MCANDREW: I just have a quick 17 one. I mean, it's not something that is 18 upcoming. I just want to say that I was with 19 my grandchildren able to attend the Touch a 20 Truck event that was at Nay Aug that the Junior 21 League of Scranton put on and well represented 22 from the city was, you know, law enforcement 23 vehicles, our police department, our fire 24 department, DPW, EMTs. 25 It was a great event. And they did  10 1 a fantastic job. It gets bigger and better 2 every year. And it was just a perfect day for 3 it. So I applaud everyone who was involved 4 with this. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 6 Anyone else? 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a few. 8 There's quite a few things going on this 9 weekend. My family had also gone to the Touch 10 a Truck event. And that's a great one that 11 they have every year for the kids. 12 But this upcoming weekend, a lot of 13 things going on, a lot of fall festivals, 14 Zummo's is having their annual autumn festival 15 that's going to be Sunday at 1 p.m. 16 And then there's going to be the 17 Green Ridge Fall Festival this Saturday 18 starting at 10 a.m. on East Market Street.

VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 21 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 22 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 24 Scranton, once again I'd like to compliment the 25 gentlemen I see every morning in their blue  12 1 Scranton Tomorrow T-shirts pushing those 2 humongous garbage cans around and cleaning up 3 the sidewalks. 4 I don't know if you ever walk around 5 the downtown in the daytime, but it has made a 6 definite difference in the look of the 7 downtown. So I compliment them. They do an 8 excellent job. And where do we stand on the 9 2024 audit? 10 MR. SMURL: It's complete and there 11 it is. 12 MS. HODOWANITZ: Where is it? 13 MR. SMURL: It just -- did you hear 14 my phone beep? It just got here. 15 MS. HODOWANITZ: You just got it? 16 MR. SMURL: Yes, I did. 17 MS. HODOWANITZ: So it will be on 18 Third Order next week? 19 MR. SMURL: Oh, I believe so, yes. 20 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. That's good. 21 Do you know when they signed it, when they 22 dated it? 23 MR. SMURL: I believe -- 24 MS. HODOWANITZ: Because the OPEB 25 audit in Third Order was signed on August 25th  13 1 and it just appears now. 2 MR. SMURL: Yes, I believe this was 3 actually completed yesterday. And so they had 4 to take all of those pieces that were all over 5 the place and combine them into one to finally 6 get us one single document and that took most 7 of today. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Well, 9 that -- at least it's done and that's real 10 progress. Speaking of progress or the lack 11 thereof, do we have a DPW Director? 12 MR. SMURL: I don't know of any 13 being hired, no. 14 MS. HODOWANITZ: Going, going, gone. 15 I mean, can't be having an unemployment problem 16 in Scranton if that position is still open. 17 How about the negotiations for a new DPW 18 Collective Bargaining Agreement, still working 19 on it? 20 MR. SMURL: I believe so. Neither 21 side will tell me any details, of course. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: Oh, I understand 23 that. But hopefully they'll get it done. It's 24 been nine months since the old one expired. 25 That's long enough to have a baby.  14 1 With regard to Item 8-B, authorizing 2 the entry level employment of the police 3 department, I'm very glad to see that you did 4 look into the opinions of the Civil Service 5 Commission and the police union. 6 It was surprising that when the 7 legislation was first introduced, there was no 8 such information included in the backup. And 9 this seems to be a recurring problem that 10 legislation comes forward and a lot of 11 questions are, you know, have to be asked and 12 answered down the road. 13 I'm not quite sure who prepares the 14 backup for the legislation. But I compliment 15 you for taking the time to table the 16 legislation and do your due diligence before 17 putting it up for a final vote. That is what 18 you owe the police department, the police 19 union, and the people of Scranton. So good 20 job. 21 Overtime, I see we're still plugging 22 along. Parks and Rec is 110 percent and the 23 fire department is 112 percent. The overall 24 total through apparently September is 87.8 25 percent. So hopefully that won't go too much  15 1 higher. And the MMO is in for 9.7 million 2 dollars. 3 So I don't know how many people ever 4 come to or pay attention to the minutes of the 5 consolidated pension board every month, but the 6 fund's been doing well because the stock 7 market's been doing well. So hopefully we'll 8 have a good year so that we go into next year 9 with no issues. 10 And one last thing, the potential 11 for government shutdown, I mean, I've been out 12 from the television for two hours. We're 13 still heading towards a potential shutdown 14 tonight? Anybody hear differently? 15 MR. SMURL: No, I -- 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm just curious as 17 to, you know, what the local impacts are. I 18 know that the trolley museum and the Steamtown, 19 the railroad stuff will all be shut down 20 effective, what, tomorrow? 21 MR. SMURL: Yes. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: Because it's a 23 national historic site. Any other impacts on 24 either the economy or the city itself? 25 MR. SMURL: Well, the weekend is  16 1 usually the trolley, they're pretty busy on the 2 weekend. So, yeah, you're going to lose a lot 3 of that. 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, you know, I 5 mean, it's just -- it's just like the perfect 6 storm. You got a potential federal government 7 shutdown. You've got a county with two 8 commissioners who are determined to, you know, 9 duke it out on the floor in front of the 10 cameras. 11 I mean, it's just going on and on 12 and on and I, you know, I mean, I hope we get 13 through this year and into next year with all 14 the I's dotted and the T's crossed. Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Joan, just one question. 16 How -- what would you think of 6 and quarter 17 percent interest? 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: I'm sorry? 19 MR. SMURL: The 6 and a quarter 20 percent interest rate for the MMOs. 21 MS. HODOWANITZ: I think that -- you 22 mean the 6.4 percentage? 23 MR. SMURL: Yeah, 6 point -- 6 and a 24 quarter, yeah. 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: Well, that's good.  17 1 MR. SMURL: That's what we closed it 2 at. 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah. 4 MR. SMURL: That's phenomenal, yeah. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: You know, see, that 6 means that, you know, we're hedging our best 7 and we aren't overestimating how the stock 8 market is going to perform. So we'll be 9 healthy. And we'll be able to pay the retirees 10 what we promised them. That's a good thing. 11 MR. SMURL: Yes. It is a good 12 thing. It's great. 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Very good. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Norma 15 Jeffries. 16 MS. JEFFRIES: Good evening, Norma 17 Jeffries, Scranton resident. And today it's 18 all about me. The things that I've run into 19 this past week I figured if I ran into these 20 issues, then others have run into them as well. 21 So I'm sure I'm not just speaking 22 just for myself and I'm speaking for other 23 residents of Scranton as well. One of the 24 things that I guess is, Dr. Rothchild, when you 25 spoke about the handicap parking in the city  18 1 and I know that you are following up on that, 2 and since I've been having issues these past 3 two years, you know, you don't really pay any 4 attention to it until you need it. 5 So as I'm downtown a lot and I run 6 into problems, you know, trying to find a place 7 to park and just because it doesn't have a 8 license plate that has a handicap or the 9 placard because I know sometimes I forget to 10 put my placard on it, but, you know, I was 11 looking for an update on that because I know 12 that you were working on that with the police 13 department. 14 So I was wondering if we could get 15 an update on that as well. And the other thing 16 that I ran into this week was household 17 hazardous waste. I had a couple things I 18 needed to get rid of. And so I got on our 19 website and I Googled the hazardous waste, what 20 do I do with it. 21 I'm very conscious about recycling. 22 So there is no way I was going to put it in the 23 trash. So the website told me to go to the 24 Recycling Center on Delaware Avenue. So off I 25 go with my two little containers and the first  19 1 place I came to was metal, I guess, like steel 2 and stuff. All the trucks were lined up there. 3 I said, well, that's not it. 4 So I kept going. And then I ran 5 into the spot where they do the cardboard and 6 the cans recycling. So I thought, okay, let me 7 go in here. So I went in there and drove 8 around, didn't see anybody to ask a question 9 like what do I do with the hazardous waste. 