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

7:48

right

7:50

here it's

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

8:04

two weeks ago now um

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

12:02

time thank

12:04

you is there anyone else in the middle

12:07

section that would like to offer a

12:54

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

23:45

2024 okay I have

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

24:08

the

24:09

administration uh clarifying the

24:11

timeline of the RFP

24:15

process we did receive some

24:18

clarification but I'll fill in some of

24:20

those

24:21

gaps on May 22nd 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

24:41

particular

24:44

um lobbying

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

26:03

that um I

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

26:41

on resolution 52 of

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

26:57

committee

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

27:23

administration

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
