We have no Public Hearings scheduled this evening. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -652- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Under Old Business, I’ve been advised by the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Williams that we have no Old Business to discuss. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now on Public Speaks. We do have 2 speakers because Mr. DiGiacomo had his question answered before the meeting. Our first speaker is Jonathan Bailey. Mr. Bailey, good evening. Welcome to Canton City Council sir. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address. JONATHAN BAILEY: My name is Jonathan Bailey. I live at 405 3rd Street NE, Canton, Ohio. Go on about what I want to talk about? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Sure, go ahead. JONATHAN BAILEY: The issue today is, I was here before, it’s about the bicycle theft in the city of Canton which is just outrageous. Since the last time I spoke here, at least 5 people that I know of, who I associate on occasion have had their bikes stolen. I had some research done and according to the Canton City Police Department only 39 bikes were actually reported stolen which is a very small fraction of the actual bikes actually stolen because two were covered out of these 39. The vast majority of people never report another bike stolen ever again because they don’t get nothing back. What’s the point? The vast majority of these bikes are winding up in the scrap yards. The scrap yard companies are not required to give any of, record any state ID’s unless it’s over $100.00 worth of scrap. These bikes are going for under a $1.00 or less. My bike outside is comally steel. It’s worth $350.00. There needs to be something changed about how these bikes are scrapped. They...every frame that goes to a scrap yard, needs to have the serial numbers recorded and needs to have an ID and check and see if they’re stolen. It’s outrageous. This is hurting the poor community. Poor people in this town is what ride bikes. Poor people is what goes out and works and get jobs and that’s what they have for transportation. If they don’t have that, they can’t pay taxes. If they can’t pay taxes, they can’t pay any of you guys salaries. This is getting to be so bad now that people are getting hit in the head in the northeast end of town and they’re getting their bikes taken out from underneath them. And nobody bothers to report cause like I said, there’s nothing that gets done. We have to do something about this. This is hurting the poor community. It’s poor people that’s doing this to other poor peoples. We just found out today that we still have bicycle registration required in Canton, Ohio. I didn’t know that we still had that. I went and did that today. It cost me a whole dollar. Get you bikes recorded, registered for your kids. Get it done. We’ve got to do something. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mr. Bailey do you have any suggestions? JONATHAN BAILEY: Like I said, require these scrap metal places to get an ID for every single frame that comes in. Record the serial numbers of every single frame that comes in and if you can’t read the serial numbers, they can’t accept it. If you don’t have an ID, you can’t accept it and check again the registration against the theft that’s reported for stolen bikes. And if we start catching these guys and it will start getting out there that they’ll stop doing that as much. It’s ridiculous now. I’ve lived in Canton my whole life. I’ve seen the rise in tide and fall of bicycle theft in Canton and I’ve never seen it this bad before. Nobody can keep a bike. Mine’s locked up out front right now and I would stick around and listen to everyone else speak, but it’s probably going to be tested tonight. My lock has been tested about 20 times this year alone and it’s a very good lock but it’s not a guarantee that I’m going to keep it. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -653- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much sir. We appreciate you coming down. (APPLAUSE) Our next speaker is Christine Rippert. Miss Rippert good evening. Welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address and I will tell you our Law Director actually looked up the Ordinance you are going to discuss tonight so. CHRISTINE RIPPERT: OK. Sorry I had write all this down. I didn’t want to forget anything. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: That’s OK. CHRISTINE RIPPERT: My name’s Christine Rippert. I live at 3031 Millridge Circle in Canton. I am the Director of Woozie Animal Rescue. I’m also the owner of Not to Tabby ReSale shop. The location there is 2140 Cleveland Avenue NW. A little bit about me real quick. I’ve been rescuing animals about 12 years, started my own group about 10 years ago and it’s always been my dream to have a store like I have now where all the items are donated. All of us are volunteers so none of us are paid to work there and all the proceeds, 100% goes to help us do animal rescue, do low cost spay/neuter clinics for the community and help needy families with their pets. So I thought I was doing a good thing but, I was shocked to hear a message on our answering machine Friday morning from Darla, Zoning Inspector for the city. Although if she’s here or if