Are there 11 any comments on any of the Third Order items? 12 If not, received and filed. 13 Do any Council members have any 14 announcements at this time? 15 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, I have a few. As 16 I stated last week, this Sunday, March 29th, 17 Green Ridge Neighborhood Association is hosting 18 their annual Easter egg hunt at Pretzel Park, 19 the corner of North Washington and Electric 20 Street. It starts at 1 p.m. and it's a free 21 entry. 22 A few other -- I have a few 23 basketball related announcements. I just want 24 to congratulate the University of Scranton 25 women's basketball team on a fabulous season,  6 1 went to the National Championship, had a 2 phenomenal game beating NYU Women's Basketball 3 team breaking their 91 game win streak, fell 4 short in that championship game to a great 5 Denison team. 6 But it was their only loss this 7 season, fabulous season, so congratulations to 8 the University of Scranton Women's Basketball 9 team. And I would also be remiss to not -- to 10 not mention Scranton native and in my 11 estimation, legend Jerry McNamara being named 12 as the new basketball coach at Syracuse 13 University, his alma mater. 14 Brings me back to my times watching 15 him as a young kid at Bishop Hannon and taking 16 those bus trips to Syracuse to see him play. 17 So congratulations to him as well. I know 18 Scranton is behind you and we're rooting for 19 you. That's all I have. Thank you. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 21 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I got a couple. 22 So, yeah, great job, Lady Royals. I'm going to 23 echo Mr. Flynn's comments here. Jerry Mac, I 24 saw them play Notre Dame on the bus trips as a 25 fan. I'm a fan of his too. But it will be  7 1 great to go back 81 and relive some of that. 2 Also, the Victor Alfieri Society or 3 club in West Side is having a special menu this 4 Thursday, 11:30 to 1. They're having gnocchi 5 or cheese ravioli or you could get half and 6 half with meatballs, $12 for members, 14 for 7 nonmembers. That's a great deal. 8 And also, our friends over at the 9 St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, their shelves 10 are running low. So the Client Choice Food 11 Pantry, we would -- they would appreciate 12 some -- and be very grateful to any support or 13 donation you could give. 14 And the items that they're looking 15 for are, like, jarred peanut butter, jelly, 16 crackers, pasta sauce, mayonnaise and bottled 17 water. All right. And that is all I have. 18 Thank you. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other 20 announcements? I have an announcement that -- 21 we'll announce it next week as well, but DPW 22 will be off April 6th for Easter Monday. And 23 garbage will be a day late that week. We'll 24 announce it again next week, but garbage will 25 be a day late the week of Easter Monday.  8 1 Fourth Order. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 3 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker 5 tonight is Joan Hodowanitz. 6 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 7 Scranton. The legislation for $324,880 for the 8 private contractors for the winter storm that 9 we had in January, I read through the backup. 10 And I see that the city is still blaming 11 insufficient staffing due to significant DPW 12 callouts. 13 Now, I know that you've scheduled a 14 caucus on April 7th with, I believe, the 15 Director of DPW two weeks from tonight, which 16 will be the third reading of this particular 17 ordinance. And I'm glad that you haven't moved 18 it up like you have with the DPW contract 19 because I want to hear the other side of the 20 story from the DPW staff why there was so many 21 callouts. 22 There's always two sides to every 23 story. And I hope that the personnel who come 24 to the caucus stay for the entire meeting to 25 hear any comments that are made during Fourth  9 1 Order on April 7 and not just walk out, like, 2 well, done and gone, you know. So I know that 3 we need to pay for these services, and that's 4 not the issue. 5 I'm concerned about how DPW workers 6 are being tarred and feathered before they've 7 had their say. And I just -- just my personal 8 opinion. Thank God we have a DPW contract. 9 It's only been 448 days. But, you know, who am 10 I to complain? 11 I saw in the -- first of all, all we 12 have is a memorandum listing the changes to the 13 previous contract. Somebody needs to sit down 14 and type out the whole contract so we have one 15 document and then post it to the city's 16 website. This is something that every time we 17 have a labor contract renewed, you know, you 18 have to beg. 19 And they say, oh, you know, we have 20 it, and all you have is the memorandum listing 21 the changes. Those changes need to be put into 22 a single document and somebody needs to take 23 ownership of that. That's -- all that is is a 24 typing drill. 25 You let the lawyers look at it and  10 1 make sure no one made any mistakes. But it 2 doesn't help the residents or the municipal 3 employees to have 20 documents to sift through. 4 You need one document. 5 I saw in the contract that they -- 6 DPW is no longer required to reside in the 7 city. So that puts them on a par I believe 8 with police and firefighters. I saw the figure 9 for the 2025 one time bonus to all the union 10 employees of $225,000. 11 What I did not see calculated was 12 the pay raises in 2026. You see, you know, 13 these people are getting a $1.50 pay raise and 14 the rest of them are getting a $2 pay raise. 15 How -- what is the total dollar figure for the 16 2026 budget? Somebody needs to calculate that 17 and tell the public what that figure is. 18 Where is it going to come out? Is 19 it going to come out of professional services 20 in business administration or is it coming out 21 of the contingency fund? I'd like to know 22 what is that figure and where is it going to 23 come out because if you look at the 2025 city 24 budget, you see those 90 union employees flat 25 wages.  11 1 There was no increase in their 2 wages. So we need to see what it's going to be 3 for the year for 2026. And I don't want to 4 have to wait until they show us the 2027 5 budget. I want to know now. And just in case 6 you forgotten, police and fire, their contracts 7 end at the end of this year. 8 I'm hoping that they have a running 9 head start when they start those negotiations 10 because the prior contracts, both of them took 11 over one year. We need to get out of this 12 pattern of doing things that late. 13 And I'm sure that somebody is going 14 to make a lot of money on those negotiations in 15 terms of labor counsels. Thank you. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next 17 speaker is Mike Mancini. 18 MR. MANCINI: Thank you, Council 19 President Schuster. Good evening, Council, 20 residents of Scranton. Tonight part three, my 21 version of the state of Scranton, our unionized 22 employees. 