City Council

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 99 JOURNAL PAGE -740- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 12, 2011 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Canton City Council. You know one of the pleasures of...at least my job, is every Monday night most of the time that we meet, I get to look out in the audience and see faces that come back and people that come back over and over and over again because they care about our City, they actually care about what happens here. And there’s one person that has been here almost every...certainly since I became privileged to be President, always in the audience, a wonderful woman and it’s here birthday today. She is as Jack Benny would say, 39 years old. Let’s hear it for Ruby Brogdan. (Applause) Happy Birthday Ruby and many, many healthy and happy ones. It’s always nice to see you in the audience as opposed to some people. (Laughter) Just kidding. Okay, with a quorum being present, the Chair calls this meeting of Canton City Council to order. Roll call vote please Madame Clerk.

PUBLIC HEARINGS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Hearings. We have no Public Hearings this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning to Old Business, the Director and Chief of Staff, Warren Price informs me that there is no Old Business to address tonight. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Speaks. Mr. DiGiacomo told me that this is going to be a scintillating public speaks section. So if we can hear from Mr. Pete DiGiacomo please. Good evening, welcome and I..I...we’re on the edge of our seats. (Laughter). PETE DIGIACOMO: My name is Pete DiGiacomo, I live at 600 Dent Place SW, Canton, Ohio. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Good evening. PETE DIGIACOMO: You can sit back and relax. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. (Laughter) PETE DIGIACOMO: I come up here from time to time and when there’s something that I don’t think is right I’ll complain about it and that’s just the way I am. If I think something good has happened then I’m going to come up and say the exact same thing. Last Council Meeting I told my wife about a house down, I believe it’s on Melchior SW a few blocks from where we live. Outside of it were mattresses, couches, you name it, I think everything except a dead body was laying out there. The house needs to be raised...come down along with another one. We drove by, I showed my wife and she couldn’t believe it. I said “Well Tuesday I’m going to take pictures when I come up Monday night to Council I’m going to show them and see what can be done about the situation. I had to run some errands on Tuesday. Short part of the story, I come home my wife says “Don’t take the pictures.” I goes “Why?” She said “They cleaned it up.” So how it got cleaned up, I don’t know who cleaned it up, I don’t know. I know it’s cleaned up so hopefully it was the City. They did a great job whoever it was, so I’m just here to say that I don’t know who else would clean it up other than the City. But that’s all. Thank you for the opportunity. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well I think we’ll all take responsibility for it, that’s for sure. (Laughter) SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes Director. SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: I do want to make public that it was not Tom Ream, the Safety Director. MEMBER SMITH: And Mr. President, I do want to make it public that I turned it in to be cleaned up. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 99 JOURNAL PAGE -742- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 12, 2011 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Very good, good job.

This Ordinance originally requested an Amendment to the paving contract to get that paved before the end of the year given the time constraints due to this being Capital money that we had held in reserve.

MEMBER CIRELLI: To the Service Director, Mr. Price, is all of the blacktopping finished now sir? Are they completed and why is there an increase in the price? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: I guess the fir...to answer the first question. The answer is yes, it’s complete and to answer you’re question from last week, I did check with the Engineer and forgot to mention that to you COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 99 JOURNAL PAGE -750- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 12, 2011 but I’ll share it with the whole Council and the public. The...well it was late in the year for this last bit of paving that the $575,000.00 covered, the Engineering Department inspects on a daily basis when the contractors are out there the contractor has an interest in making sure that the surface doesn’t go bad as well. So, the temperature ranges were within specifications by the way on the paving we have done so there should be no danger of, you know, any low temperatures affecting the surface and how it adheres. The increase, this is...this $575,000.00, these were all for additional streets, this was all unappropriated Capital Improvement funds that we freed up unfortunately late in the year but under the lifeboat theory that we’ve been operating under for the past three years due to the economic situation the City has been in, we held those funds back in case we needed them to operate, you know, in an emergency in case the last quarters or the...the third quarters income tax collections had come in lower than expected. They came in well enough that we were able to free up these Capital dollars. So these are all additional streets and when those dollars were freed up, I think it was agreed by most on Council and within the Administration that we ought to put that in the paving given that we kind of had to pay catch up. MEMBER CIRELLI: And...Mr. President and Mr. Price, thank you for that explanation. And were these the streets that the Council People had requested sir? SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Yes. MEMBER CIRELLI: Oh, thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Cirelli. Any other remarks? Hearing none, Madame Clerk roll call vote on Ordinance 11 as amended. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Twelve yeas Mr. President. #11 ADOPTED AS AMENDED AS ORDINANCE NO. 218/2011 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Madame Clerk.
