PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now under Public Speaks. We do have 2 speakers this evening. Both good subjects. Our first is Greg Sanford. Mr. Sanford would you step forward please. Welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please sir. GREG SANFORD: Thank you very much. The name is Greg Sanford. I’m at 1537 Henry Avenue SW. First off I wanted to come, I wanted to thank Mr. President and the Mayor and City Council and give a thanks to the City...the clean up crews. We’ve had a big problem in our area. What it is, on our underpass on the freeway. We’ve had a problem with finding mattresses underneath there and beer cans and a few other things I don’t want to mention because I see some young people in here, I don’t think it would be appropriate to say some of the things I also found. I don’t know if they’re running a bed and breakfast under there and a house of ill repute or what’s going on. (Laughter) But I wanted to say, you know, mainly that’s what I wanted to do is come out and thank, you know, for all that you’ve done and we’re still having problem there. I’m finding where they’re having bonfires underneath there, we’re finding beer cans. Hey I don’t mind the beer cans, hey I can take them to recycling and get some money out of them. But it’s...the problem is that a lot of them are breaking bottles up underneath the underpass which causes a lot of problems for vehicles. Now I don’t mind cleaning something up but you know, it’s just going to be a matter of time because we’ve got a lot of people who don’t know what the speed limit is. Somebody’s gonna hot rod underneath there, hit that glass and we’re going to have a major problem when they get a flat. So, I just wanted to present these problems to you and I hope that there is something that somebody can do to address this problem. Thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Mr. Sanford, appreciate it. Our next speaker is Bruce Nordman. Mr. Nordman, if you’ll step forward. As always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -672- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 28, 2013 BRUCE NORDMAN: My name is Bruce Nordman I live at 1623 Logan Ave NW. Good evening Mr. Mayor, Council President and Ward Councilman. Tonight we’re here to talk about a momentous event. Six weeks ago as I stood before you talking about the biggest game in the United States...the biggest high school game, which is the McKinley, Massillon game. And you go through Massillon and it looks like Halloween and you drive through our City and it looks like we don’t even have a football team. So, after meeting with the Mayor and his staff, we got ‘er going. We, in a day and a half, raised the funds, Group 175 raised the funds to put the two banners that are up, actually we had almost enough for 3 but not enough time to make them. So, as you go around the City, 1 of them is on the 3rd Street bridge on Market Avenue, 3rd Street South. The other is up on the top of the Chase building hanging off of the Canton wall...or the Canton Club wall. We had 18 businesses contribute to this for which we’re very grateful. They’re names were published on the big giant thron at the last football game, that’s television screen for those who don’t know what it is. And they will be mentioned in the upcoming programs. The fund driving is continuing because we’re now raising funds for additional banners for next year and additional flags. So, thank you all everyone in this room, if you don’t have one has a press release which covers all of this event and this Friday we have the beat Massillon parade which is going to kick off from the old McKinley High School. All the details are located here. Now, I am asking every Ward Council Chairm...Council....Councilman every Councilman at Large, the Mayor, the departments and anybody in this audience who has access to email, Facebooks, fax, texting, semaphore signals, smoke signal blankets, let’s get our citizens down for this parade which is going to be this Friday, 4:30 kicking off from the old McKinley High School. Let’s show these kids that we care. This is the restart and the renewal of a tradition. This...unfortunately just fell apart for a lot of reasons but we’ve got it started. This is step one, you know, to be a giant step next year. We’re looking to make this a junior Hall of Fame Parade and this is all for our kids for the school and for the City of Canton. I remember when I was in Detroit right after the riots and the Tigers won the World Series, it united the City. Let’s...this is a uniting kind of event. Let’s get down there and support it, please. Get the word out. Thank you very much. UNKNOWN SPEAKER IN THE AUDIENCE: (Inaudible) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Mr. Nordman. And thank you little pup in the audience. Mr. Sanford, do you mind coming up one more...one more time? We have one question. I know you mentioned this overpass but and I’m not sure I got the address, would you mind.... GREG SANFORD: Okay, what it is, on Henry. You know where Henry and 15th Street is Mr. Schulman? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Right. GREG SANFORD: Okay, you got that underpass as you head out, you know, north heading toward Navarre. I don’t know, somebody’s...I don’t know if one of the bars is giving out booze or what but.... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: No, that’s okay. We just wanted to make sure we... GREG SANFORD: ...just so you know where it’s at. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well don’t say that too loudly because we might have people heading over there. (Laughter) COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -673- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 28, 2013 INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Informal Resolutions.

