 MS. KOLOSKY: Yeah, okay, so now

18 it's the county we'll harass. Okay, thank you,

19 people. Have a good night.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris.

21 Anyone else?

22 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

23 First of all, listening to the earlier meeting

24 buying and using AI Legal is a horrible idea.

25 Lawyers have been sanctioned for this recently
 30

 1 and including judges. There was one lawyer who

 2 used AI Legal for research.

 3 He submitted his cases. Some of the

 4 cases in there did not exist because AI created

 5 them for him. On review of it, he was

 6 sanctioned by the courts and told -- and

 7 brought in and said why shouldn't they pursue

 8 him for his actions of not jeopardizing his

 9 work.

10 And jeopardizing means when you have

11 a case that's quoted, you need to look it up

12 and make sure that what you're quoting in your

13 actual legal documents are what the case

14 actually say. In this case he doubled down and

15 he had AI write him an excuse of why he

16 shouldn't be charged for it and he got caught

17 again in his appeal for using AI -- by using

18 AI.

19 At this point, AI is an interesting

20 tool. But without the legwork, without the

21 looking at it, it's a dangerous tool that puts

22 you in liability. And it is not mature enough

23 for a city or even an individual lawyer to use

24 without extensive physical work.

25 The county building has West Law.
 31

 1 If the city can't afford it, the lawyer could

 2 walk down to the county building and it's there

 3 for free. Moving on, code blue, the city has

 4 on its -- on its website has it listed at 20

 5 degrees for code blue.

 6 But notes the Department of Homeless

 7 Services and the ReadyUS.gov has it 32 degrees

 8 with windchill. If Ready.gov says it's 32 and

 9 the Department of Homeless Services says it's

10 32, why are we ignoring that considering it's

11 directly on Scranton's website itself?

12 Why do we choose lower for the care

13 and comfort and protection of our people? Last

14 week we proposed $581,000 to for profit and

15 nonprofits for grants. Today we have $821,000

16 added on this budget, 1.4 million running

17 through in two weeks.

18 Again, 5-F, we're looking to give

19 $25,000 extra for a paid pathway navigator to

20 coordinate nonprofits. Why are we even dealing

21 with nonprofit if they can't coordinate their

22 own business? If I'm a food bank, I could pick

23 up the phone. I could write an e-mail. And I

24 could communicate with other food banks.

25 I would rather see $25,000 go to
 32

 1 actually buying food and caring for the

 2 homeless than setting up another position that

 3 shouldn't be there because they should be able

 4 to coordinate their own damn business.

 5 Food pantries, of course, the Mayor

 6 is pushing them in her city for regional.

 7 She's going for a regional position now. She's

 8 no longer concerned solely with Scranton. She

 9 wants to put up advertisement for food banks

10 all over the county. I don't think it's the

11 Mayor's responsibility for the county.

12 It's the Mayor's responsibility for

13 the City of Scranton. But we know that's not

14 true anymore because she's not looking to be

15 reelected in the City of Scranton. She's

16 looking for a federal job. CIC closes at 6

17 p.m. Weston Field opens at 8 p.m. That's two

18 hours.

19 I'd like to invite Dr. Rothchild to

20 come down to CIC with a bag of -- with a

21 backpack of clothes and stuff like that and we

22 could take the mile or mile and a quarter walk

23 from CIC to Weston Field in 19 degree weather

24 and sit for two hours waiting for it to open.

25 I have no problem doing that of
 33

 1 standing outside for two hours and walking from

 2 one location to another because that's the help

 3 we get. We can do better.

 4 And where on City Council again does

 5 it say that some people at this podium are

 6 allowed more time than others or they get 8 or

 7 10 minutes? I still haven't gotten that.

 8 And I'd like any one, please bring

 9 in food, cans of food for donations. Bring

10 them in here to City Council. Leave them here

11 at City Council. Maybe someone from this body

12 or this building will help the homeless and get

13 the cans of food to where they need to be.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

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

16 MOTIONS.

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

18 any motions or comments?

19 MR. KING: Nothing at this time.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

21 Schuster, do you have any motions or comments?

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

23 All right. There's a property at 915 Euclid

24 Avenue in the Tripp Park section. Can we ask

25 code enforcement for an update on this
 34

 1 property? It's extremely overgrown. The house

 2 is starting to fall apart. It's only been

 3 vacant for a few years, but it deteriorating

 4 quickly.

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that

 6 information, sir.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I sent

 8 over an e-mail in the last few days about the

 9 West Scranton Little League. They just started

10 defoliating the hillside between the baseball

11 field and Novembrino Splash Pad. They cleared

12 off the steps.

