Council Chambers  
Invocation:  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that Officer Stanko passed away from a long illness. A  
couple of weeks ago there was a Softball Tournament in his benefit. His  
wife was there. He stated that he stopped over a little later in the day and  
the place was packed. It was an all day event. Council wanted to  
recognize Officer Thomas Cunningham who actually by himself put all this  
together. He read the Proclamation for Officer Thomas Cunningham. He  
stated that Council has a couple other Proclamations for Officer Kayla  
Balatgek, Officer Andrew Gehringer, and Lieutenant Vince Kidd - Allentown  
Fire Department.  
Mr. Daryl Hendricks stated that he also had an opportunity to be over there  
that weekend and it was a great event. He thanked the Fire Department in  
addition to the many Police were there.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated during Police Week every year the Police Department  
gives out Commendations for various things resulting in heroic acts and  
acts of merit throughout the prior year. Sometimes you have occasions to  
celebrate other than Police Week and the Proclamations that he is going to  
read for two Police Officers and a Fire Officer. There is nothing more  
heroic to yourself than saving a life. What happened a few weeks ago on  
May 19th, an incident occurred which he is going to read about and two of  
our Police Officers and a Firefighter were able to save an individual's life.  
He read the Proclamations for Officer Kayla Balatgek, Officer Andrew  
Gehringer, and Lieutenant Vince Kidd - Allentown Fire Department.  
Fire Chief Efrain Agosto stated that Lieutenant Vince Kidd was not able to  
be here since he has young children. Thank you.  
Ms. Kelly Pasda (sp) stated that Bob is her bestfriend and they live on  
Adams Island. He had a seizure as he was standing at the edge of his  
porch. He fell in and breathed in the water right away and went to the  
bottom of the river. She stated that she is telling them this because this is a  
really happy ending and a miracle. Because you guys saved him so quick,  
she heard that he was not breathing when the officers and firefighter  
brought him out of the river and gave him CPR and got his heart going and  
a pulse. After three days being there and praying for him around the clock  
with our church, our glory and honor goes to not only you, but to God. They  
took another MRI and he has all brain activity. His lungs are fine except for  
a little pneumonia. It is going to take him a little while to recover.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that when Bob is able, up and ready to go, if you give  
the Police Chief and Fire Chief a call you can arrange to have a picture  
taken with his heroes.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that she loves great stories and great endings.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that Council has one more and this involves a business  
has been around longer than most of us, The Brass Rail who unfortunately  
is going to be leaving the city of Allentown. He read The Brass Rail's  
Proclamation.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota asked for a Moment of Silence for the victims of Uvalde  
Texas.

Ms. Sarrah McNeil stated that this is done as RFP-2022 - 17. It was  
advertised on Public Purchase and accessed by 22 vendors. One  
proposal was received. An evaluation committee made of six people  
evaluated the proposal and it was scored based off of the RFP  
requirement. After all the evaluations were computed, the committee is  
recommending an award to Environmental Waste Minimization. The sum  
of the contract will be based on the unit prices set forth in the vendor's Cost  
Proposal which is on as needed emergency basis. This is the city's current  
vendor and has successfully do business with them.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota thanked Ms. McNeil and asked if there were any  
questions from the dais or the public.  
A motion was made by Cynthia Mota that this Resolution be approved. The  
motion carried by the following vote:

R86  
Authorizes a two year contract with King George Fleet Services in the  
amount of $2,693,221.90 for year 1 and $2,730.546.15 in year two for fleet  
maintenance services.  
Amendment to be proposed: Authorizes an emergency contract with King  
George, for one year only, with the option of one year renewal upon  
council’s approval in the amount of $2,693,221.90 for year 1 and  
$2,730.546.15 in year two for fleet maintenance services, unless the 60  
day termination that is routinely part of all contracts is enacted  
Administration  
Sponsors:  
Ms. Cynthia Mota thanked Mr. Hanlon and stated that she has a note here.  
She stated that they spoke to Mr. Lightner and the Solicitor on this issue.  
The upshot is that they don't understand that this is an emergency contract  
under our Code given the current situation in regards to the Fleet  
Maintenance. The Solicitor is comfortable with the procedure of the Mayor  
in entering an emergency contract and coming to Council for approval to  
ensure transparency. The following amendment has been prepared  
regarding a concern. Some of the Councilmembers have raised that  
needs a mover or a second.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated before we get to that, most of you know that we have  
been dealing with this for a while and it has gotten to an atrocious position.  
