This is why I have so much admiration for our Clerk who has to read about 20 of these every night. We have a Public Hearing COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -296- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 scheduled at 7:30 and it’s AN ORDINANCE VACATING THE UNIMPROVED PORTIONS OF MAXINE AVENUE N.E., MARTHA AVENUE N.E., FAIRMONT STREET N.E., GRIDLEY AVENUE N.E., AND REGENT AVENUE N.E.; APPROVING AND ACCEPTING THE REPLAT OF THE VACATED STREETS AND OUTLOTS 1313 - 1316, 28728 - 28737 AND 42892 - 42969; AND DECLARING THE SAME TO BE AN EMERGENCY; THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE SAME IN WARD 6.

And repeating it as required, is there anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against this Vacation and Replat, please come forward. No one has come forward so the Chair declares the public hearing over. The matter now rests in the hands of Council and the Ordinance will follow later this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Old Business. I know that our Chief of Staff, it’s our understanding is doing much better. I think he’s supposed to be back with us tomorrow. So we wish him, you know, obviously he’s been in our thoughts and prayers and wish him the very best when he gets back to work. I’m sure he’ll have nothing on his desk needing any immediate attention. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Tonight we have under Public Speaks 7 speakers signed up. I just want to remind our speakers, a lot of you, in fact almost all of you have spoken before. But I will remind you to be courteous. We can have our disagreements as prayer from Member Fisher reflected. We can have our differences but we don’t have to be mean spirited toward one another and I hope that you’ll all show that kind of sense that we’re all in this together and we need to work together to solve our problems as opposed to being mean about it. So, for the first...our first speaker is James Parker. Mr. Parker, as always welcome. Would you come forward and give us your name and your residential address please. JAMES PARKER: Thank you, my name is James Parker. I reside at 630 Penny Street SE, in North Canton. Council President Schulman, concerning the stink I made over massage Ordinance 785, I believe William Shakspere had a poem that said “All the world is a stage and all the men and women are merely players on it.” However, if Canton City Ordinance 785 were to apply equally to all other professions as it does massage, like instructors of dance, yoga, combat instructors, I’d modify that to all the worlds a whore house and all the men and women are merely whores. Although, with that I may be insulting the oldest of professions. The interpellation of this code for massage carries a presumption of guilt by association not innocent until proven guilty. It reeks of an 80's college boy mind set of management by objective. For instance, if you’re intent to stop all the shoplifting at Walmart, you should search everyone on the way out. Objective met, 100%. The trouble is no one wants the has hassle and the unintended consequences are that nobody shops there, they go elsewhere. Criminal...so, they go elsewhere. The criminal for consensual massage without having met all the requirements of Ordinance 785 are a first degree misdemeanor. That of running a house of prostitution, a third degree misdemeanor, not nearly as severely punishable. Do I get it? No. What I believe is that this is a snapshot of a mind set antiquated. By that I mean of the western form of consciousness. Such as C.G. Young once wrote is by no means the same as consciousness pure and simple. Rather, it is a historically determined geographically limited entity that only represents a fraction of humanity. The extension of our form of consciousness should not take place at the expense of other forms of consciousness. Instead it should come about through the cultivation of those elements in our own psyche which are analogues to the qualities of the alien siting. Just as the east has ablide to cultivate our technology, our science and industry they have done so well. The European invasion of the east was an outrage on a grand scale that has left us noblesse oblige with COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -297- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 an obligation to gain something in understanding of the east. This is perhaps more of a necessity then we may realize at the present time. Wise words for 1928, pure and simple. 1971 Nixon visits China, 2013 Mayor Healy visits and very rightly so for the best interest Canton, Ohio. Please listen more carefully to his suggestions. Consider them a fresh gaze, so to speak. Sometimes the hardest point is unlearning what we think we already know but isn’t so. Ask Mayor Healy and his wife, they should be invited to all your houses, your homes for dinner to allow yourselves the opportunity to see just what exchange he had there and ask him about his trip. There and his wife, I believe his son is his immediate family are always welcome in mine. I hope we know what we can learn from where we can go with the people that are taking us over that we owe so much money to. They have learned our way of doing business very well. It’s about time we take a look at some of theirs. