SMURL: Are there any comments 24 on any of the Third Order items? 25 MR. SCHUSTER: I think I have one.  5 1 Hang on one second. Item 3-B is regards to 2 Sewer Authority. It's the meeting minutes. 3 Mr. Voldenberg, from my understanding we have 4 about 80 easements that were remaining before 5 the Sewer Authority can officially fold. 6 Could we reach out to Attorney 7 Durkin and get an update as to where we are 8 with those remaining easements? 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: He did give me a 10 recap the other day. And I'll provide you with 11 that information and the rest of Council. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 13 you. Thank you very much. 14 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? If not, 15 received and filed. Do any Council members 16 have any announcements at this time? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a couple of 18 announcements. First, I just want to start by 19 saying that today is Earth Day. And so there 20 are a lot of ways usually to celebrate Earth 21 Day and our environment. And so this Saturday, 22 Lackawanna County is going to be holding their 23 Earth Day event. 24 That will take place at McDade Park. 25 That's from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They'll have a  6 1 pre-event cleanup and evasive species removal 2 earlier than that in the morning from 9 a.m. to 3 11 a.m. And you do have to register. So you 4 could find out some more at the Lackawanna 5 County government website as well on 6 discovernepa.org -- dot com. 7 And there was another event on 8 Saturday that I wanted to mention. It's one 9 that I -- that I typically go to, especially 10 with my -- my daughter. It's the Pine Brook 11 Family Arts Festival. And it happens at John 12 Adams Elementary School. 13 That's going to be this Saturday 14 from noon until four. And there's a lot of 15 different, like, free arts and crafts there. 16 And ice cream and all sorts of fun things for 17 them to be able to do. So that's a really 18 great thing. And whoever wants to go to that 19 can. And that's all that I have. Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 22 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 23 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 25 Scranton. Well, hallelujah, the outside of  7 1 City Hall is once again naked. No more 2 scaffolding and netting. I saw the news story 3 that said, you know, renovations are complete. 4 But when are we getting our stain glass windows 5 back? 6 MR. SMURL: Probably -- 7 MS. HODOWANITZ: Say again? 8 MR. SMURL: Another month or two 9 probably? 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Is that the 11 last thing to happen? 12 MR. SMURL: And the one next door 13 here also in the Governor's room. They're out 14 too. 15 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, so that will 16 be it for the outside. 17 MR. SMURL: For the exter -- yes. 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: And it was with joy 19 that I walked up the front steps, you know, the 20 finally, you know, you could go right to the 21 center door, happy to do that. 22 The last couple weeks you may have 23 noticed have been some very severe rainstorms 24 in Scranton, usually at night. And every 25 morning I go to mass at the Cathedral. And at  8 1 least twice coming to the front of the 2 Cathedral, a lot of water halfway up the 3 sidewalk, okay. 4 I would assume that the problem is 5 that the storm drain is clogged. My question 6 is, is it a DPW responsibility to periodically 7 clean those, especially in the warm weather? 8 MR. SMURL: Well, they used to have 9 a system where they used to do them on a 10 schedule. I don't know if that's done anymore. 11 But, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could put that down 12 if they would go down and check? 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: And I assume it 14 won't be just in front of the Cathedral that 15 there'll be other intersections and places 16 throughout the downtown. They're going to have 17 the same issue. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg was 19 also -- we were working on a list to see which 20 basins were specific city properties and which 21 ones were water company properties as well. We 22 haven't gotten an update on that yet, have we? 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, the water 24 company is still compiling that list for us. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you.  9 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: And also, Joan, I'm 2 sorry, the -- that's been reported that basin. 3 And the water company said they'll be out there 4 within the next two weeks to repair that. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: That's good. 6 That's good. I think one of the problems that 7 we have in the downtown is that you'll see 8 usually in the morning there must be a sale on 9 leaf blowers because they're there with their 10 leaf blowers blowing all the garbage into the 11 street. 