23 MR. MCANDREW: I have a quick one.

24 So I know we just did our regular moment of

25 silence, but I can't stop thinking about the
 5

 1 poor little lost souls of the horrific flooding

 2 event last week at Camp Mystic. My heart,

 3 thoughts, and prayers go out to them, their

 4 families, God bless them and the brave first

 5 responders for all of their heroic efforts.

 6 That is all I have. Thanks.

 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 8 I just have one announcement. Another payment

 9 on our in lieu of taxes, it came from the

10 Society for the Preservation of Tripp Family

11 Homestead, so another payment in lieu of taxes.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

13 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION.

14 MR. SMURL: First is Leslie Collins.

15 MS. COLLINS: Good evening, Council.

16 I'm Leslie Collins, President and CEO of

17 Scranton Tomorrow. I'm here this evening

18 regarding the parking system legislation. I

19 did attend the recent caucus. And I did hear

20 the -- more of a detailed plan from Dave

21 Trevisani, which we are all very grateful to

22 have more details.

23 I would like to share that yesterday

24 I did have a personal conversation with Dave.

25 And we were on the phone for quite some time
 6

 1 and I had a lot questions on behalf of our

 2 downtown small business owners.

 3 I think the conversation was very

 4 productive and hoping that it will have a

 5 beneficial turnout. Also, I'd like to note

 6 that this afternoon I had a lengthy

 7 conversation with Mayor Cognetti as well as

 8 Jessica Eskra.

 9 And I believe that conversation also

10 was extremely beneficial so that we understood

11 both sides of, you know, where we are at with

12 the legislation.

13 I would like to note and to thank

14 all of our small businesses who are here this

15 evening. I think you could see from everyone

16 seated in the gallery that we are really lucky

17 to have the business community that we have in

18 downtown Scranton.

19 Our business owners are not only

20 committed to their own businesses, but they are

21 committed to their neighbor's business as well.

22 So they really have just an absolutely

23 magnificent relationship. And so I'm sure

24 you're going to hear from many of them this

25 evening.
 7

 1 But please recognize that they may

 2 not only be here for their own business, most

 3 likely they are here in support of their

 4 neighboring businesses as well.

 5 So Scranton Tomorrow understands the

 6 financial complications of the parking system

 7 and the pressing need for the restructuring of

 8 this significant debt. Throughout the years in

 9 our role as a community convener, we have

10 successfully brought together parking

11 representatives, city officials, and members of

12 our small business community for discussion,

13 idea sharing and resolution of various

14 concerns.

15 Today based on the recent press and

16 the Council agenda, I'm here to represent the

17 downtown business community along with them and

18 by their side and relay their greatest concern

19 which has been relayed to us of the proposed

20 legislation which is specifically the

21 implementation of Saturday metered hours

22 between the hours of say, 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

23 Regarding the caucus presentation

24 from this evening, I absolutely understand the

25 intent of the expansion of the metered hours is
 8

 1 to manage traffic flow, increase turnover and

 2 discourage long-term parkers in high demand

 3 areas, all of which are absolutely valid

 4 concerns. And I know we would support that

 5 intent.

 6 However, I would ask that Council

 7 and the administration please review what I

 8 believe to be an existing ordinance on the

 9 books, which is 439-20 which prohibits parking

10 during nighttime hours. It is very vague. It

11 does not specifically describe one specific

12 location.

13 But I think it certainly is worth

14 some investigation and how that ordinance which

15 is currently already on the books could be

16 enforced in a different manner.

17 Scranton Tomorrow serving as the

18 downtown business advocate has been contacted

19 by numerous businesses, property owners,

20 developers and residents fearful of the

21 economic impact of the expanded metered parking

22 hours on Saturday between the hours identified

23 in the legislation.

24 The concern is not only for the

25 bottom line of their own particular business,
 9

 1 it's, as I said, concern of the overall

 2 economic security of their neighboring

 3 businesses as well as their own employee base.

 4 For the majority of the downtown

 5 businesses, Saturdays represent the most

 6 critical period for sales, foot traffic, and

 7 most definitely special events.

 8 Recognizing the complexity of the

 9 refinancing and the immediate need to move this

10 legislation forward, we would respectfully ask

11 that you review and consider revising the

12 section regarding implementation of Saturday

13 metered parking to a more mutually beneficial

14 outcome, supporting both the parking system,

15 refinancing, and the downtown business

16 community.

17 I think we would all agree -- and I

18 don't think this could be disputed, that a well

19 structured and financially sound parking system

20 is truly critical to the health and the

21 vibrancy of your core business district. And

22 without that in place, we would certainly see

23 disorder that would occur.

24 However, we do feel very strongly

25 that it is important to support our small
 10

 1 businesses who truly are the backbone of our

 2 community. So I would once again respectfully

 3 ask for that review. And I thank you for the

 4 opportunity to address Council.

 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Leslie. And

 6 that ordinance for parking, you know, that

 7 covers the entire City of Scranton of Scranton.

 8 MS. COLLINS: Yes, it very vague.

 9 MR. SMURL: Very vague and --

10 MS. COLLINS: -- maybe I should say

11 it's very --

12 MR. SMURL: -- bars they have to

13 close at 11:00, I don't think so.

14 MS. COLLINS: Yes, but maybe it is

15 worth, you know, maybe --

16 MR. SMURL: It would have to be

17 revised or redone, but thank you.

18 MS. COLLINS: Yes, maybe this would

19 be an opportunity. Thank you.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. George

21 Semian.

22 MR. SEMIAN: Hello. I'm George

23 Semian. I live at 200 Adams, downtown, love

24 living there. This -- my head is spinning from

25 all of this. They didn't answer, first of all,
 11

 1 who is going to police this? Like, that is a

 2 big concern. The meter people come out. Now

 3 the hours right now are eight to five, correct,

 4 during the week.

 5 I see them come out at 8:30. They

 6 are gone by four. I could pay in front of my

 7 building at 10:00 until 3:00 and I won't get a

 8 ticket because they are so spread out. They

 9 have to police up by CMC. They to police over

10 by Regional Hospital. There's two women.

11 There's two women. So there is so

12 much loss right there in revenue, in my

13 opinion. The kiosks, they didn't say anything

14 about maintaining the kiosks. As far as the

15 kiosks go, they are vandalized. The stickers

16 are off them.

17 They're filthy. Some of them don't

18 work. And I do agree with the parking times

19 that should be on there because it's not --

20 it's not clear to the general public. I want

21 to give an example of people that pay downtown.

22 If you look at the old hotel where

23 the -- I forget -- Red Roof or whatever it's

24 called down there, it's packed during the day.

25 They get $50 per spot to park there. A lot of
 12

 1 the people from the county park over there

 2 because it's $50.

 3 Okay, so when I get up in the

 4 morning, there's a parking garage right next to

 5 my apartment. And three quarters of it is

 6 empty. Doesn't it make more sense to lower the

 7 parking rate for residents? I pay $92 because

 8 I live a half a block from that parking garage.

 9 Why -- again, their forecasting,

10 it's just not -- it's just like totally out of

11 whack because I don't think, first of all, they

12 didn't ask anyone. They didn't say, okay,

13 let's sit down and -- and look at our other

14 options.

15 And, you know, I mean, it just

16 didn't happen. So that part is really

17 frustrating because the garages are empty. And

18 he kept saying, oh, it's a dollar an hour.

19 It's a dollar an hour. It doesn't matter.

20 They are still empty. People are not going to

21 the garage, like, it's just not happening.

22 Also, I was just informed that the

23 Hilton pays or guests pay $15 for overnight

24 parking in the garages. Do you go to New York

25 do you pay $15 overnight in Manhattan for
 13

 1 parking? Why are they only being charged $15

 2 an hour, like, come on. It just doesn't make

 3 sense.

 4 I don't know what else to say about

 5 it. But it's just very disparaging. But I

 6 think the problem is policing the situation

 7 because it's not going to happen. Also, half

 8 the signs are down. They get knocked down by

 9 trucks or snowplows in the winter. Half the

10 parking spots aren't there.

11 Getting back to the attendants, they

12 let Verizon park on that whole block of Adams

13 Avenue, don't charge them for anything. I just

14 don't understand the whole -- like, it's just

15 the mathematics of it. Like, the people are

16 not -- we're not giving you the input for

17 these people.

18 And I don't think they looked at the

19 other options. They haven't. So I just

20 don't -- I just see that they're -- as far as

21 the weekend goes, it's not -- I don't think it

22 should happen. If the parking goes until 7:00

23 at night, if they don't have the help, it's not

24 going to happen.

25 They don't police them during the
 14

 1 day enough. So I know everybody here speaks --

 2 they're going to have similar things that they

 3 want to say. But it's just -- and again, not

 4 hearing about it until I read it in the

 5 newspaper.

 6 This was the most substantial thing

 7 that was in the newspaper for the past month.

 8 So, you know, in closing, I think the residents

 9 should still have some input, the business

10 owners. And let's at least talk about it.

11 Like, we didn't have a chance to talk about it

12 because there are other revenue sources by just

13 having common sense. That's all I have to say.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, George. Joan

15 Hodowanitz.

16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

17 Scranton, well if ever a major piece of

18 legislation should have been preceded by a town

19 hall, this is it. We hear about the major

20 stakeholders, you know, the CDPS, the city and

21 the bondholder.

22 What about the downtown residents?

23 What about the business owners and their

24 employees and people who work downtown? What

25 about organizations like the universities and
 15

 1 the medical college and the library, all of

 2 whom have a vested interest in this type of

 3 legislation.

 4 This should have been preceded by a

 5 town hall where there could have been a greater

 6 exchange of opinions and comments. This seems

 7 to me like, oh, well, we're in a crisis

 8 situation so let's get this legislation passed

 9 and we'll go home for August. I'm not happy

10 about that.

11 I went back and looked at the

12 slideshow that they presented on June 16th. A

13 couple things came to mind. Two of the

14 objectives for these parking changes, it's

15 important for economic development and it will

16 reduce driver stress. Are you kidding me?

17 And then, okay, what are some of the

18 reasons why they're in such financial dire

19 straits, Covid. The last time I looked, Covid

20 had died about three years ago. And that's an

21 excuse that needs to be put to bed. You could

22 only use that so many times and then it's gone.

23 I can't believe that they are using

24 that as an excuse. I could understand the

25 first two years but not until 2025.
 16

 1 Then they have the nerve to put in

 2 their slideshow that the city can implement a

 3 parking tax on the city's parking lots and

 4 meters. Just what the city needs right now,

 5 another tax. I'm sure that will go over quite

 6 well just like the predicted rain tax did.

 7 I want to know did they contact

 8 these private parking lot owners? Did they

 9 talk to, you know, any of the residents

10 downtown? I got an e-mail from my property

11 manager telling me that we should come to this

12 meeting tonight because our parking fees are

13 going to be the highest in Northeastern

14 Pennsylvania.

15 I want to know if that's true.

16 These extended hours, especially on Saturday,

17 you can't drop a bombshell like that and not

18 give the public a chance to express their

19 concerns more than just one or two weeks. I

20 think that's wrong.

21 You know, what about the developers

22 downtown? You know, you talk about -- you want

23 to get the permanent parkers, you know, get

24 these downtown residents parking in the parking

25 garage. Most of your downtown residents fall
 17

 1 into two groups, retirees like me and students.

 2 And guess who has the least amount

 3 of disposal income to go throw around, retirees

 4 and students. And for them to get this as a

 5 summer present, oh, this is just going to be a

 6 joy. I wonder, you know, I mean, if you were

 7 John Basalyga or a Charlie Jefferson, would you

 8 want to renovate another building into

 9 apartments?

10 You know, I mean, this is going to

11 change the calculous for the demand for

12 downtown apartments. It will. It will because

13 so many are students. And if you think I'm

14 wrong, go down to Samters and knock on every

15 door. They are 99 percent students. And I'm

16 sure that's true of a lot of the buildings.

17 I don't know. There's so much to

18 say and so little time. I'm glad that they

19 applied for grants. And I think it's wonderful

20 that they'll want to put solar panels. I'm

21 sure that will generate a lot of income. But I

22 want to know why we have to rush this through

23 and why can't we have more time for a more

24 formal exchange of views and concerns.

25 I think the people pay a lot of
 18

 1 taxes in this Council and just to have this

 2 dropped in our laps like this I think is

 3 patently unfair. Thank you.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan.