23 Scranton is a city built on hard 24 work, resilience, and pride. And at the heart 25 of that foundation, our unionized city  12 1 employees. From the men and women who maintain 2 our streets to those who protect our neighbors, 3 respond to emergencies, ensure city services 4 run smoothly, union labor is not just the 5 workforce. It's the backbone of our community. 6 Every day our city employees show up 7 with a commitment that goes far beyond 8 paychecks. They're plow operators who work 9 through the night in the harshest of winter 10 storms so our streets are safe by morning. 11 They're firefighters who run towards danger 12 while others are running away. 13 They are police officers who patrol 14 our streets often under difficult circumstances 15 to keep our families safe. They are sanitation 16 workers who keep our neighborhoods clean and 17 liveable regardless of the elements. They are 18 the clerks, technicians and public work crews 19 make sure our city government functions 20 efficiently and reliably. 21 What makes our unionized labor in 22 Scranton so important, it's not just the work 23 itself but the standards it upholds. Scranton 24 has always been a union town. Our history is 25 rooted in labor movement from the railroads, to  13 1 the mines, to the factories that once powered 2 this region. That legacy still matters today. 3 It reminds us that strong 4 communities are built with workers have a voice 5 when jobs are stable, with the dignity in every 6 role. But as we look to the future, we must 7 recognize that supporting our city employees' 8 workforce, is one of our most important assets. 9 The challenges facing our city today 10 are real, aging infrastructure, tight budgets, 11 changing economic conditions and increasing 12 demand for public services. Meeting those 13 challenges requires a workforce that is 14 experienced, motivating and equipped to adapt. 15 The good direction for Scranton is 16 one that invests in its people. That means 17 maintaining fair contracts, fostering open 18 communication between all city leadership and 19 employees. It means working collaboratively, 20 not adversarial to find solutions that balance 21 fiscal responsibility with the need to retain 22 our skilled workers. 23 It also means recognizing that 24 efficiency and fairness are not opposing goals. 25 When we invest in modern equipment, updated  14 1 systems, and workforce development, we power 2 union employees to do their jobs more 3 effectively. 4 That leads to better services, cost 5 savings over time and a stronger city overall. 6 Transparency and accountability must also guide 7 us. Residents deserve to know how their city 8 operates. And city employees deserve to be 9 part of those conversations. 10 When we build trust between our 11 city, its employees, and the public, we create 12 a foundation for long-term success. Most 13 importantly, we must remember that behind every 14 job title is a person, a neighbor, a parent, a 15 friend who is committed to our city. 16 Good morale is critical to success. 17 Our unionized employees just don't work here. 18 They live here. They care deeply about 19 Scranton because it's their home. We continue 20 to support, invest in our workforce while 21 embracing innovation and responsible 22 governance, Scranton can move forward with 23 confidence. 24 We can also preserve the values that 25 define us while building a future that is  15 1 stronger, more efficient, more united. The 2 path ahead is not about choosing between 3 history, tradition and progress. It's about 4 bringing them together. 5 By honoring our union roots, and 6 committing ourselves to smart forward thinking 7 relationships and leadership, we could ensure 8 that Scranton remains a city that works for 9 everybody. On this day, Council will finally 10 approve a contract for DPW unionized employees. 11 I believe it's time to bring all 12 union chiefs to caucus. Let's hear what they 13 have to say. Do each of you agree? Thank you 14 to all of our city employees. Next week, part 15 four of my series, Scranton City Council. Good 16 night, Council and residents of Scranton. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next 18 is Mr. Paul Lindsay. 19 MR. LINDSAY: Good evening, Council. 20 My name is Paul Lindsay. I am a resident and 21 taxpayer of the city. I'm very familiar with 22 government and how it works having proudly 23 served the federal, state, city and county 24 governments for nearly 30 years. 25 I came to tonight's meeting out of  16 1 necessity to discuss my concerns regarding the 2 current situation in the City of Scranton that 3 needs immediate attention, specifically our 4 roads and all the areas that the utility 5 contractors have torn up. 6 They are roads specifically in the 7 South Side that remind me of a third world 8 country. I understand that there are times 9 that utility contractors need to make emergency 10 repairs and those repairs occur when the 11 asphalt plant was closed and proper patching 12 cannot occur. I get that. 13 Currently, there are roads in South 14 Side that have been torn up by utility 15 contractors and temporarily patched for several 16 months now leaving these roads in deplorable 17 condition. My question to Council is, who 18 ultimately oversees the pavement cuts in the 19 City of Scranton? 20 MR. SCHUSTER: So the individuals 21 that you saw here tonight in caucus. 22 MR. LINDSAY: But who ultimately 23 oversees them? 24 MR. SCHUSTER: The Business 25 Administrator.  17 1 MR. LINDSAY: So it would be the 2 City of Scranton, the administration, correct? 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes. 4 MR. LINDSAY: Okay. My next 5 question is, how many pavement cut inspectors 6 does the private company employ in the city? 7 MR. SCHUSTER: We could find that 8 out. 9 MR. LINDSAY: Okay, thank you, 10 because they already said they have 900 that 11 they have to address. That's a pretty large 12 number. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, and that's 900. 14 So that's only the first three months. So 15 there was over 700, almost 800 in '25. And 16 there's 179. There will be more to come. 17 MR. LINDSAY: Yes. It appears to me 18 there's a lot of work that needs to be done. 19 My next question is, is there a system in place 20 to ensure that the utility contractors are 21 making these repairs in the road in a timely 22 fashion? 23 My understanding there is an 24 ordinance in place. But again, I think there 25 is some issues with the ordinance and how many  18 1 teeth the actual ordinance has. We heard a lot 2 of what I would call -- I sat in on this 3 meeting here earlier. I heard a lot of excuses 4 and nothing's getting done. 5 You know, blaming, you know, 6 technology and everything. But there was 7 things in the past that it got done. I've 8 never seen the roads as bad it has been right 9 now. It's deplorable. If there is, I don't 10 believe there has been any compliance by the 11 utility contractors. 