10 And it wasn't a lot. It was Draino, 11 but I didn't want to put it in the trash. So I 12 didn't see anyone to ask about it. So I went 13 back to my cell phone to look and see, maybe 14 there was a telephone number I could call to 15 see what do we, the residents of Scranton do 16 with hazardous waste because I'm sure I am not 17 the only one. 18 I was hoping that somebody could 19 tell me what to do with it. I still have it in 20 my car. And the other thing that I got caught 21 up in was the flooding on Olive Street and 22 Capouse Avenue. I was coming from the farmers' 23 market. And it wasn't this last one, it was 24 the cycle -- the rain before. 25 And the sky just opened up and that  20 1 intersection became flooded within minutes. 2 You know, fortunately I wasn't in it. I was 3 about two cars behind it. So we went up and 4 took the left up one of those streets, which 5 you had 6 to -- you couldn't get through. 7 So we had to make a U-turn and come 8 back down and go back out but making our way 9 through the streets so I could get home. But 10 then again, I guess it was last week that same 11 intersection was flooded again. I don't know 12 who owns that. Is it PennDOT or why, you know, 13 does it -- is it continuously flooded. 14 So as I was looking as well as I was 15 turning around, the sidewalk there for the 16 students coming from Scranton High has to be a 17 hazard for those kids. And thank God that 18 we've never heard of anyone getting hurt at 19 that intersection there, you know, with the 20 sidewalks are so thin and narrow there. 21 I know that the brush has been taken 22 care of there, but I don't know who's in charge 23 of the streets there and the sidewalks because 24 it is very, very narrow. And another thing, my 25 final thing that I was thinking about was  21 1 coming up Lackawanna Avenue is still just such 2 a hazard. I've had trouble with my tires, but 3 it's nothing to do with Lackawanna Avenue. But 4 as I come across Adams Avenue and I come up by 5 the Radison and that wall is still there 6 crumbling. 7 And I thought there was a grant and 8 money had been allocated for that wall to be 9 fixed. I don't see any kind of advancement 10 going on there. So maybe someone could give me 11 a little update on what's going on with that 12 wall at the Radison as we go forward. And 13 that's all I have for tonight. 14 MR. SMURL: Norma. In 7-C tonight, 15 you'll see that Lackawanna Avenue, the 16 Streetscape Project, that's part of the 17 project. That should be approved tonight. And 18 then it goes -- the contractor has already been 19 chosen and everything. So this just has to 20 pass Council and then it begins. 21 MS. JEFFRIES: I will be keeping my 22 eye on it to see what it is. Thank you. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Les 24 Spindler. 25 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening,  22 1 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 2 homeowner. Last week I drove by Scranton High 3 School at 3:00, spoke about this many times and 4 people are still parking illegally there. 5 There's signs, no parking and they park and 6 they're halfway out into the lane where traffic 7 is and nothing's being done. 8 I mentioned it a bunch of times here 9 and it's still the same. I don't know why 10 nothing is done with that. Yet I get a ticket 11 outside of my house if I'm parked facing the 12 wrong direction when nothing is done with these 13 people parked illegally on 7th Avenue. 14 Next month will be three years since 15 the DPW day shift supervisor was on my corner 16 spraying each corner saying they're going to 17 fix it. Well, to my surprise last Monday I get 18 a knock on my front door. It was that same 19 supervisor. He said, Mr. Spindler, we're here 20 to fix your corner. 21 He said somebody called 311 and said 22 they're getting water on their property. I 23 said, it wasn't me. I didn't call 311. But I 24 said, I've been going to Council for the last 25 three years since you said they're going to fix  23 1 our corner. 2 He said we're going -- I said, I 3 already took care of it. I said, I went up 4 Lowe's and bought blacktop but I fixed the 5 corner. He said, well, if you don't want us to 6 do it, we won't do it then. I said, well, if 7 you want to do it, go do it. 8 He said, well, you're going to have 9 to have that car moved. So I had to call my 10 daughter to move her car. Not only did they do 11 the corner, they did all -- all the way to the 12 end of my property. So I'm very thankful for 13 that. And it took three years, but at least 14 they got it done. 15 They did the corner and, like I 16 said, all the way to the end of my -- around 17 the corner and down the front of my property. 18 So now I have a nice curb there now. So I hope 19 it lasts. But thank you to DPW. They did a 20 good job. 21 On September 17th, there was a story 22 on Channel 16 news about ATVs, these e-bikes, 23 scooters. The Mayor from Hughesville was on. 24 He said -- I didn't even know. It's a state 25 law. It's not a borough law. It's a state  24 1 law. These vehicles are not allowed on the 2 streets, no scooters, no e-bikes, no bicycles, 3 especially not ATVs. 4 And if they're caught -- and Clarks 5 Summit also -- if they're caught, they 6 confiscate the vehicles. That's what we should 7 be doing here. We have to do something because 8 it's just out of control. These vehicles are 9 all over the place. It's a safety hazard. 10 I know it's the policy of our police 11 department they won't chase them. But some 12 police departments do. Back in July I was 13 coming home from the Casino at 10:00 at night. 14 It was a Thursday night because I go to Party 15 on the Patio. I just turned onto 315 to go 16 onto 81 and I see two police cars coming down 17 south on 315, and they are chasing two ATVs. 18 Now, I don't know what happened if 19 they caught them or what, but they were chasing 20 some ATVs. So I guess some police departments 21 their policy is to chase them. I think that 22 maybe our police department should change their 23 policy. I know they don't want to because of 24 lawsuits, but something's got to be done. 25 I know that -- I think there's an  25 1 ordinance or something in the city. But if 2 it's not being enforced, like, what good is it? 3 We have to enforce these ordinances. I don't 4 know what the ordinance says. But I've been 5 told we have an ordinance to dealing with this 6 stuff. 7 If we're not upholding ordinances, 8 what good is having them? I mean, this is a 9 safety issue. I'm not the only one that's been 10 involved in -- I told the story about the ATV 11 going down Main Avenue a while back. And if I 12 didn't move, it would have crashed right into 13 me. It's just out of control. 14 One went by the house the other day 15 loud as hell he's -- they're going on two 16 wheels. It's unbelievable. It's a safety 17 issue and something's got to be done, whether 18 we confiscate the vehicles or whatever. It's 19 got to be enforced, whether we need more 20 patrols. 21 It's bad enough on the side streets, 22 but they're going on main streets. They are 23 going on the highways. 315 is a highway. 24 That's two ATVs on the highway and the police 25 were chasing them. I don't know what police  26 1 department it was, you know, it might have been 2 Pittston or some -- I don't know. 3 But something's got to be done 4 because somebody's going to get killed one of 5 these days. That's all I have. Thank you. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ron Ellman. 7 MR. ELLMAN: Council, my Democratic 8 friend speaks with his heart. I know he means 9 what he says even if I disagree sometimes. 10 Rosie had an appointment Friday at the mall. 11 So I walked around a little bit. I walked past 12 a bunch of empty stores on Wyoming to Spruce. 13 Then I came back down Penn Avenue. 14 It looks so bad. All this money, 7 million 15 dollars just going to a handful of people on 16 Lackawanna. The Mayor has completely misled 17 the people saying it's grants for Scranton. 18 It's grants for a handful that have these old 19 buildings with historic value, they're paying 20 little or no taxes and they're being enriched 21 by rentals. This is the Scranton I live in 22 now. 23 Nobody wants to admit it, but the 24 parking increases year after year have 25 destroyed downtown as it was maybe five, six  27 1 years ago. Jimmy Klee once told me they need 2 to get rid of the meters, the office, the truck 3 they had, everything to do with it and have 4 free parking for the businesses. He was right 5 100 percent. 6 We're not getting nothing out of the 7 parking and gave 2 million dollars to save a 8 bunch of greedy investors that should have been 9 bankrupt. And I ask you to give word to see if 10 we could get free parking permits for handicap 11 people. Nobody gave a damn up there about it. 12 You people don't have no feeling 13 whatsoever for the people in this city. It's a 14 shame what's going on right under your noses. 15 Any streets you go down been completely 16 destroyed by utilities. Nobody cares. 17 Unacceptable repairs everywhere. 