County commissioners from Ashtabula, Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Harrison, Jefferson, Mahoning, Trumbull and Tuscarawas counties will meet at 11:30 a.m. Friday at Cafe 422 in Warren with members of the Ohio General Assembly.

Officials will discuss ways to deliver services to Ohio citizens during a period of increasing responsibilities and limited resources, said Dan Polivka, Trumbull County commissioner.
