SCRANTON CITY Planning 22 Commission RESOLUTION PASSED WITH A MAJORITY 23 VOTE RECOMMENDING THE ADOPTION OF THE 2025 24 ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AT THEIR MEETING 25 HELD NOVEMBER 19, 2025.  4 1 3-B. CORRESPONDENCE DATED NOVEMBER 2 25, 2025, FROM CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, 3 REGARDING LICENSING, INSPECTION & PERMITS 4 DEPARTMENT BUDGET TRANSFER. 5 3-C. CORRESPONDENCE DATED NOVEMBER 6 24, 2025, FROM BA/ARPA DIRECTOR, REGARDING ARPA 7 QUARTERLY REPORT DATED OCTOBER 27, 2025. 8 MR. SMURL: Are there any questions 9 on any of the Third Order items? If not, 10 received and filed. 11 Also Item 5-F on the agenda today 12 will not be introduced this evening. Do any 13 Council members have any motions or comments at 14 this time? Announcements? 15 MR. MCANDREW: I don't. 16 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 17 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 18 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz. 20 First I want to comment on the caucus we just 21 had with Geisinger. As someone who gets their 22 medical care through the VA in Wilkes-Barre, 23 many times the VA has referred me to Geisinger 24 either CMC or Mount Pleasant for various 25 services which they could not provide in  5 1 Wilkes-Barre. 2 And the care I receive has always 3 been excellent. So I'm very dependent upon 4 them continuing to have the capability of 5 giving me first rate medical care. So in that 6 sense, I really do like Geisinger. 7 But I don't know, I just the last 8 couple weeks since this legislation has been 9 introduced, I have these red flags keep 10 flashing in my mind. One is the timing of this 11 legislation at the end of the year before there 12 is going to be a change in the makeup of City 13 Council and how votes might turn up next year 14 if this legislation came in January. 15 The other thing is just the whole 16 rationale they're giving for circumventing the 17 zoning board. It just doesn't sound right. 18 I'm not convinced, okay. They have nothing to 19 lose by approaching the zoning board first. I 20 don't know what's going on. 21 You know, so those red flags are 22 bothering me. And, you know, I have an evil 23 mind. Maybe it's because I was in the military 24 for so long and saw conspiracies, you know, 25 those blankety blank Russians and soviets and  6 1 all of these people. 2 But what I want to know is next year 3 when the Mayor is running for Congress and I 4 assume she intends to do that and she releases 5 her financial statements, are we going to see 6 Geisinger as a major contributor to her 7 campaign, you know, because I don't know, you 8 know, she's pushing this. 9 And that's her right to do as the 10 Mayor. But it could have taken a whole 11 different track. And I'm getting a very uneasy 12 feeling. But that's just me and my evil mind. 13 So we'll see because those documents will be 14 available if she does run for Congress next 15 year. Any progress on the collective 16 bargaining agreement for the DPW? 17 MR. SMURL: No comment made to me. 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: You know, we're 19 coming up on one year. December 31st will be 20 one year since they have no contract. How 21 about a director for DPW? I saw in 5-F about, 22 you know, when you have a vacancy in a 23 department head and how you're going to, you 24 know, put people in there and how long and 35 25 days.  7 1 And also, who replaces the Mayor 2 should she drop dead or get elected to 3 Congress? So it will be interesting to see who 4 among you becomes or the new people coming in 5 who becomes the President of City Council. 6 We'll have to watch that one very closely. Why 7 was 5-F removed? You said it was being removed 8 and not being introduced. What was the reason? 9 MR. SMURL: We had a lot of issues 10 with it, the entire Council did. 11 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, so it may 12 come forward in the new year. 13 MR. SMURL: In the new year it may. 14 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Some of the 15 other things, 5-I, about buying Fidelity Bank; 16 one of the reasons was it was going to provide 17 a real time crime center. 18 What in God's name is a Real Time 19 Crime Center? I mean, is that where people go 20 to say I've been robbed? If you could -- 21 MR. SMURL: No, when Chief Carroll 22 was here, he did explain all of that. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: You can't hear him 24 in the back though. 25 MR. SMURL: Oh, okay. Well --  8 1 MS. HODOWANITZ: Anyway, in Fifth 2 Order you could explain that. I assume that, 3 you know, you presuppose you could find a 4 parking space to get to the Real Time Crime 5 Center. The Architectural and Urban Review 6 Commission, five residents knowledgeable and 7 interested in the preservation in historic 8 districts. What are the qualifications for 9 that? 10 We're looking for architects or just 11 people who say I love downtown Scranton. 12 Again, that is pretty vague to me. What are 13 the qualifications to sit on that commission? 14 Thank you. You have a great night. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Gene 16 Barrett. 17 MR. BARRETT: Good evening. I'm 18 here to talk about the hospital in particular, 19 but let everybody understand that none of the 20 neighbors or I know anyone in this audience is 21 opposed to better healthcare, absolutely not. 22 All right. We don't want to be 23 perceived as obstructionists or 24 counter-progressive, etc. All we want is fair 25 treatment, nothing more and nothing less.  9 1 We had a meeting last night with the 2 hospital. It was a relatively productive 3 meeting and we discussed different issues about 4 the project in itself and the concerns of the 5 neighbors and so on. And obviously, one of the 6 major things is the height consideration. 7 I don't remember any -- settlement 8 on the 75 feet. There was discussion let's say 9 on 60 feet and so on. The community benefits 10 approach is something that we see as an 11 opportunity to create a -- kind of a 12 compromise, a mediation between all the parties 13 including the city, the hospital, the neighbors 14 and so on. 15 So I know Attorney Scacchitti 16 couldn't be here tonight. He has written a 17 letter, you know, to the hospital in regards to 18 last night's meeting and some of the 19 discussion, which seem to be headed towards not 20 a settlement but an understanding of how we 21 could reach an agreement or a settlement or 22 mediation, whatever you want to call it that 23 everyone is satisfied. 24 No one wins in these things. 25 Someone loses something. Someone wins  10 1 something and so on. We've all been through 2 that before. But that's where we are 3 attempting to do at this particular point in 4 time. The problem with that is the time 5 constraint. 6 The community benefit approach 7 cannot necessarily -- it can't be accomplished 8 in the timeframe as far as you're -- what 9 you're attaining -- considering legislatively. 10 So that's the problem right now. 11 So we've asked -- basically asked 12 the hospital to kind of back off somewhat to 13 give us time, all the parties to come to some 14 favorable conclusion for all of us. And then 15 the other thing that I spoke about last night 16 and I'll try to complete this as quickly as 17 possible is from logistics standpoint, all 18 right? 19 Having been in military intelligence 20 in the Army, all right, logistics was 21 important. You not only in an order of battle 22 that you reported as an analyst, you not only 23 needed to know what they had and then what you 24 have, okay, but you also needed to know if they 25 were going to leave how are they going to leave  11 1 and if you were going to leave the battle, how 2 were you going to leave and all of those 3 logistics that go into that particular 4 situation. 5 Currently right now, the traffic up 6 at that hospital is absolute bedlam. All 7 right. You come into a pinch point in the 1800 8 block of Mulberry Street. You've got cars on 9 both sides. You've got transport vans. You 10 got people dropping off other people. 11 You got handicap people coming off. 12 You've got Wayne County -- doesn't matter, St. 13 Mary's Villa, all day long traffic, traffic, 14 traffic. And it's just -- it's just an 15 absolute mess. So adding more services to the 16 situation, I just don't know how they're going 17 to do it. 18 Nay Aug Park is constantly busy. 19 Thanks to Council President Smurl and a group 20 of volunteers up there, they've done a 21 tremendous job. The park is much more busier 22 than it ever has been. The pool is now open in 23 the spring of 2026. 