18 I don't -- you need to take an 19 interest in the people that are paying for 20 everything even -- it's -- it's probably too 21 late. Well, to change the subject, I'm trying 22 to be -- I can't stand Kelly. Again, his 23 poison pen unnecessarily for no real reason 24 repeatedly in his article about Cordaro being 25 incarcerated.  28 1 This senseless dribble of his wasn't 2 the least bit necessary. But to me, it infers 3 this attitude which is completely and 4 unchristian, unforgiving attitude is against 5 anyone that been incarcerated for whatever 6 reason over the years. I guess, we're all just 7 jailbirds in his eyes. He needs to go back 8 under that rock he came from. 9 People, Cognetti is a failure. 10 Don't vote for a failure again out there. Her 11 policies have failed us. You people have 12 failed us that she relies on. The whole 13 administration has been anti-resident. I don't 14 know, but I sure hope there's a big change come 15 election time for the better. Thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan. 17 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council. 18 The first thing I'd like to say here from this 19 podium is that if there is government shutdown, 20 I think you have to lay that at the feet of 21 Democrats in Congress and the Senate because 22 they want to increase spending by 1.4 trillion 23 dollars and want to waste a lot more money. 24 And the country is just starting to 25 turn itself around. But what I have today is  29 1 that I'm hoping that the residents in the City 2 of Scranton would have appealed their 3 assessments. I'd also would hope that there 4 were a group of citizens in Scranton that 5 started a class action on this. 6 I don't really pay too much 7 attention to what other people do because I 8 usually do things for myself. But I would just 9 like to share some things with residents in the 10 city. I own three houses in the city. And I 11 just find the assessment to be the most 12 ridiculous thing I've ever seen or heard of in 13 my life. 14 And how they hired this group when 15 you do a little research on it, I have no idea. 16 But they're involved in a lot of litigation at 17 this point and they're not competent. But that 18 doesn't surprise me because I'm not sure the 19 city is competent or the county or the people 20 we elect because they're not qualified to hold 21 the positions they have. 22 And they get elected and they can't 23 make changes to the government because they get 24 elected to a position they don't know how to 25 do. And then it's like on-the-job training and  30 1 the damage that comes to the residents is just 2 horrendous. But I'd just like to say that, you 3 know, they raised one of my property values by 4 $141,000, okay. And they increased another one 5 by 171,000, and the last one they increased by 6 $226,000. 7 Now, there's absolutely no basis for 8 anything they've done because they worked for a 9 reassessment in Jackson County, Missouri. They 10 hired them to come in and do all of this stuff. 11 The taxpayers there received assessments that 12 were so unbelievably unexpected, it's funny -- 13 that the county didn't know what to do. 14 They're in a class action and the 15 county now is claiming that the process was not 16 properly managed leading to significant 17 property tax increases. And, you know, I 18 really think that the residents in this city -- 19 I've only started this thing so, I mean, I 20 don't have a lot of time to do research because 21 I work a lot. 22 But I really think they need to sue 23 the county and the elected officials. And they 24 need to do a class action and sue this company 25 because they don't have people that go out and  31 1 do these assessments. They use software. They 2 have nobody in their office that knows a damn 3 thing about assessments. You can't make this 4 stuff up, okay. 5 They use computer assisted mass 6 appraisals. They use a software system to do 7 all of this stuff. So they have no idea what 8 your house looks like, no idea what the 9 condition of your house is because I think all 10 what happens is, the county calls them and 11 says, well, look it, you know, we really need 12 50 million dollars. Can you come here and help 13 us? 14 And we'll pay you let's say, 10 15 million dollars to help us do that. So they 16 hire a couple people. Say, okay, we got you 17 covered. Then, of course, you know, they go 18 out and do all of these make-believe 19 assessments. 20 And then the stupid and ignorant 21 people that have been voting in this city all 22 of my life, okay, they sit home and they don't 23 do anything for themselves. So look it, I 24 can't tell you what's going to happen here 25 because we're still doing ECTV. I don't think  32 1 they know -- their attorney knows what he's 2 going to do next either or the Third Circuit. 3 But it's all a mess. And you're all 4 responsible for it. And people are being 5 crushed because we have incompetent government 6 and people who won't do a damn thing to help 7 themselves. They think somebody else is going 8 to help them. It's not going to happen. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all 10 for the sign-in sheet. Would anybody else like 11 to speak? 12 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Virgil 13 Argenta, Scranton resident. First, I would 14 like to commend Bob Gattens and the SMRA Board 15 volunteers. And that's the Scranton Municipal 16 Rec Authority and Mr. Smurl and his volunteers. 17 Nay Aug Park looks great and it's a pleasure to 18 visit. 19 8-B, good luck with the lateral 20 program. I think the lateral program will be 21 very beneficial to the department. 7-B, board 22 members have recently voted again downtown 23 developers who are working to revitalize the 24 area investing significant personal resources 25 into these efforts.  33 1 Most notably, 7-B declined approval 2 for a digital billboard for both -- for the 3 sidewall of Rocky's Lounge. My main concern 4 with this board is the consistently low 5 attendance of its members, which results in 6 decisions being made by only a partial board 7 without rescheduling meetings to ensure full 8 participation. 9 The project in question represented 10 an investment close to $100,000. And it 11 included a comprehensive 20 page application, 12 including work with local businesses who 13 experience lost opportunities due to the 14 rejection. 15 Although the board comprises of nine 16 members, the decision to reject the project was 17 reached with only a 3-0 vote. Those numbers 18 seem to be the norm lately. The board was also 19 involved in a situation that created challenges 20 for another project being renovated by 21 Mr. Basalyga, which included two vacant 22 buildings on the 100 block of Wyoming Avenue. 23 After the project commenced, a board 24 member requested samples of both steel, brick 25 and exterior material to be used for this  34 1 building in construction. Mr. Smurl, I mean, 2 you could understand it. It is a standard 3 practice to complete exterior work during 4 favorable weather conditions. 5 But due to these additional 6 requests, the project's timeline was delayed. 7 If this board is not full capacity, it may be 8 beneficial to consider sending some 9 professional courtesy to the developer who are 10 developing in city using their money. 11 Until all members are present to 12 make decisions, this approach can help ensure 13 fairness to the professionals involved. As a 14 resident and Council candidate supportive of 15 city development, the hope is that any delays 16 and rejections from the board are based solely 17 on relevant qualifications, considerations, 18 lack of board members expertise or knowledge, 19 hopefully not a spite work. 20 The city's website states HARB shall 21 consist of nine residents of the City of 22 Scranton as follows: 23 This is who should be on the board 24 for HARB, one registered architect, one 25 registered engineer, one licensed contractor,  35 1 one licensed real estate broker, one member of 2 the Architectural Heritage Association, one 3 property owner whose property is located within 4 the historic district or who owns a landmark 5 property, one member who by professional 6 training or occupation is an urban planner, 7 architectural historian, archeologist, historic 8 preservationist or has professional expertise 9 in a field closely related to historic 10 preservation or discipline which has American 11 societies, American simulation, cultural 12 geographic or cultural anthropology -- 13 seriously? 14 One property owner at large and one 15 other person who by training, experience or 16 interest is qualified to carry out the duties 17 as a member of this commission. The registered 18 engineer is vacant. The architect seat is 19 vacant. The licensed contractor seat is 20 vacant. And the historic property owner is 21 vacant. 22 The seats that are filled are the 23 Architectural Heritage Association, 24 professional training, real estate broker, and 25 a property owner at large and historian. And  36 1 very rarely do you get the four of them to be 2 at that same meeting. 3 Will there be ADA accommodations for 4 Friday's open house with the parking spot in 5 the rear of the building? ADA requires a 6 parking space with adequate lighting and that 7 is from the ADA handicap accessible manual. 