10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Are there

11 any comments on any of the Third Order items?

12 If not, received and filed.

13 Do any Council members have any

14 announcements at this time?

15 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, I have a few. As

16 I stated last week, this Sunday, March 29th,

17 Green Ridge Neighborhood Association is hosting

18 their annual Easter egg hunt at Pretzel Park,

19 the corner of North Washington and Electric

20 Street. It starts at 1 p.m. and it's a free

21 entry.

22 A few other -- I have a few

23 basketball related announcements. I just want

24 to congratulate the University of Scranton

25 women's basketball team on a fabulous season,
 6

 1 went to the National Championship, had a

 2 phenomenal game beating NYU Women's Basketball

 3 team breaking their 91 game win streak, fell

 4 short in that championship game to a great

 5 Denison team.

 6 But it was their only loss this

 7 season, fabulous season, so congratulations to

 8 the University of Scranton Women's Basketball

 9 team. And I would also be remiss to not -- to

10 not mention Scranton native and in my

11 estimation, legend Jerry McNamara being named

12 as the new basketball coach at Syracuse

13 University, his alma mater.

14 Brings me back to my times watching

15 him as a young kid at Bishop Hannon and taking

16 those bus trips to Syracuse to see him play.

17 So congratulations to him as well. I know

18 Scranton is behind you and we're rooting for

19 you. That's all I have. Thank you.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

21 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I got a couple.

22 So, yeah, great job, Lady Royals. I'm going to

23 echo Mr. Flynn's comments here. Jerry Mac, I

24 saw them play Notre Dame on the bus trips as a

25 fan. I'm a fan of his too. But it will be
 7

 1 great to go back 81 and relive some of that.

 2 Also, the Victor Alfieri Society or

 3 club in West Side is having a special menu this

 4 Thursday, 11:30 to 1. They're having gnocchi

 5 or cheese ravioli or you could get half and

 6 half with meatballs, $12 for members, 14 for

 7 nonmembers. That's a great deal.

 8 And also, our friends over at the

 9 St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, their shelves

10 are running low. So the Client Choice Food

11 Pantry, we would -- they would appreciate

12 some -- and be very grateful to any support or

13 donation you could give.

14 And the items that they're looking

15 for are, like, jarred peanut butter, jelly,

16 crackers, pasta sauce, mayonnaise and bottled

17 water. All right. And that is all I have.

18 Thank you.

19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other

20 announcements? I have an announcement that --

21 we'll announce it next week as well, but DPW

22 will be off April 6th for Easter Monday. And

23 garbage will be a day late that week. We'll

24 announce it again next week, but garbage will

25 be a day late the week of Easter Monday.

 1 Fourth Order.

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER.

 3 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker

 5 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz.

 6 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz,

 7 Scranton. The legislation for $324,880 for the

 8 private contractors for the winter storm that

 9 we had in January, I read through the backup.

10 And I see that the city is still blaming

11 insufficient staffing due to significant DPW

12 callouts.

13 Now, I know that you've scheduled a

14 caucus on April 7th with, I believe, the

15 Director of DPW two weeks from tonight, which

16 will be the third reading of this particular

17 ordinance. And I'm glad that you haven't moved

18 it up like you have with the DPW contract

19 because I want to hear the other side of the

20 story from the DPW staff why there was so many

21 callouts.

22 There's always two sides to every

23 story. And I hope that the personnel who come

24 to the caucus stay for the entire meeting to

25 hear any comments that are made during Fourth
 9

 1 Order on April 7 and not just walk out, like,

 2 well, done and gone, you know. So I know that

 3 we need to pay for these services, and that's

 4 not the issue.

 5 I'm concerned about how DPW workers

 6 are being tarred and feathered before they've

 7 had their say. And I just -- just my personal

 8 opinion. Thank God we have a DPW contract.

 9 It's only been 448 days. But, you know, who am

10 I to complain?

11 I saw in the -- first of all, all we

12 have is a memorandum listing the changes to the

13 previous contract. Somebody needs to sit down

14 and type out the whole contract so we have one

15 document and then post it to the city's

16 website. This is something that every time we

17 have a labor contract renewed, you know, you

18 have to beg.

19 And they say, oh, you know, we have

20 it, and all you have is the memorandum listing

21 the changes. Those changes need to be put into

22 a single document and somebody needs to take

23 ownership of that. That's -- all that is is a

24 typing drill.

25 You let the lawyers look at it and
 10

 1 make sure no one made any mistakes. But it

 2 doesn't help the residents or the municipal

 3 employees to have 20 documents to sift through.

 4 You need one document.

 5 I saw in the contract that they --

 6 DPW is no longer required to reside in the

 7 city. So that puts them on a par I believe

 8 with police and firefighters. I saw the figure

 9 for the 2025 one time bonus to all the union

10 employees of $225,000.

11 What I did not see calculated was

12 the pay raises in 2026. You see, you know,

13 these people are getting a $1.50 pay raise and

14 the rest of them are getting a $2 pay raise.

15 How -- what is the total dollar figure for the

16 2026 budget? Somebody needs to calculate that

17 and tell the public what that figure is.

18 Where is it going to come out? Is

19 it going to come out of professional services

20 in business administration or is it coming out

21 of the contingency fund? I'd like to know

22 what is that figure and where is it going to

23 come out because if you look at the 2025 city

24 budget, you see those 90 union employees flat

25 wages.
 11

 1 There was no increase in their

 2 wages. So we need to see what it's going to be

 3 for the year for 2026. And I don't want to

 4 have to wait until they show us the 2027

 5 budget. I want to know now. And just in case

 6 you forgotten, police and fire, their contracts

 7 end at the end of this year.

 8 I'm hoping that they have a running

 9 head start when they start those negotiations

10 because the prior contracts, both of them took

11 over one year. We need to get out of this

12 pattern of doing things that late.

13 And I'm sure that somebody is going

14 to make a lot of money on those negotiations in

15 terms of labor counsels. Thank you.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next

17 speaker is Mike Mancini.