you guys see her I’d like to thank, have you guys thank her for calling versus sending us a letter. I do appreciate that. But basically the message said that Mary Cirelli is complaining about items we place outside for sale. She said she doesn’t like the way it looks and she also brought up the vandalism incident we had with a client at the Friendship Center. Mary actually said that having items outside could be used to cause problems. I’m curious if she’s implying that we asked to be vandalized and to have our lives threatened. For the record, the violence that this whole incident actually started at the Friendship Center where that gentleman kicked in their plexiglass door and did other damage over there. After he left there, before coming to our place, he went across the street and was trying to pull hedges out of the ground. So, I guess those are also dangerous items. More dangerous items I would think are benches and cigarette recepticals that are outside the Friendship Center. I would think that those could be picked up and thrown into windows like what happened at our business and not that I’m net, nitpicking but if our place looks like an eyesore, have you looked around that neighborhood like the two abandon houses across the street with the broken windows and the doors that are kicked in or at all the trash, the cans, the pop bags, the chip bags, the hypodermic needles that we pick up that are littering the streets that we pick up every morning but I find it ironic that she hasn’t mentioned any of the good things that we’ve done for the community. Especially the folks at the Friendship Center such as giving them free clothes, free household items. We’ve paid to have many of their pets spayed on our dime. We’ve given them free pet food. I’m not clear on the Ordinance, it’s a little confusing to me, 1129.18 but I’m assuming that it means businesses are not allowed to place items outside for sale. If I can’t do that any longer that’s going to put us out of business. We can’t afford to advertise. We can’t afford a sign. All of our money is going into helping animals so I just wondered how that helps charities like us and educational organizations. Like I said, all the profits from our store help us help animals and people and I don’t see how a few Halloween and Christmas decorations in the yard of a building we own is a problem in the big scheme of things. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: The Law Director, Joe Martuccio said if you stick around he’ll be here after the meeting. He’ll be happy to discuss it with you. CHRISTINE RIPPERT: OK. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: OK, thank you very much. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -654- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 CHRISTINE RIPPERT: Thank you.

PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Miscellaneous Business. Do we have any Miscellaneous Business? Member Cirelli. MEMBER CIRELLI: Thank you Mr. President. I have a couple things here. One of them is that and I had called on about this...I got a call from a constituent that turned Channel 8 on one evening. The news was one and they were having the fact that Cleveland was passing something on their City Council that sexual predators COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -666- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 could not be turning...cause we have Trick or Treat coming, so they were cautioning them. They were wanting to have them not turn their lights on because the kids are drawn to where the lights are at. Now usually here we have it from I think 5 to, or 3 to 5 so usually, well people turn their lights on anyhow but I had spoke with the Law Director and he said that, you know that would be kind of a good thing to at least talk about so we can make parents aware to be very careful when we’re out there because we do have sexual predators and that is something that you know, we don’t want any children to be harmed and what have you. So, if it should go where we have it when it’s dark then that should be something maybe we should think of down the road to do. Then I have a couple other things. I was delighted that the Repository put their real estate transfers is now comes out on a Friday so that they’ve changed their format so that could help our offices here check about the properties that are being moved in the city of Canton. And then I also had, I think we all got this about the electrocution death from, in Pennsylvania, $109,000,000.00 verdict for FirstEnergy, against FirstEnergy for a 39 year old woman was killed on a wire that was down. An electrical wire and her children witnessed this as well as her mother-in-law and we’ve had people come...I’ve had people contact me in saying you know, they had buried the wires in downtown Canton why not whenever they’re doing these projects into the neighborhoods as well can they not bury the wires, the electrical wires. And of course, I spoke with the Engineer and he’s always saying it’s too expense but, when you see what can come out of this, a death of a mother and a loved one, that’s, I don’t think there’s any expense that can make for a persons life. So that’s one thing. Then one of the houses, and yes this is across from the Friendship Center, and you’ve brought it up many times. 