First, I 20 want to say again that on this Monday in 21 observance of Memorial Day, garbage and 22 recycling will not be picked up. Department of 23 Public Works will be closed. So garbage and 24 recycling will be one day behind. 25 Also want to wish our Department of  5 1 Public Works a happy Public Works Week, 2 celebrate all that they do for our community, 3 rain, shine, cold, hot, whatever. They're out 4 there. They're the backbone that keeps our 5 city moving, keeps our parks beautiful. And I 6 just want to wish them a happy DPW Week. 7 Also, want to just wish everyone a 8 happy Memorial Day and Memorial Day weekend. 9 Enjoy time with your family and friends and 10 also take a moment to really soak in what that 11 day is about and how important it is for us. 12 And then just congratulations to 13 anyone who won their election on Tuesday, 14 including my colleagues Dr. Rothchild and 15 Council President Schuster, congratulations, 16 anyone who won. 17 But also, you know, anyone who put 18 their name on the ballot and came up short. 19 It's a tough thing to put your name out there 20 to, you know, I came up on the losing end of an 21 election once myself. And it's -- it hurts. 22 And it's tough, but just keep on moving 23 forward. 24 It's an amazing thing to put 25 yourself in a position to be put out there and  6 1 to have people say what they're going to say 2 about you and all of above. So just to put 3 your name on the ballot is a remarkable feet. 4 So to everyone who won, 5 congratulations. To anyone who put their name 6 on the ballot and lost, also congratulations to 7 you for doing that. So that's all I have. 8 Thank you. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Any other 10 Council members have any announcements? 11 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I also 12 want to wish everybody a happy and safe 13 Memorial Day weekend. And also, I know this is 14 the week of Public Works. So thank you to our 15 men and women of the DPW Department that go 16 above and beyond every day in all the elements. 17 So thank you for all you do. And I hope 18 everybody has a safe happy holiday weekend. 19 DR. ROTHCHILD: I also want to thank 20 our DPW Department for all that they do. And I 21 also wanted to wish a happy Shavuot to those in 22 the Jewish community who celebrate. And this 23 Memorial Day weekend too where that holiday 24 coincides, you know, that we remember our 25 fallen heros.  7 1 And I know it's a conversation that 2 I started early with my family and with my 3 children to let them know what that day is 4 about. And for us to remember the people who 5 fought for -- for us and for our country. So 6 that's what I'll be thinking about weekend. 7 That's all. Thank you. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 9 There's nothing I could say that my colleagues 10 haven't already said, happy Memorial Day to 11 everyone and enjoy your weekend and happy 12 Public Works Week to our DPW. 13 One announcement I do have is that 14 Mr. Mark McAndrew couldn't be here tonight. He 15 has a minor injury that he's recovering from. 16 Moving on. 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 18 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Our first speaker 20 tonight is Ron Ellman. 21 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening. I was 22 only first one other time the past 50, 75 years 23 I've been coming up here years ago. All right. 24 You know, I don't know how many of 25 you guys ever spent two hours in a sports bar.  8 1 But it is a good way to hear what the men on 2 the street has to say. In politics, I found 3 out most of them just don't care nothing about 4 local elections. 5 They -- they did -- they did have 6 some adversities about the city and Cognetti 7 though. But since I was an outsider, I didn't 8 voice my opinion about her antics. 9 In sports, a dozen men had about 13 10 different opinions. The one that I didn't 11 comment on, but the one that certainly I agree 12 with is why do these stations have capable men 13 that use these young girls that have to sit 14 there shout and yell to be heard? That gives 15 them an unpleasant voice. 16 Girls don't belong giving men's 17 football scores. I certainly agree with that. 18 One of them asked me about my water bill when 19 they were talking about water bills. And I've 20 always felt if there wasn't investors, the bill 21 for utilities would be half as much. 22 But the PUC's under -- all the 23 utility's controls anyway. There was some 24 negativity about John Walsh being on every 8, 25 10 minutes year in and year out. But by then  9 1 it was time for someone to pick me up and put 2 me out the door. 3 So let me tell you what happened. I 4 was sitting in my little convertible at 5 Gerrity's because Rosie doesn't let -- she 6 doesn't want to acknowledge she knows me. She 7 doesn't let me follow her around the store. 8 And there was this tremendous bang on my 9 convertible top. 10 Of all things, I looked on the 11 passenger side and put the window down. It was 12 this old bag that hit me with her cane or 13 umbrella last year at the Dollar Tree for being 14 adverse about the city politics. This time she 15 shouted. You could hear her down in 16 Harrisburg. 17 She said that Cognetti and Welby 18 should sue me for slander and that I belong in 19 jail. But before I could get my potty mouth 20 engaged, she left. Now, let me -- let me say 21 something to you for the city. 22 In the 60s, I cleaned a swimming 23 pool for Robert Williams Prescott who was 24 President of the Flying Tigers Airlines at that 25 time. And he was a real -- a real hero. I  10 1 mean, he just -- he has a list of things, it's 2 unbelievable -- accomplishments from the Flying 3 Tigers. 4 One day since I had a truck he asked 5 me if I wanted some things from the war that he 6 cleaned out his other office down at the 7 airport. So I took them and I sold most of 8 them at the -- then, they had a big flea market 9 in the drive-in in those days. 10 And I kept a couple 48 star flags. 