The Mahoning County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 30 approved a package of routine year-end motions and multiple resolutions during its regular meeting.
The board voted unanimously to approve the previous meeting minutes and bills, travel requests for departmental conferences and trainings, and agreements including a sublease for office space at 50 Westchester Drive ($27,990 per department) and various vehicle-repair contracts. Change orders approved included an amendment to extend a home services program ($700,000) and final adjustments to wastewater-generator work that reduced contract costs by $43,082.49.
Among resolutions passed were a commissioner's resolution to designate a portion of State Route 7 as the Clarence "Sonny" Smith Jr. Memorial Highway and a request that the Ohio General Assembly pass Senate Bill 216. The board also adopted a 2026 holiday schedule; approved MOUs with Poland and Springfield on sales-tax projects; and approved an MOU to help the Mahoning County Agricultural Society install security cameras in the 4-H Building.
The commissioners directed $31,320 in opioid-settlement funds to the United Way of Youngstown and Mahoning Valley, following staff work with the mental-health board to confirm eligibility. The board approved a cash-advance year-end policy not to exceed $1,500,000 and authorized purchase actions to procure Motorola Solutions security cameras and related video equipment through the state cooperative purchasing program (a resolution of necessity for purchases exceeding $77,250). The board also authorized acquisition of law-enforcement vehicles (two 2026 Chevrolet Tahoes, two 2026 Dodge Durango pursuit SUVs and two Ford Explorer interceptor SUVs) estimated at $224,180.78 through the LESO Auto Choice program.
All motions on the agenda were moved, seconded and approved by roll call during the meeting. The board scheduled its reorganization meeting for the second Monday of the new year (reorg at 9:30 a.m.; board meeting at 10:00 a.m.).
