21 MR. VOLDENBERG: THIRD ORDER.

22 3-A. CONTROLLER'S REPORT FOR THE

23 MONTH ENDING AUGUST 31, 2025.

24 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments

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

 1 received and filed. Do any Council members

 2 have any announcements at this time?

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have one

 4 announcement. I would like to thank the ARC of

 5 Scranton. I received their thank you card. I

 6 had the pleasure last week to tour the facility

 7 and some of the programs over there and what

 8 they offer to some clients and family in the

 9 area.

10 I also got to go to a great event on

11 Sunday up at the Waldorf, their Family Fall

12 Festival where they fundraise for their

13 clients. It's something I've attended in the

14 past and it's for a good cause. So I would

15 just like to thank those members of the ARC.

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

17 Anyone else?

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

19 First, I just want to remind people that this

20 Saturday over at Nay Aug park they are having a

21 Jim Connors Day in honor of him with music

22 playing all day from 1 p.m., I think up until 6

23 p.m., along with some activities for children

24 and families.

25 And also happening this weekend is
 5

 1 going to be the West Scranton Fall Festival

 2 that NeighborWorks has been doing every year.

 3 And they split it up until two days today

 4 they or two days this year. They used to do it

 5 all in one day.

 6 But Friday night over at Allen Park

 7 from 6 to 9 they're going to be having live

 8 music, fire pits, S'mores. And then on

 9 Saturday at Clover Field, they'll have their

10 usual event there. That's from 12 to 4 and

11 just a ton of things for kids, activities,

12 bounce houses, just a lot that they do over

13 there in the field.

14 So if anyone is able to attend -- I

15 didn't look at the weather, but they do have a

16 rain date of September 27th in the event that

17 it's raining. And not sure if it was mentioned

18 yet here, but the Junior League of Scranton

19 does a Touch a Truck event each year. And

20 that's going to happen Saturday, September 27th

21 from 11 to 3 at Nay Aug. That's all. Thank

22 you.

23 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

24 Rothchild. Anyone else? If not Mr.

25 Voldenberg, Fourth Order.
 6

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 2 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

 3 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz.

 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

 5 Scranton. Congratulations on the new

 6 carpeting. I guess that explains why the

 7 American flag is there instead of over there.

 8 So when you Pledge of Allegiance you'll have to

 9 turn that way.

10 One of the announcements I was

11 hoping you'd make but you didn't, so I will.

12 Friday, September 19th is the annual POW MIA

13 Recognition Day. It is a day in which we as a

14 nation recognize the 81,000 service members who

15 are still missing and have not returned home.

16 By the grace of God, we were able to

17 lay to rest Jerry Mullaney just over the week

18 after 81 years. So our Recognition Day will be

19 celebrated on Friday, September 19th at 4 p.m.

20 at the Scranton Veterans Memorial Park down by

21 the high school. I hope everybody who has the

22 free time will come down and participate. Any

23 applicants for Director of DPW?

24 MR. SMURL: I don't know of any.

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okey-dokey. And
 7

 1 are we still progressing on the Collective

 2 Bargaining Agreement for DPW? It's been almost

 3 ten months since their contract ran out.

 4 MR. SMURL: Nothing yet.

 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. I notice

 6 that in the Controller's Report Mr. Ufberg got

 7 another $40,500. He does these negotiations.

 8 And two weeks from today is September 30th.

 9 We're going to have the audit in hand for 2024,

10 right?

11 MR. SMURL: I certainly hope so.

12 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. From your

13 lips to God's ears, we'll be watching. And the

14 ordinance I believe it's 6-B, Reading by Title

15 the Civil Service Commission exemption for --

16 for the entry positions for the police.

17 I did check on the Civil Service

18 Commission and saw in their agenda for

19 September that it was on the agenda. So they

20 are aware of it. There were no minutes for

21 that meeting yet published. Do you know if

22 they saw any opinion or comments from the

23 police union?

24 MR. SMURL: That I don't know.

25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Well, I'll
 8

 1 check on that tomorrow because we have all the

 2 pension boards tomorrow. I'm still, you know,

 3 not clear on the concept of, you know, how the

 4 Police Chief makes the final selection of all

 5 of these applicants in a noncompetitive manner.

 6 I understand that the Civil Service

 7 Commission creates this alternate list. But

 8 the final selection I think is done by the

 9 Police Chief. While I have all the confidence

10 in the world of our current Police Chief, you

11 know that he might get run over by a fire truck

12 tonight.

13 And then we'll get somebody in there

14 and, you know, you never know how that guy's

15 going to work out. You know, we have a long

16 history of great mayors and then along came

17 Bill Courtright. So it's possible, you know,

18 that's why I keep, you know, mentioning, you

19 know, this thing will need some oversight while

20 we're doing this because we could lose track of

21 it and we don't want to see this devolve into a

22 good ol' boy network.

23 I know that we need qualified

24 people. I know that we don't want to deal with

25 staffing shortages. And, you know, that's the
 9

 1 way we should go. But still, because we're

 2 taking exception to the way the Civil Service

 3 Commission was designed to operate, I think

 4 this is something that we should be keeping a

 5 watchful eye on lest something go astray.

 6 And we don't want that to happen

 7 because our police department is really good

 8 for whatever numbers we have. And I don't want

 9 to see that be tainted with any kind of

10 questionable hiring practices. Thank you.

11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Norma

12 Jeffries.

13 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening,

14 Council, Norma Jeffries, Scranton resident.

15 And I wanted to start tonight in thanking Dr.

16 Rothchild for mentioning last week that the

17 planned food drive that we were going to have

18 at the park on the last Saturday weekend of

19 September and afterwards, the Touch a Truck is

20 going to have a food drive that day.

21 So there's a conflict. So I had to

22 postpone it and we'll have to come up with a

23 different date. And as soon as that date is

24 finalized, I will be announcing it again. But

25 I got several text messages about the food
 10

 1 drive, so I thought I'd mention it again to say

 2 just hang onto those food items that you've

 3 purchased.

 4 And the second thing I wanted to

 5 talk about was the visibility -- the high

 6 visibility stop signs that they have, have been

 7 installed in this city. And that was very

 8 interesting to see that the city is moving

 9 forward in trying to make our pedestrians and

10 our drivers more safe as we go through the

11 streets of Scranton.

12 So as I read the entire article that

13 was there, in the article the Mayor said that

14 the stop sign initiative is part of our efforts

15 to improve driver and pedestrian safety

16 throughout Scranton. Under her tenure, more

17 than 4,500 faded or damaged street signs and

18 stop signs throughout the city have been

19 replaced.

20 It was great to read this

21 information. As you know, I've been talking

22 about the stop signs for six years. And it was

23 good to see that there was 4,500 have been

24 replaced. When I had to gone to DPW six years

25 ago, there was 9,000 street signs in the City
 11

 1 of Scranton that needed to be addressed.

 2 So at this rate, I guess we'll be

 3 finished in another six years. But I'm hoping

 4 that one day I could just stand here and say,

 5 just thank the city and thank everyone that was

 6 involved as to getting those street signs up

 7 and just an improvement because I still

 8 continue to get lost, especially in South Side,

 9 you know, between Birch Street, Beech Street,

10 Pear Street and all those fruit streets and,

11 you know, you get a little bit -- at least I

12 get confused.

13 So I also wanted to mention I wasn't

14 sure if Suzy was going to be here tonight, but

15 as Dr. Rothchild mentioned about the Jimmy

16 Connors Day is Saturday. And we're just

17 encouraging everyone to come out and enjoy the

18 festivities of that day.

19 And there's all kinds of activities

20 including kids' activities. And it's going to

21 run -- I think the last band comes up at 5:00

22 which will run until probably about six. So

23 there's lots of live music that day. And

24 according to the weather report, we should have

25 a great day. And the weather should be just
 12

 1 about perfect for being outside.

