SMURL: Are there any comments 2 on any of the Third Order items? 3 MR. SCHUSTER: I have a comment on 4 one of the Third Order items, Item 3-F. So it 5 was the agenda for the city Planning Commission 6 meeting held November 19th. So can we -- I 7 know that they don't approve their minutes 8 prior to next month's meeting, but can we reach 9 out and get the minutes so we know what exactly 10 happened at the Planning Commission meeting? 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I checked on that 12 today. And they are not yet prepared. But 13 I'll follow up tomorrow. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 15 very much. At that meeting do we know -- so I 16 have a couple questions about what happened at 17 that meeting. Can we ask if plans were 18 presented by Geisinger at that meeting? Who 19 put it on the agenda for the Planning 20 Commission? What members were present that 21 night? What was the actual vote? 22 And then the meeting took place in 23 the Governor's room next door. Was there any 24 meeting that was scheduled in Council Chambers 25 that night for the meeting to be moved over to  6 1 the Governor's room? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask all of 3 those questions. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. That's 5 it. 6 MR. MCANDREW: I have similar 7 talking points I'll reserve for Fifth Order 8 with regards to that. 9 MR. SMURL: Anything else? If not, 10 received and filed. Do any Council members 11 have any announcements at this time? 12 MR. MCANDREW: I don't have an 13 announcement, just a wish. I'd like to wish 14 everybody a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you're 15 surrounded by the people you love and have some 16 really good food. That's all I have on that. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Also Happy 19 Thanksgiving. 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 21 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 22 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 24 Scranton. Next week, Tuesday, December 2nd 25 through Saturday, December 6th, the library  7 1 will be having its pre Christmas book sale at 2 the Marketplace at Steamtown on the second 3 floor right in front of Crunch Gym. And a lot 4 of the books they sell for one or two dollars, 5 are in pristine condition. 6 They would make great Christmas 7 gifts, especially for children, you know, and 8 support literacy for your children if you want 9 them to have a good education. Okay, has there 10 been any progress finding somebody to become 11 the new Director of DPW? 12 MR. SMURL: I haven't heard 13 anything. 14 MS. HODOWANITZ: No, okay. And 15 they're still working on their collective 16 bargaining agreement? 17 MR. SMURL: I would hope. 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. At least 19 they're working on it. With regard to the 20 budget, I had a long talk with Matt. And my 21 concern was looking at the police department. 22 There's a line item in there which says Social 23 Security $509,000. 24 Now, you need to understand that the 25 uniform police do not pay Social Security.  8 1 What that line should say is it FICA tax and 2 there should be a footnote at the bottom of the 3 page which you can do in Excel. 4 You put a footnote there and it says 5 this $509,000 is compromised of Social Security 6 and Medicare for various public safety 7 departments, basically fire and police. That's 8 how you get the grand total of $509,000. 9 And I asked -- I asked Matt, "Well, 10 why do you have that labeled Social Security 11 and you put it in the police department and 12 they do not pay that?" He says, "This is the 13 way it's always been done." So he has agreed 14 for next year to change it to a FICA tax with a 15 footnote explaining how that figure is broken 16 down. 17 And, you know, you may think, well, 18 this is kind of nitpicking in the weeds. The 19 taxpayers should be able to look at that budget 20 and understand what it says. And when you 21 start confusing them with this kind of 22 nonsense, you know, I mean, this is not 23 transparency. 24 This is not the kind of full 25 disclosure when you are talking about the  9 1 expenditure of tax dollars. It may sound like 2 a little thing, but it's this kind of attention 3 to detail that you need when you're handling 4 our money. 5 I was happy about one thing, you 6 know, I saw the overtime statistics through the 7 month of November and the grand total, 105 8 percent. And if you look at the proposed 9 budget, they have increased the figure up to 10 117 percent. 11 So they are trying to adjust 12 overtime figures so that they will reflect the 13 actual expenditures that they expect next year. 14 The only other thing is 5-F, this 3 million 15 dollars to buy the Fidelity Bank. I'm not 16 convinced that you need that building because 17 you're too crowded in this building. 18 I'm a little concerned that what 19 we're actually doing is buying a building where 20 the general public could go to get a permit, to 21 pay their tax bill, anything that requires 22 having contact with the city employees and that 23 this building would be locked down and we'll 24 never get in here, except for maybe the City 25 Council meeting at night.  10 1 Somebody really needs to justify to 2 me this 3 million dollars nontaxable debt which 3 we're adding to the city's finances. Do we 4 really need that Fidelity Bank building or are 5 we just trying to divert the general public 6 away from City Hall during the daytime? 7 I'm still not convinced that we have 8 a massive security issue that the general 9 public cannot come into this building. We came 10 into it for years and everybody survived. I 11 don't know why we have to change. Thank you. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. I do 13 have one announcement. 5-C on the agenda 14 tonight, we had to remove it. It will be put 15 back on for next week. There was an error 16 found. Next on the list is Tyler. 17 MR. WARDEN: Hi, Council members. 18 My name is Tyler Warden. And I am a homeless 19 person -- a homeless individual that lives in 20 the city. I'm trying to find out what is the 21 Council doing to help us because we are like a 22 community. 