OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Old Business. Chief of Staff Price do we have any Old
Business to address?
CHIEF OF STAFF PRICE: We don’t from last week. Thank you Mr. President. I did want to update
Council and the public on a Communication we received today. I am pleased to announce that according to
Chief McKimm the I-Spy cameras are up and running thanks to working out the internet issues we had. So
those are up and running. The Safety Director’s not here, he’s out of town for a family issue. The Chief,
actually I’d be happy to talk to you privately but, the Chief actually listed the locations there in now. I
honestly don’t know that I should disclose those publicly. I don’t know if that’s a secret or not but they are
up and functioning on line and being recorded so we have those working. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Director Price.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now under Public Speaks and we have three speakers that will speak
this evening. The first is Bob Malley. Mr. Malley if you’ll step..hope I’m pronouncing your name right. Are
you here? OK, I do know John Swartz is here. Mr. Swartz, good evening. If you’ll step forward and give us
your name and your residential address and it’s good to see you moving as well as you are. Just move a little
quicker, that’s all I ask.
JOHN SWARTZ: President Schulman, is this on?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.
JOHN SWARTZ: And Council persons. I think everybody here, well I’m not going to say that, I’ll just ask a
question. How many people here have been to First Friday? OK well this is a boom time because December
2nd we’re having Lighting up the City downtown, which is an incredible experience but the second or the
First Friday will have some very interesting things and what we’re going to do tonight is talk about one of the
great people. You’ll notice the Repository lately has been focusing some of the great people of the past.
Today Alan Page was in there, who was a fellow alumnus of mine. But anyway, what we’re doing is the
second Pulitzer. The first one I think everybody’d know is Don Mellett. You know Don Mellett. He first of
all had a mall named after him and they redid the building which is the Daily News. They did a gorgeous job
of redoing that building. But what First Friday generally does, is focuses on one great from the past and what
we’re going to do this time is the second Pulitzer. Now he’s unheard of and most people don’t know who he
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 98 JOURNAL PAGE -737-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 2010
is, his name is Charles R. Macauley but Macauley cartooned all through grade school and through what was
the old Central High School and then got a job at the Dueber Hampton Company and he started cartooning,
sending these things to different places and he won an award with the Cleveland Press. Meantime he did
about a dozen cartoons for the Canton Repository and he actually pursued this. In 1893 or 1899 he went to
the Philadelphia Enquirer and did, these are, four colored cartoons only began in 1893 and this is an example
of, we’ve got 8 of these on display but this is the kind of thing he did back in 1899 or this is 1900 and
basically it’s a political cartoon on William Jennings Brian who was constantly running for office. At any
rate if you want to see these afterwards, I’ll have them in the back and we have a little brochure that you’ll
get when you go there that explains the whole display. But there are at least 35 maps with different cartoons
on them and those will be on the central part of the Canton Museum of Art. At the same time, there’s going
to be a some of the really great possessions that the private collection of the Art Museum and the third thing
is going to be done by our great photographer in town, Steve, what’s Steve’s last name, that’s terrible, but
he’s going to be doing a huge display of his beautiful nature photography. In any case, make it a point to go
to First of the Art Museum and you’ll get a little map and you can follow it through downtown and there’s
free wine and cheeses and little appetizers as your going through. There’s different music groups down there.
It’s just a wonderful evening and there’s always something for kids, so make it a point to try to be a part of
that because I think I’ve missed about five of them and I went in a wheelchair with the help of somebody
here. With a walker another time and finally I can walk, so make it a point to do that. Celebrate the great
people of the city and we’ve got some great ones. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you John, very much. (APPLAUSE) If we could have a resident historian
John, you would be the person I would select. Thank you so much. Our next speaker and I do apologize I’m
going to do the best I can on the last name, I just can’t read it. Bob Breaneal. I should know you. What, how
do you pronounce your last name?
BOB BRAZEAL: My last name is Brazil. I had my hand shaking a little bit.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Oh, that’s right, OK. You’re going to have to write more legibly. I apologize.
Good evening. Give us your name and your residential address please.
BOB BRAZEAL: My name is Bob Brazeal. I live at 148 Fawcett Ct NW, Canton, Ohio of course. Tonight
it’s nothing major. I just wanted to hand out some invitations that I’m going to pass around here. We’re
having a little holiday dinner. It’s going to be on the 12th and anyone in the Committee is definitely invited to
come. Bring your significant other if you chose and it’s just our way of saying thanks.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great. Thank you very much sir. We appreciate it. (APPLAUSE)

have done everything that we can over the past 26 years to ensure that Canton is a, an even better place to live

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH ANGELA CAVANAUGH TO SERVE AS THE
CITY’S CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$105,818.00; AND DECLARING THE SAME TO BE AN EMERGENCY
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader Dougherty.
MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President I move we adopt Ordinance 22.
MEMBER PRATER: Seconded.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded that you adopt Ordinance 22. Are there any
remarks under this Ordinance? Member Cirelli.
MEMBER CIRELLI: Thank you Mr. President. I cannot support this Ordinance. I firmly believe that it is
definitely an employer’s market. For $105,818.00 to an employee, a person for a part-time position, all our
other Department Heads are full-time. I think that this warrants a full-time position and what are we saying
to our other Department Heads that are asked to be doing less, more for less. And I’m aware that if this
Honorable Body would in fact vote this Ordinance down that the Mayor could have it the responsibility of
appointing this person and I don’t have a problem with that, if he so chose to do that, then he can explain to
the general public how he feels. He can have a person for $105,000.00 serving in a 32 hour capacity. And I
know a lot of people say it would cost a lot more because of the fact you’d have to pay pensions and benefits
and what have you, but I also asked for the qualifications for this and I’ve heard a lot of people think you’ve
got to be this and you’ve got to be that and if the people would have it here, I was amazed at what really
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 98 JOURNAL PAGE -748-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 2010
would deem a person to hold this position. And I think it would behoove us to circulate it and see that we
could have somebody from the city or the county in this position. Not necessarily somebody from Summit
County who also is serving under five different other entities and I cannot support it because as I said before,
it’s a employer’s market and I think we ought to do some shopping around and get the best person for the job
and I don’t feel this is the best person for the job. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Do you have the list Member Cirelli of the other employment that the Director
has?
MEMBER CIRELLI: Pardon me sir.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Do you have a list of the other jobs that Director Cavanaugh has at present?
MEMBER CIRELLI: Don’t have it with me. You mean the people she serves underneath.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.
MEMBER CIRELLI: Yea, I’ve asked for all that and I have that.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Now you said had five other jobs.
MEMBER CIRELLI: No on the, these are five other jobs outside of the City of Canton that she, oh I’m sorry,
I can read that to you. By the way, she provided this for me. Massillon, Aurora, Barberton and Doylestown,
North Canton and she was just contracted with Medina also.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Alright, thank you.
MEMBER CIRELLI: Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Smuckler.
MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President I too have a problem with this based on the fact that I’d like to be
sharing this with the county right now. And I think that the county situation and our situation are pretty
similar if not one of them being worse and I think that we should be sharing these responsibilities. We
should be consolidating and I too cannot support this.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West.
MEMBER WEST: Yes a question to the Service Director or the Law Department. Member Cirelli
mentioned something around the qualifications for a CBO is that different than what we had talked about
earlier or last week?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director Price.
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Thank you Mr. President. There are, Angela Cavanaugh performs two
functions. She is the Chief Building Official of the City of Canton which requires her to have certain
qualifications. She also reviews plans for the City of Canton. That involves a separate set of qualifications.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 98 JOURNAL PAGE -749-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 2010
I don’t know if that answers your question but she is doing two separate things for us, plan review and she’s
acting as our Chief Building Official.
MEMBER WEST: So are those both required by law to have on, on staff.
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Yes. Well not on staff. We are required by law to perform those functions
so whether we do it with full-time or part-time employees of the city or if we just contract that out. That’s up
to the municipality.
MEMBER WEST: And also Law Director, earlier you made an amendment to the contract to read that
there’s an out or a cross 60 days on our behalf as well as hers, is that correct?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director Martuccio.
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President, Member West, thank you for the question. I apologize for
the amendment coming down Clerk. It was requested and on it’s way before I found out we had already,
there was no need for the amendment. Essentially what the personal services contract provides for between
the city and Miss Cavanaugh would be that it’s a one year contract, 1/1/11 to 12/31 for that figure,
$105,000.00+. I was inquired as to the termination portion of it. There are two ways that this contract can be
terminated. One is if one party thinks the other party has breached a portion of it, they are given, they give
the other side 30 days to fix it. That’s one way it can be terminated within 30 days. The other way is either
side can terminate the contract without any cause being given with 60 days written notice. So there’s a no
cause provision in there as well with 60 days written notice and I think that satisfied the questions that were
asked of us.
MEMBER WEST: If, and maybe Law Director you could help me with this, if this does not pass tonight,
then what would happen as a result of our being in compliance or how long would this take place?
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director Martuccio.
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Member West my understanding is that effective January 1st the city
would have to either hire a Chief Building Official through the Mayor’s office which he has the authority to
do or we would have to contract for one. We would also have to find either a person that could do both or if
we could only find a Chief Building Official we would also have to contract with someone who is in, who’s
authorized and certified to do plans examination and approval. Now that person could be contracted for or it
could be done on a part time basis as well.
