The Scranton City Council convened on September 30, 2025, to address several resolutions and ordinances, primarily focused on correcting previous resolutions and advancing the 2026 capital budget.
The meeting began with a series of motions to amend resolutions. The first motion involved correcting resolution number 256 of 2025, changing the wording from "Scranton Cultural Center" to "Scranton Fire Department." This motion received unanimous approval.
Subsequent motions followed a similar pattern, with council members proposing corrections to resolutions 256, 257, and 258 of 2025. Notably, resolution 257 was amended to replace "University of Scranton" with "Westin Park Baseball," while resolution 258 reverted back to "Scranton Cultural Center." Each of these corrections was met with approval from the council.
The council also addressed resolution number 259 of 2025, which corrected the wording from "University of Scranton" to "Providence Pregnancy Center." This motion, too, passed without opposition.
In addition to the corrections, the council moved to take from the table file council number 91 of 2025, which pertains to the 2026 capital budget. A public hearing on this budget had been held the previous week. The motion to advance this file for a final vote was approved.
Finally, the council took action on file council number 95 of 2025, also moving it from the table for a final vote.
Overall, the meeting focused on ensuring the accuracy of city resolutions and advancing critical budgetary matters, reflecting the council's commitment to maintaining clear and precise governance.
