EAST LIVERPOOL City council’s Finance Committee agreed Tuesday to forward three pieces of legislation to council-as-a-whole, including the purchase of a new street sweeper.
The Elgin Whirlwind street sweeper will be purchased from Jack Doheny Companies for $305,842 through the state’s cooperative purchasing program.
According to Safety-Service Director David Dawson, the sweeper itself will run $291,283 plus a five-year warranty and lease agreement.
Half of the cost will be covered by moneys for the R&R fund, while the water and stormwater funds will split the remainder.
Councilman Ray Perorazio, who sits of the Finance Committee, was concerned that the sweeper was the right one due to issues with its predecessor.

LISBON So far, the slate of candidates for the May 4 primary election looks a little slim in the southern part of Columbiana County; however, voters need to not worry.
Candidates also have the option to get on the ballot as write-ins or skip the primary altogether.
According to the Columbiana County Board of Elections, candidates who have filed petitions to run for the May primary are incumbent John Mercer, of 311 W. Sixth St., and Robert Nizer Jr., of 235 Pennsylvania Ave. for council at-large (three seats) and C. Fred Rayl, 653 Bradshaw Ave.,second ward.
Scott Barrett, of 840 Grandview Avenue, has filed as an independent for East Liverpool fourth ward council; however, independent candidates won’t be certified until after the May election and are placed directly on the November general election ballot.

EAST LIVERPOOL City council on Monday fine-tuned its wages and benefits ordinance overseeing non-union employees..
Although a planning director wasn’t named, council members unanimously did agree to that appointee with three years or more experience would be paid $27.66 per hour compared to those without. Those individuals with less than three-year experience would earn $23 per hour.
Finance Committee chairman Fred Rayl said this ordinance change does not reflect a pay increase for the planning director post, which currently is being filled on the interim by city Safety-Service Director David Dawson, since Kayla Crowl was shifted to an environmental health post in the city’s Health Department after returning from maternity leave.
