The Trumbull County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine agenda items and formal actions at its June 3 meeting, including acceptance of federal and state grants, authorizing contracts and setting a public hearing date for a sanitary sewer project.
The board authorized President Tony Bernard to execute a subgrant award (Subgrant No. 2026 VCVCR 98289) from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services for a Trumbull County Joint Violent Crime Reduction Task Force; the transcript record lists the grant amount as $55,994.86. Commissioners also authorized the clerk to apply to the Ohio Department of Taxation to transfer funds and close Fund 078, and granted a notice to proceed for Miller Yamp Paving, Inc., for the Golden Triangle Infrastructure Improvements (Contract A: Larchmont Avenue, Bronze Road and Overland Avenue intersection). The Golden Triangle project was described as funded through the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration ARPA FY2021 program and local funds.
The board approved detailed sanitary sewer drawings for the Rio Vista Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project (Warren Township, County Project No. 2‑S26) and the Hubard Outpost sanitary sewer extension (County Project No. 3‑26), and corrected and approved detailed water drawings for the Still Wagon Road Water Improvements Project (County Project No. 1‑W9). Commissioners adopted a resolution declaring the necessity of constructing the Crane Drive sanitary sewer improvements (County Project No. 7‑S22) and fixed a hearing on objections for Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 7 p.m. at Niles McKinley High School Auditorium.
Personnel and appointments approved included reappointing John Hickeyi as director of the Trumbull County Emergency Management Agency and appointing Darren Mancini, residential building official, to the Trumbull County Flood Plain Variance Board for a three‑year term beginning March 31, 2026. The board acknowledged hires in the clerk of courts office (Mimosa Long) and the treasurer’s office (Kelly Feifer), and placed the Trumbull County Dog Kennel’s May 2026 activities report on file.
The board authorized President Bernard to execute a distribution sheet for the aqueous film‑forming foam (AFFF) products liability litigation, MDL 2873, and recorded that the county retained Stag Luza LLC on May 30, 2024 to assist in that matter; the transcript lists Trumbull County's share in a format shown as '3,48948' (format unclear in the record). The board also approved Contract No. 128‑26250 between the Trumbull County Department of Job and Family Services and Guideoft, Inc. (doing business as Knowledge Services) for an amount not to exceed $80,187 to be paid from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families summer youth employment program funds, effective June 15–Aug. 8, 2026; the motion noted no general funds were requested.
Other routine items approved included a resolution moving the July 15 regular meeting to the Trumbull County Fairgrounds in Cortland, and a decision not to request a public hearing on a Class D5 liquor permit application for Rave Studio Salon in Howland Township. All recorded votes on listed agenda items were recorded as yes by Commissioners Malloy, Hernandez and Bernard.