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Mr. Parker. Our next speaker is Dick Drake. Mr. Drake good evening. As always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. DICK DRAKE: My name is Dick Drake, 320 Sycamore Avenue SE. I’m an ISA Certified Arborists and I’m going...you guys are probably just glad it’s only three minutes I got here. A few weeks ago someone made comment of the cityscape trees and how beautiful they were. Well, I want to thank people in this Administration and past. Especially this one who have brought me along to where I am today, Mary Cirelli, Kevin Monroe and Doug Perry. Si...seven years ago I needed to become a Certified Arborist, I needed letters of recommendation and these people had confidence in me and made these letters out for me and I submitted them to be able to take this test. I told you before when someone becomes a Certified Arborist, they need at least three years of cutting in the trees industry. Long story short an Arborist is a specialist in the care of individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipt to provide proper care. (Inaudible) an Arborist it’s a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well cared for trees are attractive and can add some considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipt with the safety of trees. Now, I mentioned in the past, we get 10 to 20 people per month that get hurt or killed. On the average, 9 people die monthly in the tree industry. So, it’s gotten so bad that OSHA is stepping in now. They’re going to do random checks on all of the tree trimmers. No matter who you are or where you are, if they’re out and they see you working, they’re gonna stop and check your equipment, they’re gonna make sure you’re wearing the proper safety protective equipment, there’s gonna be fines leveled. So, I’m just bringing this up to the City. Hopefully we get our Ordinance going, we get our tree trimmers all registered because if you have someone working for you and they’re not up to code, there’s going to be fines leveled. Especially if there’s an injury and everyone’s gonna have to pay the price for this. And it’s a real dangerous profession. And I especially want to thank Dan Moeglin for letting me take care of the cityscape trees the last 5 years. As I said, you need young tree training to put them where they are today. Now all our trees are ornamental mostly in the cityscapes. Cosmetically they are beautiful, they’re a nice welcome mat for the City of Canton. But the most trees with the most value though are your old (inaudible) trees and we need these trees, they’re the backbone of (inaudible) are of the City and in the parks and we need to get after these parks and get our trees reg...regenerated, excuse me. Because without these old (inaudible) trees, you’re not gonna have the benefits payable to the City because they...they really save the City a lot of money, energy costs, storm water management and so forth. So, I just wanted to address this to you and let you know I’m trying real hard for you, I’ll do anything I can. I can be available to help anybody, assist. You know my number and could call. Thank you very much. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -298- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Mr. Drake. Thanks as always for everything, we do appreciate it. Our next speaker is Pete DiGiacomo. Mr. DiGiacomo, good evening and welcome as always to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. PETE DIGIACOMO: My name is Pete DiGiacomo, I live at 600 Dent Place SW, Canton, Ohio. A lot of times I come up here and speak before Council and the Administration and I don’t agree with some things so I’m critical of them. Tonight, I’m sorry Mr. Price is not here, he’s not feeling well but I wanted to send a message out for him and also for the Administration. The last few days, last...it was last week, SWAN had their neighborhood cleanup. The Street Department came in like a...like a herd of buffalo, I wanna say blitzkrieg but that’s not nice either. But it was like, they were everywhere, there were taking down very large...couple large trees that were dead already and I mean it was just...If you’d see a bunch of ants around a sugar cube, that’s was that South..SWAN’s area looked like. They were everywhere doing everything and so I just wanted to give everybody in the Street Department, all the folks that were there a good atta boy and let that trickle down and let them know because they did a hell of a job. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. That’s always good but we know we have great employees. Thank you Mr. DiGiacomo. Our next speaker is Bruce Nordman. Mr. Nordman as always again, welcome. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. BRUCE NORDMAN: Thank you. Good evening Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, Members of City Council. Group 175 is stronger than ever. We’ve been getting great support, ordinary citizens like ourselves as well as many highly influential people. We are delighted with the support that we’re given. Tonight I want to give a special thanks to Frank Morris, Kevin Fisher and Mary Cirelli for fighting to have $175,000.00 that we discovered in the general fund last week voted to crime and the hiring of more Police Officers. According to the Mayor and Joseph DiRuzza, the Finance Director, it could cost $1,335,000.00 for the first year to hire 25 new Police Officers. $175,000.00 would have been a nice down payment that would have been a 13% down payment on that 1,335,000. Seems like every week we find money. We found $360,000.00 for the Shotspotter over three years, 3 million for the Hercules Project, 2 ½% increase for non-union employees. Last week $175,000.00 for the Chamber of Commerce. These are all great causes but not one nickle for an increase in police strength. Last week Group 175 sponsored and ran in conjunction with the County Sheriff’s Department, the Stark County Veteran’s Service Commission at the American Legion Post 44 a job fair for the...for the new hirees. We are pleased to say it was a tremendous success, we got over 60 applications for the new positions and 10 that were taken home. It was a great....a great stride for safety in our...in our County. Now, I’m offering the same support when we get 175 officers, Group 175 will be more than happy to run a job fair for the City of Canton like we just did for the Sheriff. We got 12 new officers which brings us to 153 and with retirements at the end of the year, we’re going to be down to 148, which is 4 above where we ended last year. I just want to make note that we were at 177 when the Mayor was sworn in. So, now is the time for action. Let’s find some more money like the $175,000.00 that we found last week to get our police rank up to 175. Thank you so much for your consideration and time. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Mr. Nordman. Thanks for those comments. Our next speaker is Bruce Brewer. Mr. Brewer, good evening. Again as always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. BRUCE BREWER: My name is Bruce Brewer, I reside at 1520 Harvard Ave NW in Canton. Good evening COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -299- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 Members of Council and Mr. Mayor. I am once again speaking on behalf of Group 175. We have repeatedly asked for funding for the increase of Police Officers in the City of Canton and bas...buy some for doing so. I sat here...I sat during Council and heard arguments for the monies for the Chamber of Commerce, that vote was close and only approved by a tie breaker vote. I do not...I...I do think that the Chamber provide a special service to the City and the County. During the course of my research, I did find out that one individual for the Chamber of Commerce makes over $220,000.00 a year, 175,000 of that does not even pay his wages for one year. Although I know they provide a good service to the City and the County but I do believe that we need to find the funding for these Police Officers, get them on the street so we can provide the safety and well being of our neighbors. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much sir, appreciate your remarks. Our next speaker is Bret Moore. Mr. Moore, always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address please. BRET MOORE: Thank you and God bless you all. This week...and I ditto what both these great Bruces say. But this week was brought aware of some wording that was being put out on the internet by the Councilman whose running for Ward 9, basically bad mouthing Vassar Park Neighborhood Association and the 175 Group. This evening found out that this has been done in Council quarters too. And I would like to say Mr. Cole if you think you have a chance at that area in..in Ward 9, you have stirred up people that was not even probably gonna go out and vote and they’re going to be at the polls now. And I suggest you watch what you say about our group. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay, our last speaker is Henry Preston. Mr. Preston, good evening. As always welcome to Canton City Council. HENRY PRESTON: Thank you. My name is Henry Preston, I live at 326 31st Street NW. Tonight I want to applaud Council Member Cirelli, Fisher and Morris who served firm in their convictions last week in an attempt to control spending of the taxpayers money for the accountability in giving $175,000.00 to the Chamber of Commerce appears to be missing. There’s no benchmark to evaluate the results of the spending the taxpayers money as in how many jobs the Chamber of Commerce brings to the City. Council Members Cirelli, Fisher and Morris showed great courage voting no in the fix...in the face of very strong opinions articulated in the favor of giving the Council Chamber....the Chamber of Commerce the $175,000.00. Besides the dire financial needs of the fire and police departments, Canton is a City of potholes, everywhere within a 3 mile radius of Stark County Courthouse, there are potholes in almost every direction. Canton’s main arteries, Cleveland Avenue, Market and Tuscarawas Avenue exhibit many potholes. The point is Canton has many pressing financial obligations and Council Members Cirelli, Morris and Fisher demonstrated sound (inaudible) judgement voting no for what I consider a feel good expenditure. Mr. Denny Saunier, President and CEO of Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce told us last week that Canton’s $175,000.00 contribution has leveraged in a 17% of an economic development program to bring jobs to this area. He told us the Chamber of Commerce is working very hard with the oil and gas companies to make sure their operations are safe and done right. We don’t want any of the water in the aquafier...aquafers to be contaminated. Last week this Council voted unanimously to spend almost a half a million dollars for a study to determine if Canton’s aquafer water supplies would be in jeopardy with all the fracking activity nearby. Why would Council spend almost a half a million dollars to study the risk of aquafier contamination if the Chamber of Commerce is going to make sure the fracking operations are safe and done right. I don’t know of COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -300- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 anybody of sound mind who is honest and knowledgeable about the fracking process would say that the fracking processes are safe. Anybody who says the fracking processes are safe is either uninformed or intentionally not telling the truth. Every fracked well proposes risks. The more wells that are fracked, the more the risks increased. Gas wells leak many different ways. Methane leaks are often found through the pipeline system components, compressor seals, pump seals and valve packing. One of the most common components that fail is the cemented (inaudible). In the industry it has at least a 6% failure rate at the completion of the well. This failure increases during the life of the well. Spending a half a billion dollars to study aquafer contamination for fracking and then give the Chamber of Commerce $175,000.00 to (inaudible) fracking operation when in fact nobody could guarantee at the fracking operation were safe or done right. This seems to be the giving of $175,000.00 to the Chamber demonstrates that some on Council are...are not being good stewards of taxpayers’ money. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much sir. That concludes our Public Speaks. Appreciate all our speakers coming down this evening. We do listen to you and respect your opinions and appreciate you taking your time. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Informal Resolutions. We have a very important Informal Resolution tonight. Madame Clerk would you please read Informal Resolution 27. #27. COUNCIL AS A WHOLE: OPPOSING THE “RIGHT-TO-WORK” LAWS AND THE “WORKPLACE FREEDOM” CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. - ADOPTED PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader.

