He said the City Easter Egg Hunt will be Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Lattie J. Theodore Field at the C. Balcheck Complex, with entry through the Euclid parking lot. Light City Church will provide face painting and hot dogs, and, in cooperation with God’s Warehouse, will distribute 100 grocery bags to the first 100 people beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the Euclid parking lot.

Mayor Miller also reported a Maple Crest egg hunt will follow on April 12 beginning at 1 p.m., with the hunt starting promptly at 1:30 p.m., refreshments and pictures with the Easter bunny; the mayor said the event will take place rain or shine. He noted the city may move the hunt inside the field house depending on conditions.

The mayor announced the Rescue Mission in the Mahoning Valley has planned a dress-down day event with specific dates for wearing Pirates and Guardians gear to support the mission, and reminded residents that Steel Valley Athletics registration for season 2 is online and free. He also mentioned a St. Nick school fish fry and other routine community reminders.

On utilities, Mayor Miller said AQUA has started spring hydrant flushing and cautioned residents that water discoloration or a temporary drop in pressure may occur while crews are flushing. He said there should be no interruption of service and advised residents to avoid doing laundry during flushing if possible and to run cold taps until the water clears.

Ending: These were announcements and public-service notices; council took no formal action during the caucus on any of the events or the utility maintenance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Struthers Council Caucus Review","oneSentenceSummary","Mayor Miller outlined the city’s spring calendar at the caucus: two Easter egg hunts April 12, a grocery giveaway, the Steel Valley athletics registration, AQUA’s hydrant flushing schedule, and local charity dress-down days.","taxTitle","Struthers City Council, Struthers, Mahoning County, Ohio","taxId",72187,"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},6100866,"Mahoning County Land Bank delays planned home demolitions in Struthers until fall, city safety director says",34,475025,509634,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2811760-6763e8a96f9e3073c99bb36d141a03fd&start=475&end=509","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2811760-6763e8a96f9e3073c99bb36d141a03fd/thumbnail_475025.jpg","/articles/6100866/Ohio/Mahoning-County-Land-Bank-delays-planned-home-demolitions-in-Struthers-until-fall-city-safety-director-says","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100866-f4d7ce7897284fd9f9639a7575d99753/orig.mp4?Expires=1775635435&Signature=Y8DPDb3siw31bWZbsYAgSpRHf7EbObVjNd5o722GYSNSKiJUao4JQ~DFsnRHCgqP8U~BIzOv4PanKCxE9zQ36O1Jn6b950f9lO-NiIX68GN~WzrBwPMUj2YBUFJAJHpSj2MzOHmquM-6Xe0fYU7B7odL4fOkJoOuN377O-ccFYSzFUvrxi-~jOeljDsHg85dVQZEa5hunRykiI~Nn8BwcpccUQcnYJi40qcWyZv-SP2bIWGRH8nBz6~bP01ayAVVVIzvEOO~tf3Wr~RSeN363r1Du4PvaLr~059-~ulQ3gC0VcXcacbHhLr0EV-gc8f3xxZpr6OfU0~1H~DOxeK08w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Safety Director Bob reported the Mahoning County Land Bank notified the city of delays in a demolition program that covers properties in Struthers. He said glitches in the contract process between the county and the State of Ohio have postponed activity and that the Land Bank does not expect demolitions to occur until the fall.

“I got emailed today from Mahoning County Land Bank. The grant and everything with the ... development for demoing our houses, there was some glitches, and they're just now signing the final contract with the state of Ohio,” Safety Director Bob said. He described a timeline the Land Bank provided: about 30 days to perform abatements and another 30 to 45 days for greening after contract signing, with demolition expected afterward.

The safety director said the delay affects a group of five houses the city has sought to have demolished for roughly a year and a half. When asked whether the city had acquired Land Bank parcels in Edison, the safety director said the city had secured a small parcel that will be split between two neighbors and that acquisition paperwork “came in today.” He added that the larger group of five houses remains on the Land Bank schedule and will be handled when the county/state process is complete.

No formal action was taken during the caucus; the report was informational. The safety director said the county and state were handling contractual matters and estimated the full process would take four to six months once the contract is signed.