 5 Martina Soden.

 6 MS. SODEN: Good evening, City

 7 Council. My name is Martina Soden. I'm head

 8 of Reference Services at the Scranton Public

 9 Library. I've come to you today as a

10 representative of the library to speak about

11 the parking that's been on the agenda tonight

12 and the next few weeks.

13 Our mission at the Scranton Public

14 Library is to enhance our community by

15 fostering and supporting individual aspirations

16 towards lifelong learning, entertainment, and

17 self-fulfillment for all.

18 This is accomplished through free

19 access wherever is needed to a broad collection

20 of resources and currently use formats,

21 courteous and knowledgeable staff and

22 activities designed to satisfy the

23 informational, educational, recreational, and

24 personal needs of everyone in our ever changing

25 diverse environment.
 19

 1 The Scranton Public Library opened

 2 its door on June 1st 1893. We just celebrated

 3 our 132nd anniversary. We were created as the

 4 first free library in the City of Scranton

 5 where anyone could come through our doors and

 6 have access to a variety of materials. That

 7 hasn't change.

 8 We continue to offer free computers,

 9 printers, Wi-Fi, circulation collections,

10 meeting spaces and programming. As we have

11 been a part of this City of Scranton for so

12 long, we also want the city to succeed and

13 continue to be a vibrant community.

14 But we also see the disadvantage of

15 the changes introduced. Over the years we have

16 adapted and accepted many conditions. But this

17 one is harder for us. Our patrons have been

18 hindered over the years to the cost of parking.

19 These new charges will have an

20 affect on accessibility of our resources and

21 access to all we offer. We have built our

22 programs around free parking by having programs

23 at 6 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays.

24 We had heard -- we heard from

25 patrons regarding the expense to park and they
 20

 1 come to us on hours that are free. To help our

 2 patrons in the last six months we have started

 3 working with Adams parking garage where we

 4 offer two free hours of parking.

 5 But this is actually coming out of

 6 our general fund. And we pay for the parking

 7 for the patrons. We hope that we won't need to

 8 add more hours, but we will always as we said,

 9 will continue to change.

10 Please reconsider how this will

11 affect patrons, families, and businesses in our

12 community with the changes of the parking

13 hours. Thank you.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les

15 Spindler.

16 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

17 Council, city resident, homeowner. You know,

18 I'm old enough to remember growing up in this

19 city Scranton was bustling downtown. There

20 were all small businesses like people that are

21 represented here. This legislation will kill

22 these businesses.

23 I remember coming downtown, Spruce

24 Street was packed with small businesses. There

25 was a store called The Flash, a men's store my
 21

 1 dad use to shop at, bring me all the time.

 2 If this goes through, if this

 3 legislation passes, you're going to kill all of

 4 these business. And I hope the Mayor is there

 5 when these people are locking their doors like

 6 shes's cutting ribbons, putting her face in the

 7 news all the time.

 8 You can't pass this legislation.

 9 You are going to kill all of these small

10 businesses. It's wonderful what they do. They

11 are great for the city. Even the gentleman

12 sitting here said how Scranton is growing.

13 Well, it's going to stop growing if these

14 things are implemented.

15 I have a lot to say tonight. So

16 that's all I'm going to say on that. Just hope

17 you reconsider not -- vote against this

18 legislation.

19 Next thing, last week I was here and

20 I said I would give the city until last

21 Thursday to fix my corner. Well, obviously

22 they didn't come. So I ended up taking care of

23 it myself. But I don't think I should have to.

24 I pay property taxes to have this stuff taken

25 care of.
 22

 1 If this city isn't going to do what

 2 they are supposed to do, I might as well stop

 3 paying my property taxes because this city

 4 isn't -- it's terrible right now. All you get

 5 is lies, lies, lies from the Mayor, the Council

 6 to the DPW Director promised me three years ago

 7 that our corner would be fixed.

 8 I had to take it upon myself to fix

 9 my corner. And with the downpour we had today,

10 I must say I'm not a professional. I think I

11 did a pretty darn good job because it kept

12 water off my sidewalks.

13 Next thing, I go to shop at Redner's

14 a lot. I see homeless people sitting there

15 begging for money. I would give it to them

16 whenever I can. And I can't afford to do it.

17 I'm on Social Security. I'm on a fixed income.

18 I can't just give money away.

19 But I won't be giving them any more.

20 Why don't they go get a job? I give them money

21 and I come out and I see them smoking

22 cigarettes. They are begging for money to go

23 buy cigarettes? That's ridiculous. If they

24 could buy cigarettes which are like, what, 5, 6

25 dollars a pack, they shouldn't be sitting there
 23

 1 begging for money from people who worked their

 2 whole lives to collect Social Security.

 3 It's ridiculous. They wouldn't get

 4 another cent from me. And if people think I'm

 5 insensitive, yeah, well, I am insensitive when

 6 people are buying cigarettes with money they're

 7 begging for.

 8 Next thing, pave cuts again. I'll

 9 keep talking about these pave cuts until they

10 are all fixed. And I said last thing, you

11 people are not doing your job. You should be

12 after these people who are supposed to be

13 inspecting these pave cuts.

14 They are just allowed to sit there.

15 Like I said, the one on my block it just keeps

16 getting worse and worse and worse. And leaving

17 this meeting two weeks ago walking my dog down

18 Dorothy Street like I always do, I came across

19 a road collapse.

20 I told Councilman Schuster about it.

21 He has pictures. Right by the Tripp Park

22 Community Center, a hole opened up about 2 to 3

23 feet deep and 2 feet by 4 feet. Nothing's been

24 done. The police put barricades around it.

25 It's been two weeks now.
 24

 1 Someone did put some fill in it a

 2 couple days after I saw it, but nothing's been

 3 done. The pavement around the hole keeps

 4 falling in. And it's just sitting there. I

 5 don't know what it takes for this city to get

 6 things done. And that's the water company.

 7 The water company made that pave cut

 8 about a year or two ago because there's a storm

 9 drain about 10 feet away from it and roads just

10 don't collapse. There has to be a reason why

11 the road collapsed. And nobody is doing

12 anything.

13 I go by there almost every day and

14 nothing's being done. Lastly, it was on the

15 news yesterday with the Philadelphia Phillies

16 who I can't stand, I think the Phillies fans

17 are the worst in the world. But they did

18 something wonderful Sunday.

19 They invited Detective Gilmartin and

20 his family to their game on Sunday and they

21 honored him. He went down on the field with

22 his family. They gave him a Phillies jersey

23 with his name on it. I thought that was really

24 wonderful and they said, you know, what he went

25 through and everything.
 25

 1 And I give Phillies credit for that.

 2 But that's all I give them credit for. Thank

 3 you for your time.

 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Virgil

 5 Argenta.

 6 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Virgil

 7 Argenta, Scranton taxpayer, City Council

 8 candidate. I stand in solidarity with the

 9 downtown Scranton Business owners against the

10 new parking authority's proposals. Where is

11 the Mayor tonight on this very important issue?

12 I would like to express my deep

13 concern regarding the management or should I

14 say the mismanagement of community development

15 properties, Scranton's Parking Authority, which

16 was transferred under an usually long lease to

17 a nonprofit vendor.

18 While public private partnerships

19 can offer value, they must remain accountable

20 to the community that they serve. This vendor

21 recent request for increased funding and hours,

22 a lease extension, city intervention and

23 maintenance requests are troubling.

24 Though the pandemic which is five

25 years old posed challenges, it should not
 26

 1 excuse unmet obligations or unjustify any

 2 further concessions. Even more concerning is

 3 the rise in parking rates and longer

 4 enforcement hours that is creating financial

 5 pressure on downtown Scranton's residents,

 6 business owners and visitors.

 7 This policy may reduce economic

 8 activity and deter participation in events like

 9 Saturday church services or evening City of

10 Scranton board meetings. Additionally, it

11 might be worth looking into the salary of

12 executives of the Community Development

13 Property Scranton, this nonprofit Parking

14 Authority.

15 Let's not forget local residents,

16 employees have repeatedly been let go further

17 distancing this operation from the community

18 it's meant to serve. Let's keep in mind the

19 last Parking Authority board meeting last week

20 was held in the lobby of City Hall due to the

21 doors being locked.

22 If this vendor cannot fulfill its

23 obligations without shifting costs onto the

24 public and reducing local employment, this

25 arrangement is no longer serving Scranton, its
 27

 1 residents, its businesses or its public trust.

 2 It's reneging on its contract.

 3 I would like to share an experience

 4 regarding Parking Authority. My wife owned a

 5 restaurant catering business for over 20 years

 6 in the City of Scranton, including five years

 7 in downtown.

 8 One of the most significant

 9 challenges both our customers and staff

10 encountered was with the parking enforcement

11 officers who often issued tickets without

12 consideration for those loading or unloading

13 supplies or preparing for catered events.

14 Customers were ticketed even while

15 quickly picking up their orders which

16 ultimately led many senior groups to stop

17 visiting due to concerns about parking

18 violations, which was one of the factors in us

19 closing our downtown location.

20 Tonight I respectfully call on City

21 Council to take immediate steps to terminate

22 the current lease and restore municipal control

23 of the Parking Authority back to the City of

24 Scranton. Our city's infrastructure belongs to

25 its people and it must be managed with
 28

 1 transparency, fairness and genuine local

 2 stewardship.

 3 Let's give the Parking Authority the

 4 same courtesy it gives our residents and

 5 visitors of Scranton, none.

 6 Mr. Smurl, over the weekend you

 7 completed the weeding and trimming of the grass

 8 at 307 Lookout. It looks great. Councilman

 9 McAndrew has previously requested permission

10 from the administration to have qualified

11 masons repair the wall at the Lookout but has

12 not received approval.

13 Can you clarify how you obtained

14 authorization to undertake work on city

15 property? While the area is now visibly

16 cleaned up, some concerns remain about work

17 typically performed by city union workers.

18 Would it be possible for you to

19 organize an annual cleanup event like those

20 held in other parks potentially with support

21 from union leaders and its members? I think

22 they would be okay with that.

23 What does the Council person who

24 oversees DPW think about another Council person

25 taking work away from DPW union members?
 29

 1 Additionally, if one of your volunteers were

 2 injured on city property, who would assume

 3 responsibility, the City of Scranton?

 4 Could you also provide any

 5 information about the status of that new two

 6 person blight crew that is supposed to be

 7 handling jobs like that? Mr. Smurl, DPW will

 8 be short two employees tomorrow morning. Is

 9 there any possibility you could assist with

10 garbage collection?

11 And a quick question, do you know if

12 we are still vetting the new police hires,

13 particularly the last police hire that was

14 hired? Are we vetting those guys properly?

15 MR. SMURL: I hope so.

16 MR. ARGENTA: Okay.

17 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

18 MR. ARGENTA: You'll see something

19 is coming down the pike.

20 MR. SMURL: Kevin Morgan.

21 MR. MORGAN: Hello, Kevin Morgan,

22 downtown resident. Just a few things, I was

23 here early listening to them here and just a

24 few things that kind of caught my ear. I don't

25 think that we should stand by the eye test for
 30

 1 this gentleman saying that's where he's getting

 2 his data from that he walked around downtown

 3 Scranton and looked and counted the cars.

 4 Secondly, he said that we will be

 5 adding transaction fees. I use Pango almost

 6 every day. There's a 25 cent transaction fee

 7 on the app. So I don't know if they're adding

 8 more. But the other thing he mentioned was

 9 trying to get long-term tenants down into the

10 parking garages.

11 My wife gets home from work at

12 midnight. I don't know who's going to walk her

13 the three blocks from the parking garage to our

14 apartment or if we're going to have more police

15 out at night to patrol that, but not a great

16 solution.

17 So just starting there, I think we

18 should check the rest of their surveys and

19 projections because it seems like they're all

20 just going off the eye test. For me, I go to

21 work at 8 a.m. and come back at 5 p.m. every

22 day.

23 Extending the hours 260 week days in

24 a year times 3 hours a day, 780 hours will come

25 to $755 -- $1,755 just on the weekday extended
 31

 1 hours for someone who works 8 to 5. Fifty-two

 2 Saturdays in a year times 11 hours a day, 572

 3 hours, $1,287.

 4 Transaction fees twice a day because

 5 when you go into the app in the morning and

 6 then when you get home from work, you're

 7 getting charged 25 cents each time.