11 And one of them -- one of them is like you hang 12 from a huge -- and I have some others that 13 flew -- they flew over their airport in China 14 before World War II he told me. 15 And I'd like to donate them if the 16 city or the Historical Society or American 17 Legion or somebody would want them to keep. I 18 donate some stuff to Harrisburg for -- and 19 they sold it at the car museum. 20 I don't know. I never seen a 48 21 star flag anywhere. So I think they would have 22 some rarity. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: We'll get your 24 contact. 25 MR. ELLMAN: Yes, I'd like to -- I  11 1 don't want any money. I'd like to donate it. 2 I also have a real confederate flag the same 3 size, but can't have that. 4 MR. SCHUSTER: We'll get your 5 contact. 6 MR. ELLMAN: I'll going to donate it 7 down to the confederacy some day. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 9 MR. ELLMAN: You all know how to get 10 in touch with me if anybody -- I mean, like a 11 legal organization wants it and will keep it. 12 Thank you. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Our next 14 speaker is Patrick McLane. 15 MR. MCLANE: Good evening. My name 16 is Patrick McLane. I'm an engineer with KSG 17 Engineers located in the City of Scranton. I'm 18 here tonight representing Delray Properties, 19 which has a conditionally approved through the 20 Scranton Planning Commission land development 21 for a new 24 unit apartment building, a dual 22 building apartment complex located on Davis 23 Street. 24 It's at the intersection of Davis 25 Street, Cedar Avenue, Crane and Murphy Court.  12 1 I just want to touch base. I wanted to come 2 and present myself and see if you have any 3 questions. 4 The one remaining condition on 5 this -- on this development provided by the 6 City Planning Commission is that the city 7 engineer recommended that Cedar Avenue be made 8 one way because it is tight, especially on 9 Sundays with a church right across the street. 10 I just want to come see if I can 11 answer any questions, see if there's anything I 12 could do to help present the project and 13 hopefully move us towards approval. And then 14 they could start the construction on the 15 project. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: I didn't personally 17 have any questions. Did anyone else have any 18 questions? Yeah, we did get some -- we had 19 the ex-city engineer came in, had some valid 20 concerns. We got some of that answered. The 21 administration came back to us with some of the 22 actions that they were going to take. 23 We're actually just waiting on the 24 administration to let us know if they're going 25 to amend that legislation to reflect those  13 1 changes that they said. So we were just 2 waiting on the administration before we brought 3 it back to our agenda. 4 MR. MCLANE: Okay, great. So it 5 seems like it might be moving forward and 6 hopefully have approval soon and start 7 construction. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, we've had some 9 correspondence go out to them. But we haven't 10 had an answer back yet. So we're just waiting 11 on that. And then we'll be bringing it back. 12 MR. MCLANE: Great. And I'm 13 available in the City of Scranton. My contact 14 information is on all our applications. So 15 please call me if there's anything I can help 16 with, any answers I could provide. 17 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank you 18 very much. 19 MR. MCLANE: Okay. Thank you for 20 your time. 21 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Is there 22 anyone else that would like to address 23 council? 24 MS. KOLOSKI: Good evening, 25 everyone, Doris Koloski, Scranton resident. I  14 1 want to congratulate you guys for winning your 2 delegates. Okay, so I want to talk about 3 tonight one of the things is 421 Colfax Avenue. 4 I mentioned it about the rear people dumping 5 garbage. It's all overgrown vegetation. And 6 the front of the house is also with all the 7 rain we had grown all the way up. 8 I don't know who was cutting it 9 before besides the volunteers Frenchy and Jerry 10 Smurl and his group had cut it down a few times 11 in the front. But it's really, really growing 12 wild again. That also has a sign on the door. 13 All the other signs are off the door. 14 One sign is on it that says 15 Sheriff's sale. So I'm a little confused if 16 it's up for Sheriff's sale and how could it be 17 up for Sheriff's sale if it's got litigation 18 pending for -- that's ongoing and that's why it 19 couldn't be torn down. 20 So I'm just confused. It's a pain 21 in the neck. Okay, I want to announce that on 22 June 20th at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the 5th annual 23 Electric City Flower Show at Nay Aug Park is 24 free entry to the museum with live music, 25 vendors, gardening tips and food trucks.  15 1 June 14th, there's a bingo and 2 basket at Nay Aug Park Community Room, which 3 is the old snack bar. It's sponsored by the 4 Hill Neighborhood Association. The doors open 5 at 12 p.m. The first game is at 1 p.m. 6 There is limited seating. So they 7 suggest to make reservations. Walk-ins are 8 welcome if available seats. There is no limit 9 for the basket raffle. The kids are welcome 10 for bingo if they're 14 and up accompanied by 11 adult. 12 The fee is $20 for members of the 13 Hill Neighborhood and 25 for nonmembers. 14 Admission is free to the basket raffle. 15 Reservations can be made by text to 16 272-772-9210 or e-mail HNAScranton@gmail.com. 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Doris, will 18 those -- will those funds be going to the HNA? 19 Is what they're -- 20 MS. KOLOSKI: I'm assuming that's 21 what it's for. I assuming it's a fundraiser 22 for them. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 24 MS. KOLOSKI: I was very upset 25 when -- let me address this first. I don't  16 1 feel that anyone who gets paid by taxpayers of 2 Scranton should hold a job in the City of 3 Scranton if they don't live there if they're 4 not paying taxes to Scranton. 