Board reviews contracts and recognizes local achievements; IT to present arts program March 5

Mahoning County commissioners reviewed several agenda items and made a series of recognitions and announcements during the meeting.

A staff member read contract items on the agenda, including an agreement with American Corrections Maintenance Inc. for service on problematic cell doors at the Mahoning County Justice Center estimated at $20,000 from general funds, and a renewal with Mark Bisco estimated at $7,800 from general funds. The agenda also listed an agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting to advertise and promote special collection events for 2026; the transcript lists the item but does not record an associated dollar amount during the reading.

The board publicly recognized Beau Rangard, a Youngstown State University quarterback who won the Walter Payton Award, praising his accomplishments as a point of local pride. Commissioners linked the recognition to community and university success.

Michael Adams of the county IT department invited attendees to a March 5 presentation on arts and entertainment in the Mahoning Valley, describing the session as brief and entertaining and encouraging attendance.