Never play around when the stove is on. When you have a stove on don’t leave your house. Don’t let a child younger than 15 use the stove. Don’t put clothes near a stove. Don’t talk on the phone when a stove is on. Never put oil or paper by the stove. More ways to prevent a kitchen fire include never putting a fork in the toaster or putting a paper plate in a microwave. Don’t put any kind of liquid by a stove, microwave or toaster. Don’t put metal or wood by the stove or microwave because it can cause a kitchen fire. Never let gas in the kitchen or it can cause a fire. Don’t forget to turn off your stove, toaster or microwave when you leave your house. These are ways to prevent kitchen fires from happening in the kitchen. Remember to always be responsible in the kitchen. (APPLAUSE) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great. Congratulations Zion and congratulations to the Moore family and we really appreciated those comments. And by the way, for our award recipients, you do not have to stay for the rest of the meeting unless you insist but you’re showing no disrespect if you want to leave, so.

I’m going to turn this over to the Mayor to begin our Miscellaneous Business this evening. Mayor Healy. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you Mr. President. And I’d like to just remind folks that the election is coming up a week from tomorrow and there was a nice endorsement from the Repository on our park levy and I know that this Council had passed a Resolution supporting that as well as dedicating any access funds that would be brought from that to safety forces. I want to take this opportunity to formally endorse the parks levy and I have a press release here I’ll read real quickly. Just that I formally announce my endorsement of the park levy which is issue 1 coming up on the November 5th ballot. The levy is essential to building stronger parks. It will create a dedicated revenue stream for our parks, provide dollars to maintain program at our community centers and establish a capital fund to invest in the infrastructure of our parks. The passing of Issue 1 is the first step in the eventual merger of Parks and Recreation into one department. With the Parks and Recreation department’s merge the City will be able to more effectively provide services to our community and create more efficient single department rather than two separate departments that operate independently. Strong community centers are important to building strong neighborhoods and the money generated from this park levy will ensure that our community centers such as the Babe Stearn Center and the Edward Peel Coleman Community Center will be able to provide the programming that will be....that will better serve our community and continue to have an active presence in our neighborhoods. By earmarking money generated from the levy specifically for the Parks Department, the levy protects our Canton park’s system and will also create a separate stream for the Park Department separating it from the general fund. That will also free up over a million dollars from the general fund that will be used to improve the City’s safety forces. So with that I formally endorse this levy and with the passage of this, it will be another big step in all of us helping move Canton forward. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mayor. And to follow up on the Mayor, I think...and to follow on what Bruce Nordman said, we all have...a lot of us do facebook pages. I certainly encourage each of us to go on our facebook page everyday this week and the weekend and make those endorsements. Not only for this but for other elections that are coming up. Any other Miscellaneous Business? MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: Speaking of parks, this past weekend, Steve Koons and the building trades rebuilt a shelter in Nimisilla Park, it looks wonderful so I wanted to give them a shout out and also Pastor Tommie Brewer from Gethsemane Baptist Church came down and gave free lunches out to the men that were working for free. Now mind you, this was a shelter that we was not going to be able to build because we didn’t have the funds. As a matter of fact they were going to get rid of it and Steve Koons and the building trades, Dave Kirven stepped up and they rebuilt it and they paid for everything and now we have a shelter again. So, I just wanted to send a...you know, let everybody know that they did that and when you see them give them a pat on the back because it was well...I mean we really appreciated it. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member West. Any other Miscellaneous Business? Hearing none, Leader. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 101 JOURNAL PAGE -688- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 28, 2013 MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Yeah Mr. President on that...Member West if you could get with the office staff and maybe get a letter drawn up, a thank you that all Council can sign off on and we can send it to them.
