YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County commissioners today unanimously approved a proposed agreement with Youngstown that would merge the city’s building inspection department into that of the county, if the city concurs.
The commissioners took the action this morning despite the lack of final action on the merger Wednesday evening by Youngstown City Council.
Council gave the measure a first reading, meaning two more readings are required for passage, unless council declares an emergency.
Until council takes final action, the county continues to perform building inspections for the city at $60 per inspection.
