At-a-glance: council votes on appointments, bridge funding, audit contract and demolition resolution
Summary
Council approved the reappointment of Doris Kowski to the Human Relations Commission, transferred multimodal funds to the Myrtle Street Bridge project, awarded audit services to Clifton Larson Allen LLP, and amended a previously tabled demolition item to permit teardown of the Mattis Law Office; roll calls were recorded for each final passage.
At its meeting, Scranton City Council recorded final passage by roll call on several items:
- Resolution 7A: Reappointment of Doris Kowski to the Scranton Human Relations Commission for a term expiring Feb. 23, 2031. Roll call recorded unanimous approval.
- Resolution 7B: Amendment of prior multimodal transportation awards to permit the use of $1,110,200 and $1,395,860 (project IDs noted in the agenda) for replacement of the Myrtle Street Bridge; chair reported funding originally secured for another bridge was reallocated after inspection showed Myrtle Street in greater need. Roll call recorded unanimous approval.
- Resolution 7C: Authorization for the mayor and other city officials to execute a contract with Clifton Larson Allen LLP for independent audit and single-audit services; roll call recorded unanimous approval.
- Resolution 7D (amended): A previously tabled item concerning the Mattis Law Office at 324 North Washington Avenue was amended on the floor to change language from denying to allowing a certificate of appropriateness; council then adopted the amended resolution permitting demolition. The vote was unanimous on the roll call recorded in the meeting.
The meeting adjourned immediately after final passage of the amended 7D item. No additional financial appropriations or dates for implementation were specified for the demolition item in the meeting record.