 2 And another activity that's going on

 3 in the park on Saturday is on the other side of

 4 the park, there is the Butonese celebration is

 5 going on there. And it's always good to take

 6 advantage of those types of activities at the

 7 park, not only at the park, wherever they are

 8 because it's always good to find out about

 9 other cultures and other ethnicities that are

10 out there because we're all Americans.

11 We're all part of building the

12 melting pot of Scranton and of the United

13 States. So that is -- there's activities and

14 there's food that will be available. And their

15 hours are 10 to 4. So I'm just hoping that,

16 you know, everyone will get out and enjoy that

17 day and for both the activities that are going

18 on in Scranton at the park on Saturday.

19 And then, of course, on Sunday we

20 have our activity. It will be the Sunday

21 concerts which run from 2 to 4. And that will

22 be on Sunday as well and another activities

23 that are there for all the citizens of Scranton

24 to take advantage of. Thank you.

25 I've got a few more seconds.
 13

 1 Mr. Smurl, last week you mentioned about the

 2 sidewalks and that the ordinance said that

 3 there's no ordinance that says that you have to

 4 have a sidewalk. But what about the repair of

 5 the sidewalks once they're in? Is there an

 6 ordinance that says that the -- once you have a

 7 sidewalk that it should be in good repair?

 8 MR. SMURL: Once they're in -- once

 9 the sidewalks are in, you are responsible to

10 keep them up. And you need -- it said a path

11 to the front door and that's all it said. But

12 once they're installed, you need to maintain.

13 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay, so do I report

14 that or is that code enforcement or --

15 MR. SMURL: Of bad sidewalks, I

16 would probably Scranton 311 and to code

17 enforcement. They would be the ones that would

18 do that citation.

19 MS. JEFFRIES: Okay. That was my

20 question about that. Okay. Thank you.

21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Angela

22 Ramone.

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

24 everyone again. I just want to make sure you

25 could hear me first. I'm not going to be
 14

 1 commenting on any of the Seventh Order items

 2 because I commented on all of those last week.

 3 But I will be speaking a little bit on some of

 4 the 5th and 6th Order items here mainly to do

 5 with the grant the city wants to pursue for the

 6 bike lane project that would connect the

 7 downtown to Lackawanna Heritage Trail as well

 8 as the Iron Works for about, like, six miles of

 9 bike lanes in our city throughout downtown.

10 And specifically I'd like to

11 contextualize that cost with some of the other

12 agenda items tonight which would be the

13 elevator repair for one of our parking garages

14 downtown where the city is pursuing $153,000.

15 The six miles of bike lanes that the

16 city is seeking grants for is only about

17 two-thirds the cost of the elevator repair that

18 they are also requesting. And it would greatly

19 enhance the ability of Scranton residents and

20 the visitors to Scranton to get around our city

21 to see the beauty and any opportunities here

22 and also, of course, spending money downtown.

23 And I do know that there's many

24 comments especially over the past few months

25 regarding cyclists in the street and conflicts
 15

 1 with drivers. And as much as I would love to

 2 say, like, we can just swing a wand around and

 3 make everything perfect, that's not going to

 4 happen.

 5 We have very little bike

 6 infrastructure within the City of Scranton.

 7 And in spite of that, getting around on bikes

 8 has become increasingly popular over the years

 9 for a number of different reasons, both with

10 the low cost of cycling, the convenience of

11 using e-bikes, especially in hilly areas and

12 the low cost relative to driving that for many

13 people they found it suitable to even replace

14 their vehicles.

15 But my point is bikes aren't going

16 away. And we do need to make sure that we're

17 responsible and finding a way for people who

18 are getting around on bikes to share the road

19 responsibly with drivers.

20 And putting bike lanes in our city

21 is just one of the few things we could do to

22 address that because there's many people who

23 get to work on bikes. There's many who commute

24 to school on bikes. There's people who run

25 errands on bikes, go out for entertainment
 16

 1 using bikes.

 2 And we want to make sure that we're

 3 not needlessly allowing hazards and conflicts

 4 to continue to exist in our city. So that's

 5 all I have to say on the bike lanes. But

 6 similar note for Item 5-H, that would be the

 7 proposed crosswalks over on Davis Street.

 8 I'm not sure if anyone here has used

 9 these styles of crosswalks where they have the

10 usually brick crosswalks that have active

11 signals. It will flash whenever a pedestrian

12 hits a button. I've used them in many

13 different places, not just at the University of

14 Scranton or even in Scranton.

15 There's places like Olyphant that

16 have them in their downtown. And in my

17 experience as someone who's like generally

18 able-bodied and able to get around easily, I

19 found it much, much safer especially at night

20 trying to cross busy streets with those types

21 of signals because when we rely solely on the

22 standard pedestrian crossings that we see at

23 signalized intersections, drivers are often

24 looking up, like, all the way up at the lights

25 to see if they need to stop or go.
 17

 1 And that draws their attention away

 2 from pedestrians at the corners waiting to

 3 cross. But these specific styles of crosswalks

 4 are relatively affordable to build. And they

 5 are incredibly safe. And especially with a

 6 busy street like Davis Street, we want to make

 7 sure that people aren't going to be getting hit

 8 by cars consistently.

 9 So that's about all I have for

10 tonight. Like I said, I'm in support of the

11 previous things I talked about in Seventh

12 Order. And I do believe it would be in the

13 best interest of the city to let the City of

14 Scranton pursue grants for bike lanes and for

15 crosswalk improvements. Thank you very much

16 for your time.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Bob Bolus.

18 MR. BOLUS: Council, Bob Bolus,

19 Scranton. First off, the American flag belongs

20 over there. When we just pledged allegiance,

21 we pledged to the wall. We don't pledge to the

22 flag. So if we could get that done and honor

23 our fellow veterans.

24 I would ask today, Mr. Smurl, if we

25 could have a moment of silence in memory of
 18

 1 Charlie Kirk who was brutally murdered. We

 2 held a process for him Sunday at the County

 3 Courthouse. I would ask if we could have that

 4 for just a moment, please.

 5 MR. SMURL: Would you like me to do

 6 it next week or --

 7 MR. BOLUS: No, I'd like to -- if we

 8 could have a moment of silence right now just

 9 in memory of him if we may, please?

10 MR. SMURL: All right. You could

11 ask for it, absolutely. We'll do it right now.

12 MR. BOLUS: Okay. Thank you. If

13 everyone -- if we could have a moment of

14 silence for Charlie Kirk, thank you.

15 (Moment of silence.)

16 MR. BOLUS: Thank you, sir. I knew

17 Charlie personally. I met him on several

18 occasions and we had a lot of dialogue between

19 us. And that was a tragedy what we saw that a

20 member of the queer organization decided he

21 shouldn't live because they didn't like what he

22 had to say.

23 And everybody has to understand this

24 is America under that flag. Everybody has a

25 right to speak. Everybody has a right to say
 19

 1 what they want to say. But to take a life of

 2 an individual as they did is totally

 3 unacceptable. And these people have to

 4 understand that's why I argued about the queer

 5 flags on the courthouse.

 6 We got to put them where they

 7 belong. You have something to say, that's

 8 fine. But you don't jam it down our throat and

 9 you don't murder our people because you don't

10 like what we got to say. I just delivered

11 $275,000 of disinfectant wipes to the flood

12 victims of Texas.

13 It was done on the Bob Bolus Donors

14 and Truckers for America and Trump trailer.

15 And I'm proud to have my picture and my name on

16 my trailer. And I couldn't have been prouder

17 to see that trailer in Florida, California,

18 Texas, Arizona, Kentucky, Tennessee, North and

19 South Carolina and Georgia.

20 My trailer was gone for four months

21 and I represented everybody here because on the

22 trailer it said Scranton, Pennsylvania. And

23 I'm damn proud to say I'm from Scranton. I'm

24 glad my trailer was able to represent all of us

25 in one way or the other.
 20

 1 You know, I've been coming here for

 2 a long time. And what I see going on here

 3 disturbs me. We have two hospitals that

 4 don't -- nobody knows what the hell they want

 5 to do with them, find a buyer, find somebody.

