MAHONING COMMISSIONERS

Budget vote today

Mahoning County commissioners will adopt the permanent full-year 2009 budget at 10 a.m. today in the courthouse basement.

SMALLER BUDGET

General fund expenditures were about $67.5 million last year. Commissioner John A. McNally IV said he expects the commissioners will pass today a general fund budget totaling about $62 million.

LAYOFFS

The agenda includes a resolution authorizing layoffs among nonunion employees whose salaries are paid from the county’s general fund.

SAVINGS NEEDED

Having achieved $3 million in savings through concessions and layoffs in the sheriff’s department, Administrator George J. Tablack said the county still must achieve $3 million in savings in the other general fund departments.
