    This document contains written responses from City of Scranton administration to questions raised by Council President Tom Schuster at a June 16, 2026 council meeting. Regarding the problem property at 1708 Wayne Avenue, the city advised the homeowner it could be designated a nuisance based on police call volume, with tenants currently under eviction pending appeal; a rental inspection was begun on April 10 but the second reinspection remains unscheduled and the property has not yet passed. Police Department records show approximately eleven incidents at the property since January 1, 2026, while the Fire Department responded twice in 2026 for basement flooding. The administration clarified that the pending RFP being prepared is separate from the EMS Feasibility Study conducted by Fitch & Associates, which evaluated the current EMS system and made recommendations based on response performance and financial impact.

    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.

    This document records responses from City of Scranton administration to questions posed by council members during a May 5, 2026 meeting, prepared on May 11, 2026. Council President Tom Schuster inquired about a $58,000 line item increase plus an additional $5,000 increase for St. Cats & Dogs in the 2026 budget, requesting a progress report and status update on the organization's usage of the Ash Street property; the City stated it has requested an update from St. Cats & Dogs. Schuster also asked about the Davis Street Apartment project on the 3100 Block of Cedar Avenue, which holds a five-year planning commission approval; the city clarified that no permits or plans have been submitted and the project cannot move forward without passage of a one-way ordinance that the planning commission made a condition of approval. Council member Dr. Jessica Rothchild raised concerns about tree cutting on private property in the Upper East Mountain area and received clarification that the Shade Tree Commission only regulates city rights-of-way and city-owned properties, with no prohibition on private owners removing trees from their own property. Dr. Rothchild also commended the Robinson Park project and raised two maintenance issues: gravel from a drain area being kicked onto the playground equipment, and worn ground beneath swings creating a safety hazard.

    On February 10, 2026, the City Council received responses to questions from a February 3 meeting, primarily addressing pave cut inspections for the Green Ridge water company project and ARPA grant allocation. The city confirmed that Pennoni conducts weekly inspections of utility work, documents findings in reports tied to specific permits, and notifies utilities of deficiencies—with violations issued if issues are not timely addressed; temporary cold patch repairs are being used due to winter weather conditions preventing hot-mix asphalt installation. The administration also provided details on ARPA grant tracking through subrecipient check-ins and quarterly reports, and listed specific allocations to organizations including NeighborWorks (business façade, home buyer, and home rehabilitation programs totaling approximately $865,881) and United Neighborhood Centers (business façade and disaster relief totaling approximately $129,930).