Unless we do this, we are not going to have any vehicles that are going to  
be repaired. We have voted on a company back in December under the  
prior administration. At that time, it was voted down. However, we do not  
have an emergency situation at this time. The mayor approached him and  
a couple of members of Council and explained something that is going on  
and it just makes perfect sense that we need to do this in order to keep the  
fleet going. If you remember correctly when we voted on that contract, back  
then it was a two year contract. We also have a study going on as we  
spoke about possibly bringing it in-house or again keeping it outside  
based on the financial situation that the survey and the study comes up  
with. In the meantime, you wants to make an amendment that authorizes  
the emergency contract with King George for one year only with an option  
of a one year renewal upon Council's approval in the amount of  
$2,693,221.90 for year one and if need be in year 2 upon agreement with  
Council, there will be a second year agreement for the amount of  
$2,730,546.15. Unless the 60 day termination is routinely part of all  
contracts is inactive.  
Mr. Ed Zucal asked if there was any discussions on the motion. Any  
discussions from the public? He asked Mayor Tuerk if he has any  
comments.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that he appreciates as Mr. Zucal pointed out that  
we are midway as of the last Council meeting. We approved a contract  
with Mercury Associates to complete a consultant agreement that would  
give us the information that we need to move forward with a decision to  
either insource the work or continue with a contract. We need to get to that  
point. We expect the results of that Consulting Agreement in late  
September, early October which will allow us to prepare for whether the  
eventuality is. We will need to get to that point. We appreciates Council's  
desire to keep our fleet rolling. It is critically important to our Public Works  
Department, to our Police Department, to our Fire and EMS that we have  
serviceable vehicles. This should keep us on the road.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated that he has a question and perhaps the  
administration or Mr. Shahda can answer. We go through with the one year  
contract, will they be honoring the Collective Bargaining Agreement that  
currently exists. Will that effect whatsoever the CBA that is currently in  
place.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated the CBA currently with Constellis. He asked Mr.  
Shahda to answer that question.  
Mr. Mark Shahda stated that he does not know at this time if King George  
will honor the current CBA contract. It is something that has to be  
discussed with them.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel asked if they can get a definitive answer soon. If that is  
not going to be on it, that will be a significant problem. He stated that he  
would like a genuine commitment that they are going to honor the CBA  
because the agreement was made and we need to maintain that  
commitment to our workers.  
Mr. Mark Shahda stated that he will look into it and report back.  
Mr. Ed Zucal asked if it is fair to say when this was discussed before, their  
agreement was to honor back then.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that at that point in December, they have not  
received a contract. They were operating under the existing conditions.  
They presented a proposal that would allow them to continue to provide  
services. He stated that he believes at that point that the intent was to with  
the existing CBA. Without a contract they were unable to answer that  
question.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that he agrees with Councilman Siegel, that does  
create a problem. The amendment has been seconded. They need to  
have a vote on the amendment. He stated that however, they need to add  
a stipulation that King George needs to abide by the union in the current  
union agreement.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that they will address it.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that as you can see, it makes a difference on the vote.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated absolutely. They will address it with King  
George and asked that question. As an emergency situation, he does not  
know. That was the only bid. He stated that they will ask. If that is the only  
bidder and we are in an emergency situation that is a tough situation to put  
us in.  
M
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that when a contract ends and it runs out, it is  
agreed upon between two parties that you would abide by the old  
agreement until you come to a new one. Conceivably, you have an  
agreement in place. We are asking you to recognize those employees that  
are still there by going over to King George. The alternative is what,  
staying the course until we get the proposals back from the study. They  
never heard what the alternative is outside of voting for King George  
tonight. As far as the collective bargaining agreement goes, they are  
asking the city to recognize those employees that are still there and protect  
them. He recalled when they talked about King George back in December,  
they talked about that and it was never any indication from the  
administration then that they were willing to accept the CBA going forward.  
He stated that they never got that assurance. No one ever called him and  
said, let's talk about that. Those are the things that both him when they talk  
about recognizing employees. When you want to go through those  
avenues, you have dialogue. When you don't have dialogue, you are not  
looking to go down that road.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated one observation that he would make, Mr.  
