CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM 18 CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ON JUNE 26, 2025, 19 REGARDING UPDATED QUARTERLY PAYROLL PREPARATION 20 TAX COLLECTIONS AS OF JUNE 26, 2025. 21 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments 22 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 23 received and filed. 24 Do any Council members have any 25 announcements at this time?  5 1 MR. KING: Yeah, just a couple. 2 Obviously 4th of July is Friday. That's 3 Scrantastic event going to happen here in 4 Scranton downtown in the Courthouse Square, 5 Philharmonic is going to -- I believe they are 6 starting around 7 p.m. Fireworks should be 7 about 9 p.m. 8 So that should be a really great 9 night to celebrate. There is also an event 10 that's happening up at the Everhart Museum. I 11 believe that starts at 11:00 on Friday the 4th 12 of July. 13 Also, people have been asking about 14 the second half of the recycling schedules. 15 They went out. Or if you haven't received 16 them, I noticed they have some downstairs as 17 you walk into City Hall. Feel free to grab one 18 of those. I think that's all I have, thanks. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 20 Anyone else? 21 MR. SCHUSTER: So one other thing, 22 the Department of Public Works will be closed 23 on July 4th and garbage and recycling will be 24 one day behind due to that July 4th holiday. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you.  6 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I also wanted 2 to mention the Scrantastic Spectacular and the 3 4th of July. I hope everyone has a good 4 holiday celebrating. I just want to remind 5 people to celebrate safely. Please keep in 6 mind the City's ordinances when it comes to 7 fireworks. 8 I know this is a big weekend for 9 them and just want to make sure that people are 10 responsible and safe over the holiday weekend. 11 I also wanted to make note of a 12 couple things that the Scranton Parks and Rec 13 Department has going on over the summer just 14 because there's some things that -- not that 15 I've forgotten, but that I want to keep in mind 16 as well that we had. 17 So they are going to be doing movies 18 at the park. So every couple weeks at 19 different parks throughout the city they are 20 having movies in the evening time for kids. So 21 that's something really fun that they're doing. 22 They also did a cooking class the other month 23 that I heard had gone very well. 24 And I think the next movie is -- 25 looks like on Saturday, July 12th at Connell  7 1 Park. And they all -- looks like they all 2 start at 8:30 p.m., when it starts to get dark 3 out. So you could definitely check out what 4 the Parks and Rec Department has on those. 5 And they also just did an Arts in 6 the Park series. And they are hosting a summer 7 camp too at Weston Fieldhouse. And it's for 8 ages 8 through 12. The cost being $25 per 9 week. And that is going to take place from 10 July 7th to August 1st, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. 11 So I think that's something really 12 great that we're offering and something to give 13 the kids to do, especially in that age group. 14 So you can register if interested in that. 15 That's all I have. Thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. There's an 17 announcement I have. The Lackawanna County 18 Library Disability Action Committee will 19 sponsor an event to solicit input regarding the 20 needs of the people with disabilities, building 21 bridges. The disability town hall will be held 22 on July 31st from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the 23 Lackawanna County Trolley Museum. 24 It's 300 Cliff Street. It will be 25 an open forum for people with disabilities, the  8 1 public to identify barriers that inhibit people 2 from getting into various buildings or where we 3 may need some more curb cuts and stuff like 4 that. 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 6 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 7 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 9 Scranton. As I gave you a copy of this 10 brochure for the historical society, history 11 set in stone, a guide to downtown Scranton 12 Architecture, this is just one example of why 13 we should be very proud of our city. 14 Yes, it has its problems. And I am 15 as guilty as anyone else complaining about 16 various issues. But this little brochure, it's 17 both -- there's an English version and a 18 Spanish version. I got my copy for free up at 19 the Public Library. 20 It's also probably available from 21 the Historical Society itself. It's a little 22 description of all the historical buildings in 23 basically downtown Scranton and some outside of 24 the downtown, like the Tripp House, the Silkman 25 house and other areas.  9 1 This is something we should be very 2 proud of. We should know this history if we, 3 you know, are a Scrantonian. So please read it 4 and share it with your friends. 5 Okay. The legislation hiring Spry 6 and Associates for assessment appeal legal 7 services. I wanted to get a feeling for how 8 much money it might run up. And all you see is 9 $190 per hour for attorney fees and $105 per 10 hour for paralegals, which is fine. 11 And it cites the general fund as the 12 source. But I assume it's going to be an awful 13 lot of Scrantonians submitting appeals. So I 14 hope it doesn't run up too much of a bill. And 15 the other thing on legislation is basically the 16 parking system changes. 17 I'm just a little bit concerned. I 18 read through the backup, especially the 19 PowerPoint presentation. I was here during the 20 caucus when the Community Development 21 Properties of Scranton presented their pitch. 22 And basically they're saying that because of 23 Covid, they are not reaching their revenue 24 goals. 25 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but  10 1 Covid is kind of over, isn't it? And I'm not 2 too sure whether, you know, Covid is basically 3 a good reason for why they are having problems. 4 But there are many things they want to do. 5 They want the city to give them $200,000 a year 6 for the next 10 years. 7 They want to -- well, there's a 8 refinancing of up to 35 million dollars. 9 They're having problems with debt servicing. 10 They want to transfer ownership of all the 11 meters and the parking garages back to the 12 city. 13 Let's see, and they've offered some 14 ways we might get some extra money back like 15 solar panels on the upper floors of the parking 16 garages. And oh, yes, the possibility of a 17 parking tax, parking meters and parking lots. 18 Isn't that delightful, yet another 19 tax, okay. And one of the areas of the little 20 PowerPoint presentation is CDPS is required to 21 annually identify and apply for grants that 22 could also be used for system maintenance. 23 When is the last time they applied for a grant, 24 if ever? 25 MR. SMURL: I don't know if they  11 1 ever did. But the contract now says they will 2 join the city and we will be with them doing 3 the grants. 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, at any rate, 5 I know I'm a little bit cynical about this. 6 But, you know, it sounds to me like we're 7 pulling their nuts out of the fire if you will 8 excuse my French. 9 They're having problems keeping 10 their head above water fiscally. And we're 11 going to be rescuing them. And I agree, you 12 know, you need to have a sound and operational 13 parking system in the city. But I don't think 14 they are carrying their own weight. 15 It sounds like Rubicon 2 dot 0 once 16 more, just my opinion. I would like to hear 17 your opinions and a little information in Fifth 18 Order, especially about you think we need a 19 parking tax among other taxes? 20 MR. SMURL: That's just for private 21 lots downtown that are using them. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: And the meters -- 23 and the meters according to the PowerPoint 24 presentation, both the meters and parking lots. 25 MR. SMURL: They will be here next  12 1 week for caucus. 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: I hope everybody 3 comes and reads the backup. Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Norma 5 Jeffries. 6 MS. JEFFRIES: Norma Jeffries, city 7 resident in Scranton. And I wanted to start 8 tonight -- I wasn't here last week; but I 9 wanted to start tonight to thank everyone for 10 the Flower Show and the attendance of everyone 11 that came. 12 And I always say the Scranton 13 residents, I want to thank them. But it's 14 throughout the valley, throughout Lackawanna 15 County that people come to the Flower Show. 16 And I'm a lady of prayer. And I prayed like 17 crazy that we would not have rain that day. 18 And lo and behold we did not have rain. 19 It rained the next day. But it did 20 not rain on us that day. So, you know, I just 21 thank the lord for the beautiful day that we 22 had, the beautiful attendance by all. We do 23 have some issues that we have to work on. And 24 most of them is dealing with how do we get food 25 trucks in there.  13 1 We contract with the people to come 2 but they don't show up for some reason or 3 other. So that's always an issue is because 4 people want to eat when they're outside, you 5 know, and we don't have a lot of that. But 6 we're working on that. We do try to keep a 7 list of anything that we could improve on for 8 the next year and that's what we'll do. 9 We're working on the date for 2026. 