12 And where does that garbage go, into 13 the storm drain. So I don't know whether, you 14 know, the Mayor or administration or 15 somebody -- is there an ordinance that you 16 shouldn't do that that that's kind of stupid? 17 You know, I mean, you know, if they're not 18 going to get down there and clean their own 19 storm drains and they shouldn't be throwing the 20 garbage into the street that way. 21 I know that it's convenient. I 22 watch them do it in front of banks and in front 23 of businesses and in front of churches and 24 basically the whole downtown, in front of the 25 mall, you know, I mean, a little common sense  10 1 here. 2 But since I am a pedestrian and 3 have to walk, I would prefer not to have to 4 take a bath every time I go to mass in the 5 morning. I see that DPW, the negotiations are 6 still going on on their union contract? 7 MR. SMURL: They're -- I don't 8 believe there is any scheduled as of today, but 9 they are -- 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. But it's 11 still in progress because Ufberg made another 12 $32,000 last month I'm sure for that. I saw in 13 the paper an interesting story about AI and 14 electric bills that these data centers that 15 all, you know, they've been proposing for 16 various places in Lackawanna County have the 17 capability of raising residential electric 18 utility rates. 19 Has anybody talked about that or 20 considered that, you know, that somebody, you 21 know, you see what's happened with our utility 22 rates for water and gas and everything else. I 23 don't know those zoning boards that control 24 those areas where those centers are being 25 proposed, but somebody ought to be asking that  11 1 question and could it impact like Scranton even 2 though the center isn't actually in Scranton? 3 I'd like to know that. 4 And I too was looking at the meeting 5 minutes of the Sewer Authority from January. 6 Still working on those easements after eight 7 and one and a half years. That's why I asked 8 the question the other week about all these 9 easements that we're trying to get for 10 stormwater and all our other projects in Meadow 11 Brook. 12 The Sewer Authority has got the 13 prize. They ought to be in the Guinness Book 14 of World Records. Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Lenny 16 Srebro. 17 MR. SREBRO: Good evening, Council, 18 Lenny Srebro, Keyser Valley. Since there's so 19 few people here, can I talk for 10 minutes? 20 MR. SMURL: No. 21 MR. SREBRO: No, seriously though, 22 okay, I'm here to talk about the flooding 23 problem that we still have in the 2200 block of 24 Lafayette Street right across from my property 25 right at the corner of Lafayette and Dewey is a  12 1 retention pond that fills up all the time. 2 You know, the city does come up and 3 flush out that 36 inch drainage pipe 4 periodically. It's been about two or three 5 years now and that pipe is filling up. Now, 6 the worst part of it is in that 22 hundred 7 block, one block long there's a ditch -- a 8 pretty deep ditch that's filled with rocks 9 supposedly to carry the stormwater to the 10 retention pond and into that 36 inch pipe. 11 That ditch is so filled with debris 12 and leaves and foliage, you know, that it's not 13 a ditch anymore. So the water or the 14 stormwater -- and we had a pretty nasty storm 15 for a short time last week. The water instead 16 of being carried on down that ditch to the 17 retention pond comes over the road, you know, 18 and onto my property. The property gets 19 flooded. 20 So I'm hoping that DPW can come out 21 and clean out that ditch with that big suction 22 machine they have. 23 MR. SMURL: Lenny, is it the 2200 24 block of Lafayette? 25 MR. SREBRO: Yeah.  13 1 MR. SMURL: Frank, if will you send 2 that down and request? 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll do that in the 4 morning. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Is that the one 7 directly across from your property? It's like 8 an elbow in the road? 9 MR. SREBRO: That's right, right at 10 the corner of Dewey and Lafayette. But that 11 2200 block that's across from my -- where my 12 garage mostly is, you know, that ditch there, 13 it's like level anymore, you know. So it's not 14 carrying the water. 15 I'd really appreciate it if somebody 16 could clean that out. It's like leaves and 17 branches and whatever like that. So that's all 18 I got. Thank you. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman. 20 MR. ELLMAN: That was sort of short 21 and sweet. First, I had an accident April 9th 22 that wasn't my fault. The Dickson City Police 23 phoned Johnson's Towing unfortunately for me. 24 There was -- well, it was a bad traffic jam by 25 where you turn into Wendy's, that area.  14 1 Anyway, I told Johnson to bring it 2 to the Toyota dealer. He took it to his lot 3 anyway. And he kept it for eight days when I 4 kept insisting with phone calls and my 5 insurance company tried to get it away from 6 him. 7 Finally when we got it out of there, 8 someone had stolen everything out of the car 9 that wasn't nailed down under Johnson's watch 10 where I'm going with all of this. Try to do 11 business with honorable people for cryin out 12 loud whatever your endeavors is. 13 And next, I see Kelly has climbed 14 out from under his rock again and pointed his 15 poison pen at Bobby Sheridan comparing Paige's 16 Howard education to Sheridan's GED. Anybody 17 connected to these colleges, some of them are 18 the racist organizations in the country. You 19 wouldn't brag about it. 20 You know, college degrees have come 21 to mean so little compared to so much spent on 22 it. Look at truck drivers getting tremendous 23 salaries. Now, I was talking to one about 24 three weeks ago. He told me with overtime and 25 all of that, he's making about 100,000 a year.  15 1 Look at some of the people in the 2 construction business how much money they 3 charge. You don't need to cry about not having 4 a college education like Kelly wanted to 5 emphasize in, to me, an attempt to belittle 6 Bobby. I've known Bobby since the 70s. 7 I know what he's done and gone 8 through. I think Kelly's deliberate demeaning 9 of him was unneeded, unnecessary. He glorifies 10 all the -- act -- getting out of Act 47. It 11 might have helped people downtown and 12 developers. It hasn't reached me yet, my 13 neighborhood. 14 All of these grants and federal and 15 state grants for pools and so forth, they were 16 for Scranton. Whoever was in office would have 17 got them. And I think -- I think Mr. Kelly 18 completely overlooked. He had a lapse of 19 memory where all the money come from for 20 Paige's first run for the mayorship. He needs 21 to look on his computer. 22 Real quick, why can't something be 23 done with this 34 million dollar buyout 24 property before it becomes a solar farm or 25 windmills or something? It seemed like with  16 1 all of this money spent, the government can 2 make sewers or something out there. 3 I know where it is. I didn't know 4 nobody that had anything to do with it. But 5 it's a shame to let it become another eyesore 6 like the solar farm that sneaked in on people. 7 Thank you. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 9 Lee Morgan. 10 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 11 Lee Morgan. Well, you know, I'd like to share 12 with everyone that tomorrow is the big day for 13 the beginning of this federal litigation in 14 regards to ECTV. Have a discussion with Judge 15 Bloom tomorrow for case management. 16 I just feel sorry for the residents 17 in the City of Scranton because their Council 18 and their Mayor couldn't find a way to work 19 this problem out and had a nice discussion with 20 Attorney Hinton. He doesn't have a case. It's 21 amazing. 22 And he says that ECTV wants to 23 litigate. But in 1996, the Supreme Court ruled 24 that ECTV couldn't do the things it was doing. 25 So now I guess it's up to federal Judge Bloom  17 1 to figure this all out and the legislation that 2 created that channel. 3 But you know the most pathetic thing 4 of all is that the government tried to shut 5 this channel down for the public, the Council, 6 the Mayor, the elected officials, Democrats. 7 And, you know, with the up-and-coming election 8 we have to ask ourselves, do any Democrats or 9 any Republicans have any solutions to any of 10 our problems? 11 Donald Trump's a Democrat. Most of 12 the people that he has around his inner circle 13 are Democrats. They've taken control of the 14 Republican party trying to make change. But 15 that doesn't help the ordinary people that are 16 struggling through all of the malfeasance of 17 elected officials. 18 Now, in this case management, the 19 federal judge is going to have to get involved 20 because he's going to have to make sure that me 21 as Pro se litigator, everybody takes me very 22 serious and does the things I ask them to do 23 because they're obligated as long as I follow 24 the format of law to do it. 25 And then if there's a problem, let  18 1 him figure out how he's going to solve it with 2 his ink pen because I've asked for information 3 before and I had a hard time getting it. And I 4 had a hard time with Licensing and Inspections. 5 But finally they've realized that 6 maybe they should leave me alone, took a little 7 while, had to chastise your Law Department and 8 do a couple other things. But, you know, the 9 sad part is, the people elected to city 10 government, the Council and the Mayor did 11 nothing for me. 12 They created this corruption. It's 13 amazing. I think you should all be ashamed of 14 yourselves to put your name on the ballot and 15 run and want to be an elected official and not 16 represent the people that elected you and allow 17 a city like this to just fall apart like the 18 previous spokes -- person who spoke at the 19 podium talked about all the grant money. 20 Very, very little of it is serving 21 the people. It's all gone to special 22 interests. You all sit there and have not one 23 answer to anybody. The sale of the Sewer 24 Authority, I don't know. It's probably one of 25 the worst moves we've done. The city's pension  19 1 plan, beyond silly. 