Council member Graham read the ordinance by title: “An ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with MS Consultants Inc. in the form attached hereto for professional services related to the 02/2025 street improvement project.” After the reading, council moved, seconded and recorded votes in favor to adopt the ordinance on first reading.

Members asked for clarification about which streets the project will include. A staff speaker and council members cited Taltman and Indian Lake as likely candidates and noted the work may tie to a new waterline, but staff told council they would provide a minimum list of streets for the next meeting.

During discussion a council member also raised a separate sewer-backup question relating to Brook Park; staff said property owners, not city infrastructure, appeared to be the cause in the incidents referenced and that any potential claim or lawsuit had not been confirmed in the meeting record.

The ordinance adoption was presented and approved during the meeting; council did not attach additional funds or implementation dates in the ordinance text read aloud. Council asked staff for more detailed street and schedule information at a future meeting.

The department said a rented vehicle was used in multiple incidents across several neighboring communities and that investigators used Flock license-plate camera footage to track it.

A police presenter described the sequence: officers learned that several cars near a church had been entered during an afternoon mass, and that the same vehicle later appeared in Niles. When investigators found the vehicle in Niles they discovered a stolen handgun and began a short pursuit; two males fled on foot and a female occupant was apprehended. The presenter said the group was linked to similar break-ins in at least five or six communities in the Cleveland area.

The department noted common patterns investigators associate with this series: a recently rented vehicle registered to a female renter, quick smash-and-grab entries, and attempts to pass stolen checks. The presenter told council the department recovered identifying footage from Flock cameras and was working with other jurisdictions to identify additional suspects.

Officers used the incidents to reiterate routine safety advice. “We always talk about lock your cars, keep them locked, don't leave valuables out in plain sight,” the presenter said, adding a recommendation: “I suggest locking your doors.”

The police report also noted a separate traffic incident that damaged street and traffic-control lights in the city square; detectives identified the vehicle via license-plate cameras and were investigating a related stolen-car report.

Council did not take any formal action during the report. Police asked residents to secure vehicles and report suspicious activity, and said investigators are coordinating with neighboring agencies on the multi-jurisdiction investigation.

Young said that upon entering the residence’s garage, officers found “an unconscious female seated in the driver's seat of a running vehicle,” and that Officer Roth “promptly turned off the vehicle, assessed the female's condition, and opened the garage door to begin ventilating the space.”

The council meeting included a swearing-in ceremony for newly hired officers and a promotion. Mayor Dragish administered oaths to newly appointed patrol sergeant Chad DeBart and to a newly sworn officer identified in the transcript as States Marie Harris (listed in the meeting as sworn in). Council members and Canfield Police leaders praised the recruits and emphasized recruitment and retention challenges facing the department.

The commendation and the swearing-in were presented alongside remarks about staffing. Police leaders told council that recent contract negotiations helped raise pay and support recruitment: “we were able to get our officers up where they need to be as far as pay goes,” Sergeant Young said, thanking council for support. The chief and others described difficulty recruiting qualified officers, noting officers leaving for higher pay or different agencies and calling local culture and council support important to retention.

Council took photos after the ceremony and staff invited families for department tours. The presentation and remarks underscored two strands of the department’s work presented to council—an immediate lifesaving response credited to Officer Roth and ongoing efforts to maintain staffing levels and train new personnel.

The city presented the March 8 address and time cited in the commendation and the names of the sworn officers during the meeting record; no disciplinary issues or follow-up actions were recorded during the item.

For residents, the meeting highlighted both an instance of a single officer's emergency response and the municipal steps being taken to recruit and keep officers on duty.

","At a Canfield City Council meeting, Sergeant Kyle Young presented a letter of commendation to Officer Emily Roth for a March 8 welfare check that located an unconscious woman in a running vehicle. Council and police leaders also swore in new hires and promoted a patrol sergeant while discussing recruitment and pay efforts.","actionData","errors"]