 8 Eight hundred thirty-two

 9 transactions, $208 in a year just for me who

10 works 8 to 5 and would need to pay before I go

11 to work and after I get home from work, $3,250

12 a year. The current daily total $21.50 for

13 someone who works an eight-hour shift in

14 downtown. That comes out to $107.50 a year.

15 To put that into perspective,

16 someone making $41,000 a year working in

17 downtown Scranton is working a full eight-hour

18 shift just to pay for parking. That is 20

19 percent of their take-home pay after taxes just

20 to pay for parking.

21 And that is not to mention if they

22 have a job where they can't be on their phone

23 every two hours because there's a two-hour time

24 limit and they go out to two or maybe three

25 different fines in a day.
 32

 1 Of my 10 best friends who graduated

 2 from West Scranton in 2008, I am currently the

 3 only one who lives in Scranton. This is mostly

 4 due to convenience for my work. For decades we

 5 have lost some of our best talent, creators,

 6 entrepreneurs in community not only to larger

 7 cities like Philadelphia, but more so to our

 8 neighboring cities.

 9 There was always an unofficial

10 slogan from anyone who spent time in Scranton,

11 "There's nothing to do here." You've all heard

12 it, lying if you say otherwise. And even

13 though I personally do not believe it is true,

14 it is -- was the mindset for some time.

15 Recently the city, the Council,

16 everyone in this room has done a great job to

17 change that by leaps and bounds. My wife moved

18 here three years ago. That was her mindset.

19 And she tells me every day things are looking

20 great. Scranton is getting so much better.

21 The shops, the restaurants, the

22 breweries, the salons, the great events for all

23 ages, this would be a step in the opposite

24 direction telling those people while we

25 appreciate the fact that you want to utilize
 33

 1 our new downtown, it's going to cost you.

 2 This will be a trickle down effect

 3 when we see less customers visiting these

 4 establishments which in turn, their prices will

 5 rise to compensate. And eventually we'll be

 6 back to the boarded up windows and that old

 7 saying making it back into circulation. Thank

 8 you.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman.

10 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

11 You people must be in denial. You just don't

12 seem to grasp what's going on in this city

13 anymore. The last couple weeks I've walked

14 some of the same places I did four years ago

15 getting names.

16 The property owners are gone. And

17 there's renters. Renters don't care what the

18 property looks like. I've been telling you

19 that for three years about my neighborhood.

20 It's getting worse and worse.

21 Two weeks ago at 2402, some people

22 moved in, parked on the lawn. There is junk

23 everywhere. In two weeks they have created

24 poverty. That's what's happening all over.

25 And I don't know where these people went. They
 34

 1 are just not here.

 2 Undesirables are taking over. We're

 3 becoming a Hazleton. The way they work a

 4 pencil, how could anybody fall for this stuff

 5 they came with tonight. They have a contract.

 6 They -- you can't just null and void a contract

 7 and tell them to start over at taxpayer's

 8 expense, 2 million dollars of tax money

 9 senseless to a nonprofit.

10 Why are they nonprofit anyway?

11 That's the trouble with Scranton. You people

12 have allowed God knows how many useless,

13 worthless nonprofits. And this one of them.

14 You know, this is supposed to be a

15 plan for the city. How could this help me?

16 How could this help anybody out there? You

17 know what -- a plan for the city is like the

18 California plan on school and property taxes.

19 In case you don't know what that is,

20 in California when you buy a property, whatever

21 the taxes are at that minute they stay that way

22 as long as you own the property. When that

23 property is sold, like, code enforcement, there

24 is nobody better than knowing the neighborhood,

25 code enforcement can say what the new taxes up
 35

 1 or down should be.

 2 You know what we got? We got two

 3 guys from Ohio walking down sidewalks dictating

 4 what our property is worth. They didn't even

 5 know about my garage, my basement, my back.

 6 They didn't know nothing about my house because

 7 I talked to them. They were out there with

 8 transits and so forth.

 9 You people, if you consider this

10 crap one minute, you don't belong in those

11 seats in November, I'm telling you. You got to

12 start thinking about the people of this city

13 that put you there instead of trying to save a

14 failed business. Thank you.

15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Andrew

16 Merwine.

17 MR. MERWINE: How are you? I almost

18 wish I went first because I feel like I'm going

19 to repeat a lot of the stuff that you guys have

20 heard. My name is Andrew Merwine. And Im the

21 co-owner of Loyalty Barbershop, a downtown

22 Scranton business operating since 2014.

23 I'm here to share concerns about the

24 proposed changes to parking enforcement,

25 specifically expanding the paid hours 7 to 7
 36

 1 and eliminating Saturdays.

 2 We've worked hard to remain

 3 successful while still dealing with the lasting

 4 affects of the pandemic combined with rising

 5 rent, utilities, and supply costs making

 6 margins tighter than ever.

 7 Many other businesses downtown are

 8 in the same position trying to maintain

 9 momentum in a tough economic environment that

10 the changes in parking will only make tougher.

11 And I know that people get sick of

12 hearing about Covid, but it took so long to dig

13 out of the hole that it created that it was

14 only recently that I feel like most of us

15 stopped honestly feeling the affects even if it

16 was five years ago.

17 But Scranton's third party kiosks

18 system is often unreliable and confusing. Many

19 kiosks will be randomly out of order only

20 accepting one type of payment that day and

21 customers regularly tell us that they feel

22 anxious about getting a ticket despite

23 attempting to pay.

24 For instance, sometimes it will take

25 quarters. Someone will come down with quarters
 37

 1 then it only takes a card that day. It's

 2 random. Also, it absolutely has let me pay at

 3 times when it's not supposed to. So I don't

 4 know what they meant with that, but just food

 5 for thought.

 6 Sometimes customers give up on

 7 coming as often as they would altogether for

 8 fear of being ticketed or not understanding the

 9 kiosks. Extending the pay parking hours and

10 removing free Saturdays will only increase

11 confusion and deter visits to downtown

12 businesses.

13 Free parking on Saturdays was one of

14 the small concessions that helped encourage

15 people to visit downtown on weekends.

16 Saturdays are crucial for our business because

17 of walk-ins and families who feel comfortable

18 coming downtown without worrying about parking

19 fees or tickets.

20 Removing this will negatively impact

21 customer turnout and weekend revenue for many

22 businesses. The other concession being our

23 customers who came downtown before 8 or after

24 5, many of the elderly or big families that who

25 already pay a lot for haircuts because they
 38

 1 felt it would be easier than looking for a

 2 spot, dealing with kiosks, all of that so they

 3 would come before or after ticketing hours

 4 because it was easier and less financially hard

 5 on them.

 6 Extending the hours will alienate

 7 them as well. Longer parking hours may create

 8 short term revenue. But they risk driving away

 9 the very people that we need to continue

10 bringing downtown back to life. If fewer

11 people come downtown, every business suffers

12 and so does the city's tax base.

13 We would at the very least ask that

14 the kiosks are fixed and better maintained to

15 reduce confusion and improve reliability like

16 mentioned, offer discounts, validations or

17 passes for customers and downtown business

18 owners possibly.

19 And at least maintain free Saturday

20 parking until a full impact study and community

21 input process has been completed. Loyalty

22 Barbershop has been a proud part of Scranton's

23 downtown since 2014. And we ask that the

24 Council consider how these proposed parking

25 changes would create unnecessary barriers for
 39

 1 customers and harm businesses working hard to

 2 rebuild and to grow.

 3 We respectfully urge you to

 4 reconsider and explore solutions that support

 5 long term downtown success. Thank you.

 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. William

 7 Nasser. William? Nasser, yes.

 8 MR. NASSER: Good evening, Council.

 9 My name is William Nasser. I'm a co-owner of

10 the Backyard Ale House located on Linden Street

11 downtown.

12 We have been down there for 17

13 years. I'm also a resident of the City of

14 Scranton for going on 20 years. Before I dive

15 in, I just -- I want to thank Council members

16 for your service. I know that your job isn't

17 easy at times. And I know it's maybe ugly and

18 difficult and especially when you have a mob of

19 angry business owners descending upon you.

20 But I appreciate what you guys do

21 for the -- the efforts for the city. So I'm

22 voicing my opposition as it relates to the

23 proposed parking increases. I've been down --

24 if I'm mistaken, extended hours has been

25 attempted before and it didn't work.
 40

 1 And I believe it was rolled back

 2 because it just -- it was a -- it was a

 3 disaster. And it was only mitigated until the

 4 hours were adjusted back to the additional 5

 5 p.m. style.

 6 It does -- it will chase customers

 7 away. And the losses aren't just limited to

 8 customers. We have to -- our employees are

 9 going to have to get a commensurate raise. And

10 you're going to -- you're going to see it on

11 both ends because you're going to have less

12 customers and then you have to match -- you

13 can't expect your employees to take a haircut

14 too.

15 I mean, it's hard to get employees.

16 So those parking lots and people that need jobs

17 in Dickson City that could park there for free.

18 So it's easy for someone to say, oh, I'll just

19 go work up there now. And so we'd like to try

20 to retain our good people that have been

21 working for us.

22 As it relates to the overall scope

23 of parking downtown, I believe the city

24 commissioned a study a couple years ago called

25 the Connectivity Study. And I know that there
 41

 1 is some discussions and some capital

 2 improvements.

 3 I'm just wondering if any of that --

 4 if any of that incorporates what that study had

 5 to offer because that could be a pathway or

 6 solution to maybe resolving some of these

 7 financial issues that the Parking Authority has

 8 seen right now. So, you know, that's just

 9 something for you guys to consider.

10 That is above my pay grade. But I

11 just wanted to point that out that maybe that's

12 something that should be considered. So I just

13 in summation, just hope that you guys

14 reconsider and maybe punt these, you know,

15 these changes until we could really hash out

16 and maybe find a better more long-term solution

17 that's suitable for paying the city's

18 obligations and for the business community.

19 Thank you.

20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. John. John?

21 How about Jamie Hailstone?

22 MR. HAILSTONE: Good evening.

23 Tonight I'm here as general counsel for

24 Lackawanna College. My client asked me to

25 appear tonight to voice our opposition to the
 42

 1 increase in time and increase in parking fees.

 2 There's no question this will hurt our

 3 students.

 4 As you probably know, Lackawanna

 5 College is a college that's made up mostly --

 6 most of our students are non-traditional

 7 students. They work. They come back to

 8 school. They're younger. They're also working

 9 full time.

10 We have a lot of students that come

11 later. We don't have the capacity to give

12 every student a parking spot. So they are

13 parking on the streets and that could be a

14 burden. That could be a great burden. But

15 they're doing it because they want to better

16 themselves. They want to get a degree and they

17 want to move on.

18 This is going to hurt them. There's

19 no question and when we look at this, the

20 extending the times, the increase in the fees

21 and especially Saturday. They come on

22 Saturdays to use the library facility, to use

23 our facilities.

24 And it would just be an extra burden

25 on a population that really doesn't need to be
 43

 1 burdened like this. I'd ask you to really

 2 closely look at this bailout that's being

 3 created for the Parking Authority.

 4 It's not even clear that increasing

 5 the hours and increasing the fees is going to

 6 do anything. There's no information and I've

 7 read everything I was able to find on this.

 8 And there is really nothing that says this will

 9 be other than, well, maybe this will make the

10 bondholders happy.

11 I think this has to be reviewed very

12 carefully and this -- stay away from adding

13 burdens on people that are coming to town for

14 good reasons, coming to town for schools,

15 coming to down for the libraries, coming to

16 town to go to dinner, it's going to hurt

17 people.

18 And what I'm here for, our college,

19 it's going to hurt our students. And we have

20 to ask you very strongly to oppose this

21 legislation. I thank you for your time.

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

23 for the sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to

24 address?

25 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,
 44

 1 Lee Morgan. I was going to talk about the

 2 ECTV, but I think tonight since you're talking

 3 about this maybe that's all right too. I'd

 4 just like to say that I think that Chris

 5 Doherty's legacy still lives.

 6 He built a parking garage for

 7 absolutely no reason. Council debated it and

 8 figured out that the city couldn't afford to

 9 pay for it. And so we put the Parking

10 Authority basically on a collision course with

11 self-destruction.

12 And then you add into that multiple

13 Councils after that that refused to be

14 responsible. They played the political game.

15 I appreciate the business owners here. But if

16 you lived in Scranton when I was a child, the

17 business district was much larger and more

18 vibrant.