Hunsicker would it be fair to say that the existing contractor or doesn't have  
a good relationship with SEIU.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that it is tough when you are bargaining with  
companies and they are not labor friendly. This company, Centerra is not  
very labor friendly. It is difficult to have negotiations with a company like  
that. You still have to negotiate and they still have to go to the bargaining  
table. We have been going back and forth with them on a extensive basis  
for a long time. There have been off again and on again dialogues. He  
doesn't think it is where they are not willing to sit down with them or  
anybody else.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that is not his suggestion. His suggestions is the  
reason why that the city is asking for an emergency authorization is  
specifically because of the challenges that the existing contractor has with  
finding labor. This is the core of the situation is that the existing contractor  
and asked Mr. Lightner what positions that the city is not able to hire at this  
point.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated mechanics.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that he agrees 110 percent of what they are  
saying. He had the discussion with the mayor and some members on  
Council. His though process is hey, listen if you are not willing to pay the  
people to fix the vehicles, you are not going to get people in here. He  
stated that he doesn't care who they bring in here. King George can tell  
you all they want. They can tell you they are going to fly mechanics in here  
and work on your vehicles. For how long? Are they going to bring in two,  
five, 10, or 20? They are going to have the same challenges that Centerra  
has right now because they don't pay the freight for the people that are  
qualified. That is what it is all about, getting people in here that are  
qualified to repair your vehicles. If you don't pay the money, you don't get  
the people. There are people there, but you have to draw them in. The city  
has an obligation for them to adhere to that agreement. he stated that he  
doesn't know back behind closed doors what they are doing legally to  
enforce Centerra to abide by their agreement. They have been in  
violations of that agreement for a long time with not having the proper  
staffing. What do you do, he says he does not know. Do you hold  
monetary from that company to make them see what is going on?  
Ms. Cynthia Mota thanked Mr. Hunsicker for his feedback.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that as far as the outcome of Centerra, it has to be an  
administrative decision. Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that they are looking  
at it. Do we know if the current employees are going to stay with King  
George.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that they have six employees right now that are  
union. He stated that the city reached out to King George, but does not  
want to overextend by reaching out to them asking too many questions until  
tonight. He stated that the city asked them if they would honor that dollar  
amount for an emergency contract and they said they would. The city  
asked about a noncompete. He stated that the city had to find out from the  
current employees if it was a noncompete. From what they hear, it is not.  
Talking with King George, the brief amount that they can, is willing to look at  
whoever is there and if they are willing to stay on to keep them on. That is  
the extent of the conversation we had until we know what is going to  
happen tonight. Once we enter into an emergency contract, these issues  
that we are talking about, the city can address it in the contract. One of the  
things that they talked about as Mr. Hunsicker brought up is that we are  
losing mechanics for higher pay elsewhere. We are all competing. One of  
the things that we looked at when we talked to King George is that we have  
to bring the mechanics in at a higher rate. That is already a discussion as  
well. The city can add that to the contract as we move forward. He stated  
that the administration does not want to get too far ahead until they know  
what Council is going to do tonight. As Ryan said we have been in an  
emergency for a long time. We are in it now. We have vehicles that are  
down. We have vehicles that need to be repaired. We have lost an EVT  
mechanic and on the verge of losing another one.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that he does not think there is a question among  
anybody that we are in bad shape here.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that we are asking those questions, but don't  
want to get too far ahead until we know how we are going to move forward  
tonight.  
As Ryan said, we have been in an emergency for a long time. We are in it  
now. We have vehicles that are down. We have vehicles that need to be  
repaired. We have lost an EVT mechanic and on the verge of losing  
another one.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that there is no question among anybody that we are in  
bad here.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that they are asking those questions until we  
know how we are going to move forward tonight.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated from Council's standpoint part of their obligation is to  
protect the employees.  
Mr. Daryl Hendricks asked if Council can move forward with this and vote in  
favor providing that they do respect the collective bargaining agreement  
that is in place now and make that a stipulation.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that there is not one in place now. That is part of  
the point. It has expired.  
Mr. Daryl Hendricks stated going by that which has expired.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that they can ask.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated as far as the expired contract, Mr. Hunsicker is correct.  