12 As a taxpayer, I believe the City of 13 Scranton needs to implement a system that holds 14 these utility contractors to strict guidelines 15 outlined by the work agreement. Moving forward 16 I believe that before any additional 17 nonemergency digging occurs, these utility 18 contractors need to address all the roads that 19 need to be repaved and all the emergency 20 repairs that occurred should be patched 21 properly. 22 I mean, it appears to me like 23 there's -- they're getting way far out ahead of 24 themselves and allowing this to go into the 25 wintertime knowing that these pavement plants  19 1 shut down. That should not occur. If they 2 cannot complete it prior to the pavement 3 plants -- the pavement plants closing, they 4 should not be doing that, digging up the road. 5 That's just not right. 6 I estimate it will take all of the 7 spring, summer, and fall to complete these 8 tasks. The city needs to hold these utility 9 contractors accountable. Remember, what you 10 tolerate becomes a standard. If you accept 11 mediocrity, that becomes the norm. 12 The results thus far are a direct 13 reflection of a system that is a broken and in 14 dire need of repair. I believe this 15 administration has failed and it bears part of 16 the blame. With a show of hands, which Council 17 members believe we, the City of Scranton, need 18 to do a better job of policing pave cuts and 19 repairs by utility contractors. 20 MR. SCHUSTER: I have been speaking 21 about this since the day I got here. 22 MR. LINDSAY: So I believe it's 23 every one of you, right? Yes, let's get it 24 done. Let's get it done. Let's put the 25 pressure on administration as they are  20 1 ultimately responsible for ensuring the utility 2 contractors comply. Thank you. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Up next 4 is Les Spindler. 5 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 6 Council, Les Spindler, city resident and 7 homeowner. I too want to congratulate the Lady 8 Royals. They had a great season. 9 Unfortunately they picked the worst time to 10 play the worst game of the year. 11 I watched the game. They made a 12 good comeback in the third quarter. They took 13 the lead, but then they fell apart in the 14 fourth quarter. But those kids could hold 15 their heads up high. They should be proud of 16 themselves. 17 And I mentioned last week that Kaci 18 Kranson is the daughter of police officer Jill 19 Foley. And Jill told me that Kaci is going to 20 be following in her footsteps. She's going to 21 be a Scranton Police Officer. She passed her 22 test already. 23 All she has to do is get a physical 24 and get her training. So she will be a good 25 addition to our police department. I want to  21 1 congratulate Jerry McNamara too on getting the 2 job at Syracuse. I've been a Syracuse 3 basketball fan ever since Jimmy 4 Boeheim{phonetic} was the head coach, been a 5 Jimmy Boeheim fan ever since he played 6 basketball for our Scranton Miners basketball 7 team, which I don't know if any of you are old 8 enough to know about. 9 I remember growing up as a kid, went 10 to every Miner game. And they were great. It 11 was great basketball. And Jimmy was my 12 favorite player. So good luck, Jerry. I hope 13 you do as good as Jimmy Boeheim did as a coach 14 there. 15 Pave cuts, this company made 16 $219,000 and only $5,000 in fines. It's 17 inexcusable, inexcusable. And they said about 18 the technology and you could track stuff in. 19 These roads are worse now -- I've lived in this 20 city my whole life. The roads have never been 21 worse than they are now. 22 I don't know what kind of technology 23 they're using, but it certainly isn't working. 24 And something's got to be done. I complained 25 about these roads for years. And whether it's  22 1 new legislation with more teeth in it or 2 whatever, but something's got to be done. 3 These companies have to be held 4 accountable. It's unacceptable. Next thing, 5 I'm glad to see the Green Ridge Street Project 6 is moving along a little bit now. It looks 7 like they are putting, like, drainage things in 8 now. 9 From what I see, it should be done 10 no later than May if they keep working because 11 they're getting a lot of work done. I just 12 hope that they keep it up and don't decide to 13 take another month off like they did in 14 February. 15 Next thing, I forgot to bring this 16 up last week. I ran out of time actually. 17 Last Monday I'm sitting on my couch watching TV 18 and I see a DPW pickup truck pull in front of 19 my house. So I went outside. I asked the 20 gentleman if he was here to look at my curb 21 that the city ruined -- well, not the city, the 22 contractor the city paid to clear the snow. 23 And he said no. Anyway, I told him 24 the story what happened. And he said he'll 25 tell Steve the supervisor. Two days later  23 1 Steve shows up at my door. And he's the one 2 that brought the crew last year to fix the 3 curb. I showed him what they did. 4 He said, we'll take care of you, 5 don't worry about it. I said, well, you know, 6 you shouldn't be responsible to do it. That 7 private contractor should there fixing it, not 8 you. I said, you guys did a great job last 9 year. 10 He said, don't worry about it. 11 We'll take care of it. So I think Frank knows 12 who I'm talking about, right, Frank, Steve? 13 He's a good man. So he didn't give me a 14 timeline. But I'm sure he'll come through with 15 it. 16 Let's see, oh, okay, last question. 17 I asked this question a few weeks ago. Does 18 anybody know or did anybody find out what 19 happens to the abandoned vehicles that are 20 towed away? 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Did we get an answer 22 on that one? 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did not. I 24 asked that question. We're waiting on a 25 response. I'll follow up.  24 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you. 2 MR. SPINDLER: Yeah, I was just 3 curious because, well, that one -- the one on 4 2005 Farr Street was towed away finally. I 5 noticed the other day. Yeah, I was just 6 curious about that. That's all I have. Thank 7 you for your time. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 9 you. Next up, Ron Ellman. 10 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 11 Last week I'm known to most of you. I stood 12 before you right here and shared my knowledge 13 of the land sales for data centers by a handful 14 of elected Judas, I guess. But why? Why did 15 these guys go against the will of the people? 16 Maybe they got promised some 17 financial enhancement or positions down the 18 road, who knows. But they have greatly abused 19 their position and power and trust to the 20 people of this area. 21 The way the scientific achievements 22 are going, these large massive buildings and 23 equipment will soon just be needless the way 24 they're making -- according to the paper, 25 improvements in the use of the water and  25 1 electricity will be bunch of abandoned 2 buildings that aren't good for nothing. 