9/16/2026 City Council Meeting

The City Council of Youngstown held a meeting on September 16, 2026, where multiple agenda items were addressed, including communications, reports, and ordinances. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of an amended ordinance authorizing a transfer of $50,000 within the 51st year of Project ESG for the Youngstown City Health Department's Street Outreach Activity, which passed unanimously. The council also discussed zoning changes, with a notable vote to defeat an ordinance changing the zone classification of a property at 1731 Glenwood Avenue. Additionally, there was a motion to begin the hiring process for a Deputy Clerk and First Assistant to support council operations, with plans to hold a staff meeting on September 29 to clarify the hiring process. Other discussions involved community initiatives, park naming proposals, and public safety concerns, but no other direct contract awards or vendor selections were detailed. The meeting concluded with a move into executive session to discuss pending litigation.
