Key items presented included: a proposed $975,000 agreement with NESCO Resource LLC for a TANF summer youth program (Job and Family Services); an amendment to extend the county's tax-preparation and mailing agreement with DividoData for two years (Treasurer); a three-year online learning purchase through Omnia (CaraSoft/Udemy) with an estimated first-year cost of $103,506 (HR and IT); and a fifth amendment to a sublease with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for the county's community-based correctional facility in the amount of $477,000.

Other procurements and resolutions presented included a generator purchase and installation for a communications tower with C and R Electric ($11,975); right-of-way acquisition work for the Glenwood Avenue project (MS Consultants $50,475; Bowman appraisal $5,525; 90% ODOT funds noted); a lawn-care agreement with PLB Ground Maintenance LLC (estimated $14,000, general fund); replacement/relocation of an air-handler unit and related purchasing through Johnson Controls (estimated $265,748); a Sourcewell cooperative purchase of a 2025 Ford Explorer ($42,409.28); a 0.0315-acre waterline easement for Aqua Ohio in Boardman Township; and acceptance of a 2025 Marine Patrol Assistance Grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for $43,267.10 with a 25% required match (Sheriff's Office).

Commission staff noted that certain resolutions are required by statute, for example renewing depository agreements every four years under the Ohio Revised Code. Presenters also said the Glenwood Avenue right-of-way work is largely funded by ODOT and that purchases used cooperative purchasing programs such as Sourcewell and Omnia.

The meeting record includes a roll-call confirmation of two resolutions and a motion to adjourn; the roll-call vote recorded “yes” from all three commissioners on those confirmations. Many of the individual items were presented for approval in the business agenda; formal separate roll-call votes for each item were not transcribed in full in the public remarks recorded here.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 22, 2025 Mahoning County Commissioners' Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At the meeting commissioners heard multiple department reports and resolutions: a $975,000 TANF summer youth contract, an estimated $103,506 purchase for online learning, a $477,000 correctional sublease amendment and several smaller procurement items; two resolutions were confirmed by roll call.","taxTitle","Mahoning County, Ohio","taxId",3816,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6228329,"Resident tells commissioners Mahoning County, Pulaski Township dispute leaves his Villa Marie Road property without maintenance",180,521000,701000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3475972-eb86937b061f7990ed099a942ce4be5f&start=521&end=701","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3475972-eb86937b061f7990ed099a942ce4be5f/thumbnail_521000.jpg","/articles/6228329/Mahoning-County/Ohio/Resident-tells-commissioners-Mahoning-County-Pulaski-Township-dispute-leaves-his-Villa-Marie-Road-property-without-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228329-76886fc5482dd02b57ef03b4166271a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771104754&Signature=X0rxDkcbKUq7RvvhK32B3ckyv9HUuKkIyx3U4rjKUsTOJQFJlfwp98yS-d~oQwx-WXuEw007cX23Dy6p-RGN~qZ-pp82l~TqowI8hZocXAuRP6-iZuPxL0lczMeFqnBCYf78tKRJnGViyHxz-RCxa7o8ARhFUqEG7aSVhvD56OiwMa7Q~ELzw7p298vfVvqGcNYLi5cWIzcepM38KyYX8HQvt5X8ICFaeWR91s6AUZUaamgKm8vKPrnXMhzvbfAtQwl78~v9eKrhEw1QKh~3nBOvNmOgGVfnc2VHGqhhvdfMcXZ6rxdmagzUKiDULL2HplTgPHPb~H5l0PFVYhF8Qg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Gary Fiorini of 6972 Villa Marie Road told the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners he has spent about 20 years trying to get the road and roadside in front of his property maintained and that neither the county nor Pulaski Township is taking responsibility.

Fiorini told commissioners a county agreement with Pulaski Township means the township maintains State Line Road but stops at the beginning of his property line; he said the result is a strip of unmaintained land he must constantly repair. “I want something done about it. I mean, I'm getting tired. It's 20 years,” Fiorini said.

He also reported repeated damage from out-of-state garbage trucks that use Stateline and Villa Marie to turn around, saying semi trucks have knocked down mailboxes and damaged yards. Fiorini said he has asked police to call truck companies or use GPS enforcement but was told to handle that himself.

A county official told Fiorini the matter is noted and that follow-up would occur: “You check it in. Thanks. The notes are on my desk,” the official said. The resident asked commissioners to visit the site; the official invited the commissioners to do so and said staff would follow up.

