CONTROLLER'S REPORT FOR THE 25 MONTH ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2026 RECEIVED MARCH  4 1 16, 2026. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Are there any 3 comments on any of the Third Order items? If 4 not, received and filed. Do any Council 5 members have any announcements at this time? 6 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, I have a few. 7 Just first, I want to wish everyone a happy St. 8 Patrick's day. I hope you had a great weekend 9 with all the celebrations going on. I hope you 10 celebrated safely. I hope you continue to 11 celebrate safely tonight, but happy St. 12 Patrick's Day to everyone. 13 And just one announcement, the Green 14 Ridge Neighborhood Association will be hosting 15 their annual Easter egg hunt, Sunday, March 16 29th at Pretzel Park on the corner of North 17 Washington and Electric Street. It starts at 1 18 p.m. It's free entry. And to RSVP for the 19 hunt to Green Ridge Neighborhood Association at 20 gmail dot com. And the potential rain date 21 will be April 4th. I hope to see everyone 22 there. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Do any 24 other Council members have any announcements at 25 this time?  5 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: I also wanted to 2 wish everyone a St. Patty's Day. I think we 3 had another successful parade day on Saturday 4 this year. And I just wanted to thank our city 5 departments, the Scranton Police, Scranton 6 Fire, DPW, all of our departments that, you 7 know, work together that day to make sure that 8 everyone was safe and able to enjoy the day and 9 the parade and celebrations -- I do find myself 10 each year being a bit disappointed by the 11 amount of calls, especially in the Hill Section 12 where a lot of university students are 13 involved. 14 And I know that our police 15 department worked very hard that day to 16 maintain order. So I do appreciate that. I 17 just wanted to say that. Thank you. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 19 I'd also like to wish everyone a happy St. 20 Patrick's Day. Also to echo Dr. Rothchild's 21 comments, thank you to DPW, SPD, SFD and other 22 city departments that, you know, help with 23 traffic control that day, Road Scholar for 24 their help as well to keep traffic off the 25 parade routes and the race routes. So thank  6 1 you for what you do. 2 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Okay. So I'd 3 also like to wish everybody a very happy St. 4 Patrick's Day today and I'd also like to thank 5 the public safety departments, the police, 6 firefighters, DPW, everyone else that was 7 involved in keeping it a safe and enjoyable 8 parade. 9 They do a great job every year. 10 It's a heavy lift. But it's almost seamless 11 and I want to applaud them for their efforts. 12 Thank you. 13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I'd like 14 to agree with all of my colleagues, first of 15 all, wish everybody a happy St. Patrick's Day. 16 It was great. I hope everybody enjoyed it with 17 their family. Thank you again to our police to 18 make sure everybody is safe and to our DPW for 19 the cleanup. I drove downtown the day after 20 and it looked great. So thank you to everybody 21 and enjoy St. Patrick's Day. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Yeah, the 23 cleanup was pretty fast and they had the street 24 sweepers out within I'd say a half hour of the 25 end of the parade.  7 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 2 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. The first 4 speaker is Joan Hodowanitz. 5 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 6 Scranton, excuse me. With regard to the St. 7 Patrick's Day Parade, it is certainly a 8 different parade than it was 20 or 25 years ago 9 when you could buy 17 cents beer at 7:00 in the 10 morning and there were fist fights and public 11 urination and all kinds of rowdiness. 12 And you didn't see any of that in 13 the last several years. So I'm very happy, not 14 only with the way our public safety departments 15 keep us safe and DPW does the cleanup and a lot 16 of other tasks; but it is a much more family 17 oriented and safe environment. 18 And those who want to celebrate in 19 the bars, they do so. But the rowdiness and 20 the uncleanliness is all gone. So that's a 21 great improvement. Now, if you could just do 22 something about the damn weather, you know, it 23 would have been perfect. 24 You know, the Scranton Public 25 Library is always trying to find out why people  8 1 patronize the library and why others don't. 2 And one of the obvious impediments to going to 3 the library downtown is parking. And a lot of 4 people don't realize that the library has gone 5 to great efforts to assist in that dilemma. 6 They have an agreement with the 7 Adams garage, right, I guess it's right over 8 there. You can get a two-hour parking discount 9 Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. 10 and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 11 The library will discount up to two 12 hours of parking at the garage. If you go 13 three hours, you only get charged for one hour. 14 Now, before you all say, oh, I'll park at the 15 Adams garage and I won't go to the library, but 16 I'll get two free hours of parking, it doesn't 17 work that way. 18 You know, we may be nice, but we're 19 not stupid. So you have to actually go to the 20 library so that you can get the credit for the 21 two hours of parking at the garage. But, you 22 know, why should somebody not be able to enjoy 23 the services of the Scranton Public Library or 24 the Children's Library during the week just 25 because they can't find reasonable parking?  9 1 So this is an opportunity for those 2 who want to patronize the library to do so to 3 get two free hours of parking at the Adams 4 garage. So I just want to make sure that that 5 got put out. I don't know of any other 6 nonprofit organization in the downtown area 7 that has an agreement like that. I wish more 8 people did. 9 Next, 441 days since the DPW 10 contract expired. So is there any hope on the 11 horizon? 12 MR. SCHUSTER: I've only heard that 13 there were some meetings. But, Mr. Voldenberg, 14 can we officially ask if there had been any 15 meetings and what the dates of those meetings 16 are and if there is any movement on the DPW 17 CBA? 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that 19 information. 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: I believe they 21 might even have one tomorrow from what I heard. 22 MS. HODOWANITZ: As I recall, we're 23 still scheduled for a caucus on April 7th with 24 DPW to discuss the storm -- the cleanup after 25 the winter storm, correct?  10 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 2 MS. HODOWANITZ: I would hope that 3 as many DPW workers as possible come to 4 personally listen to that presentation, that 5 caucus and that they stay for the following 6 meeting so that if there are any comments they 7 would like to make on what was presented, they 8 do so. 9 Because there are always two sides 10 to every story. And I don't want just to hear 11 one side. I want to hear both sides of the 12 story. And again, I want to remind everybody 13 that the Friends of the Scranton Public Library 14 is sponsoring a trip to the Bronx Zoo on 15 Saturday, May 2nd. 16 If you're a member of the Friends, 17 the cost is $85. If you're not, it's 90. 