Youngstown park board won’t fight charter amendments in court
YOUNGSTOWN — Although the city’s park and recreation commission members oppose charter amendments on the Nov. 6 ballot to overhaul how they operate, they don’t plan to fight the matter in court.
The commission approved legislation Sept. 27 to seek permission from the city administration to spend up to $3,500 of city money to hire an attorney for legal work related to the charter amendments.
But the commission never formally submitted the request to the law department. That’s because law department officials had informally said it wouldn’t be a proper expenditure of public funds.
