VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 13 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 14 MR. SMURL: First is Leslie Collins. 15 MS. COLLINS: Good evening, Council. 16 I'm Leslie Collins, President and CEO of 17 Scranton Tomorrow. I'm here this evening 18 regarding the parking system legislation. I 19 did attend the recent caucus. And I did hear 20 the -- more of a detailed plan from Dave 21 Trevisani, which we are all very grateful to 22 have more details. 23 I would like to share that yesterday 24 I did have a personal conversation with Dave. 25 And we were on the phone for quite some time  6 1 and I had a lot questions on behalf of our 2 downtown small business owners. 3 I think the conversation was very 4 productive and hoping that it will have a 5 beneficial turnout. Also, I'd like to note 6 that this afternoon I had a lengthy 7 conversation with Mayor Cognetti as well as 8 Jessica Eskra. 9 And I believe that conversation also 10 was extremely beneficial so that we understood 11 both sides of, you know, where we are at with 12 the legislation. 13 I would like to note and to thank 14 all of our small businesses who are here this 15 evening. I think you could see from everyone 16 seated in the gallery that we are really lucky 17 to have the business community that we have in 18 downtown Scranton. 19 Our business owners are not only 20 committed to their own businesses, but they are 21 committed to their neighbor's business as well. 22 So they really have just an absolutely 23 magnificent relationship. And so I'm sure 24 you're going to hear from many of them this 25 evening.  7 1 But please recognize that they may 2 not only be here for their own business, most 3 likely they are here in support of their 4 neighboring businesses as well. 5 So Scranton Tomorrow understands the 6 financial complications of the parking system 7 and the pressing need for the restructuring of 8 this significant debt. Throughout the years in 9 our role as a community convener, we have 10 successfully brought together parking 11 representatives, city officials, and members of 12 our small business community for discussion, 13 idea sharing and resolution of various 14 concerns. 15 Today based on the recent press and 16 the Council agenda, I'm here to represent the 17 downtown business community along with them and 18 by their side and relay their greatest concern 19 which has been relayed to us of the proposed 20 legislation which is specifically the 21 implementation of Saturday metered hours 22 between the hours of say, 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. 23 Regarding the caucus presentation 24 from this evening, I absolutely understand the 25 intent of the expansion of the metered hours is  8 1 to manage traffic flow, increase turnover and 2 discourage long-term parkers in high demand 3 areas, all of which are absolutely valid 4 concerns. And I know we would support that 5 intent. 6 However, I would ask that Council 7 and the administration please review what I 8 believe to be an existing ordinance on the 9 books, which is 439-20 which prohibits parking 10 during nighttime hours. It is very vague. It 11 does not specifically describe one specific 12 location. 13 But I think it certainly is worth 14 some investigation and how that ordinance which 15 is currently already on the books could be 16 enforced in a different manner. 17 Scranton Tomorrow serving as the 18 downtown business advocate has been contacted 19 by numerous businesses, property owners, 20 developers and residents fearful of the 21 economic impact of the expanded metered parking 22 hours on Saturday between the hours identified 23 in the legislation. 24 The concern is not only for the 25 bottom line of their own particular business,  9 1 it's, as I said, concern of the overall 2 economic security of their neighboring 3 businesses as well as their own employee base. 4 For the majority of the downtown 5 businesses, Saturdays represent the most 6 critical period for sales, foot traffic, and 7 most definitely special events. 8 Recognizing the complexity of the 9 refinancing and the immediate need to move this 10 legislation forward, we would respectfully ask 11 that you review and consider revising the 12 section regarding implementation of Saturday 13 metered parking to a more mutually beneficial 14 outcome, supporting both the parking system, 15 refinancing, and the downtown business 16 community. 17 I think we would all agree -- and I 18 don't think this could be disputed, that a well 19 structured and financially sound parking system 20 is truly critical to the health and the 21 vibrancy of your core business district. And 22 without that in place, we would certainly see 23 disorder that would occur. 24 However, we do feel very strongly 25 that it is important to support our small  10 1 businesses who truly are the backbone of our 2 community. So I would once again respectfully 3 ask for that review. And I thank you for the 4 opportunity to address Council. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Leslie. And 6 that ordinance for parking, you know, that 7 covers the entire City of Scranton of Scranton. 8 MS. COLLINS: Yes, it very vague. 9 MR. SMURL: Very vague and -- 10 MS. COLLINS: -- maybe I should say 11 it's very -- 12 MR. SMURL: -- bars they have to 13 close at 11:00, I don't think so. 14 MS. COLLINS: Yes, but maybe it is 15 worth, you know, maybe -- 16 MR. SMURL: It would have to be 17 revised or redone, but thank you. 18 MS. COLLINS: Yes, maybe this would 19 be an opportunity. Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. George 21 Semian. 22 MR. SEMIAN: Hello. I'm George 23 Semian. I live at 200 Adams, downtown, love 24 living there. This -- my head is spinning from 25 all of this. They didn't answer, first of all,  11 1 who is going to police this? Like, that is a 2 big concern. The meter people come out. Now 3 the hours right now are eight to five, correct, 4 during the week. 5 I see them come out at 8:30. They 6 are gone by four. I could pay in front of my 7 building at 10:00 until 3:00 and I won't get a 8 ticket because they are so spread out. They 9 have to police up by CMC. They to police over 10 by Regional Hospital. There's two women. 11 There's two women. So there is so 12 much loss right there in revenue, in my 13 opinion. The kiosks, they didn't say anything 14 about maintaining the kiosks. As far as the 15 kiosks go, they are vandalized. The stickers 16 are off them. 17 They're filthy. Some of them don't 18 work. And I do agree with the parking times 19 that should be on there because it's not -- 20 it's not clear to the general public. I want 21 to give an example of people that pay downtown. 22 If you look at the old hotel where 23 the -- I forget -- Red Roof or whatever it's 24 called down there, it's packed during the day. 25 They get $50 per spot to park there. A lot of  12 1 the people from the county park over there 2 because it's $50. 3 Okay, so when I get up in the 4 morning, there's a parking garage right next to 5 my apartment. And three quarters of it is 6 empty. Doesn't it make more sense to lower the 7 parking rate for residents? I pay $92 because 8 I live a half a block from that parking garage. 9 Why -- again, their forecasting, 10 it's just not -- it's just like totally out of 11 whack because I don't think, first of all, they 12 didn't ask anyone. They didn't say, okay, 13 let's sit down and -- and look at our other 14 options. 15 And, you know, I mean, it just 16 didn't happen. So that part is really 17 frustrating because the garages are empty. And 18 he kept saying, oh, it's a dollar an hour. 19 It's a dollar an hour. It doesn't matter. 20 They are still empty. People are not going to 21 the garage, like, it's just not happening. 22 Also, I was just informed that the 23 Hilton pays or guests pay $15 for overnight 24 parking in the garages. Do you go to New York 25 do you pay $15 overnight in Manhattan for  13 1 parking? Why are they only being charged $15 2 an hour, like, come on. It just doesn't make 3 sense. 4 I don't know what else to say about 5 it. But it's just very disparaging. But I 6 think the problem is policing the situation 7 because it's not going to happen. Also, half 8 the signs are down. They get knocked down by 9 trucks or snowplows in the winter. Half the 10 parking spots aren't there. 11 Getting back to the attendants, they 12 let Verizon park on that whole block of Adams 13 Avenue, don't charge them for anything. I just 14 don't understand the whole -- like, it's just 15 the mathematics of it. Like, the people are 16 not -- we're not giving you the input for 17 these people. 18 And I don't think they looked at the 19 other options. They haven't. So I just 20 don't -- I just see that they're -- as far as 21 the weekend goes, it's not -- I don't think it 22 should happen. If the parking goes until 7:00 23 at night, if they don't have the help, it's not 24 going to happen. 25 They don't police them during the  14 1 day enough. So I know everybody here speaks -- 2 they're going to have similar things that they 3 want to say. But it's just -- and again, not 4 hearing about it until I read it in the 5 newspaper. 6 This was the most substantial thing 7 that was in the newspaper for the past month. 8 So, you know, in closing, I think the residents 9 should still have some input, the business 10 owners. And let's at least talk about it. 11 Like, we didn't have a chance to talk about it 12 because there are other revenue sources by just 13 having common sense. That's all I have to say. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, George. Joan 15 Hodowanitz. 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 17 Scranton, well if ever a major piece of 18 legislation should have been preceded by a town 19 hall, this is it. We hear about the major 20 stakeholders, you know, the CDPS, the city and 21 the bondholder. 22 What about the downtown residents? 23 What about the business owners and their 24 employees and people who work downtown? What 25 about organizations like the universities and  15 1 the medical college and the library, all of 2 whom have a vested interest in this type of 3 legislation. 4 This should have been preceded by a 5 town hall where there could have been a greater 6 exchange of opinions and comments. This seems 7 to me like, oh, well, we're in a crisis 8 situation so let's get this legislation passed 9 and we'll go home for August. I'm not happy 10 about that. 11 I went back and looked at the 12 slideshow that they presented on June 16th. A 13 couple things came to mind. Two of the 14 objectives for these parking changes, it's 15 important for economic development and it will 16 reduce driver stress. Are you kidding me? 17 And then, okay, what are some of the 18 reasons why they're in such financial dire 19 straits, Covid. The last time I looked, Covid 20 had died about three years ago. And that's an 21 excuse that needs to be put to bed. You could 22 only use that so many times and then it's gone. 23 I can't believe that they are using 24 that as an excuse. I could understand the 25 first two years but not until 2025.  16 1 Then they have the nerve to put in 2 their slideshow that the city can implement a 3 parking tax on the city's parking lots and 4 meters. Just what the city needs right now, 5 another tax. I'm sure that will go over quite 6 well just like the predicted rain tax did. 7 I want to know did they contact 8 these private parking lot owners? Did they 9 talk to, you know, any of the residents 10 downtown? I got an e-mail from my property 11 manager telling me that we should come to this 12 meeting tonight because our parking fees are 13 going to be the highest in Northeastern 14 Pennsylvania. 15 I want to know if that's true. 16 These extended hours, especially on Saturday, 17 you can't drop a bombshell like that and not 18 give the public a chance to express their 19 concerns more than just one or two weeks. I 20 think that's wrong. 21 You know, what about the developers 22 downtown? You know, you talk about -- you want 23 to get the permanent parkers, you know, get 24 these downtown residents parking in the parking 25 garage. Most of your downtown residents fall  17 1 into two groups, retirees like me and students. 2 And guess who has the least amount 3 of disposal income to go throw around, retirees 4 and students. And for them to get this as a 5 summer present, oh, this is just going to be a 6 joy. I wonder, you know, I mean, if you were 7 John Basalyga or a Charlie Jefferson, would you 8 want to renovate another building into 9 apartments? 10 You know, I mean, this is going to 11 change the calculous for the demand for 12 downtown apartments. It will. It will because 13 so many are students. And if you think I'm 14 wrong, go down to Samters and knock on every 15 door. They are 99 percent students. And I'm 16 sure that's true of a lot of the buildings. 17 I don't know. There's so much to 18 say and so little time. I'm glad that they 19 applied for grants. And I think it's wonderful 20 that they'll want to put solar panels. I'm 21 sure that will generate a lot of income. But I 22 want to know why we have to rush this through 23 and why can't we have more time for a more 24 formal exchange of views and concerns. 25 I think the people pay a lot of  18 1 taxes in this Council and just to have this 2 dropped in our laps like this I think is 3 patently unfair. Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. 5 Martina Soden. 6 MS. SODEN: Good evening, City 7 Council. My name is Martina Soden. I'm head 8 of Reference Services at the Scranton Public 9 Library. I've come to you today as a 10 representative of the library to speak about 11 the parking that's been on the agenda tonight 12 and the next few weeks. 13 Our mission at the Scranton Public 14 Library is to enhance our community by 15 fostering and supporting individual aspirations 16 towards lifelong learning, entertainment, and 17 self-fulfillment for all. 18 This is accomplished through free 19 access wherever is needed to a broad collection 20 of resources and currently use formats, 21 courteous and knowledgeable staff and 22 activities designed to satisfy the 23 informational, educational, recreational, and 24 personal needs of everyone in our ever changing 25 diverse environment.  