10 And as soon as I get the date, you know, I'll 11 be sharing with everyone so you could put it on 12 your calendars for 2026. The next thing I want 13 to talk about is the trash pickup. I'm a 14 single person. I don't have a lot of trash. 15 But the night of Thursday night, 16 Juneteenth, that would have been my normal 17 pickup day on Thursday. I had my one little 18 trash can out. And it was a windy storm came 19 up that night, if you recall. 20 And that morning by Friday, my trash 21 can had been blown over. They did not take the 22 trash. They did not take my trash. The lid 23 was on. It wasn't like the trash was all over 24 the street. It was still -- the lid was on. 25 It's just that my trash can had been blown  14 1 over. 2 I called the city, the DPW, no 3 return. I called again -- all I want is what 4 is the process when this happens? What do the 5 residents of Scranton do when their trash is 6 not picked up? I was going away and I call it 7 my dirty trash. 8 I leave my dirty trash in my freezer 9 until the night before and I put it out because 10 I don't want it to smell. I don't want the 11 animals to get in. I live right by Nay Aug 12 Park. So we have a lot of animals. So I put 13 my dirty trash in for it to be picked up. 14 So I couldn't let it sit until the 15 following week. So I'm calling around trying 16 to see who has a trash pickup the following day 17 or something so I could take my trash, which is 18 only one bag and have it -- take it to someone 19 else's. 20 So my request is, what is the 21 process for DPW to pick up a trash when they've 22 skipped? Also, as I walk in the park, the 23 trash pickup, you know, what is the schedule 24 for the trash pickup at the park? 25 On Sunday, you know, we had the  15 1 concert on Sunday and there had been some 2 activity over in the show pavilion over there. 3 And the trash was overflowing on Sunday. So I 4 guess they went from Saturday there must have 5 been a party or something. 6 The trash wasn't picked up. And 7 then on Sunday, it was in plastic black bags. 8 But still, you know, they're just very 9 fortunate that the animals don't come and tear 10 it apart because they tear mine apart. That's 11 why I don't put my trash really out until late. 12 But I'd just like to know, there 13 must be a process. There must be a schedule or 14 something that could help us residents of 15 Scranton to know and how the trash is picked 16 up. 17 Number one, if they miss and you 18 call, should I expect a call back or is someone 19 going to tell me take your trash to X, Y, Z 20 point or something? 21 Like I said, I was going to be out 22 of town and I didn't want it to sit out there. 23 That's all I have to say about the trash. Now, 24 when I came in and saw -- when I came back from 25 vacation and I was reading the old mail and saw  16 1 that they were working on the parking 2 situation, the parking is very important to me. 3 I come downtown a lot. And I have 4 the senior pass for the bus for the Colts, but 5 I don't want that. I want to come and go as I 6 please. So the fact that you're going to be, 7 possibility of raising the fairs on what we pay 8 at the meters and the hours are going to be 9 extended to 7:00, which means that when we come 10 to Council here which is 6:00, 6:30, we're 11 going to still have to pay at the meters 12 because I think if I read correctly, it was 13 going to be until 7:00 that the rates were 14 going to be in place. 15 So, you know, that as a senior 16 citizen on a fixed income, each penny that I 17 have to put out, you know, goes against me 18 having to do something else that I can't do if 19 I want to come to town. So those are the 20 things that are on my mind tonight that I'm 21 sharing. 22 And I'm hoping that maybe DPW can 23 get to me. I mean, it's been over a week now 24 and no one had the common courtesy to call me 25 or send me a text message or something to say,  17 1 too bad, lady, your trash wasn't picked up; and 2 it wasn't that it was thrown all over the 3 place. That's all I have. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. 5 Norma, they normally -- the last I heard when 6 you don't get your trash picked up if you 7 called, they would respond. But I don't know 8 what's going on down there. 9 MS. JEFFRIES: Nobody responded. 10 Nobody called or anything. Okay, thank you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Angela 12 Ramone. 13 MS. RAMONE: It's good to see you 14 all again this week. I have a few different 15 things that I'd like to speak about. So I'll 16 try to be brief. First off, I would like to 17 congratulate the City of Scranton for their 18 defense against the lawsuit over their flying 19 of the Pride Flag. 20 I think it's a great thing whenever 21 the city stands up and protects our queer 22 community against hate and attacks, especially 23 when it comes to pointless litigation like 24 that. So I do want to thank the city for their 25 actions on that front.  18 1 But I would also like to say that 2 there is still more work to be done. I didn't 3 get to speak about it because of time 4 restrictions these past two weeks. But as you 5 all know, there were the No Kings rallies that 6 happened in our area a few weeks ago. 7 And here in Scranton as -- as the 8 protest was wrapping up, there was a woman who 9 was violently assaulted by a Trump supporter 10 who had shown up and started throwing 11 belligerent slurs at people in the crowd. And 12 thankfully there were bystanders who had 13 intervened. 14 However, by that time, the women in 15 question had already been, like, punched in the 16 face, a very small lady being assaulted about 17 this big grown man. And thankfully again, 18 community member stepped in. The police did 19 arrest him. 20 But instances like that under our 21 laws currently are not able to be clearly -- 22 clearly recognized in our court as hate crimes 23 in our city, despite the fact that the offender 24 in question was hurling hateful slurs at his 25 victim prior to and during his assault.  19 1 In addition, during some antiwar 2 protests that were happening again downtown 3 last week, there was a man who had shown up 4 spewing anti Semitic or and Islamophobic slurs 5 at attendees. 6 And he said out loud to the crowd 7 that he was actually on his way to a Synagogue 8 because he had intended to go there to, like, 9 seriously injure or kill the attendees as well 10 as the Rabbi because he believed that it was 11 his mission to go out and purge the world of 12 evil Jews. 13 And thankfully again, there were 14 members of the community who were at that 15 protest who intervened when he had started 16 attempting to assault people where they were 17 able to restrain him despite sustaining serious 18 injuries themselves, one of whom in attendance 19 today. 20 And he did get arrested. But the 21 charges that he initially had were disorderly 22 conduct and public intoxication, nothing to do 23 with the violent assault and battery that he 24 had committed, nothing to do with the violent 25 threats that he committed and no recognition of  20 1 the hateful rhetoric that proceeded all of 2 his -- all of the crimes that he had committed. 3 Thankfully there were members of our 4 community who had reached out to our DA to ask 5 about getting this man charged appropriately. 6 But by that time, he had been out on -- 7 released out on bail. So he was speaking about 8 wanting to freely assault Jews in our community 9 and Muslims in our community. 10 And yet he was allowed to roam free 11 without any pretrial detention. I would hope 12 that the city takes a look at our laws 13 regarding pretrial detention and hate crimes to 14 make sure that we have clear guidance on how 15 our police and how our District Attorney is 16 supposed -- how they're supposed to move 17 forward when encountering cases like this. 18 So that is what I would like to 19 touch on. There's one other thing regarding 20 multiple ordinances about parking in the city. 21 I will keep this brief. I do believe wholly 22 that entering into an agreement to sell our 23 parking to a private company was a mistake when 24 we did it. 25 And it remained a mistake every  21 1 single year that we did not end that deal and 2 take back ownership of our public streets. 3 When we allow a private company to own the 4 parking on our streets, we essentially sell the 5 entirety of the street to them. 6 We don't have the freedom and 7 flexibility as a city to make sure that our 8 communities, that our roads, our streets are 9 capable of meeting the demands that are 10 necessary of our community. 11 So, for example, if a better use of 12 our land than parking might be to allow for 13 bussing to be put in our city, under the 14 contract -- under our current contract, we 15 couldn't do that because we'd have to pay 16 insane amounts of money to the parking company 17 because we would be eating up their spaces as 18 well as many other different ways we could 19 design our roads. 20 So I will say I am in support of 21 taking back ownership of our public streets. 22 Thank you very much and have a good night. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Reilly 24 Richards. 