24 All right. We have ethnic 25 festivals. We have races. We have  12 1 fundraisers. The list goes on and on. The 2 hospital has constantly delivery of goods and 3 services, tractor-trailers. The tractor itself 4 is the tractor -- that's the truck. 5 Mr. Bolus will know himself, the 6 trailer is typically 53 feet long. All right. 7 If you could see them trying to come off of 8 Mulberry Street making that turn on -- or 9 Harrison Avenue making that turn up Mulberry 10 Street to get to there -- and then the area 11 that they have to get into in the 300 block of 12 Colfax it's just -- it's just a mess, constant 13 vehicles, constant construction. 14 It goes on and on. So it just seems 15 to me -- I just don't know logistically if 16 there is additional services added up there how 17 all of that is going to work. It's going to be 18 absolute bedlam. So that needs to be thought 19 about and looked at which doesn't seem to be in 20 the forefront of discussion at this particular 21 point in time. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Barrett. 23 Mike Mancini. 24 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, 25 Scranton. When you really care about something  13 1 you're critical of its success and hope for the 2 best. What brings me here weekly is the 3 citizens of Scranton. I know the kindness of 4 our hometown. 5 Tonight I will once again talk about 6 safety and the current climate. For months I 7 made Council and our citizens aware of issues 8 involving our safety. For months no one chose 9 to and I quote, "engage me," until last week. 10 Never expected to have a back and 11 forth with any of you regarding the safety of 12 our citizens other than getting our concerns 13 addressed. I've spoken before Council about 14 10,072 charged in the last five years with only 15 1,982 arrested. 16 We're talking about drugs, guns, 17 gang, simple and aggravated assaults, rape, 18 robberies, thefts, unwanted opioid-related 19 deaths. There are well over 2,000 warrants 20 issued for unruly individuals that have not 21 been addressed. 22 Our current climate cannot be pick 23 and choose. Last week Mr. McAndrew and I had a 24 back and forth without resolving my concerns. 25 He stated that it was not in his purview to  14 1 even question my concerns. 2 As the Chair for Public Safety, Mr. 3 McAndrew, since you're receiving a raise next 4 year, you may as well know about your 5 functions and responsibilities. One of them 6 according to the Home Rule Charter states that 7 you serve as a visible point of contact on 8 Council for residents who have concerns about 9 crime, traffic safety, or emergency response 10 bringing those concerns in the Council 11 deliberations. 12 Another is to provide legislative 13 oversight and how public safety policies are 14 implemented including asking questions and 15 requesting information from relevant city 16 departments during meetings. 17 My concerns are well within your 18 purview. Mr. McAndrew, you mentioned last week 19 that I spoke with Chief Carroll. That's fake 20 news. I have not spoken with him regarding any 21 of my concerns. I have asked you and the rest 22 of Council. 23 You mentioned that the District 24 Attorney prosecutes them and our police 25 department arrests them. Warrants are issued.  15 1 We have over 2,000 just sitting. That does not 2 sound safe to me. As a refresher, once again, 3 here are my concerns. 4 Where's the breakdown with the 5 police department as to why not one family 6 locally received justice over a loved one's 7 opioid-related death? What is the current 8 process of taking bad warrant -- sorry, strike 9 that -- taking active warrant, bad actors off 10 of our streets and making them safer? 11 How many warrants are active? 12 What's the difference between the former drug 13 task force and the concern structure? Are 14 there less officers specific to drug related 15 crimes? When is next unhoused task force 16 meeting? 17 I would like to know the drug 18 addiction prevalence rate and the provisional 19 drug overdose death rate for the last five 20 years. Other municipalities throughout the 21 country publish those numbers. Our citizens 22 need to know. 23 Scranton does not publish those 24 numbers. As the Chair for Public Safety, Mr. 25 McAndrew, I believe it's important that you  16 1 know firsthand what our city is currently 2 dealing with personally and looking for those 3 answers. 4 I will try to work to find ways to 5 better our current crime climate. I know the 6 word impact. And I know what it feels like. 7 You could count once again on two hands day of 8 sentencing for the person who took my son's 9 life. 10 I politely ask once again if you 11 would please let Mr. Voldenberg forward my 12 questions to both the Police Chief and 13 administration. Once they are returned, share 14 them with our citizens and then together we 15 could find ways to resolve our concerns. 16 More than likely, we have a railway 17 system coming in 2028. We need to become 18 proactive. If my concerns are not addressed 19 once again, I will become reactive. 20 I will redefine the word filibuster. 21 I will have speakers here every five minutes 22 until 1 a.m. One way or another, the concerns 23 and the safety of our citizens will be 24 addressed. 25 MR. SMURL: Mr. Mancini, what you're  17 1 asking for is a bunch of documentation. 2 MR. MANCINI: I'm not asking for 3 documentation. I'm not asking for specifics. 4 I just want the questions addressed -- 5 MR. SMURL: You want the numbers. 6 You want the numbers. 7 MR. MANCINI: -- however they bring 8 them back. If they're not within the purview 9 or they need to be reasked or changed a little 10 bit, please do that. 11 MR. SMURL: Well, if you want all of 12 that information, you could send a right to 13 know into the police department. That's -- 14 they have the stats. City Council does not 15 have that. 16 MR. MANCINI: City Council could ask 17 that, correct? 18 MR. SMURL: Ask for the 19 documentation? 20 MR. MANCINI: I've been here for 21 months talking about the safety of our city. I 22 have tried to have these questions addressed, 23 like the unhoused task force. Simple question, 24 when is the next meeting? 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have not been made  18 1 aware of the next meeting yet. I don't have a 2 date to give you. When I get notified, I'll 3 let you know, okay? 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 5 MR. MANCINI: In advance. Is 6 anybody going to ask Mr. Voldenberg or do I 7 have to start a filibuster? 8 MR. MCANDREW: Here. Here's the 9 answer to your questions from last week. 10 MR. SMURL: Bob Bolus. 11 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Mark. 12 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Bob Bolus, 13 Scranton. First off, I would like to ask if we 14 could have a moment of silence out of respect 15 to our National Guard Troops that were shot in 16 DC and the young lady whose life was taken by 17 an illegal that executed her right on the 18 street if we could go and remember and forget 19 what our troops really do do. I would just 20 like a moment, if we can. 21 MR. SMURL: Absolutely. 22 MR. BOLUS: Thank you. We got to 23 look at the illegals that have come here. And 24 we got to thank Biden for bringing them. And 25 how do we honor Biden when he looked at his  19 1 watch, saw our guys coming back from 2 Afghanistan in flag draped coffins, and all he 3 did was look at his damn watch. 4 He couldn't even salute them. And 5 yet, this city honors him with Biden Street, 6 signs on 81. It's a slap in all of our faces 7 that we're there when this guy allowed how many 8 illegals into our country that are raping our 9 women, murdering our people. 10 And what do they do? They sit in 11 jail for 20 years because we have a system? 12 They should be immediately executed like they 13 would be in any other country. 14 You know, when I sat here and 15 started listening to some of this -- and I 16 support what Gene had said without me 17 reiterating what he did, he's right on point 18 about the trucks and everything else and the 19 traffic, etc. 20 The expansion is ridiculous. We 21 have two other hospitals here that are starving 22 and screaming for help. And we've ignored 23 them. We're looking at people to buy them. 24 The hell with who wants to buy them. Make them 25 employee owned. Simple as that.  20 1 And put the money behind them from 2 Flynn and everybody else that's out here 3 throwing money all over the place. Put the 4 money behind the employees of those two 5 hospitals and give them the life that they 6 need. 7 We don't need a monopoly that we're 8 getting here with Geisinger. They might as 9 well buy the whole damn city between them and 10 the university. And we're sitting here like 11 idiots letting them do it. 12 As far as the purchase of this 13 building next door, that's about the most 14 asinine thing I've seen since I've been coming 15 here. It has zero purpose for what we want to 16 do. There is parking inside there for a few 17 employees. 