 6 I want them to become employee owned.

 7 And what we need to do is get our

 8 state representatives or Congressmen, everybody

 9 that is so-called political off their butts and

10 fund those two hospitals and make them employee

11 owned. They will pay taxes. But you'll have

12 people that will want to come to work.

13 I just -- I was at Geisinger for a

14 week. And I must tell you the service and the

15 treatment I received there was second to none.

16 So anybody's who's got something to say about

17 the hospitals and the people that serve -- take

18 care of us, get your head out of your butt

19 because they do a hell of a job for each and

20 every one of us.

21 And I commend everybody at Geisinger

22 for the treatment I received. But if we go

23 employee owned, everybody will want to come to

24 work. We'll have a medical staff here. We

25 have everything we need. So I'm asking
 21

 1 Bridget, Flynn, all of these other characters

 2 out here that are all political, put your money

 3 where your mouth is and fund these two

 4 hospitals. Stop looking for somebody to buy

 5 us, own us and control us with some

 6 corporation.

 7 Let the people of this community

 8 serve the people in the community as owners of

 9 those two hospitals. And that's what I'm

10 looking to say here. That's why I came here

11 tonight. I've been all over the world. I've

12 seen many things in many countries.

13 And to see these two hospitals and

14 the morale sinking because nobody knows what

15 the heck's going to happen next, I take it on

16 our officials, our public servants and that's

17 what you are, ladies and gentlemen. You are

18 our public servants. Do what's right for the

19 people. Make those two hospitals employee

20 owned. Thank you.

21 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

22 MR. BOLUS: And appreciate allowing

23 me to have that moment for Charlie. Thank you,

24 sir.

25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus.
 22

 1 Ron Ellman.

 2 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council,

 3 I'd like to make one comment about Mr. Kirk

 4 that I feel that these sick demented fools are

 5 fuelled daily by hate-filled letters on

 6 computers by people like Chris Kelly, Sandra

 7 Myers, DeNiro, Colbert. It's not going to

 8 stop.

 9 You're never going to stop this

10 hatred that they have, all the vile supporters

11 in the paper that support them prove my point.

12 Next, there's a whole lot of stupid going on

13 here by the fools out there that you're

14 allowing this pathetic excuse of a Mayor that

15 is so consumed with her rebuilding downtown she

16 has abandoned us.

17 Her continual rape of our taxpayers

18 for the wealthy property owners downtown are at

19 our expense and grants are our tax money. For

20 some reason they think grants can -- not for

21 everybody. These outrageous tax cheats in this

22 city, they've gotten so much from us, tax

23 breaks and abatements and everything.

24 They haven't had many reassessment

25 lawyers. They don't have nothing left to
 23

 1 reassess like the rest of us do. I got that

 2 from somebody working for the city. You know,

 3 almost all of these hundred-plus buildings

 4 downtown, some of them even got the dates on

 5 the front of them.

 6 Every last one of them that these

 7 guys get ahold of are on the national register

 8 of historic places. And they received the

 9 utmost of state and federal tax credit. I

10 don't know why some of these hundred year old

11 houses in town can't be -- fit in there.

12 It seems like the laws of this city

13 are meant for a few. I don't know if you

14 people know it, any building, any of these

15 historic places that's on the register are not

16 allowed to sell alcohol.

17 One block from here that beautiful

18 home that they made into that fancy restaurant

19 where those two men when they first opened,

20 Rosie and me ate there. They didn't have beer

21 or nothing. He -- it's against the law. But

22 not in Scranton, not in crooked Scranton.

23 It's allowed here. Look at your

24 downtown, full of bars in these old hundred

25 year old houses -- buildings. I don't know.
 24

 1 It seems like Paige is so consumed with

 2 rebuilding Main Street. I've been here since

 3 '72 and I've never seen somebody riding a

 4 bicycle downtown, yet she wants to take a lane

 5 from the automobiles on one of the most

 6 trafficked streets in the city for bicycles.

 7 That's her thinking. It's not for

 8 us. It's for a few people like a, what, a

 9 tenth of the city? I don't know. I always

10 call this crooked Scranton because it still

11 stinks from the sour stench of graft and

12 corruption. And it's nothing I could do about

13 it.

14 All we could ask is you don't vote

15 for a failure. Paige Cognetti represents

16 failure. Real quick, these electric vehicles,

17 there's a little kid went by my house Sunday.

18 He must have been five or six. He was holding

19 a baby, couldn't have been like two or so in

20 his lap on a little lousy bike.

21 When he passed me, he took off as

22 fast as that bike would go. There got to be

23 some kind of control for these people. They

24 don't have enough brains. And their parents

25 don't seem to have enough brains to --
 25

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

 2 Thank you.

 3 MR. ELLMAN: -- do something. Thank

 4 you.

 5 MR. SMURL: Lee Morgan. Good

 6 evening, Council, Lee Morgan. I think the

 7 first thing I have here today is I did an

 8 interlocutory appeal to the Third Circuit over

 9 the case with ECTV which is going to pause this

10 case until they look at it because the

11 attorney -- I mean, the Judge Bloom made some

12 serious errors in this case.

13 And case law doesn't support his

14 contentions. I had to do a letter brief to him

15 about Hallock versus Manhattan because he tried

16 to -- he was misinformed on what the Supreme

17 Court ruled. So he's a little upset right now.

18 But maybe he'll get over it. But I'm only a

19 truck driver, but I think when the dust

20 settles, I think people are going to be shocked

21 because we're just starting through the

22 discovery process, believe it or not.

23 We've got a long way to go and

24 there's a lot of prospective litigants that are

25 standing in front of me, not here necessarily,
 26

 1 but -- and the other thing I want to shift

 2 gears on is, you know, you don't see any

 3 buildings burning. You don't see any looting

 4 going on. It's just calm, okay?

 5 Now, it's my opinion that a Civil

 6 Rights leader was assassinated, never watched

 7 one of his videos, never watched one of Charlie

 8 Kirk's videos in my life. And then the other

 9 day they start coming through my YouTube feed.

10 So I sat down and watched them. Now, we listen

11 to the Democrats talk about everybody being a

12 Nazi or Hitler or a fascist.

13 And, you know, you see their actions

14 like after Trump got elected and the comedian

15 held up a head -- a severed head of Trump. We

16 just had a severed head in Texas where an

17 illegal cut the head off a guy even though his

18 wife tried to save him.

19 This is what Democrats have given

20 us. The Democrats created the KKK, no doubt in

21 anybody's mind about that. Joe Biden was

22 the -- gave the eulogy of the -- the Dragon,

23 the Grand Dragon of the KKK.

24 The Democrats on the Supreme Court

25 decided that they could -- that they were only
 27

 1 slaves and weren't entitled to be citizens,

 2 okay. You got them protecting the teachers'

 3 unions as they're grooming children, okay, and

 4 talking all of this stuff and trying to tell

 5 people they're born the wrong gender and

 6 they're only little children.

 7 And the educational process has

 8 absolutely collapsed in our country.

 9 Everything points to that. The teachers'

10 unions have to be removed and education has to

11 return where it belongs. But getting back to

12 Charlie Kirk, you know, I think that when

13 history looks at him and in the next election,

14 I think people are going to be surprised

15 because all he did was debate people and talk

16 about God, watched hours of his videos, just

17 hours, never said a bad thing about one person,

18 never condemned anybody, never belittled

19 anybody, invited everybody into the forum of

20 discussion.

21 But when you listen to what the

22 Democrats are saying, okay, Crocket, the whole

23 bunch of them in the Congress and Senate, all

24 talking about hunting people down, Waters.

