  • 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.

  • Redlining in Evanston

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document traces the history of racial discrimination and housing segregation in Evanston, Illinois from 1860 to 1958. Key developments include Illinois repealing its 1853 act barring Black residency in 1865, though Evanston adopted Jim Crow policies between 1900 and the 1930s through exclusionary tactics and racial covenants prohibiting home sales to non-Caucasians. In 1920–1927, Chicago attorney Nathan MacChesney drafted a Code of Ethics addition forbidding realtors from introducing members of other races into certain neighborhoods and created a model racially restrictive covenant targeting "Colored" people for the Chicago Real Estate Board. The 1930 Home Owners Loan Corporation residential security maps graded lending risks across over 200 cities, with Evanston's Fifth Ward designated as redlined (D2 rating), based partly on HOLC statements characterizing Black population growth as "quite a serious problem." By 1948, a mass meeting addressed the city's failure to provide housing for Black residents, and a 1948 judgment ruled against Evanston's attempt to restrict veteran housing for Black residents. In January 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. visited Beth Emet the Free Synagogue in Evanston to speak on integration.