18 But who else comes to visit it? 19 Park in the parking garage, walk up in a 20 snowstorm, park somewhere else and try and walk 21 here and there, it has zero purpose, none 22 whatsoever. And they'll prove that tonight is 23 ludicrous and screwing the people in this city 24 because it's a dumb project. 25 You let the one go by that was the  21 1 credit union that had parking and everything 2 else. That was a project. That was something 3 that should have been bought. City vehicles 4 should be converted to natural gas and cut our 5 expenses way down. 6 I want to make -- I donated 600 7 cooked turkeys and turkey breast to the 8 veterans, our fellow veterans in Berwick, 9 Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving so they had a 10 meal to eat. I want everybody to understand 11 out here my dinner is going to go on the 32nd 12 year I'm doing my all day Christmas buffet at 13 St. Pat's, All Saints Academy. 14 I just had 15,000 pounds of cooked 15 turkey breast come in through Plainville Turkey 16 Farms. And I want everybody to know it's open 17 to anyone that doesn't want to be home alone on 18 Christmas. 19 And I'm starting that today because 20 we got a long way down the road. But my 21 phone's been ringing like crazy, just show up 22 if you don't want to be home alone on 23 Christmas. You get an all day buffet. And you 24 get a takeout when you go home. So just show 25 up. Don't call and ask if the dinner is on.  22 1 It's on. And you're hearing that tonight. 2 And it's what we do and everybody 3 else that helps. And as far as this city or 4 the hospital project goes, it should be 5 shelved. And the university should be 6 curtailed on all the stuff they're buying and 7 they're tax exempt. Start giving the people in 8 the city the benefit of making them pay their 9 damn taxes and cut our taxes. Thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Lee Morgan. 11 MR. MORGAN: Good morning -- I mean, 12 good afternoon, Council. The first thing I'd 13 like to talk about today is that, you know, I 14 walked here and we're still having a discussion 15 about this hospital project. 16 I just don't seem to understand how 17 Council itself and the Mayor can't understand 18 that the hospital, CMC, even though they give 19 good care is antiquated. Expansion of 20 something that lacks the technology and the 21 equipment necessary for modern medicine needs 22 to come to Scranton. 23 Now, I had a health episode a couple 24 years ago where I was almost dead, went to 25 Regional. They couldn't do the job. I had to  23 1 go to the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. 2 Cevasco was my doctor. And I had my procedure 3 there. And I'm standing here in front of you. 4 My chance of survival at Regional 5 were almost zero. The doctor there looked at 6 me and said, boy, are you healthy. We're going 7 to take you in and operate on you. So I came 8 back from there. But I had that followup care. 9 So I had to go to the CMC. And I'll 10 acknowledge that they gave me very good care. 11 But they were extremely antiquated. It's not a 12 condemnation of the CMC. It's a condemnation 13 of the government that we have here that you're 14 even envisioning a project like that when the 15 real answer here -- and I don't care what the 16 neighbors think because they have as much 17 knowledge as you have, which is none. 18 And I don't think you're looking for 19 any and you should be because the residents 20 deserve quality healthcare and Geisinger can't 21 deliver it because they are working in an 22 antiquated hospital with antiquated equipment 23 and the whole thing. 24 It's not that their doctors aren't 25 qualified and that they don't do the best job  24 1 they can. The other thing is, that hospital is 2 overwhelmed -- I mean overwhelmed. Just go up 3 there some night and walk into the emergency 4 room, see how that is functioning. It's just 5 brutal. 6 That's the only word I could tell 7 you. And I'm not telling you that they are not 8 trying to deal with it. I just think you guys 9 are in fantasy land. I think that the people 10 that gave this presentation today are in the 11 same land as you are because it's not about 12 expansion and making money. That's not what 13 healthcare is about. 14 It's about delivering care. And you 15 don't have a clue. And the people that sat at 16 this table, they don't have one either because 17 they're trying to get a project done. We need 18 a hospital built across from the Veterans 19 Center. Why, because when people have an 20 emergency, they need to get there fast. 21 They need to have access to where 22 they're going, okay? So if they're coming down 23 the expressway, they're getting there. And if 24 they're coming from the other direction, they 25 come down through Cedar Avenue.  25 1 You could make a corridor to that 2 hospital if you care to do that. But you know 3 what it could would take? Thought. And you're 4 just not cable and neither is the Mayor and 5 that's the problem. 6 And you got to ask yourself, where 7 is the State Senator and our State 8 Representative? Okay, just -- it's just 9 ridiculous what you're talking about here. Did 10 you ever think that one of you should pick up a 11 phone or an ink pen and write your State 12 Senator and write your State Representative? 13 I've written to every representative 14 in Washington over ECTV. And I'm getting ready 15 to do this -- Judge Kavanaugh on the Supreme 16 Court because I might have a little problem 17 with this Judge Bloom that's on this case. And 18 I've explained to him the case law that he's 19 trying to use says that he can't do it. 20 So we're going to have a little 21 disagreement. But in the end, I'm going to win 22 that one. Okay, I don't care if I'm a truck 23 driver or not; but somebody here has to start 24 thinking. 25 Okay, somebody has to say to  26 1 somebody instead of putting 10 million dollars 2 in a project and naming a pocket park after 3 Mayor Doherty who looted the city, maybe it's 4 time to put 10 million or 100 million dollars 5 or take a bond issue and build a hospital and 6 say to Regional, Moses Taylor or the CMC, this 7 is what we want and can you deliver? 8 You said -- you said here at the 9 meeting you have developers here. Well, use 10 one and build a hospital. Use eminent domain 11 and take the property you need, whether it's 12 Dunkin Donuts or whoever's property is across 13 from that bridge and start the project and move 14 a project forward in this city that meets the 15 needs of the community and the outlying 16 community. 17 CMC can't do that because they're 18 landlocked. They're antiquated. You know, a 19 modern hospital, people don't clean the 20 operating room, a robot does. In a modern 21 hospital, there's a nurses' station outside of 22 every so many rooms, not down the hallway. 23 It's totally different. You can't understand 24 that. Thank you. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Ryan  27 1 Barrett. 2 MR. BARRETT: Good evening, how do 3 you do? My name is Ryan Barrett. I'm a 4 resident of the city. I was raised here. But 5 I was out of the city for about 17 years. But 6 about 10 years ago I moved my wife and, you 7 know, family back here. 8 We're both professionals. My wife 9 isn't from here. And there's many times that I 10 truly regret that decision. And this hospital 11 issue is exactly one of those reasons. Again, 12 my father and mother are still on the 400 block 13 of Arthur Avenue. 14 And in my whole life I've never 15 understood why that hospital is shoehorned into 16 a residential neighborhood of high income 17 taxpayers with nice properties, stable 18 families. It makes no sense that that hospital 19 is in that neighborhood. 20 And then you're up against the park 21 which has its own restrictions, zoning 22 restrictions. There's events. There's car 23 shows and concerts and festivals. And they 24 want to put a NIC Unit there or they want -- it 25 doesn't make any sense.  28 1 And then logistically like the 2 gentleman just talked about, it's not 3 accessible. It's poorly located within the 4 city. It's not accessible to the interstate 5 system. So it doesn't make any sense for the 6 city. It doesn't make any sense for the 7 residents. 8 And most of all, it doesn't make any 9 sense for Geisinger. It's a bad, bad idea 10 especially when we have a downtown that's 11 starving for development that could support a 12 hospital with business, restaurants, hotels, 13 gas stations. 