25 Hunt all the Republicans down or anybody who
 28

 1 doesn't agree with you, find them wherever they

 2 are, preach nothing but hate all the time.

 3 That's all the Democrats do is preach hate and

 4 division.

 5 They have nothing to offer the

 6 people just like here in Scranton, they

 7 don't -- Democrats don't offer us anything

 8 except decline, decay, over taxation and a

 9 million excuses why we can't use the Rome Rule

10 Charter to turn the city around and having a

11 Mayor who doesn't even live in the city on the

12 ballot.

13 And not a Republican that's running

14 for office will challenge her on that and hire

15 a private detective to find out where she lives

16 and do something about it. You have to ask

17 yourself, okay, how did our country get this

18 bad? How did people walk away from a system

19 and how long are we going to allow the

20 Democrats to do the things they're doing to us?

21 And it's not a personal attack, but

22 this Charlie Kirk thing is ridiculous. And

23 it's all driven by Democrats, every bit of it.

24 And Republicans, I don't see them telling

25 anybody to do anything violent to anybody.
 29

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

 2 That's all for our sign-in sheet. Anyone else

 3 wish to address Council?

 4 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka.

 5 First, I guess we're going to see photos of the

 6 Mayor's projects in the Times every week now

 7 until the election. It must be nice to get

 8 free political advertisement when you have the

 9 biggest war chest.

10 First it was the beautiful homes,

11 then it was the new LED stop signs. And then

12 it was the soon to be water project while

13 standing next to a hole in the streets. All

14 updates and projects are rolled out just before

15 election.

16 Are we holding off on bidding and

17 contracting for the Nay Aug Christmas lights

18 until after the election as it made people

19 upset? I figure we should have seen that by

20 now. And I remember -- remember people, the

21 Mayor wants you to give her $95,000 so she

22 could get paid while not doing the job because

23 she'll be busy running for another political

24 position.

25 Onto tonight's topics, speaking of
 30

 1 DPW projects projects, I would like to thank

 2 DPW for after three to four years of requesting

 3 coming to Oak Avenue and building up a small 60

 4 foot blacktop curb section. It eroded and

 5 causing a neighbor to deal with flooding every

 6 rainfall.

 7 A simple curb fix prevented the

 8 owner's constant issue of having to deal with

 9 4 foot of water that was diverted in every

10 single rain storm that went into their backyard

11 and down the hill and flooded their homes.

12 Dr. Rothchild often complains of

13 clogged water runoff drains in her area that

14 they need to be vacuum trucked to be cleaned

15 out. Well, it's good that that's done. My

16 section of town has not had any rain water,

17 waste water pipes ever installed.

18 I guess 60 years is not long enough

19 to wait for city services. We have issues

20 doing the buildings that were cleared east of

21 the neighborhood without proper water

22 management. Last storm there was a major

23 flooding in a section that was repeatedly hit

24 and reported for years.

25 There was an issue of the city when
 31

 1 it's paving, it does not mill down the roads

 2 but they do a surface skim. I've seen roads

 3 with five layers of blacktop deep. The issue

 4 is, those roads now serve as high ground

 5 forcing the water over curbs and into driveways

 6 that were at one time above the road surface.

 7 Do our paving projects ever evaluate

 8 the slope and if the road is getting raised up

 9 too much by repeated layering? Onto tonight's

10 subjects on the board, Resolution 5-C, a

11 Steamtown Church. Why is this resolution here?

12 Simple. Because the uneven sidewalks have

13 caused a trip and fall hazard. They claim it's

14 to make the neighborhood safer and beautify it.

15 But it was stated that it was done

16 after several individuals experienced minor

17 incidents to the uneven sidewalks. The

18 Steamtown Church purchased the property and is

19 asking for public funds to be used to serve a

20 nonprofit to fix an issue they ignored as the

21 owners of the property.

22 So the citizens of the state are

23 supposed to entertain a grant for a nonprofit

24 because they failed to maintain and fix issues

25 on the property leaving a known hazardous area
 32

 1 and they desire taxpayers to repair it.

 2 It states the new sidewalk would

 3 demonstrate the church's commitment to

 4 maintaining a safe and attractive community

 5 space, but it's not the church's commitment.

 6 It's the taxpayers commitment to a nonprofit

 7 who shirked repair of their own property.

 8 I would like to know when the city

 9 first received the request. I see City Council

10 received it on 9/11. OECD did a resolution on

11 9/9, but nowhere even on the church's request

12 letter is there an actual original date of

13 submission for the grant.

14 I ask this because it's noted a

15 September 30th deadline. And not shocking, we

16 have three sessions before the deadline

17 including tonight. This precludes holding off

18 or getting real answers. Mr. McAndrew said you

19 have last minute legislation that lacks -- as

20 lacking as thrown before this board constantly.

21 It must pass in three sessions. The

22 original date request where applied was

23 nowhere. And I'd love to know what that is.

24 As a matter of fact, we have eight LSA grants

25 introduced tonight that all have a drop dead
 33

 1 date of September 30th that were all drafted on

 2 9/11.

 3 Hummer bid submitted on August 15

 4 for the Weston Park Field. It took 19 business

 5 days to get here at the last minute.

 6 Providence Pregnancy Center, a nonprofit, wants

 7 us to pay to pave their lots and to do their

 8 roots.

 9 The parking contractor wants us

10 after asking for a ton of money the last time

11 must not have remembered that their elevator

12 was broken and now wants more money on top of

13 it to fix their garages. This has got to stop.

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

15 MR. COYNE: It's got to stop.

16 MR. MANCINI: Good evening,

17 Scranton City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton.

18 Tonight we'll play a very familiar game on the

19 question. On the question, how important is

20 safety to each one of you? Last week I asked

21 very specific question pertaining to drugs and

22 unwanted opioid related deaths.

23 One question was answered, one that

24 we already knew the answer to, Lackawanna

25 County and the State Police have always
 34

 1 collaborated when any type of crime happens in

 2 our city.

 3 The city reaches out and they're

 4 there. So technically, none of my questions

 5 were answered last week. I would recommend

 6 that each one of you get a piece of paper,

 7 something to write with because I do not ask

 8 questions just for me.

 9 I ask them for others because they

10 need the same answers. Council owes it to

11 everyone to answer those questions when asked

12 because it's a basic requirement. To be

13 disrespectful to a speaker without answering

14 shows who you really are, just another cricket.

15 City of Scranton cannot afford

16 another minute of this Council's

17 ineffectiveness when it comes to just about

18 anything. On the question, what does each of

19 you think about the shortage of Scranton Police

20 Officers? In March, 2024, Scranton Police

21 Department had 147 full-time officers and 20

22 nonsworn civilian personnel.

23 I attribute the shortage of over 30

24 officers to switching to the police testing

25 from the same used by the Scranton Police --
 35

 1 sorry, State Police to National Testing Network

 2 while cities use -- that use this test go down

 3 to a 55 score. Scranton uses 70.

 4 April of 2024, 130 took this new

 5 test with over 100 not passing. The test ended

 6 up providing our amazing Scranton Police

 7 Department with only four officers. I

 8 attribute the shortage to the change in

 9 testing. Not one of you asked any questions

10 about why we are short officers.

11 Well, that's the answer, the change

12 in testing. Something else that changed was a

13 removal of the Narcotics Unit. At one time we

14 had 13 officers which were specific to drug

15 activity. Since the Mayor changed the police

16 department, now we only have five.

17 On the question, how important are

18 unwanted opioid related deaths to each of you?

19 We have five officers that work extremely hard

20 and need help. Politics and policing do not

21 mix. Only 2 percent of unwanted opioid related

22 deaths end up getting prosecuted.

23 Here in Scranton we have zero. We

24 have a Mayor who has created this climate. She

25 even has an extra set of doors locked in the
 36

 1 City of Scranton. The safety of our citizens

 2 here in Scranton should be the top priority,

 3 continue to lose our city daily to those who

 4 sell drugs and guns, putting our finest in

 5 danger because of the shortage that the Mayor

 6 and the City Council has created.