5 I've always felt that way only 6 because I figure they have no incentive to not 7 ask for more and go out on strike because they 8 have no skin in the game. They're not going to 9 be paying for it anyway. 10 With that said, I was very 11 disappointed that the board didn't vote to 12 approve Sam as a Nay Aug Park volunteer who 13 does not get paid from the city. Because the 14 city has been letting people work here, get 15 paid with our taxes that don't live in the city 16 under the fact that they say we need to get the 17 best people in so we have to go out of the 18 city. 19 That is somebody who volunteers. 20 He's at the park every single day because I'm 21 at the park every single day. He works his 22 tush off up at the park for everybody. And if 23 he said -- if you're letting people work from 24 out of the city with the tax paid dollars, then 25 you should have made -- then I feel you should  17 1 make an exception for someone who is giving 2 free work who would actually show up for all 3 the meetings and actually be a worker. 4 The SMRA Board is a very hardworking 5 board. So when people want to go on it, it's 6 not just one of these boards that people go on 7 to say I'm on a board. So you need -- the more 8 people that are willing to work on the board. 9 And I know that we all want younger people in. 10 But what happens is when you get a 11 younger person, they end up resigning because 12 if they have children and jobs, they volunteer 13 for their kids' activities. Anyone that has 14 kids knows. I know when my kid were little, 15 all the volunteer work I did was for their swim 16 team, little league, anything that the children 17 were involved with. That's why it's so hard to 18 get young people in. 19 And, of course, we all want them 20 because they're the future. But I just wanted 21 to make my feelings known because I was very 22 upset with it mainly because you're already 23 letting people work from out of the city and 24 then they're getting paid. And this isn't 25 even getting paid. So that's my say.  18 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 2 MS. KOLOSKI: Have a good night. 3 MR. FLYNN: Doris, just real quickly 4 I just want to say -- first of all, on the 5 employment piece, that had nothing to do with 6 Council. That is not part of Council's 7 purview. That was the administration and the 8 unions. 9 MS. KOLOSKI: I'm not hearing you. 10 MR. FLYNN: Sorry, I'm saying on the 11 employment piece, that happened with the 12 administration and the unions through contract 13 negotiations. That has nothing to do with 14 Council. Council had no part in anything to 15 say where someone could live. That was through 16 contract negotiations with the unions. 17 MS. KOLOSKI: I know that you don't 18 have -- that that's not -- I've been to enough 19 meetings where I've seen it discussed about 20 somebody from Parks and Rec that was hired that 21 was supposed to move back into the city and 22 didn't move back into the city. 23 I might not have some of that 24 exactly what it is not correct because who 25 remembers all of that. What I'm just saying is  19 1 that if you're letting people -- I don't mean 2 you personally, but if the city is letting 3 people come from out of the city and work a 4 paying job where our taxes are paying them and 5 they have no incentive to keep our taxes lower 6 because they don't live here. 7 They're not paying them. Then you 8 could -- then they should have let somebody 9 that was volunteering free time out of the city 10 to come in and give his time free on that 11 board. That's just my opinion. Thank you. 12 MR. FLYNN: Appreciate it. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Anyone 14 else like to address Council? 15 MR. MANCINI: Mike Mancini, 16 Scranton. Thank you, Council President 17 Schuster. Good evening, Council, and the good 18 people of Scranton. As I'm speaking tonight, 19 Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from Pack 50, St. 20 Ann's along with the VFW 3451 are replacing 21 flags at the Washburn Street Cemetery. 22 Christmas Miracles From Heaven will 23 host its annual Memorial Day ceremony on 24 Monday. The start time is 1 p.m. We ask that 25 you arrive at least a half hour early. We will  20 1 have a special guest speaker, many veterans, 2 and a 21 gun salute. 3 We also have a walk through the 4 cemetery afterwards to show how much progress 5 that we have proudly accomplished in the last 6 two years. We have close to 17,000 laid to 7 rest, including victims from the Avondale Mine 8 Fire, a police officer, and a firefighter who 9 perished while on duty, historic Irish and 10 Welsh section, a fascinating woman who lived to 11 be 112 years old known worldwide in the 1700s, 12 a former president's father-in-law, many 13 veterans, not just in our two dedicated 14 sections but also throughout the almost 25 15 acres. 16 The public is invited. I donate my 17 time at the cemetery out of respect for 18 veterans and families who have loved ones laid 19 to rest. On Davis Street where my son is, the 20 cemetery is in very well condition. He passed 21 away six years ago today. I miss him so very 22 much. 23 Words cannot describe what it feels 24 like to go through the rest of my life without 25 him. Over the years I have stressed the  21 1 importance of safety in every neighborhood. I 2 mentioned the change of police testing, 3 changing the structure of our police 4 department, nature and frequency of the 5 heightened 911 calls, and the arrogance of the 6 police chief when I asked why there were no 7 prosecutions in Scranton related to the 8 unwanted opioid related deaths. 9 He told me they all have burner 10 phones. Bullshit. And Council asked why I 11 don't speak with the police chief about my 12 concerns, his arrogance prevents that. I've 13 told his Council in the past, I will bring it 14 up once again. 