14 And then again, if you're downtown, 15 you have access to the interstate system. You 16 are more centrally located for the residents. 17 And then finally if you are downtown, you don't 18 have to deal with the residents -- or property 19 owners. It's not a residential neighborhood. 20 So this is a terrible, terrible idea 21 to put that hospital and to expand into a place 22 where you can't expand. And again, the 23 healthcare system is moving away from all of 24 this. 25 Geisinger is owned by Kaiser  29 1 Permanente who is based in Oakland, California. 2 I and my wife lived in San Francisco. I 3 received my law degree out there. My wife was 4 a teacher out in Oakland. Believe me when I 5 tell you, they do not know where Pennsylvania 6 is let alone this little berg called Scranton. 7 And if this project comes across 8 somebody's desk and they take a look at this, 9 they're going to say pull the plug on this. 10 What are we doing here? Do you want to know 11 who is going to be left holding the bag, 12 Scranton as always and the residents. 13 And you're going to sacrifice these 14 residents for a terrible idea. Go downtown. 15 If there is anybody from Geisinger, I think 16 they're all gone. Do yourselves a favor, don't 17 go through with this plan, please. Next 18 Tuesday vote against this. It's a terrible 19 idea. Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. That's all 21 for the sign-in sheet. Anybody else wish to 22 address Council? 23 MR. HAILSTONE: Good evening. I'm 24 Jamie Hailstone. I'm General Counsel of 25 Lackawanna College. I was asked to come  30 1 tonight and express the support on behalf of 2 Lackawanna College for the zoning change. 3 Lackawanna College has recognized 4 that this particular zoning change is about 5 progress. It's about changing the landscape of 6 medical care in our community. And we are 7 desperate for it and employers look for it. 8 People moving to the area look for these kind 9 of things. 10 The college supports it 100 percent 11 because the college believes that this is about 12 progress. This is about moving forward. I 13 appreciate your time. Thank you. 14 MS. KOLOSKI: Doris Koloski, 15 Scranton resident. All right. I agree mostly 16 what I was going to talk about was going to be 17 traffic, but Gene already covered that and the 18 other man that came after him covered it. I 19 wanted to talk a little about the inclusiveness 20 of the neighbors. 21 I heard tonight that this -- this 22 has been in discussion for, like, 18 months. 23 But the neighbors found out about that by 24 reading the newspaper just last month. If we 25 knew 18 months ago that this was -- this kind  31 1 of thing was going to come up, maybe we would 2 have a little bit more time to sit with the 3 hospital people and work out one of those good 4 neighbor agreements or come to a better 5 compromise. 6 But this has just been rushed and 7 push through and had no transparency and 8 nothing to do with the neighbors. Trust 9 issues, trust issues is the biggest thing 10 because we've been going through this round and 11 round. 12 First we had one CEO that said they 13 were going to put an office building over there 14 with underground parking. Then we heard, oh, 15 no, that guy is gone now. And we're going to 16 put two big parking garages 100 feet on the 200 17 block and the 400 block. Now they're gone and 18 this CEO says, well, now we're going to do it 19 this way. 20 Once you pass this bill for 100 21 feet -- and civic was just created this last 22 time when you did the SAPA. It was just 23 created. Before there was no civic. And then 24 you said now that you gave it to two other 25 hospitals.  32 1 So if that's the case, once you give 2 them 100 feet and if they can't go for a 3 variance, maybe they should create another 4 zoning that says you can't go more than 60 5 feet. We have no legs to stand on. We have no 6 recourse. 7 Once this 100 feet is granted, 8 anything they say, they could change their 9 mind. And it's not just the height. And it's 10 not just the traffic. It's the other things 11 that you could do within the civic zoning that 12 they may want to do. 13 They may decide, okay, we want to 14 put another heliport up. And it might land 15 right on top of that hospital that's going to 16 be right across the street from my house. They 17 don't even do a lot of the small things you ask 18 them to do. 19 They took away the ashtray that was 20 by the bus place where the people just stand 21 there and smoke while they're waiting for their 22 bus. The butts grow in our -- they blow in our 23 lawns when we have a big windy day. And we 24 have to go out there and pick up the butts. 25 I asked Nick at one of the meetings  33 1 about that ashtray, can't they put it back. He 2 said, okay, they will. That was, what, almost 3 a month ago. There is nothing there now. 4 I had asked the hospital when they 5 made the garbage dump across the street from my 6 house with all the big trailers that they would 7 come over from the hospital and they just throw 8 the stuff in and it would go bang, bang, bang. 9 And I'd say to them, can't you put 10 one of those noise screens there so we don't 11 have to listen to it? No, we can't. That was 12 it. So when they do put that part over there, 13 where are they going to put their garbage dump? 14 Are they going to put it behind my 15 house because they bought the house behind my 16 house. Am I going to have to hear it back 17 there? Am I going have to smell it back there? 18 This is -- these are the things we want to 19 know. 20 Maybe they're going to move them all 21 the garbage dump over to the 200 block and they 22 could deal with it over there. I don't know. 23 I have no clue what they're planning on doing. 24 But it's very upsetting that they say they want 25 to include us and they did speak to us  34 1 yesterday. 2 But there is time constraints and 3 nobody seems to care about that. You want to 4 vote on all of this on the ninth. So you are 5 not giving us enough time to discuss further 6 with the hospital and maybe come to something 7 more agreeable for both of us. Thank you for 8 your time. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris. 10 MR. HOPPEL: Good evening. My name 11 is Tom Hoppel. And I'm at the 200 block of 12 Arthur avenue, 215 Arthur Avenue. 13 MR. KING: Mr. Hoppel, can you move 14 the mic up a little? 15 MR. HOPPEL: Yes, absolutely. 16 MR. KING: Thank you. 17 MR. HOPPEL: Okay. And thank you 18 very much for your time and interest in this 19 project. I mean, everybody agrees on 20 healthcare in Scranton and advances and that. 21 What I'm concerned about is the size of the 22 project, the height of the project. 23 The way it seems to me and I'm a 24 layman, but so to turn the 200 block of Colfax 25 into civic and five years from now they decide  35 1 they want a project, they have 100 back there 2 to play with. So that is what you need zoning 3 for. 4 And, I mean, much smarter people 5 than me about this know that that, you know, 6 these people are brand new. I mean, they're -- 7 they haven't come to you guys before, have 8 they? So you guys change. But the neighbors 9 stay there. 10 You know we -- we're -- I could see 11 in five years, oh, we decide we want a parking 12 garage. We have 100 feet back there. And 13 that's right behind my house. And that would 14 really surround my house because on Linden 15 Street, I'm surrounded by a very big 16 unattractive building and sort of the back of 17 the hospital where all the trucks come in. 18 The heliport is right half a block 19 from my house. So I get a lot of beeping and 20 helicopters pretty frequently. I'm okay with 21 that. I mean, we're in a city. And I'm not 22 saying that, you know, we should, you know, not 23 be good neighbors too and be respectful of the 24 important role that the hospital does serve for 25 the community.  36 1 But to me, it seems like in five 2 years with no plan to use the 200 block, they 3 are saying, oh, let's just throw that in. I 4 think last night in the meeting with CPMC 5 officials, they said that that was sort of 6 afterthought that was actually a suggestion of 7 the Mayor to -- since we're doing this, to go 8 ahead and change that to civic with no plan, 9 absolutely no plan other than a vague maybe we 10 need it for parking in the future. 11 So, I mean, I've seen what they do 12 with these parking garages. There's one 13 between Linden Street and Mulberry. It's an 14 eyesore and not just during the day. At night 15 it's like the lights are blaring all night long 16 and it's eight stories. And that would be 17 dwarfed height what they could possibly put in 18 there. 