25 MR. RICHARDS: Hello. My name is  22 1 Reilly Richards and I'm a resident of Scranton. 2 I am a member of Northeast Pennsylvania's 3 Democratic Socialists of America as well NEPA 4 for Palestine. 5 We had organized an antiwar rally to 6 take place at the Courthouse Square. We had 7 marshals including myself who were there to 8 keep everybody safe. The individual in 9 question that the previous speaker had 10 mentioned had showed up denying the -- the 11 holocaust, denying that the Jewish community 12 had gone through the evils that they have gone 13 through. 14 He said that he was there on a dream 15 that he had the night before and was on his way 16 to Hillside to go seek out a Rabbi to 17 interrogate them on if they were to his 18 standard of what he considered a good Jew or 19 not. 20 This person kept getting 21 increasingly more irate as we tried to get him 22 to leave. And as everything went down, this 23 person actually left the protest and then went 24 and spoke with law enforcement and then 25 returned to the protest, tried to intervene  23 1 with an interview that was being done by WNEP 2 and an attendee of the protest, was rejected, 3 left and returned a second time. And this time 4 he was starting to get vulgar. 5 He had threatened to light all of us 6 up and insinuated that he was carrying a 7 firearm. When he was searched after the 8 arrest, of course, there was no firearm found. 9 However, he had led all of us to believe that 10 he was. 11 During the last moments of him being 12 aggressive and being asked to leave, he 13 physically pushed through me first to get to 14 the Rabbi and his group that were there with us 15 standing in solidarity with us during the 16 protest. 17 He physically pushed me to try and 18 reach the Rabbi directly behind me. And this 19 is the moment when we intervened and physically 20 restrained the person. And my focus at the 21 time was to make sure that he could not reach 22 for the firearm he had led us to believe he was 23 having. 24 It took all of, I don't know, maybe 25 two or three minutes before law enforcement  24 1 actually intervened. So I would like to echo 2 what the previous speaker had mentioned and 3 seek a pathway to -- prosecuting these 4 attempted hate crimes and the hate crimes that 5 are followed through. 6 We also would like for the Mayor to 7 release a statement that that decries all acts 8 of hatred in the City of Scranton against any 9 marginalized member of any community, 10 regardless of their race, regardless of their 11 religion, regardless of their nationality. 12 We are all residents of this great 13 city. And we want to make sure that it is safe 14 for all people here. I would like to wrap up 15 my time on that. Thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman. 17 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 18 I just have a couple things that bother me 19 here. One of them was I think you people are 20 picking up roses and overlooking an orchid 21 about Steamtown. 22 This would be such an interesting 23 attraction if it was promoted more by the city. 24 I never see nothing about it, you know, to 25 amount to anything. And, Mr. Smurl, allow me  25 1 just one little comment on your rerun. 2 Of course, this is my opinion. But 3 I don't think you know your enemies from your 4 friends. You think about that. That's the 5 reason you're up there rerunning again was red 6 coats. 7 You know about my enemies, I guess, 8 up to 2016 the SPA was sucking this city dry. 9 And then Council had two choices, an evil one 10 and almost worse evil one. No matter which 11 way, it's still evil. 12 It seems despite what the leftest 13 newspaper hacks have to say about it being a 14 disastrous Council induced default, it 15 eventually turned out for the best. Now, you 16 guys are considering absolute nonsense with the 17 SPA. 18 They signed a contract. You want to 19 make it null and void to save them because of 20 Covid. Think of all the people -- think of the 21 thousands of people in this very city that lost 22 homes and cars and furniture. They signed 23 contracts. 24 You know, and here you people have a 25 feeling -- this administration seems to have a  26 1 feeling for SPA. It's a disgust. Let them 2 suffer like the results of the contract would 3 be, spending 2 million dollars of tax money 4 taking back those four dilapidated garages and 5 repairing them and maintaining them and giving 6 them all the profit, what are you guys 7 thinking? 8 You are supposed to be up there 9 representing us, not the deadbeats all over the 10 city. You know, pretty soon I'm going to use 11 some of my own money to further my ambition 12 about the seat up there because the hacks at 13 the newspaper -- I don't expect nothing from 14 them. 15 I can't rely on Mr. Cordaro because 16 the biggest tax cheat in town is one of his 17 sponsors. So here I am. I got almost all of 18 my signatures -- well, I got half of my 19 signatures. I talked to -- I talk to hundreds 20 of people. 21 I don't know how you get them to 22 vote. It seems like people just don't seem to 23 care no more about the city. There's something 24 wrong that I can't put my hands on. This is 25 such a good city and I love it. I've told you  27 1 I live here by choice. 2 Real quick, a friend of mine offered 3 me a tremendous job in Memphis if I wanted to 4 go back. And I said, no, I'd like to stay up 5 here. But while I'm thinking of it, before you 6 spend all of your money on grants for 7 restaurants and fingernail salons, start doing 8 something for Steamtown. Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 10 Les Spindler. 11 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 12 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 13 homeowner. Well, I have to speak one more time 14 about the child that was brought here last week 15 and how disgusted I was that nothing was done. 16 Mr. Smurl you let the person get 17 away with an unruly child. It was 18 disrespectful, disruptive and you never should 19 have let it happen. I said every time he 20 yelled, you smiled and Councilwoman Rothchild 21 smiled. Did you think it was cute? 22 This is a City Council meeting. 23 It's not a daycare center. Leave the child 24 home. If you can't get a babysitter, stay 25 home. I've been coming to these meetings for  28 1 many, many years. And in the past nothing like 2 that would have been acceptable. It's 3 ridiculous. 4 I mean, you have one foot out the 5 door. You should just leave now and let 6 somebody run the meetings who knows how to do 7 it, not let the people be here disrespected 8 coming and looking out for our city. 9 Next thing, Councilman King -- and 10 Mr. McAndrew is not here. Last week you said 11 about your daughters went to the Scranton 12 School District. And that's all well and good. 13 MR. SMURL: Mr. Spindler, address 14 the Chair. You're not going to ask questions 15 to each individual Council person. 16 MR. SPINDLER: All right. Well, two 17 Council people last week spoke about the 18 Scranton School District, how great it was. My 19 daughters also went to the school district. 20 But if it's so great, why would when Eugene 21 DePasquale was Auditor General, why did he send 22 somebody from the state here to oversee the 23 school district because things weren't being 24 run right. That's all I have to say about 25 that. If it's such a great school district,  29 1 why did he have to do that? 2 Next thing, my favorite subject, 3 pave cuts. I'm told we don't have a pave 4 inspector. But it's a private company that's 5 doing the job. Well, they're not doing their 6 job obviously. There's pave cuts all over the 7 city. I'm here every single week talking about 8 it and nothing is being done. 9 This Council should be on that 10 company's backs making sure the pave cuts are 11 taken care of. There's one on my block is 12 getting worse by the week. If you can't -- 13 you can't go around it because cars are usually 14 parked there. 15 You have to stop and then go through 16 it. It's unsafe and it's ridiculous. You 17 people work for us. And you are not doing a 18 darn thing. If I was up there I would be after 19 that company every single day saying why aren't 20 you doing your job? 21 Lastly, the storms we had last 22 Thursday, I went outside, took video of the 23 river running in front of my house on my 24 sidewalks. I have been promised for years and 25 years and years it's going to be fixed.  30 1 First, it was the day shift DPW 2 inspector came up, painted lines about almost 3 three years ago, oh, we're going to fix your 4 corner, lie number one. 5 Then I'm told the engineer came up 6 and said, oh, it's the way the road is pitched. 7 It doesn't matter the how the road is pitched. 8 If I had a curb on the corner, the water's not 9 going to get on my sidewalk. I don't care how 10 the road is pitched. Put a darn curb on my 11 corner. That was another lie. 12 Lie number three, a year or two ago 13 they said Rebecca -- North Rebecca was on the 14 paving list. And they were going to fix my 15 corner when it was paved. Another lie, the 16 road was never paved. 17 Lastly, I'm told you were one person 18 who said it, Mr. Smurl, you and Mr. Schuster, 19 that I was put under some other project. When 20 is that project going to be? Where is it? 21 When is this going to get taken care of? I'm 22 sick of rain coming on my property not being 23 able to walk down the front steps. 