15 How many more must pass away from 16 opioid-related deaths before it receives 17 Council's attention? Getting that knock on 18 your door is the worst feeling in the world. 19 We have an amazing district attorney who will 20 prosecute any law-breaking individuals. 21 The problem is, they're not getting 22 those cases. I blame the arrogance of the 23 police chief and the structural changes. Do 24 not want to hear from any Council member the 25 excuse that you spoke with a veteran police  22 1 officer about the changes, and they are okay. 2 They are not. A pill press and 3 enough fentanyl to kill every individual here 4 in Lackawanna County and a pill press were 5 found in two separate incidents. What do we 6 not know about? Tonight, I ask this Council to 7 prove its worth. 8 Either be a champion of safety or 9 swing at balls from a tee. And a non-answer 10 shows that you were not meant for this and do 11 not belong. I laid it out for each one of you. 12 I have three questions that require 13 your immediate attention and don't give me the 14 BS that other cities are going through the same 15 thing to zero opioid-related death prosecutions 16 by the Scranton Police Department in the last 17 five years. Does that concern you? 18 Number two, do you think that the 19 overall safety within city limits has changed 20 for the better, the worse, or the same in the 21 last five years? 22 Number three, do you think that the 23 police department needs a study to determine 24 proper structure allowing our brave officers to 25 safely patrol our neighborhoods? We do have  23 1 crime in Scranton. It's getting worse. It 2 will be a crime if Council cares less about our 3 safety. 4 God bless our veterans, our police 5 officers, our amazing DPW employees, our first 6 responders and the good people of Scranton. 7 Have a wonderful holiday. Good evening. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 9 anyone else like to address council? 10 MR. COYNE: Good evening, Council, 11 Tom Coyne, Minooka. What I just handed you are 12 pictures from the 3100 block of Cedar Avenue, 13 the one that's up for a change and was talked 14 about by the gentleman in the audience tonight. 15 Roughly five or six months ago 16 someone applied for a bed and breakfast two 17 blocks down for -- from that location. They 18 were denied because it did not fit the 19 standards of the neighborhood because back in 20 there it's a single-family neighborhood, single 21 house dwelling and has been forever. 22 The photos you have there are taken 23 on multiple days, Monday, May 4th at 7:44 p.m., 24 Wednesday, May 6th at 2:36 p.m., and Sunday, 25 May 16th at 3:41 p.m. As you can see from  24 1 those pictures, there are no cars on the street 2 on either side. 3 The majority of the time, the street 4 has no parking on it. When there's a church 5 picnic or directly around the church services, 6 sometimes that does get filled up on the one 7 side. 8 And I would not be adverse to having 9 one side on the eastbound side as no parking. 10 But looking at the traffic flow on that block, 11 I do not understand why the builder would be 12 obligated to have that a one way street. 13 It makes absolutely no sense when 14 multiple times you can pass it and there are 15 nothing -- there is nothing parked on that 16 block any side because where he is constructing 17 his building, all of the houses that were there 18 beforehand are destroyed. 19 They're gone. One remains and the 20 person who lives there parks in their driveway. 21 So I see no logical reason why we would change 22 a neighborhood's traffic pattern, especially 23 when it has a negative effect to the 24 neighborhood, both in the wintertime because of 25 the hills and because of putting traffic into  25 1 smaller streets that have children and families 2 in them. 3 It's just not logical. And the 4 other one pushes up to lack -- up to Birney 5 Avenue. And the corner there has an 6 obstruction by the -- by the shrubs where you 7 cannot even see oncoming traffic. 8 I think it's a poor plan to force 9 them to go one way. And I have no problem with 10 them being there. I just think the plan that 11 was put in place and the mandate needs to be 12 stricken from it. Why did the city -- why did 13 the city do the traffic study? 14 I figured the builder should have 15 because part of the reason why is when the 16 builder does a traffic study, then it comes in, 17 and the city can have their people review it. 18 Who's going to audit the city's traffic study, 19 the city itself? The same people? 20 Doesn't seem like there's much of a 21 check and balance there. The Homeless Task 22 Force was put forth that it was instrumental in 23 the winter shelter and getting it back in 24 operation. If that was so, why wasn't it a 25 public meeting if it was a decisionmaking body  26 1 that the Mayor runs making a decision as 2 required by law? 3 Citizens addressing -- we as 4 citizens addressed the Keystone Mission and 5 ARPA funds and money grants given. 6 Wilkes-Barre did a clawback. We did nothing. 7 We, as citizens, protested it here. And the 8 movement came when the Keystone Mission exited 9 on June 17th of 2025. 10 Yet the Mayor and the task force did 11 nothing until the code blue was already in 12 effect. I was asked beforehand to provide 13 clarification on the gift cards I sent by 14 e-mail, which you may or may not have received. 15 The printouts from the minutes of the meeting 16 back in, I think, July of -- either June 17th 17 of 2024 or -- I forget what the date is. 18 But in there it was 7-D, 19 consideration by the Committee on Community 20 Development accepting a donation in the amount 21 of $5,000 in the form of 200 gift cards valued 22 at $25 for 25 cents for the program. Yet, the 23 city's response says we have 65 -- 63 left from 24 the initial 75 we started with. 25 Twelve gift cards have been passed  27 1 out to six households because they're giving 2 out two to the same residents. The cards' 3 value at $25 is $1,875. There's a shortage of 4 125 gift cards. 