3 There's no doors, no driveways or 4 nothing to them according to a real estate 5 friend. And I am really disappointed in 6 Mr. Gaughan and Welby for their anti ICE pro 7 bleeding heart stance for Biden's army of 8 illegal, sick, diseased criminal filth over 9 Americans. 10 It's over Americans, people. I 11 don't care how you put it. And in Saturday's 12 paper, the Justice Department is suing Harvard 13 again for their anti Semitic policies, Paige's 14 home away from home. It seems to me anybody 15 exposed to that trash year after year that some 16 of it rubbed off. 17 Candidate Paige really needs to 18 spend more time and concentrate her promotion 19 of Bidenization and Scrantonization of the 20 state. Every city, town, hamlet, village, 21 everything, whatever, we all need our 22 non-profits and tax exempt bars and restaurants 23 and especially her walkability plan statewise. 24 Real quick, I phoned the newspaper 25 last week to put an ad in. And I don't know  26 1 what they cost, but that wasn't the -- I got a 2 computer. It said leave your name and number. 3 That afternoon nobody phoned me. I phoned 4 again, I got the computer. The next day I 5 forgot. 6 The next day I think that was 7 Thursday, I phoned again. I get a computer to 8 leave a message what I wanted. And that day 9 nobody phoned me again. Here I'm trying to 10 give them money for an ad. I want to put an ad 11 in to have a wheelchair, my little French 12 bulldog is losing his use of his back legs. 13 What kind of paper is -- how do you 14 run a business when you won't answer a phone 15 call wanting to give you money? That's why I 16 said here time after time and refer to them as 17 a bunch of hacks running down there because 18 they just don't seem to have any interest in -- 19 I didn't pay for it for a while, not one person 20 came after me. 21 Finally, Rosie said get the paper 22 again after I don't know, maybe two weeks. As 23 far as I'm concerned Scranton's without a 24 paper. Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next is  27 1 Amy Cusick. 2 MS. CUSICK: Good evening, President 3 and members of Scranton City Council. First, I 4 would like to congratulate our newly elected 5 Council members. Thank you for stepping into 6 roles of service. 7 My name is Amy Cusick. I am a 8 resident of the City of Scranton. And I'm also 9 the founder and president of a nonprofit 10 Chris's Miracles from Heaven. I'm here tonight 11 not to advocate for a special issue or to 12 request your action, but to simply just 13 reintroduce to you who we are, share what we do 14 in the community, and continue to be -- have 15 that respectful open line of communication 16 moving forward. 17 Like many people in our community, 18 I've seen moments when families, children, and 19 even our first responders were in need of 20 immediate support that wasn't always readily 21 available to them. 22 I remember growing up and the fires 23 that would happen, the Salvation Army used to 24 have their canteen and go around and help the 25 firefighters. We don't have that anymore  28 1 locally. 2 Those moments stayed with me and 3 nearly three years ago, they led to me to start 4 Chris's Miracles from Heaven. Our mission is 5 straightforward but deeply important, to 6 provide community support when it is needed and 7 to also to become a strong advocate for our 8 first responders and our veterans. 9 Chris's Miracles from Heaven serves 10 Lackawanna County. And our focus is stepping 11 in during real world moments, often quickly and 12 behind the signs when help is needed the most. 13 And in just under two years, I am proud of what 14 we have been able to accomplish through 15 volunteers, donations, and strong community 16 support. 17 One of our most meaningful projects 18 was restoring the abandoned Washburn Street 19 cemetery, which I will remind you that I have 20 found out within the past year we have a fallen 21 police officer and a fallen firefighter also 22 buried at Washburn Street cemetery. 23 What was once an overlooked and 24 horrible looking space is now a place of 25 dignity and respect. That effort was about  29 1 more than just one cleanup. It was about 2 honoring the past, respecting the families, and 3 restoring pride in our community. 4 This past year for Christmas was the 5 most I've ever seen that cemetery decorated for 6 Christmas. And it just warmed my heart. 7 Another major focus of our work has been 8 supporting children and families. 9 Since our founding, we have helped 10 over 600 children in Lackawanna County during 11 the Christmas season. That was just last 12 Christmas. We ensure that they experience a 13 holiday filled of warmth, generosity and hope 14 that might not have been there if it wasn't for 15 us. 16 I've had families hug me, cry on my 17 shoulders. But now supporting our first 18 responders is also central to our mission as 19 well as our veterans. During local fires and 20 flooding events, we have provided water and 21 essential supplies directly to the first 22 responders in the field, sometimes short 23 notice, but simply help was needed. 24 In addition, following community 25 cleanups and our service projects, we made it a  30 1 point to donate any leftover food or snacks, 2 water, juice, iced tea, whatever it was to our 3 first responders, the police department and the 4 firefighters to ensure that nothing goes to 5 waste and that those serving our city feel 6 appreciated and supported. 7 These may seem like small acts, but 8 they reflect on just who we are, responsive, 9 community driven, and focused on taking care of 10 the people who take care of us on a daily 11 basis. While these accomplishes matters -- 12 while these accomplishes matter, what matters 13 most to us is the human impact behind them. 14 Our work is about showing up, 15 sometimes quietly, sometimes urgently, but 16 always with compassion, respect, and purpose. 17 I recognize the responsibility that City 18 Council carries. You are tasked with balancing 19 budgets, responding to residents, and shaping 20 the future of Scranton. 21 Our intention is not to complicate 22 your work in any way, shape, or form, but 23 rather to be a community partner and a resource 24 when it's appropriate. As we move in 2026 with 25 the new Council, my goal is simply to just  31 1 introduce myself early, express respect for the 2 work that you all do and let you know that 3 Chris's Miracles from Heaven is active. 4 We are engaged. And we're committed 5 to serving Scranton and all of Lackawanna 6 County. Thank you for your time this evening 7 and for your service to our city. I look 8 forward to getting to know you all better and 9 working together to continue to support the 10 people who call Scranton and Lackawanna County 11 home. Have a great evening. Thank you. 12 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 13 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'm sorry, Miss 14 Cusick, for those looking to be involved with 15 your organization if anyone is interested, do 16 you just mind explaining how they could get in 17 touch? 