24 It's ridiculous. I'm sick of the 25 lies. This city is disgusting. The Mayor and  31 1 DPW should get together. I'm giving the city 2 an ultimatum. If somebody from DPW isn't up 3 there by this Thursday, I'm going to take it 4 upon myself to put a curb in, whether they like 5 it or not what I do. I don't give a damn 6 because I've had it. 7 The city doesn't do a damn thing. I 8 have been promised after promise after promise. 9 And they are nothing but lies. So I'm just 10 going to go up and get some concrete and make 11 some kind of curb there. If they don't like 12 the way it looks, let them come up and do a 13 better job because I've had it. 14 And, Mayor, DPW, you have until 15 Thursday. The clock is ticking, tick-tock. 16 Tick-tock. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Dawn 18 Hoeffner. 19 MS. HOEFFNER: Before I begin, I do 20 have some pictures I'd like you to see as to 21 what I'm speaking of. Is that okay? 22 Good evening. My name is Dawn 23 Hoeffner. I'm a city resident, taxpayer, and I 24 am here to express my concern and 25 disappointment regarding the ongoing failure of  32 1 the City of Scranton to enforce its own 2 ordinances. 3 As a resident and taxpayer, I 4 believe it is both my right and responsibility 5 to speak out where city government is not 6 fulfilling its basic duties. For the past 7 several months, our neighborhood has been under 8 attack, particularly my family. 9 Our neighbor has been cited numerous 10 times for outside placement of indoor 11 furniture, animal waste and feces and 12 accumulating rubbish and garbage as well as 13 ownership of a multitude of Cane Corsos which 14 would be the Italian Mastiff. 15 What once was a beautifully kept 16 home valued at over $300,000 has deteriorated 17 to a condemnable status accompanied by a 18 mortgage foreclosure. 19 In reference to the city citation, 20 R3693179-0 for placing indoor furniture, this 21 rodent filled sectional couch has been in the 22 yard since September 25th, 2024. This 23 furniture is not only an eyesore but rodents 24 are now entering our home and property. 25 As this furniture is sitting on my  33 1 property line, it can appear to passersby that 2 it belongs to my family. In reference to the 3 city citation R369178-6, animal waste and 4 feces, there are piles of waste and feces on 5 the deck and house of this nuisance property, 6 declared nuisance on June 10th by Judge Powell. 7 Pet waste is raw sewage. It could 8 transmit bacteria, viruses and other pathogens 9 to humans and other animals including tapeworm, 10 roundworm, E. Coli, Giardia, salmonella and 11 much more. 12 Now, I wish to address the number of 13 Cane Corsos at this residence. As many of you 14 should be aware, this has been on the local 15 news, social media and has been presented to 16 magisterial and Common Pleas courts. 17 What started off as two males and 18 three females, has grown to more 20-plus dogs. 19 Two of the largest Cane Corsos weighing over 20 150 pounds each have jumped over the deck and 21 landed in our fenced in yard. 22 Just to make you aware, a Cane Corso 23 has a 700 pound bite force and could take down 24 a bear. Currently there are 11 Cane Corsos 25 weighing between 70 and 150 pounds. There are  34 1 several puppies remaining of the current three 2 litters that that were birthed this last 3 spring. 4 We've extended an invitation to the 5 city officials to experience what we are 6 exposed to a daily basis while we try to enjoy 7 our well-maintained property, but no one 8 accepted. We are grateful to Mike Gowarty, 9 Jenny Cali, Katie Gallon, Tom Schuster, 10 Elizabeth Hagus, and Attorney Mariclare Hayes 11 for their due diligence in existing and 12 bringing this situation to the public's 13 attention. 14 We rely on our ordinances, not only 15 to maintain order and safety but also to 16 preserve the quality of life in our community. 17 When these laws go unenforced, the results are 18 felt in increase nuisances, a breakdown in 19 community standards and a growing sense that 20 the rules no longer matter. 21 This failure sends the wrong message 22 that accountability is optional and that the 23 concerns of residents can be ignored. I urge 24 this Council to explain why these ordinances 25 have not been enforced and to take immediate  35 1 steps to remedy the situation. 2 Enforcement should not be optional 3 or selected. We deserve a local government 4 that is consistent, responsive, and committed 5 to upholding the very standards it has set. 6 The address of the property is 421 Campbell 7 Street. 8 And if anybody wants to reach out 9 and wants more specificity on the pictures, it 10 was family to family purchased, my 2426 11 Pittston Avenue home and the 421 on Campbell 12 Street, so we shared a gate. There was no 13 problem. I'm there 23 years. The family prior 14 was there 30 years. 15 Now it becomes a problem because the 16 150 pound dogs are jumping over the deck. Even 17 if, oh, put up a fence; okay, I could only have 18 6 foot. A privacy fence does not stop the 19 smell, the stench coming from the property. 20 And they -- if they could jump over 8 feet they 21 could still jump over a fence. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: We will have at the end 23 of the meeting, we'll hold our questions until 24 then. We'll give them -- in the office and to 25 find out and get some answers for us.  36 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: All right. 2 MR. SMURL: Virgil Argenta. 3 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 4 Virgil Argenta, Scranton. This Council has a 5 self-proclaimed fiscal watchdog. It is 6 reported that another construction firm which 7 was a low bidder on the Capouse Avenue Splash 8 Pad Project will be suing the city in the 9 coming days, increasing the total number of 10 lawsuits related to this project to two. 11 For some reason this administration 12 is determined to award this bid to the higher 13 bidding construction firm for the third time. 14 Why? This is the third time this project had 15 been rebid. And one had previously involved 16 court proceedings. To date, this project has 17 cost city taxpayers over $300,000 without 18 providing any results. 19 This wasted money could have been 20 used for other city projects. The watchdog's 21 title should be changed to lapdog. Council, 22 would you please provide the number of lawsuits 23 filed against the City of Scranton during this 24 current administration along with the total 25 amount of funds disbursed to plaintiffs who  37 1 have won victories and verdicts against the 2 City of Scranton? 3 The taxpayers should be privy to 4 this information. Council members, it's fair 5 to assume that most of you are intelligent and 6 respectful who understand the importance of 7 honoring the wishes of those who passed away. 8 When someone leaves property with 9 specific intentions, one would hope that their 10 wishes are upheld, correct? Are you familiar 11 with the name Mary Rubin? In 1943 Mary Rubin 12 donated a piece of property to the city with 13 specific deed instructions specifying that it 14 be used solely as a playground. 15 For many years and through numerous 16 administration, this property remained unused. 17 It's disappointing that no one on City Council 18 defended Mary Rubin's wishes. When the city 19 government contested these restrictions in 20 court, the city deemed the location unsuitable 21 for a park, yet decided that placing a salt 22 shed in the same neighborhood was a better 23 idea. 24 The situation highlights a disregard 25 for the intentions of benefactors in favor of  38 1 governmental decisions. Are board meetings now 2 being held in the lobby of City Hall being that 3 the doors are locked? Are you aware of the 4 board meeting that was held in the City Hall 5 lobby? That needs to be addressed. That is 6 embarrassing. 7 Mr. King, Parking Authority leases 8 as you said about Rubicon, they're made to be 9 broken. We all know business people that 10 leases are made to be broken. We should break 11 the Scranton Parking Authority lease and take 12 back the Scranton Parking Authority. And when 13 does the safety of the dogs come into play? 14 I was at the 400 of Campbell. I saw 15 the conditions of those poor dogs. There is no 16 reason that Council can't do some type of 17 ordinance and protect the animals. We don't 18 care what the people do that live there, but we 19 need to protect the animals. Thank you, 20 Council. 21 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Argenta. 22 Rik Little. 23 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, Rik 24 Little. I'm still running for Mayor. I've 25 clearly found out what the problem is locally.  39 1 It's Satan. It's demons. Satan overall, but 2 demons getting into people, everybody including 3 me filling my head with wrong ideas, wrong way 4 to make things better. 5 The thing about Satan is that they 6 always give themself away. They always predict 7 what they're going to do just like -- just like 8 that Maverick 2020 -- Top Gun movie Maverick, 9 which perfectly describes what happened in 10 Iran, the bombing of Iran. 11 It's been that way in the movies all 12 of my life. I remember when I was a little 13 kid, my first Stanley Kubrick movie which was 14 Spartacus. I was like eight, seven or eight 15 asleep in the back of the car and I woke up 16 during this, you know, weird scene where 17 everybody -- everybody was nailed to telephone 18 poles all going down the street. 