18 Children are $80. But get out of town, you 19 know, see something wonderful. And if you're 20 at least 50 years old, you could become a 21 member, excuse me, of the Friends for only $5 22 and the discount pays for your membership. 23 So think about it. The bus is going 24 to fill up awfully fast. So do not wait. 25 Thank you.  11 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 2 speaker is Mike Mancini. 3 MR. MANCINI: Council President 4 Schuster, good evening, Council and residents 5 of Scranton. Tonight part two, my version of 6 the state of Scranton. The topic, HUP testing 7 and property assessment. 8 Council and residents, allow me to 9 draw your attention to two important issues 10 that need more than just talking points. The 11 HUP test has been in limbo for years. To those 12 who do not know what a HUP test is, it 13 determines the ability of a nonprofit to pay 14 property taxes to be considered a purely public 15 charity nonprofits must. 16 One, advance a charitable purpose; 17 two, donate or render a substantial portion of 18 its services; three, benefit a substantial and 19 indefinite class of persons who -- 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Mr. Mancini, can 21 you turn it up? I'm having trouble hearing. 22 MR. MANCINI: Four, relieve the 23 city, county, and school district with the 24 burden; and five, operate entirely free from 25 private profit motive. I could understand  12 1 Council member Mark McAndrew's frustration 2 asking repeatedly for information. He gets it 3 too. 4 Honest taxpayers carry the burden 5 of inflated taxes while others do not pay their 6 fair share. We need answers to these 7 questions. Has the University of Scranton 8 replied to the request for information? 9 Were all their properties assessed? 10 Could a time limit for a reply be established? 11 What happens if an entity like the University 12 of Scranton does not reply? These are 13 questions that deserve answers. 124k per year 14 from the U does not sit well with me. 15 Utilize Attorney Gilbride's skill 16 set and guidance to bring this very important 17 talking point to a resolution. Honest 18 taxpayers deserve it. Help prevent tax 19 increases. The city, school district and 20 county needed that income yesterday. 21 Bring all parties to caucus ASAP. 22 To the University of Scranton, allow me to be 23 the first to say, this is an attempt to collect 24 the debt rightfully owed to honest taxpayers. 25 Any information will be used solely for that  13 1 purpose. 2 Regarding the recent assessment, the 3 first since 1968, has many property owners 4 addressing proper values. Appraisers are 5 booked over a month out because of appeals. 6 While many pay property taxes on time, others 7 have had substantial rehabilitation to their 8 properties to include garages, expanding square 9 footage, and even just for land while a home 10 sits while without paying their fair share. 11 Mr. Gilbride mentioned over a year 12 ago that there are thousands just like I 13 described. Permits need to be pulled. Figure 14 out who threw the middle finger at the system 15 and honest property owners who struggle with 16 their bills. There are no statute of 17 limitations to collect. This time to the 18 cheaters, this is an attempt to collect the 19 debt. 20 Any information will be used for 21 that purpose. Here are six recommendations to 22 help the future stability of Scranton and 23 relieve some of the burden on honest taxpayers. 24 Finalize the results of the HUP testing, 25 retroactively collect taxes from those who  14 1 deceive Commonwealth property tax laws, make 2 the cheaters pay up, look into the delinquent 3 property taxes, trash fees, and any other 4 monies owed to the city and determine that we 5 have the best options in place to recover what 6 is owed, enact ordinances and fines regarding 7 blocked or defective storm drains, enact 8 ordinances and fines regarding defective power 9 poles and arching wires, enact an ordinance to 10 allow a 3 percent hotel tax for all 811 hotel 11 rooms within city limits. 12 The county charges 7 percent. 13 There's about 3 million dollars just sitting. 14 These are just some recommendations to help 15 allow honest property owners to become as whole 16 as possible. Acknowledge this important 17 conversation or don't. The choice is yours. 18 Next week, part three, our amazing 19 hardworking unionized employees. Good evening, 20 Council, and the good people of Scranton, and 21 happy St. Patrick's Day. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Our next speaker, Les 23 Spindler. 24 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 25 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and  15 1 homeowner, taxpayer. First thing I have 2 tonight, spoke about the Green Ridge Street 3 bridge last week, said how they took like a 4 month off. 5 Well, last Monday they came, started 6 taking that dirt pile away. And up to 7 Thursday, they were doing it. I drove by 8 Friday. They weren't doing it Friday. I went 9 by yesterday. They weren't there yesterday. 10 Finally they showed up today again. 11 So hopefully by the end of the day 12 today, the rest of that dirt was gone. And 13 hopefully they won't take another month off. 14 Once that happens -- hopefully they finish. 15 That project should be done no later than next 16 month or no later than May. 17 Moving on, I forgot to bring this up 18 last week. I go up and down Green Ridge Street 19 twice every day, Monday to Friday, taking a 20 child to school, picking him up. That road is 21 one of your roughest roads to ride in this city 22 from the railroad viaduct up to Monroe Avenue 23 going up to Dunmore, Green Ridge Street is 24 terrible, especially the 900 block and the 1000 25 block.  16 1 There's pave cuts and potholes and 2 cracks in the pavement. I brought this up over 3 a year ago. I don't know what PennDOT is 4 looking at. But that's one of the worst 5 streets to travel in the city. The 900 block 6 is littered with pave cuts. It's like driving 7 on a washboard. It's terrible, terrible. 8 And in coming down, the other 9 problem is manhole covers that don't meet the 10 surface of the road. It's like hitting a 11 pothole. And I had three corners. There's one 12 on Penn Avenue in Green Ridge. There's an 13 orange line drawn around it for like since the 14 winter nothing's been done. 15 And there's two on Monsey, corner of 16 Monsey and Green Ridge. And there's two more 17 on Capouse and Green Ridge. Hitting those 18 manhole covers is like hitting a pothole. So, 19 like I said, that's one of the most travelled 20 streets in the city and it's terrible, 21 terrible. 22 Moving on, anybody that's been 23 coming to these meetings for as long as I have, 24 knows not a fan of the University of Scranton. 