8 Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 10 MS. KOLOSKI: Doris Koloski, 11 resident. Okay, first, I want to make this 12 announcement that on Sunday, October 19th, 13 there's going to be a new group called the 14 Friends of Nay Aug Park. Something going on at 15 Nay Aug is Step Up For Nay Aug Park. 16 It's going to be a walk in the park. 17 It starts at the amphitheater at 11. And if 18 you come later, then you could just, like, hang 19 out with the park. Okay, now I have to get to 20 my stuff, okay. 21 First of all, they never cut the 22 curb on Olive and Colfax which became a thing 23 which dawned on me again when I walked my two 24 dogs with my rollator and couldn't get down off 25 the curb and had to walk around, okay.  37 1 I want to make sure I get everything 2 in that I want. Okay, the parking meters for 3 7:00, recently I went to a meeting at the 4 library that I had to be there for 6:00. I 5 parked in front of Lackawanna College at the 6 handicap meter. I went to the kiosk. It was a 7 black screen like it wasn't plugged in or 8 something. It wouldn't work. 9 Then I went to the next kiosk and I 10 couldn't get two different credit cards to 11 work. Then we were coming out of Lackawanna 12 College and two of the students tried my credit 13 cards in case I was doing something wrong which 14 I knew I wasn't. And they wouldn't work. 15 They only went as far as after you 16 put the license number in, you couldn't pick 17 anything more. And the coach came out and he 18 said let me do by pandango for you. And I 19 said, now it's 6:30. It's only a half hour to 20 go. I'm not going to worry about it. I don't 21 want you to give me money, you know? 22 So I want to know what do you do if 23 you've hit three kiosks in the block and they 24 are not working that you have to keep going to 25 another kiosk. I mean, it was ridiculous. It  38 1 was 25 after 6 by the time I got into the 2 meeting. And when I went to explain why I was 3 late, half the people in the meeting that lived 4 in Scranton, did not know about the extended 5 time because they said, oh, my God, we didn't 6 put anything in either. Okay, so that was 7 that. 8 So I want to know what you do if 9 that's what happens. The code blue since we're 10 getting pretty close to that cold weather, I 11 think it needs to be raised. I'm not sure what 12 the temperature was. But I think it was almost 13 freezing or below freezing. 14 MR. SMURL: 20 degrees. 15 MS. KOLOSKI: What is it? 16 MR. SMURL: 20 degrees. 17 MS. KOLOSKI: That's ridiculous. I 18 mean, would you want to be out? I mean, even 19 45 is kind of cold. And we have kids -- 20 school-age kids that are homeless now just 21 because of the high rentals and lost their 22 things. They have to raise that. It's 23 crazy -- I mean, at least to 45. 24 I would raise it to 50 at least or 25 55 even higher. But I understand there's a  39 1 problem getting volunteers for some of these 2 places. So maybe the city needs to hire 3 somebody or offer overtime to certain people 4 that already work for the city to take care of 5 them. 6 I want to thank you guys for having 7 the sewers cleaned out by my house and 8 everything. When we just had this downpour, 9 the only water that pooled was the water from 10 the Geisinger parking lot across the street 11 because all the grass is gone and it couldn't 12 catch it, you know, it pools there. 13 But the sewers didn't overflow on my 14 block. They smelled for a while but that 15 seems to have gone away. So I want to thank 16 you guys for having that done. Oh, since 17 you're all campaigners and since I used to put 18 up campaign signs, they're not so bad when 19 they're cardboard, but those plastic ones, you 20 can't get rid of the plastic. 21 And nobody ever picks them back up. 22 So I have like a whole bunch of the things that 23 you put over -- the signs over that you have to 24 stick in your yard. And I put them in for 25 recycling and we found out they're not  40 1 recyclable. So they're sitting along side my 2 house with -- I have no idea what to do with 3 them. 4 Let me see here, there was another 5 thing. Okay, the other -- I have two things. 6 The other thing that I have is when I heard on 7 the TV when I watch this about the 8 overgrowth -- I'm like, you know, what I'm not 9 going to say that because I'm running out of 10 time and this is more important. 11 My neighbor sent me pictures that 12 she wanted me to bring in. I thank them for 13 cleaning up 421 Colfax in the front there it's 14 beautiful. But she sent me a bunch of pictures 15 for the back of it and she wanted me to bring 16 them in. So I'm just going to try to approach 17 you if you don't mind. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Can we reach out to 22 Car Park and ask how many total kiosks we have 23 and right now what is the -- what percentage of 24 those kiosks are operational or 100 percent 25 operational?  41 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them 2 tomorrow. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I do have 4 an e-mail out to them to speak with them as 5 well. And if you could check on that -- if you 6 get an answer before I do. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can we also ask what 10 they've done to educate the public on the 11 extended hours aside from the news and media 12 stories? 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Dr. 14 Rothchild. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. 16 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 17 First, I heard about this meeting supposed HARB 18 meeting. And if it was a three -- if they have 19 a seven or a nine person board and they're 20 voting three to zero, that doesn't sound to me 21 like you have a quorum. 22 If there's not a quorum, no business 23 should be done at that. I'd be very interested 24 to find out if this three to zero vote is 25 correct and if it was moved forward on a three  42 1 to zero vote if the action before you was 2 actually a product of something moved forward 3 when they didn't have authority as a quorum to 4 actually operate and push anything forward. 5 Stepping aside from that, the 6 flooding, McDonough between Cedar and Birney 7 Avenue, the street along the side of it near 8 the curb section has rolled up -- pulled up 9 like an onion ring because of instead of 10 actually digging down properly to repave 11 streets, and skim coat and throw another layer 12 on top. 13 So the entire section -- part of the 14 section of the -- near the curb has just ripped 15 up and rolled -- and washed down the roadway 16 into an intersection. 17 Obviously when roadways get 18 undercut, ripped up and moved down, there is 19 something seriously wrong about the paving in 20 that section. Moving on from that, if you move 21 down the street to McDonough and Colliery at 22 the park where we just put in pickleball 23 courts, at the top of the hill there is a storm 24 drain that has no curb around it. 25 And right up from it there also is  43 1 no curb on that street. So the water washes 2 over the top, goes over where the storm drain 3 is and goes down a steep hill into the wooded 4 wood chip area washing out a lot of the wood 5 chips from in the children's play area. 6 And nothing says being fantastic 7 than water soaked wood chips for a long period 8 of time because they like to make mold and they 9 like to dissolve. And they to go back and 10 actually get rakes and pull them back into the 11 area because they get washed out because there 12 is no curb on top to properly take the water. 13 There are drains, but the curbs 14 which are blacktop in that section are gone. 15 Moving down to the bottom of it, you have a 16 Porta Potty. And that Porta Potty was actually 17 a nice little fecal swamp because in that 18 section, they never bothered to grade it. 19 At the back of the section, there's 20 a new drain. There's waterways coming down. 21 But on a section that goes against the city 22 sign slope hill of it, the water isn't sloped 23 away from there. So there's gigantic puddle 24 directly below the Porta Potty sinking it under 25 a good 2 feet of water.  44 1 Nothing says caring about your 2 children than saying go over and play in raw 3 sewage from a Porta Potty. The rain, Powell 4 Court has been up here a number of times. At 5 the end of Powell Court which is between 6 Birney -- actually between Birney and Pittston 7 Avenue back in Minooka, the one garage had 5 8 foot of water in it about four weeks ago. 9 They got it -- they got it pumped 10 out. And it's back up again. If you go into 11 the alleyway, the far storm drain, the 12 equivalent of it is up here (indicating) while 13 the road surface is down here. I'm sorry, but 14 as far as I know, water does not go uphill to 15 go into drains. 16 When a drain is a good foot and a 17 half to 2 feet above the water surface, it 18 doesn't get in there. There's one at the other 19 end of the block which is all well and good. 20 But since the old Azek building was put up up 21 there and they clear cut near 81 for parking up 22 at Montage, that area, all that area is 23 blacktopped. 