19 1 The Scranton Public Library opened 2 its door on June 1st 1893. We just celebrated 3 our 132nd anniversary. We were created as the 4 first free library in the City of Scranton 5 where anyone could come through our doors and 6 have access to a variety of materials. That 7 hasn't change. 8 We continue to offer free computers, 9 printers, Wi-Fi, circulation collections, 10 meeting spaces and programming. As we have 11 been a part of this City of Scranton for so 12 long, we also want the city to succeed and 13 continue to be a vibrant community. 14 But we also see the disadvantage of 15 the changes introduced. Over the years we have 16 adapted and accepted many conditions. But this 17 one is harder for us. Our patrons have been 18 hindered over the years to the cost of parking. 19 These new charges will have an 20 affect on accessibility of our resources and 21 access to all we offer. We have built our 22 programs around free parking by having programs 23 at 6 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays. 24 We had heard -- we heard from 25 patrons regarding the expense to park and they  20 1 come to us on hours that are free. To help our 2 patrons in the last six months we have started 3 working with Adams parking garage where we 4 offer two free hours of parking. 5 But this is actually coming out of 6 our general fund. And we pay for the parking 7 for the patrons. We hope that we won't need to 8 add more hours, but we will always as we said, 9 will continue to change. 10 Please reconsider how this will 11 affect patrons, families, and businesses in our 12 community with the changes of the parking 13 hours. Thank you. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les 15 Spindler. 16 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 17 Council, city resident, homeowner. You know, 18 I'm old enough to remember growing up in this 19 city Scranton was bustling downtown. There 20 were all small businesses like people that are 21 represented here. This legislation will kill 22 these businesses. 23 I remember coming downtown, Spruce 24 Street was packed with small businesses. There 25 was a store called The Flash, a men's store my  21 1 dad use to shop at, bring me all the time. 2 If this goes through, if this 3 legislation passes, you're going to kill all of 4 these business. And I hope the Mayor is there 5 when these people are locking their doors like 6 shes's cutting ribbons, putting her face in the 7 news all the time. 8 You can't pass this legislation. 9 You are going to kill all of these small 10 businesses. It's wonderful what they do. They 11 are great for the city. Even the gentleman 12 sitting here said how Scranton is growing. 13 Well, it's going to stop growing if these 14 things are implemented. 15 I have a lot to say tonight. So 16 that's all I'm going to say on that. Just hope 17 you reconsider not -- vote against this 18 legislation. 19 Next thing, last week I was here and 20 I said I would give the city until last 21 Thursday to fix my corner. Well, obviously 22 they didn't come. So I ended up taking care of 23 it myself. But I don't think I should have to. 24 I pay property taxes to have this stuff taken 25 care of.  22 1 If this city isn't going to do what 2 they are supposed to do, I might as well stop 3 paying my property taxes because this city 4 isn't -- it's terrible right now. All you get 5 is lies, lies, lies from the Mayor, the Council 6 to the DPW Director promised me three years ago 7 that our corner would be fixed. 8 I had to take it upon myself to fix 9 my corner. And with the downpour we had today, 10 I must say I'm not a professional. I think I 11 did a pretty darn good job because it kept 12 water off my sidewalks. 13 Next thing, I go to shop at Redner's 14 a lot. I see homeless people sitting there 15 begging for money. I would give it to them 16 whenever I can. And I can't afford to do it. 17 I'm on Social Security. I'm on a fixed income. 18 I can't just give money away. 19 But I won't be giving them any more. 20 Why don't they go get a job? I give them money 21 and I come out and I see them smoking 22 cigarettes. They are begging for money to go 23 buy cigarettes? That's ridiculous. If they 24 could buy cigarettes which are like, what, 5, 6 25 dollars a pack, they shouldn't be sitting there  23 1 begging for money from people who worked their 2 whole lives to collect Social Security. 3 It's ridiculous. They wouldn't get 4 another cent from me. And if people think I'm 5 insensitive, yeah, well, I am insensitive when 6 people are buying cigarettes with money they're 7 begging for. 8 Next thing, pave cuts again. I'll 9 keep talking about these pave cuts until they 10 are all fixed. And I said last thing, you 11 people are not doing your job. You should be 12 after these people who are supposed to be 13 inspecting these pave cuts. 14 They are just allowed to sit there. 15 Like I said, the one on my block it just keeps 16 getting worse and worse and worse. And leaving 17 this meeting two weeks ago walking my dog down 18 Dorothy Street like I always do, I came across 19 a road collapse. 20 I told Councilman Schuster about it. 21 He has pictures. Right by the Tripp Park 22 Community Center, a hole opened up about 2 to 3 23 feet deep and 2 feet by 4 feet. Nothing's been 24 done. The police put barricades around it. 25 It's been two weeks now.  24 1 Someone did put some fill in it a 2 couple days after I saw it, but nothing's been 3 done. The pavement around the hole keeps 4 falling in. And it's just sitting there. I 5 don't know what it takes for this city to get 6 things done. And that's the water company. 7 The water company made that pave cut 8 about a year or two ago because there's a storm 9 drain about 10 feet away from it and roads just 10 don't collapse. There has to be a reason why 11 the road collapsed. And nobody is doing 12 anything. 13 I go by there almost every day and 14 nothing's being done. Lastly, it was on the 15 news yesterday with the Philadelphia Phillies 16 who I can't stand, I think the Phillies fans 17 are the worst in the world. But they did 18 something wonderful Sunday. 19 They invited Detective Gilmartin and 20 his family to their game on Sunday and they 21 honored him. He went down on the field with 22 his family. They gave him a Phillies jersey 23 with his name on it. I thought that was really 24 wonderful and they said, you know, what he went 25 through and everything.  25 1 And I give Phillies credit for that. 2 But that's all I give them credit for. Thank 3 you for your time. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Virgil 5 Argenta. 6 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Virgil 7 Argenta, Scranton taxpayer, City Council 8 candidate. I stand in solidarity with the 9 downtown Scranton Business owners against the 10 new parking authority's proposals. Where is 11 the Mayor tonight on this very important issue? 12 I would like to express my deep 13 concern regarding the management or should I 14 say the mismanagement of community development 15 properties, Scranton's Parking Authority, which 16 was transferred under an usually long lease to 17 a nonprofit vendor. 18 While public private partnerships 19 can offer value, they must remain accountable 20 to the community that they serve. This vendor 21 recent request for increased funding and hours, 22 a lease extension, city intervention and 23 maintenance requests are troubling. 24 Though the pandemic which is five 25 years old posed challenges, it should not  26 1 excuse unmet obligations or unjustify any 2 further concessions. Even more concerning is 3 the rise in parking rates and longer 4 enforcement hours that is creating financial 5 pressure on downtown Scranton's residents, 6 business owners and visitors. 7 This policy may reduce economic 8 activity and deter participation in events like 9 Saturday church services or evening City of 10 Scranton board meetings. Additionally, it 11 might be worth looking into the salary of 12 executives of the Community Development 13 Property Scranton, this nonprofit Parking 14 Authority. 15 Let's not forget local residents, 16 employees have repeatedly been let go further 17 distancing this operation from the community 18 it's meant to serve. Let's keep in mind the 19 last Parking Authority board meeting last week 20 was held in the lobby of City Hall due to the 21 doors being locked. 22 If this vendor cannot fulfill its 23 obligations without shifting costs onto the 24 public and reducing local employment, this 25 arrangement is no longer serving Scranton, its  27 1 residents, its businesses or its public trust. 2 It's reneging on its contract. 3 I would like to share an experience 4 regarding Parking Authority. My wife owned a 5 restaurant catering business for over 20 years 6 in the City of Scranton, including five years 7 in downtown. 8 One of the most significant 9 challenges both our customers and staff 10 encountered was with the parking enforcement 11 officers who often issued tickets without 12 consideration for those loading or unloading 13 supplies or preparing for catered events. 14 Customers were ticketed even while 15 quickly picking up their orders which 16 ultimately led many senior groups to stop 17 visiting due to concerns about parking 18 violations, which was one of the factors in us 19 closing our downtown location. 20 Tonight I respectfully call on City 21 Council to take immediate steps to terminate 22 the current lease and restore municipal control 23 of the Parking Authority back to the City of 24 Scranton. Our city's infrastructure belongs to 25 its people and it must be managed with  28 1 transparency, fairness and genuine local 2 stewardship. 3 Let's give the Parking Authority the 4 same courtesy it gives our residents and 5 visitors of Scranton, none. 6 Mr. Smurl, over the weekend you 7 completed the weeding and trimming of the grass 8 at 307 Lookout. It looks great. Councilman 9 McAndrew has previously requested permission 10 from the administration to have qualified 11 masons repair the wall at the Lookout but has 12 not received approval. 13 Can you clarify how you obtained 14 authorization to undertake work on city 15 property? While the area is now visibly 16 cleaned up, some concerns remain about work 17 typically performed by city union workers. 18 Would it be possible for you to 19 organize an annual cleanup event like those 20 held in other parks potentially with support 21 from union leaders and its members? I think 22 they would be okay with that. 23 What does the Council person who 24 oversees DPW think about another Council person 25 taking work away from DPW union members?  29 1 Additionally, if one of your volunteers were 2 injured on city property, who would assume 3 responsibility, the City of Scranton? 4 Could you also provide any 5 information about the status of that new two 6 person blight crew that is supposed to be 7 handling jobs like that? Mr. Smurl, DPW will 8 be short two employees tomorrow morning. Is 9 there any possibility you could assist with 10 garbage collection? 11 And a quick question, do you know if 12 we are still vetting the new police hires, 13 particularly the last police hire that was 14 hired? Are we vetting those guys properly? 15 MR. SMURL: I hope so. 16 MR. ARGENTA: Okay. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 18 MR. ARGENTA: You'll see something 19 is coming down the pike. 20 MR. SMURL: Kevin Morgan. 21 MR. MORGAN: Hello, Kevin Morgan, 22 downtown resident. Just a few things, I was 23 here early listening to them here and just a 24 few things that kind of caught my ear. I don't 25 think that we should stand by the eye test for  30 1 this gentleman saying that's where he's getting 2 his data from that he walked around downtown 3 Scranton and looked and counted the cars. 4 Secondly, he said that we will be 5 adding transaction fees. I use Pango almost 6 every day. There's a 25 cent transaction fee 7 on the app. So I don't know if they're adding 8 more. But the other thing he mentioned was 9 trying to get long-term tenants down into the 10 parking garages. 11 My wife gets home from work at 12 midnight. I don't know who's going to walk her 13 the three blocks from the parking garage to our 14 apartment or if we're going to have more police 15 out at night to patrol that, but not a great 16 solution. 17 So just starting there, I think we 18 should check the rest of their surveys and 19 projections because it seems like they're all 20 just going off the eye test. For me, I go to 21 work at 8 a.m. and come back at 5 p.m. every 22 day. 23 Extending the hours 260 week days in 24 a year times 3 hours a day, 780 hours will come 25 to $755 -- $1,755 just on the weekday extended  31 1 hours for someone who works 8 to 5. Fifty-two 2 Saturdays in a year times 11 hours a day, 572 3 hours, $1,287. 4 Transaction fees twice a day because 5 when you go into the app in the morning and 6 then when you get home from work, you're 7 getting charged 25 cents each time. 8 Eight hundred thirty-two 9 transactions, $208 in a year just for me who 10 works 8 to 5 and would need to pay before I go 11 to work and after I get home from work, $3,250 12 a year. The current daily total $21.50 for 13 someone who works an eight-hour shift in 14 downtown. That comes out to $107.50 a year. 15 To put that into perspective, 16 someone making $41,000 a year working in 17 downtown Scranton is working a full eight-hour 18 shift just to pay for parking. That is 20 19 percent of their take-home pay after taxes just 20 to pay for parking. 21 And that is not to mention if they 22 have a job where they can't be on their phone 23 every two hours because there's a two-hour time 24 limit and they go out to two or maybe three 25 different fines in a day.  32 1 Of my 10 best friends who graduated 2 from West Scranton in 2008, I am currently the 3 only one who lives in Scranton. This is mostly 4 due to convenience for my work. For decades we 5 have lost some of our best talent, creators, 6 entrepreneurs in community not only to larger 7 cities like Philadelphia, but more so to our 8 neighboring cities. 