No vote or county commitment of funds was recorded at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to review the complaint and to follow up with the resident.","A resident told commissioners out-of-state garbage trucks, poor ditching and a disputed maintenance boundary have left his property at 6972 Villa Marie Road in poor condition and asked officials to inspect and resolve responsibility.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6228334,"Community Mobilization Coalition urges commissioners to hold public hearings before moving Board of Elections out of Youngstown",234,753000,987000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3475972-eb86937b061f7990ed099a942ce4be5f&start=753&end=987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3475972-eb86937b061f7990ed099a942ce4be5f/thumbnail_753000.jpg","/articles/6228334/Mahoning-County/Ohio/Community-Mobilization-Coalition-urges-commissioners-to-hold-public-hearings-before-moving-Board-of-Elections-out-of-Youngstown","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228334-1dd37e672790544ff8ff736c397ec4cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771104754&Signature=FWYH2D7Y~e-kFUa5-ytqUZHNfD8cRwWgl4eYZZUmIsZzjCKIMnFO5wqVlrp8ZyEDq9EnI3yBfFlDt2bFmV62axQudrScEKp15ANTvNn44U1S3iTGREgaugbVY39cCbicjPOweRX4OYnbxNN6b6pVK4EkC1w5a-hQvFkNvuxbEHMTxpsWPaOdPwDEcBFcNxAXaSVobWNxMKRRDZ59ceR95ZLta1CHRs~NgK-uUDYnLJJd5TzSQkaPtBDQKUaggDSdcvjKzP6L4VKgv4lQ07tYARfzZr2k1e1XAfCONAV8rQFXZ4SuLR2Mcp3pqMpt2RYuNsYPsrldpfwbH0ZB15sMmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Reverend Kenneth L. Simon, chairman of the Community Mobilization Coalition of Greater Youngstown, told the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners the coalition is asking the county to reconsider a proposed move of the Board of Elections and possibly other county offices to the county-owned Austintown building and to hold public hearings before a final decision.

“Moving the board of elections outside of the city would further disenfranchise voters in the city of Youngstown who already have challenges with transportation to participate in the election process,” Reverend Simon said, reading a letter signed on behalf of 25 member organizations.

Simon asked whether the county had performed research into alternatives within Youngstown that could accommodate the needed departments and emphasized that Youngstown, as the county seat, has the largest population of registered voters. He requested that commissioners schedule public hearings and provide a direct response to the coalition before making a final decision.

A county commissioner responded that “nothing's been decided,” said officials are looking at options for the Austintown site and that some departments — including Job and Family Services — would remain in the city. “JFS will never move out of the city. I promise you that,” the commissioner said. The commissioner also noted practical issues being considered, such as parking and building uses already planned for the Austintown property, and said the county would review options and follow up.

No formal decision was recorded at the meeting. Commissioners acknowledged the coalition's request and asked for time to review alternatives and to provide answers about how any move would affect access for vulnerable populations.","Reverend Kenneth L.

Heather Brown, who spoke to commissioners, said the group started from community donations and operated out of storage units in Boardman before purchasing a property in Poland last May and opening a boutique and resource center in September. “If you're not familiar, Clothed and Strength, we're the new kids on the block. We launched just over 2 years ago in the spring of 20 23,” Brown said.

The presentation outlined services offered: donated clothing and home goods, monthly diapers and hygiene distributions in partnership with Project MKC, emergency financial grants and connections to local partner agencies, including Ursula Ministries and Beatitude House. Brown said the nonprofit attends partner meetings such as MiCAP and United Way and works to refer women to other services. “We have ... partnered with agencies like Project MKC. So we have diapers, wipes, women, and hygiene products every month,” she said.

Brown gave weekly and monthly service figures: the organization serves between about 40 and 75 women each month and sees new clients weekly. She said roughly 60% of who they serve live in Mahoning County. She also said the group recently submitted an operating request to the state with the support of “senator Controna,” and that Representative McNally and Representative Blaisdell had visited the facility.

Commissioners did not take any formal action on the presentation. No funding or directive was recorded at the meeting; Brown thanked commissioners for the opportunity to describe the group's work and requested continued help spreading word and support.

Clothed and Strength representatives requested continued partnerships and referrals from county and community groups to expand services and outreach; Brown said the group will return to follow up as needed.","Clothed and Strength, a recently launched nonprofit, told the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners it has moved into a Poland Village site, serves 40–75 women monthly and is seeking further support from state and local officials.","actionData","errors"]
