\"I've been on the job a month,\" Petro said, and praised his new staff: \"a % of the sanitary engineering department is off the charts fantastic.\" He described the department as a 24/7 operation and provided an inventory of county assets, saying: \"People don't realize that we have a 10 miles of sanitary sewer in Mahoning County, and we have 5 treatment plants, and we have 82 pump stations.\"

Petro said he previously worked designing water plants and lines and called his return to the sanitary department \"very refreshing to come home and lead\" the team. Commissioners thanked him for stepping into the role during a busy transition.

The introduction occurred during the resolutions and departmental reports portion of the agenda; the county recorded Petro’s hire/introduction but no additional formal actions were taken at that time in the public record excerpt.

Questions about specific capital projects, budgets or timelines for improvements were not detailed during the introduction; commissioners and staff referred to ongoing work and to the department's continuing operations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 29, 2025 Mahoning County Commissioners' Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Mahoning County Board of Commissioners introduced Ernie Petro as the new sanitary engineer.

\"We are at capacity,\" said Marcy Consiglio of Moab House, adding that the home has housed seven young adults and that five moved in during May. Consiglio said one resident who has been with the program since it opened in December 2023 is graduating from high school.

Lori Mantegui, the program’s house parent, described the home as an on-site, transitional living residence for people ages 18 to 21. \"We have 8 rooms, and they can learn how to do things that they weren't able to do in the foster care system, get their driver's license, make sure they have a savings account, save for the future, get a job,\" Mantegui said.

Consiglio said mailings about Moab House were sent to \"the '88 counties in Ohio\" and that the organization received strong interest suggesting a wider demand for such services. The presenters thanked the commissioners for attending their ribbon-cutting on Feb. 13 and for county support.

The presenters said the facility is part of a campus of care and described the location as quiet and peaceful compared with group-home settings in denser neighborhoods. They said Moab House plans additional homes and services but gave no timeline or budget for expansion.

No formal action or vote was recorded; the presentation was part of the public-comment portion of the meeting.","Moab House representatives updated commissioners that their transitional living home for young adults who aged out of foster care has reached capacity, reported recent move-ins and a high-school graduation, and said they plan to expand services statewide.",{"_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},6220416,"Residents, elected officials urge commissioners to hold public hearing on proposed move of election office to Austintown",264,412000,676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3617595-92ca2bc28a174fd95783adfb2f4fcf23&start=412&end=676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3617595-92ca2bc28a174fd95783adfb2f4fcf23/thumbnail_412000.jpg","/articles/6220416/Mahoning-County/Ohio/Residents-elected-officials-urge-commissioners-to-hold-public-hearing-on-proposed-move-of-election-office-to-Austintown","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6220416-027ada8e5c0a28ed4002aecd28f711f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1774983925&Signature=IPj0OcDhzAwexMThEJn2te~Y8acv1-DKfKco5uXtPNJFTKDfAsqdEtQNeTIEsq0nMrT~HUnSxvtEnpzAP-qGrHAmxmKPmQsx7WbS1ekft6j5xYtBupnuEgVP5bkQ3875A1ErWGsnd7aRUgb-aSu8hkitC~C5LYqdxE634z0CGdm-YPUSGlOOI42c8JtoyfplHl6Hi0y4jG7vtYlXQrI5n8zyDGiglBhdCjlUBpHz8ODlPUBgs--Ktysy-uy3BPmJHYg7quszi4O7zqQ-WVckysND4itC220i-jd2jsXxA8XGMGY1-pWco0~Mt8A0g5zOGscxJKkBvtoEAaLHd94g4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents, a Youngstown council member and a county official urged Mahoning County commissioners on May 29 to hold public hearings and reconsider plans to move the Board of Elections and other county offices to a county-owned building in Austintown.

Kenneth L. Simon, chairman of the Community Mobilization Coalition, said the proposal \"has been proposed and is being pushed by the board of elections without any public hearings or input from the residents of the county that it would affect the most.\" He said the coalition represents 25 minority organizations and asked the commissioners to \"reconsider this move, schedule public hearings on this matter, and respond to the Community Mobilization Coalition directly before a final decision is made.\"

The request drew similar concerns from Anita Davis, a Youngstown Sixth Ward member of city council, who told the commissioners: \"If there's an idea to move this out of downtown Youngstown, it is so wrong.\" Davis said moving the office outside the city would risk \"disenfranchis[ing] voters in the city of Youngstown who already have challenges with transportation.\" She urged the commissioners to invite the board of elections to a public hearing she plans to hold at the Newport Library.

Michael P. Sacone, who identified himself as \"clerk of clerks,\" said he opposed moving county offices out of the county seat. \"We are hemorrhaging county offices out of the county seat,\" he said, and noted the economic effect on Youngstown and potential loss of local income-tax revenue should county staff relocate. Sacone said the county's title-related fees -- held in the CTAF fund -- totalled approximately $2,056,000 and argued that keeping services in Youngstown supports local businesses and revenue.

Speakers from the public suggested alternative sites inside Youngstown, including the Nathaniel Jones Federal Building at 10 East Commerce Street; the WJ Cobb office tower on Fifth Avenue; the former Eastern Gateway Community College building; vacant school properties; and land adjacent to the county-owned OCO facility. Simon said he would submit a list of recommended sites to the commissioners.

Commissioners responded that no final decision has been made and that county officials are still reviewing options. One commissioner said the plan is \"not definite, but it will be in the city if not new construction in the city,\" and emphasized that the county is assessing parking, access and suitability for multiple departments. The commissioners acknowledged resident concerns and said they would continue to evaluate options.

No formal vote or motion to relocate the Board of Elections was recorded in the meeting minutes provided; speakers and at least one commissioner described the matter as under consideration and not finalized.

The comments during public comment followed a week in which some commissioners had discussed the county's recently purchased Austintown building. Residents urged the commissioners to hold public hearings and to invite the board of elections to explain the rationale before any relocation occurs.","Residents, council members and county officials pressed Mahoning County commissioners to explain plans to move the Board of Elections and other county services to a newly purchased Austintown building and to hold public hearings, saying the change could make services less accessible to Youngstown residents.","actionData","errors"]