19 So, you know, that's my -- my two 20 cents on this as a neighbor. There's a lot of 21 people here that have been struggling with this 22 and they are really frustrated. You know, CPMC 23 is a great institution. But also, you know, 24 there really is a vague plan here. 25 You know, there's not really, you  37 1 know, you're going to give them carte blanche 2 and I just don't understand that at all. I 3 don't think it's fair to the neighbors. You're 4 going to civic and saying, okay, 100 feet is 5 fine. 6 I mean, in five years, are they 7 going to say, oh, well, by the way, they agreed 8 to 75 feet or 65 feet or 60 feet. I think the 9 number that was tossed around by the neighbors 10 was 60 feet. And I thought that last night 11 CPMC was agreeable to that. 12 So anyway -- and they were also -- 13 it seemed like they were agreeable to 14 scratching any development or any change to 15 zoning on the 200 block. That wasn't asked for 16 by them. That was an idea that the Mayor came 17 up with just throw that in. 18 So, I mean, that really affects our 19 quality of life. It's already noisy there. To 20 put a parking garage with lights and all that 21 stuff back there would be a really tough thing. 22 Why can't that be 45 feet? Why? I mean, 23 that's something we could address at a 24 different time, right? 25 Shouldn't the 200 block be taken  38 1 out? That's what I'm requesting. Please take 2 the 200 block out of this proposal. Thank you 3 for your time. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 5 MS. O'MALLEY: Hello, Barb O'Malley, 6 Scranton resident. You know, I firmly believe 7 that engaged and informed citizens are the 8 bedrock of a democracy. Unfortunately, I think 9 we're all aware that our local newspaper is 10 greatly diminished. 11 So in terms of getting information 12 out in this compact timeframe and getting our 13 positions out, there's not even time to write a 14 letter to the editor. And you don't even know 15 if it's going to be published. 16 I mean, let's be honest, there's 17 letters from all over the place. You know, I 18 used to -- that was one way that I would 19 express my ideas, my concerns was through a 20 letter to the editor. It's not possible 21 anymore to get that information out. 22 We don't have coverage of the 23 meetings like we did in the past which benefits 24 all of us, no matter what your position, you 25 get your ideas out. It must be demoralizing  39 1 for our local journalist to have to watch ECTV 2 and write a report about a meeting on it if 3 they're assigned to it. 4 So with that background, I'm just 5 here to refer folks who might be watching and 6 want more information about the neighbors and 7 the process and what we're concerned about to 8 social media. And we have created a Facebook 9 page called Nay Aug Park Area Residents that 10 explains and goes into a little bit more detail 11 who we are, what our concerns are. 12 Unfortunately, we had to create our 13 own website because we couldn't associate with 14 the Hill Neighborhood Association anymore. So 15 please don't look for information for us on 16 that. The current President of the Hill 17 Neighborhood Association in his comments on our 18 social media page referred to us as a bunch of 19 morons and other things. That's the nice 20 thing. 21 So I'm telling people to look -- we 22 are the Nay Aug Park Area Residents. Another 23 thing that I think needs to be clarified, I 24 don't know how many times we could say it, but 25 we are not against healthcare and expanding. I  40 1 know we've said this over and over but that 2 apparently is a narrative, not the people 3 from -- from Geisinger, the professionals that 4 were here but the employees. 5 We've -- we've been told, you know, 6 I've been told by friends of mine who work at 7 the hospital, that's the narrative that -- from 8 ER doctors on up that we, you know, there's a 9 problem in the ER, blame it on the neighbors. 10 We're only asking as my neighbors have for 11 fair treatment to, you know, a residential 12 area. 13 And whoever said shoehorned, that's 14 true. And adding more services and adding more 15 people I think Mr. King was following that 16 train of thought in terms of where that garage 17 is going to end up. I mean, that's all we're 18 asking. 19 I know last night Dave used a 20 visual. He said this is what it's going to 21 look like from my -- he has a beautiful home on 22 Arthur. This is what it's going to look like 23 when he was trying to look out, okay. 75 feet 24 is, you know, up to about here. 25 So we're only asking for fairness.  41 1 We aren't trying to impede the healthcare in 2 this neighborhood in this city at all. But we 3 are not -- we are not a bunch of morons. And 4 we are not crybabies. And we're not all of 5 those other names that we've been referred to. 6 So once again, Nay Aug Park Area 7 Residents, if you want to hear a little bit 8 more about us if you want to expand your 9 knowledge, so thank you. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 11 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. One 12 of the things that was interesting me is today 13 trying to get here. The roads in my area were 14 pretty much unplowed. It got skimmed over 15 once. We have no salt on our roadway. My 16 tires in front of my house were slipping. 17 Sidewalks are not cleared. 18 There is slush outside of City Hall. 19 There was a fire truck blocking off the block 20 coming here as well. Why was there an urgency 21 to have citizens come in here and risk a fall, 22 a slip or an accident? Why is public safety of 23 going -- we just got hit with a bunch of 24 snowstorm -- snowstorm. 25 It's going to ice tonight and maybe  42 1 we shouldn't have this meeting because we are 2 bringing people out to talk in a hazardous 3 situation. We know why that is. We have a 4 limited time to pass it. 5 And those few days preclude shutting 6 down City Hall, risking City Hall workers who 7 work here and keeping it open so this could go 8 on so because this is what the Mayor wanted. 9 You're willing to risk the people 10 who come to the meeting and city employees for 11 an agenda for the Mayor. That's a serious 12 problem. How's code blue going considering 13 there's snow on the ground and we're freezing 14 out there? 15 All the shelters are open including 16 Weston Field, right? Now, I guess five months 17 wasn't long enough. And we'll still wait until 18 after that. And if they freeze to death, we'll 19 go, we're sorry. You had a few beds. I 20 brought peanut butter tonight to donate because 21 tonight is a sticky situation. 22 We looked at the pictures, the 23 plans. They said they're fictional. They're 24 an idea of what we might want there. They're 25 not actual plans.  43 1 It's a beautiful picture that was 2 drawn up to show something for a plan and a 3 concept that they don't have. They want a plan 4 here, let's show them something. They agreed 5 that it was fictional and it was not the actual 6 footprint and the plans. 7 So I'm not sure how we can base 8 anything on fictional nonexistent plans. 9 Zoning variances go along with the property. 10 And when they are transferred, zoning variances 11 die. Unlike this, it doesn't end with the 12 property. If the property ever gets exchanged, 13 it's still civic zone and it still goes on no 14 matter who owns it. 15 Their word here is useless. They 16 have it on the record, but it's not legal and 17 binding. The only legal and binding way is 18 when they go through zoning, get the variance; 19 and the variance limits them to a specific 20 height. Other than that, it has no value. 21 Now, A-3 lists a 4-1 vote. The 22 board itself is a five member board. Two out 23 of those board members aren't eligible to 24 participate because they haven't put in their 25 financial documents.  44 1 So two out of the five people are 2 not allowed to participate in the board. Hear, 3 judge, talk about; but they were still here for 4 this whole thing for the Planning Commission 5 and they voted on it. And the last time we 6 were there for the same exact thing, at the 7 very last meeting I called out Hinton because 8 he had a conflict of interest -- a direct 9 conflict and he stepped out. 10 But this time we have two board 11 members who have direct conflict of interest 12 who recused themselves last time who voted on 13 this to come forward. I think that's a serious 14 problem in the whole process of getting it here 15 when there is violations. 16 And the building next door, it's 17 been struck down multiple times, the financing 18 for it. We're buying a property that two or 19 three times has come before it including in 20 budgets where we've said we don't want it. Yet 21 somehow no is not no with this city. 22 Somehow no is not no when the Mayor 23 wants something done and the decision of this 24 board isn't final because every time that the 25 Mayor wants something, she gets it. And here's  45 1 your donations. 