9 There was always an unofficial 10 slogan from anyone who spent time in Scranton, 11 "There's nothing to do here." You've all heard 12 it, lying if you say otherwise. And even 13 though I personally do not believe it is true, 14 it is -- was the mindset for some time. 15 Recently the city, the Council, 16 everyone in this room has done a great job to 17 change that by leaps and bounds. My wife moved 18 here three years ago. That was her mindset. 19 And she tells me every day things are looking 20 great. Scranton is getting so much better. 21 The shops, the restaurants, the 22 breweries, the salons, the great events for all 23 ages, this would be a step in the opposite 24 direction telling those people while we 25 appreciate the fact that you want to utilize  33 1 our new downtown, it's going to cost you. 2 This will be a trickle down effect 3 when we see less customers visiting these 4 establishments which in turn, their prices will 5 rise to compensate. And eventually we'll be 6 back to the boarded up windows and that old 7 saying making it back into circulation. Thank 8 you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman. 10 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 11 You people must be in denial. You just don't 12 seem to grasp what's going on in this city 13 anymore. The last couple weeks I've walked 14 some of the same places I did four years ago 15 getting names. 16 The property owners are gone. And 17 there's renters. Renters don't care what the 18 property looks like. I've been telling you 19 that for three years about my neighborhood. 20 It's getting worse and worse. 21 Two weeks ago at 2402, some people 22 moved in, parked on the lawn. There is junk 23 everywhere. In two weeks they have created 24 poverty. That's what's happening all over. 25 And I don't know where these people went. They  34 1 are just not here. 2 Undesirables are taking over. We're 3 becoming a Hazleton. The way they work a 4 pencil, how could anybody fall for this stuff 5 they came with tonight. They have a contract. 6 They -- you can't just null and void a contract 7 and tell them to start over at taxpayer's 8 expense, 2 million dollars of tax money 9 senseless to a nonprofit. 10 Why are they nonprofit anyway? 11 That's the trouble with Scranton. You people 12 have allowed God knows how many useless, 13 worthless nonprofits. And this one of them. 14 You know, this is supposed to be a 15 plan for the city. How could this help me? 16 How could this help anybody out there? You 17 know what -- a plan for the city is like the 18 California plan on school and property taxes. 19 In case you don't know what that is, 20 in California when you buy a property, whatever 21 the taxes are at that minute they stay that way 22 as long as you own the property. When that 23 property is sold, like, code enforcement, there 24 is nobody better than knowing the neighborhood, 25 code enforcement can say what the new taxes up  35 1 or down should be. 2 You know what we got? We got two 3 guys from Ohio walking down sidewalks dictating 4 what our property is worth. They didn't even 5 know about my garage, my basement, my back. 6 They didn't know nothing about my house because 7 I talked to them. They were out there with 8 transits and so forth. 9 You people, if you consider this 10 crap one minute, you don't belong in those 11 seats in November, I'm telling you. You got to 12 start thinking about the people of this city 13 that put you there instead of trying to save a 14 failed business. Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Andrew 16 Merwine. 17 MR. MERWINE: How are you? I almost 18 wish I went first because I feel like I'm going 19 to repeat a lot of the stuff that you guys have 20 heard. My name is Andrew Merwine. And Im the 21 co-owner of Loyalty Barbershop, a downtown 22 Scranton business operating since 2014. 23 I'm here to share concerns about the 24 proposed changes to parking enforcement, 25 specifically expanding the paid hours 7 to 7  36 1 and eliminating Saturdays. 2 We've worked hard to remain 3 successful while still dealing with the lasting 4 affects of the pandemic combined with rising 5 rent, utilities, and supply costs making 6 margins tighter than ever. 7 Many other businesses downtown are 8 in the same position trying to maintain 9 momentum in a tough economic environment that 10 the changes in parking will only make tougher. 11 And I know that people get sick of 12 hearing about Covid, but it took so long to dig 13 out of the hole that it created that it was 14 only recently that I feel like most of us 15 stopped honestly feeling the affects even if it 16 was five years ago. 17 But Scranton's third party kiosks 18 system is often unreliable and confusing. Many 19 kiosks will be randomly out of order only 20 accepting one type of payment that day and 21 customers regularly tell us that they feel 22 anxious about getting a ticket despite 23 attempting to pay. 24 For instance, sometimes it will take 25 quarters. Someone will come down with quarters  37 1 then it only takes a card that day. It's 2 random. Also, it absolutely has let me pay at 3 times when it's not supposed to. So I don't 4 know what they meant with that, but just food 5 for thought. 6 Sometimes customers give up on 7 coming as often as they would altogether for 8 fear of being ticketed or not understanding the 9 kiosks. Extending the pay parking hours and 10 removing free Saturdays will only increase 11 confusion and deter visits to downtown 12 businesses. 13 Free parking on Saturdays was one of 14 the small concessions that helped encourage 15 people to visit downtown on weekends. 16 Saturdays are crucial for our business because 17 of walk-ins and families who feel comfortable 18 coming downtown without worrying about parking 19 fees or tickets. 20 Removing this will negatively impact 21 customer turnout and weekend revenue for many 22 businesses. The other concession being our 23 customers who came downtown before 8 or after 24 5, many of the elderly or big families that who 25 already pay a lot for haircuts because they  38 1 felt it would be easier than looking for a 2 spot, dealing with kiosks, all of that so they 3 would come before or after ticketing hours 4 because it was easier and less financially hard 5 on them. 6 Extending the hours will alienate 7 them as well. Longer parking hours may create 8 short term revenue. But they risk driving away 9 the very people that we need to continue 10 bringing downtown back to life. If fewer 11 people come downtown, every business suffers 12 and so does the city's tax base. 13 We would at the very least ask that 14 the kiosks are fixed and better maintained to 15 reduce confusion and improve reliability like 16 mentioned, offer discounts, validations or 17 passes for customers and downtown business 18 owners possibly. 19 And at least maintain free Saturday 20 parking until a full impact study and community 21 input process has been completed. Loyalty 22 Barbershop has been a proud part of Scranton's 23 downtown since 2014. And we ask that the 24 Council consider how these proposed parking 25 changes would create unnecessary barriers for  39 1 customers and harm businesses working hard to 2 rebuild and to grow. 3 We respectfully urge you to 4 reconsider and explore solutions that support 5 long term downtown success. Thank you. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. William 7 Nasser. William? Nasser, yes. 8 MR. NASSER: Good evening, Council. 9 My name is William Nasser. I'm a co-owner of 10 the Backyard Ale House located on Linden Street 11 downtown. 12 We have been down there for 17 13 years. I'm also a resident of the City of 14 Scranton for going on 20 years. Before I dive 15 in, I just -- I want to thank Council members 16 for your service. I know that your job isn't 17 easy at times. And I know it's maybe ugly and 18 difficult and especially when you have a mob of 19 angry business owners descending upon you. 20 But I appreciate what you guys do 21 for the -- the efforts for the city. So I'm 22 voicing my opposition as it relates to the 23 proposed parking increases. I've been down -- 24 if I'm mistaken, extended hours has been 25 attempted before and it didn't work.  40 1 And I believe it was rolled back 2 because it just -- it was a -- it was a 3 disaster. And it was only mitigated until the 4 hours were adjusted back to the additional 5 5 p.m. style. 6 It does -- it will chase customers 7 away. And the losses aren't just limited to 8 customers. We have to -- our employees are 9 going to have to get a commensurate raise. And 10 you're going to -- you're going to see it on 11 both ends because you're going to have less 12 customers and then you have to match -- you 13 can't expect your employees to take a haircut 14 too. 15 I mean, it's hard to get employees. 16 So those parking lots and people that need jobs 17 in Dickson City that could park there for free. 18 So it's easy for someone to say, oh, I'll just 19 go work up there now. And so we'd like to try 20 to retain our good people that have been 21 working for us. 22 As it relates to the overall scope 23 of parking downtown, I believe the city 24 commissioned a study a couple years ago called 25 the Connectivity Study. And I know that there  41 1 is some discussions and some capital 2 improvements. 3 I'm just wondering if any of that -- 4 if any of that incorporates what that study had 5 to offer because that could be a pathway or 6 solution to maybe resolving some of these 7 financial issues that the Parking Authority has 8 seen right now. So, you know, that's just 9 something for you guys to consider. 10 That is above my pay grade. But I 11 just wanted to point that out that maybe that's 12 something that should be considered. So I just 13 in summation, just hope that you guys 14 reconsider and maybe punt these, you know, 15 these changes until we could really hash out 16 and maybe find a better more long-term solution 17 that's suitable for paying the city's 18 obligations and for the business community. 19 Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. John. John? 21 How about Jamie Hailstone? 22 MR. HAILSTONE: Good evening. 23 Tonight I'm here as general counsel for 24 Lackawanna College. My client asked me to 25 appear tonight to voice our opposition to the  42 1 increase in time and increase in parking fees. 2 There's no question this will hurt our 3 students. 4 As you probably know, Lackawanna 5 College is a college that's made up mostly -- 6 most of our students are non-traditional 7 students. They work. They come back to 8 school. They're younger. They're also working 9 full time. 10 We have a lot of students that come 11 later. We don't have the capacity to give 12 every student a parking spot. So they are 13 parking on the streets and that could be a 14 burden. That could be a great burden. But 15 they're doing it because they want to better 16 themselves. They want to get a degree and they 17 want to move on. 18 This is going to hurt them. There's 19 no question and when we look at this, the 20 extending the times, the increase in the fees 21 and especially Saturday. They come on 22 Saturdays to use the library facility, to use 23 our facilities. 24 And it would just be an extra burden 25 on a population that really doesn't need to be  43 1 burdened like this. I'd ask you to really 2 closely look at this bailout that's being 3 created for the Parking Authority. 4 It's not even clear that increasing 5 the hours and increasing the fees is going to 6 do anything. There's no information and I've 7 read everything I was able to find on this. 8 And there is really nothing that says this will 9 be other than, well, maybe this will make the 10 bondholders happy. 11 I think this has to be reviewed very 12 carefully and this -- stay away from adding 13 burdens on people that are coming to town for 14 good reasons, coming to town for schools, 15 coming to down for the libraries, coming to 16 town to go to dinner, it's going to hurt 17 people. 18 And what I'm here for, our college, 19 it's going to hurt our students. And we have 20 to ask you very strongly to oppose this 21 legislation. I thank you for your time. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all 23 for the sign-in sheet. Anyone else wish to 24 address? 25 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council,  44 1 Lee Morgan. I was going to talk about the 2 ECTV, but I think tonight since you're talking 3 about this maybe that's all right too. I'd 4 just like to say that I think that Chris 5 Doherty's legacy still lives. 6 He built a parking garage for 7 absolutely no reason. Council debated it and 8 figured out that the city couldn't afford to 9 pay for it. And so we put the Parking 10 Authority basically on a collision course with 11 self-destruction. 12 And then you add into that multiple 13 Councils after that that refused to be 14 responsible. They played the political game. 15 I appreciate the business owners here. But if 16 you lived in Scranton when I was a child, the 17 business district was much larger and more 18 vibrant. 19 And even at that time it was in a 20 major decline. I really can't tell you why 21 anybody would come to the downtown Scranton 22 area and pay that kind of money they pay for 23 parking here. And as some of the people have 24 spoken, none of the equipment for parking 25 works.  45 1 You're walking a block to another 2 kiosk to pay. And, you know, I think it's time 3 to realize that the reason we have a nonprofit 4 running the Parking Authority is because of the 5 incompetence of the Parking Authority itself. 6 And don't forget that we had a mayor 7 that was prosecuted for public I think -- was 8 it corruption? I mean, you could just see the 9 way the city's gone. And then we find ourself 10 where we are now. 11 You know, the nonprofit running the 12 Parking Authority is so it didn't have to pay 13 taxes. That was the discussion when this whole 14 deal was run through. Don't forget I've come 15 here for 40 years. I've watched all of this 16 stuff take place. 17 There is really only one solution to 18 this problem. You have to dissolve that 19 agreement. And you have to sell the remnants 20 of the Parking Authority outright to collect 21 the money necessary to pay the bonds off. And 22 we have to stop playing silly little games with 23 kiosks in neighborhoods and around hospitals. 24 All right? 