Canfield council adopts multiple ordinances and resolutions; health contract set for three years
Summary
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.
The Canfield City Council approved several ordinances and resolutions during the meeting, adopting technical and administrative measures that the city said were needed for permitting, utilities work and services.
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.