23 We all work together, help each 24 other out, food, clothing and all of that. But 25 what are you guys going to help us do to  11 1 survive? We have been -- I've been hearing 2 from organizations that we are being illegally 3 evicted from our campsites in the middle of 4 winter. 5 And I'm trying to figure out, is 6 there a solution we could come up working with 7 the city and working with the homeless people 8 because we don't feel comfortable going to 9 cops at all. And that's become an issue with 10 between law enforcement and us trying to work 11 together and see what we could do. 12 So any -- I was wondering if you had 13 any thoughts or any ideas on how you could help 14 us because it's getting pretty bad. 15 MR. SMURL: Okay, Tyler, I'm not 16 totally up on what the new plan is. I know 17 they're working on something. But I could 18 find out. Mr. Voldenberg, if you could ask the 19 administration if they did come up with what 20 we're going to do and if we're going to be 21 taking camps down? 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 23 MR. WARDEN: Okay, and one more 24 thing. I would like to know if there's a way 25 that maybe the homeless community could get  12 1 involved in helping Council members make 2 decisions since we live the lifestyle, we know 3 exactly what goes on the streets. 4 And I already talked to the Mayor 5 about some cost effective options that work in 6 other cities that I was in like tiny homes 7 instead of like, you know, campsites where they 8 could throw trash everywhere and mess it up, 9 you know? 10 Maybe do like a trash program where 11 it's an incentive, get a tiny home which is 12 basically a house -- a small house built on a 13 trailer and maybe trash cans around some of 14 these spots, you know, that are campsites to 15 help, you know, control the amount of DPW 16 coming in and having to remove trash. And I 17 hear that's very expensive. 18 MR. SMURL: Okay. Well, all of that 19 that you've said is the administration and that 20 you spoke to the right person. You spoke to 21 the Mayor. I would continue on that track. 22 MR. WARDEN: Okay. Thank you. 23 That's all I got for tonight. Thank you, guys. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Tyler, can I ask you  13 1 a question? 2 MR. WARDEN: Yes. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: What other cities 4 were you in? 5 MR. WARDEN: I was homeless in 6 Nashville, Tennessee where they did the same 7 thing. And it was very effective in reducing 8 the number of homeless individuals on the 9 streets. 10 I worked with many organizations in 11 Nashville as well. They were trying to find 12 out ways to help. I also was with an 13 organization that went to Washington, DC and 14 sat on the Capitol and we did peaceful 15 protests. 16 And they were there because they 17 were trying to ban homelessness which would 18 make it harder for homeless people to have a 19 spot to stay. You know, they wanted us out of 20 the city. They were going to throw us in jail 21 or three -- six years and $3,000 fine every 22 time we would be caught homeless on the street. 23 And that would have been detrimental 24 to, you know, people feeling safe and a lot of 25 stuff went on in the homeless community that I  14 1 think we could actually improve on and make it 2 a better situation for the city and for 3 homeless individuals all together. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Now, when you're here 5 in Scranton, what services do you access? 6 MR. WARDEN: There are very limited 7 resources here. I have -- as far as places to 8 stay overnight, we have one overnight shelter 9 that services all of Lackawanna County and is 10 not even any room. Code blue is run out of the 11 same shelter. 12 And what I want to know, why Weston 13 Field hasn't been reopened. That was a bigger 14 venue and it could fit more people. The Olive 15 Street shelter only has, like, 25 men beds and 16 like 4 women's bed. And that's not even big 17 enough to run a code blue out of because you 18 got more than 25 men and 4 women in Scranton 19 that are homeless at any given time due to 20 Keystone shutting down and the fact that they 21 shut down the Wilkes-Barre one. 22 And a lot of people are coming from 23 Wilkes-Barre because Wilkes-Barre is cracking 24 down and throwing people in jail for being 25 homeless.  15 1 MR. SCHUSTER: When you go to the 2 shelter at night, about how many individuals 3 are there; do you know? 4 MR. WARDEN: On any given day, there 5 could be like three beds on the men's side 6 available with all the other men that normally 7 stay there, like, every day year round. The 8 women's beds are never available. There is not 9 one women's bed every time I stayed in there, 10 not one. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 12 you. 13 MR. WARDEN: You're welcome. Thank 14 you. 15 MR. SMURL: Mike Mancini. 16 MR. MANCINI: Mike Mancini, good 17 evening, Scranton. There was a Planning 18 Commission last week. There was -- where there 19 was approval for the GCMC project. I do not 20 believe that the public and local media outlets 21 were properly notified. 22 Because of this reason alone, it 23 should be appealed. Here's my suggested 24 compromise, mind you, very smart people do 25 think alike. The parking garage needs to be  16 1 taken out of the equation and built at the 2 location where the employees currently park 3 their vehicles at Nay Aug. 4 I'm sure the brilliant minds with 5 Geisinger would immediately have ideas for the 6 extra square footage. I expect to see an 7 increase in citizenship to our local region 8 once the railway system is introduced. 9 We do appreciate GCMC and their 10 amazing employees and embrace expansion on -- 11 for this well-funded and well-needed project, 12 but not in its current condition. I hope that 13 all parties could resolve this dispute and 14 consider my recommendation. 15 Thank you to Geisinger for wanting 16 to invest in our future and taking care of us 17 in a time of need, willing to expand for the 18 right reasons. That very same railway will 19 attract and introduce unruly individuals to our 20 region including Scranton, guns, drugs, and 21 gangs, something that we are already familiar 22 with. 23 Once the railway system is 24 introduced to Scranton, the trouble south and 25 east of us will be increased in our own  17 1 hometown. Future -- I politely asked for 2 months and recently with sharper words that 3 once -- that would one of you or all of you 4 please answer our concerns related to the 5 safety, the future of Scranton. 