  • City of Scranton Council Responses – June 16, 2026 | PDF

    Jun 16, 2026

    ·Scranton, PA
    Other

    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.

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The Scranton Fire Department is requesting City Council support to implement a Fire-Based Quick Response Service (QRS) program to provide rapid medical assistance during life-threatening emergencies. The Fire Department has completed all necessary training, licensing, and equipment acquisition, and its medical director has confirmed alignment with required protocols. Lackawanna County 911 Director Al Kearney has expressed unspecified reservations about the program, though the Fire Department notes that fire-based QRS systems are established best practice across Pennsylvania and have proven effective at decreasing response times. The Fire Department has conducted site visits to multiple Pennsylvania 911 centers that successfully dispatch fire-based QRS units and states the collective bargaining agreement supports this operational enhancement. The department requests City Council facilitate coordinated implementation with Lackawanna County 911 to improve medical response times.

  • Elevation Certificate

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    This document is the 2019 edition of the National Flood Insurance Program Elevation Certificate and instructions issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Elevation Certificate serves as an administrative tool to provide elevation information for compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine proper insurance premium rates, and to support requests for Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letters of Map Revision based on fill (LOMR-F). The form requires an estimated average burden of 3.75 hours per response to complete. The certificate is required to properly rate Post-FIRM buildings (those constructed after publication of the Flood Insurance Rate Map) located in designated flood insurance zones including A1–A30, AE, AH, A, VE, and V1–V30 zones. Disclosure of information on the form is voluntary, though failure to provide requested information may result in inability to obtain flood insurance through NFIP or may subject applicants to higher premium rates.

  • Letter of Support - City of Humble

    The City of Humble sent a letter of support to Governor Greg Abbott on March 29, 2023, requesting state funding for the Lake Houston Dam Spillway Improvement Project.

Mayor Norman Funderburk emphasized that the city and regional partners have fulfilled their responsibilities and called on the state to follow through on its post-Harvey commitments to protect Humble's residents and businesses.

  • Snow FAQs

    Bethlehem, PA

    The City of Bethlehem's snow removal FAQ document outlines the city's winter storm response procedures and resident responsibilities. The Director of Public Works, Streets Superintendent, and Police Chief recommend snow emergency declarations to the Mayor; once declared, residents have four hours to remove vehicles from streets. The city pre-treats streets within 48 hours of a storm's start, applies road salt to main streets during storms, and plows main routes first, followed by secondary residential areas and smaller streets. Property owners must remove snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall, with a minimum cleared width of 3 feet, and are responsible for clearing adjacent handicapped ramps. Shoveling snow into public streets is prohibited and subject to police citations; snow plow damage claims should be reported to the City Law Bureau at 610-865-7011, and sidewalk snow removal questions can be directed to the Engineering Bureau at 610-865-7063.