18 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council

19 President Schuster. Good evening, Council,

20 residents of Scranton. Tonight part three, my

21 version of the state of Scranton, our unionized

22 employees.

23 Scranton is a city built on hard

24 work, resilience, and pride. And at the heart

25 of that foundation, our unionized city
 12

 1 employees. From the men and women who maintain

 2 our streets to those who protect our neighbors,

 3 respond to emergencies, ensure city services

 4 run smoothly, union labor is not just the

 5 workforce. It's the backbone of our community.

 6 Every day our city employees show up

 7 with a commitment that goes far beyond

 8 paychecks. They're plow operators who work

 9 through the night in the harshest of winter

10 storms so our streets are safe by morning.

11 They're firefighters who run towards danger

12 while others are running away.

13 They are police officers who patrol

14 our streets often under difficult circumstances

15 to keep our families safe. They are sanitation

16 workers who keep our neighborhoods clean and

17 liveable regardless of the elements. They are

18 the clerks, technicians and public work crews

19 make sure our city government functions

20 efficiently and reliably.

21 What makes our unionized labor in

22 Scranton so important, it's not just the work

23 itself but the standards it upholds. Scranton

24 has always been a union town. Our history is

25 rooted in labor movement from the railroads, to
 13

 1 the mines, to the factories that once powered

 2 this region. That legacy still matters today.

 3 It reminds us that strong

 4 communities are built with workers have a voice

 5 when jobs are stable, with the dignity in every

 6 role. But as we look to the future, we must

 7 recognize that supporting our city employees'

 8 workforce, is one of our most important assets.

 9 The challenges facing our city today

10 are real, aging infrastructure, tight budgets,

11 changing economic conditions and increasing

12 demand for public services. Meeting those

13 challenges requires a workforce that is

14 experienced, motivating and equipped to adapt.

15 The good direction for Scranton is

16 one that invests in its people. That means

17 maintaining fair contracts, fostering open

18 communication between all city leadership and

19 employees. It means working collaboratively,

20 not adversarial to find solutions that balance

21 fiscal responsibility with the need to retain

22 our skilled workers.

23 It also means recognizing that

24 efficiency and fairness are not opposing goals.

25 When we invest in modern equipment, updated
 14

 1 systems, and workforce development, we power

 2 union employees to do their jobs more

 3 effectively.

 4 That leads to better services, cost

 5 savings over time and a stronger city overall.

 6 Transparency and accountability must also guide

 7 us. Residents deserve to know how their city

 8 operates. And city employees deserve to be

 9 part of those conversations.

10 When we build trust between our

11 city, its employees, and the public, we create

12 a foundation for long-term success. Most

13 importantly, we must remember that behind every

14 job title is a person, a neighbor, a parent, a

15 friend who is committed to our city.

16 Good morale is critical to success.

17 Our unionized employees just don't work here.

18 They live here. They care deeply about

19 Scranton because it's their home. We continue

20 to support, invest in our workforce while

21 embracing innovation and responsible

22 governance, Scranton can move forward with

23 confidence.

24 We can also preserve the values that

25 define us while building a future that is
 15

 1 stronger, more efficient, more united. The

 2 path ahead is not about choosing between

 3 history, tradition and progress. It's about

 4 bringing them together.

 5 By honoring our union roots, and

 6 committing ourselves to smart forward thinking

 7 relationships and leadership, we could ensure

 8 that Scranton remains a city that works for

 9 everybody. On this day, Council will finally

10 approve a contract for DPW unionized employees.

11 I believe it's time to bring all

12 union chiefs to caucus. Let's hear what they

13 have to say. Do each of you agree? Thank you

14 to all of our city employees. Next week, part

15 four of my series, Scranton City Council. Good

16 night, Council and residents of Scranton.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next

18 is Mr. Paul Lindsay.

19 MR. LINDSAY: Good evening, Council.

20 My name is Paul Lindsay. I am a resident and

21 taxpayer of the city. I'm very familiar with

22 government and how it works having proudly

23 served the federal, state, city and county

24 governments for nearly 30 years.

25 I came to tonight's meeting out of
 16

 1 necessity to discuss my concerns regarding the

 2 current situation in the City of Scranton that

 3 needs immediate attention, specifically our

 4 roads and all the areas that the utility

 5 contractors have torn up.

 6 They are roads specifically in the

 7 South Side that remind me of a third world

 8 country. I understand that there are times

 9 that utility contractors need to make emergency

10 repairs and those repairs occur when the

11 asphalt plant was closed and proper patching

12 cannot occur. I get that.

13 Currently, there are roads in South

14 Side that have been torn up by utility

15 contractors and temporarily patched for several

16 months now leaving these roads in deplorable

17 condition. My question to Council is, who

18 ultimately oversees the pavement cuts in the

19 City of Scranton?

20 MR. SCHUSTER: So the individuals

21 that you saw here tonight in caucus.

22 MR. LINDSAY: But who ultimately

23 oversees them?

24 MR. SCHUSTER: The Business

25 Administrator.
 17

 1 MR. LINDSAY: So it would be the

 2 City of Scranton, the administration, correct?

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes.

 4 MR. LINDSAY: Okay. My next

 5 question is, how many pavement cut inspectors

 6 does the private company employ in the city?

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: We could find that

 8 out.

 9 MR. LINDSAY: Okay, thank you,

10 because they already said they have 900 that

11 they have to address. That's a pretty large

12 number.

13 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, and that's 900.

14 So that's only the first three months. So

15 there was over 700, almost 800 in '25. And

16 there's 179. There will be more to come.

17 MR. LINDSAY: Yes. It appears to me

18 there's a lot of work that needs to be done.

19 My next question is, is there a system in place

20 to ensure that the utility contractors are

21 making these repairs in the road in a timely

22 fashion?

23 My understanding there is an

24 ordinance in place. But again, I think there

25 is some issues with the ordinance and how many
 18

 1 teeth the actual ordinance has. We heard a lot

 2 of what I would call -- I sat in on this

 3 meeting here earlier. I heard a lot of excuses

 4 and nothing's getting done.