24 The water comes down, shoots down, 25 has nowhere to go. Both Pittston Avenue and  45 1 Birney Avenue are high points. So it goes to 2 that -- it goes into that section and floods 3 that entire back area. I don't understand why 4 that can't be fixed. 5 Though we had Pittston Avenue back 6 there get paved which is fantastic the state 7 paved it because the city is about to do a 8 project to rip it up and put water control back 9 there where the city paved it. Good working of 10 money there by not coordinating. 11 I have a lot more, including other 12 questions. But I don't have time to do them. 13 So on that, I guess I'll talk to you next week 14 and hopefully we could stop -- rather than 15 building lights and sidewalks in Center City, 16 we could turn to important things like people's 17 houses not getting flooded. Thank you. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 19 MS. SCHUMACHER: Good evening, Marie 20 Schumacher, citizen of Scranton. I started off 21 my day today with something I'd like to invite 22 all of you to do which is to come up to the 23 East Mountain and walk around the -- walk the 24 path around the lake. 25 It is -- it's a very nice way to  46 1 start the day or maybe even to close out the 2 day. So that's how I started. But I went from 3 there down to my favorite scenic place on the 4 East Mountain which is the Lookout. However, 5 the Lookout has problems. 6 People are taking -- taking stones 7 out and I guess we've got a quarry that must 8 have a lot more because they continue -- the 9 DPW seems to be able to get them to replace 10 them. But that's going to come to an end 11 sometime. 12 But there was supposed to be a light 13 there. I don't know if you could find it. I 14 couldn't. I looked on both sides or both ends, 15 couldn't find a light. So I think we really 16 need to do something there. And I think that 17 is all, but the Lookout needs help. 18 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can I just clarify 19 about something about the Lookout? You 20 mentioned that the stones were being taken 21 again. Are you noticing that more are being 22 moved than before, like, has it changed? Is it 23 worse or is it still the same amount as before? 24 MS. SCHUMACHER: Depends on -- 25 depends on the week, what people did on the  47 1 weekend. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay, so they (cross 3 talking.) 4 MS. SCHUMACHER: Yeah, the DPW 5 replaces them and they come and take them. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 7 MR. KING: Frank, can we request the 8 administration to see if we could get the City 9 Engineer to go up there and look at the Lookout 10 and make some recommendations as to what 11 repairs need to be done up there and also 12 inquire about lighting and possible cameras up 13 there, if you could? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: It was my 16 understanding that the engineer was going to go 17 there. But I don't know if we ever received 18 any response or further -- 19 MR. KING: Well, if they did go 20 there, can we get -- excuse me, get a report of 21 what the plan is to ameliorate those issues 22 there? Thank you. 23 MR. MCANDREW: We had a brief update 24 that the City Engineer is still looking at it. 25 I've been bringing this up for three years.  48 1 And we had a solution but it wasn't 2 entertained. It would have been fixed already 3 by the students at the CTC. So I don't know 4 what the problem is or the holdup. It's not 5 making any sense. It's going to be another 6 winter and with this not being fixed. It's 7 absurd. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, thanks everybody 9 for raising this concern. I did -- some 10 members of DPW that were stone masons did reach 11 out. They said they believe the department 12 could do the work. And we did get an answer a 13 week or so ago from the city administration 14 that said that those workers were busy on 15 basins and they couldn't do that stone work. 16 But can we get that -- the city's 17 recommendations for what we're going to do with 18 that -- the Lookout? 19 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll find out, sir. 20 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Scranton 21 City Council, Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight 22 as we finish the month of September and Council 23 returning after a five-week break, apparently 24 nothing has changed, mediocre and crickets, 25 unacceptable and disrespectful.  49 1 With the current climate that the 2 Mayor has created, we need an effective City 3 Council who will listen to those before them 4 and answer questions or get answers. Instead, 5 we elected five prepared statements. 6 Last week's meeting lasted 1 hour 7 and 12 minutes. Just prior to my five minutes 8 last week, Mr. Schuster was given my question 9 in advance as Chair for Public Works. Here 10 were the questions on the minds of many 11 Scranton residents and voters. Let's recap, 12 shall we? 13 Crosswalks are finally being painted 14 with wrong paint. Do you think DPW should keep 15 that responsibility? Do you think that PA 16 Water should become more responsible for their 17 pave cuts and the city enforcing ordinances? 18 Do you think city residents deserve their own 19 pave inspectors? 20 Do you believe DPW should be 21 knocking down condemned and unsafe properties? 22 Do you believe that blighted neighborhoods also 23 cause crime? Do you think that an engineer 24 should inspect the over 100-year-old railroad 25 bridges? Do you think the city will be better  50 1 served with an inhouse engineer? Do you think 2 that tree cutting should be done as a DPW 3 function? 4 You answered none of them in an 5 election year, wow, mediocre. Mr. Schuster, 6 good luck with your project. Do each of you 7 get the concept that's required to be a good 8 community leader, you represent your city with 9 pride. 10 Week after week many good and caring 11 people do their part, speak their minds just to 12 be ignored. If no one showed, would that be a 13 win for each of you? How would each you 14 justify being reelected? How can this type of 15 representation -- you could get questions 16 answered with caucuses. 17 The good people of Scranton would 18 like to see a caucus with the pave cut 19 inspectors, PA Water about the poor work ethic 20 and quality and the Police Chief about the 21 nature of our calls. I would also like to hear 22 from the Lackawanna County District Attorney. 23 Mr. Brian Gallagher lives in Scranton. 24 If possible, our city would like to 25 hear how they interact with our Police Chief.  51 1 We had so many opioid-related deaths in 2 Scranton, no one held responsible for their 3 actions. We'd like to know if the changes to 4 our police department are for the better. Our 5 citizens deserve answers because the Mayor -- 6 our amazing police department that works 7 nonstop to protect us should have those answers 8 as well. 9 We cannot place -- we cannot place 10 our police department in unwanted danger. 11 Thank you to our Scranton Police who are short 12 staffed because of the changes in the police 13 testing. As the President of the West Scranton 14 Crime Watch, Mr. Schuster shut down the crime 15 watch program right after slandering me. 16 I will proceed on a day and time of 17 my so choosing. Mr. Schuster could care less 18 about our safety, our amazing police department 19 infrastructure, our roads, or our great DPW 20 employees. On November 4th, proceed to the 21 polls and vote for character. Those who pay 22 attention are willing to answer questions 23 deserve your votes. 24 Someone like Schuster and the Mayor, 25 do not. Our city has become a stepping stone  52 1 for someone who does not deserve it. This 2 Friday, this very same building, Scranton City 3 Hall will have the extra set of doors unlocked 4 from 6 until 8 p.m. 5 It will be the first time in years. 6 Come meet Stepping Stone Paige and her 7 expansion team and watch the crowd go wild. I 8 care about our city. I care about our 9 citizens. I show up here weekly to ask the 10 important questions. 11 For those who cannot attend these 12 meetings, I operate on a different level. What 13 draws me here weekly is crickets and 14 mediocracy. Since it's all about Paige, next 15 week Paige and mediocre machine. Stay tuned. 16 Thank you for paying attention unlike those who 17 represent us. Good evening, Council. 18 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? 19 MR. LITTLE: Hi. I'm Rik Little, 20 candidate on the ballot in the upcoming local 21 election. I think the local election is 22 probably the most important thing to 23 concentrate on for all the problems that 24 everybody's having. 25 As I've said for a long time, this  53 1 county and this city have an unconstitutional 2 governance. I think the evidence of that is a 3 case I believe it was from 1856. It's called 4 Dillon -- or called the Dillon Act, which was a 5 case between the Clinton railroad and -- 6 somebody Clinton and railroad. 