5 And where did the $3,125 go into? 6 And who decided to -- to double up Gerrity's 7 donation when Gerrity's specifically made it in 8 $25 increments? Thank you. And good night. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Would 10 anyone else like to address council? 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: Fifth Order. 5-A. 12 MOTIONS. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Dr. Rothchild, do you 14 have any motions or comments? 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. There's 16 one thing I'd forgotten during announcements 17 that I wanted to make note of. I think we had 18 already received this e-mail. But it was 19 regarding a Disability Resource Fair that's 20 going to be taking place on Saturday, May 30th 21 at the Viewmont Mall. 22 So that will be from 10 a.m. to 3 23 p.m. And that's -- that's hosted by -- or 24 sponsored by the Lackawanna County Disability 25 Action Committee. It will feature businesses,  28 1 nonprofit agencies, and volunteer support 2 groups, which enhance the lives of people with 3 disabilities. 4 So just wanted to make people aware 5 that that was going to be taking place. That's 6 upcoming. And I wanted to thank -- I believe 7 it's PAWC American Water that had taken care of 8 North Webster Avenue where they had been doing 9 work for quite some time. 10 And that's been fully restored and 11 paved. But there was an intersection with East 12 Gibson Street. We had received a complaint, I 13 believe, from a while ago about the disturbance 14 there to the crosswalk, specifically that had 15 been recently painted by the city. 16 So I think this was last, you know, 17 maybe summer or fall. And I believe we were 18 assured at that point that when the full 19 restoration occurred, that crosswalk would be 20 added, and it has not been. 21 So I want to just remind -- give 22 them a gentle reminder of that and make sure 23 that they replace the crosswalk that was 24 disturbed. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll bring that to  29 1 their attention, Dr. Rothchild. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. I 3 appreciate that, Mr. Voldenberg. And I had an 4 update on -- that I received from the 5 administration about the older playground that 6 I was asking about last week at Nay Aug Park 7 that there was orange fencing around and part 8 of it was closed off. 9 And I know that the bulk of it has 10 been in disrepair for a while. So they have 11 actually gone forward and removed it. As of 12 this week it's been removed. And hopefully 13 they're -- I know that they're looking into 14 additional playground equipment for the park. 15 I know for the -- to add to the 16 butterfly playground, that's newer there. But 17 not sure if they're looking for more playground 18 equipment to put in that place where that 19 specific one was. I believe the swings are 20 still in place that those were not removed. 21 But there was like a wooden 22 playground structure with -- with slides and 23 monkey bars and climbing apparatuses. And that 24 was -- that was what was removed. So I just 25 wanted to update the public on that.  30 1 I just want to make mention of a 2 visit -- a tour that I've gone on over at Lake 3 Scranton that we had been invited to by PAWC 4 and I believe two Council members had gone on 5 another week. So I was able to go on Monday. 6 And it was -- it was a really nice 7 day to be over there near the lake. And it was 8 a great opportunity to be able to see their 9 facility and the water plant that is there and 10 to learn more about the reservoirs that are 11 feeding into the city as well as the region and 12 just their -- their maintenance of that and 13 improvements that they've made over time to 14 that plant to ensure that we're -- that we're 15 getting the water that we need and clean water. 16 So that was a visit that I had made 17 on Monday. And I had another request for Mr. 18 Voldenberg. There's two properties on Myrtle 19 Street, one is an empty vacant lot. And that's 20 on the 900 block. I believe it's 924 or would 21 be 924 Myrtle. And I want to find out if it's 22 a land bank owned property or if, like, who 23 else is the owner of that property because it 24 is vegan. 25 It's been for years. It's been  31 1 overgrown but also like a dumping ground. 2 There's always been a lot of trash there. So I 3 want to find out about getting that cleaned up. 4 I've been asked by neighbors to do that. 5 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll find out for 6 us. 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. And then 8 another property on Myrtle Street I was asked 9 about is 719 Myrtle, I'm pretty sure. And that 10 is -- has been a condemned building. And it's 11 been condemned for quite some time. So I 12 wanted to find out some more about the status 13 of that property. 14 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get a status 15 on that also. 16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you, I 17 appreciate it. And I believe that's all that I 18 have. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 20 Mr. Sean McAndrew, do you have any motions or 21 comments? 22 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Yeah, I have a 23 few. First, Mr. Mancini, you asked some 24 questions for us. The first one I would say, 25 do zero opioid-death prosecutions concern me?  32 1 Yeah, I would look into it on my end to see 2 what's going on. 3 Do I feel that the overall safety 4 within the city limits has changed for the 5 better of the worst? I mean, I think we're 6 looking at the crime stats throughout the years 7 that it's trending in a worse direction. 8 Do I think we need a study? This 9 administration and the city has done so many 10 studies and paid for so many studies where they 11 don't even use the data. I think we have the 12 best police department in the state. We have a 13 great, excellent district attorney in Brian 14 Gallagher and his detectives are great. 