25 The remnants of some of them that  46 1 would still exist in the downtown could be 2 where the rates could be seriously reduced, 3 control the flow of parking in the city that 4 makes it conducive for business owners to have, 5 you know, control over how long people park in 6 one spot so that there's a turnover so patrons 7 can come and patronize city businesses. 8 But the only real solution here is 9 that that agreement has to be terminated and 10 dissolved. And we have to face the reality 11 that we've squandered almost everything in this 12 city. We look at our water bills and our sewer 13 bills. And then PA American Water, those 14 articles where they are pumping hundreds of 15 millions of dollars into the city systems here 16 because the elected people that we elected used 17 the Sewer Authority as an employment agency for 18 politically connected people. 19 And it's just hurt the whole city. 20 And, you know, my next stop is I'm going to be 21 70 soon. And my next stop is a cemetery. But 22 what about all the young people that are here 23 that are going to move here? Do you want to 24 create a vibrant Scranton and offer people a 25 future?  47 1 It's like I said here from the 2 podium many times. I moved my children out of 3 this city when they were young and sent them to 4 Abington and it's paid off. They are all 5 making hundreds of thousands of dollars and 6 they are not here. And I told them they had to 7 leave because I knew the residents didn't 8 really care about the city. 9 They wouldn't come to meetings. 10 They didn't want to change anything. And you 11 know what, the ball's in your court now. Do 12 you want to change something? Do you want to 13 give the children here a future? Dissolve the 14 agreement, sell the assets of the authority 15 off, pay the bonds off, reset all the meters in 16 the downtown, create a flow of traffic through 17 the city and give these people a chance to make 18 a living because most people know that 19 independent business owners don't operate on a 20 large profit and most of them don't get 21 wealthy. 22 That's what the statistics say. So, 23 you know, do something for your community for 24 once and change the direction of the city. 25 Thank you.  48 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 2 MS. KOLOSKI: Hi. Good evening, 3 Doris Koloski, Scranton. Okay, I have two 4 things before I get into the parking because 5 that's what I came for is, whoever cleaned up 6 421 Colfax last time if it was through the 7 city, please send them back again. 8 The second one was as I was walking 9 to the park this morning with the dog as I went 10 by Colfax and Linden Street, there's a round 11 hole with a pipe in it right in the middle of 12 the intersection there. And I went 13 catty-corner and I was lucky I didn't step in 14 it. 15 And I did see a hospital worker and 16 asked him if he had any clue what it was and he 17 said he thinks it's from a utility company and 18 that the cap is missing. So I don't know who 19 you would tell to go up there and check it, but 20 somebody is going to get hurt. Okay, that's 21 the end of that. 22 All right. Well, I had seen in the 23 paper about the parking. And I thought it said 24 extended to 7 p.m. and Saturdays. And I wasn't 25 sure if it said anything about Sunday. And I  49 1 planned on coming this week to talk about it. 2 And now I found out there was caucus and a 3 whole thing that went on. 4 So I wanted to give you a thing as 5 not as a business owner downtown but as a 6 customer downtown. I go to physical therapy 7 downtown. And you're going to extend it to 8 seven, that means you can't go at 5:00 to save 9 a little bit of money or 4:00. 10 You only have to pay for part of the 11 parking. When we go to the Broadway Theater 12 League, which I just redid my tickets, we 13 usually go to Abe's Restaurant. It's usually a 14 Saturday or a Sunday. So we don't pay for 15 parking. We don't worry about having to have 16 to spend half an hour in the restaurant and 17 then a couple hours at the Heritage Center and 18 having to worry about running out at the 19 parking meter. 20 So as a customer, we go Saturday 21 mornings, one of my groups has a meeting once a 22 month at Northern Lights Restaurant there on 23 Biden Street or Spruce Street, whatever you 24 want to call it now. And, I mean, I don't know 25 if they will continue to do that if they are  50 1 going to have to pay for parking. 2 We might just move to someplace that 3 has a parking lot. I don't know. I'm not in 4 charge of that. But I like Northern Lights. 5 And I like to go there. And I like to go to 6 the Downtown Deli. We were just there for 7 Saturday for something to eat. 8 And now you're telling me you're 9 going to charge more for parking. It's the 10 Parking Authority. I didn't even know they 11 were nonprofit. But if they are a nonprofit, 12 then that's too bad. They are not supposed to 13 be making a profit. So I don't know why they 14 would need more money. 15 When you go to a doctor's office 16 it's the same thing. When I go to the Medical 17 Arts building for my dermatologist, I have to 18 pay for parking. The last time I was in town I 19 had to go through to three different kiosks. 20 One kiosk I couldn't read to press the numbers 21 in because it was so filthy dirty. I couldn't 22 get my license plate number in. 23 Then I went to another one around 24 the courthouse square that it wouldn't take my 25 credit card. Then I went back in the car to  51 1 get quarters and it wouldn't take the quarters. 2 So then I had to cross the street, walk up the 3 block, go to the next kiosk and that one wasn't 4 working. 5 Then when I came back to just leave 6 town in my car I saw another woman struggling 7 with it with the same kiosk that I was at the 8 first time. And I said I couldn't get it to 9 work either. It went as far as after you put 10 your license plate number in it wouldn't let 11 you pick your time and your hours. 12 Then the following week when I was 13 down there at the same kiosk, it was working. 14 Sometimes it will take one credit card but it 15 won't take the other credit card. I mean, and 16 then you don't know what to do. Some of them 17 are spaced pretty far apart. So that is a 18 problem. 19 You know, so I just gave up and left 20 and so did other people. So somebody told me 21 to download the Pango app which I just 22 downloaded and I just didn't finish setting it 23 up. I just downloaded it yesterday. And now I 24 hear this guy saying that there's going to be a 25 service charge every time you use the Pango  52 1 app. 2 So I don't know. But all I want to 3 say about the parking situation is as a 4 customer, it's a lot easier to go up to Clarks 5 Summit and pull into a parking lot than it is 6 now to come downtown Scranton. And that's just 7 not right. They should not be extending these 8 hours. It's bad enough when you have to park 9 during the week. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris. 11 Anyone else? 12 MR. MARQUIS: Yeah, so Ant Marquis, 13 activist, musician. I really just came here to 14 spread light on my nonprofit. It's called Heal 15 the Homeless. So I know I spoke about this a 16 few months ago. I was talking about, you know, 17 touring and doing a whole big music tour to 18 raise funds in order to give back to the people 19 in Lackawanna County who are in need. 20 So I never forgot about that. Now 21 that I'm back and, you know, I took a little 22 bit of time off so I could get focused and 23 things of that nature. I feel like it's time 24 to get back on the purpose. So with that being 25 said, I'm going to be going to the V Spot  53 1 tonight and I'm going to be talking to the host 2 and hopefully I could get a green light to 3 start raising funds there. 4 And then we could get this thing 5 going. I'm so nervous, guys, so I'm just going 6 to leave it at that. Like I said, it's Ant 7 Marquis, musician slash activist. Thank you. 8 I'll catch you guys later. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 10 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council, 11 Tom Coyne, Minooka, and viewers. I put forth 12 six questions for the City Council caucus. The 13 last one was the parking group would be willing 14 to have the issue tabled until the July 29th 15 session before break. Between 6-D, 6-E, 7-C, 16 7-D, 7-E it's 468 pages to review. 17 They had enough time for legal and 18 PowerPoints and all but did not think that a 19 caucus was a good idea before submitting -- 20 prior to submitting this. Most of the time 21 large financial issues and some even zoning or 22 liquor license, we have a month where we hold 23 public comment. 24 But to hear some response for the 25 submitter the week of some votes and the week  54 1 before 6-D and 6-E, 381 pages in those two 2 alone is not enough time. We are racing to 3 approve a 45 year in duration contract in 16 4 days. 5 The changes in the parking times and 6 Monday through Friday at 7 will only make it 7 more difficult for Scranton caucus for it not 8 be a cloistered event. We also get why they 9 want Saturday parking to force Center City 10 business and renters into the parking garages. 11 As it now stands, eight to five they 12 leave for work when it's free. They come home 13 when it's free. And the idea is by making 14 it -- by changing the hours is to force them to 15 pay for monthly payments in the garages rather 16 than getting free parking in the evening on the 17 streets. 18 WNEP reported, soon you'll pay more 19 for parking downtown Scranton, including on 20 weekends. Even they expect that it was going 21 to be a done deal and rubber stamped. Moving 22 on, some of us saw pictures of the board 23 meeting in the hallway downstairs as they were 24 locked out of City Hall. 25 Speaking of getting it right, I  55 1 believe that, Mr. Smurl, you were one of the 2 representatives on this board that was 3 appointed by -- appointed by the Council? I'm 4 not sure why if the board -- if your badge was 5 broken and you could not get in or you just 6 weren't there as a representative. 7 Why do we assign positions of 8 oversight on some boards to the administration 9 and Council if they never even show up to those 10 meetings. As usual, no one would have known 11 unless they were not locked out of the city's 12 building. 13 More from the news, McDade Splash 14 Pad, relatively new construction and we can't 15 even keep it open for a single season without 16 something breaking. At least we're not 17 complaining at this point of the lack of 18 lifeguards in the city. 19 More from -- who is deciding who is 20 the best contractor for the city because we've 21 seen a lot of shotty work come down recently 22 from the best. Over to potholes. I want to 23 thank DPW tossing some cold patch into the hole 24 on Phinney Street and filling it. 25 But we need to give them the proper  56 1 tools. It was not sealed. It was not pressed 2 fully. It's on a slope. Water is just going 3 to erode it again and it will wash out within a 4 year or two. 5 Does the city even own a drum roller 6 or mini roller to press down pavement into the 7 roads? Mr. McAndrew asked what responsibility 8 to car repairs so in the interest of clarity 9 and public I will note the question was on 10 responsibility to Scranton and claims. 11 Yes, they're responsible. You could 12 prove you gave them notice. In Pennsylvania 13 statute hold that government agencies like 14 townships and cities are liable for road 15 conditions which the agencies have actual 16 knowledge. 17 Actual knowledge can be provided by 18 the minutes of public meetings or by statements 19 of the township -- city or township officials. 20 So for your potholes, don't call 311. Use the 21 pothole app, e-mail them, and on the portal it 22 doesn't e-mail you back. 23 So take a screenshot of you actually 24 reporting to the city properly and having a 25 record if someone else winds up having their  57 1 front end damaged, at least then there's 2 evidence so that they could get restitution for 3 the negligence of the city. 4 And do we need another trash truck 5 when our city streets right now look like 6 trash? I think we need to shift to that rather 7 than to the trash trucks. Thank you. And I 8 hope you table this whole thing. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 10 MR. COYNE: I still have time. 11 Thank you very much for interrupting. 12 MR. SMURL: I'll give you a couple 13 more seconds. Go ahead. 14 MR. COYNE: You certainly did to 15 Scranton Tomorrow. Now, again -- you know 16 what, you've thrown me off. That's good 17 enough. Have a good night. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 19 MR. JEFFERSON: My name is Charles 20 Jefferson. I've been in Scranton for 20 years. 21 I developed the Connell building, 200 Adams, 22 426 Mulberry, the Samter building, took Montage 23 out of bankruptcy and turned it into what it is 24 today. 25 I generally don't attend these  58 1 forums. I generally don't put myself out 2 there. I'm thrilled to be surrounded by the 3 people that have shown up tonight. They are 4 business owners. They're residents. They're 5 citizens. They're your voters. 6 They came here to object to 7 something that we all believe is egregious, 8 overburdening and just plain wrong. I have 9 been here for the last two hours. I watched a 10 lot of high priced talent sitting here spewing 11 what they spew. 12 I'm not a high priced talent. I'm 13 not a financial consultant. I'm just a guy 14 who's invested here for 20 years. I listened 15 to Dave Trevisani who I've known for 25 years 16 predating my time here in Scranton talk about 17 Scranton as a destination. 18 But in the same token he talked 19 about it's only going to get worse for 20 Scranton. You know what, I'll spare the 21 expletives. How much worse can it get than 22 having more business downtown, than having more 23 people downtown, than have more customers 24 downtown? I don't think that's getting worse. 25 I think that's getting better.  59 1 I submitted a letter to you folks 2 earlier today. I don't know if you got it. If 3 you didn't, I have copies here. And I'd like 4 to submit it for the record. But just some of 5 the questions that I have that I think have not 6 really been explored. You know, I've watched 7 that Parking Authority for the last nine years 8 that they have been involved. 