Warren senior citizens agency ordered to make $90K payment

WARREN — Trumbull County commissioners have ordered SCOPE of Trumbull County, a senior citizens service agency, to repay $90,000 that commissioners say the organization overbilled the senior services levy.

The Senior Citizens Opportunity for Personal Endeavor and the county commissioners have negotiated for several months on the issue.

“Because these negotiations have been fruitless, the Board of Commissioners is left with no alternative other than implementing a resolution,” said a letter dated Feb. 18 to SCOPE.

The letter asks SCOPE to pay back the money through invoice reduction and credit for services performed above its monthly allotment.