7 Anyway, that was the case that set 8 up the legality of Home Rule Charters. Now 9 1856, that's only four-years after the 10 Republican party was ever heard of -- started 11 and just a few decades after Andrew Jackson 12 started the Democrat party. 13 And the problem is in the judiciary 14 because these people run for the judiciary as 15 Democrats and Republicans. And the newspaper 16 never defines how it works. But this is 17 definitely the biggest problem that America 18 has. 19 I really realized it going through 20 the state family court system because like 21 marriage and like all Domestic Relations 22 things, they are not for the federal 23 government, you know, they are for the state. 24 But the state and the county and the city have 25 to adhere to Constitutional standards, which is  54 1 due process and the whole thing, Bill of 2 Rights. 3 And it's all been mishmashed and 4 always all of this talk about democracy. And 5 it's not democracy. Democracy is the vote. 6 And the elections are integral to every part of 7 government, especially where I was just evicted 8 from Scranton Housing Authority. It's a voting 9 farm. All of the judges and the inspectors are 10 in there. 11 And these are good jobs. I mean, 12 you could make $8,000 if you are elected Board 13 of Elections. You only have to collect like 10 14 elector signals. But they've been going for 15 years like that. And the same people and 16 there's a certain pride in Scranton, Democrat 17 pride. 18 I mean, the first John F. Kennedy 19 school was named here in 1963. And it's great, 20 you know. I mean, I was a Democrat. And I was 21 a Republican. Now I'm an Independent running 22 on the AAA mission from God party locally here 23 in Scranton because the powers that be have 24 figured out the whole system of how it works 25 and the newspapers are part of it.  55 1 Part of that whole due process, the 2 newspapers are a big part of the due process 3 and the notice requirements in the law. We 4 have to get local people in the judiciary 5 talking here because too many things are left 6 to right to know and FOIA requests to find out 7 what's going on. 8 I hear tonight they're having all of 9 these meetings. They don't have a quorum. 10 Three people and there is supposed to be nine 11 people. That's not a quorum. They were doing 12 that at Scranton Housing Authority over and 13 over. 14 And it's happening in all the other 15 boards. I could promise you that. They are 16 talking about a government shutdown at midnight 17 October 1st. And this problem goes right up to 18 the top, you know, Josh Shapiro, you know, 19 closing down the government. 20 There has to be a big change. And 21 it's going to be an arduous task. It's going 22 to be a couple years tackling all the liberal 23 globalist influence, not only in America but 24 all over the world. Every major European city, 25 they're gone.  56 1 And I don't want to see Scranton 2 gone. And that's why I'm running for Mayor 3 because I've seen -- I've been to every agency. 4 I see how it works. And I just like to 5 emphasize that the judicial part of it, we 6 cannot reelect the three big judges for 7 retention. And we have to look at the judges 8 in our local area. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 11 MOTIONS. 12 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 13 any motions or comments? 14 MR. KING: Just a few comments. 15 That curb that Doris has been asking about for 16 the three and a half years I've been here, 17 Colfax -- it's Colfax and Vine, right? 18 DR. ROTHCHILD: Colfax and Olive. 19 MR. KING: Olive, excuse me, Colfax 20 and Olive. Can we contact DPW and find out 21 what the status is of that? She's been asking 22 for three and a half years. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. King. 24 That's with both the City Engineer and DPW. 25 MR. KING: Thank you. I'd  57 1 appreciate that. Also, if you could put a 2 request into the Parking Authority or the group 3 that runs the parking about situation where 4 there's three broken kiosks, like, what are 5 they supposed to do? 6 How do they document, like, if they 7 get a did ticket, maybe they tried three 8 different kiosks. They shouldn't get a ticket. 9 And, you know, it's one thing for maybe a 10 younger person that can bounce around to three 11 or four different ones. 12 But, I mean, elderly people trying 13 to get around, three's a lot. And they are not 14 that close together so if we could inquire 15 about that. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 17 MR. KING: We talked about the 18 Lookout repairs. Pittston Avenue and Birney, 19 correct, or is it McDonough? 20 MR. SCHUSTER: McDonough. 21 MR. KING: McDonough between Birney 22 and Cedar, can we ask our City Engineer or DPW 23 to go out and see what the issue is there that 24 is causing that flooding? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was not  58 1 repaired because it's on the paving list and it 2 should be paved within the next two weeks. 3 MR. KING: Okay. All right. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: Birney to Cedar. 5 MR. KING: All right. I guess this 6 one would be for our attorney -- our solicitor. 7 If we could look into the legality of a 3-0 8 vote on a nine member board, I do see that HARB 9 board is seeking a contractor, an engineer, and 10 a historic property owner. So they're shy -- 11 presently shy three members which means they 12 have six right now. 13 But I would think if only two of us 14 showed up here, we couldn't conduct business, 15 no quorum, can't even start the meeting. So I 16 don't know how they start a meeting with three 17 members of a nine member board. So if we could 18 check into that, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. 19 That's all I have. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 21 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 22 comments? 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have few 24 comments tonight. The first thing on my list 25 was going to be the audit. I did speak with  59 1 Matt Domines over the weekend who said that we 2 should be receiving it. So it appears that our 3 President has received a copy? 4 MR. SMURL: Yes, I'll text it or 5 e-mail it to you. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. We'll get that 7 tonight or tomorrow? 8 MR. SMURL: Yeah, they had just 9 finished it when they sent it to me. It was, 10 like, when we started the meeting. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. All right. 12 Thank you. We have Item 6-B on the agenda last 13 week is now moved to Seventh Order. It was the 14 police department hiring process. We did table 15 it. So I would like to thank everyone who 16 tabled this to get a response. 17 We did get a response from the Civil 18 Service Commission. I'm just going to start 19 off by saying this should have been in our 20 backups all along. I think it would have eased 21 our minds. But they do have a -- they do have 22 their next week meeting October 7th. 23 When we -- when they have that 24 meeting, Mr. Gilbride, if they end up -- we're 25 going to pass this tonight. And if they turn  60 1 this down, has the city administration said 2 that they are going to rescind the -- rescind 3 the legislation? 4 ATTY. GILBRIDE: They haven't said 5 that to me. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. 7 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I haven't had that 8 conversation. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Next, we did 10 ask about -- Mr. McAndrew brought it up last 11 week and I chimed in on it as well about our 12 human relations committee -- commission. And 13 we did get a letter from -- was that something 14 you were going to cover? No. We talked 15 about -- yeah, it was information that we 16 already had. 17 That member of the commission was 18 inactive as of August. And it appears that 19 maybe the commission was recommending the 20 removal at that time. But Mr. McAndrew brought 21 it up last week and there was several times 22 over the last few years that Council has vetted 23 board appointees, things that came to light for 24 us that we brought up. 25 And I would say at the time that  61 1 that happened, we were treated foolishly that 2 if we were to vote this down we were in the 3 wrong. But with this appointment for some 4 reason, the newspaper and some of the media 5 outlets have taken it and seen something -- 6 have some sort of an issue with it. 7 But I would like to point out in the 8 past when Council brought the vetting process, 9 we were treated as fools at that time. I did 10 ask some questions about Keyser Valley and the 11 residents that were affected by the flooding in 12 Keyser Valley have been contacted. 13 Some of those neighbors have told me 14 that they weren't. But the city administration 15 answered my question stating that letters were 16 sent and calls were made to all impacted 17 homeowners. In regard to the BRIC grant, all 18 Keyser Valley homeowners participated in the 19 buyout -- participating in the buyout attended 20 a May 15th meeting and signed refused 21 exoneration form. So I will be checking up on 22 that. 23 And then I asked the question last 24 week about the Serrenti Center about what is 25 that building used for and where are we at with  62 1 some of the work that was being done there. 