19 And even at that time it was in a

20 major decline. I really can't tell you why

21 anybody would come to the downtown Scranton

22 area and pay that kind of money they pay for

23 parking here. And as some of the people have

24 spoken, none of the equipment for parking

25 works.
 45

 1 You're walking a block to another

 2 kiosk to pay. And, you know, I think it's time

 3 to realize that the reason we have a nonprofit

 4 running the Parking Authority is because of the

 5 incompetence of the Parking Authority itself.

 6 And don't forget that we had a mayor

 7 that was prosecuted for public I think -- was

 8 it corruption? I mean, you could just see the

 9 way the city's gone. And then we find ourself

10 where we are now.

11 You know, the nonprofit running the

12 Parking Authority is so it didn't have to pay

13 taxes. That was the discussion when this whole

14 deal was run through. Don't forget I've come

15 here for 40 years. I've watched all of this

16 stuff take place.

17 There is really only one solution to

18 this problem. You have to dissolve that

19 agreement. And you have to sell the remnants

20 of the Parking Authority outright to collect

21 the money necessary to pay the bonds off. And

22 we have to stop playing silly little games with

23 kiosks in neighborhoods and around hospitals.

24 All right?

25 The remnants of some of them that
 46

 1 would still exist in the downtown could be

 2 where the rates could be seriously reduced,

 3 control the flow of parking in the city that

 4 makes it conducive for business owners to have,

 5 you know, control over how long people park in

 6 one spot so that there's a turnover so patrons

 7 can come and patronize city businesses.

 8 But the only real solution here is

 9 that that agreement has to be terminated and

10 dissolved. And we have to face the reality

11 that we've squandered almost everything in this

12 city. We look at our water bills and our sewer

13 bills. And then PA American Water, those

14 articles where they are pumping hundreds of

15 millions of dollars into the city systems here

16 because the elected people that we elected used

17 the Sewer Authority as an employment agency for

18 politically connected people.

19 And it's just hurt the whole city.

20 And, you know, my next stop is I'm going to be

21 70 soon. And my next stop is a cemetery. But

22 what about all the young people that are here

23 that are going to move here? Do you want to

24 create a vibrant Scranton and offer people a

25 future?
 47

 1 It's like I said here from the

 2 podium many times. I moved my children out of

 3 this city when they were young and sent them to

 4 Abington and it's paid off. They are all

 5 making hundreds of thousands of dollars and

 6 they are not here. And I told them they had to

 7 leave because I knew the residents didn't

 8 really care about the city.

 9 They wouldn't come to meetings.

10 They didn't want to change anything. And you

11 know what, the ball's in your court now. Do

12 you want to change something? Do you want to

13 give the children here a future? Dissolve the

14 agreement, sell the assets of the authority

15 off, pay the bonds off, reset all the meters in

16 the downtown, create a flow of traffic through

17 the city and give these people a chance to make

18 a living because most people know that

19 independent business owners don't operate on a

20 large profit and most of them don't get

21 wealthy.

22 That's what the statistics say. So,

23 you know, do something for your community for

24 once and change the direction of the city.

25 Thank you.
 48

 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

 2 MS. KOLOSKI: Hi. Good evening,

 3 Doris Koloski, Scranton. Okay, I have two

 4 things before I get into the parking because

 5 that's what I came for is, whoever cleaned up

 6 421 Colfax last time if it was through the

 7 city, please send them back again.

 8 The second one was as I was walking

 9 to the park this morning with the dog as I went

10 by Colfax and Linden Street, there's a round

11 hole with a pipe in it right in the middle of

12 the intersection there. And I went

13 catty-corner and I was lucky I didn't step in

14 it.

15 And I did see a hospital worker and

16 asked him if he had any clue what it was and he

17 said he thinks it's from a utility company and

18 that the cap is missing. So I don't know who

19 you would tell to go up there and check it, but

20 somebody is going to get hurt. Okay, that's

21 the end of that.

22 All right. Well, I had seen in the

23 paper about the parking. And I thought it said

24 extended to 7 p.m. and Saturdays. And I wasn't

25 sure if it said anything about Sunday. And I
 49

 1 planned on coming this week to talk about it.

 2 And now I found out there was caucus and a

 3 whole thing that went on.

 4 So I wanted to give you a thing as

 5 not as a business owner downtown but as a

 6 customer downtown. I go to physical therapy

 7 downtown. And you're going to extend it to

 8 seven, that means you can't go at 5:00 to save

 9 a little bit of money or 4:00.

10 You only have to pay for part of the

11 parking. When we go to the Broadway Theater

12 League, which I just redid my tickets, we

13 usually go to Abe's Restaurant. It's usually a

14 Saturday or a Sunday. So we don't pay for

15 parking. We don't worry about having to have

16 to spend half an hour in the restaurant and

17 then a couple hours at the Heritage Center and

18 having to worry about running out at the

19 parking meter.

20 So as a customer, we go Saturday

21 mornings, one of my groups has a meeting once a

22 month at Northern Lights Restaurant there on

23 Biden Street or Spruce Street, whatever you

24 want to call it now. And, I mean, I don't know

25 if they will continue to do that if they are
 50

 1 going to have to pay for parking.

 2 We might just move to someplace that

 3 has a parking lot. I don't know. I'm not in

 4 charge of that. But I like Northern Lights.

 5 And I like to go there. And I like to go to

 6 the Downtown Deli. We were just there for

 7 Saturday for something to eat.

 8 And now you're telling me you're

 9 going to charge more for parking. It's the

10 Parking Authority. I didn't even know they

11 were nonprofit. But if they are a nonprofit,

12 then that's too bad. They are not supposed to

13 be making a profit. So I don't know why they

14 would need more money.

15 When you go to a doctor's office

16 it's the same thing. When I go to the Medical

17 Arts building for my dermatologist, I have to

18 pay for parking. The last time I was in town I

19 had to go through to three different kiosks.

20 One kiosk I couldn't read to press the numbers

21 in because it was so filthy dirty. I couldn't

22 get my license plate number in.

23 Then I went to another one around

24 the courthouse square that it wouldn't take my

25 credit card. Then I went back in the car to
 51

 1 get quarters and it wouldn't take the quarters.

 2 So then I had to cross the street, walk up the

 3 block, go to the next kiosk and that one wasn't

 4 working.

 5 Then when I came back to just leave

 6 town in my car I saw another woman struggling

 7 with it with the same kiosk that I was at the

 8 first time. And I said I couldn't get it to

 9 work either. It went as far as after you put

10 your license plate number in it wouldn't let

11 you pick your time and your hours.

12 Then the following week when I was

13 down there at the same kiosk, it was working.

14 Sometimes it will take one credit card but it

15 won't take the other credit card. I mean, and

16 then you don't know what to do. Some of them

17 are spaced pretty far apart. So that is a

18 problem.

19 You know, so I just gave up and left

20 and so did other people. So somebody told me

21 to download the Pango app which I just

22 downloaded and I just didn't finish setting it

23 up. I just downloaded it yesterday. And now I

24 hear this guy saying that there's going to be a

25 service charge every time you use the Pango
 52

 1 app.

 2 So I don't know. But all I want to

 3 say about the parking situation is as a

 4 customer, it's a lot easier to go up to Clarks

 5 Summit and pull into a parking lot than it is

 6 now to come downtown Scranton. And that's just

 7 not right. They should not be extending these

 8 hours. It's bad enough when you have to park

 9 during the week. Thank you.

10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris.

11 Anyone else?

12 MR. MARQUIS: Yeah, so Ant Marquis,

13 activist, musician. I really just came here to

14 spread light on my nonprofit. It's called Heal

15 the Homeless. So I know I spoke about this a

16 few months ago. I was talking about, you know,

17 touring and doing a whole big music tour to

18 raise funds in order to give back to the people

19 in Lackawanna County who are in need.

20 So I never forgot about that. Now

21 that I'm back and, you know, I took a little

22 bit of time off so I could get focused and

23 things of that nature. I feel like it's time

24 to get back on the purpose. So with that being

25 said, I'm going to be going to the V Spot
 53

 1 tonight and I'm going to be talking to the host

 2 and hopefully I could get a green light to

 3 start raising funds there.

 4 And then we could get this thing

 5 going. I'm so nervous, guys, so I'm just going

 6 to leave it at that. Like I said, it's Ant

 7 Marquis, musician slash activist. Thank you.

 8 I'll catch you guys later.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

10 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council,

11 Tom Coyne, Minooka, and viewers. I put forth

12 six questions for the City Council caucus. The

13 last one was the parking group would be willing

14 to have the issue tabled until the July 29th

15 session before break. Between 6-D, 6-E, 7-C,

16 7-D, 7-E it's 468 pages to review.

17 They had enough time for legal and

18 PowerPoints and all but did not think that a

19 caucus was a good idea before submitting --

20 prior to submitting this. Most of the time

21 large financial issues and some even zoning or

22 liquor license, we have a month where we hold

23 public comment.

24 But to hear some response for the

25 submitter the week of some votes and the week
 54

 1 before 6-D and 6-E, 381 pages in those two

 2 alone is not enough time. We are racing to

 3 approve a 45 year in duration contract in 16

 4 days.

 5 The changes in the parking times and

 6 Monday through Friday at 7 will only make it

 7 more difficult for Scranton caucus for it not

 8 be a cloistered event. We also get why they

 9 want Saturday parking to force Center City

10 business and renters into the parking garages.

11 As it now stands, eight to five they

12 leave for work when it's free. They come home

13 when it's free. And the idea is by making

14 it -- by changing the hours is to force them to

15 pay for monthly payments in the garages rather

16 than getting free parking in the evening on the

17 streets.

18 WNEP reported, soon you'll pay more

19 for parking downtown Scranton, including on

20 weekends. Even they expect that it was going

21 to be a done deal and rubber stamped. Moving

22 on, some of us saw pictures of the board

23 meeting in the hallway downstairs as they were

24 locked out of City Hall.

25 Speaking of getting it right, I
 55

 1 believe that, Mr. Smurl, you were one of the

 2 representatives on this board that was

 3 appointed by -- appointed by the Council? I'm

 4 not sure why if the board -- if your badge was

 5 broken and you could not get in or you just

 6 weren't there as a representative.

 7 Why do we assign positions of

 8 oversight on some boards to the administration

 9 and Council if they never even show up to those

10 meetings. As usual, no one would have known

11 unless they were not locked out of the city's

12 building.

13 More from the news, McDade Splash

14 Pad, relatively new construction and we can't

15 even keep it open for a single season without

16 something breaking. At least we're not

17 complaining at this point of the lack of

18 lifeguards in the city.

19 More from -- who is deciding who is

20 the best contractor for the city because we've

21 seen a lot of shotty work come down recently

22 from the best. Over to potholes. I want to

23 thank DPW tossing some cold patch into the hole

24 on Phinney Street and filling it.

25 But we need to give them the proper
 56

 1 tools. It was not sealed. It was not pressed

 2 fully. It's on a slope. Water is just going

 3 to erode it again and it will wash out within a

 4 year or two.

 5 Does the city even own a drum roller

 6 or mini roller to press down pavement into the

 7 roads? Mr. McAndrew asked what responsibility

 8 to car repairs so in the interest of clarity

 9 and public I will note the question was on

10 responsibility to Scranton and claims.

11 Yes, they're responsible. You could

12 prove you gave them notice. In Pennsylvania

13 statute hold that government agencies like

14 townships and cities are liable for road

15 conditions which the agencies have actual

16 knowledge.

17 Actual knowledge can be provided by

18 the minutes of public meetings or by statements

19 of the township -- city or township officials.

20 So for your potholes, don't call 311. Use the

21 pothole app, e-mail them, and on the portal it

22 doesn't e-mail you back.

23 So take a screenshot of you actually

24 reporting to the city properly and having a

25 record if someone else winds up having their
 57

 1 front end damaged, at least then there's

 2 evidence so that they could get restitution for

 3 the negligence of the city.

 4 And do we need another trash truck

 5 when our city streets right now look like

 6 trash? I think we need to shift to that rather

 7 than to the trash trucks. Thank you. And I

 8 hope you table this whole thing.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

10 MR. COYNE: I still have time.

11 Thank you very much for interrupting.

12 MR. SMURL: I'll give you a couple

13 more seconds. Go ahead.

14 MR. COYNE: You certainly did to

15 Scranton Tomorrow. Now, again -- you know

16 what, you've thrown me off. That's good

17 enough. Have a good night.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

19 MR. JEFFERSON: My name is Charles

20 Jefferson. I've been in Scranton for 20 years.

21 I developed the Connell building, 200 Adams,

22 426 Mulberry, the Samter building, took Montage

23 out of bankruptcy and turned it into what it is

24 today.