MEMBER WEST: One more quick question and I’ll shut up. This will be to the Service Director, last week
and I thought I seen an email about it but I’m not clear in my head, but last week we talked about there hasn’t
really been a lot of plans that have been brought up to the city or because we haven’t had a lot of building is
that correct or will we need a Plans Examiner cause there’s not a lot of building going on in the City of
Canton right now?
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: I emailed that information to the Council Clerk. I don’t remember the
numbers off hand and I emailed it unsolicited because I know it had been brought up by somebody and I
don’t remember offhand who actually kind of posed hypothetically the question but, we did I think there were
246 commercial plan reviews. There were, I don’t have the numbers with me. But I think there were a
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 98 JOURNAL PAGE -750-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 2010
substantial number of plans submitted and plan reviews done in the city. I mean, keep in mind, that you
know although the economy’s poor, we’ve had some substantial building projects in the city even despite that
poor economy and also you know businesses are always putting on additions or changes uses in this volatile
economy. That doesn’t mean we’re not doing any inspections. I think we have a healthy number of
inspections that we continue to do.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Anything else Member West?
MEMBER BARTON: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes, Member Barton.
MEMBER BARTON: Some questions for the Service Director. I just want to make sure I understand you.
This is a combined two positions and if I understand you right, this was at savings of what we had paid
before, correct?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director.
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Yes, thank you Mr. President. That’s correct.
MEMBER BARTON: Do you know what that amount is as far as the savings and what we saved before?
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Roughly $40,000.00.
MEMBER BARTON: And if we had to replace this position with one or possibly two, would that contract be
in line or would we actually be looking at paying more out to do that?
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: If we hired a Chief Building Official and contracted out our plans review as
we had done previously, my expectation would be that it, we would be at that same, we would increase our
cost by probably about $40,000.00 just based on past experience. I think the previous Chief Building
Official’s salary was $75,000.00, $79,000.00. With benefits you can add probably $15,000.00 to that plus we
haven’t covered the plans review yet, so even though the number sounds high, you’ve got to keep in mind too
that’s a gross contract amount. You know Miss Cavanaugh of course is having to claim taxes out of that.
That’s pre-tax amount. I mean it’s a contract, you know. But I would expect that we would increase costs if
we went back to a full-time Chief Building Official and then had to contract out for a Plans Examiner.
MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Any other questions Member Barton? Member Barton any other questions.
MEMBER BARTON: No thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: OK, Member Hawk.
MEMBER HAWK: I’m going to support this because I am looking at just the numbers on it. The numbers
do make sense if we end up hiring a person and understand that the top salary paid for the (inaudible) could
be updating $5,000.00 on our own Ordinance. We’re probably going to need the acceptance of $75 or
$80,000.00 or higher to get someone with the qualifications that we need and add the package on to it that’s
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 98 JOURNAL PAGE -751-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 2010
much higher than $15,000.00, could be as high as probably about 27% also the plans clause could be very
beneficial to us if we decide to cover (inaudible)...and consolidate within the year then sharing the cost of
(inaudible) and we would not have to add an unemployment package if we chose not to go with ...(inaudible).
These numbers make good sense to me. They’re prudent and I had the same questions but I became satisfied
and feel that we are being responsible, fiscally responsible with this.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Hawk. Leader Dougherty.
MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President if you’d have asked me a couple of months ago I probably
wouldn’t support this but I’m going to support this tonight. I think some changes, the problems I had with
her and how she handled things have changed for the good and so I’m going to support this. I think, you
know, not to belabor this but, as Member Hawk said, you know if we wanted to do this consolidation thing,
then this is the situation we need to be in so that we can go with the year contract with the option in 60 days
to be out of it if that’s what we chose to do because we’re going in another direction. I think she’s in place.
I’ve talked to different people, her employees like her, she’s fair and firm with things, how she handles things
so, I kinda did that background check. I’m more concerned about that and how she manages. That’s very
important to me. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Cirelli do you have anything else you wish to say?
MEMBER CIRELLI: I appreciate all the homework all the Council people’s done. I’ve done mine too. She
manages 20 union and non-union employees. You know when the cats away the mouse will play. The
mouses are playing, maybe people don’t want to acknowledge that, but here in our own office we have three
full-time people and God bless Cindy, she manages two. And she’s full-time. I just think there’s a lot of
things that are being, going under the carpet and what have you, being covered up and I really do not think
that we should keep doing business as usual with a person we’re doing business. And I really think that it is
an employer’s market. I think we could lower it, the price that we are paying and we would get people
flocking here. Because I just read in the paper the other day that Massillon was advertising for a Director of a
Museum and they had over 80 applicants so there are people out there I’m sure, that could fill this position so
I don’t feel that we would go very long without having people come forward and even somebody serving in
this capacity for less amount of money even on a part-time basis if that’s what this Honorable Body would
chose. So I just wanted to state that.