You still have to honor the old contract until the new one is settled.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that he would need to talk to legal because if  
we are severing ties with Centerra, legally he does not know if he can  
answer that question. You bringing in a whole new contractor. You are  
bringing in a whole new emergency contract. How do we hold them  
accountable to a company terminating their agreement. He stated that he  
does not have the legal answer to that, but they can look into it and find out.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that their union is not part of Centerra. Their union is  
part of SEIU.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that it is a different SEIU.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated 32BJ. They represent all of Centerra and their  
staff.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that it is not a Centerra issue, it is an SEIU issue.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that it would be no different than when you did  
the Water and Sewer Lease. When we asked the vendor to acknowledge  
and accept the bargaining terms of our current labor agreement with the  
city of Allentown. LCA did that.  
Mr. Leonard Lightner stated that it is labor law. It is a lot of different can't  
answer that because there were a lot of concepts with that. What Ryan is  
talking about those employees were city employees. These employees  
right now are not city employees.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that the point is that they have to accept the  
agreement. They had to accept the thoughts of the CBA at the time. It  
followed them over. In essence what they did was accept the agreement.  
They did not have to, but you put it in the RFP at the time to do it.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that the motion has been seconded.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated for a point of clarification, his statement about  
honoring the labor contract is not part of the motion that we are going to be  
voting on.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that is correct.  
A motion was made by Ed Zucal, seconded by Joshua Siegel, that this Resolution  
be amended. The motion carried by the following vote:  
7 -  
Yes:  
Natalie Santos, Candida Affa, Cynthia Mota, Daryl Hendricks, Ed Zucal, Ce-Ce  
Gerlach, and Joshua Siegel  
Enactment No: 30450  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that one of the concerns with the expired  
agreement is what led us into this situation. We really want King George to  
be successful which would probably require them to negotiate a better  
agreement with those employees. If they are subject to the amendment that  
they suggested during the one to one. If they are going to be successful  
they are going to have to negotiate a better deal with those employees.  
The reason that they are in this place now is because of the previous  
contractors failure to attract employees which is probably a condition of an  
expired agreement or a substandard previous agreement. He stated that  
he is not sure if it makes sense to compel the new contractor to honor the  
existing agreement insofar of the quality of that existing agreement. If King  
George is strictly a nonunion company which he really thinks they are. He  
stated that he doesn't think they are willing to do that.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated that you want the new contractor to accept the  
terms of the current agreement that they are under. Even thought it is an  
expired agreement, its an agreed upon agreement going into negotiations.  
What you asking them to do is maintain a unionized shop at the city  
garage.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk suggested to Council rather than asking King George to  
honor the existing agreement, just ask King George to come up with an  
agreement. Maintain a union shop.  
Mr. Ryan Hunsicker stated maintain a unionized shop.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota asked can it be worded like that.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that is the goal they are trying to get to anyway.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach asked if it has to be an official amendment over the  
motion.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated no, we already voted on that amendment.  
Mr. Charles Smith stated ask is the operative term.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated versus require. She stated that she prefers  
require.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated that they are not going to kick out union  
employees. We are going to pay them $2.6 million.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that it would be better if they put ask instead of  
require.  
Mr. Charles Smith stated that if you put require it could go down.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk reiterated the administrations position. We want to  
protect workers at the same time we keep our vehicles rolling. There are  
SEIU employees that are operating equipment that is at risk of not  
operating. There are IAFF employees that are rolling in trucks that are not  
where we want them to be. There are FOP employees that are challenged  
by the condition of the shop. We need to protect of the employees that are  
operating in the city of Allentown. We want to also make sure that we are  
serving the needs of our community with emergency vehicles and with  
standard maintenance vehicles. They are very interested in King George  
or whatever contractor being successful. We will ask them to work with  
SEIU 32BJ because we believe in the strength of a union and serving its  
needs.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated you remember that there was a strike over there  
before. We do not want to go through that again.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota asked if there were any questions from the dais.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated that he would impress upon King George that if  
they do not bargain in good faith and they are not a fair negotiator and they  
do not recognize the urgency of providing fair wages to attract qualified  
talent, we have the right to break this contract within 60 days. He would not  
hesitate to break a contract with a firm that does not respect the rights of  
our employees and bargain a decent living wage. Insourcing is the best  
course of action.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota asked if there were any questions from the public.  
A motion was made by Ed Zucal, seconded by Joshua Siegel, that this Resolution  
be amended. The motion carried by the following vote:

REFERRED TO SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING  
Ms. Candida Affa asked if this goes on the categories that Council has.  