15 And we have the state police who's 16 always willing to help out. So I think between 17 those three bodies, I think they can come up 18 with something and review things. So I don't 19 think we need to pay for a study. We could use 20 the experts we already have. 21 To read questions -- or answers to 22 questions I asked last week. Will the courts 23 be open all day at a time, will they be closed 24 and locked for the day? This is the pickleball 25 and basketball courts at Nay Aug.  33 1 Courts are open during park hours, 8 2 a.m. to dusk. Will the Parks Manager be 3 available to speak with residents during the 4 day with their work schedule if, you know, are 5 they going to be up there basically to answer 6 questions? The answer is, yes. 7 Will there be leagues or instructors 8 for individuals to learn pickleball? I guess 9 there's a short-term league that is scheduled 10 for early summer. And they will offer lessons. 11 I would reach out to the Rec Authority, and 12 they might be able to direct you on how to 13 contact them and how to sign up for the leagues 14 if you are interested. 15 I am going to have -- I have a 16 little update. It's not official. So, Frank, 17 if you can ask the administration if this is 18 true. But I did receive an e-mail -- let me 19 just pull it up -- from one of the individuals, 20 residents up Fawnwood regarding the stormwater 21 issues. 22 Eileen Cipriani sent them an e-mail 23 last week. Just wanted to share a brief 24 update, I have been able to identify funding to 25 continue the project. It will take a little  34 1 time to redirect and get that underway, but it 2 will be completed. 3 So can we just confirm that that is 4 the case that they are going to redirect money 5 there and complete the project to originally -- 6 the original plans and make sure that pipe goes 7 all the way through. 8 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 9 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: If that is true, 10 I thank them for listening to our concerns and 11 the concerns of the residents up there and 12 doing the right thing and getting it done. 13 Next, the EMS services meeting we're 14 trying to set up with the city over the last -- 15 this has been going on since probably the end 16 of last month. We sent down four dates in the 17 last two weeks. They were not able to schedule 18 time with us on those dates. 19 We asked them to send us dates. We 20 got no response. We tried to get some followup 21 throughout the week. We didn't get a response 22 until today that two members are able to meet 23 next Tuesday at 4 or 4:30. We're just waiting 24 for Eileen Cipriani to meet with us. 25 So I do have some questions, Frank,  35 1 if you can, you know, bring these down. I'm 2 hoping they meet with us. This -- to me, this 3 is -- this is an issue. This is an emergency 4 issue. 5 I go to bed at night not knowing how 6 many ambulance services we have in the city at 7 night. And the scary part is Chief Judge said 8 it himself two years ago. At no time he can 9 answer that question. All right. Number one, 10 when I ran for this, is always to make sure our 11 city is safe. 12 It's a number one priority to me on 13 any level of government making sure we're safe 14 and we have the right protection and services 15 to help our citizens. So can you ask the Mayor 16 and direct these directly to the Mayor because 17 the buck stops at the Mayor. 18 We have the Memorial Day coming up. 19 Do we know how many ambulances will be in 20 service on Memorial Day? And who will be the 21 ambulance provider? Fourth of July, who will 22 be the ambulance provider, and how many 23 ambulances will be on the road? 24 We have a big event coming for the 25 World Cup and FIFA, which is unbelievable.  36 1 It's going to be electric. It's going to be 2 awesome. How many ambulance services will be 3 available at all times during -- during that -- 4 those days? And who will be the ambulance 5 provider? 6 They cannot answer those questions. 7 If you look at the City Charter and the Code, 8 the Code states that we should have our own 9 department. All right, we should have our own 10 EMS department. Do we have one? No. Are we 11 violating the code? Yes. 12 Attorney Gilbride, can you look into 13 what action I can have as a City Council member 14 to challenge that and what I can do as a City 15 Council member regarding that issue and the 16 violation by the administration regarding this 17 code? 18 Also, in the charter it states -- if 19 I pull it up, I believe it's article 15 -- just 20 pull it up real quick. I just had it. It 21 states that for ordinances action -- action 22 requiring and ordinances and 15 is, meets 23 public emergency -- meet a public emergency 24 affecting life, health, property or the public 25 peace.  37 1 To me, this is a health emergency. 2 This is an emergency and safety emergency. So 3 what can we do as a Council to figure something 4 out until the administration comes down with a 5 plan, whether it's something we need to do for 6 30 days, 60 days, a year, how can we act as a 7 Council to do something until the 8 administration finally steps up and gets 9 something -- something done? 10 Them dragging their feet to meet 11 with us, to me is shocking. Okay, since I've 12 been on Council, getting answers to questions, 13 getting meetings, has been nothing but uphill 14 battles. It shouldn't be like that. We all -- 15 the Mayor, every member on Council wants to do 16 what's best for the city and make sure we're 17 safe. 18 Why does it have to be this hard to 19 have a meeting? I didn't know I'd be going 20 against this city administration machine that 21 blocks everything we try to do or any question 22 we have, okay? You know, it's great that -- 23 another thing is, the pools are opening. 