    The City of Scranton administration prepared responses to City Council questions from the June 9, 2026 meeting, dated June 16, 2026. Council President Tom Schuster raised five matters: the administration declined to meet separately with PA Ambulance before issuing a Request for Proposals, citing fairness concerns, and instead directed Fitch & Associates to prepare an RFP with input from City Administration. Regarding the Emergency Operations & Training Center, the administration clarified that the facility has two components—an Emergency Operations Center for Scranton city use and potential Lackawanna County backup, and a Training Center available for regional use with terms to be determined once the project advances and grant funding is secured. The administration did not provide specific salary projections for ARPA-funded staffers in 2027 and beyond, instead redirecting to another agenda item response. For a sunken pavement cut at N Main Avenue & Clearview Street, the city will file a complaint with PennDOT as that section is state-owned and maintained. Code Enforcement, the Scranton Police Department, and the Department of Public Works were asked to address unspecified issues at Frank Grippo & Son Auto Body at 1503 N Main Avenue.