 5 You know, blaming, you know,

 6 technology and everything. But there was

 7 things in the past that it got done. I've

 8 never seen the roads as bad it has been right

 9 now. It's deplorable. If there is, I don't

10 believe there has been any compliance by the

11 utility contractors.

12 As a taxpayer, I believe the City of

13 Scranton needs to implement a system that holds

14 these utility contractors to strict guidelines

15 outlined by the work agreement. Moving forward

16 I believe that before any additional

17 nonemergency digging occurs, these utility

18 contractors need to address all the roads that

19 need to be repaved and all the emergency

20 repairs that occurred should be patched

21 properly.

22 I mean, it appears to me like

23 there's -- they're getting way far out ahead of

24 themselves and allowing this to go into the

25 wintertime knowing that these pavement plants
 19

 1 shut down. That should not occur. If they

 2 cannot complete it prior to the pavement

 3 plants -- the pavement plants closing, they

 4 should not be doing that, digging up the road.

 5 That's just not right.

 6 I estimate it will take all of the

 7 spring, summer, and fall to complete these

 8 tasks. The city needs to hold these utility

 9 contractors accountable. Remember, what you

10 tolerate becomes a standard. If you accept

11 mediocrity, that becomes the norm.

12 The results thus far are a direct

13 reflection of a system that is a broken and in

14 dire need of repair. I believe this

15 administration has failed and it bears part of

16 the blame. With a show of hands, which Council

17 members believe we, the City of Scranton, need

18 to do a better job of policing pave cuts and

19 repairs by utility contractors.

20 MR. SCHUSTER: I have been speaking

21 about this since the day I got here.

22 MR. LINDSAY: So I believe it's

23 every one of you, right? Yes, let's get it

24 done. Let's get it done. Let's put the

25 pressure on administration as they are
 20

 1 ultimately responsible for ensuring the utility

 2 contractors comply. Thank you.

 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next

 4 is Les Spindler.

 5 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,

 6 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and

 7 homeowner. I too want to congratulate the Lady

 8 Royals. They had a great season.

 9 Unfortunately they picked the worst time to

10 play the worst game of the year.

11 I watched the game. They made a

12 good comeback in the third quarter. They took

13 the lead, but then they fell apart in the

14 fourth quarter. But those kids could hold

15 their heads up high. They should be proud of

16 themselves.

17 And I mentioned last week that Kaci

18 Kranson is the daughter of police officer Jill

19 Foley. And Jill told me that Kaci is going to

20 be following in her footsteps. She's going to

21 be a Scranton Police Officer. She passed her

22 test already.

23 All she has to do is get a physical

24 and get her training. So she will be a good

25 addition to our police department. I want to
 21

 1 congratulate Jerry McNamara too on getting the

 2 job at Syracuse. I've been a Syracuse

 3 basketball fan ever since Jimmy

 4 Boeheim{phonetic} was the head coach, been a

 5 Jimmy Boeheim fan ever since he played

 6 basketball for our Scranton Miners basketball

 7 team, which I don't know if any of you are old

 8 enough to know about.

 9 I remember growing up as a kid, went

10 to every Miner game. And they were great. It

11 was great basketball. And Jimmy was my

12 favorite player. So good luck, Jerry. I hope

13 you do as good as Jimmy Boeheim did as a coach

14 there.

15 Pave cuts, this company made

16 $219,000 and only $5,000 in fines. It's

17 inexcusable, inexcusable. And they said about

18 the technology and you could track stuff in.

19 These roads are worse now -- I've lived in this

20 city my whole life. The roads have never been

21 worse than they are now.

22 I don't know what kind of technology

23 they're using, but it certainly isn't working.

24 And something's got to be done. I complained

25 about these roads for years. And whether it's
 22

 1 new legislation with more teeth in it or

 2 whatever, but something's got to be done.

 3 These companies have to be held

 4 accountable. It's unacceptable. Next thing,

 5 I'm glad to see the Green Ridge Street Project

 6 is moving along a little bit now. It looks

 7 like they are putting, like, drainage things in

 8 now.

 9 From what I see, it should be done

10 no later than May if they keep working because

11 they're getting a lot of work done. I just

12 hope that they keep it up and don't decide to

13 take another month off like they did in

14 February.

15 Next thing, I forgot to bring this

16 up last week. I ran out of time actually.

17 Last Monday I'm sitting on my couch watching TV

18 and I see a DPW pickup truck pull in front of

19 my house. So I went outside. I asked the

20 gentleman if he was here to look at my curb

21 that the city ruined -- well, not the city, the

22 contractor the city paid to clear the snow.

23 And he said no. Anyway, I told him

24 the story what happened. And he said he'll

25 tell Steve the supervisor. Two days later
 23

 1 Steve shows up at my door. And he's the one

 2 that brought the crew last year to fix the

 3 curb. I showed him what they did.

 4 He said, we'll take care of you,

 5 don't worry about it. I said, well, you know,

 6 you shouldn't be responsible to do it. That

 7 private contractor should there fixing it, not

 8 you. I said, you guys did a great job last

 9 year.

10 He said, don't worry about it.

11 We'll take care of it. So I think Frank knows

12 who I'm talking about, right, Frank, Steve?

13 He's a good man. So he didn't give me a

14 timeline. But I'm sure he'll come through with

15 it.

16 Let's see, oh, okay, last question.

17 I asked this question a few weeks ago. Does

18 anybody know or did anybody find out what

19 happens to the abandoned vehicles that are

20 towed away?

21 MR. SCHUSTER: Did we get an answer

22 on that one?

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did not. I

24 asked that question. We're waiting on a

25 response. I'll follow up.
 24

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you.

 2 MR. SPINDLER: Yeah, I was just

 3 curious because, well, that one -- the one on

 4 2005 Farr Street was towed away finally. I

 5 noticed the other day. Yeah, I was just

 6 curious about that. That's all I have. Thank

 7 you for your time.

 8 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank

 9 you. Next up, Ron Ellman.

10 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council.

11 Last week I'm known to most of you. I stood

12 before you right here and shared my knowledge

13 of the land sales for data centers by a handful

14 of elected Judas, I guess. But why? Why did

15 these guys go against the will of the people?

