Mahoning County commissioners approve routine contracts, awards and extend public-health program
Summary
At their May 27 meeting at the Butler Art Institute, the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners approved minutes, several contracts and resolutions, awarded a Glenwood Avenue road-diet project, and extended an ARP-funded asthma management program through Sept. 30, 2026.
The Mahoning County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine motions and contracts during their May 27 meeting at the Butler Art Institute, including an award for the Glenwood Avenue road-diet project and an extension of an American Rescue Plan-funded asthma-trigger management program.
Commissioners voted to approve the previous meeting minutes and bills for payment, followed by roll-call approval of advertisement and permitting items for the Mahoning County Metropolitan Sewer District improvement No. 544 (Craig Beach wastewater treatment plant electrical upgrade). Staff also presented legal notices: a notice of intent to release funds and a public-hearing notice for the county’s payment-year 2026 Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) program; both were authorized.
The board approved agreements that included a district garage-door replacement (estimated $2,715, non-general funds), an emergency lateral-hookup contract (estimated $10,000, non-general funds), and an agreement with Aqua Ohio for required system reporting and audit-related services (estimated $40,000, non-general funds). A resolution authorizing Law Library Resources Board research services with Trellis Research for $3,900 was also approved.
In procurement actions, the board approved a resolution awarding the Glenwood Avenue road-diet project to the lowest bidder, identified in the transcript as Shelling Sands. The transcript’s recorded bid amount is garbled and not specified in the meeting record provided; staff said a pre-construction meeting will be scheduled and work will be set once the contract is executed.
On public-health spending, the board approved an addendum with the Mahoning County Public Health Agency to extend a program that manages asthma triggers in homes through Sept. 30, 2026; the extension is funded by American Rescue Plan funds at no change in amount. Commissioners also approved a $6,000 sponsorship grant to Youngstown Classic Baseball for the NABF World Series and a $113.25 voucher to the State of Ohio resolving a purchase-order timing issue.

What’s next: Staff said a pre-construction meeting will be scheduled for the Glenwood Avenue project and that work will begin after contract execution. The public-health program will continue through Sept. 30, 2026, under the approved addendum.
(Reporting note: dollar amounts are reported where the transcript provided them clearly. One procurement amount in the transcript for the Glenwood Avenue award was garbled in the record and is therefore listed as not specified.)