9 And I asked myself, what's their 10 marketing plan? What's their business plan? 11 I've never -- I have residents downtown. I've 12 never seen an outreach from the Parking 13 Authority to any of those residents, never. 14 I've never seen a validation program to any 15 business down here to encourage people to park 16 in those garages. 17 But you know what I have seen? Over 18 the last nine years I've seen time after time 19 after time. I've seen budgets promised and 20 budgets broken. I've seen people come and say, 21 oh, my God, we need a couple more dollars only 22 to say we need a couple more dollars. 23 I heard the Covid excuse. No one 24 knows more about the Covid issue than I do. As 25 the owner and operator of Montage Mountain, I  60 1 was closed, closed making zero money. 2 Meanwhile the parking garages were open. They 3 were open. 4 You had residents here. You had 5 people here. You had everything here. What 6 was their excuse for not getting people in? 7 I'll tell you what their excuse was. 8 Their excuse was we're going to 9 charge you $92. We're going to charge you 10 $120. Meanwhile I've watched other lots -- 11 surface lots come up with $50. And they are 12 filled. You know what, the problem here today 13 is not how much can we charge. The problem 14 here today is a simple business problem, how do 15 we operate those garages efficiently. That's 16 the problem. 17 We have people who have never ever, 18 ever, up until nine years ago -- and I'm going 19 to tell you you could check it out for a fact. 20 Their only knowledge of a parking garage is 21 that they parked in one. You know what, I'm 22 not here to impugn any of them. I don't want 23 to do that. 24 But what I do want to do is I just 25 want to ask you to take a look at my questions,  61 1 take a look at my 40 years' worth of experience 2 and ask yourself do we have the answer to these 3 questions to make the decision to burden the 4 businesses, to burden the residents, to burden 5 the citizens with additional dollars just to 6 pay for somebody else's mistake? I think the 7 answer is no. But it's not mine to decide. 8 It's yours. Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Charlie. 10 I'll make sure they get a copy of your 11 questions. 12 MR. JEFFERSON: Thank you. 13 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening, 14 Council, Norma Jeffries. And I have to 15 thank -- was that Mr. Jefferson I guess that 16 spoke earlier because he said most of the 17 things that I was going to say. 18 I was looking for the backup data to 19 all of the slides that they had presented 20 earlier in caucus. I was looking for a balance 21 sheet to see their expenses today versus what 22 they are going to look like tomorrow. Are they 23 looking to cut any of their expenditures or is 24 it just us, the citizens of Scranton, who are 25 going to foot the additional bills.  62 1 And as a resident of Scranton, a 2 senior citizen of Scranton, I do come downtown 3 to use the facilities in town. I come to City 4 Hall here. And I go to over the county 5 building. So, of course, I never find a 6 parking space. So I have to pay. Until maybe 7 a couple years ago I would get a ticket. Well, 8 a ticket if you are overparked is $35. 9 So I said to myself, well, it's 10 better for me to go ahead and get the Pango. 11 And that way, at least I could stay in town or 12 be wherever I was without the fear of getting a 13 ticket. But when they talk tonight about the 14 fee, there is a fee for Pango. It's 25 cents, 15 a fee. 16 But when I looked at that I thought, 17 well, 25 cents versus a $35 ticket, it's better 18 to go ahead and use the credit card and go 19 ahead and go ahead and get -- pay for whatever 20 time I'm spending in town. So when I saw that 21 they were going to increase, I said, okay, 22 that's going to be another hit on my fixed 23 income. 24 And then I'm usually a regular 25 attendee at Council. So if you're going to  63 1 extend the hours to 7:00, that means another 2 two hours because I usually get here a little 3 early. So that means another two hours of 4 money that I'm going to have to pay in order to 5 attend City Council. 6 And the reason I attend City 7 Council, and the reason I attend City Council, 8 I want to be informed. I want to be informed 9 from my representatives of the city and not 10 read about it in the paper. I want to hear it 11 firsthand. 12 So that's why I come to City 13 Council. So, you know, raising the fee and, 14 you know, it's just going to be a burden. And 15 I just -- I'm appealing that you do not go 16 along with the increase and that you take us 17 senior citizens into consideration. Thank you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. 19 Anyone else? 20 MS. SCHUMACHER: I'll be short. My 21 name is Marie Schumacher. I am one of two 22 people who come down to a place in the city 23 and -- six days a week. And they are two 24 people and sometimes three that will not be 25 down here if you do what you are being asked to  64 1 do. Thank you. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 3 MS. SAUNDERS: Hi, good evening. 4 Thank you for allowing the time to have us all 5 voice our concerns. My name is Jen Saunders. 6 I am the owner of Northern Light Expresso Bar 7 and Cafe as well as the Little Wild Refillery 8 located on Biden Street. I also, after my 9 purchasing my first business became a downtown 10 resident because the love I have for this city. 11 Growing up in this area, the city 12 has changed so much. It is becoming extremely 13 vibrant, liveable. I walk the city streets 14 downtown at anytime night or day. I am very 15 safe. I feel very safe. I have met some of 16 the most wonderful people, whether it be 17 artists, other community, other business owners 18 that have become lifelong friends. 19 You heard earlier from a consumer, a 20 customer that said she may not come downtown to 21 purchase something at my business. That's one 22 customer. My businesses are very expensive to 23 run. If you'd like a balance sheet or a profit 24 or loss, I'm always happy to share it because 25 as someone else mentioned earlier, I don't own  65 1 a business to become rich. 2 I love people. I love my community. 3 And I love what I do. This is going to be 4 detrimental to my business, my customers, my 5 staff. I'll absorb what I can. We can't 6 always absorb it. If I have upgrades that need 7 to be done as the gentleman mentioned in his 8 presentation, I'm responsible for that. I'm 9 not putting that on my customers. 10 Although I did not come prepared to 11 speak after listening to his presentation, 12 there's some discrepancies. This needs to be 13 tabled. There are solutions upon solutions 14 upon solutions. Data, I'm not sure where they 15 are pulling it from. 16 But I will just give a very brief 17 experience. My business is in the Scranton 18 Life Building. Parking Authority, I could go 19 right around the corner. Seven years I've 20 owned the cafe, I have gone over numerous 21 times, can you tell me on a Monday afternoon 22 between the hours of 12 and 6 how much money do 23 you collect from my block? I'd like to pay it 24 and offer free parking. 25 They look at me like I have three  66 1 heads and tell me the data doesn't exist. 2 Baloney. Repeatedly, I have done this to try 3 to help my customers. And now to hear the 4 possibility of extensions where they have to 5 pay, especially on Saturdays, these businesses 6 we drive customers down here, whether it be any 7 time of the week; but, yes, on weekends. 8 That's when families can come down. 9 That's when some people are not working that 10 can't get there during the week. We need to 11 maintain the businesses that are there. And 12 this is going to be an extreme hardship. Thank 13 you for allowing me to speak. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 15 MR. BUSSART: Hi. My name is Eric 16 Bussart. I'm a local mural artist -- this one? 17 This one? 18 MR. SMURL: Yes. 19 MR. BUSSART: Hi. My name is Eric 20 Bussart. I'm a local artist -- mural artist. 21 One of the big things I love about murals is 22 that they encourage foot traffic and people to 23 get out and walk around downtown and that adds 24 to more, like, business for the local 25 businesses.  67 1 I think expanding these hours and 2 adding Saturday, I think it goes against that 3 goal. So I think you should really reconsider 4 doing that. I think especially the Saturday 5 one is really going to deter people from 6 leisurely walking around and maybe finding a 7 new business or a new place that they wouldn't 8 have otherwise found to go see. 9 I think it hurts the walkability of 10 the city. And lastly just sort of a left field 11 thing, but a little bit of a safety concern. A 12 lot of people go out to the bars on Friday, 13 and, you know, it's good peace of mind to know 14 you won't get a $25 ticket if you leave your 15 car. 16 You know, a lot people would feel 17 like I have to drive home. It might lead to an 18 uptick in DUIs and certain safety things. 19 Everything else pretty much everyone said way 20 more eloquently than I could. So I'll leave 21 you guys to it. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 23 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little, 20 24 year resident of Scranton. I have been 25 thinking about the government. There was a  68 1 short white Jewish artist who famously said 2 don't watch -- don't follow leaders, watch the 3 parking meters. And I think that is very 4 relevant for Scranton these days. 5 We're all talking about cars and 6 roads and places to put your car. And every 7 week I come here I get sidetracked because 8 everybody is talking about parking today. 9 Anyway, I've been looking at the -- I remember 10 when I was seven years old. I first heard 11 about Eddie who died was more famous than 12 Elvis. 13 Before Elvis he had this song that 14 had the lyrics, "Went to my Congressman. He 15 said, quote, like to help you, son, but you're 16 too young to vote." And like I went to my 17 Congressman. I have always been going to my 18 Congressman and wherever they are. I went to 19 Congressman Marty Flynn who I found out, oh, 20 he's not a Congressman anymore anyway, you 21 know, to talk about, you know, the food stamps 22 disappeared January 10th, last February. 23 And I'm sure it's just somebody in 24 Harrisburg who pushed a button right after the 25 election and said, all right, you know,  69 1 Lackawanna County can deal with it. You know, 2 no big deal and there's all of these excuses 3 just like there is with the parking meters and 4 with the homeless. 5 The homeless, my God, I picked up a 6 paper today, you know, city man robbed Turkey 7 Hill, and gives his address as like 9 Olive 8 Street which I know is the homeless shelter. 9 And then right next to it is man charged with 10 illegal possession of firearm and assault, you 11 know, and it starts a homeless man with 12 officers identified as a felon. 13 You know, this whole criminalization 14 of the homeless, it's been going on a long 15 time. I went and looked it up at the library. 16 And it just so happened that the date of my HUD 17 lease, my Scranton Housing Authority HUD lease 18 which was like February 6th, 1996, that was the 19 day and maybe a year or two before all the HUD 20 funds came. 21 That's the problem in this community 22 because people have gotten used to all of this 23 federal money coming in from Health and Human 24 Services, Department of Education and HUD. And 25 we set up a criminalization network, people  70 1 that will run Scranton Housing Authority, they 2 criminalize me, you know, they charged me for 3 an air conditioner that I didn't have and all 4 kinds of things. 5 And they were harassing me. No 6 privacy and she put me in front of a judge that 7 they were like this with and I get evicted. 8 And I appeal it and all of it is money. It 9 goes on forever, you know, charges for this, 10 charges for that, charges just to be in the 11 Court. 12 And what really got me in my 13 research today, it is that the amount of 14 housing units in Scranton Housing Authority is 15 basically the same now as it was in 1996 or 16 even 1990 going back. And the weird thing is, 17 you know, like last week the subject was, you 18 know, the mission shelter and, you know, there 19 is only 20 beds for the homeless in Scranton. 20 There's so much air is wasted on the 21 homeless are littering, the homeless are 22 trespassing, the homeless are doing this and 23 that. But, you know, Marty Flynn's office -- 24 guy, what do you expect, an investigation? 25 Yeah, there should be an investigation on a lot  71 1 of things. 2 You know, when Scranton Housing 3 Authority buys -- we're talking about local 4 businesses. They buy their cleaning products 5 from New York State and I'm walking around. I 6 see all of these cleaning product businesses 7 here. The place has to come together where the 8 people in the community are supporting other 9 people in the community. And Scranton Housing 10 Authority has to be taken by back by the City 11 of Scranton. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 13 GLORIA: Hi, my name is Gloria. I 14 own Frank's News downtown. I took over in 15 June, 2006 -- June, 2019. I took over in June, 16 five months and Covid hit. So after my -- my 17 husband is a contractor. I used to be a Rite 18 Aid shift supervisor. So I work in retail. 19 So Jerry Frank, everybody knows him 20 in town. He wanted to sell the business. So 21 my husband asked me do you want to do your own 22 business, I'll get the business for you. So I 23 got the business in 2000 -- June, 2019, five 24 months Covid hit after we put in all our money. 25 I love the City of Scranton. During  72 1 Covid I actually took a picture of the city and 2 you could actually hear the flag go by. It was 3 like a ghost town. So I see businesses suffer 4 in the city during Covid. 5 And I just see and now all the new 6 buildings, apartments and stuff, new business, 7 everything coming to life. And it's so 8 beautiful to see everything coming to life from 9 all -- what the city have actually gone 10 through. It's nice to see all these buildings, 11 restaurants, nail salon. It's like we're 12 getting back to life. 13 And Thursday night, Friday night, 14 Saturdays are the busiest day in the city for 15 businesses. People come to the city because 16 during -- more people come to town because 17 during this time they don't have to worry about 18 parking. 