This is a very interesting fact, at least I hope you’s, hope you find that this is an interesting fact. Did you know Arbor Day was first celebrated in 1872? And also it was established by the State Board of Agriculture because of a Resolution by Jay Sterling Morton who was a Journalist and an Editor of Nebraska. Nebraska used to be a treeless state but you wouldn’t know that now. Arbor Day is now celebrated worldwide and each state has its own appointed Arbor Day. Ohio’s is the last Friday in April. I’m pleased to tell you that an Arbor Day will be celebrated in Downtown Canton actually at Church of the Savior. Right up a block from us on Saturday April the 26th from 10 o’clock to 1 o’clock and hopefully we’ll also be able to plant a tree on that day which is interesting in the middle of downtown. We even have a young artist developing an Arbor Day cover. Jennaeh, raise your hand please. She represents Timken High School. And also Arbor Day / birthday will be celebrated in Nimishillen Park at a later date. But I hope you can make it. Thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much Ms. Kirk.

I just want to say it’s it’s winter and we’re all tired of snow and I’m ready to just start get busy. That’s my topic. Let’s just get busy. My neighborhood is looking good. Five years ago when I started our Neighborhood Association, there was a whole list of houses that need to be torn down Mayor. Pretty much got almost all of ‘em. My neighborhood looks good. It might not have a whole lot of houses but we don’t have anything all torn down in our neighborhood. Thank you very much. I wanted to give you that. I’m just saying if we break, we planted great ideas, we’re reaping some action here and we’re seeing some things grow. That’s how our City is going to grow. I live real close to downtown which is looking real good. Give yourselves a hand for that COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -193- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 and I’m telling you I am excited about things going on. I heard on the radio about that and I don’t think they’ve torn down a school in Canton City in a long time but I believe Washington is down! It’s gone! The blight is gone and I thank you for that. It’s looking good and I understand we’re going to do a garden? We got to talk. I have some ideas! I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get busy! It’s a new year, we’re changing gears. No more snow. Now we can outside we can play and I can’t wait to get out there and get busy. And like you said, we’re going to be doers of the word, not hearers only. And our neighborhood and our city, we’re going to make it happen. One neighborhood at a time. One person at a time and one moment at a time. We’re not going to waste. We’re not just gonna man can do, do all you can, sit on your can and then collect a few cans. We’re gonna get out there and do something about it. So, thank you for everything. I thank Tom West who is our Councilman in Ward 2 where I am. And I’m looking forward to greater and more exciting things going on. Thank you very much Council for all that you do.

