7:35
serve as our timekeeper now begin to my
7:37
right is there anyone that would like to
7:39
offer public comment seeing and hearing
7:43
none anyone in the middle section yes if
7:46
you wouldn't mind using this microphone
7:55
okay near kker and Green Street um I
7:59
came in today I received a park two
8:01
parking tickets actually uh a few about
8:08
I didn't appreciate how I was uh
8:11
approached by The ticketer Who gave me
8:13
the tickets um I seemed a little more
8:15
conversational than it needed to be um I
8:18
I was a little uh fired up because I
8:20
just saw two tickets in my windshield
8:22
for 60 bucks in a place where I park
8:24
quite often and have never gotten
8:26
ticketed before um and when I did ask
8:29
the person tiet you know what is this
8:32
ordinance that you are that I'm being
8:34
cited for to parking um he could not
8:37
give that to me which I do understand
8:38
you know he's there to inforce um but
8:40
then he wouldn't give me his name he
8:41
wouldn't tell me he worked for he told
8:43
my neighbor he couldn't she couldn't be
8:44
reporing him because that's illegal
8:46
which it's not he was on a street corner
8:49
um and then I did call the city to try
8:51
to ask like I didn't think that I
8:52
deserved to get these tickets um based
8:55
on my reading of the ordinance for the
8:56
city it does say parking prohibit is
8:59
when signs are erected lawfully giving
9:01
notice thereof no person shall Park a
9:03
vehicle at any time upon any of the
9:05
streets or parts of the streets or
9:06
parking facilities designated as
9:08
prohibited parking areas by the traffic
9:09
control Maps or by temporary regulations
9:11
in Conformity with chapter uh 3 107
9:14
temporary traffic regulations and when I
9:17
told them that they pointed me to the
9:19
state statute en title 75 chapter
9:24
3353 which does give um the limitations
9:29
I would cited for parking too close to
9:30
an crosswalk that was not marked and too
9:32
close to a stop sign and um I was told
9:36
by the parking official who gave me the
9:38
ticket and then when I called the city I
9:39
was told that they are allowed to do
9:41
that because the state gives them the
9:42
maps that do that however the statutes
9:45
are not referenced at all in um the
9:47
city's ordinances they're not listed as
9:49
crop references they're not listed um
9:51
anywhere in here and it does say the
9:54
city ordinances do say if it's not
9:56
marked so while state law I was told
9:59
repeatedly by them State wall trumps
10:01
local law which is true in terms of
10:02
jurisdiction not in terms of specificity
10:04
so my reading of this ordinance is when
10:07
signs are erected would mean while this
10:09
map may be accurate in terms of what the
10:11
state law allows if it's not marked in
10:13
the city it I shouldn't be getting a
10:15
ticket for it based on the ordinances of
10:17
the city and when I kind of pushed back
10:20
on U person I spoke to in the city he
10:23
did say they're underst staffed which I
10:25
understand um they're training new
10:26
people but um he did say repeatedly can
10:30
you imagine if we did this all the time
10:32
and ticketed people we're allowed to do
10:33
this people can't park in Fr of fire
10:35
hydrates which I do understand but if um
10:38
I don't people Park where I parked all
10:40
the time it'll get ticketed and so I
10:42
think that it's really it's an un it's
10:45
an unequal application of the law to be
10:46
ticketing people sometimes when they
10:48
park there and some not other times um
10:50
and it also I recognize parking can be a
10:53
bit of a trivial issue however there are
10:55
in the ordinances it does say if you
10:57
don't pay your ticket in time you can
11:00
face actual jail time so um if people
11:04
are not they don't have the finances to
11:06
pay that they lose if you get more than
11:08
three tickets too you also get your car
11:10
booted so just that alone could help
11:12
prevent people from getting to work and
11:14
could potentially be to jail time for
11:15
them um and I was also told I was like I
11:20
did say on the phone I don't think I
11:21
should be I'm not going to plead guilty
11:23
to this I don't believe I'm guilty
11:24
that's not what the oran says and I was
11:25
told repeatedly in order to not get a
11:28
citation through the uh magisterial
11:30
judge you have to just not pay it and
11:32
wait to get a citation in the mail um
11:34
but that's also not true you can go on
11:35
you can go right on the website and um
11:38
uh dispute the ticket immediately which
11:40
was not what I was told by the city um
11:42
so I I do read ordinances from my job
11:45
every day so I recognize that I have a
11:47
bit of a leg up here but I don't know
11:48
how often this happening to other
11:49
residents and um I've had friends who
11:52
have dealt with the parking citations
11:53
before and um they've tried to go to the
11:56
district jge and talk about this and
11:58
it's also not going very well so thank
12:00
you for thank you for your
12:04
you is there anyone else in the middle
12:07
section that would like to offer a
12:12
comment good evening Council bear with
12:16
not uh really comfortable with speaking
12:19

apologize my name is Denzel I'm from the
12:32
Uptown section of Harrisburg uh and like
12:35
I said I'm coming down here to speak on

