I represent Steve Mandy. He was a City of Lackawanna Police Office for many years. He was born on September 2, 1936. He would like to request that the City of Lackawanna give him his police badge. I appreciate your cooperation. CHARLES S. DESMOND, II, ESQUIRE Dear Member of the Lackawanna City Council and Mayor, I am asking you to reinstate just my gold detective badge. I was demoted from Detective to Patrolman, only because I didn’t buy 4‐250 tickets for the former Mayor’s private party. This was a political move on his part. If you check the record you will see I did nothing wrong. No Mayor or Council ever knew that I had acquired 13 informers throughout the City and surround towns. One of my informers took an under‐cover State Police Officer and made over 26 drug buys, the largest in Lackawanna at that time. Even in that time Judge Marrano signed two of my arrest warrants. When my demotion occurred most of my informants dried up. I am not asking for much, just a little dignity for the time I have left. STEVE MANDY, RESIDENT Moved by Marrano second by Anderson to pass a resolution out of respect and in support of this request to present a commemorative badge to Steve Mandy. Yeas: Muflahi, Anderson, Marrano No: Meegan, Surdyke Carried 3‐2 Dean Smith, resident requests the City Council discuss the traffic safety on Orchard Place and to reevaluate one‐way traffic and immediate safety measures. 13. Please place the following item on the next available City Council agenda: Orchard Place Traffic Safety: Request to Evaluate One‐Way Traffic and immediate Safety Measures. Ms. Marrano, I, live on Orchard Place near a school and playground. I’m reporting that drivers travel at excessive speeds, that school zone signage is missing or inadequate, and that motorists fail to stop at the sign near my home. I am asking the City to consider making Orchard Place a one‐way street or to consider speed bumps. Please refer this matter for Council discussion and request a traffic‐safety review of Orchard Place. The review should assess the feasibility and impacts of one‐way traffic, vehicle speeds, school zones and other warning signage, stop sign visibility and compliance and any appropriate enforcement or other immediate safety measures. Please also ask the responsible City departments to report their findings and recommendation to Council. Children and families should be able to travel to and from the nearby school and playground safely. Please confirm receipt of this request and let me know whether it will be placed on the agenda.
