Wilkes-Barre council approves consent agenda and minutes
Summary
The Wilkes-Barre City Council approved its consent agenda, resolutions and minutes after a roll-call vote. The motion passed unanimously; council also heard public comments on local drainage and encampment issues and received a bridge update from staff.
The Wilkes-Barre City Council opened its regular session with roll call and approved the consent agenda, resolutions and minutes following a motion by Mr. Barrett and a second by Mr. Brooks. In a roll-call vote, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Merin, Mr. Gushko and Mrs. Mcclelay voted in favor.
The approval covered routine items, with no recorded dissents. Council then moved on to routine announcements and public-comment items, including a resident complaint about persistent stormwater problems on Darling Street and a business owner's concern about a nearby homeless encampment.
City staff also provided a brief update on the North Washington Street bridge, saying property valuation discussions are underway and that final plans and bidding can proceed once those valuations are resolved or funds are placed under the condemnation statute.