18 MS. CUSICK: Yeah, if anybody would 19 like to become involved in our organization, we 20 are on Facebook under Chris's Miracles from 21 Heaven. We update all of our events and, you 22 know, and our cleanups on there. They could 23 also e-mail us at Chris's Miracles from Heaven 24 at gmail dot com or our phone number, 25 570-862-0979.  32 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. 2 MS. CUSICK: You're welcome. Thank 3 you. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Next up 5 is Rik Little. 6 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik 7 Little. I've always been a project oriented 8 person. I've done all kinds of work, being a 9 foreman, contractors, general contractors, 10 foreman of that or landlord, just so many 11 different things. 12 And these are all, like, project 13 oriented things. You get the people together 14 to do the job, and you got bad people, you get 15 rid of them. But what has happened in 16 Scranton, as I've said before, is there is too 17 many demons, like, satanic demons. 18 And I really noticed it this week 19 talking to United Health Care because each day 20 I spent like 200, 300 minutes talking with 21 their robots and listening to their stupid song 22 and going from one thing to the other because I 23 was just trying to get food and, you know, and 24 their robots and their people say, oh, just 25 call 211 or, you know, or get to your local  33 1 government, just call 311. 2 So this goes way to the top. This 3 is international. It's communism. It's 4 globalism. It's been coming down the pike a 5 long time. And, you know, talking about pave 6 cuts and everything, you know, I mean, if 7 everybody in this city would write a letter, 8 you know, there's a crack in the sidewalk or in 9 the street, you know, which potentially could 10 kill somebody, you know, then when you go to 11 court, hey, it's documented, you know. 12 That's one way to do it. My idea, I 13 think there needs to be an enforcement. I 14 mean, you see all of these things, you know, we 15 support SPD and all of this stuff. But when I 16 start to try to watch the courts, the sheriffs 17 are, you can't watch the courts, you know. 18 It's just a rigamarole. 19 So there has to be enforcement 20 mechanism. And I think under -- for under like 21 about $185,000, Scranton could buy sort of 22 robocop terminator robot or something like 23 that, you know, and give them bamboo sticks and 24 watch these contractors when they're doing 25 their stuff and beat them when they're not  34 1 doing it right, you know, because I go to City 2 Market. 3 I see that sidewalk there, you know, 4 and the snow's on top of it. And then, you 5 know, when the snow melts, there's a big 6 pothole right in front. It's the same thing 7 all over and over, doing the same thing over 8 and over again. 9 And we're in that spot in the world 10 now where it's, you know, people are 11 watching -- they think they know what's going 12 on. But, you know, and they're going where did 13 this guy get this information, you know? 14 There's ways to get information, 15 but, you know, not from ABC News or Fox News or 16 anything or the Times-Tribune for sure. There 17 has to be pride in the work of the people of 18 Scranton. And I hear about this Pennoni or 19 something, you know, outside contractors. 20 That's the way it is with 21 everything, you know, people don't take pride. 22 You know, I know this guy that can do the job 23 good. Let him do it. You know, no, we don't 24 have time for that. We need a consulting 25 thing, you know, which costs 25,000 or  35 1 $250,000. 2 I look at the budget. Everything in 3 the budget is, you know, 2.5 million for this 4 street, for this street. And then it's a whole 5 grant process. That's not the way good 6 government works. I mean, they don't even 7 teach pave cutting I don't think in any of the 8 colleges. 9 They should have a pave cutting 10 course starting at Scranton High School, you 11 know. And they should hire people from 12 Scranton. That will make the tax base, you 13 know, they're talking about a golf course now. 14 It was owned by DeNaples. You know, it's 15 getting too crazy, you know. 16 It would be great if we had invested 17 in an enforcement robot. Once you make that 18 investment, you don't have to worry about 19 wages. You just have the robot go. He watches 20 the pave cutters. They do a crappy job, you 21 know, maybe he gives them a day warning, but 22 then he beats them with bamboo sticks or 23 something, you know? That will make it better. 24 Thank you. 25 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone  36 1 else like to address Council? 2 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. I 3 enjoyed the caucus tonight. But all of us have 4 suffered from bad repairs, pave cuts, potholes. 5 Multiple years utilities have come in here and 6 you've asked them questions, how do you repair 7 it? 8 And countless members of the 9 utilities have sat before this seat and told 10 you when it's done, we come back and we repair 11 it curb to curb. 12 Now, rather than looking at the 13 potholes which are incredibly obvious and 14 difficult not watch when you're driving because 15 there's so many of them and they're so 16 damaging, I'd like you to take a glance at the 17 pave cuts on the road. 18 Those square blocks that are all 19 over the city that none of them are curb to 20 curb, that none of them are repaired as the 21 representatives here say. On my block, I have 22 one that was put in three years ago. It's a 23 good pave patch. But it was never tarred 24 around the edges of it. 25 Eventually the water's going to go  37 1 in through the cuts. And there's going to be 2 issues there. There was a second company that 3 came in up the block who was doing the sewer 4 and the fire hydrants just to check them out. 5 They made two large pave cuts, one on the 6 right-hand side, one on the left-hand side. 7 And they made two squares on each 8 side of the roadway, didn't connect them, 9 didn't go across. But at least they properly 10 compacted them and properly sealed them. That 11 at least is an improvement over what I've seen. 12 A lot of the places in the city when you go 13 around, you could tell where the utilities are 14 because you're bouncing constantly on all of 15 these pave cuts. 16 You get the little dip that you used 17 to get -- have you ever went on Scranton -- on 18 the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you'd come up the 19 roads in Pittston and you'd be bouncing over. 20 And then when it said the Scranton Turnpike 21 starts here, you'd be on glass smooth highway. 22 We don't have that here. 23 Why don't we have restoration curb 24 to curb when they repeatedly say in here it's 25 curb to curb? I have a dip that's about that  38 1 deep (indicating) from where the water main 2 broke up our block. 