YOUNGSTOWN — City council on Tuesday will consider approving a $200 million city budget that includes about $2.3 million for new equipment purchases and improvement projects.

The equipment and improvement work is being paid from unused money the city received from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and state workers’ compensation refunds, said Kyle Miasek, the city’s finance director. The city received $5.3 million from the CARES Act and $1.89 million in workers’ comp refunds.

The city used $1.06 million from the two funding sources last year for capital purchases.

“We haven’t been able to make these large investments in equipment and other purchases in a few years because the money hasn’t been available,” Miasek said. “This was generated by one-time revenue, which allows us to spend it on projects of this size and scope. We’re using it for service delivery.”

The street department is budgeted to get $1.47 million — the most of any city department.