 7 When Council does not ask questions,

 8 nor utilize its caucus to get them, you also

 9 contribute to our problems daily. We have over

10 300 gang members active in our Scranton School

11 District.

12 It is not the extra -- it was not to

13 the -- to this extent five years ago. We need

14 change across the board. We deserve character.

15 We desire those who pay attention, look for the

16 problems before they begin with solutions. I

17 know what it looks like and feels like to lose

18 someone due to the opioid crisis, my only

19 child.

20 I'll get justice and closure.

21 Locally we do not have that. Not answering

22 questions means you condone these problems,

23 embracing them as if they were your own. So on

24 the question, do you think -- what do you think

25 attributed to the police shortage?
 37

 1 Is it alarming that only five

 2 officers are dedicated to drug activity? How

 3 many convictions since January 1st of 2020 for

 4 opioid related deaths? How important is the

 5 safety of our citizens and our finest?

 6 To the good people of Scranton, on

 7 the question, do you deserve better to a

 8 Scranton Police Department? Thank you. Good

 9 evening, Council.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

11 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie

12 Schumacher. I had problem and I don't know

13 maybe I just -- my fingers were sick. But I

14 had something happen at my house and I have

15 a -- somebody I could call. And when I tried

16 to call it, it was -- I couldn't get through.

17 So I went to the police, which I

18 called at 348-4130 which I got off the computer

19 and nobody answered that either. So I don't

20 know if that's wrong or if the numbers that's

21 on the computer are wrong, I don't know.

22 I would also like to know when will

23 the West Locust Bridge, the one between South

24 Scranton and West Side, when will that bridge

25 be useable again? It's been a very long time
 38

 1 at least to me.

 2 MR. SMURL: Yes, I don't know a

 3 completion date.

 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Pardon?

 5 MR. SMURL: I don't know when it's

 6 going to be usable.

 7 MS. SCHUMACHER: Well, also, there's

 8 another between at Waldorf Lane and Sky, those

 9 two, there's a section that has six of the

10 city's horses, you know, the wooden ones.

11 MR. SMURL: Yes.

12 MS. SCHUMACHER: And as far as I

13 could tell, nothing's been done there. But now

14 you have to go out into the other lane when

15 you're going down a hill.

16 MR. SMURL: I was told that should

17 be done within a week. I asked about it

18 yesterday.

19 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good, can't happen

20 too soon. But I think why can't that be on the

21 computer? I mean, when there are traffic

22 sections that are having something done, I

23 think everybody would like to be able to go on

24 the computer and find out when they -- what

25 they -- what they're doing and when it's going
 39

 1 to end. So I think that would be nice.

 2 I cannot read my writing -- my own

 3 writing here. I don't know. I'll have to keep

 4 that one for next week because I can't read my

 5 own writing.

 6 MR. SMURL: Marie, will you just

 7 tell me that number you dialled again,

 8 348-41 --

 9 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, sure, 348-4130.

10 MR. SMURL: Okay. Yeah, the only

11 one I know -- that I know is 348-4141 and then

12 911 naturally. I don't know about 30 -- I

13 don't know if anybody else knows --

14 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Well, I

15 don't know.

16 MR. SMURL: All right. Mr.

17 Voldenberg, will you check to see if that is

18 online that we're giving that number out, 4130?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

21 MS. SCHUMACHER: Okay. Thank you.

22 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?

23 MR. ARGENTA: Virgil Argenta,

24 Scranton. To clear up the East Mountain -- I

25 posted that a couple weeks. I spoke to the
 40

 1 director yesterday. And he said East Mountain

 2 is out for bid and he wants to get it fixed.

 3 But call-offs within the DPW and the project

 4 manager who is calling the shots continue to

 5 have this project on standby. So that's the

 6 reason.

 7 It has nothing to do with -- except

 8 with DPW guys calling off and the project

 9 manager having have them on standby. I've

10 reported that for two weeks and I took videos

11 and I also took pictures. Another thing you

12 may want to address that we're blaming the city

13 and the Council -- and I'll take responsibility

14 for that that you are not doing your job.

15 Most of these sewer drains are the

16 Pennsylvania American Water Company. And

17 Pennsylvania American Water Company is failing

18 to work with the city. So someone in the city

19 administration needs to get tougher and go

20 after American Water Company so that we do not

21 blame the city officials, Council, or the

22 Mayor.

23 And I'll take, you know,

24 responsibility for that because I blamed

25 Council, the Mayor, and yourselves and it's
 41

 1 not. It's the working of American Water

 2 Company. So if you want to have somebody be a

 3 point person and put the pressure on them

 4 because we do deserve better. Thank you,

 5 Mr. Smurl.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Argenta.

 7 Anyone else?

 8 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council,

 9 Dave Dobrzyn. I missed last week due to

10 somebody with an overpowered impact. I

11 couldn't get my own car part and other parts

12 broke and lots more. Watch those impacts when

13 you go to a mechanic shop. They're

14 overtorquing.

15 Anyhow, hopefully on the 500 block

16 which was an interest of mine, there will be no

17 stop lamp take away. Hopefully we can have a

18 bike lane. I don't favor bike lanes downtown.

19 And that's all there is to it. I just don't

20 favor them. It's confusing enough down there.

21 People get killed. I stood on that

22 island with the pizza and people zooming by me

23 and I was glad for it. So if they're going to

24 change it, they're going to change it. But I

25 will remind the speakers that come up here that
 42

 1 that was a Republican idea.

 2 And let's get to reassess. I don't

 3 know why adjacent to my house -- I just bought

 4 it because missy could putter around in it and

 5 she's not pesting me when I'm in the house or

 6 whatever and not to bad. We're married a long,

 7 long time, longer than some people are alive up

 8 there.

 9 And anyway, they reassessed it at --

10 I bought it for $3,100. They reassessed it at

11 $32,200. And I certainly hope that I don't get

12 one heck of a bill because I can't afford it.

13 It's above my head. And it's not

14 constructible. So that's what my argument is.

15 I had an appeal down there and I got

16 rejected. And my -- I tried to go to court but

17 it's like, well, we don't see it that way, you

18 know, so that's not right. As far as police,

19 people with good personality trait should be

20 given help in passing. But they must pass, no

21 curve.

22 I've seen it in technical school

23 where there is big curves. And the next thing

24 you know a guy or two gets loose or whatever

25 while -- I was a guy course type person and it
 43

 1 makes a name for the school. And, yeah, well,

 2 then everybody gets that name and title.

 3 And I've been watching this AI. And

 4 I don't know what we need all of this computing

 5 for. Do they want to know whether I have

 6 pimples on my back or what? But anyway, mine

 7 water, could be used for cooling and heating.

 8 It's 45 degrees Fahrenheit year round.

 9 Electrical, I don't have an answer

10 for yet. But geothermal would be the answer to

11 that. Don't drive my water bill out through

12 the ceiling, please. I don't need to see water

13 going down the sewer that's fresh. It's very

14 expensive nowadays as you may have noticed.

15 Now, all week I have hearing

16 radical left lunatics when Frank Pelosi got

17 struck on the head with a hammer, he was

18 potentially a gay lover. Other situations

19 unite the right, somebody hit a lady with a

20 car, killed her.

21 We had January 6th and when our FBI

22 Director Patel, got news of this he said we

23 will see you in Valhalla. Well, Valhalla was

24 pagan heaven for Vikings that died in battle.

25 You had to die in battle. You had to die from
 44

 1 the sword or an ax or something else. So who

 2 has the wrong mind plot here?

 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 4 MR. DOBRZYN: Thank you and have a

 5 good night.

 6 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?

 7 MR. LITTLE: Hello. I'm Rik Little,

 8 still running for Mayor of Scranton. Went to

 9 the library today, picked up the city budget.

