    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.

    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.