25 The pilot that they pay to the city is nothing  17 1 near what they should be. For all the 2 taxpaying properties that they bought and taken 3 them off the tax rolls, they don't pay nearly 4 what they should be. 5 But on a good note though, I want to 6 wish the University of Scranton Lady Royals the 7 best of luck at the final four this week in 8 Virginia. I started going to watch their games 9 in January because whether you know it or not, 10 their leading scorer is named Casey Kranson. 11 She's the daughter of one of 12 Scranton's finest, Patrol Officer Jill Foley. 13 I know Jill for like 23 years. And I said -- 14 when I saw Jill a while back, I said I got to 15 come and see some games. I started going. 16 They weren't just beating people. 17 They were beating by 30, 40, 50 18 points. I left one game after the third 19 quarter. They were winning 83 to 22. And last 20 weekend they were good games because tougher 21 competition. They beat a team from Minnesota 22 on Saturday ended up by 16 points. 23 But they were up by 20-some. But 24 and I went to the athletic director before the 25 game started Saturday. I said, you know what  18 1 would be a good idea to have a watch party at 2 the Long Center. A lot of people won't make it 3 to Virginia. So he liked the idea. But he 4 said, he said, let's see what happens tonight. 5 Well, they won. So hopefully 6 they'll do that. And I met so many people 7 going to those games. And I got to give a 8 shoutout to one special person. The first game 9 I went to I sat down. This young man waived to 10 me and said, Hi, Les. Didn't know who he was. 11 And he his mother went onto say they 12 don't live in the city but they watch the 13 Council meetings every week. And they said -- 14 not to be cocky, but they said they love the 15 things I say and this and that. And he's a 16 wonderful young man. 17 He just told me that night that he 18 got his driver's permit. So, Grayson, I hope 19 you're watching. I'm going to miss seeing you 20 at the games. Hopefully we'll run into each 21 other again. 22 Good luck with your driving. And I 23 said it was nice meeting you. It was lot of 24 fun. So that's all I have tonight. Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much,  19 1 Les. Next speaker is Ron Ellman. Mr. 2 Voldenberg -- 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: Yes, sir. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: There is some 5 pavement restoration included with the Green 6 Ridge Street project that I know we did get an 7 update. Can we find out if they're going to 8 pave further than just the area of the bridge 9 that they plan on going several blocks or what 10 the area is they plan on restoring when it 11 comes to Green Ridge Street. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 14 MR. ELLMAN: Council, well, last 15 week was another birthday for me. Rose Ann 16 decided that I didn't want to come to a council 17 meeting. Anyway, I heard all of that BS about 18 how fortunate we are to have these new programs 19 overtaking our cities and towns and forest and 20 everything else. 21 You know, I was listening. How 22 could people be so naive to think that as the 23 paper said this past week, they're going to use 24 a small amount of water. They don't need these 25 quantities of electricity that there will be  20 1 thousands of jobs. 2 They only need a small concision of 3 not highly paid people to watch monitors. 4 That's what's being done right now in the ones 5 that are running. They don't have a bunch of 6 people. And right now while we're sitting here 7 and I'm standing here, you know as well as I'm 8 here, somebody somewhere is working on a better 9 system than these big buildings full of all 10 kinds of equipment. 11 I have one of my friends that died. 12 His son's in the business. He told me on the 13 phone -- it must be a year ago now. I was 14 telling him I need a new refrigerator. And he 15 said he honestly believes all these house 16 explosions are from the gas being used in 17 refrigerators. 18 Anyway, that long ago he mentioned 19 these big centers that are becoming and buying 20 property. So it's not new. Well, to change it 21 a little bit, my friend the Mayor, the worst 22 mayor of American cities, she seems like her 23 running is getting to her a little bit. 24 I think she's calling -- it's like 25 the pot calling the kettle black. I just  21 1 wondered if she does get anywhere if she'll 2 Scrantonize and Bidenize the whole country like 3 being a Biden protege as she is. 4 Maybe she wants to be more like 5 Clinton or Harris. And this Mayor -- our Mayor 6 couldn't hold a candle to those two ladies. At 7 least they had something good during their 8 times in office. 9 You know, it said that the 10 government isn't supposed to go against the 11 will of the people. But we see it coming. 12 These -- these people are -- our elected 13 officials are softening up getting us ready 14 like -- ready for the kill that we're going to 15 have these units all over everywhere. 16 You know why? Because they don't 17 have to worry about the people out here, what 18 the will of the people is. This is -- this is 19 a terrible thing to come because these 20 buildings 5, 10 years, these buildings will be 21 needless, useless big eyesores. Thank you. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 23 anyone else like to address Council? 24 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Tom Coyne, 25 Minooka. First on the data centers, I'm glad  22 1 that after I talked before Council about the 2 issue of if a zoning does not address a usage, 3 it's allowed everywhere and that everyone 4 jumped on the band wagon. 5 Yes, it needs to be added to the 6 zoning to make it as easy as possible even in 7 the areas that it may be allowed, it should be 8 set as SE, special exception requiring them to 9 deal with neighbors, public hearings and 10 gaining a zoning variance exception. 11 I believe there needs to be set 12 conditions of reduced operations during 13 emergencies such as mandatory reductions during 14 droughts and grid issues. Data centers are 15 fixed locations but for most operations, AI and 16 storage, it could be shifted to other 17 facilities and they should be required to 18 provide a Sarbanes-Oxly type process in the 19 application for an exception to the rules for 20 the center. 21 Redundancy and the ability to shift 22 operations to another region is a prudent 23 measure. As the ordinance says, get it on the 24 books and then you could fine tune it, even if 25 it only says in all of the zones, a special  23 1 exception is required for data centers. That 2 covers the point. 3 Off to the snow report. First, it 4 looks good on the surface level but it lacks 5 specific details that the city should offer 6 clarity. And I'll address them. Of the total 7 snow vehicles, 7 require CDLs and 11 do not. 8 Of the listing of staff -- short 9 staff on the shift I see a number, but it lacks 10 the clarity of out of the ones who responded 11 how many had the CDL licenses. 