2 MR. SMURL: I believe that's it, Mr. 3 Voldenberg -- oh, no. 4 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, I'm 5 Rik Little. My mother would have been a 103 6 today. She died of cancer. I knew about it 7 seven years before. And she died when I was in 8 my first semester at college. 9 But since then I found out she 10 really died of chemo. And I'll tell you, I 11 broke my leg in 2017. That's when I started 12 growing my beard. I lived in Scranton public 13 housing on Adams Avenue. There was an army of 14 social workers who were just trying to get me 15 out of there. 16 I'm at Abington Manor. I'm riding 17 around in a wheelchair trying to fight these 18 people, couldn't get into City Hall. You know, 19 so that makes it, you know, that's a good 20 argument that the new -- the old Fidelity bank, 21 the old times -- the old -- what is it, 22 Scranton Tribune building next door is coming 23 up to expand on this. 24 But it doesn't make sense to me. I 25 think back to my talks with Tommy Culkin when  46 1 the whole government was run out of this 2 building and the fire department and the police 3 department and then the Civil War Museum. 4 And that's when the population is 5 much more than it is now. But I've always been 6 a constitutionalist in my upbringing. And I 7 remember, you know, in the big part of the 8 government and I'm talking about the deep 9 state. I'm talking about the old Department of 10 Defense, you know, where they -- the Pentagon 11 where they shot a missile into the exact place 12 where all the records were, financial records 13 and double insurance claims on everything. 14 But it just makes sense to me that, 15 you know, as it is above coming down. But when 16 you get to the county and city level, the whole 17 idea of the, you know, the charter is to make 18 things more convenient and easier for things. 19 And that's where things really get messed up, 20 especially the judiciary. And they do all 21 their tricks right before Thanksgiving and 22 Christmas and everything. 23 Everything is pushed in. And I see 24 that happening here pushing through stuff. And 25 it's just no one knows anything that's going  47 1 on. Everything in the paper -- most, you know, 2 I'd say 96 percent of it is outside globalist 3 forces, Associated Press, you know, all of 4 these other newspapers. 5 And I agree with the women who said, 6 you know, you can't get a letter to the paper. 7 And then there's the television. There has to 8 be discussion with people to have a democracy. 9 And it's just announced that this building the 10 Mayor wants to buy before she goes onto 11 Congress is 185 million dollars. 12 And I'm just wondering who 13 negotiated that price to buy that? That's just 14 it. It's 185 million dollars. And I don't 15 think -- I think 185 million dollars could be 16 used for a lot of things around Scranton 17 besides that. 18 MR. MCANDREW: It's 1.85. 19 MR. LITTLE: Well, I didn't hear 20 what you said. But I think, you know, since we 21 have this Lackawanna County assessment where 22 they tell you how much the building is worth, 23 maybe we should look at it because I've heard 24 rumors that, you know, the price of that 25 Fidelity Bank at 338 North Washington is about  48 1 half of that. 2 Maybe I'm wrong; but, you know, it's 3 just all coming in so fast at the holidays and 4 that's what the judiciary does and, you know. 5 And that's what the media does before any 6 election. And we got to slow down because this 7 is our city. 8 And when I say our, I mean all the 9 people. They should know what's going on. 10 Thanks. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 13 MOTIONS. 14 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 15 any motions or comments? 16 MR. KING: Nothing at this time. 17 MR. SMURL: Mr. Schuster, do you 18 have any motions or comments? 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, just two. I 20 just want to remind the public that next week 21 on the 9th is going to be the public hearing 22 for Geisinger. We've had a lot of people come 23 in and speak their mind on it over the last two 24 to three weeks. And just remember that next 25 Tuesday is that public hearing and make sure to  49 1 come out on that day as well. 2 I had asked about an update with 3 Jackson Street. Did we get any kind of update 4 on Jackson? I didn't see any e-mails or 5 anything that came out about paving. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was not on the 7 2025 paving list. But we're placing it on the 8 2026. They asked if we could have the specific 9 blocks that need repair and they'll -- 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Well, this is with 11 the project that's being done there right now. 12 So I know there's mill -- it was scheduled to 13 be milled I think today was the date for Sumner 14 and Jackson. But we're cutting it close here 15 with the asphalt plants closing. I didn't know 16 if they were going to keep it like that through 17 the winter. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask about that 19 intersection. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 21 you. Can we also send some correspondence to 22 the county to see what the Fidelity building 23 was assessed at? 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank  50 1 you. That's it. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 3 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 4 comments? 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, first, I wanted 6 to answer the questions about the unsheltered 7 task force meeting that Mr. Mancini has been 8 asking about. The last meeting we had was 9 October 15th. The Mayor calls those meetings 10 to order. And I've not received invitation or 11 notification of another upcoming meeting. 12 I will inquire if there has been one 13 set yet. But I do receive those invitations. 14 So there's not been another one that I'm aware 15 of. However, I know there were working on 16 figuring out the Code Blue Shelter and getting 17 someone to be able to take over that with staff 18 which Catholic Social Services was able to do. 19 And I received notification that a 20 position is opened on the Catholic Social 21 Services website as of November 5th. And I 22 have been told that someone was hired and 23 trained. And obviously that could take time 24 because we need to allow time for interviews 25 for the hiring process, for background checks,  51 1 all of those things that go into employment and 2 then the training too. So I understand why it 3 wasn't opened November 6th. 4 But I received word that it should 5 be -- let's see -- that they should be ready on 6 Thursday. So if there is overflow from St. 7 Anthony's which has not yet been at capacity, 8 then -- as of Thursday we should be able to 9 staff the Code Blue Shelter at Weston Field. 10 So that is the update there. 11 I also just want to point out too I 12 know in the past it was asked about those 13 unsheltered task force meetings if they were 14 open to the public. And I had inquired about 15 that. And we were told that that they were 16 not. And that was also at the Mayor's 17 discretion. 18 So to my knowledge, they are still 19 not being made public. But I could certainly 20 check again if that's an interest of the 21 Mayor's. But it hasn't seemed to be the case. 22 So I'm not sure if the questions about it were 23 so that the public could attend. So I just 24 wanted to point that out. 25 And I still have a lot of thoughts  52 1 regarding the caucus that we had tonight with 2 Geisinger and then the continued feedback that 3 we've been getting from neighbors and people 4 within the community. I will say that I -- I 5 understand -- I understand that there's a bit 6 more of an urgency because of what's going on 7 with Commonwealth and that makes me very 8 nervous as well. 9 I can't speak to as to why it didn't 10 come to us sooner. But I believe that's the 11 case for it being something that urgently needs 12 to be addressed now. But I do know there needs 13 to be a lot considered in the planning process 14 when it comes to some of the issues that were 15 brought tonight like traffic and lighting. 16 And there was comment tonight that 17 none of us up here have any clue or 18 understanding about quality healthcare. I'm a 19 healthcare provider. I provide healthcare on a 20 daily basis, sometimes six days a week. And I 21 believe that I give good quality healthcare to 22 my patients. That's what I strive for every 23 day -- actually not even good, but excellent 24 quality healthcare. 