6 Some concerns that are a matter of 7 life or death like the city opioid related 8 deaths without justice. Last week, Scranton 9 lost a friend, a family lost a loved one. 10 Prayers to everyone who knew him, especially 11 the family. 12 I know that feeling too well. They 13 deserve justice like so many other families. I 14 was told by our Police Chief that all drug 15 dealers have burner phones and that we 16 eventually catch them doing other things. I 17 was recently corrected by a Scranton Police 18 Officer that we have well over 2,000 active 19 warrants. How safe does that sound to you? 20 It's the very same reason why the 21 prison overtime is at an all time low, not 22 everyone is held accountable for their actions. 23 Tonight Council needs to be held accountable. 24 And the technician for ECTV, please split the 25 screen with Council and myself. Thank you.  18 1 You know the questions. As a 2 referral, I will ask again. Where is the 3 breakdown with the police department as to why 4 not one family receives justice over a loved 5 one's opioid related death? 6 What is the current process for 7 taking the active bad actors with warrants off 8 of our streets and making them safer? How many 9 warrants are active? What's the difference 10 between the former Drug Task Force and the 11 current structure? 12 Are there less police officers 13 specific to drug related crimes? When is the 14 next unhoused task force meeting? This will be 15 the last time that I will ask these questions 16 politely. Refusal comes with recourse. While 17 getting rest, remember these words. Think 18 about the families and friends without justice 19 for their loss. 20 I will have justice in a couple 21 weeks. Still lose sleep over missing my son. 22 Which one of you would like to ask Mr. 23 Voldenberg to forward my questions to Chief 24 Carroll and the administration? This past week 25 we lost an amazing guy, experienced two  19 1 separate machete incidents in one day. 2 One of those machetes was used to 3 attack a female. Our city also experienced a 4 homeless camp that burnt to the ground. How 5 important is the safety and the future of 6 Scranton to each one of you? Not answering my 7 safety concerns does not make them go away. 8 Neither will I. 9 If you choose to -- if you choose to 10 ignore not only my concerns, but also those of 11 so many others, consider yourselves as an 12 accomplice to the current climate, the 13 assaults, the burglaries, the armed robberies 14 and every unwanted death. One victim is too 15 many. Which one of you is going to ask Mr. 16 Voldenberg tonight? Anybody? But the three of 17 you sit there and -- 18 MR. MCANDREW: These answers -- you 19 just talked to Chief Carroll. All right. You 20 posed them questions to him. He should -- 21 MR. MANCINI: You're the head for 22 public safety. You should be asking those -- 23 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. Okay. I'm not 24 going to engage you. But the answers you seek 25 about prosecution you asked last week, that's  20 1 not our purview. Prosecution -- 2 MR. MANCINI: Two thousand warrants. 3 You're the head of public safety, the chair for 4 public safety. 5 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. All right. I 6 know that. 7 MR. MANCINI: Two thousand. Is that 8 a concern of yours? 9 MR. MCANDREW: Listen -- yes, but 10 there's a process. 11 MR. MANCINI: Then ask him how many 12 there are? Ask him what the process is. Ask 13 him why there's so many. 14 MR. MCANDREW: The DA prosecutes. 15 The police make the arrests. There is a 16 process. 17 MR. MANCINI: Right. Nobody is 18 getting arrested, Mark. Do you understand 19 that? Nobody. Nobody. And yet, you're 20 silent. But yet you -- 21 MR. MCANDREW: I'm not silent. 22 MR. MANCINI: You're not asking -- 23 you're not asking the questions. The concern 24 is simple. People are dying. There's a 25 railway system coming through. And you refuse  21 1 to even get the concerns addressed. 2 But yet, you're going to be begging 3 for the support of the FOP again. Very 4 shameful. Good night, everybody. Happy 5 Thanksgiving. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Patricia 7 Spalletta. 8 MS. SPALLETTA: Good evening, 9 Council. My name is Patricia Spalletta, 10 resident of the Hill Section. I'm going to 11 read portions of a letter that was drafted by 12 Mr. Scacchitti and sent yesterday to Nick 13 Coleman at GCMC on behalf of the park area 14 residents. Copies have been sent to you in an 15 e-mail. 16 "There is great concern by the 17 affected neighbors and other Scranton residents 18 regarding the proposed zoning amendment 19 advanced by the Mayor on behalf of GCMC which 20 will undo the zoning compromise for both the 21 200 and 400 blocks of Colfax Avenue which the 22 park area residents and neighbors were able to 23 achieve a year and a half ago when Scranton 24 City Council adopted a comprehensive zoning 25 ordinance along with other communities in  22 1 Lackawanna County. 2 In connection with the comprehensive 3 zoning ordinance adopted in 2023, the Mayor 4 proposed the same zoning classification as is 5 presently before Scranton City Council. The 6 net effect of what the Mayor wanted then and is 7 promoting now is shown on this photograph. I 8 think this will be included in the e-mail -- of 9 the 400 block of Arthur Avenue with a 120 foot 10 garage on the easterly side of the 400 block of 11 Colfax Avenue. 12 At last week's Council meeting, 13 Council President Smurl suggested to the 14 neighbors that we should attempt a meeting with 15 GCMC representatives to discuss the proposed 16 zoning amendment and the prospect of an 17 agreement as to an alternative to the zoning 18 change that will give both GCMC and the 19 neighbors something that we can -- both sides 20 can live with. 21 Such an agreement will allow GCMC's 22 proposed development plan to go forward without 23 destroying the fabric of the adjacent 24 residential community. On behalf of the park 25 area residents and neighbors and other  23 1 concerned Scranton residents, we request to 2 meet with you and other GCMC representatives to 3 discuss entering into a community benefits 4 agreement or CBA. A CBA is typically used when 5 there is a conflict between developers and the 6 community. 