19 That's an image that always stuck 20 with me, like, you know, they didn't have 21 telephones then, you know, what are these 22 people -- what's going on, you know, with Tony 23 Curtis and stuff. But the thing about -- the 24 thing that's the biggest waste is they do the 25 same thing over and over and over again.  40 1 And, you know, it's mind-boggling, 2 you know, talking about the, you know, homeless 3 problem and, you know, the closing down the 4 Keystone Mission, you know, but they already 5 gave a big grant to the Keystone Mission. And 6 the paper conflates it with Luzerne County's 7 mission. 8 And there's no beds there. There's 9 nothing for the homeless here. And it's a 10 thing that has been going on a long time. And 11 I have been trying to figure it out. I went 12 over to the Washington West and I look at the 13 plaque, you know, and I see Mayor Walsh who was 14 Mayor 1966 to '70. 15 And so I go online and I'm trying 16 to, you know, it has the names of everybody on 17 the Scranton Housing Authority Board on there. 18 And a lot of the names rang through and, you 19 know, I could see them and the judgeships and, 20 you know, the people who get the contracts. 21 And but demon thing is very much in 22 the justice system. You know, I have been 23 talking about 302 fraud where, you know, they 24 know that Medicaid pays it. They just have to 25 point to a guy and say, hey, you're a danger to  41 1 yourself and others even before they've had 2 their due process. And they know that their 3 security guard up at Geisinger or the nurse can 4 just do that. 5 And it will be reported in the paper 6 and people will read about it and think about 7 how horrible the homeless are and how bad all 8 the crime is. And it doesn't make sense 9 because it's -- it's not real. It's not real. 10 There's more than enough housing. 11 There's more than enough, you know, people that 12 should have housing. Basically the housing 13 problem, they're talking about -- they have 14 this thing called act -- act blue when it goes, 15 you know, subfreezing weather. 16 That's when we're going to start 17 thinking about getting beds for the homeless. 18 But the fact of the matter is, Scranton Housing 19 Authority was that solution. It was that 20 solution many, many years ago. That's what it 21 was. You could -- it was housing for the 22 elderly. 23 Now it's housing for the Democrat 24 elite pawns. The people who work for Catholic 25 Services, they keep a lot of old people in  42 1 there because they're brainwashed into their 2 Democrat voting. They have their Democrat 3 voting inspectors and judges in there. And 4 that's how the same thing happens year after 5 year after year in this area. And there's no 6 reason for it. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little. 8 That's all for the sign-in sheet. Anyone else 9 wish to address Council? Come up. Would you 10 just state your name and address for the 11 record? 12 MR. DUFFY: Hello. Michael Duffy. 13 Can I bring these up or -- 14 MR. SMURL: Yes. 15 MR. DUFFY: I'm a lifelong citizen 16 of Scranton. I live at 2301 Birney Avenue. 17 This is what I got to live with every day. 18 I've called the 311 line at least 25 times this 19 year, never get called back. You call the 20 Mayor's office, never get a call back. 21 I went to the County Commissioner. 22 He's trying to help me out. This is a disease 23 infested property. I would like something 24 done. This is the first time I've ever been 25 here. But I spent all day Sunday cleaning all  43 1 the junk that was hanging over the fence from 2 that property. 3 The address is there. It's been on 4 the judicial list of the last three years 5 running. I sign up to buy the property off the 6 county and it gets cancelled the day before 7 every time. So can we get something done? 8 It's loaded with woodchucks, skunks, 9 frogs. Frogs keep you awake all night. I'm at 10 wit's end. The little blue garage there, 11 that's my garage. There's a tree growing 12 through it from his property through my roof. 13 I go knock on his door. I want to cut the tree 14 down, he doesn't answer his door. So I don't 15 know where to go. 16 MR. KING: Mr. Duffy, is this land 17 on the -- 18 MR. DUFFY: I can't -- I can't 19 hear -- 20 MR. KING: Is this land on the land 21 bank or is there a private owner? 22 MR. DUFFY: It's a nonpayment of 23 taxes, I believe. It's a judicial sale. 24 MR. KING: Judicial sale, okay. 25 Thank you.  44 1 MR. DUFFY: Right? Am I right? So 2 can -- I won't take any more of your time. I'm 3 just here venting that the city is not doing 4 anything. They don't even recall -- recall me 5 back. I spoke to a Don King three weeks ago. 6 He was sending someone from zoning over and he 7 would call me back the next day and still 8 waiting. 9 MR. SMURL: All right. We will find 10 out. Mr. Voldenberg, if you will find out what 11 information they have and also the zoning 12 officer, what information they have on this, 13 look into what's going on and how long it's 14 been going on. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up. 16 MR. KING: Perhaps Attorney Gilbride 17 could speak to one of the solicitors from the 18 city and see if they've been involved with 19 this. We could try to -- I mean, why does it 20 continue to be canceled every time that there's 21 supposed to be a sheriff sale? Thank you. 22 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. Not 23 sure where to start. Maybe we could get a 24 board game designed for Scranton based on a 25 theme of Shoots and Ladders, Scranton's  45 1 potholes and pit traps. The pothole at Phinney 2 Street surprisingly enough is still untouched 3 as if I didn't expect it for being reported for 4 well over half a year and addressed by the 5 Council. 6 Who is authorizing DPW payroll if 7 there's no director? I may be incorrect, but I 8 believe the code states that once your time 9 expires as an acting director and you're not 10 appointed, you can't be tossed back in as 11 acting director. It's a one shot deal. 12 And Cipriani was already the acting 13 director. Onto parking, so we're back for the 14 third time at the pockets of the people. We 15 sold the stake of the city parking and we're 16 looking at leasing until 2070, well after my 17 death. What a ridiculous number. 18 Part of this was Scranton bailout of 19 a bond with a company who speculated on making 20 profit from the income. They came back after 21 Covid and we moved to help them and extended 22 the contract. We gave them free money from the 23 Recovery Act to fix the garages and elevators 24 while we dodge potholes. 25 Now they're back again because the  46 1 due diligence from investors failed and they 2 want to change the cards in play to modify the 3 rules. Tell me why if they made a bet and lost 4 we as a population of the city should pay for 5 their bad bet? 6 They make it sound as if the bad 7 deal with collapse without changes, but they're 8 a multi-city corporation and one small snapshot 9 does not address their business's overall 10 health. 11 What bothers me now is a city that I 12 avoid coming to unless I have to, I will now 13 have to avoid weekends as well, pay for 14 Saturdays and not visit a city that is closed 15 on Sundays anyway. 16 So much for holiday events as 17 everyone will be impacted by the late meters. 18 That includes first Friday, all the city 19 festivals like St. Patrick's Day. To avoid 20 parking you'll have to come to Center City 21 events after 7 p.m. and avoid Saturdays. So 22 much for your grand courthouse views. 23 Let's talk about the political 24 impact. We'll no longer be able to attend city 25 meetings for the boards without paying for  47 1 parking, Ethics, City Council, Zoning, Planning 2 Commission. All of those meetings start 3 between 6 and 7 and now will require citizens 4 to pay to participate. 5 Years ago I suggested solar panels 6 on the roof of the parking garages back when 7 Bill Gaughan was Council President. A nice 8 idea that I put forth that it could operate and 9 enjoy the electricity and even sell some of it 10 back to the grid. 11 But we should not be paying for it 12 as the improvement will eventually be the 13 city's as they say it gets turned by a 14 little -- turned back over to us, but find me 15 one solar panel that has a manufacturer 16 warranty of lifetime of over 45 years. I bet 17 you're not going to find one. 18 And why is the health and welfare 19 department floating a bond for a nonprofit? 20 Who is floating -- I mean, they're floating a 21 bond as a nonprofit so they could use a tax 22 loophole for the profit parking not to have to 23 pay taxes. 24 And I think for the health and 25 welfare, important things like the Keystone  48 1 homeless and -- the Keystone homeless are more 2 important to pay attention to. As a side note, 3 why is Luzerne County auditing Keystone 4 including Recovery Act funds and Scranton is 5 not? 6 Back on the subject. There is too 7 much in this bill as it contained multiple 8 changes that should be split into separate 9 bills as five minutes is hardly enough time 10 address the changes. We're going to hand over 11 $200,000 a year for capital improvements. 