25 I generally don't attend these
 58

 1 forums. I generally don't put myself out

 2 there. I'm thrilled to be surrounded by the

 3 people that have shown up tonight. They are

 4 business owners. They're residents. They're

 5 citizens. They're your voters.

 6 They came here to object to

 7 something that we all believe is egregious,

 8 overburdening and just plain wrong. I have

 9 been here for the last two hours. I watched a

10 lot of high priced talent sitting here spewing

11 what they spew.

12 I'm not a high priced talent. I'm

13 not a financial consultant. I'm just a guy

14 who's invested here for 20 years. I listened

15 to Dave Trevisani who I've known for 25 years

16 predating my time here in Scranton talk about

17 Scranton as a destination.

18 But in the same token he talked

19 about it's only going to get worse for

20 Scranton. You know what, I'll spare the

21 expletives. How much worse can it get than

22 having more business downtown, than having more

23 people downtown, than have more customers

24 downtown? I don't think that's getting worse.

25 I think that's getting better.
 59

 1 I submitted a letter to you folks

 2 earlier today. I don't know if you got it. If

 3 you didn't, I have copies here. And I'd like

 4 to submit it for the record. But just some of

 5 the questions that I have that I think have not

 6 really been explored. You know, I've watched

 7 that Parking Authority for the last nine years

 8 that they have been involved.

 9 And I asked myself, what's their

10 marketing plan? What's their business plan?

11 I've never -- I have residents downtown. I've

12 never seen an outreach from the Parking

13 Authority to any of those residents, never.

14 I've never seen a validation program to any

15 business down here to encourage people to park

16 in those garages.

17 But you know what I have seen? Over

18 the last nine years I've seen time after time

19 after time. I've seen budgets promised and

20 budgets broken. I've seen people come and say,

21 oh, my God, we need a couple more dollars only

22 to say we need a couple more dollars.

23 I heard the Covid excuse. No one

24 knows more about the Covid issue than I do. As

25 the owner and operator of Montage Mountain, I
 60

 1 was closed, closed making zero money.

 2 Meanwhile the parking garages were open. They

 3 were open.

 4 You had residents here. You had

 5 people here. You had everything here. What

 6 was their excuse for not getting people in?

 7 I'll tell you what their excuse was.

 8 Their excuse was we're going to

 9 charge you $92. We're going to charge you

10 $120. Meanwhile I've watched other lots --

11 surface lots come up with $50. And they are

12 filled. You know what, the problem here today

13 is not how much can we charge. The problem

14 here today is a simple business problem, how do

15 we operate those garages efficiently. That's

16 the problem.

17 We have people who have never ever,

18 ever, up until nine years ago -- and I'm going

19 to tell you you could check it out for a fact.

20 Their only knowledge of a parking garage is

21 that they parked in one. You know what, I'm

22 not here to impugn any of them. I don't want

23 to do that.

24 But what I do want to do is I just

25 want to ask you to take a look at my questions,
 61

 1 take a look at my 40 years' worth of experience

 2 and ask yourself do we have the answer to these

 3 questions to make the decision to burden the

 4 businesses, to burden the residents, to burden

 5 the citizens with additional dollars just to

 6 pay for somebody else's mistake? I think the

 7 answer is no. But it's not mine to decide.

 8 It's yours. Thank you.

 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Charlie.

10 I'll make sure they get a copy of your

11 questions.

12 MR. JEFFERSON: Thank you.

13 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening,

14 Council, Norma Jeffries. And I have to

15 thank -- was that Mr. Jefferson I guess that

16 spoke earlier because he said most of the

17 things that I was going to say.

18 I was looking for the backup data to

19 all of the slides that they had presented

20 earlier in caucus. I was looking for a balance

21 sheet to see their expenses today versus what

22 they are going to look like tomorrow. Are they

23 looking to cut any of their expenditures or is

24 it just us, the citizens of Scranton, who are

25 going to foot the additional bills.
 62

 1 And as a resident of Scranton, a

 2 senior citizen of Scranton, I do come downtown

 3 to use the facilities in town. I come to City

 4 Hall here. And I go to over the county

 5 building. So, of course, I never find a

 6 parking space. So I have to pay. Until maybe

 7 a couple years ago I would get a ticket. Well,

 8 a ticket if you are overparked is $35.

 9 So I said to myself, well, it's

10 better for me to go ahead and get the Pango.

11 And that way, at least I could stay in town or

12 be wherever I was without the fear of getting a

13 ticket. But when they talk tonight about the

14 fee, there is a fee for Pango. It's 25 cents,

15 a fee.

16 But when I looked at that I thought,

17 well, 25 cents versus a $35 ticket, it's better

18 to go ahead and use the credit card and go

19 ahead and go ahead and get -- pay for whatever

20 time I'm spending in town. So when I saw that

21 they were going to increase, I said, okay,

22 that's going to be another hit on my fixed

23 income.

24 And then I'm usually a regular

25 attendee at Council. So if you're going to
 63

 1 extend the hours to 7:00, that means another

 2 two hours because I usually get here a little

 3 early. So that means another two hours of

 4 money that I'm going to have to pay in order to

 5 attend City Council.

 6 And the reason I attend City

 7 Council, and the reason I attend City Council,

 8 I want to be informed. I want to be informed

 9 from my representatives of the city and not

10 read about it in the paper. I want to hear it

11 firsthand.

12 So that's why I come to City

13 Council. So, you know, raising the fee and,

14 you know, it's just going to be a burden. And

15 I just -- I'm appealing that you do not go

16 along with the increase and that you take us

17 senior citizens into consideration. Thank you.

18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma.

19 Anyone else?

20 MS. SCHUMACHER: I'll be short. My

21 name is Marie Schumacher. I am one of two

22 people who come down to a place in the city

23 and -- six days a week. And they are two

24 people and sometimes three that will not be

25 down here if you do what you are being asked to
 64

 1 do. Thank you.

 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

 3 MS. SAUNDERS: Hi, good evening.

 4 Thank you for allowing the time to have us all

 5 voice our concerns. My name is Jen Saunders.

 6 I am the owner of Northern Light Expresso Bar

 7 and Cafe as well as the Little Wild Refillery

 8 located on Biden Street. I also, after my

 9 purchasing my first business became a downtown

10 resident because the love I have for this city.

11 Growing up in this area, the city

12 has changed so much. It is becoming extremely

13 vibrant, liveable. I walk the city streets

14 downtown at anytime night or day. I am very

15 safe. I feel very safe. I have met some of

16 the most wonderful people, whether it be

17 artists, other community, other business owners

18 that have become lifelong friends.

19 You heard earlier from a consumer, a

20 customer that said she may not come downtown to

21 purchase something at my business. That's one

22 customer. My businesses are very expensive to

23 run. If you'd like a balance sheet or a profit

24 or loss, I'm always happy to share it because

25 as someone else mentioned earlier, I don't own
 65

 1 a business to become rich.

 2 I love people. I love my community.

 3 And I love what I do. This is going to be

 4 detrimental to my business, my customers, my

 5 staff. I'll absorb what I can. We can't

 6 always absorb it. If I have upgrades that need

 7 to be done as the gentleman mentioned in his

 8 presentation, I'm responsible for that. I'm

 9 not putting that on my customers.

10 Although I did not come prepared to

11 speak after listening to his presentation,

12 there's some discrepancies. This needs to be

13 tabled. There are solutions upon solutions

14 upon solutions. Data, I'm not sure where they

15 are pulling it from.

16 But I will just give a very brief

17 experience. My business is in the Scranton

18 Life Building. Parking Authority, I could go

19 right around the corner. Seven years I've

20 owned the cafe, I have gone over numerous

21 times, can you tell me on a Monday afternoon

22 between the hours of 12 and 6 how much money do

23 you collect from my block? I'd like to pay it

24 and offer free parking.

25 They look at me like I have three
 66

 1 heads and tell me the data doesn't exist.

 2 Baloney. Repeatedly, I have done this to try

 3 to help my customers. And now to hear the

 4 possibility of extensions where they have to

 5 pay, especially on Saturdays, these businesses

 6 we drive customers down here, whether it be any

 7 time of the week; but, yes, on weekends.

 8 That's when families can come down.

 9 That's when some people are not working that

10 can't get there during the week. We need to

11 maintain the businesses that are there. And

12 this is going to be an extreme hardship. Thank

13 you for allowing me to speak.

14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

15 MR. BUSSART: Hi. My name is Eric

16 Bussart. I'm a local mural artist -- this one?

17 This one?

18 MR. SMURL: Yes.

19 MR. BUSSART: Hi. My name is Eric

20 Bussart. I'm a local artist -- mural artist.

21 One of the big things I love about murals is

22 that they encourage foot traffic and people to

23 get out and walk around downtown and that adds

24 to more, like, business for the local

25 businesses.
 67

 1 I think expanding these hours and

 2 adding Saturday, I think it goes against that

 3 goal. So I think you should really reconsider

 4 doing that. I think especially the Saturday

 5 one is really going to deter people from

 6 leisurely walking around and maybe finding a

 7 new business or a new place that they wouldn't

 8 have otherwise found to go see.

 9 I think it hurts the walkability of

10 the city. And lastly just sort of a left field

11 thing, but a little bit of a safety concern. A

12 lot of people go out to the bars on Friday,

13 and, you know, it's good peace of mind to know

14 you won't get a $25 ticket if you leave your

15 car.

16 You know, a lot people would feel

17 like I have to drive home. It might lead to an

18 uptick in DUIs and certain safety things.

19 Everything else pretty much everyone said way

20 more eloquently than I could. So I'll leave

21 you guys to it. Thank you.

22 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

23 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little, 20

24 year resident of Scranton. I have been

25 thinking about the government. There was a
 68

 1 short white Jewish artist who famously said

 2 don't watch -- don't follow leaders, watch the

 3 parking meters. And I think that is very

 4 relevant for Scranton these days.

 5 We're all talking about cars and

 6 roads and places to put your car. And every

 7 week I come here I get sidetracked because

 8 everybody is talking about parking today.

 9 Anyway, I've been looking at the -- I remember

10 when I was seven years old. I first heard

11 about Eddie who died was more famous than

12 Elvis.

13 Before Elvis he had this song that

14 had the lyrics, "Went to my Congressman. He

15 said, quote, like to help you, son, but you're

16 too young to vote." And like I went to my

17 Congressman. I have always been going to my

18 Congressman and wherever they are. I went to

19 Congressman Marty Flynn who I found out, oh,

20 he's not a Congressman anymore anyway, you

21 know, to talk about, you know, the food stamps

22 disappeared January 10th, last February.

23 And I'm sure it's just somebody in

24 Harrisburg who pushed a button right after the

25 election and said, all right, you know,
 69

 1 Lackawanna County can deal with it. You know,

 2 no big deal and there's all of these excuses

 3 just like there is with the parking meters and

 4 with the homeless.

 5 The homeless, my God, I picked up a

 6 paper today, you know, city man robbed Turkey

 7 Hill, and gives his address as like 9 Olive

 8 Street which I know is the homeless shelter.

 9 And then right next to it is man charged with

10 illegal possession of firearm and assault, you

11 know, and it starts a homeless man with

12 officers identified as a felon.

13 You know, this whole criminalization

14 of the homeless, it's been going on a long

15 time. I went and looked it up at the library.

16 And it just so happened that the date of my HUD

17 lease, my Scranton Housing Authority HUD lease

18 which was like February 6th, 1996, that was the

19 day and maybe a year or two before all the HUD

20 funds came.

21 That's the problem in this community

22 because people have gotten used to all of this

23 federal money coming in from Health and Human

24 Services, Department of Education and HUD. And

25 we set up a criminalization network, people
 70

 1 that will run Scranton Housing Authority, they

 2 criminalize me, you know, they charged me for

 3 an air conditioner that I didn't have and all

 4 kinds of things.

 5 And they were harassing me. No

 6 privacy and she put me in front of a judge that

 7 they were like this with and I get evicted.

 8 And I appeal it and all of it is money. It

 9 goes on forever, you know, charges for this,

10 charges for that, charges just to be in the

11 Court.

12 And what really got me in my

13 research today, it is that the amount of

14 housing units in Scranton Housing Authority is

15 basically the same now as it was in 1996 or

16 even 1990 going back. And the weird thing is,

17 you know, like last week the subject was, you

18 know, the mission shelter and, you know, there

19 is only 20 beds for the homeless in Scranton.