16 Maybe they got promised some

17 financial enhancement or positions down the

18 road, who knows. But they have greatly abused

19 their position and power and trust to the

20 people of this area.

21 The way the scientific achievements

22 are going, these large massive buildings and

23 equipment will soon just be needless the way

24 they're making -- according to the paper,

25 improvements in the use of the water and
 25

 1 electricity will be bunch of abandoned

 2 buildings that aren't good for nothing.

 3 There's no doors, no driveways or

 4 nothing to them according to a real estate

 5 friend. And I am really disappointed in

 6 Mr. Gaughan and Welby for their anti ICE pro

 7 bleeding heart stance for Biden's army of

 8 illegal, sick, diseased criminal filth over

 9 Americans.

10 It's over Americans, people. I

11 don't care how you put it. And in Saturday's

12 paper, the Justice Department is suing Harvard

13 again for their anti Semitic policies, Paige's

14 home away from home. It seems to me anybody

15 exposed to that trash year after year that some

16 of it rubbed off.

17 Candidate Paige really needs to

18 spend more time and concentrate her promotion

19 of Bidenization and Scrantonization of the

20 state. Every city, town, hamlet, village,

21 everything, whatever, we all need our

22 non-profits and tax exempt bars and restaurants

23 and especially her walkability plan statewise.

24 Real quick, I phoned the newspaper

25 last week to put an ad in. And I don't know
 26

 1 what they cost, but that wasn't the -- I got a

 2 computer. It said leave your name and number.

 3 That afternoon nobody phoned me. I phoned

 4 again, I got the computer. The next day I

 5 forgot.

 6 The next day I think that was

 7 Thursday, I phoned again. I get a computer to

 8 leave a message what I wanted. And that day

 9 nobody phoned me again. Here I'm trying to

10 give them money for an ad. I want to put an ad

11 in to have a wheelchair, my little French

12 bulldog is losing his use of his back legs.

13 What kind of paper is -- how do you

14 run a business when you won't answer a phone

15 call wanting to give you money? That's why I

16 said here time after time and refer to them as

17 a bunch of hacks running down there because

18 they just don't seem to have any interest in --

19 I didn't pay for it for a while, not one person

20 came after me.

21 Finally, Rosie said get the paper

22 again after I don't know, maybe two weeks. As

23 far as I'm concerned Scranton's without a

24 paper. Thank you.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is
 27

 1 Amy Cusick.

 2 MS. CUSICK: Good evening, President

 3 and members of Scranton City Council. First, I

 4 would like to congratulate our newly elected

 5 Council members. Thank you for stepping into

 6 roles of service.

 7 My name is Amy Cusick. I am a

 8 resident of the City of Scranton. And I'm also

 9 the founder and president of a nonprofit

10 Chris's Miracles from Heaven. I'm here tonight

11 not to advocate for a special issue or to

12 request your action, but to simply just

13 reintroduce to you who we are, share what we do

14 in the community, and continue to be -- have

15 that respectful open line of communication

16 moving forward.

17 Like many people in our community,

18 I've seen moments when families, children, and

19 even our first responders were in need of

20 immediate support that wasn't always readily

21 available to them.

22 I remember growing up and the fires

23 that would happen, the Salvation Army used to

24 have their canteen and go around and help the

25 firefighters. We don't have that anymore
 28

 1 locally.

 2 Those moments stayed with me and

 3 nearly three years ago, they led to me to start

 4 Chris's Miracles from Heaven. Our mission is

 5 straightforward but deeply important, to

 6 provide community support when it is needed and

 7 to also to become a strong advocate for our

 8 first responders and our veterans.

 9 Chris's Miracles from Heaven serves

10 Lackawanna County. And our focus is stepping

11 in during real world moments, often quickly and

12 behind the signs when help is needed the most.

13 And in just under two years, I am proud of what

14 we have been able to accomplish through

15 volunteers, donations, and strong community

16 support.

17 One of our most meaningful projects

18 was restoring the abandoned Washburn Street

19 cemetery, which I will remind you that I have

20 found out within the past year we have a fallen

21 police officer and a fallen firefighter also

22 buried at Washburn Street cemetery.

23 What was once an overlooked and

24 horrible looking space is now a place of

25 dignity and respect. That effort was about
 29

 1 more than just one cleanup. It was about

 2 honoring the past, respecting the families, and

 3 restoring pride in our community.

 4 This past year for Christmas was the

 5 most I've ever seen that cemetery decorated for

 6 Christmas. And it just warmed my heart.

 7 Another major focus of our work has been

 8 supporting children and families.

 9 Since our founding, we have helped

10 over 600 children in Lackawanna County during

11 the Christmas season. That was just last

12 Christmas. We ensure that they experience a

13 holiday filled of warmth, generosity and hope

14 that might not have been there if it wasn't for

15 us.

16 I've had families hug me, cry on my

17 shoulders. But now supporting our first

18 responders is also central to our mission as

19 well as our veterans. During local fires and

20 flooding events, we have provided water and

21 essential supplies directly to the first

22 responders in the field, sometimes short

23 notice, but simply help was needed.

24 In addition, following community

25 cleanups and our service projects, we made it a
 30

 1 point to donate any leftover food or snacks,

 2 water, juice, iced tea, whatever it was to our

 3 first responders, the police department and the

 4 firefighters to ensure that nothing goes to

 5 waste and that those serving our city feel

 6 appreciated and supported.

 7 These may seem like small acts, but

 8 they reflect on just who we are, responsive,

 9 community driven, and focused on taking care of

10 the people who take care of us on a daily

11 basis. While these accomplishes matters --

12 while these accomplishes matter, what matters

13 most to us is the human impact behind them.

14 Our work is about showing up,

15 sometimes quietly, sometimes urgently, but

16 always with compassion, respect, and purpose.

17 I recognize the responsibility that City

18 Council carries. You are tasked with balancing

19 budgets, responding to residents, and shaping

20 the future of Scranton.