12 Maybe the city should have input on 13 what it's paying for as the capital improvement 14 may not benefit us in the long run. And why 15 is the SPA fund suddenly being divested from 16 the city's pocket into their business? We 17 collected that for the city. 18 It shouldn't be handed over to a for 19 profit just a giveaway. In 5-K it mentions 20 assuming all liability for the garages. What 21 are those obligations and liabilities? Is 22 there any actions or lawsuits in the court 23 system at present that we by accepting the 24 transfer liability would expose the city to? 25 And section two looks like the City  49 1 Council is stripping itself of its oversight. 2 This is the third time and I think we should 3 really look closer to get it right. Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? 5 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Dave 6 Dobrzyn, resident, taxpayer, taxes paid. You 7 know, I keep hearing our current Mayor being 8 blamed for everything for the last 25 or 30 9 years here. I'm tired of it. And what did we 10 get? 11 We had a new mayor when we disagreed 12 with Mr. Doherty. And by the way, this parking 13 garage business started with him because he 14 would not empty out the Parking Authority of 15 incompetent and uncaring people and along with 16 the Chamber of Commerce wanting all of these 17 parking garages built that there was no 18 business for. 19 You know, we have potholes and we 20 have -- what else do we have? Everybody from a 21 certain section of town was piled up there at 22 Keyser Avenue center donating all kinds of 23 money. And then five or six years we start 24 hearing, oh, the FBI is in town. 25 You know, give me a break. And then  50 1 we had a guy that mainly had real estate 2 interest in mind more than really serving for a 3 little time as Mayor. And by the way, what I 4 was trying to get across last week was I 5 brought in pictures of -- pictures of pepper 6 spray as home defense, nonlethal. 7 And right away he's asking me if I 8 had a gun. Well, he happened to be a 9 Republican. You sold 20 million ARs and AKs 10 all over the country. And your president in 11 the early 00s relegalized it. And you're 12 worried about me. I'm 71 years old and I never 13 served in prison for an act of violence. 14 And if I did get violent, somebody 15 got what they deserved because they were 16 putting me to the wall. Now, I heard also 17 heard about voter fraud. Well, we had three in 18 the area at the last presidential election and 19 it may have been the one before. 20 One guy got a year's probation and 21 two people got nothing. And you know what I 22 think, I think all of these accusations of 23 voter fraud are in the fraud. It's probably a 24 PA felony and nobody gets punished even when 25 they get caught.  51 1 Recycling, larger numbers on the 2 bottles and you might have to go to state and 3 national representatives. But you can't even 4 see whether it's something is recycled. But I 5 do recycle. But, you know, it's really 6 difficult to determine. 7 And with those parking garages, that 8 was with the Evans Council, that was a game of 9 chicken between the Mayor and the Council. So 10 it was ill-advised of not paying the bill by 11 them. Their accountant, she looked like a -- 12 like a high school reunion accounting whatever, 13 high school dance, you know, high school 14 government. 15 And by the way, the big beautiful 16 bill was passed today. And Mexico is going to 17 pay for it. Get ready, 120 rural hospitals 18 have closed previously. Three hundred will 19 probably close -- rural hospitals. Insurance 20 premiums will increase for everyone. 21 Hospitals in Scranton are already in 22 trouble. And we got Snap assistance monies 23 being taken out of that, 7.25 an hour. And by 24 the way, Mr. Kennedy -- and you don't have to 25 defend me, anybody from the audience, about if  52 1 I get admonished by what I say. I'll assume 2 responsibility for what I say. 3 If I said what I really think, I 4 would probably get arrested about Mr. Kennedy. 5 But the point in being, he fired 17 6 vaccinations specialists last week. And he 7 hired seven vaccination deniers. Gee, you 8 know, keep me away from your kids. I can't 9 afford to be any sicker than what I am. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Dobrzyn. 11 Anyone else? 12 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie 13 Schumacher. I want to start off with telling 14 you guys if you have not been up to Nay Aug 15 lately, you missed something really good. 16 They -- I don't know when it started. So I 17 only know that it was a four day food -- Jewish 18 food. And I was up there on Sunday. 19 And, oh, my gosh, it was out of -- 20 I had a fantastic brisket sandwich. And you 21 might want to check and see if it's still 22 available tomorrow. I don't know if tomorrow 23 is the fourth day or -- 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Tomorrow's the last 25 day.  53 1 MS. SCHUMACHER: Is it? Okay, thank 2 you. And I want to tell you -- report to you, 3 I should say, is that wonderful -- I don't even 4 know what it is -- across at Serrenti I believe 5 is the alley. And when you come down Spruce 6 Street and you have to stop again and go really 7 slow because otherwise you're going to kill 8 your car. 9 And I don't know why it can't -- 10 something can't be done. I mean, is it 11 necessary that that is there for -- open for 12 months? I don't understand that. But I wish 13 you would find out why that is needed. I would 14 like to hear that next week. 15 And the other thing I would like to 16 hear but I don't think I ever will, something 17 that Tom asked -- made a comment about a little 18 bit of time ago is when you -- one of you or 19 more of you are going to have an ordinance on 20 our program? 21 You have the right to do that. And 22 I've -- it's been decades and I've never seen 23 one. So maybe you could get your heads 24 together and come up with something that the 25 administration hasn't come up with and bring it  54 1 here. 2 And now I have a -- I have a 3 problem. One of the avenues that I live on has 4 at one end it says no traffic -- before you go 5 onto this. It says no trucks except local 6 deliveries. And then at the other end of that 7 it's really -- it's like -- I think it's like 8 five blocks long. It says nothing. So, I 9 mean, what is -- who does that? 10 MR. SMURL: Marie, is it the one no 11 trucks, the one coming from 307 onto the side 12 street? 13 MS. SCHUMACHER: I'm sorry, I didn't 14 get it. 15 MR. SMURL: Where the sign is, is 16 the sign on 307 going into the side street? 17 MS. SCHUMACHER: Yes. 18 MR. SMURL: That's why. Did you see 19 the dip there? Do you know how many trucks get 20 stuck there? 21 MS. SCHUMACHER: Yeah, well, I don't 22 know, but the other end, it just seems as 23 though it should be the same on both ends when 24 you are getting onto a road. But if you're 25 satisfied with it, I guess I will have to be  55 1 satisfied with it too. Okay. Well, thank you. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 3 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton 4 City Council, Mike Mancini. Tonight let's play 5 spades. I see things for what they are. As an 6 independent thinker, I a call heart a heart and 7 a spade a spade. 8 Council President Smurl, please 9 enlighten us in Fifth Order as to why you 10 really need a law firm from Philadelphia to 11 help you with your campaign. My understanding 12 is your so-called campaign had very 13 questionable issues regarding signatures on 14 more than one petition. 15 I hope with your arrogance that you 16 do file the new petitions as an Independent to 17 run for Council. As an example, someone said 18 like Attorney Paul Walker would have a field 19 day in the park regarding your questionable 20 intentions. 21 I personally had 267 signatures that 22 I witnessed personally. I took the time to 23 speak with everyone at length. We have many 24 problems in our city that need to be addressed. 25 You are not the answer. Good luck with your  56 1 project. 2 Councilman Smurl -- I'm sorry, 3 Schuster, your turn. Let's talk about the only 4 crime watch program in our city which you took 5 leadership role as president that dissolved the 6 crime watch program because of lies that you 7 knew were not true about me. 8 The night in question we had a 9 meeting at the FOP Lodge on Railroad and 10 Luzerne Streets. While at the light with a 11 motor vehicle from the dealership that sold me 12 a horrible experience of an SUV, I accidentally 13 tapped a vehicle from behind. 14 She was going to the same meeting. 15 I had coffee all over my sweatpants. And from 16 the very minor tap which cost approximately 17 $750 for my insurance to resolve. Those 18 meetings of the crime watch in general were 19 very important to me and still are because of 20 our current climate hearing several gunshots on 21 January 11th, 2023 at 4:42 in the morning that 22 almost fatally injured one of our greatest 23 officers, Detective Kyle Gilmartin. 24 Keeping our police officers safe in 25 the current opioid crisis, continued prayers to  57 1 Kyle Gilmartin and those who have lost loved 2 ones because of this crisis. 3 Thank you to our police department. 