The City of Scranton submitted its 2024 Operating Budget on November 6, 2023, under Mayor Paige G. Cognetti and Business Administrator Eileen Cipriani, which includes estimated revenues from taxes and fees alongside detailed departmental expenditures that do not exceed projected income. The budget narrative highlights ongoing economic challenges including interest rate volatility, rising housing costs, and workforce pressures, while noting that Scranton has achieved budget surpluses in 2020–2022 and is tracking well in 2023 through careful expenditure management and healthcare cost reductions. The city is incrementally raising employee salaries to improve competitiveness with comparable Pennsylvania municipalities, and has issued a $4,070,000 General Obligation Note in 2023 for capital expenditures while minimizing increases to 2024 debt service; the city has also adopted Investment, Fund Balance, and Debt Management policies and created an Other Post Employment Benefits Trust to manage long-term liabilities.