13 They're requesting that the city put

14 two LED lights shining on the steps. The

15 lights at the splash pad are on throughout the

16 night. And there's poles already in existence.

17 So I know I sent an e-mail over. But if we

18 need more information on that, please let me

19 know and we'll see what we can get out of maybe

20 Parks and Rec or --

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was submitted.

22 I'll advise you of their response.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

24 very much. I want to say thank you to the

25 Scranton Fire Department. They quickly
 35

 1 extinguished a fire on Froude Avenue in the

 2 last few days and everybody remained safe in

 3 this situation.

 4 I did get a call from East Mountain

 5 about a ditch at Cherry Street and Blucher

 6 Avenue. I believe Mr. King knows about a

 7 situation where the water comes out of the

 8 ditch and it causes black ice on those streets.

 9 I believe is it the 1400 block or is it the --

10 MR. KING: It's the 1300 block of

11 Cherry. And it comes from the -- I guess it

12 would be the northerly side and cross to the

13 southerly side. But it kind of creates a

14 situation where it's like black ice.

15 And it's a downhill with a tight 90

16 degree turn. So it is a little dangerous. If

17 DPW could take a look at that or -- I don't

18 know if the work that's being done by RLE

19 Associates with stormwater project will help

20 address that or alleviate it. Most of that

21 work is happening up a little bit higher up in

22 the 800 block.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, so I -- part of

24 the question would be is the work that's being

25 done currently going to help that situation or
 36

 1 is it something that we needed to look into

 2 because it is a dangerous situation with black

 3 ice crossing the street there.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, gentlemen.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

 6 you. I did get some answers back from last

 7 week. I asked about the new pave cut process

 8 this year, the number of permits related to

 9 pave cuts.

10 At this point in time, the city

11 issued 636 permits during the first two months

12 of 2025 and they're waiting on an additional

13 102 permits that have been forecasted through

14 November.

15 So they're looking at a total of

16 about 738 permits in 2025. I did get some of

17 the revenue generated from 2016 to 2025.

18 There's a lot here to -- to read out. I guess

19 that's all for tonight. Thank you.

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

21 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

22 comments?

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Just want to touch

24 again regarding the code blue because there was

25 a couple questions about it. So as I responded
 37

 1 to Miss Kolosky, there was an announcement

 2 today that the city is partnering with Catholic

 3 Social Services to help staff our Code Blue

 4 Shelter at Weston Field.

 5 And I am happy that they came to an

 6 agreement and that we will have help with that.

 7 I was getting nervous because it is already

 8 getting cold and we want to be able to still

 9 offer the help and the shelter. I will inquire

10 about the time that it opens and see if there

11 is any room there or what the thought was

12 behind the time being 8:00 for the opening of

13 the shelter.

14 And I know that we had gotten -- we

15 gotten some reasoning in the past as to why it

16 closes at a certain time. But I'll ask them

17 about that gap for when it opens. And I was on

18 the phone with Chief Judge earlier today too.

19 And he did explain to me about the temperature

20 being based off of the county -- the county

21 Code Blue Shelter because they are the ones

22 that in the past have determined when the code

23 blue shelters would open.

24 And so that was based on a 20 degree

25 number. I'm not sure where else that compares
 38

 1 with. But that's -- that's the information

 2 that I have as of now. But we could continue

 3 to inquire about it. I agree that should be

 4 higher than it is.

 5 I, you know, wouldn't want to be

 6 sleeping outside in 25 degree weather either.

 7 So that's -- I'll just -- I'll keep pushing and

 8 asking questions and helping any way that I can

 9 in this. That's all that I have on that. And

10 I believe that's it, a couple other things that

11 I'll send -- I'll send forward. So that's all

12 at this time. Thank you.

13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

14 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any

15 motions or comments?

16 MR. MCANDREW: I have a few. So,

17 first of all, code blue, we've been hearing

18 about this -- for a couple years we've been

19 hearing about it for a couple weeks. I think

20 since, you know, we're the legislative body, we

21 can create our own resolutions, our own

22 ordinances, why don't we pick a temperature

23 that we're comfortable with.

24 The public -- or the homeless aren't

25 going to be comfortable with. I don't think we
 39

 1 have to follow the county. I mean, these

 2 aren't county facilities that per se in

 3 Scranton that are going to be utilized by these

 4 poor people that are cold.

 5 So, Solicitor Gilbride, can you

 6 please just look into the possibility of us

 7 actually deciding what temperature would be the

 8 most appropriate to help our residents?