25 And, I mean, that's what I want for  53 1 myself and my family members as well. So I'm 2 not sure why that speaker was assuming that. 3 And I think that Geisinger does give good 4 quality healthcare in a lot of ways. But I 5 think they are also constrained. And from what 6 they've explained tonight that they're maxed 7 out in terms of their space. 8 And there's a lot of uncertainty 9 ahead. And we want to -- all of us have said 10 that we're coming from a place where we want 11 there to be that access to healthcare within 12 the City of Scranton. So I'm glad we're all on 13 the same page about that. That's all that I 14 have. Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 16 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 17 motions or comments? 18 MR. MCANDREW: All I have right now 19 is 409 Lackawanna Avenue would like to have a 20 15 minute loading zoning -- loading zone sign 21 in front of their -- I'm sorry, a 15 minute 22 loading zone in front for delivery just like 23 the 200 Adams Avenue has on their front. If I 24 could say that again. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll submit it,  54 1 sir. 2 MR. MCANDREW: You know, where I'm 3 coming from, all right? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, I have the 5 number. 6 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank 7 you. That's all I have of. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Last week we 9 had a concern about unsheltered members of the 10 community and what the city policy is on the 11 encampments in the area and the police 12 department and DPW taking down the camps. 13 The response we received was 14 Scranton Police Department routinely 15 investigates the crime trespass involving 16 unauthorized individuals with tents on property 17 of another. 18 When such a site is identified, 19 officers provide notice of the violation in the 20 following ways: 21 Verbal notification to the occupants 22 if present and placement of a special purpose 23 Scranton Police Department sign that says no 24 trespassing. It's a yard sign that we've used 25 in the past. Both methods are served as formal  55 1 48 hours notice to vacate the premises. 2 The police make every effort to 3 educate everyone and refer individuals to 4 appropriate community based services and 5 support resources. After the 48 hour notice 6 period has elapsed, Scranton Police Department 7 returns to the location to ensure compliance 8 with the lawful order. 9 In most cases, the site is vacated 10 prior to the police department's return. 11 However, it is not uncommon for officers to 12 find abandoned personal belongings, trash and 13 biohazardous material left behind. 14 Once the police department confirms 15 no items of value are personally identifiable 16 or value property remain, the department may 17 request assistance on proper equipment from 18 Department of Public Works and safely tear the 19 site down in the interest of public health and 20 safety. And that's the administration's 21 response for the encampments. Frank. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Sorry, can I say one 24 more thing? And this may also be for 25 Mr. Gilbride as well. Can we reach out to the  56 1 Law Department whether it be Andrew Cutillo or 2 Jessica Eskra, I know Mr. Cutillo's been 3 working on this. See if there's any appetite 4 there for a community benefits agreement with 5 the hospital and with the neighbors. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: We will. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.

SMURL: At this time I'll 6 entertain a motion that Item 5-E be introduced 7 into its proper committee. 8 MR. KING: So moved. 9 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 10 MR. SMURL: On the question? 11 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, 12 there's a couple things I'm going to say about 13 two of the items on the agenda tonight. And 14 I'll save -- I'll save it for the next item 15 that's coming up. 16 MR. MCANDREW: On the question, on 17 the question, so we've been talking about 18 Geisinger -- not Geisinger -- listen to me -- 19 Fidelity has been pushed towards us, the 20 purchase of it for, I don't know, three, four 21 years. 22 None of us had an appetite for it. 23 And then it appears itself in an amendment to 24 the capital budget of 2025. 2025 is over, 25 like, in a couple weeks. So out of nowhere,  60 1 this legislation comes. I could remember when 2 I was running for Council, I wasn't quite here 3 yet that there was great debate that they 4 should sell this building. 5 We got to sell City Hall, can't 6 afford to fix it. And you know what, it's too 7 big for us anymore. I remember that. And I'm 8 so glad that they -- you know, of course, they 9 didn't sell it and brought it to the beauty 10 that it is today. 11 And that took 4 million dollars 12 recently. All right. And this building -- so 13 then next door, they're looking at 1.85. To 14 me, that's 2 million dollars. You know, call 15 it whatever you want. 16 Of course I've always support public 17 safety in all of their initiatives. They have 18 a beautiful command center in their newer 19 building. They were here first. They're here 20 20 years. 21 And you know every mention the past 22 couple years buying the building next door 23 wasn't regarding public safety or putting a new 24 command center there because you have a fairly 25 new one down the street.  61 1 I've always been a guy there's need 2 to have, nice to have especially when I'm 3 spending taxpayers' money, especially. So do 4 we need to have that building next door? No. 5 Would it be nice to have for the Chief, sure. 6 But they'll still do a fantastic job with the 7 building they have and fighting crime. 8 And because the only other office 9 was going to be in there was code enforcement, 10 which -- so it's a three-story building. So 11 was there an appraisal? I don't know. There 12 was no conversation with regards to the 13 building next door with any of us. 14 I don't know about you guys if you 15 had any conversation with the Mayor. Was there 16 an appraisal? I don't know, you know? So 17 guess what, we're still recently out of Act 47. 18 The ARPA checkbook, all the checks have been 19 written, 68 million dollars gone. 20 But that 68 million dollars was 21 deposited next door. So they get -- when 22 Fidelity -- well, they're still there. That 23 was for them. So what are the remodeling costs 24 not mentioned in the article the other day? 25 What are the fixed and variable  62 1 expenses going to be, including heat, water, 2 electricity, security, technology, insurance? 3 No mention of that to us in the paper. The 4 residents would be paying for that obviously. 5 And like I said, three floors with 6 only two entities earmarked to use it. That's 7 a waste. There's also mention of a bridge 8 from here to city -- from City Hall to next 9 door. What's that going to cost because the 10 paper states that it's turnkey. I'm not buying 11 that one. 12 I want to know who made the offer? 13 Simple question. That wasn't brought to our 14 attention. Is it worth 1 point -- 2 million. 15 I'm rounding it up to 2 million. I don't think 16 so. There is no comprehension plan. We're 17 going to spend 2 million dollars for no 18 comprehensive plan presented to us. 19 Because, you know what, the Mayor 20 might not be here. She's planning on leaving, 21 so we're going to be left holding the bag. Us 22 and the taxpayers are going to have to pay for 23 this. So, you know, I'm not happy with this. 24 It's just another rush job in the 25 final weeks of December amending the 2025  63 1 capital budget. This isn't next year's budget. 2 All right. This money could be better spent on 3 the homeless we keep talking about and the 4 issue of code blue and nowhere to house them 5 anymore. 6 I mean, that would be a great place 7 to spend some of this money, right? Paving 8 roads that haven't made the list this year or 9 have never made the list we hear about all the 10 time. How about selling contracts? I mean, 11 there's a multitude of issues that present 12 themselves to us constantly here in chambers 13 where that money could be well spent. 14 We were not told how -- some of it's 15 going to be paid for grants next door and some 16 other funding sources. We're not told what 17 that is. Like I said earlier, 4 million was 18 used for City Hall renovations which was needed 19 and I supported like I said. 20 But nothing was done to make City 21 Hall more handicap accessible. I'm not an 22 architect, but in this day and age I'm sure 23 this could have been rectified but now claiming 24 the Fidelity building will be the answer to 25 handicap accessibility. It's going to be  64 1 easier for the handicapped. 