2 And really, what do we get from the 3 government? Nothing. We sit. We come. 4 People watch these meetings. We've taken the 5 public access channel that would have gave a 6 voice to people for change, an ability to ask 7 questions outside of this form of elected 8 officials and get answers. 9 And the government couldn't handle 10 it. So they had to control it. And, you know, 11 to be honest with you, somebody could have a 12 law firm. It could be 10 stories high. It 13 could have 10,000 people working for it. 14 But all the rulings that exist and 15 all the filings, one person can pick up on a 16 computer or out of a book and file. And the 17 most gifted attorneys are in prison. Think 18 about that. But you know something, the people 19 in this city need a change. 20 And they need to elect independent 21 candidates for Council and Mayor and move away 22 from the two party system because it's not 23 serving them. It's enslaved them. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan. 25 That's it for our sign-in street. Anyone else  20 1 wish to address Council? 2 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council. 3 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Happy Earth Day. 4 Scranton can handle the truth. Tonight I will 5 talk about leachate lines running through 6 Scranton more than one. 7 The Borough of Throop wants nothing 8 to do with 4 million dollars -- I'm sorry, 4 9 million metric tons of radioactive leachate 10 running through their lines on a monthly basis. 11 Keystone Landfill accepts fracking 12 waste that is radioactive. They run through 13 our neighborhoods, along creeks and the 14 Lackawanna River. This is very concerning not 15 only to myself but also to the good people of 16 Scranton. 17 We are receiving -- are we receiving 18 those host fees? When was the last time that 19 testing was done to ensure the safety of every 20 citizen in Scranton? These are very deserving 21 of answers and not crickets. 22 Many of those public sewer lines are 23 very old, including the ones running parallel 24 to Lackawanna River. The attorney who 25 represented Keystone Landfill had a partner who  21 1 made over $800,000 with the sale of the Sewer 2 Authority. 3 Former Director of the Sewer 4 Authority plans to run as an Independent for 5 Mayor. Seriously, can he be trusted? 6 Apparently not. Next week I'll be giving a map 7 to the five of you updated with streets and 8 intersections. 9 These lines are run near schools. I 10 will get those answers but also need your 11 attention in an election year to care about the 12 good people of Scranton as opposed to feeding 13 on your own. I will continue to call a spade a 14 spade and a heart a heart. 15 Tonight there are two debates for 16 Mayor, Republicans and Democrats. I choose to 17 be here to speak to each of you and the good 18 people of Scranton. There was an editorial in 19 the Scranton Times on Sunday as mentioned as 20 running -- I was mentioned as running a 21 spirited but mostly online campaign so far. 22 Thank you for the kind words. I'm 23 in it to win it. Everyone likes an underdog. 24 I have the highest climb against Paige and the 25 machine. I've never given up on myself or the  22 1 city. Last week I spoke about several 2 different ways to generate money without 3 raising taxes. 4 We lost four deep end pools. Our 5 roads are in the worst shape in my lifetime. 6 Crime has become a very serious concern in our 7 city. We need our own eyes on everything 8 including our roads and infrastructure. I will 9 be fully transparent with the good people of 10 Scranton. 11 I will attend as many City Council 12 meetings as possible. We will have a press 13 conference every Wednesday morning. City 14 Council agenda will be given to each of you 15 Monday by 4 p.m., so that those five chairs can 16 make an informed decision instead of being 17 forced to make a quick and possibly costly 18 decision. 19 We had a study approved that 20 targeted Veterans. Every authority board and 21 commission will be televised live with a 22 dedicated page for each along with the members' 23 resumes. That extra set of doors will be 24 removed. 25 At its height, Scranton had 143,000  23 1 people and no problems. Scranton will shine 2 brightly once again. It will be open for 3 business. I operate on a different level. I'm 4 the readiest on day one to lead the good people 5 of Scranton. 6 Party politics and the same circus 7 that created this current climate, having an 8 expansion team does not help. I'm building a 9 winning team that will shatter that ceiling. I 10 care about Scranton and those who live here who 11 deserve so much better. Change is coming. 12 Good evening, Council. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Mancini. 