 9 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes, sir.

10 MR. MCANDREW: I don't think we need

11 a blessing from anybody. All right. Thank

12 you. Also, so last week a gentleman reached

13 out to me and he was very concerned. And he's

14 very supportive of the homeless population.

15 He donates, he checks on them; and,

16 you know, and for the health, safety, and

17 welfare of these homeless individuals, he had a

18 concern near Sheetz, right, that, you know,

19 because of the amount of garbage, not only that

20 it was unsightly, but he was worried about

21 their health and safety with rodents, disease,

22 etc.

23 So he asked me to ask. So I did ask

24 and I reached out. I had Mr. Voldenberg reach

25 out to code enforcement, SPD, DPW, may we
 40

 1 please address the growing unsheltered camp in

 2 the area of Sheetz in North Scranton

 3 Expressway.

 4 The resident asked if temporary

 5 placement of trash cans as they may assist and

 6 those parties living there on the various lots,

 7 ramps, areas, etc., to help, you know, keep a

 8 sanitary environment.

 9 All right, not only is it unsightly

10 but bacteria grows. All right. It's

11 everywhere. And more so with critters and

12 bacteria -- I mean, garbage. So he asked for,

13 you know, a couple garbage cans.

14 The administration completed work --

15 said DPW in conjunction SPD completed work at

16 the unsheltered encampment between Sheetz and

17 the expressway on November 10th, which is fine,

18 but it has to be maintained.

19 I'm thrilled when them guys do it.

20 And they take great pride in doing it. But the

21 administration said that the DPW isn't budgeted

22 to purchase additional garbage cans to place

23 near the areas of encampments. I mean, we're

24 sitting here listening to budget work sessions,

25 you know, we're doing pretty good, you know,
 41

 1 not raising taxes.

 2 We found some money here. We're

 3 getting increased revenue. I can't believe we

 4 can't buy a couple garbage cans to put in this

 5 area. I'll donate one myself if somebody will

 6 match me. I'll throw it out there. I mean,

 7 let's -- ask administration because they can't

 8 afford it or budget it, would they be okay if

 9 some people actually do donate some garbage

10 cans to this area to help with this -- make

11 this place -- this area more sanitary. So

12 would you please ask?

13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

14 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. I just

15 wasn't happy with the actual answer. Also,

16 guess what, so 5-B, the amendment of zoning up

17 near Geisinger, guess what, I had to read it in

18 the paper. Pretty sad, right, when a sitting

19 Council member has to read that the Mayor wants

20 to zone -- wants to switch the zoning back to

21 like say civic zoning or amend the current

22 zoning ordinance with regards to Geisinger.

23 Pretty sad that I have to read it in

24 the paper, all right? And it's also pretty sad

25 that that legislation was put on the agenda
 42

 1 yesterday, the day before today. That's not

 2 policy. So is it -- looks like a rush job?

 3 Yeah, sure does for all the reasons already

 4 mentioned or even brought.

 5 I mean, and the fact that they never

 6 appealed it and they're not going through the

 7 process, they're just relying on the Mayor to

 8 get enough votes to amend it. I don't like the

 9 process. I would like to make a motion to --

10 because if we're going to approve this or

11 disapprove this, it's in our hands.

12 I would like to make a motion to

13 have the Geisinger people come and explain to

14 all of you because I don't know what their

15 intentions are, probably the 100 foot garages

16 are back on the table. But we don't know that

17 for sure.

18 You guys are going to be the most

19 affected by it. It was a very controversial

20 issue. I don't think it should be rushed

21 through this quickly. It raises an eyebrow.

22 So let me clarify my motion.

23 I would like to make a motion to

24 have Geisinger representatives or their legal

25 team that's doing their -- their representation
 43

 1 or speaking to the Mayor, come and speak to us

 2 and the residents.

 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'll second that.

 4 MR. SMURL: I have a motion and a

 5 second. On the question?

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, can

 7 we also add before this is introduced? I'd

 8 like to make a motion or to amend that to have

 9 the Geisinger representatives come in here to

10 explain this before this is even introduced in

11 Council.

12 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So we have a motion

13 and second. And one way to amend that motion

14 would be by way of a friendly motion -- a

15 friendly amendment which has to be accepted by

16 the person that made the amendment and then

17 seconded by the person who seconded.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: So I'll make a

19 friendly then before this piece of legislation

20 even gets introduced here in Council Chambers

21 that the Geisinger representatives come to

22 explain it.

23 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.