Ending: City staff will continue to track the Land Bank contract and demolition schedule; council did not vote on any acquisition or demolition during the caucus.","Safety Director Bob told the Struthers caucus the Mahoning County Land Bank is finalizing a contract with the State of Ohio, delaying planned demolitions of five properties; the Land Bank expects abatement and greening work to begin after contract signing and demolition possibly in the fall.",{"_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},6100871,"Struthers awarded JAG funds for license-plate readers; city plans initial Flock camera installations",68,175795,244625,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2811760-6763e8a96f9e3073c99bb36d141a03fd&start=175&end=244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2811760-6763e8a96f9e3073c99bb36d141a03fd/thumbnail_175795.jpg","/articles/6100871/Ohio/Struthers-awarded-JAG-funds-for-license-plate-readers-city-plans-initial-Flock-camera-installations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100871-05f85d2424a68e36e926816e3eb814c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775635435&Signature=MejjPpiSU3XYVA6h~aQfz2ejt3x7if8TCN6wrS-3x8XfwqLd~LnFZGEJU4xs2fftbDYlzVRz4wsBVzaOKQEVHFp5P5m1rfY54cSxj0QfXQx6r4MqQ1kS5UtktAb8~LXClMNBftGO7x2C~yB1qSgX5wUaMrGS8NKq0ygq6cHerrMrKooKFFrJ05t31Pgm86DT0jQWUHTNOUvSrYnXTcmmouUL8KCXwMxHr1WMIFCbk2DGgja-anVulNEMLds2VcFIo9Aoo6UTZrPRfR2O4KDRD4jueF8PGMaknsvBx3HQ5dsQlU8h4YqPBhDRa2w4vQUMp1UNr7SVbeRAQE35qwQrfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Miller told the caucus the Office of Criminal Justice Services awarded a statewide set of JAG grants and Struthers received $13,687.50 to start installing license-plate reader cameras known as Flock cameras.

“The Office of Criminal Justice Service announced that over 4,500,000.0 in federal, Edward J Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants... Struthers was 1 of 6 grants in the county. We received $13,687.50 for some of our flock cameras,” Mayor Miller said during his report. He thanked KO Consulting and “Matthew” for assistance with the grant application.

The mayor described the devices as license-plate readers, not speed cameras, and said this funding will start the city’s participation in the Flock network. “These are just, license plate readers,” he said, adding the city has another grant submission pending for additional cameras and the current award will give the city access to the system.

A council member asked, “How many of those FLOT cameras do we need?” Mayor Miller responded that the pending grant request is for 10 cameras and the current award will cover three or four installations to start; he said placements are planned for main entrance and exit points and that cameras can be moved as needed. He said schools have participated in the Flock program in other communities and that Superintendent Pete Perron had been contacted.

No formal ordinance or procurement vote was taken during the caucus. Mayor Miller said staff would bring a vendor representative to a future meeting to explain how the cameras function and how they will be used.

Ending: Council received the report and asked for more information; no procurement or policy decision was made at the caucus.","Council heard that Struthers received $13,687.50 from a federal Edward J.

The mayor opened the Caucus by announcing, “we just received 2 more grants,” and said one was for a chloride reduction effort that covered supplies but not the primary piece of equipment. He said, “we got just the supplies for it. So we didn't get the main thing, but we got portion of the grant.”

Mayor Miller also reported a second grant that will provide 80 bike helmets for distribution with the city police and fire departments. “It's called he put a lid on a campaign,” he said, using the words from his report. He said the helmets would be distributed at the elementary school in coordination with the superintendent and principals, though distribution details are “not specified.”

The announcements were delivered during the council’s caucus meeting; no formal vote or ordinance accompanied the grant notices. Mayor Miller acknowledged an earlier, similar helmet grant awarded about four years ago and said the city will repeat that program this year.

The mayor thanked KO Consulting and “Matthew” for help securing other grants discussed later in the meeting. No application or contract documents were presented in the caucus; staff will provide implementation details to council as they are finalized.

Ending: The council did not take formal action on these grants during the caucus; Mayor Miller said further information on implementation and distribution logistics will be coordinated with school administrators and returned to council when available.","Mayor Miller told the Struthers City Council caucus the city recently secured two grants: a partial award supporting a chloride-reduction project and a grant for 80 bike helmets to distribute with local schools and safety departments.","actionData","errors"]
