Moosic Borough

What Moosic Borough does

Moosic Borough is a municipal government entity operating under Pennsylvania state law, serving residents and property owners in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Its headquarters is located at 715 Main Street, Moosic, with borough office hours Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. The borough delivers core municipal services through dedicated departments including Administration, Public Works (street maintenance, paving, snow removal, sewer cleaning, yard waste), Police (24/7 coverage across approximately 39 miles of local, county, and state roads), Fire (volunteer Greenwood Hose Company #1), Zoning, Code Enforcement, Health Inspector, and Open Records Office. It also manages parks and recreation facilities (Felter Field, Ken Smerdon Field, Kobesky Field, Mary Ann Nawrocki Park, Mercatili-Segilia Park, William T. Quinlin Sports Complex), garbage and recycling collection, and special bulk item pickup services.

The borough's service architecture is conventional municipal rather than technology-platform-based. Digital infrastructure includes an official website (moosicborough.com) hosting news, calendars, and public documents, an online tax and fee payment portal via Xpress-pay and GovTeller (a service of Convenient Payments, LLC), social media engagement through Facebook and X/Twitter (@moosic94), event calendar integration with Google Calendar and iCal/Outlook, and a public records portal through ecode360. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or software product is disclosed.

Moosic Borough is governed by an elected Mayor and Borough Council, with operational leadership from a Borough Administrator. It is publicly owned and operates for the benefit of borough residents rather than as a commercial entity. Revenue is generated through local taxation, fees (commercial solicitor permits at $25/person/day, bulk item pickup at $10-$35, Hometown Heroes Banner Program at $200), and intergovernmental transfers — not through commercial sales. Workforce size is 51-100 employees. Key external relationships include Lackawanna County (county government oversight), Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (administrative membership), and payment processing vendors.