20 There's so much air is wasted on the

21 homeless are littering, the homeless are

22 trespassing, the homeless are doing this and

23 that. But, you know, Marty Flynn's office --

24 guy, what do you expect, an investigation?

25 Yeah, there should be an investigation on a lot
 71

 1 of things.

 2 You know, when Scranton Housing

 3 Authority buys -- we're talking about local

 4 businesses. They buy their cleaning products

 5 from New York State and I'm walking around. I

 6 see all of these cleaning product businesses

 7 here. The place has to come together where the

 8 people in the community are supporting other

 9 people in the community. And Scranton Housing

10 Authority has to be taken by back by the City

11 of Scranton.

12 MR. SMURL: Thank you.

13 GLORIA: Hi, my name is Gloria. I

14 own Frank's News downtown. I took over in

15 June, 2006 -- June, 2019. I took over in June,

16 five months and Covid hit. So after my -- my

17 husband is a contractor. I used to be a Rite

18 Aid shift supervisor. So I work in retail.

19 So Jerry Frank, everybody knows him

20 in town. He wanted to sell the business. So

21 my husband asked me do you want to do your own

22 business, I'll get the business for you. So I

23 got the business in 2000 -- June, 2019, five

24 months Covid hit after we put in all our money.

25 I love the City of Scranton. During
 72

 1 Covid I actually took a picture of the city and

 2 you could actually hear the flag go by. It was

 3 like a ghost town. So I see businesses suffer

 4 in the city during Covid.

 5 And I just see and now all the new

 6 buildings, apartments and stuff, new business,

 7 everything coming to life. And it's so

 8 beautiful to see everything coming to life from

 9 all -- what the city have actually gone

10 through. It's nice to see all these buildings,

11 restaurants, nail salon. It's like we're

12 getting back to life.

13 And Thursday night, Friday night,

14 Saturdays are the busiest day in the city for

15 businesses. People come to the city because

16 during -- more people come to town because

17 during this time they don't have to worry about

18 parking.

19 So if they extend the hours, these

20 people are going to get business to Dickson

21 City or Clarks Summit where they don't have to

22 deal with parking. I'm never here. But this

23 really got me. And especially for the old

24 people, because I was here since 2019, most of

25 my customers are old folks.
 73

 1 And once they put in that parking

 2 machine meter, I seen some of them not come to

 3 town anymore because they are so confused. So

 4 many times I went out to help people with the

 5 meter because I feel bad for them.

 6 And some of these old people decide

 7 to come to town only on Saturdays and Sundays

 8 because then they don't have to deal with the

 9 meters. So now I feel like it's getting taken

10 away from them. So the only day that they come

11 to town, this meter is going to take away from

12 the old people. You guys have the power to

13 stop this.

14 So I'm hear to ask you, please have

15 favor for the old folks and have favor for the

16 businesses that customers -- some of our

17 customers only come on Saturdays because they

18 don't have to deal with the parking.

19 Please look into it and see what you

20 could do. If this is going to continue maybe

21 you could at least maybe you get some kind of

22 voucher or something for the customers and also

23 for the old folks when they come eating during

24 the weekends, you know, so they don't have to

25 worry about parking.
 74

 1 Please, you guys look into it. This

 2 really bothers plea. It's not good for

 3 businesses. Everybody is here. Scranton is

 4 getting -- it's getting more vibrant,

 5 everything, more cars, Saturdays nights, Friday

 6 night, Thursday. It's like no parking.

 7 Everybody is in town. Once the time

 8 gets extended, all of that is going to dwindle

 9 away. People are going to avoid the city and

10 go to Dickson City. They don't have to deal

11 with that. It's getting back because at night

12 because they don't have to deal with this

13 parking.

14 Once the parking comes, it's done.

15 It's going to go down again. And it's going to

16 affect businesses. I'm here talking because I

17 really love this city. And from what we

18 experience in Covid, I see the light again.

19 And I'm so scared it's going to get taken away.

20 That's why I'm here today as

21 somebody that loves the city and somebody that

22 owns a business in Scranton. Please, guys, do

23 something about it for us. Thank you.

24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else?

25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.
 75

 1 MOTIONS.

 2 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you

 3 have any motions or comments?

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: I do have a few

 5 motions and comments. Last week I spoke on

 6 some of my concerns about this -- about the

 7 parking deal. And what I heard tonight was

 8 what my concerns were. I'm going to save what

 9 I'm going say about the parking for on the

10 question.

11 I'm going to move in to Fifth Order

12 and then when we get into Sixth Order I'll talk

13 about my feelings on parking.

14 So just switching gears, one of the

15 biggest complaints I'm getting at this point in

16 time as the winter ended and spring came and

17 now we're into summer is the conditions of our

18 roads. I think we need a couple updates on

19 some things.

20 And, Mr. Voldenberg, if we could

21 send to the administration can we get an update

22 on the pothole portal, how many have been

23 reported, by whom, whether they're citizens,

24 employees, etc., what percent have been filled,

25 how many are pending, what's the turnaround
 76

 1 time because this is -- this is the concern

 2 that's coming in the most at this point for me.

 3 And when speaking to DPW, they're saying the

 4 same.

 5 Also, again, conditions on the

 6 roads, now we're six months into our new pave

 7 cut process if we can just get an update where

 8 are we at with the pave cut procedures, where

 9 we're at with inspections. I know we've gotten

10 several very good examples of pave cuts that

11 need inspections, how that process occurs with

12 those inspectors and where we are with our

13 procedures and how we're doing with citations

14 for those utilities that are not keeping the

15 pave cuts drivable.

16 Another update, where we're at with

17 DPW negotiations, we haven't heard anything in

18 several weeks, so if we could get an update on

19 that. And then another one, where are we with

20 Rubicon if we could get an update on that since

21 the new deal has gone through.

22 Are we using less trucks, are we

23 using more trucks, are official decisions being

24 made, are we utilizing optimized routes at this

25 point in time? And when it comes to
 77

 1 maintenance of vehicles, are we avoiding

 2 maintenance issues with vehicles because

 3 they're being picked up by that system?

 4 As I said -- well, you know, one

 5 more thing. For Les Spindler, I did ask last

 6 week about the Tripp Park stormwater project.

 7 Thank you, Mr. Voldenberg, for sending that

 8 through as it relates to those areas of Bulwer

 9 and Hawthorne Street that are experiencing very

10 parallel issues where the water is not staying

11 on roads beyond the curb and it's coming

12 straight down the sidewalks.

13 The answer I got back was that

14 preconstruction meetings for the project is

15 going to occur on July 8th. I imagine that's a

16 meeting only with the city. It's not a public

17 meeting. So if we can just clarify whether

18 that's -- do we know if that's a public -- it's

19 not a public meeting.

20 MR. VOLDENBERG: It's not public,

21 but I'll clarify for you:

22 MR. SCHUSTER: So the city

23 administration is going to have a

24 preconstruction meeting for the project on July

25 8th. And then after July 8th they will be
 78

 1 establishing what will be occurring afterwards

 2 on that -- on the stormwater projects there in

 3 Tripp Park and in North Scranton.

 4 And that is all for tonight. I'll

 5 save my comments on the parking for Sixth

 6 Order.

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

 8 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or

 9 comments?

10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First

11 off, and I believe it was brought up tonight

12 about on 307, the Lookout that's there. I have

13 been asking for updates and asked a followup

14 question last week that I received a response

15 to.

16 So I was looking for more of a plan

17 and a timeline as to some of the repairs that

18 need to be made over there. I do want to thank

19 Councilman Smurl for helping to clean up the

20 area. I did see the pictures and it was a big

21 difference. I do want to find out how do we

22 get the city to continue to maintain that so it

23 doesn't end up looking that way again.

24 And but what I was told is that the

25 Lookout wall is with the City Engineers. It's
 79

 1 a historic wall above a steep hill. And

 2 repairs must be done by professionals at this

 3 time. So the engineers will have to prioritize

 4 projects related to stormwater and roadway

 5 repair and will address the Lookout when able.

 6 So that is all the update that I have for that,

 7 but we will stay on it.

 8 We also have been receiving

 9 followups -- followup complaints regarding the

10 feral cat concerns on Golden Avenue. And

11 apparently the neighbors were told that no cats

12 are going to be trapped or removed due to

13 limited resources.

14 So I would like to ask from Animal

15 Control what those limited resources are, how

16 we could -- how we could rectify this if there

17 is anything that we could do on our part to

18 ensure that the cats are able to be taken care

19 of in that neighborhood and others that are --

20 that are having this condition.

21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

22 it.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you, Mr.

24 Voldenberg. And then I also don't believe I

25 received a response yet from the DPW. But last
 80

 1 week I discussed some of the road conditions as

 2 a result of the storm about two weeks ago that

 3 really tore up the areas of Pine Street and

 4 East Gibson Street around the hospitals that

 5 are down there.

 6 And there's still the same

 7 barricades that are there and nothing's been

 8 done to them yet. And I even took pictures

 9 myself to send in because -- and other

10 residents have sent in pictures too. It's

11 really in terrible shape on a number of those

12 blocks.

13 So if we could press them for

14 another answer on what we'll be doing to repair

15 that and when.

16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. We're

17 waiting on a date for repair on Pine Street and

18 East Gibson.

19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you.

20 And lastly, I know that we'll discuss this more

21 in the legislation that's on the agenda

22 tonight. But I do want to say I'm appreciative

23 of all those who showed up tonight to discuss

24 their concerns, whether it's business owners or

25 residents of downtown regarding the potential
 81

 1 for parking changes.

 2 And, you know, appreciate all

 3 the -- of the points that were made. I believe

 4 the last speaker really discussed about

 5 vibrancy of downtown. I love that too. I

 6 think there's nothing better than being down

 7 here on like a First Friday during the

 8 summertime.

 9 And there's always so much to do

10 coinciding with that. And I love the feel of

11 our downtown and I'm down here often as well

12 supporting businesses. So I, you know,

13 certainly don't want to see businesses suffer.

14 And listening to all the different suggestions

15 tonight, I have some suggestions I would like

16 to make as well. But we'll discuss further as

17 the legislation comes up. That's all that I

18 have. Thank you.

19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr.

20 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments?

21 MR. MCANDREW: I have a couple

22 comments. So I will also speak regarding the

23 parking legislation as we read it or on the

24 question. But I want the public to know that

25 it's not just one resolution or one ordinance
 82

 1 approving everything we talked about.

 2 No, this is going to be broken down.

 3 So there's going to be an ordinance to approve

 4 the amended and reinstated concession lease

 5 agreements. That's all that was pretty much

 6 talked about tonight. All right, that itself

 7 is going to be extending time, extending the

 8 weekends, increase costs, all right.

 9 That's to approve and amend the

10 concession agreement to 2070, right. So then

11 there's also going to be a motion -- or a

12 resolution for transfer of the Parking

13 Authority assets and liability to the city.

14 What that means -- and it's embedded

15 in all the legislation we got is, at the end of

16 the term of the agreement we get the assets

17 back, meaning the four garages, all right. So

18 we have to vote on that. We don't have to vote

19 on all of these or be happy about all of these.

20 I just want to make it clear. And

21 then also, another resolution pretty much the

22 same thing transferring the parking garage

23 titles to the city. All of this has to be in

24 resolution form or just the ordinance, okay?

25 And then a resolution of all the bonds to be
 83

 1 issued tax exempt and then another ordinance to

 2 modify the rate schedule.

 3 All right, so I just want the public

 4 to know we're not voting on one thing tonight.

 5 It's the whole ball of wax. I think that's

 6 what people are concerned about, half the

 7 people that came and talked. So with that

 8 said, I'll talk on each item as the motion is

 9 made.

10 So I need to report out a couple

11 things that I asked. And I finally got some

12 answers. So I asked about the city

13 administration please update Council regarding

14 the pave cut and pothole repair process to

15 date.

16 Mr. Schuster just touched on it

17 which is great. You know, we -- they started

18 this new process months ago. And it's supposed

19 to be more streamlined. So I asked that

20 question, you know, where are we at. And

21 because, you know, there's not a week that goes

22 by that someone doesn't bring it up in Fourth

23 Order or text me or call me or I encounter

24 myself driving here.

25 So how many old pave cuts in the
 84

 1 city have been addressed and repaired. That's

 2 an issue -- it's an issue with Mr. Spindler.