3 They put in. They came in. They 4 compacted it once. And they're going to come 5 back and take care of it. And they spray 6 painted the road around it. But you still have 7 a dip that's about that deep that they never 8 come back and put any fill in. 9 I expect it to happen in April. And 10 I'll talk to you about it as it happens. But 11 there's a point when they don't come back 12 around to take a look to see how much it 13 settled. And all of a sudden it becomes a 14 gigantic dip in the roadway and sharp edges 15 along the edge of it where the road is 16 collapsed. 17 Moving on, of course, we don't have 18 combined data in the city. Anytime you go 19 together and you put reports together, it 20 becomes available through a right to know. One 21 of the biggest defenses that this 22 administration has used for people asking right 23 to knows is we don't collect it and collate it 24 in that manner so we're not required to make it 25 in the format that you desire, therefore, you  39 1 don't get the right to know information. 2 So there's direct intent of the city 3 not to put information together to make it 4 collectible and be able to analyze it, because 5 to do so makes it available for right to know. 6 And they constantly deny people for that 7 reason. 8 7-A, the request for the purchase of 9 police ]technology, Dr. Rothchild, cameras are 10 on there again. And it specifically says in 11 there public sharing of data that they are 12 looking for data sharing. I've sent you the 13 reports on it and it's a shame that if no one's 14 looked at it that they haven't because it's an 15 issue that the collection of data among private 16 companies to surveil your own citizens isn't 17 being addressed. 18 And last, we have the introduction 19 of 5-D. Why does it need to be fast tracked? 20 There are questions I had on it such as it says 21 16 hours. What about the CDL laws that don't 22 allow that? What about the city's insurance 23 rate to that because if they drive 16 hours and 24 they're negligent, is the city responsibile? 25 How's the insurance going to handle that?  40 1 I understand with small trucks 2 that's different. And we've all worked -- 3 we've all done double shifts. But when we're 4 talking about CDL giant plows, there needs to 5 be less than 16 hours as it's mandated to be 6 less. Thank you. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 8 else like to address Council? All right. 9 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 10 MOTIONS. 11 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 12 have any motions or comments tonight? 13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. First, I 14 just want to start off by addressing the pave 15 cut discussions that we've had tonight. I did 16 appreciate Pennoni coming in this evening as 17 well as the BA for explaining what they're 18 currently doing to address the pave cuts and to 19 better track them. 20 I am glad that since I've been on 21 Council that we have made changes to the pave 22 cut legislation to try to make it better. But, 23 you know, it's become obvious that there is 24 further adjustments needed and even more so 25 that we could really effectively get the  41 1 utility companies to fix the cuts. 2 I know it's been an issue since 3 we've been on Council. And I feel it as well. 4 And, you know, I drive around the city all the 5 time and it's hard to keep track of potholes on 6 which street or, you know, which ones are pave 7 cuts or which utility company might have done 8 it. 9 I, you know, would encourage people 10 to continue to contact through 311 as well as 11 Council and even during the caucus, we were 12 receiving e-mails from people with complaints 13 about their areas in the city that the roads 14 need to be addressed. 15 So by doing that then hopefully we 16 could get the proper person out to inspect it 17 or get our DPW if it's something that the city 18 has to take care of. 19 I also wanted to bring up there were 20 a few questions that I had asked about the 21 demolition list last week and there was some 22 additional questions that I sent the 23 administration to and I just wanted to provide 24 the responses that I had on that. 25 The first one was what was the  42 1 status from the previously provided demolition 2 list from 2025 which the properties were 3 demolished and will the remaining properties be 4 placed on the 2026 list? Twenty-one properties 5 have been demolished since January 1st of 2025. 6 Any properties from the 2025 list 7 that have not yet been demolished will carry 8 over to the 2026 list. And then they did 9 include a list of the 21 properties. I won't 10 go through all of those right now. 11 And then I asked if there was a 12 committee responsible for determining if a 13 property meets the standards for a demo and 14 what about to discuss condemned properties 15 because in the past I believe we have had such 16 a committee through the city and city employees 17 on it. 18 And I was informed that the city 19 uses a third party engineering firm Barry Isett 20 and Associates to determine whether a property 21 is appropriate for demolition. They also 22 assess the overall level of safety concerns and 23 determine when an emergency demo is necessary. 24 Properties are condemned by the 25 housing inspectors under the supervision of  43 1 either Andrew Sunday or Tom Oleski, the city's 2 economic development director, code enforcement 3 director, and code enforcement manager work 4 with Barry Isett to determine the severity of 5 the condemned properties and choose the order 6 in which properties should be demolished. 7 Demolitions occur in rounds one, two, and three 8 throughout the year. 9 And I asked what was the status of 10 condemned properties throughout the city. 11 Properties are added to and removed from the 12 condemnation list on a regular basis. As of 13 today, there are 225 condemned properties in 14 the city. 15 After condemnation, a property owner 16 does have the right to file an appeal with the 17 Housing Appeals Board. And several properties 18 are heard by the board each month. A property 19 must be condemned for at least one full year 20 with no improvements before it is considered 21 for demolition. 22 And then I asked how the properties 23 are being prioritized for demo. They are in 24 the process of determining which properties 25 will be part of Phase 1 for 2026 demolitions.  44 1 And they anticipate having the list of Phase 1 2 properties by May 1st. 3 And I also asked how much money was 4 budgeted towards demos for this year, 2026. 5 And I received that there's $175,000 budgeted 6 for city funded demolitions. Additionally, 7 they have the same in match basically $174,986 8 in the 2026 CDBG demolition funding through 9 Housing and Urban Development. So those were 10 all the responses I received on there. 