PUBLIC HEARINGS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Hearings. We have no Public Hearings this evening.
OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Old Business and I believe we have no Old Business to attend
to.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now under Public Speaks. We have three public speakers tonight. Our
first is an old friend, Mr. Charles Killins, if you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential
address and welcome sir.
CHARLES KILLINS: (Inaudible)
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Is that on, Brian do you know?
CLERK TIMBERLAKE: It’s on.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay good.
CHARLES KILLINS: Can you hear me now?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Now we can hear you.
CHARLES KILLINS: Like I said, I spoke to you sometime ago regarding this type of speaker placement here
in City Hall back there. I hope you replace the sound system in this. And go to the Safety Director, Mr.
Safety Director you seen in the paper where the FBI is investigating the City in relations to some things they
may find irregular. And Mr. Joe Martuccio, you are the Law Director, I think you should know when you
serve papers on a person that is illegal and not right and wrongfully produced, this is a violation of a
constitutional right. I have a copy here of when the letters that was sent to me and it has several different
mistakes in it and wrongful violations, constitution and I’d like to leave it with the Safety Director and
hopefully the other ones I will send to the FBI and ask them to review this here and you won’t have to worry
about how long it’s going to take because if you can see here, you’ve done a lot of work for nothing in
relations with wrong producing papers and address and names, person and other things. And other than that,
that’s all I have to say accept I asked the Mayor when he was up where I lived at to go behind and look 10 feet
where the demolition and some wrongful housing, code in violation, all he had to do was about 20 feet but I
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 99 JOURNAL PAGE -686-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 14, 2011
found that he was able to take a trip to Japan. I don’t know how many miles that is but it’s a lot farther than
20 feet that he could have took in about 5 minutes. I don’t know how long the trip to Japan will take but I
hope when he gets back the Service Director directs him as to (inaudible) which I showed him relating to
wrongful (inaudible) station which needs to be taken care of by the City Code Inspector, Building Code
Inspector all over the City. Now, I see a lot of things that wrongfully not taken care of by the City of Canton
and now I think maybe we’ll have some, like I say, I don’t know how many different Members we’ve had in
Council next year but hopefully maybe we’ll see these here and take action and like I told you, maybe next
time I’ll be on the ballot.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mr. Killins very much, thanks for coming. We appreciate it. Our
next speaker is James Parker. Mr. Parker, another friend of Council. If you’ll step forward and give us your
name and residential address. And I always like what you have to say but try to keep it within three minutes
please. Thanks.
JAMES PARKER: You don’t know me that well but thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: No, that’s why I said that, I do know you that well. Okay.
JAMES PARKER: Thank you. James Parker, 630 Penny Street SW, City of North Canton, Ohio. The
mission statement of Canton Tomorrow, Inc. states that they recognize that the vitality of our central city
sustains and reflects our community’s sense of history and self image and their continuing revitalization of the
central city. Note, we are no longer downtown Canton, we are central city, the central plaza is now center
city. Yet as the world capital of professional football, the Pro Football Hall of Fame city, there isn’t any
recognition of Canton’s organic part of football history during the genesis of the game, during the birth of the
NFL. I consider this a gross oversight that we don’t recognize that the central city does not accurately reflect
the mission statement of the Canton Tomorrow Inc., Canton development and the SID, etcetera. Am I the
only person in this room that sees this huge oversight here, that there is no recognition of football as a
reflection of our history and self image in Canton Central City? Why not have a contest that challenges Cities
of pro football teams to send a representation of their City’s team in the form of an outdoor art object using
artistic licensor. We could line the MLK Corridor along Cherry Avenue and perhaps name it Alan Page
something, Marion Motley, the man deserves more than a project...a street in the projects named after him
people. We could line that and enhance the bike lane bus stop project. Why not examine multiple ways to
football pop this area or we can sustain the status quo and have the usual homogenized could be in any 1,000th
places cityscape. Please, I ask you during future meetings on this topic to transcend the mundane and help
transform the cityscape to reflect our status as the Pro Football Hall of Fame City and put tourist and tourist’s
dollars down here by putting the drivers in place that the majority of tourists come here to see over 500 a day,
14 different states, I challenge you to drive through the Football Hall of Fame parking lot, look for yourselves,
they’re turning 50 in a year and a half, what do you have planned? Are you waiting for them to tell you what
to do or are you going to be proactive and instead of 100 years ago we had the McKinley Monument built, 50
years ago we had the Hall of Fame, what now? Can we think forward please and get something going on this?
Thank you very much.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Thank you Mr. Parker, you always give us good ideas, I hope we’ll
follow through with them. Our last speaker this evening is Pastor David Morgan. Pastor Morgan, welcome
again and if you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address please and good evening.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 99 JOURNAL PAGE -687-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 14, 2011
DAVID MORGAN: David Morgan, I live at 922 27th Street NE in Canton. I’m here on my annual pilgrimage
to issue an invitation and reminder. We heard football is one of those things that singularly marks Canton as a
place to live, I will give you another one. In the community interfaith Thanksgiving service. For over thirty
years now, people of different faith traditions and different ethnicities have gathered on the eve of
Thanksgiving to give thanks as Americans all. We might hear the words of the Koran or the Tora or the
Christian Bible. We might hear the poetry of the Bahai faith, we might hear songs from the Hindu or Buddhist
traditions. This is an opportunity when we as neighbors can gather and in our native tongues and in our
American voices give thanks for this good land and this City. Canton is one of the very few communities in
this Country and certainly one that has the longest tradition of this kind of service where we can not only sit
next to and sing next to our brothers and sisters of a variety of faiths but also enjoy with them a bit of
refreshment afterwards and conversation. This year the service will be held at Calvary Presbyterian Church,
1525 Shorb Avenue, NW, 7:30 PM, Wednesday, November the 23rd, the speaker....the main speaker for the
message this year is Rabbi John Adlon, the new Rabbi at Temple Israel and as always you are invited and
encouraged to come and celebrate this unique and I think blessed event. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you as always Pastor Morgan. Thank you.

PUBLIC SPEAKS (CITY BUSINESS): Charles Killens would like the next Council to fix the speakers and the sound system in
the Cham ber so he can be heard. He stated that the Safety Director and the Law Director should know about irregularities in
the city. W hen a citizen is served with papers it can be a violation of their Constitutional rights. He would like to send a paper
to the FBI with the nam es and addresses of the people that have been served in error from Code Inspection violations and all
of the things that have been handled wrong in the city in his eyes. Jam es Parker talked about the m ission statem ent for
Canton Tom orrow Inc. and how downtown or the Special Im provem ent District has becom e the center of the city and should
have som e recognition that this is the Hall of Fam e city. Mr. Parker thinks it would be nice to have a contest to encourage
professional team s to send a piece of art or som ething to represent their team . These item s should line one of the m ain
streets downtown to possibly bring in m ore than the current num ber of approxim ately 500 visitors from 14 states that visit the
Pro Football Hall of Fam e daily and get them into the city. Pastor C. David Morgan inviting all to the Com m unity Interfaith
Thanksgiving celebration. For over 30 years this gathering of faiths and neighbors has taken place in Canton and it is one of
the only cities in the entire country that brings together this type of interfaith giving of thanks. It will be held this year on
