The Mansfield police authority receives a state scholarship of $ 141,000 in order to reduce violent crimes.

Security director Keith Porch made the announcement at the city council meeting on Tuesday.

“This money will cover overtime for civil servants and firm cameras in the city,” said Porch. “We currently have 24, so that the operations of these cameras cover.”

On Tuesday on Tuesday, the governor of Ohio, Mike Dewine, announced scholarships of 1.6 million US dollars to help the local law enforcement authorities.

Eighteen law enforcement agencies in 15 counties receive funds to reduce violent crimes in Ohio as part of the last round of the program. Since the start of the program in 2021, 175 local law enforcement authorities have been provided with more than 81 million US dollars for targeted programs and improved technologies that help prevent violent crime.

“The overall goal of this program is to the law enforcement authorities in the implementation of strategies for public security that meet the special needs of their communities,” said Dewine.

In one night with only three bills on the agenda, the council meeting lasted 25 minutes, with administrative reports delivering a large part of the news.

Mayor Jodie Perry repeated the opening of the opening of the Sterkel Community Park for everyone who was planned for Friday.

“We just want to make sure that we have buttoned everything, especially the parking lot, because this wet weather unfortunately made it difficult to pave,” she said.

Perry said she hoped that the opening would take place in the coming weeks.

Mayor speaks promising news in economic development

The mayor found that “many things” are related to economic development in connection with economic development. She referred to the American lifeguard network, which was assigned for the development of plans and supply companies for the industrial park.

According to Perry, the city has received inquiries from new companies and companies that are to be expanded. She hopes to have concrete information later a year.

Her other delicacies were an announcement that the inner city -improvement committee provides money for the transport of people to and from the last Friday concerts by Richland County Transit.

Kelly Blankenhip, City Finance financial director, explained the quarterly report. While all departments are active within their budget, the expenses at this time are higher than in the previous year.

She said she had a careful view of income tax.

“The income taxes are slightly below the estimated income, which is unusual,” said Blankenship. “When we made the final budget, we reduced these expenses and we are still back.”

The financial director said that a change from the state enables companies to lead their losses 100% for five years.

“In the past, we have limited this Carry Forward to 50% in the same period,” said Blankenship. “This slowed down the loss of business when we made our books at the same prices. The state changes did not help us at all in this regard.”

Security director Louis Andres informed the Council that the long-awaited water-Main project would begin on Tuesday. He also said that people in community service would help with garbage and other work. Perry recognized the judge of the city court Mike Kemerer for his help.