24 How many ambulances are we going to 25 have when all the summer pools are open? You  38 1 know, it was great to see that they're cutting 2 the ribbon at Nay Aug Park right before -- they 3 were in Wyoming on a campaign trip with 4 Governor Shapiro. 5 But when are we going to talk about 6 what's needed here in Scranton? Can we ask, 7 maybe -- maybe was that -- was this addressed 8 with the Governor that we have no ambulance 9 service in the city? 10 So hopefully we'll get a meeting as 11 soon as possible. But if -- if they aren't 12 going to meet with us, how can we act? What 13 should we do? And I'm -- Mr. Gilbride, that's 14 looking to you for legal advice. So thank you. 15 Also have some questions regarding 16 overall things in the city that were brought to 17 me by residents. When the water company or any 18 of the utility companies, when they repair a 19 road and they pave it, if there was a crosswalk 20 there are they -- should they be putting, you 21 know, repainting the crosswalk? 22 It looks like there's some streets 23 that have not been -- that have been repaved, 24 but there's no crosswalk. So we can look into 25 that, Frank?  39 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 2 McAndrew. 3 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Also, we had 4 American Water here to talk about a few things. 5 But we brought up the stormwater drains. Who 6 owns them, right, there's back and forth on 7 what -- which ones the city owns, which ones we 8 own. 9 Can we please reach back out to 10 American Water to see what's going on because I 11 was talking to some residents in Southside, and 12 I have pictures I could share where the drains 13 are just covered, covered in dirt, covered in 14 debris. 15 I mean, nothing can go down. 16 They're clogged. Even the drains itself under 17 the grates are clogged. So if we don't know 18 who's owning them until we figure it out, we 19 need to take -- it's our responsibility to 20 clean them on mine -- in my opinion. So let's 21 look into that. 22 I could provide some pictures. Even 23 some of the pave cuts where you see pictures 24 where the asphalt is covering the drains. So 25 can we please look into that? Another one  40 1 there's -- I'm going to send you over the 2 actual address later on. But on the 600 block 3 of Alder Street there is a nuisance property 4 where there's been break-ins the last few 5 years. 6 Most recent -- most recently on the 7 19th with the police called. Do we have it 8 boarded up? See if it's on the -- on the 9 condemned list. I'll send you over the actual 10 address. 11 And another thing they asked me 12 where -- when work is being done from the road, 13 from the patch of grass to the sidewalk that 14 the city technically owns, there's incidents 15 where, you know, they're not -- they're 16 actually just putting rocks or they're not 17 bringing it back to -- back to original where 18 it was where the grass -- and laying grass 19 down. 20 And I have some examples of that I 21 will send down as well. And on Pittston Ave, 22 the 400 block of Ripple to Pittston, people are 23 parking way too close to the corner. When 24 people try to make the turn, they can't see 25 what's coming up and what's coming down. So  41 1 can we send them over to see if they can put a 2 no parking -- no parking signs to the corner 3 over there? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 5 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: All right. And 6 then finally, my last one for this over in 7 South Side is on the 400 block of Ripple, 8 there's a bit -- it's a street that goes up. 9 There's a lot of kids running in and out of the 10 streets. 11 Can we put a slow children -- slow 12 down children at play or something like that 13 written in either in the road or a sign, like, 14 slow down children at play. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll submit that 16 also. 17 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: Awesome. And 18 then finally, I have a resident who asked about 19 over in West Side they have -- sorry, let me 20 just pull up my phone with the information. 21 There's a Jackson Street Skate Park. They 22 asked that can it be named after Mayor Hickey? 23 There's a complex next to the state park. 24 Can that be named after Mayor Hickey 25 since he lived right next door. And he was a  42 1 Mayor for a term in the city. And then the 2 skate park named after Mayor Peters who also 3 lives in that section of the neighborhood. So 4 can we send that down to the Mayor's office to 5 take a look into that? 6 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 7 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: And that's all I 8 have. Everybody have a good week. Thanks. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Mr. Pat 10 Flynn. 11 MR. FLYNN: Just one real quick, Mr. 12 Voldenberg, if we could reach out to the 13 administration to see and get any updates on 14 1021 Richmond Street known as the Castle House. 15 It's been an ongoing saga for well over a 16 decade now. 17 There was a demolition order given 18 by Judge Gibbons in 2023. It was upheld on 19 appeal. And I know that at that point the 20 property owner had another opportunity to 21 rehabilitate the home and bring it up to code. 22 That has not happened since then. They were 23 looking to sell the property. 24 I was made aware that the property 25 is no longer up for sale. It was for quite  43 1 some time, was not sold, no longer up for sale, 2 no rehabilitation has been done to the 3 property. It's -- it's been a real nuisance 4 for the neighbors and just want to get an 5 update from the city of where things stand with 6 that on the demolition list, what the path 7 forward is. 8 It's going on a couple years now. 9 So if we could -- if we could get that update, 10 I would appreciate that. 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll get 12 an update and their next steps. 13 MR. FLYNN: Thank you. And that's 14 all I have for this evening. Thanks. 