12 Thursday, January 29th and Friday, 13 January 30th of 2026, 2 p.m. to 6 a.m. shifts, 14 five drivers reported, including one operator 15 at salt shed. Four drivers is an obviously 16 short. And I'm not sure if included was proper 17 as use for the salt shed operator unless he had 18 a CDL license or if it was five reporting, plus 19 the salt shed operator. 20 So two of out seven days we're 21 unclear if all CDL drivers who would have 22 covered the seven trucks were available and 23 reported to work and if the city was factoring 24 in mandatory downtime for a CDL driver's 25 license.  24 1 Workers do not need -- the workers 2 who do not need CDLs are listed as reported in 3 were not broken out in the numbers. And if 4 there is a shortage of non CDL plow drivers 5 there, then cross training should be mandated 6 so everyone can run a plow. 7 Does the Director of DPW and the 8 managers have a CDL license? And were they out 9 plowing? Second, regarding the time of the 10 shifts, 2 p.m. to 6 a.m. for an entire week, 11 that's 16 hours off -- 16 on and 8 off. 12 CDL forbids more than 8 hours and 13 then requires 10 off. And even under the 14 emergency rule of the Federal Motor Carriers 15 Safety Administration, the 14 hour rules 16 extends it 14 and then 10 off. This 17 requirement is a DOT requirement. 18 If you plan to run emergency shift 19 for longer hours, then sleeping facilities need 20 to be made available at the DPW garage as you 21 do with the fire department as 16 hour shifts 22 are unreasonable and unsafe. 23 Third, it bills the call out numbers 24 and excuse for staffing and the need to 25 outsource contractors and then states city  25 1 officials deploy DPW staff insufficient -- 2 sufficient to reach full capacity throughout 3 the storm event and subsequent cleanup. 4 So we had callouts that caused us to 5 be understaffed. But we had sufficient staff. 6 Which is it? The report says both. Again, 7 they follow after that with if staffing 8 shortfalls continue, they have to -- as they 9 have been trending, the city may have to 10 consider one or more vendors available to 11 perform snowplowing or removal. 12 So to clarify, we did not have 13 enough, but we had enough and because we don't 14 when we did, we may need outside vendors. 15 Something is wrong in this evaluation. So 16 cross training on the non CDL plows should be a 17 part of the plan or hiring more CDL drivers to 18 cover the callouts in excessive shifts. 19 And last, how about park service 20 crews? They do drive trucks. Are they 21 available to be called in for emergency for 22 running non CDL plows? Why isn't other city 23 resources who run trucks put on the call-in 24 list for city emergencies? That would be 25 prudent. Good night.  26 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Fifth 2 Order. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 4 MOTIONS. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Hang on. Yep, sorry, 6 Frank. Rik Little. 7 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Rik Little. 8 It's still hard to hear anything. I'd like to 9 talk to Chris about seeing if there's -- if I 10 could bring my blue tooth headphones here 11 because it's hard to hear. And I missed it 12 last week. You should ring a bell or something 13 when the last speaker -- I just came from the 14 library, the greatest institution in this city, 15 the greatest library I've ever been to. 16 Fantastic place, you could learn 17 about anything, get anything and do anything 18 through the library should be greatly 19 supported. And I was reading the newspaper. 20 Newspaper doesn't come out yesterday, but the 21 one newspaper came out today. And I read it 22 and the editorials about transparency and 23 Sunshine Laws. 24 And that is what has to happen. I'm 25 seeing a little movement in the government  27 1 because things are changing fast all over the 2 world. And, you know, they are talking about 3 data centers. I mean, this has been coming up 4 the pike a real long time. 5 It's my opinion that the data 6 centers as they are now will just completely 7 destroy this whole community. And they're not 8 necessary. You know, I'm watching the war in 9 the middle east. And, you know, I've always 10 read about weapons, especially in, you know, 11 Lebanon and Syria, you know, in the past 20 12 years and, you know, it's attributed to 13 Starlink satellites, you know, because people 14 are fighting with drones and, you know, the 15 iron domes and everything. 16 But that's -- it seems to me that's 17 the future. And energy is nuclear efficient. 18 And that's the future. But, you know, if they 19 come in here it's just going to be bad water, 20 bad sound, bad taxes. And taxes are really bad 21 now. 22 And people have to know what's going 23 on getting back to the Sunshine Law. And, you 24 know, I had a hell of a time staying in 25 Scranton Housing Authority, you know, that's  28 1 when I originally started coming here. I 2 couldn't even find out who owned the building, 3 you know, and then the attorney here tells me 4 it's owned by HUD. 5 Well, you know, that's the sort of 6 answers I'm getting from, you know, all of this 7 Medicare and Medicaid stuff. And I spent a lot 8 of time walking around seeing all this -- you 9 know, Rob Bresnahan is stealing your Medicare 10 and Medicaid and all of this stuff. 11 It's a complicated system. But when 12 you start thinking about, this area -- I mean, 13 the whole state is run by Geisinger. You know, 14 it started in Danville. It's a medical thing. 15 Everything is about behavioral health. 16 And, you know, any crime in this 17 area -- you look at any bus, it's like the, you 18 know, the -- what do they call it, Treatment 19 Court and they got like four of the eight 20 judges in on that. 21 You know, people commit crimes and 22 you realize you see, oh, $50,000 bail and you 23 see another crime, you know, for going to the 24 Geisinger Hospital in there. They tie him up 25 and it's crazy, you know, it's crazy that I go  29 1 down to the Capital Record plant where the 2 Beach Boys and Beatles records were all printed 3 on this side of the country. And it's Scranton 4 Behavioral Health, you know, which used to be 5 right there on Adams. 6 You know, everything is behavioral 7 health. And all the remedies are legal. 8 There's too much legal stuff because they cheat 9 in all the legal stuff. There's no due 10 process. And that's the problem with the, you 11 know, the former government we have here 12 because everybody is acquiescing to the legal. 13 And we're going into a big computer 14 age. And I'm certainly, you know, AI is the 15 thing. And things are compounding daily going 16 faster and faster. And, you know, we're not in 17 a war, you know, we haven't had a declared war 18 in many, many years in my whole life, you know, 19 and the purpose of Congress and the purpose of 20 our representatives, it has to be made clear 21 and that's a hard thing to do without a media. 22 I guess my time is up, but thank you. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 24 else like to address Council? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A.  30 1 MOTIONS. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 3 have any motions or comments? 