Council Delays Decision on Who Should Cut Youngstown's High Grass - WKBN


Youngstown City Council did not make a decision Wednesday night on the contracts for grass cutting.

Many have been complaining about high grass on properties in the city. One man who lives on W. Evergreen Avenue said some of the grass in his neighborhood is as tall as him. Councilman Julius Oliver addressed this resident and asked for patience, saying the city is trying to work out its new grass-cutting program. One of the agenda items on Wednesday was for council to approve this new program for multiple contracts with private contractors. Council decided to push this vote to its next meeting. A woman in charge of one of the private contracts also asked for patience because the mowers got a late start.