10 Doesn't make a lot of sense to me to spend two

11 and a half million on Biden Street streetscape

12 considering everything else that's going on.

13 I'd like to just say that we came

14 very close to losing our whole country. Things

15 are moving around and we are all Charlie Kirk.

16 He -- all he did was communicate with people,

17 no inequality, none of the stuff that the whole

18 globalist network pushes.

19 When it comes to politics,

20 especially at the municipal and county level, I

21 mean, I come from Illinois which has more

22 municipalities than any other thing. But I'm

23 looking at these Home Rule Charters. I mean,

24 when they're passed it goes back to a court

25 case called the Dillon Act because the judge
 45

 1 was named Dillon.

 2 And it was something like Clinton

 3 versus Railroads. That's what made it legal to

 4 have a Home Rule Charter which we have in

 5 Lackawanna County. And, you know, it's just

 6 going through the machinations of the judicial

 7 branch. And that is the big problem.

 8 If you can't see the big problem in

 9 our government, it's just like Thomas Jefferson

10 said in 1802, like, thieves in the night with

11 case law we're going to lose our republic

12 through this. And he was right. And all the

13 prosecutions of Trump and all of these people

14 goes on in the media.

15 We have to get a handle on that --

16 that sort of thing around here. I'm reading in

17 the budget, you know, about, you know, shall

18 be, you know, if any section of this clause or

19 ordinance shall be held invalid or

20 unconstitutional by a court of common

21 jurisdiction, it shall not affect anything

22 else.

23 Well, I certainly went through the

24 ringer. They made me homeless at Scranton

25 Housing Authority. And they plug people in.
 46

 1 They plug the managers in. And these managers

 2 are on the speed dial of the judges.

 3 So when I talk to the judge, it's

 4 like, oh, you know, I'm going to call them up.

 5 We know them. And I even met with the Mayor

 6 and she confirmed that, yeah, they're all on

 7 the speed dial. This is a lot of property.

 8 And, you know, I saw right away when I moved in

 9 there that it was a criminal racket going on,

10 fires every single week.

11 And they have to get the Fire Chief

12 to sign off for the Harry Insurance Company.

13 And you call the police and the police say see

14 the manager. And so I fought it for five

15 years. And, you know, these judges and

16 magistrates, these are part of the government.

17 And that's the problem in

18 Pennsylvania. There's three judges running.

19 Nobody vote for those judges because that, you

20 know, just as in and the whole federal sphere,

21 it's very much real in the Pennsylvania sphere

22 because these people run and you don't know

23 what they are -- not that it means anything,

24 Democrat, Republican.

25 But it's basically this town is a
 47

 1 Democrat run thing. And people are going crazy

 2 now, you know, misconstruing. They aren't

 3 educated about the Constitution Freedom of

 4 Speech. And we have to make this place better.

 5 There has to be leadership, leadership. We

 6 need a DPW in this city that has pride and

 7 works.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

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

10 MOTIONS.

11 MR. SMURL: I will do Mr. King's

12 motions at the end. Mr. Schuster, do you have

13 any motions or comments?

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

15 Last week we had the Scranton Redevelopment

16 Authority Director in the other day. I did ask

17 about their annual budgets and if they had any

18 audited financial statements. She said she

19 would provide them. Did she send any of that

20 over to Council?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: Not as yet. She is

22 preparing them.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you very

24 much if we could just follow up on those.

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
 48

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I sent in

 2 the ten hundred block Cottage Ave, a little

 3 while ago. There was an update on it but I

 4 didn't receive it. I believe Mr. Smurl got an

 5 update on Cottage Ave.

 6 MR. SMURL: On one of the structures

 7 there, yeah. People were getting in at night.

 8 And I believe they were taking the plywood off

 9 the front door and going in. And in the

10 morning when they left, they were just pushing

11 the plywood back. So I did send it down. They

12 said they would go board it up properly.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: That one's on the

14 condemn list but not on the demo list, correct,

15 Mr. Voldenberg?

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

18 you. I got a call today about South Summer.

19 The water main and the lateral -- the lateral

20 connectors there where the road has been cut

21 it's starting to sink. Is it possible that we

22 could get an update on when South Summer will

23 be milled and paved if we don't have that

24 already?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.
 49

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

 2 very much. That's not going to be done before

 3 the winter, which I hope it is. We do have to

 4 get them to go out and fill that so it's --

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'm sure it's on

 6 the 2025 paving list. But I'll double-check.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

 8 very much. I also got a call about the

 9 intersection of Pittston and Pear. I sent over

10 some photographs today. There's large holes on

11 the curbs on the road which makes it difficult

12 to park in that area. So if we could have them

13 go to that area --

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: They were received

15 by 311.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

17 We also received an e-mail about 2501 Boulevard

18 Ave. I know everybody on Council got it. It

19 was a message from Mr. Romantics. Going back

20 quite some time I got Mr. Romantics in contact

21 with Tom Reilly the City Engineer as well as

22 Morgan Fetsock.

23 So the two of them are really aware

24 of the situation that's been going on there for

25 quite some time. Do we know if anyone from the
 50

 1 city administration has reached out to him at

 2 this point?

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I sent that to the

 4 administration to revisit it and I spoke with

 5 Mr. Romantics this morning.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Can we just

 7 make sure that someone, whether it be Morgan or

 8 whether it be a city engineer gives him a call

 9 and make sure that they call and talk with him?

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. And we're

11 including the water company also.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you

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

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

15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

16 comments?

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

18 Thank you. I was asked again to bring up the

19 crosswalks on Harrison Avenue that have not

20 been repainted yet. So if we could get in

21 contact with them again? I previously spoken

22 with our BA about it. So I'm not sure what the

23 status is.

24 I know that the city has done them

25 in the past even though it's a state road. So
 51

 1 I don't know if they are trying to get the

 2 state to do them instead, but if we could --

 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll get a

 4 status for you.

 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

 6 there's a property I brought up quite a few

 7 times in the past and neighbors were asking

 8 about it again to see what was going on with

 9 it. It's 621 Rear Alder Street.

10 So I know in the past they tried

11 taking people to the magistrate regarding that

12 property, not clear on what's happened since.

13 But it's still a vacant blighted property

14 that's not being used.

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I believe that was

16 on the demo list. I'll followup on its status.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: I thought so too but

18 nothing's happened with it.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: It's been a while.

20 I agree.

21 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you.

22 And over in Nay Aug Park there's the two

23 playgrounds now, the newer butterfly playground

24 and then there is still an older structure

25 that's there. And there are -- I know that
 52

 1 it -- it's in need of mulch. And I discussed

 2 this with Councilman Smurl who said that there

 3 was an issue with being able to get the rubber

 4 mulch up to that section of the park because of

 5 the other ongoing construction.

 6 But there are quite a lot of weeds

 7 around the swings and areas that children are

 8 playing. And I was up there over the weekend

 9 and it was quite busy. It stills gets a lot of

10 use by children. But it is -- the equipment is

11 in poor shape.

12 There was a piece of wood missing

13 from part of it that I'm afraid a child could

14 fall through. So I could forward along photos

15 of some of the repairs and cleanup that's

16 needed there.

17 MR. VOLDENBERG: And I'll notify

18 Parks and Rec.

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And

20 we're still having beautiful weather. So, I

21 mean, our parks are still being utilized a lot.

22 We still have some time to do that. And just

23 to provide an update on a complaint I received

24 about Capouse Avenue an old broken -- I don't

25 know if it was telephone pole that needed to be
 53

 1 removed.

 2 And I was told that DPW was

 3 addressing it for removal. But I haven't

 4 gotten confirmation as to -- if it has been

 5 removed yet. So perhaps we could check on the

 6 status of that. That's been --

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll speak

 8 with the acting director.

 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And I

10 had also asked about updates from American

11 Water regarding their projects and when pavings

12 and full restoration would take place. And

13 Mr. Oselinski replied very quickly with updated

14 list with I think about 29 different projects

15 and approximations of when they should be

16 complete.