4 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, just a couple. 5 First, last week I had asked again about a 6 couple of properties that I wanted to see 7 prioritized for potential demolition. 8 And I was -- we received a response 9 that the OECD team will look further into the 10 two properties I had mentioned to see if they 11 should be prioritized for demolition. 12 I have some followup questions to 13 this. I know that in the past I believe there 14 was a committee that had met or a group of 15 employees to determine what to do with the 16 condemned properties or creating that 17 demolition list. 18 I'd like to know now if there's 19 still a committee or a group in place that 20 needs to do that. If so, how often; and then 21 when they will anticipate having a demolition 22 list ready for -- for 2026. And I would also 23 like to know a little bit more about how the 24 demolitions are prioritized. 25 I'm assuming but I don't want to  31 1 assume that, you know, safety is number one if 2 something has to be brought down because of 3 that or then perhaps the amount of time that 4 property's been condemned. I know some of 5 these do also get stuck legally and in court 6 and that could hold up the process. 7 But I would just appreciate if we 8 had some more information to provide the public 9 with the -- on the process of the demolitions 10 and condemnations since there are a number of 11 properties that continue to get brought up to 12 me and I'm sure other Council members as well 13 that have been in that condition for a long 14 period of time. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that 16 information, Dr. Rothchild. 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And even 18 if a property is not currently on the 19 demolition list, some of the longstanding 20 condemned properties I'd still like know what 21 their status is. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that also. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I 24 appreciate that. And I wanted to bring up 25 another topic I had a motion last week about --  32 1 I believe it's last week for sending out a 2 letter to the county assessors office for the 3 letters that were sent out to tax exempt 4 organizations nonprofits to determine their 5 eligibility if they were still going to be able 6 to remain a nonprofit if that was still 7 appropriate or if there is potential for them 8 to pay taxes. 9 And we're asking for the list of 10 properties that were ineligible or did not 11 respond and I know that our solicitor had a 12 conversation with someone within that office. 13 But we still have not gotten that list. I know 14 that they were also on vacation, but I 15 honestly, I'm tired of the excuses. 16 I think we've been getting a lot of 17 them. And I really would like to see that 18 happen. So I just wanted to reiterate the 19 importance of Council sending a letter to them 20 and demanding that we receive the list. 21 I know that the city's been asking 22 for it for months and months too. So that's 23 all that I have. Thank you. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Sean McAndrew, do 25 you have any motions or comments?  33 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, a few. 2 Last week again I stressed my concern about not 3 getting the Fidelity inspection a public 4 document. The administration originally wanted 5 to speak to us in executive session to go over 6 that. 7 I was happy to see that we got a 8 document on Friday. But after reading it, I 9 wasn't as happy as I thought I would be because 10 it was only a summary of the inspection. And 11 it was marked confidential. 12 So now none of us can share out what 13 was found in it, not how much repairs are going 14 to make or what repairs need to be done. So 15 that is very concerning to me. Again, I'm 16 going to reiterate I don't understand why a 17 building inspection has to be confidential and 18 talked about behind closed doors. 19 It's the taxpayers' money we are 20 spending to purchase a building -- to purchase 21 a building that two of us didn't even vote on. 22 The start of this entire Fidelity purchase to 23 me has been rushed. 24 They did it before the new board -- 25 the Council came on. Inspections were -- there  34 1 was inspections done before and reports from 2 our engineers before they even voted on 3 those -- and voting on passing to purchase the 4 building. 5 And then there was delays with us 6 getting the inspections and now we can't even 7 get a copy of it to discuss in public. So I'm 8 extremely upset about it. Unfortunately, since 9 it is marked confidential, I will not be giving 10 it out. 11 But I'm definitely concerned about 12 that going forward. And it just lacks 13 transparency to me. And I think that's the 14 number one thing we keep hearing of this Mayor 15 and administration is how transparent they are. 16 Well, this is just another example of not being 17 as transparent as they say. 18 Onto the Mulberry Street billboard. 19 Attorney Gilbride, I know we spoke last week. 20 I asked if you could -- see if you could get 21 any information from the law department on why 22 all of a sudden there was a settlement and the 23 billboard received permits and they're allowed 24 to change to a digital billboard. Have you 25 received anything from the city?  35 1 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I have not received 2 anything. That issue did come up yesterday. 3 And when Council President Schuster and myself 4 met with the administration, we were informed 5 at that point that a settlement had been 6 arrived at which we already knew. 7 But we were not provided with 8 information on the actual merits of the 9 settlement and then other information was given 10 as to the current situation with the owner of 11 the building that the sign sits next to that 12 requires -- they were required to provide 13 energy and they're not requiring it. 14 And so the sign is not currently 15 functioning apparently. But that was the 16 information that was provided to us at our 17 meeting. 18 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. I 19 appreciate that. Again, more lack of 20 information that I'm upset about. I mean, if 21 there are settlements we should be knowing 22 because this is something that Council voted 23 on. I was surprised to see at the end of last 24 week that there was article in the paper. And 25 if the article is correct, that means the Times  36 1 knows a little bit more than we do. 2 There was a complaint that claimed 3 the city missed the 45 day working window 4 deadline under the City Code app and the HARB's 5 decision. So because of that it looks like the 6 Court granted them to move forward and be able 7 to get the permit. 8 So, Mr. Gilbride, can we please ask 9 is that the correct reason why we have to 10 settle now because of the city. It's not the 11 HARB. I believe it's the city missed the 12 window, the timing window to bring this down to 13 Council to properly vote on it. 14 I know Council voted on it, but they 15 voted on it late because the city did not get 16 it down to the previous Council. Can you look 17 into that and see if that is actually correct? 