7 The CBA would include but not be 8 limited to issues that would come before the 9 Scranton Zoning Hearing Board, such as, height 10 restrictions, setbacks, screening, lighting, 11 noise, etc., that would allow the GCMC proposed 12 development to go forward without zoning 13 approval other than to the extent as may be 14 necessary in the actual construction phase. 15 A CBA will address all of these 16 issues to our mutual satisfaction and will 17 serve as a basis for further agreement between 18 GCMC and the affected neighbors and 19 neighborhood going forward. We would like to 20 invite you and other representatives of GCMC to 21 meet with the park area residents and neighbors 22 and other Scranton residents who are concerned 23 about the impact on Nay Aug Park on Monday, 24 December 1st in the early evening hours at the 25 Nay Aug Park Community Room at the Olive Street  24 1 entrance. 2 It will be helpful if you could 3 bring the proposed plans, drawings, etc., 4 intended to be presented at the caucus before 5 Scranton City Council on Tuesday, December 2nd, 6 2025 to aid in our discussion of a possible 7 compromise. 8 We are hopeful that GCMC 9 representatives will participate in this 10 overture for a good faith settlement 11 discussions. Thank you." 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Len Srebro. 13 MR. SREBRO: Good evening, Council. 14 It's been a while since I've been here. Did 15 you miss me? 16 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah. 17 MR. SREBRO: Just like a migraine, 18 right? Okay, what's going on is this past 19 summer -- oh, yeah, Happy Thanksgiving to you 20 guys. 21 MR. MCANDREW: Thanks. 22 MR. SREBRO: And you people too. 23 The flooding problem at Keyser Valley here, you 24 know, it still exists. We've been pretty lucky 25 this year during the summer except for two  25 1 really nasty storms that the neighbors all got 2 flooded. 3 You know, so after that, DPW put in 4 new curbs; but we don't know yet if they do 5 anything. But what I'm really here to bring to 6 attention on the 2300 block Lafayette Street 7 has a gravel ditch that runs down to the 8 retention pond in the corner by my property 9 there. 10 That ditch is not a ditch anymore. 11 It's filled with debris. The leaves now that 12 have fallen and the wind just tends to blow 13 them in that direction. I'm hoping that we 14 could get DPW to clean out that ditch because 15 with that ditch filled, I mean, I do know the 16 flooding process how it works. 17 If it's not being taken to that 18 pond, the water comes over the road, goes into 19 my property and then all the other neighbors, 20 it goes right through the properties. So I'm 21 hoping that, you know, we could get DPW up 22 there to get their flushing or vacuum machine. 23 Now the pond that ditch goes to, I 24 don't know. You have to get the supervisor to 25 determine if that needs to be flushed too. I  26 1 mean, we found out over the years that 2 maintaining help in the flooding problem, you 3 know, whatever is yet to come. So, you know, 4 that's what I'm hoping for to, you know -- 5 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, can 6 you alert DPW to Lenny's issues and see if they 7 could rectify them? 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 9 MR. SREBRO: Thank you. Now, I 10 noticed when the fire department was here on 11 one of their posts, they had the SFD initiative 12 for an emergency plan for the floodplains. 13 Jeez, I don't know anything whatsoever about 14 any kind of emergency flooding plan that they 15 had on there. 16 I'm hoping that I could find out 17 more about it because there is nothing that 18 goes on in the event of a flood. 19 MR. MCANDREW: Can you also get a 20 copy of that? 21 MR. SREBRO: Yeah, so if I could 22 find out anything else, you know. 23 MR. MCANDREW: We'll get you a copy. 24 MR. SREBRO: Okay. Merry Christmas 25 too.  27 1 MR. MCANDREW: You too. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Len. Alan 3 Lucas. 4 MR. LUCAS: Good evening, Council, 5 Alan Lucas, Scranton, President IFF Local 60 6 representing the Scranton Firefighters. 7 Normally I'm here for something different so 8 this is a change of tune. 9 I just wanted to take the time to 10 address City Council tonight and say that I 11 brought up a concern this morning to the Mayor 12 and it was immediately addressed. And it was 13 an increase to safety of the members of Local 14 60. 15 So on behalf of the membership of 16 Local 60, we just want to publically 17 acknowledge and tell her we appreciate her 18 attentiveness to the matter. I usually speak 19 here pubically when we're not going -- not 20 doing well with the Mayor, so it's only right 21 that I acknowledge when something positive does 22 happen. So I just wanted to take a quick 45 23 seconds to do that. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Alan. Les 25 Spindler.  28 1 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 2 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 3 homeowner. Mr. Smurl, you can't pick and 4 choose what rules you enforce. You have to 5 enforce everything the same. 6 Last week you wouldn't allow people 7 to clap. Yes, they can. Under the United 8 States Constitution, that's freedom of 9 expression. For years we came here when Mayor 10 Doherty tried to stop the police and 11 firefighters from getting a contract. 12 These chambers were jammed and 13 everybody clapped and nobody said that we 14 nobody else -- we can't clap. So on the other 15 hand, everybody that came here in support of 16 Geisinger last week, you didn't ask where they 17 were from. You have to be a Scranton resident 18 to speak here. 19 I guarantee none of those people 20 lived in Scranton and you allowed them to 21 speak. So enforce the rules evenly, okay? 22 You'll only be here for another month so, so I 23 don't why I'm wasting my breath because you 24 only do what the Mayor tells you to do anyway. 