21 Our intention is not to complicate

22 your work in any way, shape, or form, but

23 rather to be a community partner and a resource

24 when it's appropriate. As we move in 2026 with

25 the new Council, my goal is simply to just
 31

 1 introduce myself early, express respect for the

 2 work that you all do and let you know that

 3 Chris's Miracles from Heaven is active.

 4 We are engaged. And we're committed

 5 to serving Scranton and all of Lackawanna

 6 County. Thank you for your time this evening

 7 and for your service to our city. I look

 8 forward to getting to know you all better and

 9 working together to continue to support the

10 people who call Scranton and Lackawanna County

11 home. Have a great evening. Thank you.

12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'm sorry, Miss

14 Cusick, for those looking to be involved with

15 your organization if anyone is interested, do

16 you just mind explaining how they could get in

17 touch?

18 MS. CUSICK: Yeah, if anybody would

19 like to become involved in our organization, we

20 are on Facebook under Chris's Miracles from

21 Heaven. We update all of our events and, you

22 know, and our cleanups on there. They could

23 also e-mail us at Chris's Miracles from Heaven

24 at gmail dot com or our phone number,

25 570-862-0979.
 32

 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you.

 2 MS. CUSICK: You're welcome. Thank

 3 you.

 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up

 5 is Rik Little.

 6 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik

 7 Little. I've always been a project oriented

 8 person. I've done all kinds of work, being a

 9 foreman, contractors, general contractors,

10 foreman of that or landlord, just so many

11 different things.

12 And these are all, like, project

13 oriented things. You get the people together

14 to do the job, and you got bad people, you get

15 rid of them. But what has happened in

16 Scranton, as I've said before, is there is too

17 many demons, like, satanic demons.

18 And I really noticed it this week

19 talking to United Health Care because each day

20 I spent like 200, 300 minutes talking with

21 their robots and listening to their stupid song

22 and going from one thing to the other because I

23 was just trying to get food and, you know, and

24 their robots and their people say, oh, just

25 call 211 or, you know, or get to your local
 33

 1 government, just call 311.

 2 So this goes way to the top. This

 3 is international. It's communism. It's

 4 globalism. It's been coming down the pike a

 5 long time. And, you know, talking about pave

 6 cuts and everything, you know, I mean, if

 7 everybody in this city would write a letter,

 8 you know, there's a crack in the sidewalk or in

 9 the street, you know, which potentially could

10 kill somebody, you know, then when you go to

11 court, hey, it's documented, you know.

12 That's one way to do it. My idea, I

13 think there needs to be an enforcement. I

14 mean, you see all of these things, you know, we

15 support SPD and all of this stuff. But when I

16 start to try to watch the courts, the sheriffs

17 are, you can't watch the courts, you know.

18 It's just a rigamarole.

19 So there has to be enforcement

20 mechanism. And I think under -- for under like

21 about $185,000, Scranton could buy sort of

22 robocop terminator robot or something like

23 that, you know, and give them bamboo sticks and

24 watch these contractors when they're doing

25 their stuff and beat them when they're not
 34

 1 doing it right, you know, because I go to City

 2 Market.

 3 I see that sidewalk there, you know,

 4 and the snow's on top of it. And then, you

 5 know, when the snow melts, there's a big

 6 pothole right in front. It's the same thing

 7 all over and over, doing the same thing over

 8 and over again.

 9 And we're in that spot in the world

10 now where it's, you know, people are

11 watching -- they think they know what's going

12 on. But, you know, and they're going where did

13 this guy get this information, you know?

14 There's ways to get information,

15 but, you know, not from ABC News or Fox News or

16 anything or the Times-Tribune for sure. There

17 has to be pride in the work of the people of

18 Scranton. And I hear about this Pennoni or

19 something, you know, outside contractors.

20 That's the way it is with

21 everything, you know, people don't take pride.

22 You know, I know this guy that can do the job

23 good. Let him do it. You know, no, we don't

24 have time for that. We need a consulting

25 thing, you know, which costs 25,000 or
 35

 1 $250,000.

 2 I look at the budget. Everything in

 3 the budget is, you know, 2.5 million for this

 4 street, for this street. And then it's a whole

 5 grant process. That's not the way good

 6 government works. I mean, they don't even

 7 teach pave cutting I don't think in any of the

 8 colleges.

 9 They should have a pave cutting

10 course starting at Scranton High School, you

11 know. And they should hire people from

12 Scranton. That will make the tax base, you

13 know, they're talking about a golf course now.

14 It was owned by DeNaples. You know, it's

15 getting too crazy, you know.

16 It would be great if we had invested

17 in an enforcement robot. Once you make that

18 investment, you don't have to worry about

19 wages. You just have the robot go. He watches

20 the pave cutters. They do a crappy job, you

21 know, maybe he gives them a day warning, but

22 then he beats them with bamboo sticks or

23 something, you know? That will make it better.

24 Thank you.

25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone
 36

 1 else like to address Council?

 2 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. I

 3 enjoyed the caucus tonight. But all of us have

 4 suffered from bad repairs, pave cuts, potholes.

 5 Multiple years utilities have come in here and

 6 you've asked them questions, how do you repair

 7 it?

 8 And countless members of the

 9 utilities have sat before this seat and told

10 you when it's done, we come back and we repair

11 it curb to curb.

12 Now, rather than looking at the

13 potholes which are incredibly obvious and

14 difficult not watch when you're driving because

15 there's so many of them and they're so

16 damaging, I'd like you to take a glance at the

17 pave cuts on the road.

18 Those square blocks that are all

19 over the city that none of them are curb to

20 curb, that none of them are repaired as the

21 representatives here say. On my block, I have

22 one that was put in three years ago. It's a

23 good pave patch. But it was never tarred

24 around the edges of it.

25 Eventually the water's going to go
 37

 1 in through the cuts. And there's going to be

 2 issues there. There was a second company that

 3 came in up the block who was doing the sewer

 4 and the fire hydrants just to check them out.

 5 They made two large pave cuts, one on the

 6 right-hand side, one on the left-hand side.

