Council then voted on a motion to appoint a standing acting manager for periods when the city manager is absent. The council described the appointment as a succession list so that the city does not have to hold a special meeting each time an acting manager is needed. The motion to appoint an acting manager was read and moved by Mr. Graham and seconded by Mr. Dreyfus; the council approved the appointment by roll call.

Councilors commented that the annual action establishes an existing succession process and will allow staff continuity during planned or unplanned absences; no further policy changes were made during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Canfield - 01/02/2025 City Council Meeting - Jan 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Canfield City Council voted to dispense with full reading of a proposed motion and approved an annual standing appointment of an acting city manager to cover planned or unplanned absences; both motions passed by roll call vote.","taxTitle","Canfield City Council, Canfield, Mahoning County, Ohio","taxId",72714,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6674227,"Council debates who should pay Redgate infrastructure as permit-fee revenue lags",170,434000,604000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2064761-d6c4ae066fbffc5c6fc32114403ccedc&start=434&end=604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2064761-d6c4ae066fbffc5c6fc32114403ccedc/thumbnail_434000.jpg","/articles/6674227/Ohio/Council-debates-who-should-pay-Redgate-infrastructure-as-permit-fee-revenue-lags","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674227-8242fc9b584ee674230177f75d2f9b1a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171610&Signature=fCsV5EevqNy7IjTfhLOyzdHv6pRrqktytwjRDLN5wmxnndgCiEW5PiDaHbpwg-zZT3uX1QBCYHC2nERYNGYtOVoEmL3gIs1KvxQpItek9d8xXMVy0fuM4yw4EAGciM2h2eFUJAtAnzta0oq70v6zINI8UvusS3KgI0E9I9iRWSamtJKfAEAfTWoSjREQSy1p98bF1lJjJT0J17sAx2C7w38LZ2N99xOHSgJpWh42Ogr7OqcrELmcDbkjcQd0YSJFoJKaf4Iz724OAulKa7hxHyu6iDBVBVD8hSAEBZoLzHT13Y7G2J1OliT2ui1asB0rM6GrFroyIDAnmq30wz~wQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilors and staff discussed infrastructure needs tied to the Redgate development and whether the city should front installation costs or require developers to pay at build-out.

At a zoning report, a council member asked whether the city would assume responsibility for the full cost of installing infrastructure in Redgate, noting such a shift would represent a change in policy from a decades-long practice of having developers pay construction costs. The discussion referenced two past projects in which the city took a loan and then established a special assessment against individual lots to recoup the cost.

Planning and zoning staff asked for written infrastructure requests and for staged implementation options so the city could evaluate costs and obligations before any change in policy. Council asked the finance director to analyze past development financing arrangements and special-assessment results to inform decisions.

Councilors also heard that permit activity has slowed. Planning staff reported that in 2024 the city issued 171 permits totaling $52,561.91 in fees, with an average valuation figure discussed in the report. Finance staff and councilors said the city faces a budgeting challenge because the timing of permit-driven repayments from a prior loan is slower than projected; one councilor said the permit pace may not generate enough revenue to cover loan interest unless permit activity increases.

Councilors did not adopt a new financing policy during the meeting but directed staff to return with analysis and written infrastructure requests to support a staged implementation or an assessment model.","Canfield councilors discussed whether the city or developers should front infrastructure costs for the Redgate development and noted a separate budget concern: permit revenue for 2024 fell short of projections, complicating loan repayment plans tied to development activity.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6674231,"Canfield leaders describe EPA order, plan town hall after Sawmill Creek contamination agreement with MSC",768,1266000,2034000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2064761-d6c4ae066fbffc5c6fc32114403ccedc&start=1266&end=2034","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2064761-d6c4ae066fbffc5c6fc32114403ccedc/thumbnail_1266000.jpg","/articles/6674231/Ohio/Canfield-leaders-describe-EPA-order-plan-town-hall-after-Sawmill-Creek-contamination-agreement-with-MSC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674231-88a287f8e0ef34bd4895761c6e697043/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171610&Signature=nyDe9n6stXp~Ap9dh59Epbi6fs-9AFpth3UqlFEI33v7-XelZNZ3eLXE1~m4K6Uoyp1ibtSgEJKyIKgK6sgAV7Do6N0NiiluinuhdB06wLMF7fwpxVyzWRRTdEyuGsM2QVmP4fIWYORdBn031x0H~3fpdyuyC3vWrj9t8MlQyVAXQ4gnhOB5IoA8hNBfnid7I6gzPpznL6nKRmn1PKcI0ZOk04mw06nyZBZIcichR-J0kfHu5~cVnF0FV8OuqlH3z5-6rO4tgF-KevtiVe4ycQZUC3Q769wQXPKpk8cTfzI0mfG2b2d-39Y37ChLBA7Ok2AqgMKEl8R9A6x1rmVKTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Manager Mr. Capolito told the Canfield City Council that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and manufacturer MSC have reached a formal document that sets out corrective actions for contamination affecting Sawmill Creek and nearby properties.

\"This is going to take some time in terms of the cleanup,\" Mr. Capolito said, describing the EPA order as a structured agreement that requires MSC to submit corrective-action plans for EPA approval. He said the document addresses both the recent discharge and historical contamination and leaves open further remediation if additional contamination is discovered.

Capolito said EPA and MSC will conduct air-quality testing at the local school district and that outreach to adjacent property owners is under way. He said the immediate priority has been to stop and capture the leak and that the new agreement moves the work into a remediation phase overseen by EPA.

Council members discussed organizing a public town hall so residents can ask questions directly of the agencies and companies involved. Councilors and staff listed possible participants for the meeting: the EPA, MSC, the Canfield Local School District, the fire department, Mahoning County HAZMAT, representatives from Oak Creek Park, and the company handling remediation work. Council members said they want the responsible parties to answer resident questions in person.

Council and staff said they had received voluminous documents: Capolito handed each council member a 23-page document described as the EPA agreement and referenced an additional multi-thousand-page set of materials available on MSC's website. Capolito said the EPA's order requires corrective-action plans and that the city is following EPA reporting and approvals.

Officials said the city will not rely solely on MSC's statements and that testing and verification by EPA and county HAZMAT teams will continue. Council members agreed to coordinate a town-hall meeting in roughly 30 days and to notify residents once a date, location and participant list are set.","City officials told the Canfield City Council that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a corrective-action order with MSC covering a leak and historical contamination around Sawmill Creek; council members said EPA-approved cleanup plans and community outreach are now the framework and they plan a public town hall within about 30 days.","actionData","errors"]