25 Next thing, yesterday I came across  29 1 a serious situation, was coming down Green 2 Ridge Street towards Main Avenue where the new 3 bridge is being built. And traffic is backed 4 up both ways. It used to be at the top of the 5 hill there where North Scranton Junior High 6 used to be. There were two lanes that turn 7 right and left. 8 Now, they're putting a curb in by 9 where Triumph Auto is -- auto repair and they 10 took one lane away. So there is one lane to 11 come down and one lane to go up. And the 12 traffic is backed all the way down the bridge 13 both ways. 14 And I was behind an ambulance 15 yesterday. It was about a block ahead of me. 16 The ambulance was stuck on the bridge with the 17 siren going, lights going. It must have been 18 there 2 or 3 minutes before it got through the 19 traffic. That's a serious situation. I don't 20 know what could be done. 21 But whoever planned that bridge, 22 they should have put a lane -- an extra lane 23 there for emergency vehicles. Somebody's loved 24 one was -- they were going to pick somebody up 25 probably at somebody's house and they couldn't  30 1 get -- somebody's loved one could have been 2 dying and that ambulance was stuck on that 3 bridge. It's terrible. And that's probably 4 not the first time that's happened. It's just 5 the first time I witnessed it. 6 Whoever designed that plan, they 7 should lose their job because emergency 8 vehicles shouldn't be stuck on a bridge like 9 that. 10 Lastly, I always talk about this 11 idiot in the White House. But Donald Trump, 12 he's unbelievable. I don't know if anybody saw 13 the news last week. He was on Air Force One. 14 And a reporter from Bloomberg asked him about 15 the Epstein files and he said quiet piggy. 16 Then the other day or two later Mary 17 Bruce from ABC asked the same question and he 18 said you're a terrible reporter. You work for 19 a terrible network. What -- what president 20 would ever insult people like that? Never in 21 my lifetime. The guy is an embarrassment and a 22 disgrace to the office of President of the 23 United States. 24 It's unbelievable. And now he's 25 threatening that the six Congress people who  31 1 are war heros -- war veterans who said that 2 military shouldn't obey illegal rules. Illegal 3 is the operative word there. It's in the 4 Constitution. They don't have to obey illegal 5 rules. 6 And he's saying they should be put 7 to death. What kind of man did these people 8 elect? No other president would ever say these 9 things. He's unbelievable. He's got so many 10 unhinged reporters -- supporters, I mean. They 11 was even on the news, they could start going 12 after these people like they did going after 13 the Capitol on January 6th. 14 So it -- he's the one that's 15 unhinged along with a lot of his supporters. I 16 don't know. He should go. Like I said, he's 17 an embarrassment. Thank you for your time and 18 everybody have a Happy Thanksgiving. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan. 20 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 21 Lee Morgan. You know, I listened to Les here, 22 so I figured I'd say, you know, the President 23 is doing -- President Trump is doing such a 24 great job. And I know Les is really wrestling 25 with that, but that's okay.  32 1 The first thing I have here is just 2 a couple brief things. I think the County 3 Commissioner, Chris Chermak should appeal Judge 4 Gibbons' decision in regards to the 5 reassessment. 6 And, you know, it's a lot more 7 complicated than that. But he definitely has 8 to do an appeal of Judge Gibbons' order. The 9 other thing I have is, in the new budget ECTV 10 should become a public educational and 11 government channel. Its funding and its 12 direction should change. 13 This federal case I filed is just 14 really just starting. It's probably going to 15 take a decade or longer to wind through the 16 Court. But in the end, I firmly believe I'm 17 going to prevail. And the sad part is that 18 when you read what the Congress and Senate 19 intended for that channel and by allowing the 20 government itself which is the Council and the 21 way the channel is funded and the Mayor, to 22 steal that asset from the residents who own it 23 is really a crime, an injustice. 24 And to be a representative republic 25 that the Congress and the Senate created a  33 1 channel to give them a voice and have the 2 government move in and let somebody operate it 3 as if they have a right to contain free speech, 4 it's wrong. And in the end I'm going to 5 prevail. 6 And it's really pathetic that I have 7 to do these things. And I think it would 8 behoove the city to save itself because there's 9 going to be a lot more actions coming. I 10 retire in February. I don't think you have a 11 law department big enough to handle what's 12 going to come. And I'm just a truck driver. 13 So imagine if I was a real attorney 14 what would happen. I just think that too many 15 people aren't willing to stand up for what our 16 founders envisioned for us. But the Congress 17 and Senate was straightforward with what it 18 said and what it did when it created those 19 channels and there was a reason for it. 20 The city gave one channel away and 21 then stifled any kind of discussions like the 22 Community Medical Center. That should be an 23 issue that should be really discussed on that 24 channel in depth because doing a zoning change 25 to make anything happen there, I think is  34 1 criminal. 2 And to be honest with you, that 3 hospital is in the wrong place. It's outgrown 4 its footprint. And it can't serve the 5 community from there. Okay, we need to build a 6 new hospital. We need to be in discussions 7 with somebody that could make that happen off 8 the Mulberry Street bridge, probably across 9 from the veterans' hospital or in close 10 proximity to it. 11 Regional has just been completely 12 just neglected by its owner. And Moses Taylor 13 needs to be resurrected as a pregnancy hospital 14 which it serves at this point, okay, and a 15 neonatal intensive care hospital for children 16 and newborns because of where it sits in the 17 neighborhood. 18 We keep doing projects and keep 19 mismanaging this city and it really has to end 20 and somebody has to stand up and make some 21 smart decisions. We all have a lot of respect 22 for the CMC and its staff. But the hospital is 23 antiquated and to make it function is 24 impossible. 25 A modern hospital is something this  35 1 community needs. We had three hospitals. 2 Well, we had four but the Governor killed the 3 State Hospital which was probably the most 4 functional and best hospital in the city at the 5 time. 6 But we can't cry over spilled milk. 7 But we have to build a hospital that's more 8 conducive to treatment of residents and from 9 citizens around this area. And that hospital 10 can't do it. Modern hospitals are much 11 different. The equipment would be much 12 different. 