 7 And they made two squares on each

 8 side of the roadway, didn't connect them,

 9 didn't go across. But at least they properly

10 compacted them and properly sealed them. That

11 at least is an improvement over what I've seen.

12 A lot of the places in the city when you go

13 around, you could tell where the utilities are

14 because you're bouncing constantly on all of

15 these pave cuts.

16 You get the little dip that you used

17 to get -- have you ever went on Scranton -- on

18 the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you'd come up the

19 roads in Pittston and you'd be bouncing over.

20 And then when it said the Scranton Turnpike

21 starts here, you'd be on glass smooth highway.

22 We don't have that here.

23 Why don't we have restoration curb

24 to curb when they repeatedly say in here it's

25 curb to curb? I have a dip that's about that
 38

 1 deep (indicating) from where the water main

 2 broke up our block.

 3 They put in. They came in. They

 4 compacted it once. And they're going to come

 5 back and take care of it. And they spray

 6 painted the road around it. But you still have

 7 a dip that's about that deep that they never

 8 come back and put any fill in.

 9 I expect it to happen in April. And

10 I'll talk to you about it as it happens. But

11 there's a point when they don't come back

12 around to take a look to see how much it

13 settled. And all of a sudden it becomes a

14 gigantic dip in the roadway and sharp edges

15 along the edge of it where the road is

16 collapsed.

17 Moving on, of course, we don't have

18 combined data in the city. Anytime you go

19 together and you put reports together, it

20 becomes available through a right to know. One

21 of the biggest defenses that this

22 administration has used for people asking right

23 to knows is we don't collect it and collate it

24 in that manner so we're not required to make it

25 in the format that you desire, therefore, you
 39

 1 don't get the right to know information.

 2 So there's direct intent of the city

 3 not to put information together to make it

 4 collectible and be able to analyze it, because

 5 to do so makes it available for right to know.

 6 And they constantly deny people for that

 7 reason.

 8 7-A, the request for the purchase of

 9 police ]technology, Dr. Rothchild, cameras are

10 on there again. And it specifically says in

11 there public sharing of data that they are

12 looking for data sharing. I've sent you the

13 reports on it and it's a shame that if no one's

14 looked at it that they haven't because it's an

15 issue that the collection of data among private

16 companies to surveil your own citizens isn't

17 being addressed.

18 And last, we have the introduction

19 of 5-D. Why does it need to be fast tracked?

20 There are questions I had on it such as it says

21 16 hours. What about the CDL laws that don't

22 allow that? What about the city's insurance

23 rate to that because if they drive 16 hours and

24 they're negligent, is the city responsibile?

25 How's the insurance going to handle that?
 40

 1 I understand with small trucks

 2 that's different. And we've all worked --

 3 we've all done double shifts. But when we're

 4 talking about CDL giant plows, there needs to

 5 be less than 16 hours as it's mandated to be

 6 less. Thank you.

 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone

 8 else like to address Council? All right.

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

10 MOTIONS.

11 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you

12 have any motions or comments tonight?

13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I

14 just want to start off by addressing the pave

15 cut discussions that we've had tonight. I did

16 appreciate Pennoni coming in this evening as

17 well as the BA for explaining what they're

18 currently doing to address the pave cuts and to

19 better track them.

20 I am glad that since I've been on

21 Council that we have made changes to the pave

22 cut legislation to try to make it better. But,

23 you know, it's become obvious that there is

24 further adjustments needed and even more so

25 that we could really effectively get the
 41

 1 utility companies to fix the cuts.

 2 I know it's been an issue since

 3 we've been on Council. And I feel it as well.

 4 And, you know, I drive around the city all the

 5 time and it's hard to keep track of potholes on

 6 which street or, you know, which ones are pave

 7 cuts or which utility company might have done

 8 it.

 9 I, you know, would encourage people

10 to continue to contact through 311 as well as

11 Council and even during the caucus, we were

12 receiving e-mails from people with complaints

13 about their areas in the city that the roads

14 need to be addressed.

15 So by doing that then hopefully we

16 could get the proper person out to inspect it

17 or get our DPW if it's something that the city

18 has to take care of.

19 I also wanted to bring up there were

20 a few questions that I had asked about the

21 demolition list last week and there was some

22 additional questions that I sent the

23 administration to and I just wanted to provide

24 the responses that I had on that.

25 The first one was what was the
 42

 1 status from the previously provided demolition

 2 list from 2025 which the properties were

 3 demolished and will the remaining properties be

 4 placed on the 2026 list? Twenty-one properties

 5 have been demolished since January 1st of 2025.

 6 Any properties from the 2025 list

 7 that have not yet been demolished will carry

 8 over to the 2026 list. And then they did

 9 include a list of the 21 properties. I won't

10 go through all of those right now.

11 And then I asked if there was a

12 committee responsible for determining if a

13 property meets the standards for a demo and

14 what about to discuss condemned properties

15 because in the past I believe we have had such

16 a committee through the city and city employees

17 on it.

18 And I was informed that the city

19 uses a third party engineering firm Barry Isett

20 and Associates to determine whether a property

21 is appropriate for demolition. They also

22 assess the overall level of safety concerns and

23 determine when an emergency demo is necessary.

24 Properties are condemned by the

25 housing inspectors under the supervision of
 43

 1 either Andrew Sunday or Tom Oleski, the city's

 2 economic development director, code enforcement

 3 director, and code enforcement manager work

 4 with Barry Isett to determine the severity of

 5 the condemned properties and choose the order

 6 in which properties should be demolished.

 7 Demolitions occur in rounds one, two, and three

 8 throughout the year.

 9 And I asked what was the status of

10 condemned properties throughout the city.

11 Properties are added to and removed from the

12 condemnation list on a regular basis. As of

13 today, there are 225 condemned properties in

14 the city.

15 After condemnation, a property owner

16 does have the right to file an appeal with the

17 Housing Appeals Board. And several properties

18 are heard by the board each month. A property

19 must be condemned for at least one full year

20 with no improvements before it is considered

21 for demolition.