11 I felt that would be helpful for the 12 public to know going, especially going into 13 the spring season. And then as demolitions 14 begin or if they are wondering about condemned 15 properties and their statuses. And then I did 16 want to request, Mr. Voldenberg, if you could 17 contact SPD. 18 I brought this up several weeks ago. 19 I've brought it up in the past too. But a 20 citizen had complained about it. So on 21 Harrison Avenue, the vehicles that are being 22 parked on the sidewalk and really blocking the 23 sidewalk and forcing people to walk in the 24 street unsafely along that route as a result. 25 I had asked if they could go there  45 1 and, you know, ticket the vehicles, if 2 appropriate. I was wondering what the status 3 was on that if there were tickets issued, if 4 so, how many, if they've returned for 5 additional inspection and enforcement. 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get a report, 7 Dr. Rothchild. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I 9 appreciate it. That's all that I have. 10 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 11 Mr. Sean McAndrew, do you have any motions or 12 comments? 13 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 14 few. Another update on the Fidelity inspection 15 report, I probably sound like a broken record 16 with it. But after -- a few days after the 17 meeting I contacted by Attorney Gilbride. And 18 I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, 19 Attorney Gilbride, you spoke with the legal 20 team for the city. 21 And they said the confidential 22 marking on that document was an oversight. So 23 and now we could show it to anybody we want; is 24 that correct? 25 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's correct.  46 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. So, 2 Mr. Voldenberg, can we have that put on the 3 website so the residents could see some of the 4 fixes that need to be with the building for the 5 next -- it's a nice breakdown I'm telling you, 6 like, a summary of what needs to be done 7 immediately in the next two to three years and 8 then five years and beyond, whether it's roof 9 repairs, ADA bathroom compliance. 10 It's nice a summary of it. I wish 11 we had more of the actual inspection, but at 12 least we have something and we're able to put 13 that on the website for everybody to see. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 15 it. 16 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thank you. 17 Next, I did ask some questions last week that 18 we received some answers. First was the 320 19 Mulberry Street digital billboard. I asked for 20 a copy of the original permits taken for the 21 original -- the initial billboard installation. 22 The response we got back, the 23 signed -- the signed permit application 24 engineering plans and issued permits from 2008 25 are attached as supplemental documents. The  47 1 new matter was resolved by insurance of -- via 2 permit. The city did not make any monetary 3 payments to the plaintiff, which is great to 4 hear. 5 But we still want to know why there 6 was a settlement. Last week, two weeks ago Mr. 7 Gilbride -- or Attorney Gilbride asked. We 8 didn't get an answer. I asked Attorney 9 Gilbride again to ask why was -- what was 10 involved with the settlement, why did we 11 settle. 12 And also, the Times reported that it 13 was due to the -- administration not bringing 14 down the HARB ruling within 45 days to the 15 prior Council for voting on it. Mr. Gilbride, 16 did you get any other answer on that or -- 17 ATTY. GILBRIDE: The other I 18 received and if you had the opportunity to 19 review the original permits that were issued in 20 2008, those permits granted an illuminated 21 billboard. 22 And that was the reason that the 23 permit was granted because that by virtue of 24 those permits being issued, they were allowed 25 that type of billboard.  48 1 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay, so it had 2 nothing to do with the 45 days? 3 ATTY. GILBRIDE: That's what I'm 4 told. And if you look at the permits, you'll 5 see it does say illuminated billboard. 6 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay, 7 interesting. Next, regarding the same issue, I 8 did get a copy of the permits. Now, my 9 question is and, Mr. Voldenberg, if we can set 10 up some time maybe next week or maybe the end 11 of this week with Mr. Oleski and the permit 12 department or the LIPS Department, the 13 documents I received from 2008 were permits 14 that didn't match the documents somebody gave 15 me that they did a right to know request 16 regarding the same issue. 17 So I kind of want to sit down with 18 him and see which document is correct. Is it 19 the permits that I received or is it the 20 permit -- the person who brought this issue to 21 me up who got a right to know. I don't know 22 why there's a difference. 23 But hopefully he could, you know, 24 give us some info and hopefully it's not an 25 oversight. But it's something I could go back  49 1 relay to everybody. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll schedule a 3 meeting. 4 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. Thank 5 you. Next, homeless camps, we did ask the city 6 are they going to continue removing the camps 7 around the schools heritage -- and the Heritage 8 Trail or is this just like a one-time spring 9 cleanup? 10 The response we got from the city 11 was the police department continuously 12 investigates trespassing incidents in and 13 around the Lackawanna River corridor which 14 includes the Heritage Trail and Scranton High. 15 Now, again, my question is -- I 16 guess the answer is that will be happening all 17 year. But talking to some DPW members, they do 18 cleanups around the Iron Furnaces and around 19 the U. So again, has there any -- any other 20 camps been cleaned up or is it just strictly to 21 the Heritage Trail and the schools because it's 22 not matching up what I'm being told by the 23 workers. 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask them, sir. 25 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Thank you. And  50 1 then finally, you know, watching Council the 2 last few years and paying attention, I know 3 background checks was an issue, you know, are 4 we, you know, when we're hiring people are 5 background checks being done, are we putting 6 them on boards. 7 So I just want to ask, I guess, for 8 being a new Council member, when somebody is 9 getting hired or they're getting put a on board 10 or an authority like the Sewer Authority or the 11 Housing Authority, are they running background 12 checks before they submit -- or hire or they 13 submit people down for us to vote? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 15 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Okay. That's 16 all I have. I hope everybody has a great week. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Mark 18 McAndrew, any motions or comments? 19 MR. MARK MCANDREW: I got a couple. 