 3 He's been looking at the same problem for

 4 years. And that was my concern too. They're

 5 Johnny on the spot on the new ones. I've seen

 6 that. Like I said, the one near Gerrity's next

 7 to my house looks like it should be in

 8 Wikipedia. It's perfect, but the rest of them

 9 are not or even the older ones.

10 So I want to know where we are with

11 that. So as of June 27th, DPW has repaired 132

12 potholes reported through Scranton Pothles dot

13 com. The city has addressed all issues

14 identified. It's estimated that nearly 100

15 instances of prior year's work have been

16 investigated to date.

17 So the prior years work, she

18 referring to the pave cuts or whoever sent

19 this. But I think some of these are older like

20 Mr. Spindler. You know, we can't -- we have to

21 look at all of them. And it says these have

22 been identified through Mayor Cognetti, Pave

23 Cut Inspector, City Council, resident

24 complaints, city staff.

25 Well, we know that because we bring
 85

 1 them forward. We know where we are at with

 2 that. So locations and reports are then

 3 crosschecked with prior year permits on PA One

 4 Calls to find the entity responsible.

 5 If a permit wasn't submitted in the

 6 given year, they will be required to submit a

 7 permit in the new system. Companies have been

 8 responsive and frequently repair the work with

 9 very short turnaround.

10 So I don't know if this is working.

11 They're trying to make it sound like it's

12 working, but it doesn't appear it's really

13 working yet and for the residents that I talk

14 to. All right, so we got to keep our eye on

15 that.

16 Then -- so also regarding potholes,

17 so, you know, it was -- it wasn't clear because

18 I asked this prior -- I have potholes almost

19 every week. It's exhausting. But I remember

20 asking because hearing, you know, living here

21 long enough, 62 years, I remember that people

22 used to get reimbursed for damaged cars and

23 mufflers and tires.

24 I just remember it. And then I was

25 told, no, you have to go after utilities. But
 86

 1 then I asked again. And then they actually

 2 said that -- that you had -- that you could

 3 submit -- they said you could file a claim with

 4 legal in the city.

 5 And I said, well, that's great. I

 6 said I know it now, but the rest of the world

 7 needs to know it. So I said could you please

 8 put it somewhere on the website so it's

 9 accessible where people are aware of it. And

10 all they said was noted. So noted, so I don't

11 know if they are going to do. So we'll follow

12 up on that too. All right.

13 Then so 126 South Webster Avenue I

14 don't think it's part of the bridgework that's

15 going on down there. But there's three

16 barricades on the street that separate -- I

17 don't know. I only got a picture. I didn't

18 take a ride by.

19 But one looks like it's from me to

20 Norma. And then it looks like another one's

21 the same distance and another one. And also,

22 the same alley behind that has another

23 barricade. And it's the whole width of the

24 street.

25 And, you know what, I don't know to
 87

 1 be honest -- I wasn't sure if I told the

 2 gentleman who called me I said I'll bring it up

 3 because I don't know what's going on there. I

 4 thought it was some type of bridgework.

 5 But it goes right to his property

 6 line. And his concerns are, you know, first of

 7 all, garbage and recycling pickup. But his

 8 bigger concerns are when the weather starts

 9 getting, you know, cold and snowy and ice,

10 how's that truck going to get back there and

11 plow, especially in the alley because it's

12 totally bar -- one end is barricaded.

13 So how are they going to get down

14 there? It's a hill, you know, plow, ice,

15 pickup route after pickup and then have to back

16 it up uphill to get out of there. It looks

17 like a nightmare. And I agree with him. So he

18 would like to know is there a solution prior to

19 the weather hitting. He's concerned about it.

20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll find out.

21 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Then I

22 know, you know, there's a big push to have

23 broadband everywhere, you know, and replacing

24 broadband in the state and the country and a

25 big push for it.
 88

 1 So I know the city has been talking

 2 about it. But I received a concern on a

 3 property in Tripp Park KOZ, right, so

 4 everything is underground for them. They don't

 5 have telephone poles. And the resident

 6 received a letter from Astound, right, it's the

 7 internet company.

 8 And I know it's part of the, you

 9 know, the broadband project. I know there's

10 another one too. But, you know, she just

11 wanted to confirm this is a provider. And I

12 know what it is, but her concern was -- and she

13 got a little chart in the mail. And it says

14 like white paint.

15 I know we talked about it a couple,

16 maybe a month ago what the color paint means on

17 the record, if it's purple, if it's yellow, is

18 it the gas company, is it the water company.

19 Well, this had a little color chart. It said

20 white. So the white paint is proposed

21 excavation on her property.

22 But she said it's sprayed all over

23 her yard. I mean, I don't know how far -- how

24 much farther these lines are supposed to be put

25 down for the broadband, but she's concerned,
 89

 1 first of all, does she have to have it? Can

 2 she say no? It's her property, right, I don't

 3 know.

 4 And that's a good question. And the

 5 way the lines were painted in her yard, it's

 6 like under very beautiful matured landscaping

 7 and shrubbery that will be affected by it. And

 8 the line is like running towards where it would

 9 go underneath her concrete driveway.

10 So and she tried reaching out to the

11 city with no response. And she called the

12 internet company with no response. So could

13 you please help us out?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Our city

15 planner should have information on that.

16 MR. MCANDREW: All right, please

17 relay that to him. All right. Thank you. No,

18 I think that's it. Thank you.

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

20 MR. SCHUSTER: I did have something.

21 Real quick on our -- the pave cuts, we had the

22 one on -- like I said, there was several good

23 examples lately, one on Court Street that's

24 new. The one on Bulwer is new as well. It's

25 only I'd say a month or two old and then the
 90

 1 one on 7th Ave.

 2 But there was also the one on

 3 Clearview that we got several messages from I

 4 think it was the 1800 block of Clearview. The

 5 work has stopped if we can just get an update

 6 on what's occurring with that one on Clearview.

 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: And I did add you

 9 into an e-mail, Frank, just so you know,

10 Jessica said she didn't -- I don't know if she

11 didn't get an update on the Lookout and I know

12 Mr. Smurl's probably going to talk about, but

13 some members of the DPW did reach out to me

14 that were bricklayers for over 30 years.

15 They said they approached some of

16 the supervisors possibly about the DPW taking

17 on that work and they would be happy to do it.

18 So I did send a followup e-mail today as well

19 on the same topic. So if we could see what the

20 supervisor's opinions are of our own DPW having

21 bricklaying experience and concrete experience

22 to do that work and get those repairs done at

23 our own Lookout.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will.

25 MR. SMURL: Okay. I guess I'll
 91

 1 continue on the Lookout since it was brought up

 2 earlier. There were a group volunteers that

 3 went up Sunday and cleaned it because of the

 4 last five weeks of endless complaints about the

 5 Lookout.

 6 So I know there's been a lot of

 7 problems with walls also. And also Parks and

 8 Recs are supposed to maintain that area up

 9 there. But in the summertime when the rain

10 starts and the heat starts and everything

11 starts to grow again, that entire place just

12 gets overgrown quickly.

13 And Parks and Recs -- it's very thin

14 manpower because the pool is open so they lose

15 men to the pools, to splash pads and stuff. So

16 they can't keep up with everything that they

17 normally keep up with in the summertime.

18 I know they hire extra help in the

19 summertime. But they are a lot of young, you

20 know, people doing that. So they don't really

21 get as much done as they would want to get

22 done. So the thing is, we went up and cleaned

23 it again.

24 And there are -- the entire thing

25 about this is, people say you're taking work
 92

 1 off of union employees. Now, no one is being

 2 laid off in Parks and Rec or the DPW. There is

 3 constant overtime there. There is all the

 4 overtime they could want.

 5 And these are all volunteers that go

 6 out and just try to clean -- clean this up and

 7 make the city just look better and be a lot

 8 cleaner and safer for everyone. So that's

 9 done. And while we were there, we did take

10 pictures just to see all of the damage.

11 There are about 30 sections at the

12 top that are missing stones. But the problem

13 with the stones are, every stone that's

14 missing, it looks like it was thrown over the

15 back wall, which drops about 30 feet straight

16 down.

17 So for our DPW to go up there now

18 this time of the year where the brush is

19 really, really thick up behind there, it's

20 almost impossible to get in there right now. I

21 think a better time would be in the fall to get

22 them out.

23 And our DPW right now is working on

24 all the stormwater projects that the pipes that

25 were blocked, all the storm drains were blocked
 93

 1 in Keyser Valley.

 2 They are all over there on all that

 3 work. So I don't see them coming to this

 4 quickly. So we did look. It doesn't seem to

 5 be any foundation problems. But I know I sent

 6 this to the administration.

 7 They gave it to the City Engineer

 8 and they will deal with that if the DPW can

 9 handle that, that's great. But I know right

10 now at this point there's not enough time for

11 them to do that. So if that does become

12 available, I'm sure that they will go up and do

13 it.

14 And then the last thing I have is

15 on July 4th of 2026, the United States will

16 celebrate it's 150th anniversary of the signing

17 of the Declaration of Independence. So last

18 Friday, I was at the Scranton Raiders, 4th of

19 July ceremony at Nay Aug Park.

20 And before that, I was speaking with

21 the Sam Kuchwara about bringing in the Veterans

22 Memorial Wall. And I was told that it's

23 updated. There are new sections. And there's

24 a lot of new things to it. So we did some

25 information.
 94

 1 I got all of this information from

 2 Mr. Kuchwara about bringing this in. It seems

 3 it's about $15,000 to bring it in for

 4 our -- and I think this is something that the

 5 city should sponsor for our veterans.

 6 So I did ask the administration

 7 about adding this to the budget for this year.

 8 And I'm going ask our Council members if

 9 everybody is okay with this that I would send

10 this back down to the administration and ask

11 them to put this in our budget for next year

12 so that we could get started on it because it

13 takes an entire year of planning to get this

14 done.

15 So if we get it in now or in the

16 next month, I believe we could get this

17 sometime in August of next year. I think it's

18 a great year -- time to have this for our

19 veterans, our 250th anniversary. So I'll ask

20 Council members --

21 MR. MCANDREW: Absolutely.

22 Fantastic.

23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.

24 MR. SMURL: Jessica, are you --

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.
 95

 1 MR. SMURL: Tom?

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.

 3 MR. SMURL: So all Council is

 4 agreeable, I will send this back down to the

 5 administration to our Mayor and Eileen Cipriani

 6 and ask them to place this in next year's

 7 budget so we could get moving on it.

 8 It does require a large deposit. So

 9 they also said they would take care of that as

10 long as Council all agree with it and we do.

11 So that's a really nice thing to do for our

12 veterans.

10 MR. SMURL: You've heard reading by

11 title of Item 6-D. What is your pleasure?

12 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Chairman, I move

13 that Item 6-D pass reading by title.

14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second.

15 MR. SMURL: On the question? All

16 those --

17 MR. SCHUSTER: So on the question,

18 back in 2012 when the default happened and then

19 2016 when the monetization happened, the

20 monetization was, you know, considered one of

21 the first steps of revitalization in the City

22 of Scranton.

23 And I feel this rate -- the rate

24 increase plus the extension of hours plus the

25 addition of Saturdays, goes against that
 103

 1 revitalization. It defeats that purpose. We

 2 heard tonight many arguments for several

 3 different things which were my concerns last

 4 week, how it affects businesses, how it affects

 5 college students, how it affects those on a

 6 fixed income.

 7 And they're going to go back to the

 8 table and see if we could get any concessions

 9 from this concession. I hope that they do

10 that. I hope a message gets sent from Council

11 tonight when they go to speak with them to come

12 back and to be supporting our businesses and

13 our residents and those on fixed incomes in the

14 City of Scranton and help with the continued

15 revitalization of the City of Scranton.

16 I hope those concessions can be

17 made. And I hope we could move forward with

18 that.

19 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? All right.

20 Good. All those in favor --

21 MR. MCANDREW: No, no, no, not good.

22 All right. I'm going to summarize what I said

23 in caucus and again what I said in fifth. This

24 piece of legislation is separate than all the

25 others, all right? But this piece of
 104

 1 legislation I have a problem with.

 2 And the problem I have with it is

 3 that weekend piece. All right. I didn't see

 4 one person come up to that podium tonight and

 5 say they were in favor of it, right? I was

 6 thrilled, like I said, in caucus to see and

 7 have a common denominator, this whole room was

 8 caring for the residents and supporting them

 9 and supporting -- and cherishing their

10 customers.