19 So if they extend the hours, these 20 people are going to get business to Dickson 21 City or Clarks Summit where they don't have to 22 deal with parking. I'm never here. But this 23 really got me. And especially for the old 24 people, because I was here since 2019, most of 25 my customers are old folks.  73 1 And once they put in that parking 2 machine meter, I seen some of them not come to 3 town anymore because they are so confused. So 4 many times I went out to help people with the 5 meter because I feel bad for them. 6 And some of these old people decide 7 to come to town only on Saturdays and Sundays 8 because then they don't have to deal with the 9 meters. So now I feel like it's getting taken 10 away from them. So the only day that they come 11 to town, this meter is going to take away from 12 the old people. You guys have the power to 13 stop this. 14 So I'm hear to ask you, please have 15 favor for the old folks and have favor for the 16 businesses that customers -- some of our 17 customers only come on Saturdays because they 18 don't have to deal with the parking. 19 Please look into it and see what you 20 could do. If this is going to continue maybe 21 you could at least maybe you get some kind of 22 voucher or something for the customers and also 23 for the old folks when they come eating during 24 the weekends, you know, so they don't have to 25 worry about parking.  74 1 Please, you guys look into it. This 2 really bothers plea. It's not good for 3 businesses. Everybody is here. Scranton is 4 getting -- it's getting more vibrant, 5 everything, more cars, Saturdays nights, Friday 6 night, Thursday. It's like no parking. 7 Everybody is in town. Once the time 8 gets extended, all of that is going to dwindle 9 away. People are going to avoid the city and 10 go to Dickson City. They don't have to deal 11 with that. It's getting back because at night 12 because they don't have to deal with this 13 parking. 14 Once the parking comes, it's done. 15 It's going to go down again. And it's going to 16 affect businesses. I'm here talking because I 17 really love this city. And from what we 18 experience in Covid, I see the light again. 19 And I'm so scared it's going to get taken away. 20 That's why I'm here today as 21 somebody that loves the city and somebody that 22 owns a business in Scranton. Please, guys, do 23 something about it for us. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.  75 1 MOTIONS. 2 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you 3 have any motions or comments? 4 MR. SCHUSTER: I do have a few 5 motions and comments. Last week I spoke on 6 some of my concerns about this -- about the 7 parking deal. And what I heard tonight was 8 what my concerns were. I'm going to save what 9 I'm going say about the parking for on the 10 question. 11 I'm going to move in to Fifth Order 12 and then when we get into Sixth Order I'll talk 13 about my feelings on parking. 14 So just switching gears, one of the 15 biggest complaints I'm getting at this point in 16 time as the winter ended and spring came and 17 now we're into summer is the conditions of our 18 roads. I think we need a couple updates on 19 some things. 20 And, Mr. Voldenberg, if we could 21 send to the administration can we get an update 22 on the pothole portal, how many have been 23 reported, by whom, whether they're citizens, 24 employees, etc., what percent have been filled, 25 how many are pending, what's the turnaround  76 1 time because this is -- this is the concern 2 that's coming in the most at this point for me. 3 And when speaking to DPW, they're saying the 4 same. 5 Also, again, conditions on the 6 roads, now we're six months into our new pave 7 cut process if we can just get an update where 8 are we at with the pave cut procedures, where 9 we're at with inspections. I know we've gotten 10 several very good examples of pave cuts that 11 need inspections, how that process occurs with 12 those inspectors and where we are with our 13 procedures and how we're doing with citations 14 for those utilities that are not keeping the 15 pave cuts drivable. 16 Another update, where we're at with 17 DPW negotiations, we haven't heard anything in 18 several weeks, so if we could get an update on 19 that. And then another one, where are we with 20 Rubicon if we could get an update on that since 21 the new deal has gone through. 22 Are we using less trucks, are we 23 using more trucks, are official decisions being 24 made, are we utilizing optimized routes at this 25 point in time? And when it comes to  77 1 maintenance of vehicles, are we avoiding 2 maintenance issues with vehicles because 3 they're being picked up by that system? 4 As I said -- well, you know, one 5 more thing. For Les Spindler, I did ask last 6 week about the Tripp Park stormwater project. 7 Thank you, Mr. Voldenberg, for sending that 8 through as it relates to those areas of Bulwer 9 and Hawthorne Street that are experiencing very 10 parallel issues where the water is not staying 11 on roads beyond the curb and it's coming 12 straight down the sidewalks. 13 The answer I got back was that 14 preconstruction meetings for the project is 15 going to occur on July 8th. I imagine that's a 16 meeting only with the city. It's not a public 17 meeting. So if we can just clarify whether 18 that's -- do we know if that's a public -- it's 19 not a public meeting. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: It's not public, 21 but I'll clarify for you: 22 MR. SCHUSTER: So the city 23 administration is going to have a 24 preconstruction meeting for the project on July 25 8th. And then after July 8th they will be  78 1 establishing what will be occurring afterwards 2 on that -- on the stormwater projects there in 3 Tripp Park and in North Scranton. 4 And that is all for tonight. I'll 5 save my comments on the parking for Sixth 6 Order. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 8 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 9 comments? 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First 11 off, and I believe it was brought up tonight 12 about on 307, the Lookout that's there. I have 13 been asking for updates and asked a followup 14 question last week that I received a response 15 to. 16 So I was looking for more of a plan 17 and a timeline as to some of the repairs that 18 need to be made over there. I do want to thank 19 Councilman Smurl for helping to clean up the 20 area. I did see the pictures and it was a big 21 difference. I do want to find out how do we 22 get the city to continue to maintain that so it 23 doesn't end up looking that way again. 24 And but what I was told is that the 25 Lookout wall is with the City Engineers. It's  79 1 a historic wall above a steep hill. And 2 repairs must be done by professionals at this 3 time. So the engineers will have to prioritize 4 projects related to stormwater and roadway 5 repair and will address the Lookout when able. 6 So that is all the update that I have for that, 7 but we will stay on it. 8 We also have been receiving 9 followups -- followup complaints regarding the 10 feral cat concerns on Golden Avenue. And 11 apparently the neighbors were told that no cats 12 are going to be trapped or removed due to 13 limited resources. 14 So I would like to ask from Animal 15 Control what those limited resources are, how 16 we could -- how we could rectify this if there 17 is anything that we could do on our part to 18 ensure that the cats are able to be taken care 19 of in that neighborhood and others that are -- 20 that are having this condition. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 22 it. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you, Mr. 24 Voldenberg. And then I also don't believe I 25 received a response yet from the DPW. But last  80 1 week I discussed some of the road conditions as 2 a result of the storm about two weeks ago that 3 really tore up the areas of Pine Street and 4 East Gibson Street around the hospitals that 5 are down there. 6 And there's still the same 7 barricades that are there and nothing's been 8 done to them yet. And I even took pictures 9 myself to send in because -- and other 10 residents have sent in pictures too. It's 11 really in terrible shape on a number of those 12 blocks. 13 So if we could press them for 14 another answer on what we'll be doing to repair 15 that and when. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. We're 17 waiting on a date for repair on Pine Street and 18 East Gibson. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 20 And lastly, I know that we'll discuss this more 21 in the legislation that's on the agenda 22 tonight. But I do want to say I'm appreciative 23 of all those who showed up tonight to discuss 24 their concerns, whether it's business owners or 25 residents of downtown regarding the potential  81 1 for parking changes. 2 And, you know, appreciate all 3 the -- of the points that were made. I believe 4 the last speaker really discussed about 5 vibrancy of downtown. I love that too. I 6 think there's nothing better than being down 7 here on like a First Friday during the 8 summertime. 9 And there's always so much to do 10 coinciding with that. And I love the feel of 11 our downtown and I'm down here often as well 12 supporting businesses. So I, you know, 13 certainly don't want to see businesses suffer. 14 And listening to all the different suggestions 15 tonight, I have some suggestions I would like 16 to make as well. But we'll discuss further as 17 the legislation comes up. That's all that I 18 have. Thank you. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 20 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 21 MR. MCANDREW: I have a couple 22 comments. So I will also speak regarding the 23 parking legislation as we read it or on the 24 question. But I want the public to know that 25 it's not just one resolution or one ordinance  82 1 approving everything we talked about. 2 No, this is going to be broken down. 3 So there's going to be an ordinance to approve 4 the amended and reinstated concession lease 5 agreements. That's all that was pretty much 6 talked about tonight. All right, that itself 7 is going to be extending time, extending the 8 weekends, increase costs, all right. 9 That's to approve and amend the 10 concession agreement to 2070, right. So then 11 there's also going to be a motion -- or a 12 resolution for transfer of the Parking 13 Authority assets and liability to the city. 14 What that means -- and it's embedded 15 in all the legislation we got is, at the end of 16 the term of the agreement we get the assets 17 back, meaning the four garages, all right. So 18 we have to vote on that. We don't have to vote 19 on all of these or be happy about all of these. 20 I just want to make it clear. And 21 then also, another resolution pretty much the 22 same thing transferring the parking garage 23 titles to the city. All of this has to be in 24 resolution form or just the ordinance, okay? 25 And then a resolution of all the bonds to be  83 1 issued tax exempt and then another ordinance to 2 modify the rate schedule. 3 All right, so I just want the public 4 to know we're not voting on one thing tonight. 5 It's the whole ball of wax. I think that's 6 what people are concerned about, half the 7 people that came and talked. So with that 8 said, I'll talk on each item as the motion is 9 made. 10 So I need to report out a couple 11 things that I asked. And I finally got some 12 answers. So I asked about the city 13 administration please update Council regarding 14 the pave cut and pothole repair process to 15 date. 16 Mr. Schuster just touched on it 17 which is great. You know, we -- they started 18 this new process months ago. And it's supposed 19 to be more streamlined. So I asked that 20 question, you know, where are we at. And 21 because, you know, there's not a week that goes 22 by that someone doesn't bring it up in Fourth 23 Order or text me or call me or I encounter 24 myself driving here. 25 So how many old pave cuts in the  84 1 city have been addressed and repaired. That's 2 an issue -- it's an issue with Mr. Spindler. 3 He's been looking at the same problem for 4 years. And that was my concern too. They're 5 Johnny on the spot on the new ones. I've seen 6 that. Like I said, the one near Gerrity's next 7 to my house looks like it should be in 8 Wikipedia. It's perfect, but the rest of them 9 are not or even the older ones. 10 So I want to know where we are with 11 that. So as of June 27th, DPW has repaired 132 12 potholes reported through Scranton Pothles dot 13 com. The city has addressed all issues 14 identified. It's estimated that nearly 100 15 instances of prior year's work have been 16 investigated to date. 17 So the prior years work, she 18 referring to the pave cuts or whoever sent 19 this. But I think some of these are older like 20 Mr. Spindler. You know, we can't -- we have to 21 look at all of them. And it says these have 22 been identified through Mayor Cognetti, Pave 23 Cut Inspector, City Council, resident 24 complaints, city staff. 25 Well, we know that because we bring  85 1 them forward. We know where we are at with 2 that. So locations and reports are then 3 crosschecked with prior year permits on PA One 4 Calls to find the entity responsible. 5 If a permit wasn't submitted in the 6 given year, they will be required to submit a 7 permit in the new system. Companies have been 8 responsive and frequently repair the work with 9 very short turnaround. 10 So I don't know if this is working. 11 They're trying to make it sound like it's 12 working, but it doesn't appear it's really 13 working yet and for the residents that I talk 14 to. All right, so we got to keep our eye on 15 that. 16 Then -- so also regarding potholes, 17 so, you know, it was -- it wasn't clear because 18 I asked this prior -- I have potholes almost 19 every week. It's exhausting. But I remember 20 asking because hearing, you know, living here 21 long enough, 62 years, I remember that people 22 used to get reimbursed for damaged cars and 23 mufflers and tires. 