Mahoning County commissioners approve bids, agreements and $10,000 YMCA match
Summary
At a June 11 meeting held at Ford Nature Center, commissioners approved bid advertisements, multiple agreements and change orders for wastewater and other county services, adopted personnel and service resolutions, and committed $10,000 as a local match to the YMCA of Youngstown's brownfield remediation project.
Mahoning County commissioners conducted routine business at a June 11 meeting at Ford Nature Center, approving bid advertisements, several agreements and change orders related largely to wastewater and treatment-plant work, and adopting personnel and service resolutions.
Clerk Jamal read agreements A–G, which included an estimated $50,950 non-general contract to install a return pipe and valves at a county water treatment plant; a $5,500 general-fund agreement with Ferris Marketing for consulting and informational materials; and a $38,193 engineering contract with GP Group for wastewater plant improvements. Commissioners moved, seconded and passed the package of agreements by roll call.
The board also approved a change order and final adjustment for excavation work on the Southwest Lake Evans sanitary sewer pump station and force main (Improvement #529) showing a net decrease on the contract as presented. Commissioners approved resolutions including janitorial services for sanitary departments and the employment of one Emergency Management Agency officer.
In a separate allocation related to a state grant competition, commissioners chose the YMCA of Youngstown from three candidate projects and authorized a $10,000 local match to support the YMCA's brownfield remediation work. The YMCA project is described by the commissioners as remediating the organization's site and converting upper floors for housing for young people aging out of foster care and for workforce development space. "We chose the YMCA and made this small match to show our interest in the project," a commissioner said.
Several specific dollar figures in the clerk's reading were unclear in the transcript (for example, a grant amount presented for acceptance was garbled); where amounts were not clear, the board's motions and approvals were recorded as stated in the meeting. No contested votes or roll-call tallies by individual commissioner name were provided in the transcript excerpt.
The meeting included several presentations and closed with reminders about community events and the next commissioners meeting on June 18.