4 I feel so guilty because at one point I'm going 5 to get justice hopefully September 12th. 6 Others do not have that in our city. The true 7 stories that were made up which you knew were 8 not true was that I hit the vehicle -- what you 9 said was the female had whiplash and left the 10 scene. 11 There were many at that meeting and 12 knew what happened, knew what I endured 13 personally, yet you spread lies. Be forewarned 14 that Tom Coyne v. the City of Scranton, you'll 15 be served in that very same chair you sit in at 16 a day and time of my so choosing. 17 Spreading lies about someone's 18 character who means well, gets you in front of 19 a judge. Dr. Rothchild, some time ago you 20 turned a two-syllable word into a four-syllable 21 word, something I will never say. To each 22 their own. Who am I to judge? I embrace 23 diversity in our city. 24 I look at those who have kind hearts 25 and carry themselves well. Yet, you have yet  58 1 to apologize to me for your attempt at 2 targeting. You took a hateful depiction of me 3 as a means to single me out when you fight for 4 those who get singled out. You were successful 5 at targeting me personally. 6 Mr. King who knew my mother very 7 well knows I was not raised like that. He also 8 knows that I would not hit a vehicle and just 9 leave the scene. Mr. King knows me well enough 10 that -- knows that my strength comes from my 11 mother. 12 Both, you, Mr. Schuster and Dr. 13 Rothchild, have insulted me and my mother's 14 upbringing. And to that, very disrespectful to 15 say the least. Mr. King, although we have had 16 our differences of opinion, you have been very 17 respectful towards me. I'm proud to call you a 18 friend. I wish you the best in your future. 19 Mr. McAndrew is not here tonight, 20 truly cares about our city. He keeps asking 21 tough questions and we need more like him on a 22 daily basis. I call a spade a spade this 23 evening. To the good people of Scranton who 24 actually hold the cards, there's hearts in the 25 deck.  59 1 This is not about red or blue. It's 2 about you. Get out and vote. You could make a 3 difference because what I see and witnessed, 4 paying attention to our city's needs and 5 desires, this is s very important election. 6 Rely on character and not on untrustworthy 7 individuals who didn't mean well. 8 Since the three of you want a 9 character shot, take a look at yourselves in 10 the mirror. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Your time is 12 finished. 13 MR. MANCINI: Good luck with your 14 project -- 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 16 That's it. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 18 MOTIONS. 19 MR. SMURL: Do any Council 20 members -- Mr. King, do you have any motions or 21 comments? 22 MR. KING: Just I think it was 23 mentioned earlier if we could get back I don't 24 know who we're going to talk about that 25 situation with the dogs back on -- I guess it's  60 1 Pittston and Campbell, but there is multiple 2 situations going on there as pointed out. 3 Those animals, I counted in the one picture, 4 there was at least ten huge dogs. 5 That's not fair to the animals. And 6 it's certainly not fair to the neighbors. I 7 know the Hoeffners very well. And the 8 situation that they've been placed in is not 9 acceptable. Something needs to be done. 10 So if we could contact -- I don't 11 know if it's the LIPS Department or if it's 12 somebody from even the Mayor's office to see 13 what can be done to ameliorate that situation 14 for them. 15 Nobody should have to put up with 16 that. And furthermore, you know, perhaps those 17 animals need to be removed from the property 18 and placed somewhere where they will be taken 19 care of properly. So I would appreciate if you 20 could jump on that. 21 Mr. Coyne mentioned that pothole 22 that has been existing for six months. If we 23 could have DPW address that situation, I'd 24 greatly appreciate it. The other thing is, can 25 we ask DPW also to look at the outlook on 307?  61 1 It hasn't been brought up a whole lot recently. 2 But the stones have been missing up 3 there. If we could have a look at -- even if 4 we have to hire a contractor to come in and 5 mason to come back -- a stone mason to place 6 those stones back where they belong. 7 I mean, that was built by the WBA 8 many, many years ago. So I'd love to see if 9 DPW could get involved in addressing that 10 situation. That's all I have. Thank you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 12 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 13 comments? 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few. 15 The situation at 421 Campbell as Mr. King said, 16 it is a disgusting situation. I was at their 17 residence on two occasions. I saw the dogs 18 myself. I also do know that, you know, they 19 did go in front of Judge Powell on the 10th. 20 It was determined that it was a 21 nuisance property. And they do have a hearing 22 coming up on the 15th. I'd like to see things 23 moving faster than they are. And I hope on the 24 15th, you know, what was established on the 25 10th is, you know, determined to be, I don't  62 1 know, Mr. Gilbride, what would be the word? 2 They determined on the 10th that it 3 was a nuisance property. They determined that 4 it was in violation of city zoning. They -- I 5 think Judge Powell also determined that the 6 dogs need to be removed from the property. But 7 at this point in time it's in an appeal period. 8 So they're waiting for the 15th. At 9 that point in time it's past the appeal period 10 for that owner. But I hope the decision that 11 Powell made stands. And I believe it will. 12 For the Hoeffners, I hope the situation clears 13 up as soon as it can. 14 It's a health situation for the dogs 15 and humans -- the humans living in that home 16 and it's a safety situation for any of the 17 neighbors that may be nearby if those dogs get 18 out of the property. 19 Switching subjects, my hats go off 20 to the officers involved in apprehending the 21 individual with the stolen vehicle. I know 22 several officers were involved with that. So 23 great job and good work. Over the last few 24 days and few weeks, we've had many storms. 25 I've had many calls about stormwater and  63 1 several different areas in the city. 2 I would also like to thank the DPW 3 for quick responses in those recent storms. 4 They've addressed many residents' concerns and 5 got to speak with many residents that have 6 issues and active issues that the department 7 workers can see with the active rain that we've 8 been having. 9 I did have a chance to get to the 10 ribbon cutting for Weston Field pool. D and S 11 Construction did a nice job. Everyone seemed 12 to be having a great time at the pool that day 13 in this hot weather and I'm glad to see that 14 those upgrades occurred in the Weston Field 15 area. 16 I know some of the suggestions that 17 residents made, not all of them got to be 18 incorporated into the full project. But I do 19 know that the neighborhood is very happy about 20 those upgrades that occurred there. That's 21 all, Mr. Smurl. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 23 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 24 comments? 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, thank you.  64 1 First, I also wanted to just make brief comment 2 on the situation on Campbell Street which Miss 3 Hoeffner spoke to this evening. And I'm sorry 4 that she's had to deal with that. It is not 5 only a disgusting situation, but really 6 terrible to see dogs being treated that way and 7 not being well taken care of. 8 So I'm glad to see that it's moving 9 along through -- through the courts and that it 10 was considered a nuisance property by -- it 11 sounds like there needs to be more action than 12 just the dogs being removed alone because of 13 like she said, the feces and the stench from 14 that property, the couch that had been out 15 there that I think she said since 2024 that 16 looks like it's on her property. 17 So I want to make sure that code 18 enforcement is taking care of all of those 19 concerns in addition to the animal situation. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr. 21 Rothchild. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And one 23 of the speakers had mentioned the Jewish Food 24 Fest, which I was able to go to on Sunday and I 25 meant to bring up during announcements too. I  65 1 love going to that every year and they expanded 2 their menu this year too so there is even more 3 items on it. And the chicken -- the schnitzel 4 was really great this year. So if anyone else 5 has a chance to stop by, tomorrow is their last 6 day that they'll be going until 7:00. That's 7 at Nay Aug Park. 8 And one of the other things that we 9 had gotten the opportunity to do on Sunday, 10 there was a lot going on at the park with the 11 butterfly -- the Butterfly Park. We did visit 12 that at Nay Aug. And my kids had a chance to 13 play on the equipment. And it was really great 14 to see us having that kind of equipment there, 15 more accessible equipment for children who 16 might need that. 17 And I've received a few responses 18 from the administration, one of them Councilman 19 King had brought up about the Lookout on 307. 20 So I had asked about that the other week. And 21 the response we received was that the Parks 22 Department is currently working with our 23 engineers to determine what repairs are needed. 