24 I just remember it. And then I was 25 told, no, you have to go after utilities. But  86 1 then I asked again. And then they actually 2 said that -- that you had -- that you could 3 submit -- they said you could file a claim with 4 legal in the city. 5 And I said, well, that's great. I 6 said I know it now, but the rest of the world 7 needs to know it. So I said could you please 8 put it somewhere on the website so it's 9 accessible where people are aware of it. And 10 all they said was noted. So noted, so I don't 11 know if they are going to do. So we'll follow 12 up on that too. All right. 13 Then so 126 South Webster Avenue I 14 don't think it's part of the bridgework that's 15 going on down there. But there's three 16 barricades on the street that separate -- I 17 don't know. I only got a picture. I didn't 18 take a ride by. 19 But one looks like it's from me to 20 Norma. And then it looks like another one's 21 the same distance and another one. And also, 22 the same alley behind that has another 23 barricade. And it's the whole width of the 24 street. 25 And, you know what, I don't know to  87 1 be honest -- I wasn't sure if I told the 2 gentleman who called me I said I'll bring it up 3 because I don't know what's going on there. I 4 thought it was some type of bridgework. 5 But it goes right to his property 6 line. And his concerns are, you know, first of 7 all, garbage and recycling pickup. But his 8 bigger concerns are when the weather starts 9 getting, you know, cold and snowy and ice, 10 how's that truck going to get back there and 11 plow, especially in the alley because it's 12 totally bar -- one end is barricaded. 13 So how are they going to get down 14 there? It's a hill, you know, plow, ice, 15 pickup route after pickup and then have to back 16 it up uphill to get out of there. It looks 17 like a nightmare. And I agree with him. So he 18 would like to know is there a solution prior to 19 the weather hitting. He's concerned about it. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll find out. 21 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Then I 22 know, you know, there's a big push to have 23 broadband everywhere, you know, and replacing 24 broadband in the state and the country and a 25 big push for it.  88 1 So I know the city has been talking 2 about it. But I received a concern on a 3 property in Tripp Park KOZ, right, so 4 everything is underground for them. They don't 5 have telephone poles. And the resident 6 received a letter from Astound, right, it's the 7 internet company. 8 And I know it's part of the, you 9 know, the broadband project. I know there's 10 another one too. But, you know, she just 11 wanted to confirm this is a provider. And I 12 know what it is, but her concern was -- and she 13 got a little chart in the mail. And it says 14 like white paint. 15 I know we talked about it a couple, 16 maybe a month ago what the color paint means on 17 the record, if it's purple, if it's yellow, is 18 it the gas company, is it the water company. 19 Well, this had a little color chart. It said 20 white. So the white paint is proposed 21 excavation on her property. 22 But she said it's sprayed all over 23 her yard. I mean, I don't know how far -- how 24 much farther these lines are supposed to be put 25 down for the broadband, but she's concerned,  89 1 first of all, does she have to have it? Can 2 she say no? It's her property, right, I don't 3 know. 4 And that's a good question. And the 5 way the lines were painted in her yard, it's 6 like under very beautiful matured landscaping 7 and shrubbery that will be affected by it. And 8 the line is like running towards where it would 9 go underneath her concrete driveway. 10 So and she tried reaching out to the 11 city with no response. And she called the 12 internet company with no response. So could 13 you please help us out? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Our city 15 planner should have information on that. 16 MR. MCANDREW: All right, please 17 relay that to him. All right. Thank you. No, 18 I think that's it. Thank you. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: I did have something. 21 Real quick on our -- the pave cuts, we had the 22 one on -- like I said, there was several good 23 examples lately, one on Court Street that's 24 new. The one on Bulwer is new as well. It's 25 only I'd say a month or two old and then the  90 1 one on 7th Ave. 2 But there was also the one on 3 Clearview that we got several messages from I 4 think it was the 1800 block of Clearview. The 5 work has stopped if we can just get an update 6 on what's occurring with that one on Clearview. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: And I did add you 9 into an e-mail, Frank, just so you know, 10 Jessica said she didn't -- I don't know if she 11 didn't get an update on the Lookout and I know 12 Mr. Smurl's probably going to talk about, but 13 some members of the DPW did reach out to me 14 that were bricklayers for over 30 years. 15 They said they approached some of 16 the supervisors possibly about the DPW taking 17 on that work and they would be happy to do it. 18 So I did send a followup e-mail today as well 19 on the same topic. So if we could see what the 20 supervisor's opinions are of our own DPW having 21 bricklaying experience and concrete experience 22 to do that work and get those repairs done at 23 our own Lookout. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 25 MR. SMURL: Okay. I guess I'll  91 1 continue on the Lookout since it was brought up 2 earlier. There were a group volunteers that 3 went up Sunday and cleaned it because of the 4 last five weeks of endless complaints about the 5 Lookout. 6 So I know there's been a lot of 7 problems with walls also. And also Parks and 8 Recs are supposed to maintain that area up 9 there. But in the summertime when the rain 10 starts and the heat starts and everything 11 starts to grow again, that entire place just 12 gets overgrown quickly. 13 And Parks and Recs -- it's very thin 14 manpower because the pool is open so they lose 15 men to the pools, to splash pads and stuff. So 16 they can't keep up with everything that they 17 normally keep up with in the summertime. 18 I know they hire extra help in the 19 summertime. But they are a lot of young, you 20 know, people doing that. So they don't really 21 get as much done as they would want to get 22 done. So the thing is, we went up and cleaned 23 it again. 24 And there are -- the entire thing 25 about this is, people say you're taking work  92 1 off of union employees. Now, no one is being 2 laid off in Parks and Rec or the DPW. There is 3 constant overtime there. There is all the 4 overtime they could want. 5 And these are all volunteers that go 6 out and just try to clean -- clean this up and 7 make the city just look better and be a lot 8 cleaner and safer for everyone. So that's 9 done. And while we were there, we did take 10 pictures just to see all of the damage. 11 There are about 30 sections at the 12 top that are missing stones. But the problem 13 with the stones are, every stone that's 14 missing, it looks like it was thrown over the 15 back wall, which drops about 30 feet straight 16 down. 17 So for our DPW to go up there now 18 this time of the year where the brush is 19 really, really thick up behind there, it's 20 almost impossible to get in there right now. I 21 think a better time would be in the fall to get 22 them out. 23 And our DPW right now is working on 24 all the stormwater projects that the pipes that 25 were blocked, all the storm drains were blocked  93 1 in Keyser Valley. 2 They are all over there on all that 3 work. So I don't see them coming to this 4 quickly. So we did look. It doesn't seem to 5 be any foundation problems. But I know I sent 6 this to the administration. 7 They gave it to the City Engineer 8 and they will deal with that if the DPW can 9 handle that, that's great. But I know right 10 now at this point there's not enough time for 11 them to do that. So if that does become 12 available, I'm sure that they will go up and do 13 it. 14 And then the last thing I have is 15 on July 4th of 2026, the United States will 16 celebrate it's 150th anniversary of the signing 17 of the Declaration of Independence. So last 18 Friday, I was at the Scranton Raiders, 4th of 19 July ceremony at Nay Aug Park. 20 And before that, I was speaking with 21 the Sam Kuchwara about bringing in the Veterans 22 Memorial Wall. And I was told that it's 23 updated. There are new sections. And there's 24 a lot of new things to it. So we did some 25 information.  94 1 I got all of this information from 2 Mr. Kuchwara about bringing this in. It seems 3 it's about $15,000 to bring it in for 4 our -- and I think this is something that the 5 city should sponsor for our veterans. 6 So I did ask the administration 7 about adding this to the budget for this year. 8 And I'm going ask our Council members if 9 everybody is okay with this that I would send 10 this back down to the administration and ask 11 them to put this in our budget for next year 12 so that we could get started on it because it 13 takes an entire year of planning to get this 14 done. 15 So if we get it in now or in the 16 next month, I believe we could get this 17 sometime in August of next year. I think it's 18 a great year -- time to have this for our 19 veterans, our 250th anniversary. So I'll ask 20 Council members -- 21 MR. MCANDREW: Absolutely. 22 Fantastic. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 24 MR. SMURL: Jessica, are you -- 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.  95 1 MR. SMURL: Tom? 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 3 MR. SMURL: So all Council is 4 agreeable, I will send this back down to the 5 administration to our Mayor and Eileen Cipriani 6 and ask them to place this in next year's 7 budget so we could get moving on it. 8 It does require a large deposit. So 9 they also said they would take care of that as 10 long as Council all agree with it and we do. 11 So that's a really nice thing to do for our 12 veterans. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

SMURL: You've heard reading by 11 title of Item 6-D. What is your pleasure? 12 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Chairman, I move 13 that Item 6-D pass reading by title. 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 15 MR. SMURL: On the question? All 16 those -- 17 MR. SCHUSTER: So on the question, 18 back in 2012 when the default happened and then 19 2016 when the monetization happened, the 20 monetization was, you know, considered one of 21 the first steps of revitalization in the City 22 of Scranton. 23 And I feel this rate -- the rate 24 increase plus the extension of hours plus the 25 addition of Saturdays, goes against that  103 1 revitalization. It defeats that purpose. We 2 heard tonight many arguments for several 3 different things which were my concerns last 4 week, how it affects businesses, how it affects 5 college students, how it affects those on a 6 fixed income. 7 And they're going to go back to the 8 table and see if we could get any concessions 9 from this concession. I hope that they do 10 that. I hope a message gets sent from Council 11 tonight when they go to speak with them to come 12 back and to be supporting our businesses and 13 our residents and those on fixed incomes in the 14 City of Scranton and help with the continued 15 revitalization of the City of Scranton. 16 I hope those concessions can be 17 made. And I hope we could move forward with 18 that. 19 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? All right. 20 Good. All those in favor -- 21 MR. MCANDREW: No, no, no, not good. 22 All right. I'm going to summarize what I said 23 in caucus and again what I said in fifth. This 24 piece of legislation is separate than all the 25 others, all right? But this piece of  104 1 legislation I have a problem with. 2 And the problem I have with it is 3 that weekend piece. All right. I didn't see 4 one person come up to that podium tonight and 5 say they were in favor of it, right? I was 6 thrilled, like I said, in caucus to see and 7 have a common denominator, this whole room was 8 caring for the residents and supporting them 9 and supporting -- and cherishing their 10 customers. 11 Guess what, it's not -- it's not, 12 you know how expensive it is to do business in 13 the City of Scranton and they chose to come 14 here and open businesses, you know, and some 15 are residents. And then to have this extra 16 burden put on them because of the weekends, I 17 just see it's a deterrent. 18 I mean, we heard from everybody. 19 And they should know. They're the business 20 owners. I believe them. I take them at their 21 word, right? They're the ones that know how 22 they would be affected. 23 So with that said -- but also, at 24 the end of the day, we can't let this default 25 the agreement. So they have to come up with a  105 1 better plan because if they default, it comes 2 back to us. And guess what, the city -- the 3 city couldn't do it in 2016. They couldn't 4 handle parking garages or -- and deal with it. 5 They went into default. 6 Christ, they can't even handle the 7 potholes we bring up every week. How are they 8 going to deal with parking spaces and garages. 9 No, I'm not trying to be mean. But that's the 10 reality. I'm a realist. So I don't know if I 11 should just table this, make a motion to table 12 until maybe Mr. King is back, until maybe we 13 get some answers. 14 But I think that's the right move 15 right now is to -- so with that said, I'm going 16 to make a motion to table this piece of 17 legislation. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll second that. 19 MR. SMURL: We have a motion to 20 table and a second. Yes. 21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: -- the rules, a 22 tie vote defeats a motion just so you're all 23 aware of that going into your vote. If it's a 24 tie, the motion to table goes down and then you 25 have to vote the original motion.  106 1 MR. SMURL: So a tie fails. 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: A tie fails just so 3 you're aware. 4 MR. SMURL: So do you want a roll 5 call or just -- 6 MR. MCANDREW: Do a roll call. 7 MR. SMURL: Do a roll call. 8 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I would suggest a 9 roll call would be appropriate in this 10 circumstance. 