2 The answer that I received back was that the 3 classroom and evidence room, electrical and 4 general construction work are complete in those 5 areas. And the city continues to use that 6 center for training for both police and fire. 7 That is all I have for tonight. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 9 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 10 comments? 11 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I 12 just want to touch on the curb cut issue at 13 Olive and Colfax which I brought up many times 14 especially over the past year. And I looked 15 back in my e-mail and the last thing that I had 16 from Mr. Voldenberg was back on July 1st. 17 And he had informed me that Reilly 18 and Associates had completed the design and the 19 project would be scheduled. So there's a 20 design, but I'm not sure why the holdup -- why 21 it hadn't gotten scheduled or completed. So we 22 will press them again to find out when that 23 could be scheduled. 24 And fingers crossed, it could be 25 done before the wintertime because I don't  63 1 think a curb cut should be a large project by 2 any means. So that's all that I have on that. 3 And then a couple of responses I received from 4 last week, I know it came up tonight too as a 5 question regarding the Code Blue Shelter. 6 So last week I had asked what our 7 plans were for Code Blue Shelter since Keystone 8 Mission had closed and they were the ones who 9 were helping us to operate that during the 10 wintertime. And the administration's response 11 was that the city is actively engaging with our 12 partners to enter into an agreement with an 13 organization that will fulfill the role 14 Keystone Mission used to occupy regarding code 15 blue. 16 We are holding meetings both 17 internally and with other community 18 stakeholders to make sure our unsheltered 19 population is taking care of during periods 20 when code blue is declared. 21 So I know one of the speakers asked 22 if the temperature could be increased for when 23 code blue even opens. But I'm worried about us 24 getting someone to cover that. And I know that 25 Parks and Rec workers do work overtime to open  64 1 up the shelter on those nights that it's open. 2 So there's -- so you'll see like the 3 overtime increase in budget during that period 4 of time as a result. So people already do work 5 overtime. But they wanted, you know, qualified 6 persons to run the code blue, to stay overnight 7 with the people. 8 And in the past, I've had many 9 people ask about if they could volunteer to do 10 so just as a member of the public and there 11 seemed to be some more requirements that they 12 wanted of people aside from just volunteers, 13 which I think it's appreciative -- appreciated 14 that people would want to volunteer to do that. 15 So I'll continue to update the 16 public on any further responses I receive on 17 that. But I'm certainly concerned about it too 18 and want to make sure that -- that we have that 19 set up. So there's one other thing I had 20 received a response. 21 I had some questions last week about 22 Connell Park and just about, like, our trash 23 pickup in the parks in the city in general. 24 And as I was told that the city's park staff 25 maintains Connell Park three days during the  65 1 week including Fridays and Mondays for weekend 2 cleanup. 3 They have installed additional trash 4 receptacles in the park to encourage residents 5 to clean up after themselves. So I had gotten 6 a -- a couple of people contacting me about 7 this saying that they do, in fact, help to 8 clean up the parks and the neighborhoods. 9 And I don't want anyone to think 10 that -- that I don't appreciate that from our 11 residents and that there are residents who 12 generally care about our city and making sure 13 that we have a clean appearance. 14 And I know we have wonderful 15 volunteers and in a lot of our parks throughout 16 the cities -- throughout the city. So I don't 17 want anyone to think that I wasn't recognizing 18 the people that do that. And I've helped at a 19 lot of cleanups in the past too. 20 And I have no problem picking up -- 21 picking up trash or litter and my daughter 22 follows in my footsteps because she always gets 23 concerned when sees litter around and will let 24 me know and we'll pick it up together. So it 25 is certainly a, you know, a community effort.  66 1 And I don't expect Parks and Rec to 2 do all of that, but I do think it's under their 3 job description to do that in our parks instead 4 of not just emptying out the trash receptacles, 5 but then also picking up any other trash around 6 it. 7 And I think my biggest concern and 8 even over the past few weeks with what I've 9 been mentioning about the parks that we've been 10 to is making sure that we're maintaining them 11 because we have put a lot of money into our 12 city's parks over the past few years and with 13 ARPA dollars. 14 And I -- I don't want -- I'm already 15 seeing a few years later things deteriorating 16 in our parks with equipment. So that's 17 concerning to me. And I want to make sure all 18 that money that we put in was a good investment 19 and that kids and families and people are going 20 to get a lot of use out of our parks for years 21 to come without us having to put all of that 22 money in again so -- so soon. 23 So that's -- that's where that's 24 coming from me. So that's all that I have. 25 Thank you.  67 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 2 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 3 motions or comments? 4 MR. MCANDREW: A couple. 5 (Inaudible) okay, so stormwater, storm drains, 6 hot topic we're talking about it all the time. 7 And it's an issue. We all realize it's an 8 issue. So I got -- someone reached out to me 9 in Minooka. 10 And his concern is the 3200 block of 11 Cedar Avenue does not have stormwater catch 12 basins, period, okay. So rain water collected 13 by the streets spills onto a property on the 14 west side of the street. Subsequently the 15 runoff floods the Oak Avenue properties. 16 Generally the following exists, the 17 contributing factors include street elevation 18 above property, no catch basins, lack of 19 curbing and sidewalks and driveways. Currently 20 the residents of Oak Avenue are the stormwater 21 managers of Cedar Avenue. 22 But unfortunately it appears to me 23 that they are losing this battle. You know, 24 they've kind of take it upon themselves, which 25 they probably -- you know, it's admirable. But  68 1 they shouldn't have to. 2 When I was younger, it was a 3 challenge but now it's a burden. I get that. 4 I was watching Council meetings and I'd like 5 for you to bring this up. 6 So please have -- and I have -- no, 7 I don't have a picture for this. But could you 8 please, Mr. Voldenberg, you know, reach out to 9 administration and make them aware or alert 10 them to the fact that, you know, there's an 11 issue there. 12 I don't know if it's part of the 13 overall plan. I don't know. But if it isn't, 14 it probably should be. Since we're going to do 15 this once, some of these areas we might have to 16 rethink are in worse shape than others or the 17 contribute to others. 18 So we have to take a look at it, 19 okay? And then Mr. King I know addressed 20 McDonough and Colliery Mr. Coyne brought up. 21 When I heard about the Porta Potty, you know, 22 with -- with regards to, you know, submerged 23 in water and containing fecal matter, that -- 24 near a park, that scares me or in the park even 25 scares me more because fecal matter contain or  69 1 potentially contain E. Coli which for the most 2 part is hemorrhagic colitis. 3 Just those two words together knows 4 what happens when you come in contact with this 5 and especially kids with developing immune 6 systems, might not fair well with this. Some 7 die because of E. coli. So this is -- this is 8 just basic sanitation, basic safety. Let's 9 keep our eye on that. Let's definitely make 10 everyone in the administration aware of that. 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 12 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Also, 13 this was also brought to my attention. So 14 everybody knows about the crosswalks all over 15 the city, right? And, you know, they're here 16 and some people are -- they are thrilled with 17 them. 18 So but here's an example. I don't 19 know during that whole process or when that 20 project was put together if there was any what 21 ifs taken into consideration. And one what if 22 being the intersection of East Gibson and North 23 Webster Avenue. 24 This gentleman states my 25 neighborhood -- and we've had influx of small  70 1 children and it's a safety concern for me. 2 It's bad enough people blow through that stop 3 sign like it's not even there. But I think the 4 crosswalks that were painted there make a big 5 difference. 