City Council adopts contract with PeopleGuru for payroll processing

The Scranton City Council voted to take Resolution 235 of 2025 from the table and approved a contract with PeopleGuru, Inc., to provide payroll processing services for the city. The council moved to take the resolution from the table and later, following committee recommendation, voted on final passage.

Council members recorded on the roll call as voting in favor included Mr. King, Mr. Shuster, Dr. Rothchild and Mr. Smirrell; the council declared item 7a legally and lawfully adopted. The resolution authorizes the mayor and other appropriate city officials to execute a contract with PeopleGuru to perform payroll processing services; the contract text and procurement backup were referenced in committee and made available as part of the legislative packet.

Council members noted the previous payroll vendor (referred to in the meeting as “we pay”) did not submit a bid for the current solicitation. The committee on rules recommended final passage before the full council vote.

The action was presented and adopted as a formal resolution; the meeting record shows a motion to remove the item from the table, a second, committee recommendation for final passage, and a roll-call vote that resulted in adoption.

The council did not state contract dollar amounts or the contract term on the floor during the recorded portion of the meeting; those specifics appear in the contract backup materials and were not read into the record during the roll call.

The resolution's adoption was the final formal action recorded on the agenda before the meeting adjourned.