14 Anyone else? 15 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council, 16 Dave Dobrzyn, resident. A lot of people have 17 been complaining about national politics, 18 certainly not me. I'm one of the accused. But 19 every week I hear accusations against people 20 that really don't deserve it. 21 I mean, it might be a difference in 22 philosophy or a difference in policy. But to 23 me, if we can't afford a swimming pool at the 24 park and that's okay. And you better look at 25 where some of the money went to fund  24 1 streetscapes and things like that because 2 that's mainly a realtor's scheme. 3 Now potholes, I think the city 4 should inspect them themselves. And after -- 5 and immediately after and 6 to 12 months later 6 because the asphalt that they are laying down 7 on the grooves where they cut into the asphalt, 8 it just sinks down in on a hot day. And then 9 you have a nice groove for lots of water to get 10 in and destroy the street. 11 Now, with tax exempts, I'm not 12 suggesting that they pay taxes. I'm suggesting 13 that they help to go to the state and get 14 attention to the fact that too many can occupy 15 a city, too many. And also, now I'm going to 16 bring up something national. 17 I don't know if you follow the 18 goings on Wall Street and bonds has been -- 19 there's been a sell off on bonds, US bonds. 20 But I'm wondering how that's going to affect 21 our pension plan. And a year or two ago I 22 brought up cyber currency and investment in 23 that. 24 I'm totally opposed to that. I wish 25 that would find somewhere to go and die, drown  25 1 in the bathtub because it's just a scam. It's 2 great for drug dealers or anybody else. But it 3 certainly has no place in a reasonable economy. 4 And, okay, we have some things here, 5 IRS misses tax due. That's 700 billion 6 dollars annually per year with furloughs 7 possibly, maybe, add another 500 billion more 8 not through deductions of employee taxes but 9 through corporations beating the daylights out 10 of their tax statements. 11 And National Cancer Registry cut -- 12 Mr. Kennedy was in an interview. I seen him 13 and he was surprised that there they were 14 dropping experimentation and research on 15 juvenile diabetes and so forth. So have a good 16 time with the running the health organizations. 17 And here's a good one, finance 18 cyber coin operative and Trump pardoned him for 19 a felon. And they're dumping money into Trump 20 family crypto. And they are also banned from 21 the US from doing business. 22 Here's a good one, sometimes there 23 is justice in the universe. Musk's Tesla down 24 44 percent from January 1st, '25. Why is he 25 still the Chairman of the Board at Tesla? And  26 1 in response, he spent 17 million dollars to try 2 to get his favorite judge Supreme Court -- 3 State Supreme Court judge elected. 4 It just goes on and on. I don't 5 have time for all of this. They dumped six 6 Afghan Christians deported in the last week. 7 And in Millcreek, Utah, they're also picking on 8 people that are actually well liked within the 9 community. So, you know, get ready for the 10 terrorism. They're destroying the FBI and 11 they're destroying the CIA. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 13 MR. DOBRZYN: NSA. Thank you. Have 14 a good night. Learn how to duck, I guess. 15 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 17 MOTIONS. 18 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 19 any motions or comments? 20 MR. KING: Nothing at this time. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 22 Schuster, do you have any motions or comments? 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few. 24 Last week I asked Mr. Voldenberg to reach out 25 to the administration to see if we could get a  27 1 list of our pave cuts. As of this year, again, 2 the city negotiated with the union. And pave 3 cut inspectors are no longer -- they're no 4 longer positions in the city. 5 They moved to a company that's going 6 to inspect our pave cuts. And it's going to be 7 overseen in a new ordinance by code 8 enforcement. So last week I asked if we could 9 get a list from January 1st of this year to 10 current on our pave cuts. Did we get an update 11 on that, Mr. Voldenberg? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did not, sir. 13 I'll follow up. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: I know we have a 15 meeting coming up in May. But it seems like at 16 this point in time code enforcement is taking 17 over compiling this list. Can we just confirm 18 with the administration that code enforcement 19 is now going to compile the list -- 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: -- pave cuts. And 22 then could we ask at this point who in time -- 23 or who at this point in time is the point of 24 contact for that? Who is compiling that? Is 25 that something that's done by one individual?  28 1 Is it done by code enforcement as a whole and 2 then compiled by one individual if we could 3 find out that process. 