6 And he was thrilled. But guess what 7 happened? Utility company came and dug it up 8 right at that intersection. I have pictures 9 for it. So I don't know. And, you know, I 10 looked on PennDOT's website who is responsible, 11 whether, you know, if it's a state road or a 12 city road or even if the utility companies do 13 municipal work, whose responsibility and how 14 much of a responsibility when they resurface or 15 repair or do a pave cut, what's their 16 responsibility? 17 And it was unclear to me and I saw 18 some articles where, you know, it was some 19 pieces where they're not responsible to -- 20 unless there's an agreement with engineers. 21 And, you know, there's criteria. There's this 22 and Department of Transportations 23 recommendations. 24 So what I would like to know is, you 25 know, since these -- and I know this company,  71 1 very expensive company came in and did them all 2 and they're probably gone, which whatever, 3 almost half a million dollars. But what -- 4 and I don't want to back and forth with 5 inquiries, you know, what are we going to do. 6 So what I do want is this one 7 repaired as soon as possible. I know what we 8 have very capable and talented people in the 9 DPW that used to do this and still do it. But 10 I also want to know from the City Engineer what 11 is -- what is exactly the process or what is 12 his understanding since he's a pave cut expert 13 now per se because like I -- like I said, I 14 reached out to the state. 15 I looked on my own. Nothing is very 16 clear. But I hope during this whole project 17 this was the thought process what happens when 18 we dig them up. It's already too late. We 19 know there's horrible communication between 20 the, you know, utility companies and this 21 happens all the time where, you know, we start 22 paving streets, digging them up. 23 But for right now for the most part, 24 I'm concerned about the crosswalks because this 25 resident is and brought it to my attention.  72 1 And I'm concerned about it too. So, you know, 2 instead of going any longer, I just want to 3 know what the plan is when this happens because 4 I'm hearing since I got this inquiry that it's 5 happened more than once throughout the city 6 where, you know, there's a freshly painted 7 crosswalk and it's being dug up and it's not -- 8 it's no longer a crosswalk if the majority of 9 it is gone. 10 So I'd like to know, like I said, I 11 don't want to be back and forth, you know, with 12 dialogue. I'd like to see this fixed if they'd 13 please go out and fix it and remedy this and 14 any other ones that they're aware of. And then 15 just an explanation or what the plan is for 16 this. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 18 it. 19 MR. MCANDREW: Because we did do, we 20 amended the pave cut legislation, the 21 ordinance, right? Maybe when these utility 22 companies have to pull a permit or fill out 23 that permit that this is somewhere stated in 24 there, you know, they encounter or dig up any 25 crosswalks because they're everywhere or any  73 1 lines that, you know, will affect the safety of 2 traffic. 3 But that's part of their 4 responsibility. I don't think it's a big deal. 5 I don't think it will cost much. And I know 6 because if it's not language there, they're not 7 going to do it. And I get that. So please, I 8 know I said a lot and threw a lot at you, but 9 if you, please, you know -- 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: I made note. I'll 11 take care of it. 12 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you very much. 13 And that's all I have. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 15 I have a few things from our finance meeting 16 that was held September 24th, the year-to-date 17 interest earned on taxpayer dollars as of this 18 morning just broke $700,00. 19 And another thing that stood out 20 down there was our health insurance for all of 21 the departments, it looks like it's going to be 22 above average. And it looks like it's going to 23 go over budget for all departments. 24 And it's because of the prescription 25 costs and the dramatic increase in our  74 1 prescriptions. So that is a big concern. 2 We're already looking for options for next year 3 to see what we could do about that. 4 Next is, our audit. It's done. And 5 there was zero findings. So thanks to Eileen 6 Cipriani, Matt Domines, Andy Marichak, Adam 7 Joyce, Jimmy Greenfield, Sherri Frable, 8 Melissa Saddlemire, Tom Rainey, and Attorney 9 Jessica Eskra. 10 This is the first time that I know a 11 minimum of 20 years that our audit is in on 12 time. So I believe that is a huge thing to see 13 finally get done. And these people did a great 14 job and I want to thank them for it. And the 15 other thing I have is, our statement of 16 financial interest for anybody on boards or 17 anything on the City of Scranton, this is taken 18 care of by the City Council Office. 19 And we keep track of them. We were 20 contacted by the Chairman on the Ethics Board. 21 He will be in to review these. Now, we are 62 22 short. If you're on a board or a commission, 23 you are not allowed to participate if you do 24 not have this in. 25 So, Mr. Voldenberg, will you send  75 1 this to the Law Department tomorrow -- these 2 names and request that either they put them in 3 or move along. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. All right. 6 I believe that's -- oh, the data center. I 7 got mail but no return address. So I'll 8 answer your question. Nondisclosure forms, no, 9 I have not signed any to hide anything from the 10 public that I know of plans of something to be 11 built in the City of Scranton. 12 I know none of that. I've never 13 signed a nondisclosure form, nor would I ever 14 sign it. So and I don't believe anyone else on 15 Council has. I hope you are watching or that's 16 your answer because I don't have an address for 17 you. All right. Thank you. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

PREVIOUSLY 19 TABLED - FOR THE CONSIDERATION BY THE COMMITTEE 20 ON PUBLIC SAFETY - FOR ADOPTION - FILE OF THE 21 COUNCIL NO. 95, 2025 - AUTHORIZING ENTRY LEVEL 22 EMPLOYMENT IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT 23 COMPETITION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AFFECTING 24 PUBLIC SAFETY. 25 MR. SMURL: What is the  83 1 recommendation of the Chairperson for the 2 Committee on Public Safety? 3 MR. MCANDREW: As chairperson for 4 the Committee on Public Safety, I recommend 5 final passage of Item 7-E. 6 MR. KING: Second. 7 MR. SMURL: On the question? 8 MR. KING: On the question, I'm 9 thrilled to support this. It's going to allow 10 our police department to get up to full 11 capacity so that we have a full complement of 12 police officers on the street taking some 13 stress off some of our existing officers who 14 are, you know, putting in overtime and what 15 have you to try to make sure that our city is 16 safe. 17 This -- we fund I believe 152 18 positions and we're shy right now of probably 19 about seven or eight. So this will help 20 eliminate having to wait that 18 month process. 21 And all of these officers that are going to be 22 appointed will have the proper certification, 23 Act 120 certification. So I'm happy to support 24 this. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King.  84 1 Anyone else on the question? 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Also on the question, 3 I would like to thank, Council, for, you know, 4 voting to table this so we could get an answer 5 from the Civil Service Commission. I'd like to 6 thank Solicitor Gilbride for reaching out and 7 getting us that answer from the Civil Service 8 Commission. 9 It helps us to make a decision. As 10 I said earlier in the meeting it would have 11 been nice if that was sent to Council 12 originally. I think maybe it would have 13 eliminated some of those questions. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 15 Anyone else? 16 MR. MCANDREW: Yes, so I'm happy 17 with this process -- this literal move process. 18 And it's needed, you know, for manning numbers 19 and staffing because we struggle with it and 20 the public needs as many police as we could 21 put on the street. So I'm happy with this. 22 And I'm also happy that we paused, 23 right, and because we weren't sure and it was a 24 point of contention that was, hey, was -- was 25 the members of the Civil Service Commission,  85 1 you know, were they involved in the process? 2 Do they embrace this process? 3 So I want to also thank my 4 colleagues here for, you know, taking the 5 pause. I also want to thank Solicitor Gilbride 6 for reaching out and we got somewhat of a legal 7 opinion, all right? My understanding they 8 still have to meet to really give us a formal 9 one. 10 And they have to meet after we 11 approve this. So my understanding, you know, 12 this piece of paper may not be an official 13 legal opinion but it's a blessing from them. 14 So we'll take it at that. And for any reason 15 this goes sideways, we have the power to change 16 it and fix it. And we will. So I'm very happy 17 to vote for this. Thanks. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 19 Anyone else? Roll call, please. 20 MS. CARRERA: Mr. King. 21 MR. KING: Yes. 22 MS. CARRERA: Mr. Schuster. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 24 MS.