11 MR. SMURL: Yes, okay. 12 DR. ROTHCHILD: I would like to 13 first speak on the question, on the question 14 the motion to table but also on the question 15 for the legislation. So I -- like I said 16 earlier, I appreciate the concerns that were 17 brought forth. And I had concerns of my own 18 too and other questions that had come up. 19 And in addition to what they are 20 going to reconsider or bring back to the table 21 to the bondholders for the days and hours, 22 there were a couple of other things that were 23 important to me, important considerations. 24 First, I understand the need for the 25 debt refinancing. But I want to make sure some  107 1 of these other concerns can be addressed as 2 well. First, as I mentioned during caucus, I 3 really want to see a hard stop for payment 4 after hours so that were not accepting money. 5 I feel like it's deceptive to people 6 who may not even be residents or outside of the 7 area who are visiting and are not aware of 8 parking hours for us to continue accepting 9 payment at the kiosk. 10 I also want to see of a detailed 11 explanation for what employees would be 12 enforcing the new hours and what -- factoring 13 in that cost as well to pay those employees and 14 making sure that they can enforce throughout -- 15 throughout the city. 16 Also, I know that we previously had 17 less of a cost for tickets if they were paid 18 within a certain time period, like, say the 19 first 24 or 48 hours rather than it be $35, 20 maybe incentivizing people to pay their tickets 21 when they receive them so that they don't put 22 them off. 23 So I'd like to see a consideration 24 for that. Obviously we need better maintenance 25 of the kiosk. We have been asking about that  108 1 for a long time now. I previously asked for 2 data on how many kiosks are down per day. I 3 think I was told it was one percent or 4 something but never really saw like the proof 5 to back that up. 6 And from what people are talking 7 about, it just has always seemed like more than 8 that because of the frequency with which the 9 kiosks are not working or even if there is 10 glitches where they are not accepting certain 11 forms of payment, that's problematic and 12 especially for people to have to go to multiple 13 kiosks. 14 I also in the past asked for just 15 better education of the public about use of the 16 kiosk, say for our elderly people who are more 17 confused by how to pay on it and how to operate 18 that -- that screen. And that's not something 19 that I've really seen. 20 And so it sounds like people still 21 do have a lot of confusion around how to use 22 the kiosk. And if they can't use the kiosk, 23 they're certainly not going to download the 24 Pango app. They might not have the savvy to do 25 that. And another thing for incentivizing  109 1 parking in our garages at least for those 2 long-term parkers that we're looking to move 3 off the street during those -- during those 4 hours would like to see discounts for students 5 or for downtown residents or for businesses. 6 I know the idea of vouchers was 7 brought up too. At the Marketplace they do 8 vouchers for their parking. You could get them 9 stamped when you go inside somewhere. So I 10 think we could be a lot more creative around 11 that. 12 I think that would take some of the 13 pressure off businesses if the hours were to be 14 extended or our rates were to be increased. So 15 sorry that was lengthy, but those were some 16 important things that I had wanted to make sure 17 to get out prior to this. 18 With regards to the motion to table, 19 I know they are going to bring back -- I don't 20 know how regularly they could get responses. 21 Because this is in Sixth Order, I'd be okay 22 with letting it go to Seventh. But I will not 23 vote for it next week if we don't have the 24 answers that are needed and on these important 25 points that I brought up as well and not  110 1 totally confident that it will happen within 2 that period of time. But would still like to 3 give them that time to do that. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: So I would just like 5 to say one more thing. In 2016 when this deal 6 was made, NDC was quoted as saying the city is 7 going to retain ownership and we're going to be 8 participating in key decisionmaking with the 9 whole deal. 10 This is one of those key decisions 11 that needs to be made. I do think we need to 12 think of our residents and our businesses in 13 Scranton. And again, it was considered the 14 first step in revitalization after all the 15 financial difficulty of those years. 16 It's part of the reason I'm involved 17 today was trying to get out of those 18 troublesome -- some of those years. And I 19 don't want it to be forgotten that we have 20 helped with this deal in the past. This is 21 something that we do want to see. 22 Council has helped this organization 23 run the parking garages. So it's something 24 we've helped with in the past. And I don't 25 want that to be forgotten. But we are a key  111 1 decisionmaker in this. I don't -- if you'd 2 like to rescind your second or if we'd like to 3 just move forward with our roll call. 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: There was a motion 5 and second. You're now on the question of 6 tabling the motion. So now it's -- if 7 everybody is done speaking on it, you could 8 vote to table. 9 MR. MCANDREW: I'm ready to vote to 10 table unless you want to say something. 11 MR. SMURL: I'm going to say 12 something. And, of course, so I just want to 13 say that this isn't something that started 14 today. This started back in 2012 when the City 15 Council back then decided not to pay debt 16 obligations of the Parking Authority. 17 And that destroyed our credit rating 18 back then. I certainly don't want to see that 19 happen again. This restructures the parking 20 system. It includes dissolving the Parking 21 Authority that really doesn't do much. It 22 gives us that money to dump back into the 23 garages for repairs. 24 It avoids a financial default. And 25 it reduces the debt by 15 million dollars.  112 1 That 15 million dollars is a hit that the 2 bondholders are going to take, not us. And we 3 are not borrowing the money. They are. We 4 really are not responsible for that. 5 But we are going to get the actual 6 structures back which we don't have right now. 7 We do own the parking meters and kiosks and 8 stuff. But we don't own the structures. But I 9 certainly don't want to hold this up at all. 10 And they are going to come back hopefully in a 11 few days with the answer. 12 The only part that I don't like is 13 the total Saturday parking and charging for 14 parking on Saturday. I do understand the 15 parking Monday through Friday to extend it. 16 And I have spoken to restaurant owners 17 downtown. 18 And they feel that the parking -- if 19 I live -- say in the Forum and I decided to -- 20 I come home from work at 5:00 and I park 21 downtown because I don't want to pay the fee 22 for the garage, so I'll park downtown. So my 23 car or my vehicle is in that spot until 24 tomorrow morning and it's there for free. 25 Now, if, you know, you have a lot of  113 1 people doing that, you're going to take a lot 2 of spots for restaurants, for the bars, for the 3 places that are open in the evening. So the 4 whole idea of that is to eliminate those 5 vehicles from being there. 6 Now, I certainly believe that Car 7 Park should get into the some kind of agreement 8 with parkers that would put their vehicles away 9 at night that actually live downtown. They 10 would have to go through the owners of the 11 buildings or however they did it. 12 But I believe that would be 13 something that they should look into. But the 14 entire day on Saturday I do have a problem 15 with. So that is all I have to say. So this 16 will be a vote on tabling. 17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Tabling 6-D. 18 MR. SMURL: Tabling 6-D. I'm sorry. 19 It is 6-D, correct? 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes. 21 MR. SMURL: Roll call, please. 22 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 24 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: No to table.  114 1 MS. CARRERA: Mr. McAndrew. 2 MR. MCANDREW: Yes. 3 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Smurl. 4 MR. SMURL: No. 5 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So the motion to 6 table fails. Now you have the motion on the 7 underlying 6-D legislation. 8 MR. SMURL: So we will vote on 6-D. 9 Do you also want to do this -- 10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I would like to 11 point out as well since you do have a tie and 12 this is unusual for us, besides a tie vote 13 failing, if a motion is to be brought back by 14 way of a motion to reconsider, the individual 15 who makes the motions to reconsider, must have 16 been on the prevailing side of the vote that 17 denied it. 18 MR. SMURL: Okay. You're going to 19 have to -- a little louder. 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So if a motion 21 fails, the only person that could bring a 22 motion to reconsider that motion is somebody 23 who was on the side that won below. So in 24 others words, they had to vote no. 25 MR. SMURL: Okay.  115 1 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Right, if it's a 2 tie, that motion cannot come back. 3 MR. SMURL: Yes. 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Which means we will 5 be in theory putting the city in jeopardy of a 6 default. 7 MR. SMURL: Yes. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Is there a timeline 9 on that, Mr. Gilbride? 10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: There's no 11 timeline. It can't be done because it's a tie 12 vote. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: There is no timeline. 14 That's it. It fails. It fails for a -- 15 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Motion fails. And 16 it can't be brought back by way of 17 reconsideration because there was a tie. A tie 18 fails. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Gotcha. 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: So it would be -- I 21 mean, in essence, I guess the tie people who 22 voted no could bring it back. They could -- 23 whoever voted no could ask for a motion to 24 reconsider. 25 MR. MCANDREW: So the table would  116 1 have been a more reasonable vote. So now we 2 have to go back to the original motion. And if 3 I vote no and Schuster votes no, it fails. 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It fails. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: And one of us would 6 have to bring it back. 7 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah. Silly. This 8 is nonsense. 9 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It's the rules. 10 MR. SMURL: All right. So we want 11 to vote on 6-D. Do you want a roll call or do 12 you just want aye or nay? 13 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, you're -- so 14 it would be easier but you're probably going to 15 have to do it anyway. But ordinarily on this 16 Section 6 you vote ayes or nays, which the 17 President then decides whether he felt it 18 was -- it passed or it failed. 19 If that was disagreed with, the 20 Board -- the members who voted the opposite way 21 could challenge that and then you would have to 22 do a roll call anyway. So it's up to you how 23 you want to do it. If you want to put another 24 layer in there, you could do that. 25 MR. SMURL: So it will be -- it will  117 1 be safer to do a roll call. 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, you'll know 3 for certain. 4 MR. SMURL: Okay. Then we will do 5 the roll call. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: And then, 7 Mr. Gilbride, if concessions are made and we 8 decide to bring it up, is there a timeline to 9 bring it back? 10 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, this is all 11 based upon the funding, right? So that's the 12 problem with delaying on bonds. What the 13 interest rate is today, it's not going to be 14 tomorrow. So that's why the urgency when it 15 comes to bond deals. 16 So is there a timeline, well, there 17 is no legal timeline. But the timeline is what 18 if at sometime it becomes unworth -- 19 MR. SCHUSTER: And if it affects -- 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, and that's 21 not my expertise. I can't tell you anything 22 about that. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Understood. 24 MR. SMURL: Okay. 25 MS. CARRERA: So it's 6-D to pass  118 1 reading by title. 2 ATTY. GILBRIDE: 6-D. 3 MS. CARRERA: To pass reading by 4 title. 5 ATTY. GILBRIDE: To pass reading by 6 title. 7 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: No. 9 MS. CARRERA: Dr. Rothchild. 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 11 MS. CARRERA: Mr. McAndrew. 12 MR. MCANDREW: No. 13 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Smurl. 14 MR. SMURL: Yes. So that motion 15 also fails. Mr. Gilbride? 16 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That fails. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: 6-E. READING BY 18 TITLE - FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 85, 2025 - AN 19 ORDINANCE - AMENDING FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 20 91, 2002 "AN ORDINANCE (AS AMENDED) PROVIDING 21 FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PARKING METER ZONES 22 WITHIN THE CITY OF SCRANTON; ESTABLISHING HOURS 23 OF OPERATION; PROVIDING FOR THE INSTALLATION OF 24 METERS AND PARKING METER RATES; AUTHORIZING THE 25 ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING ORDINANCES AND PROVIDING  119 1 PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS THEREFOR BY AMENDING 2 SECTION 3(A) TO REFLECT THE CHANGE IN HOURLY 3 RATES", AS AMENDED BY FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 4 41, 2016 AND FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 67, 2019, 5 TO AUTHORIZE AN INCREASE IN CERTAIN METERED 6 PARKING FEES, AN EXTENSION OF THE HOURS OF 7 METERED PARKING ENFORCEMENT AND THE 8 IMPLEMENTATION OF A SERVICE FEE FOR CREDIT CARD 9 AND CERTAIN OTHER PAYMENT METHODS. 10 MR.