The decision was made to promote Mr. Harris because of basically succession planning. Mr. Harris has a Class 3, we need a Class 4 to run our plant. Currently we have one Class 4, that’s our current Superintendent, Mr. Tracy Mills. So this decision was made to promote Mr. Harris to Assistant Superintendent so he could begin earning his Class 4 License because only the Assistant Superintendent and the Chief Operator which you will see in the second stipend, those are the two positions at our plant which can earn a Class 4 License, and hence eventually take over as the Superintendent. The intent behind the second, the second stipend is just that, to have a second person other than Mr. Harris who will be serving in the two roles, provided that, that we go through the Civil Service process. I think it will be an ex, exceptional appointment there but that’ll have to go through Civil Service. The second position is the Chief Operator. Somebody serving as both Chief Operator and one of the following three positions: a Maintenance Chief, a Chief Chemist, an Industrial Waste Supervisor. Those are four positions that are all on the same pay grade however; the Chief Operator position is the only position of those four that can eventually earn a Class 4 License. You have to be in Operations to earn a Class 4 from Ohio EPA. So that’s the intent behind the stipends. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -206- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Smuckler. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President, are we again, are we getting rid of the other positions that aren’t going to be filled. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. SERVICE DIR BARTOS: Mr. President. These, the positions, the Facility Engineer position will still be there. They’ll have, you’ll have one person in the Assistant Superintendent and Facility Engineer position. And then you’ll have one person in the Chief Operator and one of the following three. Those three positions are currently filled. The Maintenance Chief, Chief Chemist, Industrial Waste Supervisor. Those are all filled. So those three people will all be candidates for the Chief Operator stipend. The Chief Operator position probably wouldn’t be filled but this is a good time for us to start succession planning with Mr. Mills so close to retirement. The Facility Engineer position, we need an Engineer on the project and quite frankly, the only person capable and qualified to handle the Engineering on this project is Mr. Harris because number one he’s a skilled Engineer and number two he’s been on the project for five to six years now. MEMBER SMUCKLER: I’m not MAYOR HEALY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mem MAYOR HEALY: Mr. President, thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mayor Healy. MAYOR HEALY: The answer is, as long as there’s a stipend those positions will not be filled. The stipend is in place of a full-time position. So we’ll have one person handling the second job with a stipend. If we hire a second person for that full-time position, the stipend goes away. So, no they won’t be both filled. If that answers your question. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mayor. MEMBER SMUCKLER: That, that does answer my question and, and part of the problem has been that we say this is going to happen and then somewhere down the road, these jobs get filled. And not just here, it’s ten years down the road, twenty years down the road and the job gets filled. And everybody’s sitting here going saying, “Well I seem to remember this happened twenty years ago” and we said this isn’t going to happen. A la Assistant Major in the Police Department. Now I see something on the agenda to fill the Assistant Major in the Police Department. Now, that’s what wrankles me here is because yea we can say this isn’t going to happen but we lead these positions in and it happens. Constantly Mayor. Now, I remember when Major Diamond retired they were suppose to get out. Now, my concern is, if we don’t take these out of here someone down the road will fill ‘em. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mayor Healy. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you. I’ll be happy to address that. You know, we have in the Waste Water Treatment Facility, we are required to have two Class 4, one Class 4 what’s it called its license.  COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -207- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 SERVICE DIR BARTOS: Class 4 Waste Water Treatment Operator License. It’s through the Ohio EPA. It’s essentially like having a Doctorate in Waste Water. MAYOR HEALY: You cannot operate this system without having that. That, that certified position. Tracy Mills is going to be retiring in about four, four and a half years. It takes several years to get this licensing in this position so we have to move somebody into this role so that they can qualify so that they can have somebody to step in when Tracy retires. What we’re trying to do is position ourselves so that we have at least one and possibly two options because if we get one ready and he takes a job with another City site, we’re back to scround, ground zero. So, this is something we’re doing for succession planning as well as the needs that we have in that department. And I will be more than happy to address the police issue with you right now or another time. MEMBER SMUCKLER: We’ll do that another time. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mayor. Any other remarks? MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Dougherty. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Yea, to the Service Director and everybody whose worked on this. Thank you. You are heading in the right direction. Set yourself up ten, fifteen, twenty years down the line. It’s very important that we have good people running those positions and getting people trained to get there and at the same time saving money. So, that’s the bottom line. If we want to put in there, that you, you don’t want those filled and if they do get filled the stipends go away it’s a simple amendment. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Doughery, Member Dougherty. Yes. SERVICE DIR BARTOS: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. SERVICE DIR BARTOS: In by, by its language itself I would defer to the law, the legal representation here but you have to hold both positions simultaneously to be eligible for the stipends so should another person fill it, then that stipend would go away. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Director. Any other remarks on Ordinance 19 as amended? Hearing none Madame Clerk would you call the roll, oh no? It has not been amended? CLERK TIMBERLAKE: No. (Inaudible) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well I’m glad you’re with me.