4 Are they tracking the PA One calls 5 and then checking that -- cross referencing 6 that with city permits? And are we ensuring -- 7 how are we ensuring that within that five day 8 emergency period that all the utility companies 9 are getting their permits from the city. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 11 it. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: And then as I said, 13 we have a caucus it looks like coming up in May 14 with -- on pave cuts. Can we get a copy of 15 that list prior to that caucus so Council has 16 that information at hand when we speak with 17 them? 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll secure that 19 list. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 21 you. It came up last week about the pothole 22 hotline. And I did reach out to get a question 23 about the pothole hotline. The question I 24 think Mr. Coyne asked last week was is it 25 front facing.  29 1 And from what I'm told I haven't had 2 an opportunity to navigate it. But I'm told it 3 is front facing. On the administrative side 4 they could see more than is out on the website. 5 But it goes from blue as the request is in and 6 pending, and then it turns to green when the 7 work is complete on that pothole; is that 8 correct, Mr. Voldenberg? 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Have you been in the 11 system and seen it occurring? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, I haven't. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. All right. 14 Thank you. Other than that, DPW negotiations, 15 it looks like the last time they met was on 16 March 24th. And it doesn't look like there's 17 going to be a meeting in April. They're trying 18 to schedule something going into May at this 19 point in time. And that hasn't been scheduled 20 yet. That's all. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 22 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 23 comments? 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: No motions or 25 comments at this time. Thank you.  30 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Sorry, can I add one 3 more thing? When it comes to pave cuts, I 4 understand how we're working from January 1st 5 of '25 forward, can we also ask about pave cuts 6 prior to January 1st? Do we have those 7 compiled and how are we going to go back on the 8 cuts that have already incurred and ensure that 9 they have been restored to their -- 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Sorry 12 about that. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 14 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 15 MR. MCANDREW: I have a couple. So 16 regarding pave cuts, last week I asked if 17 administration would kindly set up a caucus 18 with the new pave cut company that, you know, 19 was awarded a contract in January to provide us 20 with a synopsis or an update as to the process, 21 how is it working, you know, so all of us know 22 the process. 23 And because again, we still get a 24 lot of complaints about them. So I'm grateful 25 that President Smurl -- the response I got was  31 1 has scheduled a caucus with the administration 2 on May 13. So thanks for that. And I look 3 forward to that. 4 Also, a couple weeks ago we had a 5 resident bring up the Show Mobile. I asked the 6 question as to do nonprofits get it waived -- 7 the fee waived. And I didn't get an answer. 8 All I got was it was booked. So I furthered my 9 question with the help of Mr. Voldenberg and 10 the answer I got was, waivers are available for 11 nonprofit groups. 12 The city has tracked Show Mobile 13 requests since 2022. Since that time we have 14 had -- there have been 62 requests. And also 15 at this time, the Parks Department management 16 is busy preparing for the summer season. If 17 there are specific questions regarding your 18 request, the department can look into it. 19 So I don't have a specific question 20 with the request, the fishing derby because, 21 you know, it was already booked. But the 22 resident who spoke to this said after phone 23 calls and some were returned and some weren't 24 that you have to go online and just fill out a 25 form and everybody pays.  32 1 So, okay, so now in light of hearing 2 that, you know, there's waivers for 3 non-profits, how does that process -- what does 4 that look like? Is there a separate form for 5 that? Is there a way that, you know, outside 6 of going online does this occur? 7 So could you again follow up in 8 addition, you know, with regards to this 9 question how does -- what does that look like 10 and how is it done, if you would, 11 Mr. Voldenberg. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: After the 13 application is filed, you're able to view it in 14 Open Gov online for the various approval 15 stages, which includes the waiver, if needed. 16 MR. MCANDREW: So is the waiver part 17 of that process embedded in that application? 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: It would be part of 19 the entry, yes. 20 MR. MCANDREW: So just for 21 clarification so -- 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll ask 23 that question. 