Cicero Davis out as Youngstown director of environmental health

COLUMBUS — A Youngstown health inspector has surrendered his state registration after questions arose about falsified reports.

As part of an agreement finalized today, Cicero Davis, director of the city health department’s environmental division, admitted to incompetence, unprofessional conduct and dereliction of duty but not to allegations that he forged inspection reports.

The agreement, approved today by the Ohio Sanitarian Registration Board in Columbus, means Davis will have to step down from the health department post and positions the panel to deny future licensing applications he submits.

“It may allow him the opportunity to preserve some employment with the city of Youngstown,” said Scott Myers, assistant attorney general representing the state board. “It will not be as a sanitarian. It will not be as director of environmental health. ... He can no longer practice in the profession.”