2123 Cleveland Avenue and I want to ask the Law Director, do we now have an enforcement if we turn in the person that is claiming to be responsible for that building or the buildings, the houses or what have you that we can contact them and have them put a $10,000.00 bond. Is that ready to go sir? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director Martuccio. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President, Member Cirelli. Under the terms of our amended Foreclosure Ordinance if they meet the terms and conditions, yes. I am happy to say the Mayor has devoted some staff to, I don’t if Mr. Stone is here tonight but, there are some folks working on it and I understand there’s been one bond perhaps already collected. Yea, so again if the terms and conditions are met, it’s something we can look at to do. MEMBER CIRELLI: OK and I just want to clarify, anybody that drives there will see 2123 is one of the two houses that you yourself Mr. President have spoke of and the address has been put on with some type of a permanent marker or something and the door is wide open there and the way...it seems like our Building Department is sort of in a flux. After I saw the letter that one of our Council Members received it’s like who do we report this to and it is being sold. Now the seller is from Cutler. His name is Mike Boylan. I have his phone number here. Can we call him, tell him to board up his building and can he therefore, he’s taking ownership whenever he’s the salesperson, put a $10,000.00 bond on that building. I think we should look into this because it’s wide open and the way that the address is put there it almost, somebody just went up and put it there as if like maybe there going to use if for a drug place or something. You can’t miss it if you’re coming south. However I pulled into the driveway and went around and checked it out and you can see right through into the building so it needs to be taken care of. And I would like to speak also with that young lady about the issue of Canton Friendship Center because the way it was put to me was that it was one of the, a pole that they had picked up whenever something they were selling that this gentleman, a steel pole had broken a window and threatened them. And I for one do not like where the Friendship Centers at. If I would have been in Council cause I’m one of the founding organization mothers on the Board Members of this, 1984-85. It’s a social recreational center for de-institutionalized, mentally ill, lonely, depressed and handicapped people. It since then has become a payee program. Now when people get their monies and that’s whenever their very active, they are enticed to go where they can find a bargain and what I was upset about, there was a walker out there that could COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -667- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 be folded up and smashed into a window, there was an animal, metal animal carrying device, there was a stroller and then there was some wooden, like it was either something for Christmas or what have you and I appreciate them giving the people from the center clothes and what have you because their money is tight and this is a population whether we like it or not, it’s not going to go away. And we are the keepers of them. I don’t want them to do any damage to anybody and as well as I don’t want them to be hurt. Had I been in Council whenever this Honorable Body allowed it to be moved from 919 Walnut Avenue NE or which we leased them the building, being the city of Canton for a $1.00 a year and we gave that property to Nationwide and had that building torn down. I would have fought about, against it being moved to where it’s at because it is not a condusive area for it. But it’s something, and at that time it was not even a payee program. So, and most people are not aware, the people of the payee program, they don’t have much money to go there and their charged $38.00 a month to have somebody help them with their monies cause they cannot always manage their money. I know, now you’ve got more to ponder about, I seen that look on your face but you know, the money’s got to come from apparently somewhere and I image they, I’ve seen all the forms. I went through all of it cause like you said, the whole mission seems to have changed a lot and yes I was concerned and I just didn’t feel...when I saw what was out there and that was on a Thursday, last Thursday. I felt like those, the people that are there have some problems that they could go over there and use any of those things. You could fold up that walker and that could be used as a weapon and to me it was like putting things out there, dangling candy from, to a child and telling them they can’t have it. So that was what I was concerned about is because I didn’t want to see any more problems for them or the resale shop or the tanning business there. So that’s my, you know explanation of it all whatever. I appreciate it. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Cirelli. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: I have a few things here actually. I was researching just for Council’s knowledge as well as the community, I was researching some legislation we did in the past around our dumpster legislation, we did this back in 2012 and I was happy to learn that our new Sanitation officer, Mark Adams has been enforcing that Ordinance and in five months, out of 5 months, he’s already brought in $25,000.00 to the city and that Ordinance was all about when rentals, when people get evicted they have to provide a dumpster and I’m thankful to say that you know, Mark has enforced that Ordinance and it’s already brought $25,000.00 in. The other thing is as Joe Martuccio has indicated the foreclosure Ordinance already received $10,000.00. It’s first bond and a letter has even went out so people are already complying with that Ordinance so some of the things that we do down here does provide some fruit. Another thing, next week I plan on bringing down a Resolution asking this Council to support a Minority Business Assistance Center here in the city of Canton in collaboration with Cleveland and Akron and several of our local minority or small business developers here in the city so that will come down next week so....I may send it to a little earlier before so you can have some input on it. And the last thing I wanted to talk to about, I didn’t vote for the Informal Resolution in reference to firefighters and I didn’t vote against it. That was actually a really difficult decision on my part because two years ago I was here when we fought, when we actually took the captains away because we talked about, we had too many chiefs and not enough indians. This year I heard the Chief come and say we need some more indians. We need some more firefighters on the ground so I’m not clear on, in terms of us returned the existing captains but at the same time I’m not voting against it but I need more information. So, that’s why I didn’t vote it or against it. And I’m hoping that in the near future the Mayor and of course the Safety Director will come down to us and give us a sense on what do we need to keep the city safe and I don’t know if Andrea you can bring that down to us or someone could cause I’m under the impression that our city needs more firefighters and like I said, more COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -668- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 indians not chiefs. So, I just wanted to mention that just for my own conscience and put it on record. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member West. Any other remarks? Member Griffin. MEMBER GRIFFIN: Mr. President, the Tree Commission had a meeting last Tuesday after, evening and I just want to announce that we are going to have an Arbor Day celebration next year, April 26th. It will be in the Stadium Park around the Garden Center is the focal point and you’ll get more information on it after the 1st of the year. I want you to know that Arbor Day is coming with the planting of the trees, etc. so we’re working on that. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great thank you, Member Griffin. Any other remarks? SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Sorry. SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: I just wanted to take the opportunity to introduce and welcome Amy Slater who is our new Director of HR so you guys can put a face with a name. Amy. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Miss Slater you want to stand up. (APPLAUSE) Congratulations. It’s a very easy job if you have a gun in your drawer. Anything else? Leader. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President with that comment, I move to adjourn. CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Excuse me. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Hold on. Oh, that’s right, I forgot. CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Yes I’m sorry. I had a letter that came into the Council Office they had ask me to read so if you can enlighten me for a few moments. Dear Mr. Dougherty, Majority Leader in Canton City Council. As a senior, retired citizen I take a bus downtown Canton to visit shops, visit City Hall or just have lunch and meet friends at the Arcadia Grill. I’ve seen the list of Canton City Merchandise like caps, key chains, pens or shirts you are selling and I like it. Canton needs a bicycle police riding in the summer on Canton streets too. As a long time resident of Wards 4 and 5 before I moved, I always done my part in Canton over many years on many issues and wrote many letters to the Repository to help our fair city as all residents should but don’t or do, right? I also believe Canton needs a motto to put on the Welcome to Canton sign and it also should put on the Canton cops, excuse me, the caps, cups and shirts. Do you agree? Enclosed is a letter he wrote saying “Welcoming to Canton, Thank you for coming”. He just wanted to share the letter that Canton is a great city and we should do more to welcome people in the city. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Madame Clerk. Very nice. Leader. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President I move we adjourn. MEMBER GRIFFIN: Seconded. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded that you adjourn. Madame Clerk roll call vote. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -669- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 21, 2013 NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Twelve yeas Mr. President.