13 The whole thing would be better. 14 Mulberry Street is constricted and it has no 15 place to grow where it is. It needs to move. 16 Thank you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan. 18 That's all for our sign-in sheet. Anybody else 19 wish to speak? 20 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 21 Again, I bring in tonight Chunky soup, Dente 22 Moore Beef Stew and spicy chili. It's 23 Thanksgiving. Not only are people going 24 hungry, some of them just got the food handout 25 from the poor for the turkey handout it was  36 1 tonight in front of the community center. 2 A lot of people probably missed it 3 because there was not a lot of advertisement 4 saying that that was going on. We look at code 5 blue in this city. We say we're trying to 6 make things better. We have a home -- an 7 unsheltered task force that's been in operation 8 now for years. 9 Keystone closed -- announced they 10 closed on June 17th of this year, five months 11 ago. And we're still looking at who should 12 operate a code blue shelter. Maybe it should 13 have been done before code blue was here. 14 Maybe in five months there should have been an 15 initiative, a program, an incentive, a reason 16 to get behind making sure the homeless have a 17 place to go before they're freezing. 18 But like everything else, we wait 19 until the last minute. Be it homeless taking 20 care of the homeless or be it bringing things 21 before City Council that have to be done 22 instantly because there's no time to do it 23 because suddenly it appeared and there's only 24 three weeks left or funding runs out or 25 whatever the excuse.  37 1 It's always an urgency because no 2 one is proactive. Mike had a number of 3 questions here. And a lot of people have 4 questions and a lot of them don't get answered. 5 And I understand how frustrating that is. 6 Sometimes they're not clear and 7 that's the issue. But there are people who are 8 hurting who are looking for answers or just to 9 be heard and listened to. You're aware -- if 10 you looked at anything in the news, I'm sure 11 you're aware that Axon and Flock have recently 12 come up because they're sharing all the photos 13 and data with the Immigration and 14 Naturalization Service. 15 And they have been combing over all 16 of the cameras to locate people, follow, track 17 them and contact police departments to track 18 who they determine are suspicious people 19 through these cameras. It is now been 20 discovered. Not only do we know that they look 21 at political stickers on cars and mark those 22 down in their database, but they've also been 23 known -- they've also been used for civil 24 protests and meetings for doing facial 25 recognition.  38 1 It's gone beyond license plate 2 readers to surveillance. And what we have here 3 with putting in Flock and these cameras is a 4 surveillance network that is not for the 5 benefit of the City of Scranton. It's also to 6 the detriment when INS is using it to search 7 your own population without you even knowing 8 it. 9 Moving on, community care, Geisinger 10 has a community care center behind Sheetz. 11 It's two or three stories tall. It's tucked 12 back in there. It's right off the Scranton 13 Expressway. And that's someplace that no one 14 in the area probably -- right on the other side 15 of the school would have a problem with 16 something 120 feet. 17 You could build up. There is room 18 back there. There is land back there. That's 19 the place to build something like that. Leave 20 the critical care up at the hospital. Build an 21 expansive care center and beds down next to the 22 expressway. There's rooms and there is not the 23 community upset for it. 24 Moving on, tonight we have on the 25 agenda 7-E for Dwayne Heisler. Did any of you  39 1 look at it or review it and review the 2 documents for him? Mr. Smurl, did you 3 specifically when you had paperwork here 4 signally him out take a look? Or how about 7-G 5 for Joseph Murray as a sitting planing 6 commission? 7 None of them have filed the 8 financial information paperwork and none of 9 them are allowed to act in the positions they 10 are in now. Why are we reelecting them or 11 appointing them when they're not allowed 12 currently because they're not in compliance 13 with the Sophe regulations. 14 And you brought this, Mr. Smurl, 15 before this body into the Legal Department so I 16 don't know how you're not aware that these 17 people on this -- 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 19 MR. COYNE: Do your job. 20 MS. O'MALLEY: Hello, Barbara 21 O'Malley, city resident. I have spoken on the 22 CMC before but that's not why I'm at the podium 23 tonight. I want to offer a thank you to Mr. 24 Voldenberg for helping with the sound in 25 Council.  40 1 I'll give you a little bit of a 2 background. I was here two meetings. And 3 after the last one I did e-mail Frank and 4 ask -- I told him I couldn't hear. I have -- I 5 do have a hearing loss. It's a little humbling 6 to have to admit. Maybe too much rock music in 7 my youth. I don't know. 8 But I'm walking in the shoes of 9 people who can't -- you know, I think -- I'm 10 sorry, dad, for all the times I lost my 11 patience with you when, you know, when he was 12 losing his hearing. So at any rate, I did take 13 the time to e-mail and ask if something could 14 be done in City Council Chambers because it's 15 really important to be able to participate in 16 what's going on and next week is a vital 17 meeting for those of us who are concerned about 18 Geisinger. 19 So initially Frank in his response 20 said, gee, you know, people don't really point 21 that out. And I thought about it. And I 22 probably, you know, probably people it's like a 23 one and done maybe, you know, to take the time 24 to; but it's really about Frank and his 25 kindness and his attention because from the  41 1 minute you sit down until the minute you're 2 finished, it's, Mr. Voldenberg, would you look 3 at this? Mr. Voldenberg, can you do this? And 4 he's exceedingly polite. 5 And he's exceedingly kind. And I 6 believe that runs in your family. Was it your 7 uncle who was a City Clerk? Who was in your 8 family that -- 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: Ozzie Quinn. 