Youngstown council to consider jail deal proposal

YOUNGSTOWN — City council will consider approving a tentative agreement Wednesday to board city misdemeanor prisoners in the Mahoning County jail.

Council had planned to approve legislation to permit the city’s board of control to adopt the agreement at its Feb. 7 meeting, but didn’t have enough members present to do so via emergency measure. It received a first reading at that meeting.

Getting the needed six of seven members at Wednesday’s meeting shouldn’t be a problem, said Councilman Mark Memmer, D-7th and finance committee chairman.