24 MR. MCANDREW: No, if you're 25 familiar with it, you're familiar with it. I'm  33 1 not. So you could request a waiver during 2 that process filling out -- compile -- 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask 4 specifically when the waiver is entered. 5 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. Thank you for 6 that. So I have -- there was an issue last 7 year on a property on 827 North Lincoln. There 8 was some weather related damage. There was 9 some old trees that came down. There was 10 branches affecting neighbors on both sides, you 11 know, quality of life issue. 12 I know that code enforcement -- and 13 I appreciate they went out. The city removed 14 some of that, cut some of it back. And, you 15 know, I understand that, you know, there was an 16 issue and there's an elderly gentleman that 17 lives there. And he's waiting for his 18 homeowners or something. I don't know the 19 details because it's a year ago. 20 I don't remember all of them. But 21 there's a problem that remains there with 22 residents and neighbors on both sides. It's -- 23 it's -- it didn't get any better. I believe 24 this resident was given some extra time to do 25 it.  34 1 But my understanding is some of the 2 debris that was, you know, cut and removed or 3 not removed left some stumps that probably 4 should have been, you know, taken care of or a 5 3 foot stump. 6 And some stuff is still causing 7 quality of life issues with the neighbors on 8 both sides because now rodents are living in 9 these stumps. So -- and I understand. I get 10 it. So, you know, if you could have code 11 enforcement take another look at this because I 12 guess there is some weeds now about 3 feet that 13 maybe were -- you know, they're uncovered now 14 because of the weather that weren't taken care 15 of. 16 And that, you know, I don't know if 17 Animal Control or what level, what rodents 18 they'll take care of. I know dogs and cats and 19 maybe a skunk. But I'm not clear. I didn't 20 get a clear answer to other rodents that are 21 now coming on the properties on both sides and 22 getting under porches and causing damage. So 23 if you could please look into that for them 24 and -- 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll  35 1 follow up and get you a report. 2 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. Also, on 3 the corner of Philo and Diamond Avenue, I've 4 been informed there's a missing stop sign. And 5 it's been missing for a few years. And the 6 reason it's missing is it was run over. And it 7 was never replaced creating a public safety 8 hazard for the people that travel over there. 9 So can we see -- you know, send some 10 correspondence over -- I mean, if there was 11 supposed to be a stop sign there, there should 12 still be one. Maybe it was overlooked. And 13 it's fine. But, you know, now that we're aware 14 let's make them aware so they could replace 15 that stop sign. 16 Also I got another complaint, which 17 is crazy. So, you know, we all know and we see 18 on Facebook, you know, crews are putting up new 19 utility poles. And that's great. I know the 20 issue remains where some are still left there. 21 Mr. Schuster's been bringing that up for years. 22 I mean, they got to go. But this is 23 a separate issue related to that. So the 24 resident said that, you know, he's not sure if 25 this is city wide. But the pole that was  36 1 replaced or the new one put in front of his 2 property, they left -- it's kind of like a 3 disaster there. 4 There's a huge mess there. I have 5 pictures that I'll share with you that they 6 really didn't, you know, sloppy work. And I 7 guess it was subbed out to a company -- what is 8 the name of it -- let me see -- Infrasource. 9 So maybe the utility company sourced 10 it out. But a worker from this company while 11 working in front of this property, you know, 12 opened two doors of his truck and is urinating 13 during working. 14 So, you know, let's make the city 15 aware of this because this is city property. 16 And this is happening in the city. And it's 17 unacceptable. And, you know, let's make them 18 aware of the issue and see what recourse is 19 available to the resident who's dealing with 20 this in front of this house, especially like 21 the debris and the sloppy work if that can, you 22 know, if you could please look into that for 23 our resident. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 25 McAndrew.  37 1 MR. MCANDREW: And I believe 2 that's -- yeah, that's all I have. Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 4 I have do have a few responses from requests 5 last week, but they're not here. So I'll wait 6 until next week. Mr. Voldenberg. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