22 And then I asked how the properties

23 are being prioritized for demo. They are in

24 the process of determining which properties

25 will be part of Phase 1 for 2026 demolitions.
 44

 1 And they anticipate having the list of Phase 1

 2 properties by May 1st.

 3 And I also asked how much money was

 4 budgeted towards demos for this year, 2026.

 5 And I received that there's $175,000 budgeted

 6 for city funded demolitions. Additionally,

 7 they have the same in match basically $174,986

 8 in the 2026 CDBG demolition funding through

 9 Housing and Urban Development. So those were

10 all the responses I received on there.

11 I felt that would be helpful for the

12 public to know going, especially going into

13 the spring season. And then as demolitions

14 begin or if they are wondering about condemned

15 properties and their statuses. And then I did

16 want to request, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could

17 contact SPD.

18 I brought this up several weeks ago.

19 I've brought it up in the past too. But a

20 citizen had complained about it. So on

21 Harrison Avenue, the vehicles that are being

22 parked on the sidewalk and really blocking the

23 sidewalk and forcing people to walk in the

24 street unsafely along that route as a result.

25 I had asked if they could go there
 45

 1 and, you know, ticket the vehicles, if

 2 appropriate. I was wondering what the status

 3 was on that if there were tickets issued, if

 4 so, how many, if they've returned for

 5 additional inspection and enforcement.

 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get a report,

 7 Dr. Rothchild.

 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I

 9 appreciate it. That's all that I have.

10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

11 Mr. Sean McAndrew, do you have any motions or

12 comments?

13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a

14 few. Another update on the Fidelity inspection

15 report, I probably sound like a broken record

16 with it. But after -- a few days after the

17 meeting I contacted by Attorney Gilbride. And

18 I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong,

19 Attorney Gilbride, you spoke with the legal

20 team for the city.

21 And they said the confidential

22 marking on that document was an oversight. So

23 and now we could show it to anybody we want; is

24 that correct?

25 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's correct.
 46

 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. So,

 2 Mr. Voldenberg, can we have that put on the

 3 website so the residents could see some of the

 4 fixes that need to be with the building for the

 5 next -- it's a nice breakdown I'm telling you,

 6 like, a summary of what needs to be done

 7 immediately in the next two to three years and

 8 then five years and beyond, whether it's roof

 9 repairs, ADA bathroom compliance.

10 It's nice a summary of it. I wish

11 we had more of the actual inspection, but at

12 least we have something and we're able to put

13 that on the website for everybody to see.

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

15 it.

16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thank you.

17 Next, I did ask some questions last week that

18 we received some answers. First was the 320

19 Mulberry Street digital billboard. I asked for

20 a copy of the original permits taken for the

21 original -- the initial billboard installation.

22 The response we got back, the

23 signed -- the signed permit application

24 engineering plans and issued permits from 2008

25 are attached as supplemental documents. The
 47

 1 new matter was resolved by insurance of -- via

 2 permit. The city did not make any monetary

 3 payments to the plaintiff, which is great to

 4 hear.

 5 But we still want to know why there

 6 was a settlement. Last week, two weeks ago Mr.

 7 Gilbride -- or Attorney Gilbride asked. We

 8 didn't get an answer. I asked Attorney

 9 Gilbride again to ask why was -- what was

10 involved with the settlement, why did we

11 settle.

12 And also, the Times reported that it

13 was due to the -- administration not bringing

14 down the HARB ruling within 45 days to the

15 prior Council for voting on it. Mr. Gilbride,

16 did you get any other answer on that or --

17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: The other I

18 received and if you had the opportunity to

19 review the original permits that were issued in

20 2008, those permits granted an illuminated

21 billboard.

22 And that was the reason that the

23 permit was granted because that by virtue of

24 those permits being issued, they were allowed

25 that type of billboard.
 48

 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay, so it had

 2 nothing to do with the 45 days?

 3 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's what I'm

 4 told. And if you look at the permits, you'll

 5 see it does say illuminated billboard.

 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay,

 7 interesting. Next, regarding the same issue, I

 8 did get a copy of the permits. Now, my

 9 question is and, Mr. Voldenberg, if we can set

10 up some time maybe next week or maybe the end

11 of this week with Mr. Oleski and the permit

12 department or the LIPS Department, the

13 documents I received from 2008 were permits

14 that didn't match the documents somebody gave

15 me that they did a right to know request

16 regarding the same issue.

17 So I kind of want to sit down with

18 him and see which document is correct. Is it

19 the permits that I received or is it the

20 permit -- the person who brought this issue to

21 me up who got a right to know. I don't know

22 why there's a difference.

23 But hopefully he could, you know,

24 give us some info and hopefully it's not an

25 oversight. But it's something I could go back
 49

 1 relay to everybody.

 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll schedule a

 3 meeting.

 4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. Thank

 5 you. Next, homeless camps, we did ask the city

 6 are they going to continue removing the camps

 7 around the schools heritage -- and the Heritage

 8 Trail or is this just like a one-time spring

 9 cleanup?

10 The response we got from the city

11 was the police department continuously

12 investigates trespassing incidents in and

13 around the Lackawanna River corridor which

14 includes the Heritage Trail and Scranton High.

15 Now, again, my question is -- I

16 guess the answer is that will be happening all

17 year. But talking to some DPW members, they do

18 cleanups around the Iron Furnaces and around

19 the U. So again, has there any -- any other

20 camps been cleaned up or is it just strictly to

21 the Heritage Trail and the schools because it's

22 not matching up what I'm being told by the

23 workers.

24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them, sir.

25 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thank you. And
 50

 1 then finally, you know, watching Council the

 2 last few years and paying attention, I know

 3 background checks was an issue, you know, are

 4 we, you know, when we're hiring people are

 5 background checks being done, are we putting

 6 them on boards.

 7 So I just want to ask, I guess, for

 8 being a new Council member, when somebody is

 9 getting hired or they're getting put a on board

10 or an authority like the Sewer Authority or the

11 Housing Authority, are they running background

12 checks before they submit -- or hire or they

13 submit people down for us to vote?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. That's

16 all I have. I hope everybody has a great week.