She stated that she is confused with this $1.5 million. She stated that  
Council is having a meeting next week getting advice on homeless and the  
experts. The next one is going to be public safety and the next will be  
tourism. Why is this here?  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated maybe public safety and tourism.  
Mr. Michael Hanlon stated that the mayor introduced this and he has the  
power to introduce a bill.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that he introduced it which he has the power to do.  
What we are doing is referring it to a later date when that bucket of  
discussions come up.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that he introduced it and we have the power to  
introduce it two weeks from now.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated or whenever.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that she shares Ms. Affa's confusion. She does  
not know if they send it to a committee or anything at this point because we  
have not really followed the process that the Council President and Vice  
President have put forth in terms of hearing experts and public testimony.  
At the last meeting, tourism wasn't even a category, but we are referring  
two items to the next meeting.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that at this time we aren't discussing it because the  
process has not been completed. If the mayor would not have put it  
forward, it would not be on here.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated when it goes to the committee. It could be done at  
a later date.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated it is not going to a committee.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that is not the process that Council agreed to.  
The thoughts were that Council would have on the 8th expert opinions for  
housing then the following one. This was a process that we were going to  
have. We did not want to piecemeal. We were after the categories. Each  
week we will have a different one and they would present their expert  
opinion. She stated that she does not understand what this is supposed to  
be all about then.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that we are asking Council to consider and some  
day in the future appropriation. This appropriation for the DaVinci Project  
could fit into the tourism bucket, economic development bucket, the youth  
bucket. It will be discussed at the prior meeting on the 25th. You can call  
experts in to advise you on the merits of this project or any other project  
during that meeting. We are putting this project on the agenda with a  
request that this be forwarded to the committee for discussion at which  
point you can have the discussion and take a vote. This is a project that  
has been evaluated by a scoring committee with the scoring sheet  
associated with it. We will provide that to City Council at the time of the  
discussion.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that some of the challenges she still has at the  
last meeting Ms. Mota stated a number of concerns that they had. She is  
not sure any of the concerns has been addressed yet concerning the  
application process. Some people on Council are concerned that they  
don't really see the applications and the scoring. For her she does not  
see how they forward two items even to a Special Council Meeting in some  
date in the future when we haven't even decided that this is a category that  
we would like to allocate money towards. Many of us have stated that a  
couple of times. It is challenging again to have two individual allocations on  
the agenda.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that these are projects that have been formulated,  
scored and presented to Council a couple of times now. While we wait for  
other projects to materialize, we are asking Council to consider these  
projects at a special meeting.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated that procedurally we are going to have a bunch of  
public hearings. Is the goal then to take all that testimony, formulate into  
some broader package and slot in all the $39 million in one big spend and  
vote on that all at once. Is the intention to piece all together until all the  
money is used up and basically allocated all at once. He stated that he is  
just curious because obviously we will have testimony. We still in a sense  
will be piecemeal. We might allocate money to a community center and it  
will take longer to formulate on how we want to spend money on  
anti-violence perhaps. There are some projects that are shovel ready and  
ready to go and there are projects that might take time to formulate. What  
is the end goal. There is a time constraint with certain projects verses  
others. There are cost constraints as inflation continues to rise.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that the goal here with Council is that the priorities  
are actually have a lot to do with it. We need a lot of infrastructure and the  
police department looking to have 10 more police officers. This is why we  
put this in categories. This was not even in one of the categories. She  
stated that she is not saying that this is not good or she is not voting for it.  
She is not saying she does not want it. We should go through the process  
the way we had planned to go through the process. We are going to have  
priorities that she thinks is homelessness is much more of a priority than  
DaVinci and the IronPigs. Hiring public safety with the police department,  
our infrastructure with pools this is not something that we don't want to vote  
on, but we felt as a whole that we liked this category idea so that we can do  
it little by little and understand what is going on. Now, all of a sudden we  
have another category which is fine.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated that he understands, but still looking for  
clarification given the length of time. We should be deliberative.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that it will be more than a month. We have three  
meetings.  
