Youngstown Council confirms Kyle Mizek as finance director
Summary
The Youngstown City Council voted 6–0 on Jan. 7 to confirm Kyle Mizek as the city’s finance director, effective Jan. 1, 2026, during a meeting that also advanced a broad consent agenda of ordinances and resolutions.
The Youngstown City Council unanimously confirmed Kyle Mizek as the city’s finance director on Jan. 7, approving the appointment by a 6–0 roll-call vote.
Council moved the appointment to a roll-call vote during routine business; the clerk recorded the votes of council members Hughes, Kelly, Oliver, Ray, Turner and White as "yes," and the confirmation was announced as passed. The appointment takes effect Jan. 1, 2026, according to the motion on the floor.
The confirmation came amid a packed agenda that included the suspension of rules to place multiple resolutions and ordinances on the consent calendar. Council members thanked Mizek for attending the meeting. "I apologize that I probably directed my comments to you and you only," Mizek said during brief remarks; "I hope to, in the future, work with you closely." (Speaker: Kyle Mizek)
The council did not attach conditions to the confirmation during the vote. The meeting proceeded to consider a set of resolutions and ordinances as a consent package after the confirmation vote.
Next step: With the confirmation recorded, the administration will proceed with Mizek in the finance director role; no additional hearings on the appointment were scheduled at this meeting.