17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Mark

18 McAndrew, any motions or comments?

19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I got a couple.

20 Sorry, so actually during caucus I received an

21 e-mail about potholes. So, you know, and this

22 resident informed me that on Green Ridge Street

23 and Sanderson Avenue, there is very, very large

24 potholes.

25 I don't know if -- to differentiate
 51

 1 between pave cuts or potholes. So I'm assuming

 2 they're potholes. Can you please alert city's

 3 administration, you know, let's get on these

 4 and take care of them?

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.

 6 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Also, from the

 7 same resident, the intersections of Sanderson

 8 and Delaware and Delaware and Dickson, drivers

 9 aren't utilizing the stop signs or they're

10 driving right through them. It's becoming a

11 huge safety issue there. So could you please

12 alert the Scranton Police Department about them

13 intersections?

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr.

15 McAndrew.

16 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Also, a few

17 weeks ago I asked about -- there was a light

18 request right off Main Avenue in Rounds Wood

19 Court. I know I mentioned it before caucus.

20 But I just want to put it out there and see

21 where we're at with that if we got any response

22 or if you could resend it.

23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check that on

24 that also.

25 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right.
 52

 1 That's all I have. Thank you.

 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr.

 3 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments?

 4 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, just a few. Thank

 5 you. So last week I had asked about after Mr.

 6 McAndrew had talked about the homeless

 7 encampments being taken down, was the police or

 8 the DPW giving out services to these

 9 individuals or telling them a place to go to

10 get some services as their homes are being

11 taken from them at that moment.

12 And the response I received was that

13 consistent direction to services is provided by

14 Scranton Police Department and its nonprofit

15 partners that routinely engage with the

16 homeless population.

17 So, Mr. Voldenberg, just to follow

18 up on that, I would just like to know what

19 services are the police department mapping

20 these individuals to? Do they have a list that

21 they say or is it just go to CIC and figure out

22 some services you may need there?

23 Are they mapping them to specific

24 services based on the individual? Is it

25 individualized at all? It's great to hear that
 53

 1 consistent direction of services is happening.

 2 I'd like to get a little deeper in the weeds on

 3 that and see what services exactly the police

 4 department is mapping these individuals to.

 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out to

 6 them.

 7 MR. FLYNN: That's all I have on

 8 questions. And then, you know, I just wanted

 9 to acknowledge the DPW contract, you know, the

10 city and the union have reached that agreement,

11 long overdue. I'm glad to see both sides come

12 together to get this finalized.

13 The men and women of our DPW perform

14 critical work every day, work that happens

15 behind the scenes plays a major role keeping

16 our city functioning day in and day out. So I

17 appreciate the efforts to bring these

18 negotiations to a conclusion.

19 Hopeful this agreement provides the

20 stability and recognition our DPW workforce

21 deserves and just happy to vote tonight on

22 approving this contract and excited for those

23 workers for our DPW union who are finally

24 getting that contract. That's all I have.

25 Thank you.
 54

 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I have a

 2 few comments tonight as well. I was happy that

 3 Pennoni was here for a caucus tonight. I think

 4 it was informative. We heard a lot. I hope

 5 the citizens and individuals in the audience

 6 and at home got a lot of information.

 7 What I gathered from it is we do

 8 have some improvements that need to be made.

 9 Going back as far as 2020 when I met with the

10 DPW Director at the time, some of these were

11 suggestions I had made at that time about

12 strengthening our ordinance.

13 At the time I was told we didn't

14 need to strengthen our ordinance. From then

15 until now, we've had several directors and

16 interim directors and individuals come and go.

17 But I do look forward to seeing the closeout

18 for 2025.

19 We have -- from what we heard

20 tonight, we have over 600 pave cuts that are

21 going to be closed out in the next month or so.

22 So I can't wait to see that work completed and

23 to get that report when it's done.

24 When it comes to Mr. Flynn and Mr.

25 McAndrew just spoke about the homeless, if we
 55

 1 could reach out to the administration and see

 2 do we know if there's a number -- if there's

 3 any kind of tracking that's been done, do we

 4 know of the number of homeless that are in our

 5 city?

 6 I've asked that question several

 7 times through a couple different agencies,

 8 maybe Catholic Social Services has that number.

 9 But I would just like to see if our population

10 is increasing or decreasing or remaining the

11 same.

12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of

13 it.

14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

15 Miss Hodowanitz asked tonight -- I think me and

16 her think very similar on financial issues.

17 The number that you were looking for for 2026,

18 we'll be getting that pretty soon. And it's

19 going to definitely be prior to July.

20 I also have some questions coming up

21 on some of the legislation as well in the same

22 line of questioning that you had. I also am

23 happy to hear DPW has a contract. I'm glad

24 that both sides came together to get that

25 contract completed. It's long overdue as was
 56

 1 stated before, so glad to get that done

 2 tonight.

 3 And then the last thing I'm going to

 4 say is, I've asked a couple of times this year

 5 but I'm going to continue. I want to keep it

 6 on the administration's radar if we could just

 7 ask for the PEL projection again.

 8 I know they said it's coming soon.

 9 But when it comes to our city finances and some

10 of the changing numbers that we're going to see

11 for 2026 to prepare for the budget for 2027 if

12 they could just get that PEL projection over to

13 us as soon as they get it.

14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out for

15 that information.

16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much.

17 The last thing I'm going to say, which I almost

18 forgot, I did get an update on Meadow Brook.

19 So I had asked about again the Meadow Brook

20 Project in Green Ridge, the number of easements

21 that have been secured and if there's

22 additional claims.

23 So at this point in time we got the

24 update that 32 easement agreements have been

25 secured. And there is 12 outstanding. And
 57

 1 they've had no legal claims up to this point in

 2 time. So we're waiting on that additional 12

 3 before that work could begin. I hope to see

 4 those easements secured soon.

16 But my concern is if we don't get

17 these grants, how are we paying for it? What's

18 the backup plan? So, Frank, can you ask

19 administration what their plan is because we

20 all know at the end of this year we might have

21 a new administration.

23 trying to put this budget together. So I would
