Tisch framed the rejection as taking the immediate pressure off the city for the $106 million figure that had been reported in local coverage; he said the rebid process will proceed and that the ultimate costs and any rate impact will be determined through the sanitary district's procurement and budgeting process.

Tisch also told council he has participated in recent MBSD meetings and said he has heard no signs of contamination reaching the far north of the district's service area. The council did not take formal action on the district matter; the report was informational.

Council members had no follow-up motions recorded on the sanitary-district item during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Canfield - 06/18/2025 City Council - Jun 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilman Tisch reported that the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District rejected a $106,000,000 bid that had been driving rate concerns and said the district plans to rebid the project later this year.","taxTitle","Canfield City Council, Canfield, Mahoning County, Ohio","taxId",72714,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6515480,"Canfield council adopts public-records policy allowing fees for video requests, citing new state law",131,1494000,1625000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868947-b7a3e579ec854f6853df86e02296bcbe&start=1494&end=1625","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868947-b7a3e579ec854f6853df86e02296bcbe/thumbnail_1494000.jpg","/articles/6515480/Ohio/Canfield-council-adopts-public-records-policy-allowing-fees-for-video-requests-citing-new-state-law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515480-2ba388629f0cac0a7572a1fe38646105/orig.mp4?Expires=1771014121&Signature=WT3Ts1mte~vfCF5P6KIgEvOsqEaPHdi0vzOfGJV0fTybHEE6fpHLv84jthafzfhn4MywNvzKoAjtEz1NdJmI1exWUmdm~I0LrBqSpm-9U9gKGFEumfu~dsWLPcUl0RfQ4z1oUQGf9lYYeCOdjdvxauuOP3wDdhz22aoBkPBH5Yu0OPmuvQJEmmVpOFE4TsIQ0zTFitz0~LCjfoiq20E1EhgbUQwxyYd~pwDGc6i9uRK-n48Pw1n~WQ8AriPp32u6RF3~Enc7NUDR10YUaKrFhjcvJix1rMXQ-lq7qWZF5hQVySFwzB-~C7~9Ip66GS0aEGFULoLN2-P8b63YtqeqfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Canfield City Council adopted an ordinance amending the city's public-records policy to allow the municipality to charge actual costs for producing video records, including body-worn camera footage, citing recent state legislation.

Attorney Fortunato Machuca explained the change to council: the statute allows municipalities to charge for the actual costs of producing video records, “based on the hourly rates of your employees, not to exceed $75 an hour and not to exceed a total of $750,” he said. He said the language in the ordinance was taken verbatim from the state legislation and that the policy replaces an earlier practice that charged nominal per-page fees.

Council dispensed with the requirement for a full second meeting under the city charter and moved to adopt the ordinance on first reading. A motion was made and seconded; council voted in favor of adoption.

The city clerk and public records custodian will apply the new fee structure when fulfilling requests for video records; the ordinance directs staff to follow the statutory limits specified in the new law. Attorney Machuca also credited the city's public-records specialist for preparing the recommended language.

The ordinance does not list an implementation date on the floor; the city indicated the policy will be implemented consistent with the state statute and internal procedures for producing records.","Council approved an amendment to the city's public-records policy to permit charging actual costs for producing video records, using statutory language that caps hourly charges at $75 and total charges at $750.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6515483,"Canfield council authorizes city manager to contract street paving after questions about one alternate bid",275,1279000,1554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868947-b7a3e579ec854f6853df86e02296bcbe&start=1279&end=1554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868947-b7a3e579ec854f6853df86e02296bcbe/thumbnail_1279000.jpg","/articles/6515483/Ohio/Canfield-council-authorizes-city-manager-to-contract-street-paving-after-questions-about-one-alternate-bid","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515483-7e486af3f644999c4afcfd73b4fc77fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771014121&Signature=HPgrt0rx16I9sEaY3eYZKW4AqecBWcNu3wttFjo2VwrGE-mYpR2g3qxosRItOq4AOfKWOC0F~ntOEthwDe~4Ob604FmxiF1Mz-WIcxZhnzdbz7uKsusUT7S9XHvfBopNRnTW78hhhwRi8Lm8dgxOWuGQUFkuUm8Q~cS4peEsJFKOhUpRtP4Cvq8MrXII2dPSrgeqgVuAhafyY~pWMa6cGEakcnQDdwn7njFA-7sF4C3ND8BAKy0cvdE3eudwAsQt70xJ9jo6SutKTPGFAwVSmq5oTIs0FeHNeiaK5DW-LQoKDFaw2WhUCLKKaHE-ZuNYYMUFvjo6K4Yj210B5kZtNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Canfield City Council at its meeting moved to authorize the city manager to enter into a contract for the purchase, installation and grinding of asphalt concrete street paving, after council members asked why one bid alternate was significantly higher than others.

Councilman Green read the ordinance on the floor and stated, “An ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into a contract for the purchase, installation, and grinding of asphalt concrete street paving. I move for passage.” The council had dispensed with the charter requirement for two readings and proceeded to consider the ordinance on first reading.

The council’s discussion centered on differences among bidders’ alternate proposals. A council member asked, “Was there any explanation as to why alternate 5 was so much higher than the other bidders?” Council discussion and staff commentary noted that on Alternate 5 one bidder’s price was “more than doubled” compared with others, but no detailed cost breakdown or engineering explanation was given on the record.

Council members said they had been provided the bid documents and that staff recommended awarding the contract to the bidder offering certain alternates; the city manager explained the recommendation was driven by alternates included in the low bid. After a second was made, council voted to approve the ordinance.

The ordinance authorizes the city manager to finalize and execute the contract; the council did not specify a contract start date on the record. Council discussion did not include a precise dollar amount for Alternate 5 in the public remarks, and no timeline for when work would begin was provided.

Council members and staff signaled that questions about the alternate pricing would be followed up with staff outside the meeting record. The city manager will proceed with contract execution as authorized by the ordinance.","Canfield City Council voted to authorize the city manager to enter into a contract for asphalt concrete street paving after members questioned why one bid alternate (Alternate 5) was priced far above competing offers.","actionData","errors"]