2 Every resident should have the 3 access to City Hall, meaning, entering the 4 front and not having to utilize the one parking 5 spot in the alley with a ramp with no real 6 access to the building without a fob. 7 And also, City Hall historically was 8 able to conduct city business when the city's 9 population was close to double in size and did 10 not have the luxury of the technology we have 11 today. 12 So I still -- like I said, need to 13 have, nice to have. We don't need it. We 14 can't afford it. And also, the craziest part 15 of all of this was bought to my attention 16 today. Now it's been brought to my attention 17 that thousands of dollars in campaign donations 18 for multiple years have come from the Fidelity 19 board members to the Mayor and one of them 20 sharing her last name. 21 It's alarming, guys. And now the 22 Mayor wants to buy the building? Hey, anybody 23 can donate to any campaign. I have no problem 24 with that. But when you knowingly accept 25 campaign donations with the idea of purchasing  65 1 a building from donors who have direct ties to 2 the building is the problem I have with 3 taxpayer money. 4 If I was to vote yes, then I'm 5 voting yes and supporting a conflict and a 6 behavior that I'm uncomfortable with. And I 7 can't do this in good conscience for this 8 reason mainly and all the others I presented 9 before. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else 11 on the question? All those in favor of 12 introduction signify by saying aye. 13 MR. KING: Aye. 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 15 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? 16 MR. SCHUSTER: No. 17 MR. MCANDREW: No. 18 MR.

SMURL: At this time I'll 21 entertain a motion that Item 5-I be introduced 22 into its proper committee. 23 MR. KING: So moved. 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 25 MR. SMURL: On the question?  68 1 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, so 2 I'm going to probably mirror some of the 3 comments from Mr. McAndrew. So some of the 4 information that I would love to see is has 5 there been an appraisal on this building. And 6 the one that I already asked previously was, 7 what's the recent county assessment for the 8 property. 9 I know it sold in 1998 for 720,000. 10 Is there a plan for parking for the public? 11 And last week we had a piece of legislation 12 that was asking to borrow up to 3 million 13 dollars for renovation. What are their 14 renovation projects that they have for that 15 building if they were to buy it? 16 We didn't get any kind of utilities 17 or operating costs. So does the administration 18 have an estimate on utilities and operating 19 costs? With those operating costs and the new 20 employees that we're going to add in this 21 year's budget, the expenditures are probably 22 about million dollars. 23 So this property will now come off 24 the tax rolls. Does the city know how much 25 taxes they are going to lose from this  69 1 building? So that's the question I have, Mr. 2 Voldenberg. So what does the city stand to 3 lose when it comes to taxes brought in from the 4 building as well as the county and the school 5 district? 6 So at this point in time we're going 7 to lose tax revenue. And we're going to add 8 expenditures. My fear here is that we enter 9 into something the like the county entered into 10 when they bought the Globe Store. We're 11 talking 1.8 or we can round it up to 2 million, 12 whatever you would like. 13 So 1.8 million plus a possible 3 14 million in renovations, plus questionable 15 operating costs, I fear going into next year 16 and the following year we're going to enter a 17 situation, like I said, as the county entered 18 into where the city is in debt, I don't know, 2 19 to 6 million dollars. 20 And as was said before, we have a 21 Mayor that may be leaving at that point in 22 time. Our ARPA money is gone. That's running 23 out. And recently we've had a lot of good -- 24 we've had positive financial gains. The city 25 is operating within its footprint.  70 1 And I'm happy with the footprint 2 that we're operating into. But I don't think 3 it's time to expand out. I don't want it to 4 have a snowball affect on our budget. And I 5 don't want to see us in debt moving forward 6 into the future. 7 And that's why I'm going to be 8 voting against this. I've also expressed this 9 when it's popped in other capital budgets in 10 years past that I wasn't in favor of this when 11 it was -- when it was in those budgets -- in 12 those capital expenditure projects at the time. 13 I'll be voting against Item 5-I. 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I 15 feel that there's been fair questions that have 16 been asked. And I would also like to see those 17 answers. I'll be voting to introduce this so 18 that we do allow for time to receive those 19 answers and for us to deliberate more on this 20 decision. 21 I know I had said a couple years ago 22 as well as several of my colleagues when it 23 came to this decision previously. We said, 24 well, let's take care of the house that we have 25 first. Let's renovate this building, which is  71 1 what we did. And I'm very happy with that 2 decision. 3 And now for this decision, I feel 4 like we do need more information. And I don't 5 believe I have any questions to add to what's 6 already been asked. But I would like to see 7 what -- some of that information that we 8 receive. 9 I am happy about the potential for 10 improved accessibility, handicapped 11 accessibility. I know that wasn't something 12 included in the renovations for this building. 13 I don't know how doable that would have been or 14 practical for this building, what the cost 15 would have entailed. 16 Or if this building is really set up 17 for that and for what's required today for ADA 18 accessibility. But I do know that that is 19 important for us to have for people to be able 20 to enter our buildings and use the buildings 21 and have the access with greater ease. 22 We have complaints about that in the 23 past. And I do take them seriously. And I 24 could see that being an advantage for this 25 space from what they've been told -- or what  72 1 we've been told. And I know that that during 2 one of the caucuses, it was explained to us a 3 bit about the crime center and the first floor 4 and what those would include. 5 I would also like to ask what the 6 plans are for the third floor and then for the 7 appraisal information too. That's all that I 8 have. 9 MR. KING: On the question, I would 10 be interested in hearing the answers to 11 Mr. Schuster's questions as well. That's all. 12 MR. MCANDREW: On the question, I 13 mean, need to have, nice to have. And now 14 after hearing all of the other stuff that very 15 concerns me the most, we deposited the ARPA 16 money next door. 17 They got a five million grant from 18 us. And now they're going to get almost 2 19 million dollars from us. I know they had 20 trouble securing finance buying the beautiful 21 Electric City Building. But how much is enough 22 from us or the taxpayers, especially with the 23 money going back and forth. 24 That's -- that's enough for me in 25 good conscience, I can't. That's -- that's not  73 1 how it works, guys. That's not how it's 2 supposed to happen. Campaign contributions and 3 favors that are returned is not what we do 4 here. I won't be part of that. I won't -- 5 there's no yes for that for me. I vote yes, 6 then I agree with it. I don't. 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: I don't -- I don't 8 see why they would need for us to be the ones 9 to be the buyers. Like, I think we have more 10 advantage on that than they do. Like, they 11 could find other buyers for the property, 12 especially if it is turnkey and in good 13 condition. 14 So I'm not totally seeing where the 15 conflict is. I also am happy to see someone in 16 the Electric Life Building and to have the 17 presence there and for Fidelity to be bringing 18 in all of their employees to the city, and I 19 don't have any donations from them. So 20 that's what -- 21 MR. MCANDREW: The conflict lies 22 that she is making the proposal. It's her idea 23 to sell it, not ours. That's the conflict 24 after receiving campaign -- I'm sorry, it 25 doesn't sound -- I have a bad appetite for  74 1 that. It doesn't sit well with me. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. All those in 3 favor of introduction signify by saying aye. 4 MR. KING: Aye. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 6 MR. MCANDREW: Aye. 7 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? 8 MR. SCHUSTER: No. 9 MR.
