Key actions recorded on the agenda included:

- An ordinance authorizing the expansion of a nonconforming use at 209 East Main Street by David Tucci. Planning and zoning had recommended the expansion, and council voted to approve the expansion of the accessory structure as presented.

- An updated right-of-way ordinance (chapter 919) that expands requirements for applicants working in the public right of way. City staff said the revision tightened plan-submission requirements, bonding and inspection procedures, contractor registration, engineer review fees and stated preferences for underground utility placement; the ordinance gives the city manager authority to approve certain plans and to set fees tied to review workloads.

- An ordinance authorizing the city manager to sign a three‑year contract for health services with the Mahoning County General Health District. City officials described the contract as renewing the county health board’s provision of health services to the city; the contract term discussed on the record is three years.

- A resolution setting amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and authorizing tax levies for the coming year (the council confirmed a mill allocation: historically 1 mill to the general fund and 2 mills to the street fund).

- A resolution authorizing the Mahoning County Auditor’s Office to assess properties within the city for streetlight charges and related assessments.

Councilors dispensed with multiple readings and adopted each ordinance or resolution on the night it was presented. City attorney Fortunato and staff provided explanation for the right-of-way changes and the nonconforming-use process; David Tucci was present for the expansion request at 209 East Main Street.

The meeting record did not provide ordinance numbers for each item on the transcript. Votes on the listed items were recorded in the meeting as affirmative and the council proceeded to adopt the measures listed above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Canfield - 09/03/2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At the meeting the council adopted an expansion-of-nonconforming-use ordinance, a right-of-way ordinance update, a three-year health-services contract with the Mahoning County General Health District, and resolutions setting tax rates and authorizing parcel assessments for streetlight charges.","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},6455907,"Residents press Canfield leaders for signs, relief from Route 11 truck noise; city staff to research options",765,2174000,2939000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5713071-ea2d8f286e671320011313ecec2aef5f&start=2174&end=2939","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5713071-ea2d8f286e671320011313ecec2aef5f/thumbnail_2174000.jpg","/articles/6455907/Ohio/Residents-press-Canfield-leaders-for-signs-relief-from-Route-11-truck-noise-city-staff-to-research-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6455907-819cc2e013b9c3ebe2d4a09e5ad74dd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770516260&Signature=Qpi2Oa2YhtWatGPrsRNl9nTXi5YO3~xbMz9fKqn7cocOgWy-bq5F2tBYYzZuWYUTDIhoBFTxwklZkvWxDjwKfMepL0aSC8upqd-mm2Wm6TJmFU58lnG6Rp2I3ETzW1bfG004h0atqJzOKIYsGEeljzC-JiyvmvE6jL3YPNllTpIS3kZ1uyjJwMk4p3QOKciO-zzsvrZGHsXybt4BVEnoUkjgO-unPyE3XO7HdLjcC9HASxq-MmIFGQroTMFsQ7DETdLuK503mndSZyQKh7q1Zp3j9NHb1-WJvpkMAzSu9AOJwg~-lqSZmd93Zy2P7aUMO8LYurxXVtInWDjV2kMcIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents who live along the Route 11 exit ramp urged the Canfield City Council to seek relief from heavy-truck noise and to pursue ‘‘no jake brake’’ and other signage after years of increased traffic and louder engines.

Several residents from the Talisman Drive area described repeated nighttime noise, braking and engine-retarder use that they said resembles a racetrack and reduces their quality of life. They told the council they had pursued a noise wall in prior years but were told by state and township officials that a wall was not feasible because the condominiums were built after the highway. The group asked the city to work with township trustees, the county and the Ohio Department of Transportation on signage and enforcement.

Resident David (Dave) Kenny told the council the cost for six signs would be about $1,850 and that ODOT indicated it would install the signs if a legal sponsor requested them and paid for the signs. Kenny said ODOT provided the hardware and installation but would not fund the signs themselves. ‘‘It comes to $1,850 for the 6 signs, and the ODOT will install it,’’ he said.

City Manager Dapolito and Attorney Fortunato told residents that the stretch in question is in the township and that the city does not own the right of way there. Fortunato said the township or the county commissioners would typically be the entities to request and approve certain actions on the state right of way. The council asked staff and the city attorney to research whether the city can legally pay for or participate in the cost and the procedural steps needed to get ODOT to install signs.

Council members and staff described two practical pathways discussed in the meeting record: (1) the township could request the signs from ODOT and pay for them; or (2) the city could pay directly for the signs and coordinate with the township and ODOT on installation. Staff noted there may also be a requirement that county commissioners pass a resolution to create a non‑braking or restricted zone, depending on the legal pathway.

No formal council vote was recorded on the matter. The city attorney and city manager said they would research the legal authority and funding mechanisms and report back to council and residents.","Several residents living near the Route 11 exit asked the Canfield City Council to pursue signage and other measures to reduce heavy-truck noise.

The ordinance, described at a public hearing and adopted by the council during the meeting, changes the city’s prior enforcement practice of immediately removing noncompliant temporary signs. Under the amendment, an inspector will place a bright yellow door hanger at the property informing the owner of the specific violation; if the sign is not removed within three business days the property owner may be cited and fined.

City attorney Fortunato explained the new process during the public hearing, saying the revision modifies the previous practice and adds the door-hanger requirement and a three-business-day cure period. He and staff emphasized that the city will use the hanger to notify owners and will not remove signs from private property as an initial enforcement step. Council members and staff said that after the three-day period the city would issue a citation rather than enter private property to remove a sign.

During public comment, resident John Morbrey asked whether that change was the only amendment; council and staff confirmed it was the principal change to the sign code discussed at the hearing. Other residents asked whether a mailed notice might be more appropriate; staff replied that the door hanger was intentionally visible and faster than postal notice. A resident noted the hanger is a “very bright yellow,” and staff said that was deliberate so it would be noticed from the driveway.

Council members moved to dispense with multiple readings of the ordinance and adopted the amendment on the same night. The ordinance text included the three-business-day cure period and the citation/fine procedure; the ordinance number was not specified on the record.

Council and staff explained related procedures: the city will place the hanger on the door; if the owner removes the sign after citation and staff verifies removal, the city manager or prosecutor may recommend dismissal of the mayor’s-court case. Council and staff also said the fine schedule is reflected in the ordinance as read during the hearing.

The change takes effect according to the ordinance language adopted by the council; the meeting record did not include an ordinance number or a specific effective date beyond adoption at the meeting.","The Canfield City Council adopted an ordinance changing enforcement of temporary sign violations to require a door-hanger notice and give owners three business days to remove noncompliant signs before citation; fines apply after the deadline.","actionData","errors"]
