    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.

  • Floodplain Ordinance

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton, Pennsylvania floodplain ordinance (Chapter 445, Article V, § 445-51), amended July 28, 2020, establishes floodplain management requirements intended to promote public health and safety, encourage appropriate construction practices to minimize flood damage, protect water supply and natural drainage, and reduce financial burdens from excessive development in flood-prone areas while complying with federal and state requirements. The ordinance designates the City Planner within the Department of Licensing, Inspections and Permits as the Floodplain Administrator responsible for administering and enforcing the section. Construction or development anywhere within City of Scranton floodplain areas is unlawful without a permit obtained from the Floodplain Administrator. The ordinance supersedes conflicting provisions in identified floodplain areas but does not create liability for the City or its officers for flood damages resulting from reliance on the ordinance or administrative decisions made under it, and acknowledges that floods larger than those used for regulatory purposes may occur.

  • We purchased a severely blighted property in Pottsville

    Pottsville, PA
    Other

    Bobby Weaver, a property owner in Pottsville, PA, describes his experience renovating a severely blighted property using approximately $700,000 in financing from local redevelopment authorities, loans, and grants, but encountered significant obstacles due to code enforcement issues. He identifies three main problems: code officials are risk-averse and poorly educated (requiring only 3 hours of study to become licensed), local officials incorrectly apply the International Building Code instead of Pennsylvania's own Uniform Construction Code, and the confusion between these standards has left his project only half-completed despite engaging 3 architects and 4 lawyers. Weaver proposes legislative solutions to clarify Pennsylvania's existing UCC provisions for historic and uncertified buildings built before 1927, which would provide alternative compliance pathways such as hardwired fire alarms instead of sprinkler systems.