Hearing. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes, Member Smuckler. MEMBER SMUCKLER: I don’t have an issue with any individual here. I just think when we have ambulance service that isn’t on all the time. That when we have police problems, when we have water rate increases and sewer rate increases of totaling eleven percent between the two of ‘em and four years before forty-three percent. I just believe, my own personal opinion, I just believe that we oughta go with the two percent for everybody until we’ve taken care what we need to take care of in the rest of the city. My opinion only. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Smuckler. Any other remarks? Number 20. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: Just real, real quick, real brief. And I speak to all of these gentleman here are fantastic. I think we’ve really out did ourselves with the people that we selected for some of these jobs. But I would like to talk about Kyle Stone specifically because this is a young man who just about to get his Law Degree here in a month or so. And we’ve talked a lot about trying to retain staff. The Law Department says they can’t keep a African American Lawyer in their office because they always leave. Kyle Stone since he’s gotten that seat, he has really ramped up our Foreclosure Ordinance and brought in over two million dollars. He wrote a grant and COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -209- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 actually got three positions funded through a grant that now he’s overseeing. I think looking at his position alone, I know that’s worthy of his increase and initially when asked he’s taking on more and more and more responsibility. And I think it’s a lot more than two percent. When we look at Nick Loukas and James DiMarzio. These guys are class acts. Anyone and Lord knows if we don’t bring them up to speed, we will lose them at some point and that’s definitely something that we don’t want to do. So, I’m asking this Council to get behind these three individuals and support their increase. Thank you. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member West. Member Dougherty. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Yea as far as Mr. DiMarzio and Mr. Loukas, if we’re not careful we’ll lose them and then when we have to replace them it’ll be a lot more than what we’re going to pay them today.

That is not my car. That’s why it’s the coolest car. On Communication 129 that I wrote. I think I have to read what I wrote because my brain was thinking one thing and obviously my pen and eyes were writing something else down there. So I need to reread that but what I wanted that letter to say, and I beg your forgiveness is to disconnect the spoutings from the sewer lines that now run into the sanitary lines not disconnect the house drains. (Laughter) So, again I apolo, it must have been I knew I was going to be driving that blue car and I just lost my mind. But that’s, that’s what that letter is suppose to say and I will rewrite it and resubmit it. So I apologize for any inconvenience. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President.

Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Dougherty.  COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -213- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: This is the last week for people to sign up for the Affordable Care Act. And, we really, I’m asking all Council Members to look at that age group 18-35. Those are group that really needs some assistance in signing up. Today, of course Mayor did a press conference with Don Plusqalic, Plusquellic up in Akron. Did a great job and I just think it’s real important for all of us to really reach, reach out to these young people and get them signed up so that this will drop our, not only will it increase health insurance and help close those disparities that we’ve talked about for many years, it will also help drop the cost of, of the emergency rooms. So just asking everybody to reach out and tell people to contact the Goodwill Campus down there A.B.L.E. Incorporated, Access to Health. There’s the Community Clinic Quest Recovery Services and a lot of services out there so call 211 if you need some information. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member West. Mayor Healy. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you Mr. President. Just want to make announcement that April 8th is going to be the State of the City. We’ll have the budget done by the end of the month. We’ll be able to finalize the numbers on the Police and hire, Police and Fire hiring. So I’ll be doing the State of City that evening. Doors open at 5, speech starts at 5:30. Should be done around 6:30 and then from 6:30 to 7:00 we’ll be a doing a swearing in ceremony for our new Police and Fire that we’ve been working on hiring. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great. MAYOR HEALY: It will be at the Civic Center Downtown. So, PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And the date is again Mayor. Civic Center? MAYOR HEALY: April 8th. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. MAYOR HEALY: We’ll have more notices go out, but I thought I’d take the opportunity to share with this body and invite everybody and hope to see you all there. Thanks. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Any other remarks? I told my favorite Safety Director I was going to give her a little nudge tonight those two homes that we’re trying to get rid of or do something with on Cleveland Avenue are still there. They are outrageous. Particularly on a main corridor into Downtown Canton. I am sick and tired of watching, seeing this building. And they apparently, and I know Safety Director’s doing everything she can. She’s been told these people are gonna fix it up. There isn’t a chance that those places are going to get fixed up. I mean they have to be water damaged, they have to be full of rats and it’s a disgrace that anybody driving down one of the main corridors in the City has to look over and see something that looks like it was bombed out in World War II. So, I’m hoping next week we can get some definitive answer on those two horrible symbols of decay which our City is not. So, with that Leader. MEMBER MORRIS: Motion to adjourn. MEMBER SMITH: Seconded. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -214- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 24, 2014 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded to adjourn.