20 Sorry, so actually during caucus I received an 21 e-mail about potholes. So, you know, and this 22 resident informed me that on Green Ridge Street 23 and Sanderson Avenue, there is very, very large 24 potholes. 25 I don't know if -- to differentiate  51 1 between pave cuts or potholes. So I'm assuming 2 they're potholes. Can you please alert city's 3 administration, you know, let's get on these 4 and take care of them? 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 6 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Also, from the 7 same resident, the intersections of Sanderson 8 and Delaware and Delaware and Dickson, drivers 9 aren't utilizing the stop signs or they're 10 driving right through them. It's becoming a 11 huge safety issue there. So could you please 12 alert the Scranton Police Department about them 13 intersections? 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 15 McAndrew. 16 MR. MARK MCANDREW: Also, a few 17 weeks ago I asked about -- there was a light 18 request right off Main Avenue in Rounds Wood 19 Court. I know I mentioned it before caucus. 20 But I just want to put it out there and see 21 where we're at with that if we got any response 22 or if you could resend it. 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll check that on 24 that also. 25 MR. MARK MCANDREW: All right.  52 1 That's all I have. Thank you. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. 3 Flynn, do you have any motions or comments? 4 MR. FLYNN: Yeah, just a few. Thank 5 you. So last week I had asked about after Mr. 6 McAndrew had talked about the homeless 7 encampments being taken down, was the police or 8 the DPW giving out services to these 9 individuals or telling them a place to go to 10 get some services as their homes are being 11 taken from them at that moment. 12 And the response I received was that 13 consistent direction to services is provided by 14 Scranton Police Department and its nonprofit 15 partners that routinely engage with the 16 homeless population. 17 So, Mr. Voldenberg, just to follow 18 up on that, I would just like to know what 19 services are the police department mapping 20 these individuals to? Do they have a list that 21 they say or is it just go to CIC and figure out 22 some services you may need there? 23 Are they mapping them to specific 24 services based on the individual? Is it 25 individualized at all? It's great to hear that  53 1 consistent direction of services is happening. 2 I'd like to get a little deeper in the weeds on 3 that and see what services exactly the police 4 department is mapping these individuals to. 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out to 6 them. 7 MR. FLYNN: That's all I have on 8 questions. And then, you know, I just wanted 9 to acknowledge the DPW contract, you know, the 10 city and the union have reached that agreement, 11 long overdue. I'm glad to see both sides come 12 together to get this finalized. 13 The men and women of our DPW perform 14 critical work every day, work that happens 15 behind the scenes plays a major role keeping 16 our city functioning day in and day out. So I 17 appreciate the efforts to bring these 18 negotiations to a conclusion. 19 Hopeful this agreement provides the 20 stability and recognition our DPW workforce 21 deserves and just happy to vote tonight on 22 approving this contract and excited for those 23 workers for our DPW union who are finally 24 getting that contract. That's all I have. 25 Thank you.  54 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I have a 2 few comments tonight as well. I was happy that 3 Pennoni was here for a caucus tonight. I think 4 it was informative. We heard a lot. I hope 5 the citizens and individuals in the audience 6 and at home got a lot of information. 7 What I gathered from it is we do 8 have some improvements that need to be made. 9 Going back as far as 2020 when I met with the 10 DPW Director at the time, some of these were 11 suggestions I had made at that time about 12 strengthening our ordinance. 13 At the time I was told we didn't 14 need to strengthen our ordinance. From then 15 until now, we've had several directors and 16 interim directors and individuals come and go. 17 But I do look forward to seeing the closeout 18 for 2025. 19 We have -- from what we heard 20 tonight, we have over 600 pave cuts that are 21 going to be closed out in the next month or so. 22 So I can't wait to see that work completed and 23 to get that report when it's done. 24 When it comes to Mr. Flynn and Mr. 25 McAndrew just spoke about the homeless, if we  55 1 could reach out to the administration and see 2 do we know if there's a number -- if there's 3 any kind of tracking that's been done, do we 4 know of the number of homeless that are in our 5 city? 6 I've asked that question several 7 times through a couple different agencies, 8 maybe Catholic Social Services has that number. 9 But I would just like to see if our population 10 is increasing or decreasing or remaining the 11 same. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 13 it. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 15 Miss Hodowanitz asked tonight -- I think me and 16 her think very similar on financial issues. 17 The number that you were looking for for 2026, 18 we'll be getting that pretty soon. And it's 19 going to definitely be prior to July. 20 I also have some questions coming up 21 on some of the legislation as well in the same 22 line of questioning that you had. I also am 23 happy to hear DPW has a contract. I'm glad 24 that both sides came together to get that 25 contract completed. It's long overdue as was  56 1 stated before, so glad to get that done 2 tonight. 3 And then the last thing I'm going to 4 say is, I've asked a couple of times this year 5 but I'm going to continue. I want to keep it 6 on the administration's radar if we could just 7 ask for the PEL projection again. 8 I know they said it's coming soon. 9 But when it comes to our city finances and some 10 of the changing numbers that we're going to see 11 for 2026 to prepare for the budget for 2027 if 12 they could just get that PEL projection over to 13 us as soon as they get it. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll reach out for 15 that information. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 17 The last thing I'm going to say, which I almost 18 forgot, I did get an update on Meadow Brook. 19 So I had asked about again the Meadow Brook 20 Project in Green Ridge, the number of easements 21 that have been secured and if there's 22 additional claims. 23 So at this point in time we got the 24 update that 32 easement agreements have been 25 secured. And there is 12 outstanding. And  57 1 they've had no legal claims up to this point in 2 time. So we're waiting on that additional 12 3 before that work could begin. I hope to see 4 those easements secured soon. 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
