Mahoning County bed tax helps sponsor two teen-releated events
YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners this morning approved two event sponsorship grants using county hotel and motel bed tax funds.
One resolution authorizes a $7,500 sponsorship of the American Junior Golf Association All-Star Tournament June 20-23 for boys and girls, ages 12-15, at the Mill Creek Park Golf Course.
The other authorizes a $1,000 sponsorship for Triple Crown Sports to support the Battle on the Border XI Baseball Tournament for teenagers in June at various county locations.
The commissioners also passed a resolution to form a labor-management health care roundtable consisting of union and management representatives.
Three new health care plan options for about 1,400 county employees, which are designed to contain county employee health care costs at about $24 million a year, are scheduled to take effect April 1.
Plan terms had to be negotiated with unions representing county employees.
The commissioners also appointed Kathleen Dillon Kennedy, a loan originator at Home Savings, to serve on the Western Reserve Port Authority Board from now through Dec. 31, 2018.
Having worked in mortgage lending since 1988, she has served as a loan officer, loan processor, underwriter and closer.