18 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yes, sir. 19 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: I also asked for 20 the original permit of the billboard because 21 my understanding was the billboard never even 22 had a permit to begin with or a correct permit 23 to begin with. The response we received was, 24 "The city issued a sign permit for the 25 installation of a digital billboard at 320  37 1 Mulberry Street." 2 Well, that's not what I'm wondering. 3 I'm wondering when the original billboard that 4 was placed there years ago, was there actually 5 a permit. If so, can we please have a copy of 6 it. So, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could ask for 7 when the -- when it was permitted for it, can 8 we please have a copy of it? 9 And again, this is for the original 10 billboard, not the digital one, the original 11 billboard that was put there 10 years ago. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I did reference the 13 original billboard. I'll ask again. 14 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Appreciate it. 15 Thank you very much. Next, I did get some 16 calls regarding the homeless camps that were 17 popping up down by the schools. Before I even 18 was able to bring it up here or talk to anybody 19 in administration, I found out that the DPW 20 from the Mayor's direction has been taking down 21 the homeless camps. 22 So can we just have confirmation if 23 that is true and is that something they're just 24 doing now because it's the spring or will they 25 be doing that throughout the whole year?  38 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those 2 questions. 3 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. And that 4 is all I have for now. Thank you very much. 5 Have a good week. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 7 Mr. Gilbride, Sean had brought up the 8 confidential piece of that document. Can we 9 just clarify that and see if we could have that 10 deemed otherwise so some of that can be 11 discussed? And have we missed that 30 day 12 window that the extension went out for the 13 inspection? 14 ATTY. GILBRIDE: I don't know the 15 answer off the top of my head because I have 16 not even seen the actual extension paperwork. 17 So without seeing that original paperwork, I 18 don't want to give you an incorrect answer. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. We could work 20 on that. 21 ATTY. GILBRIDE: It's got to be 22 close though. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, so we could 24 work after the meeting and find out those 25 answers. Thank you. Mr. Mark McAndrew, do you  39 1 have any motions or comments? 2 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I got a couple. 3 So NeighborWorks was here a couple weeks ago 4 talking about the upcoming programs that they 5 have coming. And they mentioned the West 6 Scranton hometown hero second round of banners. 7 And I thought, well, you know what, 8 I remember starting that project in Scranton 9 because I made a motion right here about three 10 years ago because Mr. Gattens -- Mr. Bob 11 Gattens already started in South Side. 12 And since then, he took over Green 13 Ridge, North Scranton. I'm not sure where else 14 he went with that. But the rest of the city, 15 but West Scranton didn't have that program 16 started. So I made a motion. I got that 17 program up and running. 18 NeighborWorks has been a great 19 steward of this program. I'd like to give them 20 credit. But I remember initially we were told, 21 you know, they're going to hang them for a 22 couple years and that's fine. 23 And they stated last week they're 24 going to return the original banners to the 25 residents. And that's a great idea too.  40 1 But along the way I made mention of 2 what can we do after that? So -- and the idea 3 I had is because when you applied for the 4 banner, you had to send in an e-mailed picture 5 or a file which they retain right now. So what 6 I would like to do is reach out to 7 NeighborWorks because they're stewards of this 8 program. 9 If when they return the original 10 banner that they could return that file or 11 picture electronically so family members could 12 if, you know, can buy the garden variety flag. 13 Did you ever see the little ones you change out 14 for holidays in your yards? I think that would 15 be a great idea if these residents are made 16 aware that they had the opportunity -- 17 opportunity because their flag is coming down. 18 They'll still be able to display it 19 when they feel it's pertinent, holidays or 20 anything related they would want displayed in 21 their yard. And maybe we'll get some buy-in 22 from Jaworskis who actually handles the West 23 Side banners. 24 And, if not, there's a bunch of 25 places online that sell them very  41 1 inexpensively. So if you could put all that 2 together and see if they would provide, you 3 know, help the residents maybe lead them 4 towards that way when they take home their 5 banner because the -- let's face it. 6 The banners they're going to take 7 home are pretty big and where are you going to 8 display them. I think a garden variety they 9 call them would be pretty cool to, you know, to 10 continue to display, you know, the proud 11 veterans in their family. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out to 13 Gerard Hetman tomorrow. 14 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Thank you. Then 15 I got from a concerned resident up East 16 Mountain across from the Salvation Army on East 17 Mountain Road needs some attention. This week 18 a load of rocks was dumped at the base of the 19 concrete barrier and is still -- and is still 20 very weedy there waiting for a thrown lit 21 cigarette to ignite and cause a fire. 22 So the resident states -- and I 23 agree that they pay very high taxes on the 24 mountain. So I agree something should be done. 25 This is kind of a yearly thing with some of  42 1 this debris. And I know there's discussion, 2 like, there and then before the Lookout 3 entering the city that's always -- and 4 PennDOT's pretty good about it. 5 They have to be reminded of cleaning 6 it up. But, Mr. Voldenberg, I have pictures 7 sent to me that I will definitely forward to 8 you so you could pass this onto the proper 9 departments to address. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: Thank you, sir. 11 MR. MCANDREW: And you already took 12 care of Third Avenue because some residents 13 reached out to me about Third Avenue. That's 14 near the Elm Street Bridge Project where, you 15 know, since -- since it started, there was 16 redirection of traffic on Third Avenue, mostly 17 trucks. 18 And the poor residents there are 19 dealing with a lot of debris and dirt and dust. 20 And, you know, the people that reached out to 21 me said, you know, before this started there 22 was some Councilmen down there or people and 23 the Mayor -- I wasn't one of them because I 24 don't remember this -- that agreed to do 25 periodic street cleaning because this resident  43 1 is like my house is filthy. My car is 2 constantly filthy, my porch. 