10 MS. O'MALLEY: Pardon me? Ozzie? 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: Bob Ozzie Quinn. 12 MS. O'MALLEY: A civil servant as 13 well. I really want to thank you, Frank. It 14 means the world to me what you did. I could 15 hear. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: My pleasure. 17 MS. O'MALLEY: I can hear. I could 18 hear everybody. And I also want to thank 19 everybody that came to Council tonight on up 20 there and down here because this is the 21 democratic process. And we all need to be 22 heard, literally and figuratively. So thank 23 you. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Barbara. 25 Anyone else?  42 1 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Dunmore -- I 2 mean, Scranton, Rik Little. I ran for Mayor, 3 came in last. I'd like to talk about the 4 process that everybody is really thinking 5 about. I mean, this is a beautiful city, but 6 not in the right way. 7 I mean, I'm a photographer. I walk 8 around. I see great light. I see all the 9 stonework. I feel all of this energy from 10 hundreds of years of people. And I picked this 11 city to live in. And then they evicted me. 12 And I'd like -- I'd like to give the Tenants 13 Bill of Rights. People are here. 14 It's just -- I mean, this is a good 15 thing that was put out by the renter woman who 16 I've tried to talk to today and when they 17 opened up City Hall about certain things that 18 are wrong in this. I mean, it's good that it 19 comes out. 20 But, you know, I lived in Scranton 21 Housing Authority in the elderly building that 22 was built for the elderly. And I'm elderly. 23 And there is all of these young people in 24 there. And I don't really understand where 25 we're going here. But in the big picture, I do  43 1 understand because I've always been into 2 government. 3 The town I lived in, Wheaton, 4 Illinois my father was like the main person 5 pushing that community into becoming an all 6 American city in 1967. And it was the most 7 heartbreaking thing of my life to have to move 8 from there in 1968 to western New York. 9 But I've learned a lot in running 10 for Mayor and through my life. And there needs 11 to be a good system. I mean, I've been coming 12 here for over six years and talking because I 13 don't understand how it works, you know, when 14 there's a problem, you go to somebody. 15 And there's a chain of command. But 16 I can't see the chain of command but of how it 17 works in the Home Rule Charter city and county. 18 But there's too much legal stuff going on. I 19 mean, I hear that Governor Shapiro is suing -- 20 suing President Trump or HUD or something. 21 All of these lawsuits like Lee 22 Morgan was saying, they just go on forever. 23 It's a thing. And what I notice about this 24 area, it's overly filled with law. There has 25 to be somebody you could go talk to, some sort  44 1 of ombudsman thing, you know, because it's 2 crazy here calling 311 and trying to get an 3 appointment with people. 4 Anyway, there's a lot of people that 5 care about the city. And I've always watched, 6 you know, how my father worked with the 7 different factions in Wheaton, Illinois. And I 8 watch the city of Wheaton, Illinois combined 9 with Naperville, they tore down my high school. 10 And it just went to hell. And I notice a lot 11 of communities, municipalities just go to hell. 12 Even in Pike County, they got rid of 13 their police department so they could use the 14 State Police to save money. Somebody has to be 15 thinking about an intelligent way to have what 16 you have and make the best of it. And there 17 needs to be a map, some sort of map to 18 understand how government works because it, you 19 know, we're in a war with AI really. 20 I mean, you come here. We're 21 talking about surveillance. This is 22 surveillance. And I'm running out of time. 23 But, you know, I've been following this thing, 24 you know, Archbald right up next to the Valley 25 View High School is Lockheed Martin. And I  45 1 know downtown you got General Dynamics. 2 These are globalist factions. And 3 I've seen all of these big politicians come in 4 here signing bombs for a war and that is the 5 biggest problem because the data centers, we're 6 going to make it unlivable here. And it 7 shouldn't be a political thing. People have to 8 talk about it. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 11 MOTIONS. 12 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you 13 have any motions or comments? 14 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll just be quick 15 tonight. Mr. Voldenberg, I have a request for 16 you. Can we check on the paving of Jackson 17 Street? I did get some e-mails and some calls 18 about it if it's going to be paved prior to the 19 winter or if it's going to remain in that 20 condition until the spring. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check into it. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And then 23 I do have two code enforcement addresses I'm 24 going to give over to you. I'll give them to 25 you after the meeting as well as two petitions  46 1 for streetlights that I received earlier this 2 week. So I'll talk to you after the meeting 3 about those. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: Thank you, sir. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Yep. Thank you. 6 That's all, Mr. Smurl. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 8 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 9 comments? 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: No, none at this 11 time. Thank you. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mr. 13 McAndrew, do you have any motions or comments? 14 MR. MCANDREW: I do. I'm sorry, so 15 I said I would speak in Fifth Order. So first 16 of all, thank you for reading the letter that 17 we received and the community benefits 18 agreement. That is something I'm not totally 19 familiar with. But it looks like a good idea. 20 I always say most good ideas come 21 from our residents. So I don't know if that 22 requires an ordinance itself for us so I'm 23 going to task our Solicitor if you would please 24 look into that based on the letter we received 25 and see what that's all about and how that  47 1 would apply to us and how it could benefit. 