17 It looks like all them should be by

18 October, so fingers crossed that all happens.

19 And I just wanted to respond to something that

20 Mr. Mancini was asking about. He had some

21 questions and I -- I appreciate the passion

22 that he has for addressing drug related crime

23 within the city and the opioid crisis and I am

24 sorry for the loss that you've had.

25 And I hope that you've gotten
 54

 1 justice for your son and that you find peace.

 2 But I know I've been connected a lot in past to

 3 different recovery organizations and gone on

 4 tours and participated in events around even

 5 though I'm not someone in recovery.

 6 But I just know a lot of people in

 7 that community and so I, you know, I do believe

 8 it's important to -- for it to be addressed.

 9 And I do believe that our police department is

10 doing that. I understand the concerns with

11 the -- with the staffing shortage.

12 And I don't think we can attribute

13 that to any particular thing or like the

14 changes in the exam. I don't think correlation

15 equals causation. I know that Chief Carroll

16 has been in here in the past and has talked

17 about the struggles that they have had with

18 staffing and some of the reasons behind that.

19 And I think it being a larger trend

20 that we're seeing across the country of having

21 difficulty finding officers. And so I think

22 some of these changes they're trying to make

23 are to get more officers. I mean, we can -- we

24 can certainly ask for, you know, more

25 clarification if there are any other barriers
 55

 1 that they feel like they're having that -- that

 2 we can help so that we are a fully staffed

 3 police department.

 4 But I know things like what's on for

 5 the legislation tonight is to help that

 6 situation. So that's all I have to say on

 7 that. Thank you.

 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr.

 9 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, any motions or

10 comments?

11 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you, a few. So

12 a blighted property on 711 West Elm Street has

13 been brought to my attention. Neighbors are

14 telling me that the resident is always throwing

15 garbage in the backyard which is attracting

16 skunks and possums and other animals.

17 I guess there's also a washer and

18 dryer that is in the yard, a refrigerator is

19 sitting on the back porch. It's been for a few

20 weeks now. I think I forwarded the pictures to

21 you earlier. And I guess he's having problems

22 with the neighbor.

23 He's always screaming at the

24 neighbor's dog. So if you could just please

25 pass that onto the proper departments to take a
 56

 1 look at.

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did. That was

 3 sent this morning upon receipt of your e-mail.

 4 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. Thank you.

 5 Also, I know I brought this up before. But the

 6 property behind Burger King on Meridian Avenue

 7 across from the Dollar Store is extremely

 8 overgrown, got worse.

 9 A resident has to drive by there all

10 the time say, you know, he can't go down the

11 road and to check if there's another car coming

12 it's becoming a public safety issue. So he's

13 concerned about that and so am I because I know

14 the area.

15 Then the 900 block of Brook Street

16 where it kind of meets this log road in the

17 crossroads, it leads down to where the train

18 track is for the trolley. It runs over there.

19 There's a substantial amount of growth there

20 that even cars driving by are scratching --

21 they're scratching their cars.

22 And the neighbors used to actually

23 take it upon themselves and cut it back, but

24 it's just too much for them anymore. So if you

25 could alert code enforcement with that,
 57

 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

 2 MR. MCANDREW: Also, I mean, I

 3 brought this up more than once. This is a

 4 crosswalk. I mean, they're everywhere now.

 5 You can't walk anywhere without walking over a

 6 crosswalk. And that's great, but I still think

 7 the schools should be the biggest focus.

 8 And I know that I brought this issue

 9 up in the past. So it's the update on the 1739

10 Dickson Avenue Lincoln Jackson Academy

11 crosswalk. So if we could please get an update

12 on that. I know there was a little pause

13 because of the, you know, the engineering, the

14 City Engineer and what have you and a

15 conversation with PennDOT.

16 But it's the fourth week of school.

17 Like I said, there's crosswalks everywhere. I

18 think this is a priority. So I'd like to know

19 what happened if we could please be updated

20 with that.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

22 MR. MCANDREW: Speaking of storm

23 drains like everybody does every week and I

24 realize, you know, we've asked this before.

25 And we've asked the city to please identify
 58

 1 which ones are ours and which ones are American

 2 Water.

 3 I don't think we ever got a true

 4 list who owns who -- whom's, but whatever, when

 5 I do see horses just put around them, sometimes

 6 it just says Scranton. Sometimes it says DPW.

 7 I want to know for sure, first of all, how long

 8 are horses, you know, they're put there with an

 9 intent to come back and fix it, right, but my

10 question is, every collapsed storm drain or

11 hole I see around a storm drain in the city

12 with horses in front of it or barricading it,

13 are they all ours?

14 Or are they barricading these storm

15 drains that are owned by American Water and

16 waiting for them to come to fulfill their

17 responsibility? I just need that

18 clarification.

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those

20 questions.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Like I said, in

22 addition, okay, once we identify that it's

23 collapsed, I mean, I don't want to hear that

24 we're waiting to fix all of these with the

25 stormwater project, because that's not the
 59

 1 answer I want to hear.

 2 I just want to know how long is it

 3 going to -- when it's identified, what's the

 4 time, okay, we take a look at it, when do we

 5 fix it. All right. And if we identify that

 6 it's not ours, well, then are we putting up

 7 horses and protecting American Water's

 8 damaged -- not protecting it but, you know,

 9 just putting a band aid on it when American

10 Water should be fixing it. If you could just

11 clarify all of that for me because --

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

13 MR. MCANDREW: It's getting more and

14 more visual throughout the --

15 MR. VOLDENBERG: And we're still

16 waiting on the water company basin list. I'll

17 follow up on that also.

18 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, okay, but we

19 need to hear from them. So I also inquired

20 last week over the piece of legislation if I

21 was missing something. If I was missing in the

22 legislation -- it was a lot of money regarding

23 Lackawanna Avenue, all right, the bike lanes

24 and what have you.

25 And I asked a question. I said,
 60

 1 okay, if it's not in this legislation, is there

 2 legislation coming down based on the

 3 walkability study that, you know, was, you

 4 know, a lot of residents didn't have the

 5 opportunity to meet.

 6 I think there was only one meeting

 7 and voice their concerns and issues that is

 8 there legislation coming down to remove the

 9 stop lights and replace them with signs -- stop

10 sign. I don't agree with it. So I am

11 reporting out what the response I got is.

12 That doesn't mean I like it or in

13 agreement. It says technical specifications

14 for the legislation are currently being

15 completed by the project engineers. Once

16 completed, it will be sent to Council.

17 So I take that as they already

18 decided, all right. They pretty much made the

19 decision after one meeting not really --

20 because I hear a lot about it all the time,

21 Mark, you can't change streetlights for stop

22 signs, not downtown. I mean, that's absurd,

23 especially on Lackawanna Avenue.

24 So I got my answer. So I'm going to

25 wait for this legislation. I can't wait for
 61

 1 it. I know I'm not in favor of it. I'm just

 2 letting you know it's coming. And I was

 3 wondering when it was coming. And I was right.

 4 It is coming.

 5 Also, last week I inquired about

 6 maybe a different strategy for, you know, the

 7 ATV situation that it's gotten worse. It's

 8 never gotten better. I know that we had an

 9 ordinance. I know we tightened it up a little

10 bit. But it's not working. So I did ask last

11 week if there was anything in the works or if

12 there's a new strategy or at least we could

13 have a dialogue with the administration

14 including electric bikes that seem to be

15 everywhere, you know.

16 We need to enforce this especially

17 electric bikes. There's kids like Mr. Ellman

18 said. It's horrible. I see them on the same

19 Main Avenue that he does. All right. So they

20 never responded, right?

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: That is

22 forthcoming. They advised us today they'll

23 have the answer next week.