Any remarks? Member Cirelli. MEMBER CIRELLI: Thank you Mr. President. I would like to thank Council Member Edmond Mack for putting this Resolution together and then having our staff offer the rest of Council if they want to come on board with him. I want to thank him very much for doing that. Thank you sir. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Member Mack. MEMBER MACK: Thank you Council President. Thank you Member Cirelli but this isn’t my Resolution, this is our Resolution because this is an issue that is very important to the City of Canton and very important to the future of the middle class. So, I think everyone on this Council should be commended for standing up against what this Ordinance represents. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Okay any other remarks? All those in favor of Resolution #27 say aye. Those opposed no. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -301- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 NO REMARKS RESOLUTION #27 PASSED UNANIMOUSLY BY VOICE VOTE PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: The ayes resoundingly have it and the Motion carries and Resolution is adopted and we hope that we don’t see any so called right to work legislation.

MEMBER MARIOL: Mr. President. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -312- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 29, 2013 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Mariol. MEMBER MARIOL: Thank you Mr. President. About a week ago we had a fire on Cleveland Avenue at a car dealership. The building has been partially torn down and I’m not sure who can answer this but I’ve been receiving phone calls about the delay in tearing the whole thing down. Some of the problem is the close proximately to Worley Elementary. Children have been walking through the site and there’s a burned vehicle very close to the sidewalk. So, I was wondering if anybody might have some knowledge of when we can expect the full demo to be done. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you Mr. President. I do not have the time line on that but we did get the call earlier today. The Chief was in my office when we got that report. So, they’re going to see if they can get some sort of fencing or something up until that gets done. But they’re aware of it and they’re also going to let the property owner now that we have to take some safety precautions to keep the kids from being injured. Thank you. MEMBER MARIOL: Thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Mariol. Member West. MEMBER WEST: Yes, I just wanted to report on B-Earth Day that happened Saturday. It was a great event. I just wanted to thank Subway that delivered sandwiches and the Park Department gave us some tools along with a Public...Project Rebuild who also gave us some tools and we had a great time and planted a lot of flowers. In two weeks we’re going to be doing it again so if anybody’s interested in joining us, by all means come on down to Nimisilla Park. And then also on tomorrow...tomorrow at Nimisilla Park, there will be Stand Up for Ohio, we’ll be focusing on the foreclosure issue. So, if anybody’s interested in coming down I think that’s at noon at Nimisilla Park. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member West. Any other Miscellaneous Business?

He also suggested we study the Chinese m ethods of business like they have studied ours. Dick Drake thanked Mem ber Cirelli, Kevin Monroe and Doug Perry for providing letters of recom m endation he needed to get his ISA Arborists certification. There have been so m any accidents and deaths in the tree trim m ing industry that OHSA is now checking for licensing and safety factors at job sites. Pete DiGiacom o som etim es speaks critically of things within the city but tonight he wanted to thank the Street Departm ent and the m em bers of S.W .A.N. Neighborhood group. They cam e in like a herd of buffalo cleaning up, trim m ing trees, etc. They were everywhere doing everything and it looks great. Bruce Nordm an says Group 175 has been getting support from m any people. He thanked Mem bers Cirelli, Fisher and Morris for voting against m oney for the Cham ber of Com m erce because this was 13% of the m oney needed for the police officers they want hired. He wants all to keep in m ind there were 177 officers when the Mayor took office. Bruce Brewer states that Group 175 has repeatedly asked for funding for the Police Departm ent and he found a person with the Cham ber of Com m erce that m akes over $200,000.00 per year and the Council just gave them m ore m oney. Bret Moore says that Mem ber Cole has bad m outhed both Group 175 and the Vassar Park Neighborhood Association on the internet and he feels that m any people will com e to the polls as a result. Henry Preston also thanked the Mem bers who voted against the Cham ber. The city has a dire need for Police and Fire as well as all the potholes around the city. The Council also approved alm ost $500,000.00 for a study to verify the water and aquifers were safe from the fracking in the surrounding areas and the Cham ber is working with the gas and oil industry who would cause the contam ination of these aquifers.
