Youngsgtown council committee to recommend ballot questions next week

YOUNGSTOWN

Youngstown City Council’s legislation committee could have recommendations in a week on how many, if any, of the 17 proposed charter amendments should be on the Nov. 6 ballot.

The three committee members were joined by the four other council members today to further discuss the amendments. The proposals came from the charter-review committee, consisting of 11 members appointed by council and the mayor, after 4 1/2 months of work.

The legislation committee will likely meet next Thursday “to hopefully make recommendations to the full council,” said Councilman Mike Ray, D-4th, committee chairman. “We want to get as much done next Thursday and may have to meet again” before a special council meeting expected to be held the week of July 16.

Council has final say on what amendments are on the November ballot.