FOR 25 INTRODUCTION - A RESOLUTION - WAIVING  40 1 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS 2 FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF EAST MOUNTAIN STORMWATER 3 IMPROVEMENTS CONTRACT 1. 4 MR. SMURL: At this time I'll 5 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced 6 into its proper committee. 7 MR. KING: So moved. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 9 MR. SMURL: On the question? 10 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, 11 Mr. Gilbride, I might have you weigh in on 12 this. So the last time we had one of these 13 where we waived the responsible bidder 14 ordinance, there's two ways to do it. 15 The Business Administrator can 16 unilaterally waive that or they could put it in 17 front of Council, correct? 18 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's correct 19 under the ordinance. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: So this year we had 21 six bids. Now, the last time that we waived 22 it, it was for a much -- it was for a much 23 lower bid. This one is here is about 900,000 24 to 1.4 million. 25 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Correct.  41 1 MR. SCHUSTER: I know the last 2 one -- 3 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I have an 4 explanation as to why the waiver is presented 5 on this if you'd like me to go just ahead and 6 explain it. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, that would 8 work. 9 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So when this came 10 before us understanding that this would be a 11 question for all the Council members, I reached 12 out to find out what the reason was for the 13 waiver. In this situation, all of the bidders 14 that bid, none of them met the requirements of 15 the RCO. 16 Specifically in the ordinance it 17 provides that if none of the bids that were 18 placed are not RCO, then you go with the lowest 19 responsible bidder. That's the case with 20 regard to this bidding process. So all of them 21 came in, two did say that they did meet the 22 requirements. 23 However -- and I did look at the -- 24 at their applications -- their bids, I should 25 say. They did not. They did not meet the RCO.  42 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, in the backup 2 information it says two of them may have -- I 3 didn't know if they -- 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, they said 5 it's a -- on the front page they said, yes, we 6 do. But then as you go through the process of 7 looking at the whole application, you see, no, 8 they don't. So because of that, there were no 9 responsible contractors that bid. 10 And, therefore, it goes under our 11 ordinance it provides that in those 12 circumstances we could accept the lowest 13 responsible bidder. That was what was done in 14 this case and that's what was forwarded to 15 Council for your consideration. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. And at this 17 point in time it's at the discretion of the 18 Business Administrator basically. 19 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, I just think, 20 you know, knowing how sensitive these things 21 can be, you know, they know -- they know that 22 Council does not look kindly on waivers. And 23 so when they send -- they're sending so you -- 24 out of transparency. So you could see why 25 they're waiving or wanting to waive. And they  43 1 basically want buy-in by Council. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, I understand 3 that. This one is much larger than that last 4 one that we waived, so I -- 5 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes. But it's also 6 a project -- this would -- in some of the 7 discussions that we had prior when we were 8 doing the RCO legislation, if you recall, with 9 regard to some of the representatives of people 10 who would be bidding, there was certain 11 contracts that they really weren't -- they knew 12 there was not going to be any interest on in 13 regard to responsible contractors bidding on 14 these -- this type of work. This is that type 15 of work. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. I thought 17 maybe this would have fell into that type -- 18 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, that's 19 exactly what it is. It's just not something 20 that interested parties are interested in. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Understood. All 22 right. 23 MR. SMURL: Okay. And I did request 24 that the administration send this and any 25 further ones instead of them just deciding on  44 1 their own, send it to Council so we could keep 2 it public and we could actually go over 3 everything. 4 I prefer to look at them even if 5 they don't qualify for their own responsible 6 contractor ordinance. It's better to keep it 7 open than someone just decide by themselves. 8 Anyone else? All those in favor of 9 introduction signify by saying aye. 10 MR. KING: Aye. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 12 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 13 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 14 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? The ayes 15 have it and so moved opposed. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-F.