15 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. A few 16 things, one, there was a discrepancy raised 17 tonight about the gift cards. If we could just 18 check into the accuracy of those numbers if 19 they add up and then ask if there's any 20 discrepancy, could we know that information? 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Last week 23 we asked -- or I asked about a status update 24 for the property located at 903 Meadow Avenue. 25 It was -- it was condemned quite a while ago.  44 1 There was a story in the news about hoarding in 2 large numbers of cats. 3 Just asked about, you know, what's 4 going on in terms of cleanup condemnation. And 5 I got an answer back stating that the property 6 located at 903 Meadow Avenue remains condemned 7 and unoccupied. 8 The city has begun taking steps to 9 determine the extent of any health risks that 10 may be posed by the condition of the home. And 11 they're going to take necessary action based on 12 that determination. So we'll be waiting for an 13 update on that house. But it is on their 14 radar. 15 I did ask some -- I sent over 16 concerns about the property at 448 West Market 17 Street. This was a property that recently 18 there was the Zoning Board approved for an 19 apartment complex to be built there. It was 20 originally a 10 unit apartment. I believe it's 21 down to six at this point in time. 22 Council did pass a sewer hookup with 23 our new sewer policy, but we didn't weigh in on 24 the property. But I have some concerns about 25 the property. It's not really up to standards  45 1 of that neighborhood. There's a lot of trash 2 laying around. There's cars being worked on. 3 There's garbage being dumped over the riverbed. 4 But I did send it over to code 5 enforcement. And code enforcement officers did 6 go out. I did get back that code enforcement, 7 the Parks Blight Team and DPW conducted a site 8 assessment at the 448 West Market Street at 9 the request of Council. 10 There's a large pile of debris on 11 private property that's in a fenced-in area 12 that's going to create a challenge for the 13 blight team and DPW to clean up and that the 14 consensus is that the property owner should be 15 required to clean it up. 16 And I will say I do agree with this. 17 During the site visit, the code enforcement 18 officers took pictures in advance of 19 infractions that are going to lead to citations 20 on the property. And they're going to be 21 citations that are leveled against that owner. 22 But they took those pre-pictures to 23 have that property owner pick that up. I did 24 get a call from one of the neighbors there. 25 And they did see that the city was out and  46 1 addressed some of the issues. But they were 2 really concerned about the dumping of the 3 refuse or the garbage over the river bank. 4 And I'm happy to see that it's going 5 to be put on this property owner and clean up 6 that property. So I'll be waiting for -- for 7 more updates on that property as well. I did 8 get a call prior to coming to the meeting 9 tonight. 10 There was concerns raised about a 11 property at the bottom of East Mountain Road. 12 It's a property directly across from the 13 Salvation Army on East Mountain Road. This is 14 a city entrance to a neighborhood. 15 It's the entrance to East Mountain. 16 And the neighbors are concerned that the 17 Memorial Day holiday coming up, and, you know, 18 individuals coming into the city that see this 19 coming off of the highway that being an 20 entrance to a neighborhood, it doesn't put 21 Scranton's best foot forward. 22 So if we can again follow up. I 23 know they're trying to determine the owner of 24 that property. But if we could determine the 25 owner and see what can be done about cleanup of  47 1 that property as well. 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: That's correct, 3 sir. The DPW Director said that the city will 4 clean up the property. However, the decaying 5 barriers are owned by the property owner. So 6 they would need to update or replace them. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay. Thank you. 8 That's good lead in to this one. I would like 9 to thank DPW. The street sweeper was requested 10 in a couple area of the city. The blocks of 11 North Cameron Avenue and North Merrifield. I 12 did get calls over there that there hasn't 13 really been any cleanup since the flood 14 occurred. 15 And I did get that over and they did 16 get the street sweeper out I would say within a 17 day. And on the 19th of May, they did go into 18 that area and they did bring the street sweeper 19 through the alleys and through Merry -- North 20 Cameron and Merrifield. 21 I would like to thank them for that. 22 Also, a request for the street sweeper to come 23 over to Brook Street and Blucher Ave. The 24 street sweeper was there on May 20th. So they 25 were pretty fast with that. I would like to  48 1 thank our new sweeper driver. 2 I do know that they're going to be 3 gaining a new street sweeper coming up after -- 4 I believe it's one we approve through Seventh 5 Order our capital budget -- but thank them for 6 going out there in a timely manner. 7 To add to Mr. McAndrew's inquiries 8 about stormwater and Keyser Valley, can we also 9 confirm -- I unofficially I was told what is 10 occurring there. But I didn't get an official 11 answer. Did we secure the last of those 12 easements? I believe there was two easements 13 left. 14 Did we, in fact, secure those 15 easements and when the entirety of the project 16 will be completed in what was originally termed 17 Phase 1 of the Fawnwood stormwater. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those 19 questions. 20 MR. SEAN MCANDREW: I'm sorry, can 21 we -- where the money is coming from -- where 22 they're transferring -- 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 24 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And 25 that's all I have for tonight.  49 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
