The Mahoning County Commission approved a slate of routine administrative actions on April 17, voting to accept bids, authorize contracts and approve resolutions across multiple departments.

Actions recorded on the consent portion of the agenda included: approval of the minutes from the April 9 meeting and bills for payment; authorization to advertise bids for a domestic wastewater treatment contract in Lincoln Township; multiple lead hazard control and healthy-homes contracts; recycling drop-off agreements with local communities; a $12,000 contract to repair a water line at the Craig Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant; and a three-year agreement for police services to the village of Craig Beach at $90,000 per year payable to Mahoning County.

The commission also authorized sponsorship grants through the Convention and Visitors Bureau ($1,000 to Lit Youngstown for a fall literary festival and $2,500 to the Greater Youngstown Italian Fest), approved personnel appointments and approved administrative purchases for county supply and janitorial contracts for the remainder of the year.

Resolutions included authorizations to apply for a 2025–2026 drug-use prevention grant (application amount $22,141.50 with a 50% match from Jackson Milton School District) and a satisfaction of mortgage for a 2018 CHIP rehab loan at 146 Gordon in the City of Campbell.

All motions on the consent calendar were approved by roll call. Commissioners recorded “yes” votes for the motions presented.

Why it matters: These routine approvals enable county departments to proceed with public-health work (lead-hazard and healthy-homes remediation), sanitation repairs, interlocal police-service agreements, community festival sponsorships and grant applications that fund local programs.