3 It's not just her. It's her 4 neighbors. So but I did see that you forwarded 5 this inquiry of mine. And we did get a 6 response back. So I'd like to let them know 7 that this is going to happen for them. 8 Let me see what else here. So I do 9 want to bring up -- I brought this up a couple 10 weeks in a row. And I reached to our Solicitor 11 to maybe help me out with maybe a little 12 research because -- and as I mentioned, the 13 so-called ghost telephone poles, right, which 14 I'm referring to when the utility company puts 15 a new pole in, they leave the old one, right? 16 I was reminded by a resident there's 17 three at one site in West Scranton and by 18 another resident that it appears to be a 19 danger. I do believe it's a public safety 20 issue. I mean, these poles are dangerous. 21 They could fall. They could hurt somebody, 22 plus they're unsightly. 23 I mean, it's like they're leaving 24 their garbage when they put a new pole in. 25 And, you know, these utility companies come in  44 1 here like they stated last week they want to be 2 good neighbors. They want to be good partners 3 in our community. 4 Well, I don't think that that's 5 being a good partner. I know there is some 6 legislation in the works at the state level 7 that should address it or will. But it's 8 only -- I think it was only passed in the House 9 and has to go to the Senate. 10 But I did ask Mr. Gilbride if there 11 is anything we could do locally. I don't know 12 if we should wait for the state and then 13 help -- maybe that will help us craft something 14 locally. Can you -- can you touch on that for 15 us, Solicitor Gilbride? 16 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Yeah, in 17 Pennsylvania Public Utility Act, local 18 municipalities are only allowed to pass 19 ordinances with regard to public safety issues 20 regarding ghost poles. 21 And, of course, what designate -- 22 what is a ghost pole safety problem is 23 something that the Court decides. So if they 24 are unsightly or whatnot, that's not a reason. 25 You are not allowed to do that. You're  45 1 correct. There is legislation moving through 2 the state legislature right now. 3 It's kind of been stuck for a while. 4 So it certainly would be helpful to have some 5 guidance from the state to know what we will be 6 able to do or not able to because at this 7 point, I'm not an engineer. 8 I'm not an engineer so I can't tell 9 what a public -- in my opinion on what public 10 safety issue is meaningless. And ultimately it 11 would have to be something a judge would decide 12 if it was -- if that was threatened -- if a 13 lawsuit was threaten by them for trying to 14 force an ordinance through. 15 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Well, 16 thank you. 17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: But I'm not even 18 sure -- truthfully, I'm not even sure how -- we 19 would have to issue whether it from the police 20 or the zoning would have to issue something 21 against them saying you must take this down and 22 then they'd have to file with the court saying, 23 you know, you can't do that. That's not a 24 safety issue. 25 And so then we're just getting into  46 1 litigation. So it's really messy with the way 2 the law is currently situated because there is 3 no guidance at all other than what is a safety 4 issue. 5 I mean, certainly if something is 6 right in the middle of the road, that's a 7 safety issue. But does it have to be a foot 8 off? Does it have to be 6 inches? I -- like, 9 that's the -- and the case law is not developed 10 on that probably for that reason. Nobody wants 11 to spend money on litigation constantly over 12 something like that. 13 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I get it. I 14 just don't agree with the position of the state 15 allowing the utility companies to actually just 16 leave their -- you know, poles -- 17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, the current 18 state of the law in Pennsylvania is they are 19 allowed to do it. That is the law in 20 Pennsylvania. 21 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I know. I don't 22 like it and the residents don't. So let's keep 23 our eye on that legislation. Hopefully it will 24 put us in a direction where we might be able to 25 do something or at least, you know, just  47 1 because they don't want to do it doesn't -- 2 just because the utility company say, hey, we 3 don't have to do it, doesn't mean they 4 shouldn't when they came that, you know, that 5 they want to work with us and be good neighbors 6 and partners. 7 And -- but they have no problem 8 raising our, you know, their rates at a whim. 9 You know, so thank you though for looking into 10 that. We'll just keep our eye on that. And 11 that is all I have. Thank you. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 13 Voldenberg, two years ago we had a list of over 14 100 double poles in North Scranton and West 15 Side alone. We did turn that list over. Do 16 you recall the -- sorry to put you on the spot. 17 Do you recall the answer we got because I do 18 believe that Don King had reached out and -- 19 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's right. He 20 was working with a representative at PPL to 21 resolve it. But they weren't able to do so. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Can we reach back out 23 to him and see if any of those poles on that 24 list that we gave him if they've been taken 25 care of or if they are still up?  48 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I have the list. 2 I'll follow up. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 4 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments? 5 MR. FLYNN: Yes, thank you. First, 6 I got word from UGI today that they will be 7 coming to Electric Street tomorrow to restore 8 their pave cuts, long overdue. 9 So I really hope that they get out 10 there tomorrow. It's a nightmare out there. 11 So let's see what happens with that. And then 12 also, you know, I wasn't aware until Mr. Sean 13 McAndrew just talked about taking down some of 14 the encampments and some of the tents. 15 And my hope is that as the city is 16 doing this that they would partner with some of 17 these nonprofits that came before us. And 18 Social Contract last week was talking so much 19 about how all the nonprofits come together so 20 well in Scranton that they would hopefully get 21 some to go out to these sites with DPW or the 22 police or whoever is going out there to offer 23 some services to these individuals as they're 24 losing what is at that point their home to have 25 the availability of services there for them  49 1 would be I think not only impactful, but the 2 right and moral and ethical thing to do as 3 we're tearing down their tents and their homes 4 at that point to offer them some sort of 5 services, whether they may be, whether it be 6 just, you know, guidance on some of the 7 shelters or some other more extensive services 8 that they may need to help themselves. 