24 MR. MCANDREW: All right. In

25 addition to my inquiry about, you know, what's
 62

 1 strategy for all of these cars that are parked

 2 on sidewalks and in yards, all right, that are

 3 very visible throughout city now.

 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: Same. They're all

 5 police department questions.

 6 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Well,

 7 thank you. I look forward to them answers next

 8 week. That's all I have. Thank you.

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

10 This is response from Mr. King -- Councilman

11 King from I believe it was from the Chief that

12 he had asked questions on legislation is for

13 entry level officers only.

14 And number two is must have

15 completed Act 120 certification. Officers from

16 outside of Pennsylvania would need to complete

17 all of the sections of Act 120. And the third

18 is higher rank transfers will be paid with

19 experience.

20 The fourth is budgeted is 152

21 officers for 2025. The total includes 97

22 regular patrol officers. So the total Scranton

23 Police Department is 172 with everyone. The

24 department is the approximately 8 to 10

25 officers short at this time.
 63

 1 And factors affecting shortage of

 2 officers includes retirements, workers' comp,

 3 and other injuries or illnesses. So thank you,

 4 Mr. King. That is it, Mr. Voldenberg.

21 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Chairman, I move

22 that Item 6-A pass reading by title.

 8 TITLE - FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 95, 2025 - AN

 9 ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING ENTRY-LEVEL EMPLOYMENT

10 IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT COMPETITION

11 UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AFFECTING PUBLIC

12 SAFETY.

13 MR. SMURL: You've heard reading by

14 title of Item 6-B. What is your pleasure?

15 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Chairman, I move

16 that Item 6-B pass reading by title.

17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

18 MR. SMURL: On the question?

19 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, as

20 it was on the Civil Service Commission agenda

21 for September, if we could just reach out to

22 their solicitor and get their opinions on that?

23 With this ordinance, it does appear that the

24 individuals that would be hired would have

25 civil service and Act 120 already established.
 74

 1 So it doesn't seem to be an issue. But I would

 2 love to hear what they have to say.

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

 4 All those in favor --

 5 MR. MCANDREW: I have something to

 6 say too. So I looked at this last week. I

 7 looked at it this week. I think this is a nice

 8 tool for lateral moves. And, you know, no

 9 offense, but we're not hiring mall cops here

10 and no offense to them.

11 The movie was pretty funny, but, you

12 know, this is after the resident requirements

13 was removed. This gives opportunity to people

14 that don't have to move in the city that maybe

15 want to work for the police department that

16 already have the training needed and

17 experience.

18 This reminds me of saying, hey, I

19 don't think there is anything to see here.

20 This reminds me of saying, hey, I want to go

21 and apply at a different vocational school and

22 as a lateral move. All I got to do under the

23 Pennsylvania Department of Education is bring

24 my cert with me, my clearances; and I'll be

25 vetted out like anybody else.
 75

 1 But it's not like I'm going to --

 2 going trying to get a job and teach welding.

 3 That wouldn't make sense. So it's a lateral

 4 move with the proper experience, the proper

 5 training. I think this is, you know, fiscally

 6 responsible alternative instead of, you know,

 7 it's definitely less expensive.

 8 It makes sense to me. And also, you

 9 know, everybody keeps talking about what about

10 our staffing numbers. This is -- I think is

11 also a way to increase them that we need to do.

12 This is another option. I don't see anything

13 wrong with this process.

14 Now that it's, you know, now that it

15 was kind of done, you know, when we had the

16 resident requirement, now it's just a

17 formalized transparent process that's in the

18 form of an ordinance. So I'm definitely

19 supporting this.

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

21 All those in favor signify by saying aye.

22 MR. KING: Aye.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye.

24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye.

25 MR. MCANDREW: Aye.
 76

 1 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes

 2 have it and so moved.

15 WORKS - FOR ADOPTION - RESOLUTION NO. 252,

16 2025 - AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND OTHER

17 APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE AND ENTER

18 INTO A CONTRACT WITH TITAN TREE SERVICES INC.

19 TO PERFORM PROFESSIONAL TREE SERVICES FOR THE

20 CITY OF SCRANTON.

21 MR. SMURL: What is the

22 recommendation of the Chairperson for the

23 Committee on Public Works?

24 MR. SCHUSTER: As Chairperson for

25 the Committee on Public Works, I recommend
 81

 1 final passage of Item 7-E.

 2 MR. MCANDREW: Second.

 3 MR. SMURL: On the question?

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: So on the question,

 5 we talked about the definition of emergency

 6 services here. It was stated that DPW is going

 7 to assess the situation first and they are

 8 going to decide whether tree removals are

 9 beyond their ability. And at that point, we

10 would go into this company completing the tree

11 companies, correct?

12 MR. SMURL: I believe that would be

13 the right procedure.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. This contract

15 is only year long correct, Mr. Gilbride?

16 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: If it had to be

18 renewed, it has to come back before Council for

19 renewal?

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Or they don't have

21 to pass another contract.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you.

23 MR. MCANDREW: Also on the question,

24 in addition to this, so I talked about this in

25 caucus. I kind of remember some legislation
 82

 1 late spring, early summer about a program to

 2 aid some elderly residents that can't afford to

 3 take down a tree in their yard, not the one

 4 that the Shade Commission is responsible for,

 5 not the one that's on a neighbor's yard, all

 6 right.

 7 So I just -- I briefly remember it.

 8 I want to know if this program would be

 9 intertwined with this maybe, you know,

10 utilizing these services or the services of

11 DPW. But could you just find out for me, Mr.

12 Voldenberg, you know, where are we at with that

13 program per se that was introduced and has any

14 residents benefitted from it?

15 And also, what is the actual

16 process? Is there a form on the website that I

17 didn't really take a look at to see if there is

18 but just to see what the process is. It was

19 budgeted. There was money put aside for it.

20 So let's see if it was utilized

21 for -- or if we can get it out there because I

22 always hear, you know, being out there that,

23 you know, there's some residents, they can't

24 afford this, you know, and taking out a big

25 tree in their yard.
 83

 1 And, you know, the neighbors

 2 complain about it because it's, you know, it's,

 3 you know, it's growing over another property.

 4 I mean, this might be a, you know, a resolve

 5 for someone that can't really afford it.

 6 I just want to know -- I mean, maybe

 7 that was the reason for this legislation. But

 8 I just want to know if it was utilized at all

 9 this summer.

10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask tomorrow.

11 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank

12 you.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: With that also being

14 said, he said when it comes to private

15 property, a tree would only be cut if the tree

16 wasn't -- tree on private property would only

17 be cut if it's a danger to others other than

18 the property owner, correct?

19 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Can we --

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check further.

22 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. If you could

23 check for me, please. Currently our tree

24 cutter is -- the position has -- the individual

25 has bid out of this position, correct, from
 84

 1 what we're hearing?

 2 MR. SMURL: Yes --

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Can we find out --

 4 I've been told that there's possibly two

 5 different job descriptions. If we take a look

 6 at -- get a copy of those two different job

 7 descriptions, see if there's -- if they've been

 8 both mutually agreed upon or if there's been

 9 some updates that have occurred unilaterally

10 when it comes to the tree cutter position.

11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

13 you.

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

15 Roll call, please.

16 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King.

17 MR. KING: Yes.

18 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster.

19 final passage of Item 7-G.

20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

21 MR. SMURL: On the question?

22 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, as I

23 said last week, I'm happy to see these

24 stormwater projects moving forward, obviously

25 much needed in Keyser Valley.
 87

 1 Again, glad to see them moving

 2 forward. An update that I gave last week is,

 3 invitations to bid went out on September 4th

 4 for two different projects, one was the

 5 Fawnwood Phase One stormwater project. That

 6 bid closes on 9/23.

 7 And the second project that was --

 8 went out as an invitation to bid was stormwater

 9 conveyance system on Dewy and Merrifield Ave.

10 So those are two projects that are going to

11 start moving forward as bids are coming in for

12 the start of that work.
