Mahoning County commissioners approve contracts for website, lead remediation, landfill monitoring and local sponsorships
Summary
At a Thursday meeting, the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners approved a package of contracts and resolutions covering website maintenance, vehicle repair, lead-hazard remediation, landfill monitoring, a waterline extension with Trumbull County and multiple local sponsorships and appointments.
The Mahoning County Board of Commissioners on Thursday approved a package of contracts, change orders and resolutions that county officials said fund routine services, public-health work and local community events.
The measures approved by the board included a $75,000 agreement for ongoing website support, vehicle repair work, lead-hazard control contracts for two homes, a landfill inspection and groundwater-monitoring agreement, a hazardous-materials expense-offset agreement, a waterline extension memorandum of understanding with Trumbull County and several sponsorships and appointments.
The board voted to approve “agreements a through g” as presented by staff. Item a is an agreement with Infinite Synergy for ongoing website support and maintenance in the amount of $75,000 (funding described in the meeting as “IT, not general”). Item b is an agreement with King Collision for repairs to vehicle number 5 at an estimated $3,293.88 (non-general funds). Items c and d are agreements with Foundations for the Future for lead-hazard control work at 132 North Hartford ($14,999) and 172 North Osborne ($22,401), both noted as non-general funds.
Item e is an agreement with the Mahoning County General Health District for landfill inspection and enforcement, groundwater monitoring, and testing for homes within a one-mile radius of active and closed landfills. Item f is an agreement with HAZMAT to offset additional expenses in the event of a hazardous-material spill or overturned vehicle. Item g is a waterline extension agreement with the Trumbull County commissioners to provide service to a property in Newton Falls, connecting to the Mahoning County/Jackson-Milton water main along Prichard Old Town Road.
The board also approved change orders for county housing projects: a decrease of $1,050 for work at 3728 Erie; a decrease of $13,135 for work at 3024 Shirley Road; and an increase of $365 for work at 1623 Hemrod. Those were presented as change orders a, b and c and were approved by the commissioners.
In a group of resolutions, the board approved an MOU with Ocean Township and the county engineer’s office for a sales-tax project (listed at $136,785.34); a $20,000 contribution to The Ohio State University Extension for 4-H youth development; a $500 sponsorship to the Youngstown Marathon Foundation for the Soul to City half marathon on June 1; a $5,000 sponsorship to Downtown Youngstown Partnership and Youngstown City Cityscapes for a recurring Bridal events series May–October (next event May 2); and a $1,500 sponsorship to Boardman Community Baseball for Little League district tournaments in July. The board also approved multiple personnel appointments across facilities and Jobs and Family Services, including the appointment of one income maintenance A2 for Jobs and Family Services.
Formal approval was recorded during roll call for the agreements, change orders and resolutions; commissioners responded affirmatively during the vote process as the items were presented.
Separately, county recycling staff announced the start of the county’s special collection season, beginning “next week on Wednesday, the sixteenth,” with recurring electronics and appliance collections on Wednesdays and the last Saturday of each month.
Why it matters: the contracts advance county maintenance (website and vehicle repairs), public-health remediation (lead-hazard control and landfill monitoring), infrastructure access (waterline extension to serve a Newton Falls property) and community programming (4-H funding and event sponsorships). Several items were explicitly funded from non-general accounts, and the landfill agreement includes testing for residences within one mile of landfill sites, which is relevant to local public-health oversight.
What’s next: the MOU with Ocean Township and the waterline extension with Trumbull County will proceed under the terms presented; staff will implement the contracts and the county’s special collection schedule will begin as announced.