24 MR. KING: On the question, I was

25 going to support the original motion to amend,
 44

 1 but not with that addition on there. If we --

 2 I would like to see us introduce it, have

 3 Geisinger come in here, explain to us and get

 4 it moving.

 5 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Mr. President,

 6 before we move forward because this needs to be

 7 done right. You have an amendment and a

 8 second. The only one who can offer a friendly

 9 amendment is the person who made the original

10 motion. So that would be Mr. McAndrew.

11 MR. SMURL: So if you want to, you

12 have to withdraw that before we could accept

13 that.

14 MR. MCANDREW: So withdraw my first

15 motion.

16 ATTY. GILBRIDE: No, you don't have

17 to withdraw. You would have to --

18 MR. MCANDREW: Well, I said I

19 accept. I said, yes, I will accept.

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Now there needs to

21 be a second from the person who seconded the

22 original motion.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'm in agreement

24 with the original motion, but not the amended

25 motion because I would like to have further
 45

 1 discussion on the question when we get to the

 2 Fifth Order piece for introduction.

 3 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I'm sorry,

 4 I didn't --

 5 MR. SMURL: So we do not have the

 6 motion on changing it.

 7 ATTY. GILBRIDE: You have a motion.

 8 But you don't -- you have a motion to amend but

 9 you don't have a second. So it dies. The

10 amendment dies.

11 MR. MCANDREW: Then it goes back to

12 my motion.

13 ATTY. GILBRIDE: But the initial

14 motion is still alive.

15 MR. MCANDREW: Correct.

16 DR. ROTHCHILD: And I'm still happy

17 to have Geisinger come in here and explain

18 their plans.

19 MR. SMURL: Okay, so we will --

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: You'd be voting on

21 Mr. McAndrew's original motion that was

22 seconded by Dr. Rothchild.

23 MR. SMURL: On the question on the

24 original motion?

25 MR. SCHUSTER: So the original
 46

 1 motion is that Geisinger comes into caucus to

 2 explain what their plan is.

 3 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes.

 4 MR. SMURL: All right. Anyone else?

 5 So all those in favor of Mr. McAndrew's motion

 6 to have GCMC to come here and explain to us

 7 what their actual plan is there, all those in

 8 favor signify by saying aye.

 9 MR. KING: Aye.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

11 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

12 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.

13 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

14 have it and motion carries.

15 MR. MCANDREW: And let me see,

16 that's all I have for motions.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. So, Mr.

18 McAndrew -- I'm sorry, Mr. Voldenberg, you and

19 Attorney Gilbride will draft that request and

20 get it to GCMC? I would hope tomorrow --

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: We'll reach out to

22 them in the morning.

23 MR. SMURL: We'll be back on Tuesday

24 now instead so it's not really a whole week.

25 So we'll see what their availability is. And
 47

 1 if they want to have a different meeting if we

 2 can handle that also, okay?

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir.

 4 MR. SMURL: Anything else, Mark?

 5 MR. MCANDREW: No.

 6 MR. SMURL: That's it, Frank. Thank

 7 you.

 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR

 9 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AMENDING THE

10 ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SCRANTON TO

11 AMEND PROVISIONS RELATED TO HOSPITALS AND

12 OFF-STREET PARKING AND TO AMEND THE ZONING MAP.

13 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll

14 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced

15 into its proper committee.

16 MR. KING: So moved.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

18 MR. SMURL: On the question?

19 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, you

20 know, there was a lot of controversy around

21 this when the zoning ordinance was put forward

22 in 2023. There's been a long time -- it's been

23 two years now.

24 At that point in time Geisinger was

25 committed to a neighborhood advisory board.
 48

 1 They stated they would conduct noise, light,

 2 shade, traffic and other studies in the area.

 3 Can we just find out if this has been done?

 4 Had they created a neighborhood advisory board

 5 to get the input of the neighborhoods?

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask that

 7 question.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

 9 I would like to echo some of the things that

10 Mr. McAndrew said. Pretty much goes against

11 our Council protocols on how we get legislation

12 in here.

13 You know, when this was first --

14 when the hospital first approached the city,

15 they did say they were going to bring in a

16 NICU. They might have said they were going to

17 expand trauma and things like this.

18 These are things that we've heard

19 before. When we actually had them in here for

20 caucus, the actual expansion was parking

21 garages and 3.8 new beds. And I didn't feel

22 that 100 foot parking garages constituted an

23 expansion of service of 3.8 new beds.

24 I mean, I'm open minded here to see

25 what the hospital is going to do, what kind of
 49

 1 expansion of services are going to happen. I

 2 do not like how this ended up on our agenda. I

 3 don't like how it ended up on our agenda

 4 yesterday so the public really didn't have an

 5 opportunity to see it.