24 So I thought that was already 25 happening. I don't really feel like it's much  66 1 of an update from where we're at. So I would 2 like to have some more come in and a timeline 3 to see when that's going to be taken care. 4 So if we could ask them again about 5 the Lookout and when they will have a plan 6 together, if there's a timeline to that. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr. 8 Rothchild. I'll follow up for you and 9 Mr. King. 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Excellent. Thank 11 you. And then there's a property that I've 12 been asking about for a couple years now, 429 13 Prescott Avenue that had a fire. And the 14 response we've received on that, the update was 15 that the property had a RFC bond in place. The 16 bond expired. And there's no Act 90 money in 17 place. 18 But a demo letter was scheduled to 19 go out and went out on June 23rd. So I'm glad 20 to hear that a demo letter went out. It seems 21 like that property will hopefully get moved to 22 the demo list and taken care of soon. 23 And on the curb cut that we've been 24 asking about for Colfax and Olive, the response 25 I received on that was that Reilly has  67 1 completed the design and the project will be 2 scheduled. So, I guess, I'm waiting the 3 scheduled date on that hopefully sometime this 4 season and not next year. 5 So I also had asked about the 6 possibility of code reds from the city. And 7 there was a speaker last week who brought up 8 code reds that Lackawanna County was holding 9 and I didn't have much information on that. So 10 I had asked -- requested that information, 11 still waiting on receiving more on that. 12 But I was told that the city will 13 look into these issues. And there's an 14 unsheltered tax force meeting coming up at the 15 end of July. And I'll be present at that and 16 bringing up the concern about code reds too 17 even though I know that will be mostly through 18 the summer. 19 But I'm hoping to see whatever we 20 can -- we could do with regards to that. And 21 with the storms that have been happening lately 22 and the bad one we had last Thursday in 23 particular, I want to thank DPW for all of 24 their efforts and what they do during the 25 storms as well as our first responders.  68 1 That was -- it seemed like a 2 particularly bad one and a lot of streets that 3 were flooded and destroyed from that. And I 4 had received a complaint about Glenn Street 5 which is in Pine Brook over near Groove 6 Brewing. And there's a property on Glenn 7 Street. It's 614. And I believe it's the 8 only -- the only house on that street. 9 There are businesses there too but 10 that had flood pretty bad. And the only sewage 11 drain that's there is just in front of that 12 house. But there's no other ones on the 13 street. And this resident regularly cleans out 14 the drain that's in front of his property. And 15 it was clean he said before -- before the 16 storm. 17 But the street still flooded and he 18 feels like that is because they could use 19 another one somewhere on the street to help 20 with draining all the water. So if DPW is able 21 to look into that, that's 614 Glenn Street 22 where I received that complaint. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll notify them. 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And then 25 I noticed there are wooden barricades along  69 1 Pine Street. So I know that DPW has already -- 2 has already been there. And that was part of 3 the cleanup from last Thursday's storm as well 4 as East Gibson Street over near the hospitals 5 near Moses Taylor and Regional Hospital those, 6 like, that few block radius was pretty badly 7 affected with the pavement. 8 So there was a lot of blacktop that 9 came up and that was just throughout the 10 street. I know because I was also a person 11 that also had to drive through that. And so a 12 lot of it was cleaned up. But there's still a 13 lot that needs to be done to rectify the 14 pavement. 15 So I wanted to check to see when 16 that will be performed and if that's on the 17 list for DPW to return to and do some paving or 18 how they're going to go about that. 19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll follow up. 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: Great. Thank you. 21 And that's all I have. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 23 Rothchild. The parking garages, next week at 24 5:45 we're going to have a caucus here. I know 25 there's a lot of questions on it. I have a lot  70 1 of information on it also. There's a few 2 things that we do own the meters right now. 3 And we will in the future own the actual 4 garages. But as far as the bonds go, we are 5 not going to be liable for one cent of the 6 bond. That is not -- we are not refinancing 7 anything. 8 We're not signing anything for that. 9 Also, the Parking Authority itself is going to 10 be dissolved. Since it has no authority with 11 the parking company that is running this now, 12 we're going to dissolve that. And that money 13 that is in that account is going to repairs at 14 the parking garages themselves. 15 But next week at 5:45 in caucus we 16 will discuss all of that. And they will all be 17 here. So if you have any questions or 18 anything, maybe write them up and give them to 19 Mr. Voldenberg and then perhaps Council could 20 ask them while they are here because you seem 21 to have a lot of questions. 22 But if you get them to us, we could 23 try to ask them if they could answer them. 24 Also, the next blighted property review 25 committee is scheduled for the meeting on  71 1 Monday, July 28th. I don't know the time yet, 2 but we will get that time in about a week 3 you'll know? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: We will. 5 MR. SMURL: Okay, so probably next 6 week we'll know. And the last thing is the 7 finance meeting. As of the end of May, all 8 departments were on track. The overtime and 9 everything is still handled. And the only 10 thing I saw was out of line was our health 11 insurance was -- the prescription part of it, 12 it really went way way up. 13 So they're looking into that now. 14 But that is -- that is it about that. And the 15 amount of interest we've made on taxpayer 16 dollars as of the end of May, $299,683.11. 17 That's it, Mr. Voldenberg. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Can I make one more 19 request, Mr. Smurl? 20 MR. SMURL: Yes. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: I know I did it by 22 e-mail, Mr. Voldenberg, but I requested the -- 23 so next week we do have the Parking Authority 24 coming -- Grow America come in to discuss the 25 parking situation. But then the following week  72 1 we have the SRA Director. And I know I did it 2 by e-mail, but can we get a list of properties 3 that are owned by the SRA prior to that 4 meeting? 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: She confirmed that 6 she'll have that list for the meeting. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Can we see if 8 we could get it a little bit beforehand so we 9 can just -- 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask her 11 beforehand. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 13 Also, the blighted property review, can we get 14 them to come in at some point in time for 15 caucus so we could get a review of those 16 properties as well? 17 MR. SMURL: Yes, as we get closer to 18 that meeting. This will be the first. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 20 you. 21 MR. SMURL: Okay. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

SCHUSTER: On the question, one 12 thing I had in regard to this is, I didn't know 13 if the company had reached out and received 14 input from any of the downtown businesses that 15 they were going to be extending their hours and 16 also including those Saturdays. 17 So that is this something I think we 18 should consider as these businesses had also 19 been affected by Covid as Grow America is 20 saying as well. 21 And then with that being said, will 22 the employees for parking enforcement also now 23 be working later than they are currently? 24 MR. KING: On the question, I know 25 one of the issues that they've been facing  79 1 downtown is that there is a lot of downtown 2 living now. So what's happening, as soon as 3 5:00 hits, people that live in those buildings, 4 they're taking those spots. And it's limiting 5 the ability for people to, you know, even get 6 into businesses and what have you. So I know 7 that that was one issue that was brought up. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, and one other 9 thing -- and we'll ask them when they come, is 10 that has this revenue for the additional three 11 hours per day been estimated into -- into, you 12 know, what they're looking at for revenue as 13 well as those Saturdays? 14 Have they done a -- do they know 15 what that -- what that additional -- those 16 hours as well as Saturday is going to do for 17 their revenue? 18 MR. SMURL: Okay. All those in 19 favor of introduction signify by saying aye. 20 MR. KING: Aye. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Aye. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 23 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed?