11 Guess what, it's not -- it's not,

12 you know how expensive it is to do business in

13 the City of Scranton and they chose to come

14 here and open businesses, you know, and some

15 are residents. And then to have this extra

16 burden put on them because of the weekends, I

17 just see it's a deterrent.

18 I mean, we heard from everybody.

19 And they should know. They're the business

20 owners. I believe them. I take them at their

21 word, right? They're the ones that know how

22 they would be affected.

23 So with that said -- but also, at

24 the end of the day, we can't let this default

25 the agreement. So they have to come up with a
 105

 1 better plan because if they default, it comes

 2 back to us. And guess what, the city -- the

 3 city couldn't do it in 2016. They couldn't

 4 handle parking garages or -- and deal with it.

 5 They went into default.

 6 Christ, they can't even handle the

 7 potholes we bring up every week. How are they

 8 going to deal with parking spaces and garages.

 9 No, I'm not trying to be mean. But that's the

10 reality. I'm a realist. So I don't know if I

11 should just table this, make a motion to table

12 until maybe Mr. King is back, until maybe we

13 get some answers.

14 But I think that's the right move

15 right now is to -- so with that said, I'm going

16 to make a motion to table this piece of

17 legislation.

18 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll second that.

19 MR. SMURL: We have a motion to

20 table and a second. Yes.

21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: -- the rules, a

22 tie vote defeats a motion just so you're all

23 aware of that going into your vote. If it's a

24 tie, the motion to table goes down and then you

25 have to vote the original motion.
 106

 1 MR. SMURL: So a tie fails.

 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: A tie fails just so

 3 you're aware.

 4 MR. SMURL: So do you want a roll

 5 call or just --

 6 MR. MCANDREW: Do a roll call.

 7 MR. SMURL: Do a roll call.

 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I would suggest a

 9 roll call would be appropriate in this

10 circumstance.

11 MR. SMURL: Yes, okay.

12 DR. ROTHCHILD: I would like to

13 first speak on the question, on the question

14 the motion to table but also on the question

15 for the legislation. So I -- like I said

16 earlier, I appreciate the concerns that were

17 brought forth. And I had concerns of my own

18 too and other questions that had come up.

19 And in addition to what they are

20 going to reconsider or bring back to the table

21 to the bondholders for the days and hours,

22 there were a couple of other things that were

23 important to me, important considerations.

24 First, I understand the need for the

25 debt refinancing. But I want to make sure some
 107

 1 of these other concerns can be addressed as

 2 well. First, as I mentioned during caucus, I

 3 really want to see a hard stop for payment

 4 after hours so that were not accepting money.

 5 I feel like it's deceptive to people

 6 who may not even be residents or outside of the

 7 area who are visiting and are not aware of

 8 parking hours for us to continue accepting

 9 payment at the kiosk.

10 I also want to see of a detailed

11 explanation for what employees would be

12 enforcing the new hours and what -- factoring

13 in that cost as well to pay those employees and

14 making sure that they can enforce throughout --

15 throughout the city.

16 Also, I know that we previously had

17 less of a cost for tickets if they were paid

18 within a certain time period, like, say the

19 first 24 or 48 hours rather than it be $35,

20 maybe incentivizing people to pay their tickets

21 when they receive them so that they don't put

22 them off.

23 So I'd like to see a consideration

24 for that. Obviously we need better maintenance

25 of the kiosk. We have been asking about that
 108

 1 for a long time now. I previously asked for

 2 data on how many kiosks are down per day. I

 3 think I was told it was one percent or

 4 something but never really saw like the proof

 5 to back that up.

 6 And from what people are talking

 7 about, it just has always seemed like more than

 8 that because of the frequency with which the

 9 kiosks are not working or even if there is

10 glitches where they are not accepting certain

11 forms of payment, that's problematic and

12 especially for people to have to go to multiple

13 kiosks.

14 I also in the past asked for just

15 better education of the public about use of the

16 kiosk, say for our elderly people who are more

17 confused by how to pay on it and how to operate

18 that -- that screen. And that's not something

19 that I've really seen.

20 And so it sounds like people still

21 do have a lot of confusion around how to use

22 the kiosk. And if they can't use the kiosk,

23 they're certainly not going to download the

24 Pango app. They might not have the savvy to do

25 that. And another thing for incentivizing
 109

 1 parking in our garages at least for those

 2 long-term parkers that we're looking to move

 3 off the street during those -- during those

 4 hours would like to see discounts for students

 5 or for downtown residents or for businesses.

 6 I know the idea of vouchers was

 7 brought up too. At the Marketplace they do

 8 vouchers for their parking. You could get them

 9 stamped when you go inside somewhere. So I

10 think we could be a lot more creative around

11 that.

12 I think that would take some of the

13 pressure off businesses if the hours were to be

14 extended or our rates were to be increased. So

15 sorry that was lengthy, but those were some

16 important things that I had wanted to make sure

17 to get out prior to this.

18 With regards to the motion to table,

19 I know they are going to bring back -- I don't

20 know how regularly they could get responses.

21 Because this is in Sixth Order, I'd be okay

22 with letting it go to Seventh. But I will not

23 vote for it next week if we don't have the

24 answers that are needed and on these important

25 points that I brought up as well and not
 110

 1 totally confident that it will happen within

 2 that period of time. But would still like to

 3 give them that time to do that.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: So I would just like

 5 to say one more thing. In 2016 when this deal

 6 was made, NDC was quoted as saying the city is

 7 going to retain ownership and we're going to be

 8 participating in key decisionmaking with the

 9 whole deal.

10 This is one of those key decisions

11 that needs to be made. I do think we need to

12 think of our residents and our businesses in

13 Scranton. And again, it was considered the

14 first step in revitalization after all the

15 financial difficulty of those years.

16 It's part of the reason I'm involved

17 today was trying to get out of those

18 troublesome -- some of those years. And I

19 don't want it to be forgotten that we have

20 helped with this deal in the past. This is

21 something that we do want to see.

22 Council has helped this organization

23 run the parking garages. So it's something

24 we've helped with in the past. And I don't

25 want that to be forgotten. But we are a key
 111

 1 decisionmaker in this. I don't -- if you'd

 2 like to rescind your second or if we'd like to

 3 just move forward with our roll call.

 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: There was a motion

 5 and second. You're now on the question of

 6 tabling the motion. So now it's -- if

 7 everybody is done speaking on it, you could

 8 vote to table.

 9 MR. MCANDREW: I'm ready to vote to

10 table unless you want to say something.

11 MR. SMURL: I'm going to say

12 something. And, of course, so I just want to

13 say that this isn't something that started

14 today. This started back in 2012 when the City

15 Council back then decided not to pay debt

16 obligations of the Parking Authority.

17 And that destroyed our credit rating

18 back then. I certainly don't want to see that

19 happen again. This restructures the parking

20 system. It includes dissolving the Parking

21 Authority that really doesn't do much. It

22 gives us that money to dump back into the

23 garages for repairs.

24 It avoids a financial default. And

25 it reduces the debt by 15 million dollars.
 112

 1 That 15 million dollars is a hit that the

 2 bondholders are going to take, not us. And we

 3 are not borrowing the money. They are. We

 4 really are not responsible for that.

 5 But we are going to get the actual

 6 structures back which we don't have right now.

 7 We do own the parking meters and kiosks and

 8 stuff. But we don't own the structures. But I

 9 certainly don't want to hold this up at all.

10 And they are going to come back hopefully in a

11 few days with the answer.

12 The only part that I don't like is

13 the total Saturday parking and charging for

14 parking on Saturday. I do understand the

15 parking Monday through Friday to extend it.

16 And I have spoken to restaurant owners

17 downtown.

18 And they feel that the parking -- if

19 I live -- say in the Forum and I decided to --

20 I come home from work at 5:00 and I park

21 downtown because I don't want to pay the fee

22 for the garage, so I'll park downtown. So my

23 car or my vehicle is in that spot until

24 tomorrow morning and it's there for free.

25 Now, if, you know, you have a lot of
 113

 1 people doing that, you're going to take a lot

 2 of spots for restaurants, for the bars, for the

 3 places that are open in the evening. So the

 4 whole idea of that is to eliminate those

 5 vehicles from being there.

 6 Now, I certainly believe that Car

 7 Park should get into the some kind of agreement

 8 with parkers that would put their vehicles away

 9 at night that actually live downtown. They

10 would have to go through the owners of the

11 buildings or however they did it.

12 But I believe that would be

13 something that they should look into. But the

14 entire day on Saturday I do have a problem

15 with. So that is all I have to say. So this

16 will be a vote on tabling.

17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Tabling 6-D.

18 MR. SMURL: Tabling 6-D. I'm sorry.

19 It is 6-D, correct?

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes.

21 MR. SMURL: Roll call, please.

22 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.

24 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild.

25 DR. ROTHCHILD: No to table.
 114

 1 MS. CARRERA: Mr. McAndrew.

 2 MR. MCANDREW: Yes.

 3 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Smurl.

 4 MR. SMURL: No.

 5 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So the motion to

 6 table fails. Now you have the motion on the

 7 underlying 6-D legislation.

 8 MR. SMURL: So we will vote on 6-D.

 9 Do you also want to do this --

10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I would like to

11 point out as well since you do have a tie and

12 this is unusual for us, besides a tie vote

13 failing, if a motion is to be brought back by

14 way of a motion to reconsider, the individual

15 who makes the motions to reconsider, must have

16 been on the prevailing side of the vote that

17 denied it.

18 MR. SMURL: Okay. You're going to

19 have to -- a little louder.

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So if a motion

21 fails, the only person that could bring a

22 motion to reconsider that motion is somebody

23 who was on the side that won below. So in

24 others words, they had to vote no.

25 MR. SMURL: Okay.
 115

 1 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Right, if it's a

 2 tie, that motion cannot come back.

 3 MR. SMURL: Yes.

 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Which means we will

 5 be in theory putting the city in jeopardy of a

 6 default.

 7 MR. SMURL: Yes.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Is there a timeline

 9 on that, Mr. Gilbride?

10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: There's no

11 timeline. It can't be done because it's a tie

12 vote.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: There is no timeline.

14 That's it. It fails. It fails for a --

15 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Motion fails. And

16 it can't be brought back by way of

17 reconsideration because there was a tie. A tie

18 fails.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Gotcha.

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So it would be -- I

21 mean, in essence, I guess the tie people who

22 voted no could bring it back. They could --

23 whoever voted no could ask for a motion to

24 reconsider.

25 MR. MCANDREW: So the table would
 116

 1 have been a more reasonable vote. So now we

 2 have to go back to the original motion. And if

 3 I vote no and Schuster votes no, it fails.

 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It fails.

 5 MR. SCHUSTER: And one of us would

 6 have to bring it back.

 7 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah. Silly. This

 8 is nonsense.

 9 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It's the rules.

10 MR. SMURL: All right. So we want

11 to vote on 6-D. Do you want a roll call or do

12 you just want aye or nay?

13 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, you're -- so

14 it would be easier but you're probably going to

15 have to do it anyway. But ordinarily on this

16 Section 6 you vote ayes or nays, which the

17 President then decides whether he felt it

18 was -- it passed or it failed.

19 If that was disagreed with, the

20 Board -- the members who voted the opposite way

21 could challenge that and then you would have to

22 do a roll call anyway. So it's up to you how

23 you want to do it. If you want to put another

24 layer in there, you could do that.

25 MR. SMURL: So it will be -- it will
 117

 1 be safer to do a roll call.

 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, you'll know

 3 for certain.

 4 MR. SMURL: Okay. Then we will do

 5 the roll call.

 6 MR. SCHUSTER: And then,

 7 Mr. Gilbride, if concessions are made and we

 8 decide to bring it up, is there a timeline to

 9 bring it back?

10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, this is all

11 based upon the funding, right? So that's the

12 problem with delaying on bonds. What the

13 interest rate is today, it's not going to be

14 tomorrow. So that's why the urgency when it

15 comes to bond deals.

16 So is there a timeline, well, there

17 is no legal timeline. But the timeline is what

18 if at sometime it becomes unworth --

19 MR. SCHUSTER: And if it affects --

20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, and that's

21 not my expertise. I can't tell you anything

22 about that.

23 MR. SCHUSTER: Understood.

24 MR. SMURL: Okay.

25 MS. CARRERA: So it's 6-D to pass
 118

 1 reading by title.

 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: 6-D.

 3 MS. CARRERA: To pass reading by

 4 title.