Mr. Joshua Siegel stated presumptively, Council will have hearings. We  
should have hearings and public testimonies are necessary. Not doing that  
does affect our employees, our businesses, our city. The overall growth  
and health of our region which in turn hurts our residents.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that this is exactly what she is not saying. The fact  
that Council is not against giving the IronPigs. We are just talking about the  
Special Meeting. No one on this dais said anything about it. We  
understand how important the Pigs are to the community. We understand  
DaVinci. We understand all of that. Not one of us has said we are not  
willing to listen and allocate some of this money. We have a process and  
we would like to stick to the process that we started.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated for tonight's purposes where we are right now is that  
there is a motion on the floor to table this until we get to that section where  
we are discussing that bucket.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that until Council decides that is a buckets that  
we want to discuss.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that he will second that for tonight's purposes.  
Mr. Michael Hanlon stated that Ms. Mota has referred it to a special  
committee. You probably can take public comment on that. Ms. Gerlach  
wants to table.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota asked if there were any questions from the public.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk asked the question in terms of the process. He stated  
that he is not sure he actually has seen the process. The process is going  
to be a series of unscheduled public meetings in which there will be  
testimony given for a group of buckets. Are you going to hold a special  
meeting where you will take testimony on tourism.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that she believes on the first page of the  
agenda. It says on the 25th under Reports, it says that Council held a  
special meeting on May 25th at 6:00 PM to discuss and prevent categories  
they find important for ARPA funding and took public testimony on these  
additional areas. Here is what is relevant: Council will continue their  
meetings on June 8th to consider a proposal from Councilpersons and the  
public that would like to extend the categories to entertainment and tourism  
venues and take testimony from experts regarding housing and  
homelessness.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that we are talking about DaVinci in this case. He  
asked them to take him and the public through the process. At what point  
will Council actually vote on funding these ready to go projects.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that it seems like they have a number of  
categories that they need to have expert testimony on and have the public  
have an opportunity to engage with just like many other municipalities have  
in terms of surveys and public hearings. Some like Harrisburg actually  
hired companies to do all this for them in terms of public outreach. That  
could be potentially in July, depending on how many more meetings we  
have. It seems like public safety is definitely a category. Tourism could  
potentially be a category as well. The youth, a number of individuals came  
out and spoke about the youth. Mr. Ed Zucal stated that as part of the  
process, Council needs to review the applications, specifically to make the  
process in that sense is followed in regards to all the documentation that  
was required on the applications.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that opportunities with expert witness which will be  
from the DaVinci Center to address Council regarding tourism. It would be  
like the Chief talking to Council saying how important it is to have more  
police officers.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk asked if at that point will City Council allocate some  
funding for those buckets.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that at that point, we are just listening and taking  
public testimony.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk asked if the testimony provided on May 25th not  
sufficient for Council to make decisions about funding prior.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that he would say no. That was mostly an information  
gathering session on what people want.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated is that not what testimony is, an information  
gathering session.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated experts. We are talking about the PA Housing  
Alliance. We are talking about possibly the RHAB. We are talking about  
our Chief of Police. People who knows the numbers or the data. They  
know the big picture. It is not necessary that they want money.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated everybody wants a handout. It is not about that.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated that it is not that they work for an organization  
and they want money. It's hey, I worked for this organization and let me tell  
you about the trends. Let me tell you about what types of projects are going  
to get federal funding this year. What types of projects are not. It is as  
simple as I met with someone way back when this money first came and  
she thought it would be awesome to put money towards fixing up blighted  
homes. She met with someone who works for Habitat for Humanity and he  
informed me because he is an expert and she is not and none of Council  
are and when it comes to housing and she does not know who else in here  
is. He informed her that is not quite the way that things are trending. That  
they are working with CACLV to provide financial support for people to fix  
up the foundational thing like the pipes, the plumbing, the electrical work.  
Yes, they are still building homes, but not necessarily rehabbing them. That  
was like a year ago. She did not know that. It was helpful to have people  
who know more than us and you to come in and speak about the bigger  
issues. The broader issues and not be so micro-focused on particular  
organizations. Let's talk about tourism in Allentown. Let's talk about what  
industries have been hardest hit when it comes to tourism. Has it been the  
arts, baseball stadiums? She stated that she does not know. That is a  
much broader conversation so we can make more informed and  
comprehensive decisions. It is not just base on the IronPigs are cool. They  
are cool. That's nice. What about tourism in general? What it is a better  
investment when it comes to tourism and the IronPigs.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that we all frown upon having individual  
conversations with people that want to. She stated that she had a  
conversation with Sherri Bender way before that. Now, we have to disclose  
that. Mr. Finley called her up and she is sure called other people up. She  
stated that they are frowning upon that because they want them to come  
and tell Council how much the Pigs need the money, why they need the  
money, why it is important to have them. If someone individually talks to Ce  
Ce or talks to Cynthia about these things. It is not collective. It is  
something that we should not be doing. We are talking to an individual that  
has a lot to do with this and persuading us. This is why we did what we did  
so we can as a group listen to it and have these categories and not talk to  
individuals. She stated that if Mr. Finley talk to us, she has to report this  
that she had a conversation with him. That is the ordinance that we have  
passed. We frowned upon doing that. We would rather have them come.  