 6 I'm glad that some of the

 7 individuals from the Hill Neighborhood came

 8 out. I think the Hill Neighborhood should be

 9 concerned about the whole 2023 ordinance as

10 that 2023 ordinance was tailored for the

11 University of Scranton which is in your

12 neighborhood and it was tailored for Geisinger

13 which is in your neighborhood.

14 I think it should be a concern. I'm

15 glad that Mr. Scacchitti brought up the fact

16 that if Geisinger was opposed to the zoning in

17 2023, they could have appealed at the zoning

18 board and they haven't done that. I'm going to

19 be voting no to introduce this tonight.

20 I'll keep an open mind as we move

21 forward into Sixth and Seventh order. But they

22 had an opportunity to go to the zoning board.

23 They had an opportunity to present their plan.

24 And that was what this body tried to do with

25 the amendment and that ordinance in 2023 was
 50

 1 that if they wanted to, they would present

 2 their plan.

 3 And it was -- it was forcing them to

 4 present their plan. And they haven't as far as

 5 I know presented it yet.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 7 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I mean, I'm

 8 going to vote yes to introduce because I want

 9 them here. I want to hear what they're going

10 to do. If we voted no for this, we wouldn't

11 get the answers we seek if everybody voted no.

12 So, yeah, it still bothers me that

13 they had a couple years to come up with plan B

14 or C and present it to somebody. They didn't.

15 They didn't appeal it. And I do remember them

16 saying they're going to be better partners with

17 the community. They're going to have these

18 committees.

19 I would like to know if that

20 occurred if they were sincere and they

21 fulfilled their part of it wanting to be good

22 neighbors. And guess what, I know there's

23 going to be some narratives out there that, oh,

24 what are you against care for, you know,

25 children and having a NICU or neonatal.
 51

 1 No, that's not going to be spun in

 2 my direction. I could tell you right now. I

 3 had two daughters that were life-flighted from

 4 the CMC, one a couple days after she was born

 5 and one as an adolescent because they had that

 6 type of care, that level of care there.

 7 I'm not against that or going to

 8 entertain any spin from anybody in this

 9 building that if you vote no, you're voting

10 against progress, you're voting against better

11 healthcare because that's coming. I know it's

12 coming. But I'm prepared for that.

13 So like I said earlier, I didn't

14 like how this was introduced, raised an

15 eyebrow, found out -- a couple media outlets

16 had it before we did. This was strategically

17 planned, the delivery. And then all of a

18 sudden, the legislation appears the day before

19 our meeting.

20 Come on, that's not how we roll

21 around here. It's not how we're supposed to

22 roll. And I could tell you come January, it's

23 not going to happen like that again. That's

24 all I have. Thank you.

25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew.
 52

 1 Anyone else? All those -- sorry.

 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yeah, on the

 3 question, I have a few comments. So I just

 4 want to start by saying the vote two and a half

 5 years ago that took place, I don't regret my

 6 vote. At the time I -- I understood the need

 7 for an expansion.

 8 But I also thought that the

 9 amendment that we voted on, Geisinger would

10 still be able to move forward with their plans

11 and with their project. Certainly when they

12 come in we could ask them why they haven't gone

13 to the zoning board if that's -- like, I don't

14 feel like that's an option and more details on

15 what their plan would be.

16 And I know that they have made

17 changes to their hospital operations since then

18 to try to make accommodations because of the

19 overflow they are having in the emergency

20 department and some of the lack of care that

21 they wanted to be able provide.

22 I think that our healthcare

23 landscape has changed over those past couple of

24 years. I am still concerned about what's going

25 on with Commonwealth. And I want to make sure
 53

 1 we do have strong healthcare in the City of

 2 Scranton. There's still, like, a lot of

 3 uncertainty, I think, with the potential Tenor

 4 deal.

 5 And I am glad that this would have

 6 once again a 30-day public comment period like

 7 it did last time that we would be able to hear

 8 concerns and questions from residents and, of

 9 course, take those seriously and take those to

10 Geisinger.

11 I will be voting yes to introduce

12 the legislation tonight. I believe in the

13 beginning it was the legislative process to

14 reconsider potential zoning changes. And I

15 would still like to see a community benefits

16 agreement which was a part of the discussion a

17 couple of years ago to have that with the

18 neighborhood.

19 So I would like to see the

20 development of that if there's not one already.

21 That's all that I have.

22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

23 Rothchild. All those in favor of introduction,