12:47
because it's helping two people it's
12:50
actually helping the person that you're
12:51
seeking to help and the person that's
12:54
doing the help as a uh credible
12:57
messenger um and it's
13:01
giving people that's been in trouble
13:04
with the law opportunities that's not
13:07
present that wasn't given before not to
13:10
mention like it's a lot going on in this
13:12
city and uh me personally I I would like
13:16
to be a part of the change of that so
13:17

resolution for consideration this
23:05
evening is resolution 52 of
23:08
2024 Mr trusdale could you please read
23:11
it into the record resolution 52 2024 a
23:15
resolution authorizing the city of
23:17
Harrisburg to negotiate and enter into a
23:19
Professional Services contract with
23:21
State Street strategies LLC doing
23:24
business as one plus strategies for
23:26
strategic guidance and intellig
23:28
gathering for lobbying related
23:32
Services thank you council members are
23:35
there any questions comments or concerns
23:38
related to resolution 52 of
23:47
comments so just to refresh everyone's
23:50
memory uh we discussed resolution 52 of
23:57
2024 during a work session that occurred
24:00
on Tuesday September 3rd
24:03
2024 at that time council members had
24:06
requested additional information from
24:09
administration uh clarifying the
24:15
process we did receive some
24:18
clarification but I'll fill in some of
24:26
2023 there was an email that was sent by
24:30
the former business administrator Mr
24:32
Hartman to four individuals that served
24:37
as the scoring committee uh for this
24:46
firm uh the controller Mr de Bruner vice
24:51
president green uh Miss Marita Kelly the
24:54
former Finance director and Miss Deborah
24:57
Robin son who works in the mayor's
25:00
office were all included on this email
25:04
um they were to return the scoring uh
25:09
matrix by Tuesday May
25:13
30th um by the next date I guess that we
25:18
learned or solve anything July 1st of
25:22
20124 is when uh the mayor received
25:28
or make communication with OnePlus
25:30
strategies relating to lobbying
25:33
Services um and then this resolution is
25:39
dated August the 26th of
25:42
2024 I did want to note that there were
25:45
previously we were told that five firms
25:48
applied and three were interviewed but
25:51
there are seven firms that are outlined
25:53
on this uh scoring Matrix and the
25:56
information that was shared with the uh
26:00
committee so I just wanted to clarify
26:07
don't I'll be voting no on this
26:10
resolution as we noted before um this
26:14
was tabled due to a lack of information
26:17
and two other council members expressed
26:19
concerns that lobbying Services just
26:22
were should not be a priority at this
26:25
time there are other um
26:29
cabinet level positions that are still
26:32
not filled and at this time I just don't
26:35
feel bringing on a lobbying firm is a
26:37
priority still um so I will be voting no
26:46
2024 Madam president just's a procedural
26:48
question and my brain is fuzzy okay if
26:51
the Council made a motion to table this
26:53
as opposed to just went back to
26:54
committee then you need a motion to put
26:56
it back on the table for it went back to
26:58
okay I misspoke okay I just couldn't
27:01
remember it was in committee it remained
27:03
in committee until we received the
27:05
information which we did we received
27:09
a sparse table that shared some of the
27:14
information but I wanted to just connect
27:16
some of those dots um that we missed the
27:18
first time around so it was not tabled
27:21
it was simply it remained in the
27:25
committee any further questions comments
27:28
concerns I just had one um good evening
27:31
again to everybody I just wanted to um
27:35
reiterate or just say that um my vote
27:38
will be no tonight too but not because
27:41
of anything with State Street strategies
27:44
LLC um I feel like they're a great
27:47
company I just feel like at this time
27:49
there are much more pressing things
27:51
within the city that are more important
27:54
than a Lobby um firm and hiring one and
27:57
there are people people right now that
27:59
are at um Capitol Hill that can help us
28:02
Lobby until we are in the position where
28:05
hiring a Lobby firm can be a priority
28:08
but right now our city um our youth and
28:12
what is happening with the gun violence
28:13
is a priority I'm making sure we have
28:17
not to say we wouldn't have the money
28:18
for the market but making sure
28:19
everything is in place with that and
28:22
that right now um with the cabinet
28:24
positions that need to be filled within
28:26
the administration that what that is
28:27
what number one and we can come back and
28:30
revisiting seeing about hiring a
28:33
lobbying firm so I just wanted
28:34
Harrisburg residents to know what my
28:36
stance was on that um and why I was
28:39
going to be voting no tonight thank
28:42
you thank you councilman Jones yes uh
28:47
thank you president Bowers I just want
28:48
to say as well that I uh share in the
28:51
sentiments of President uh Bowers and
28:53
councilwoman Ros um I do know that we
28:56
are in need of a a uh lobing firm but
29:00
there are too many holes in this
29:01
administration at the moment I think we
29:04
need to focus on those things and I'm
29:06
I'm pretty sure that we will be able to
29:07
re revisit this resolution um uh down
29:12
the road and so I just wanted to put
29:14
that on record as well that I share in
29:16
the sentiments of my colleagues thank
29:18
you thank you um Madam president um not
29:23
really echoing the sentiments of my
29:25
colleagues but sharing the same uh
29:27
frustrations and uh basically just
29:29
comments it's uh I'd rather see
29:32
resolutions more geared towards finding
29:35
solutions to homelessness or ending gun
29:37
violence or providing Second Chance
29:39
opportunities for offenders it's to see
29:42
this so far in the year especially
29:43
around budget season when we have so
29:45
many other important things so many much
29:48
more urgent matters to address and um
29:50
deal with that to will be the reason why
29:53
I'll be voting a negative on this
29:54
resolution but I too wanted to just make
29:56
it apparent and clear so thank you thank
30:00
you Mr chale could you please call the
30:10

30:14