9 So, Mr. Voldenberg, if we could 10 please ask the administration if they are doing 11 that; and, if not, if they could please figure 12 out who the right nonprofits are to go out with 13 them as they are doing this to help these 14 individuals get some of these services. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. Flynn. 16 MR. FLYNN: And that's all I have. 17 Thank you. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I have a 19 few comments tonight. One, can we just reach 20 out again -- I know we spoke to the 21 administration about the Meadow Brook Project. 22 But can we just reach out to keep that on the 23 radar as to where we are with easements for 24 that project? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir.  50 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And it 2 was mentioned tonight, Grayson, someone in 3 Fourth Order had mentioned him. He had sent me 4 several messages online. And I had the chance 5 to meet him recently. I was glad that he said 6 hello and expressed some of the -- expressed 7 some of his opinions with me. 8 Mark did get the bottom of East 9 Mountain. On the way to the meeting, I did get 10 a message about 1703 Washburn Street. So that 11 is 1703 Washburn Street just in front of the 12 sidewalk, there's a small subsidence that 13 opened up. 14 They were able to send some 15 pictures. I sent them over to you, Frank. 16 They were able to cover it with their recycling 17 can. So it's a small subsidence about the size 18 of recycling can. If we can send that over 19 to -- 20 MR. VOLDENBERG: I received that and 21 I'll follow up. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 23 In caucus tonight we did discuss pilots. We 24 did discuss some of the larger nonprofits in 25 the city and trying to follow up on some other  51 1 pilots. Frank, can we ask for a list of the 2 individuals that over the last three years have 3 sent pilot payments into the city? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 6 We spoke about some other actions we could 7 possibly take. But we'll wait until we get 8 that back before we make any moves or any 9 action on that. That's all I have for tonight. 10 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B. FOR 11 INTRODUCTION - AN ORDINANCE - AMENDING THE 12 ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SCRANTON TO 13 AMEND PROVISIONS RELATED TO DATA CENTERS AND 14 RELATED PROVISIONS AS OUTLINED HEREIN. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: At this time I'll 16 entertain a motion that Item 5-B be introduced 17 into its proper committee. 18 MR. FLYNN: So moved. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question? 21 MR. FLYNN: On the question, I just 22 want to say I'm glad to see this ordinance 23 being introduced tonight -- both of these 24 ordinances. I appreciate the work that went in 25 to putting it together. I believe that these  52 1 ordinances put us in a position to be proactive 2 rather than reactive. 3 By updating our zoning code now, 4 we're making sure that if opportunities come to 5 Scranton down the road, we have the right 6 safeguards, regulations, and review processes 7 already in place. 8 Being proactive with our zoning code 9 is just good governance. I look forward to 10 continuing to review the proposal, hearing 11 from -- input from stakeholders and residents 12 as we move through this process and just 13 overall excited to see this be introduced and 14 what comes of it. But I'm glad this is being 15 introduced tonight. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 17 Anyone else on the question? 18 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, 19 Councilman Flynn there took many of the words 20 out of my mouth that I was also thinking in 21 reference to 5-B and 5-C tonight. I'm also 22 happy to be introducing these pieces of 23 legislation. 24 And what's come to my -- the word 25 that's come to mind as well is proactive, being  53 1 proactive in doing this and seeing this as a 2 way to protect the city. It's important to me. 3 And I know important to the public as well. 4 But we do need to add definitions 5 and language into our zoning ordinance because 6 they do not already exist for data centers. 7 And that's why I'll be voting on these pieces 8 tonight. Thank you. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Anyone else on the 10 question? 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I agree 12 with both of my colleagues. I'm very happy 13 that this is proactive or getting it out there. 14 And we're, you know, make sure we're protecting 15 our city. That is the biggest point, make sure 16 we're protecting our city. 17 And I'm also very happy and thankful 18 that the administration is including us in it. 19 President Schuster has been meeting with 20 administration regarding going back and forth, 21 taking our questions. 22 So I think this is a great example 23 where we could work together to provide a great 24 ordinance to protect our city. So I'm very 25 happy to be voting on this and looking forward  54 1 to working together to create the ordinance. 2 Thanks. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 4 Also on the question? 5 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Yeah, on the 6 question, so the law -- so it's clear to the 7 public that we're not just introducing 8 legislation because we want data centers in the 9 city. 10 The law requires us to allow four to 11 eight percent of land in Scranton for data 12 centers, doesn't mean I like it. It doesn't 13 mean I'm personally for data centers. But like 14 stated earlier, we don't have anything on the 15 books related to data centers. 16 So when we don't have anything on 17 the books when people come before zoning, there 18 might be a perception that they're allowed. 19 So, of course, if you look at the legislation, 20 we're voting on introducing amending or 21 provision on zoning or for zoning that didn't 22 exist. 23 But we're going to have the ability 24 to amend, supplement, or repeal. And I could 25 tell you, I will, you know, and I'm sure my  55 1 colleagues will do our due diligence to protect 2 the city and regulate these data centers. 3 And we have time to do it. So I'm 4 glad we're introducing it. I'm glad we're 5 voting on it so we could work on it. Like I 6 said, it doesn't mean I'm for them. It doesn't 7 mean I like them. But we'll have the 8 opportunity to do it right on behalf of all of 9 you. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Also on 11 the question, everything that has been stated 12 before me I have the similar sentiments. We're 13 taking a proactive stance to protect the 14 interest of city. There's several state -- 15 pieces of state legislation regarding same 16 topic. 17 So it's going to give us the time to 18 see how those -- that state legislation pans 19 out. It's going to give us time for public 20 input and public comment. And I'm happy we're 21 going to be moving -- introducing and having 22 discussion on this topic as we move forward. 23 All those in favor of introduction signify by 24 saying aye. 25 DR.