2 So the plot kind of thickens 3 concerning last week's Planning Commission 4 meeting. I take issue with the meeting too. 5 The day after our meeting, the proposed zoning 6 amendment for Geisinger moved from Fifth Order 7 to Sixth Order and then it was tabled. This 8 was last week. 9 So the day after, there's a planning 10 meeting -- commission meeting. And, you know, 11 this is the proposed zoning amendment for 12 Geisinger. That's actually the name of it now. 13 Every party is calling it now. It's pretty sad 14 that Geisinger has legislation pretty much 15 named for them. It's concerning. 16 So this regular scheduled Planning 17 Commission meeting was moved from City Hall 18 Chambers where meetings are here and recorded 19 and agendas are posted on ECTV. It was moved 20 to the Governor's room where it was not taped. 21 I didn't see an agenda until days later. 22 All right. It was finally posted. 23 So that's concerning as well. Like I said, so 24 this regularly scheduled Planning Commission 25 meeting was moved from City Hall Chambers where  48 1 meetings are recorded and agendas are posted on 2 ECTV to the Governor's room where it was not 3 taped. No agenda was posted anywhere until a 4 day or two after the meeting. 5 For the past week I've been seeking 6 the meeting minutes for this meeting to no 7 avail. Only being told they have to be voted 8 on next meeting and were not yet prepared by 9 the Assistant City Planner who is leaving city 10 employment for a new job. 11 So my questions are, okay, so what 12 was actually voted on? We don't know. The 13 Mayor's proposed amendment for Geisinger, I 14 don't know. Was that voted on in the planning 15 meeting? Proposals from the Mayor aren't voted 16 on in Planning meetings not that I'm, you know, 17 I've ever heard as long as I'm here. 18 Were the plans presented by 19 Geisinger or any plans? Don't know. So is 20 this Planning Commission and not the Mayor's 21 proposed amendment commission? Excuse my 22 language, but this was done half-assed 23 backwards. 24 Geisinger is not appealing our 25 decision two years ago or restarting the  49 1 process by going to the Planning Commission and 2 presenting their plans and then onto zoning to 3 seek the variances. That's process, guys, 4 procedure. 5 I've stated up here more than a few 6 times that I sit in this seat at the pleasure 7 of the residents. We are voted into these 8 seats by residents who want us to be their 9 representatives and their voice making 10 decisions based on their best interest. 11 Do we embrace and engage economic 12 development? Sure. Do we embrace, encourage 13 and welcome better quality healthcare? Of 14 course. In our roles, we are supposed to be 15 fair to everyone we serve. This is why we have 16 authorities, boards, and commissions that 17 provide procedures, processes and continuity. 18 When our biggest developers like 19 John Basalyga, Charlie Jefferson and Art Russo, 20 just to name a few, want to do what they do 21 best, they play by the rules and present their 22 plans to the Planning Commission which are then 23 moved forward to zoning to hash out variances 24 if needed or warranted with public input. This 25 is good government.  50 1 These gentlemen along with other 2 developers have greatly stimulated economic 3 growth, increased revenue to the city and has 4 transformed downtown into something special. 5 There are no special proposed zoning amendments 6 named after them or special treatment given to 7 them through the planning and zoning process. 8 So this has to be rebooted. I mean, 9 this is -- again, this is not about not being 10 for advancement of healthcare. This is about 11 following the process that is not being 12 followed, all right? So like I said, everybody 13 claims along with me they want a compromise. 14 Compromise can only take place in 15 front of the zoning board during the variance 16 request process and will not occur after an 17 amended ordinance. I'm telling you, I don't 18 know what you're being told or what you think 19 you hear. 20 The only thing that Geisinger -- 21 this ordinance -- the amended ordinance is 22 approved, they could come back to zoning if 23 they want to go over 100 feet. They could come 24 back to zoning if there is an issue with 25 setbacks. That is the only other time we're  51 1 going to see them again, folks, if this is 2 passed. 3 I'm not sure if my colleagues 4 understand this could possibly be precedent 5 setting. In all fairness, the residents who 6 voted for us to be their representatives, we 7 need to vote this proposed amendment down and 8 that would task Geisinger to follow the same 9 fair and established good practices that 10 everyone else has to follow. That is all I 11 have. Thank you. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

GILBRIDE: The sales agreement 14 comes down next week. That's for the purchase. 15 This is to get in line the debt if the purchase 16 is decided -- they're going to make the 17 purchase. 18 MR. MCANDREW: I'm sorry, I can't 19 hear you. I apologize. 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: The purpose of this 21 legislation is to -- so the city could go 22 forward to line up the debt. And the city 23 could pay itself back if, in fact, they go 24 forward with the purchase. 25 The ordinance with regard to whether  56 1 or not to purchase the building comes down next 2 week. We just received it today and it will be 3 on your agenda for next week. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Would it make more 5 sense that that comes first or it's -- makes 6 more sense for this to come first? 7 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It's not a matter 8 of making sense. They have to get the -- they 9 have to get the loans in line if they're going 10 to do it. I'm not involved in it. So I can't 11 speak to actually the deal that's happening and 12 how quickly and why they're moving like they 13 are. 14 It could be that Fidelity has 15 another buyer and they're trying to get ahead 16 of that before it occurs. I don't know that 17 because I'm not involved in that sale. I could 18 certainly reach out and try to find out 19 information for you on that. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, let's try to -- 21 moving forward let's find out what's going on 22 there. 23 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Absolutely. 24 MR. SMURL: Okay.