The citizens of Allentown many of them have no idea what the IronPigs do  
for this city. She stated that she had people snicker, you are not going to  
give them $1.5 million. Them coming in ang bragging about themselves  
and telling us exactly what and it is also good for the public. If you go out  
there and talk to as many people as she did, they laugh at the idea. This is  
important for transparency. He came in last week and she stated oh my  
God. She had no idea. She stated what Ce Ce said, Council just wants  
all this information. We will never get $57 million again. They want to make  
sure what they do is right. Tourism is very important. We don't know  
important it is. We need facts and figures on how important is the  
Nineteenth Street Theatre. How important are these things that we don't  
even think about. If it is important for the IronPigs to come in and Mr. Finley  
to come in.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that we are talking about DaVinci. We are not  
talking about the IronPigs. We are on Bill 39.  
Ms. Candida Affa stated that the purpose for them is that the want the  
information. All the information that we can possibly get. There may be  
three of them that don't want to give money and maybe four that wants to. It  
is information, information, and information by experts.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated what is in front of Council is Rule VII of the  
Council Rules. At the meeting in which any Resolution or other matter first  
appears upon the agenda it will be acted upon by Council at that meeting  
unless the Presiding Officer, or the Council, by a majority vote commits  
such matters to the appropriate committee. That is what is in front of you.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that in other words, we need to vote.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated that Council can refer to a committee, unless  
the presiding officer commits such matters to the appropriate committee.  
Mayor Matt Tuerk stated that you can have the discussion in committee.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that when you refer something to a special  
committee, it does not mean that you need to meet in a week or two  
weeks. You just schedule the meetings later on. He stated to Ms. Mota  
that he believes Attorney Smith is saying that you are the president and it's  
your prerogative to refer this to committee.  
Ms. Cynthia Mota stated that she wants to refer it to a Special Council  
Meeting.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated that Ms. Mota still has to take a vote. It was a motion  
then a second.  
Attorney Charles Smith asked what is the question under consideration.  
Was it the resolution to table?  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated yes.  
Attorney Charles Smith asked if they wanted to table the Bill.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated to table Bill 39.  
Mr. Michael Hanlon stated that we got a first and a second. He asked if  
they are ok taking a motion to table.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated that Ms. Mota is referring it to committee.  
The motion to table is to table the referral.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated to table Bill 39 to a Special Meeting.  
Mr. Michael Hanlon stated that you get four votes to table it. It is tabled  
until you get another four votes to bring it back.  
Mr. Ed Zucal stated no. We have the vote to table it. If it passes, the  
presiding officer can overrule and send it to a committee. We have to vote  
on the table first. We have a motion and a second. Even if it passes, Ms.  
Mota has the authority to overrule that and send it a committee.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated that he believes what happens here is that  
Ms. Mota has the authority to revert to the committee as the presiding  
officer. If you move to table that action or the consideration of Bill 39. Are  
you moving to table the entirety or moving it to a committee.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated moving to a committee. It is not tabling  
allocating money to them in one day. It is tabling allocating money to them  
one day. It is just tabling them because they should not be moving ahead of  
everyone else to a Special Committee.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated to Mr. Hanlon before they commit to  
something he wants to consider.  
Mr. Michael Hanlon stated that his judgment would be that this is just  
history. Ms. Mota has the power to refer something. Ms. Gerlach is  
making the motion to table his assumption was if it is tabled, the four  
people rule. The only way it can be untabled if four people bring it back.  
That is sort of Robert's Rule stuff.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated that the motion to table is stopping the  
referral to committee and to table it. That seems to be the intent.  
Ms. Ce Ce Gerlach stated yes.  
Attorney Charles Smith stated that they have to vote on the Motion to Table.  
If you look at your Rule VIII, the motion to table, the first thing it should be  
decided without tabling. It just has to be voted on.
