PUBLIC HEARINGS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Public Hearings. There are none scheduled this evening.
OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re under Old Business and I will turn this over to the Mayor’s Chief of
Staff, Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams.
CHIEF OF STAFF WILLIAMS: Thank you Mr. President. At the April 14th meeting we had several guests
that had discussed some issues throughout the city. The first was Mr. Tim Porter had requested that the police
enforce curfews. Safety Director Perry did have that conversation with Chief Lawver. Mr. DiGiacomo talked
about the subcontractor for AEP leaving large pieces of trees behind when they trim and I believe he had a
conversation with Service Director Bartos in that regards and that is ongoing so we’ll continue to report back
on that. Also Mrs. Ida Webb talked about a vacant lot next to her property that’s full of limbs and trash and
also needing attention to be mowed. So we are looking at that Mrs. Webb. I thought I saw her earlier in the
audience. OK. Mrs. Betty Bradley had a question about money to relocate residents that live in the flood
zone. Mrs. Bradley that’s something we’re looking into. Typically money like that comes from FEMA but
it’s a pretty long extensive process so I assure you, we’ll continue to look into that and get back to you in that
regard. Mr. Jack Hawk asked about the changes to the Civil Service exam. I know Law Director Martuccio’s
is working on that. That also is an ongoing process and Mrs. Gwen Corbett requested that potholes are filled
in the southeast end and I know Director Bartos is also following up on that with Superintendent Rorar. That
concludes the Old Business. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Chief of Staff Williams.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Speaks. We have three speakers this evening. Our first
is Mr. Charles Killins. Mr. Killins, as always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name
and your residential address please.
CHARLES KILLINS: My name is Charles Killins. I live at 1223 Market. Directed to Mr. Martuccio. Here I
have some pictures that I took in relation to the city where the Safety Department, the Health Department said
they been looking at the house. Well you can see here’s one where the Old Timers, right across from the Old
Timers right there on 12th Street where it’s supposed been you know, one of the upstanding place yet the city
has not done anything to have those people clear up that property but yet and still I have noticed from Mr.
Martuccio. Remember when they tore my house down, they didn’t pay me and it’s not clear as to who
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -269-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 21, 2014
actually owned it, whether the Timken Company or Antioch Baptist. I have to do some more work on that and
I was wondering, could you get me the telephone numbers of the Antioch Baptist preacher so I can call him
and find out as to what the owned so I can send it to the Courts and have them rule on the property. And
here’s a copy right down off of Cherry you have 3 houses. You like to see the pictures? They supposed to be
in good condition but yet still I think they been about 6, 8, 10 years and they haven’t done anything about it.
But yet and still, when I had my house over there on Carnahan, had a few things around it, they said it was
junky and on Cherry, right here, this fella got a whole lot. A whole block of trash in a fence. Yet and still the
city has done nothing about in relation to health hazards there and it’s really a health hazard. If you go down
there, you could see it. And the other buildings right here, not far from here are in bad condition yet and still,
the Health Department has not visited them or served any papers in relations to have them clear it up. Thank
you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mr. Killins very much.
CHARLES KILLINS: Would you like to see these pictures here? (Provided photographs to Member Mack to
pass around)
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you sir. Our next speaker is Tim Porter. Mr. Porter as always welcome to
Canton City Council. If you’ll again give us your name and your residential address please.
TIM PORTER: My name’s Tim Porter. 1107 10th Street NW. Just a real quick thing. Somebody needs to
look into our Code Enforcement Department. If you guys look at your calendars and see today’s date, the city
just cashed a check that I turned in on March 7th. March 7th. You know that’s over a month to cash a check
and when we called to find out why it took that long, they told me they have not opened mail since February
25th. That’s what they told me. And this was money that we sent in because we have an unoccupied property
so we have to pay our $20.00. Now, you know, granted I’m sure they’re not holding millions down there, but
how much monies sitting in this office that they haven’t opened yet? It’s that crazy. And that’s what the lady
told us when we called about where are check was, why it hadn’t been cashed. They haven’t opened mail
since February 25th and it just got cashed today. So, if somebody could look into that. How much money do
we have sitting down there? Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mr. Porter. And somebody will look into that. Our next speaker is
Ida Webb. Miss Webb. Good evening. Welcome as always to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your
name and your residential address please.
IDA WEBB: Ida Webb. 947 Sherrick Road SE. I’m here today to complain about my lot again. I heard
someone say they would mow it. I paid $125.00 to have the limbs off of the trees cut down. Not only the
grass needs to be mowed but the dead wood and limbs need to be cleared away. It looks very bad for my
lawn. It’s just an eyesore and I hope you’ll take care of it as soon as you can. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Miss Webb very much. That concludes our Public Speaks. We
appreciate all our speakers coming in this evening and hopefully we’ll have answers to your inquiries.

MEMBER SMITH: Seconded.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It has been moved and seconded that you reconsider Ordinance #73/2014 adopted
on April 14, 2014. Are there any remarks?
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director Martuccio.
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Thank you Mr. President. Members of Council the reason you are being
asked to reconsidered this Ordinance and amend it is the same reason. And that is, last week this Council
authorized an Ordinance allowing for the hiring eventually, subject to Civil Service and union considerations of 2
positions, Fair Housing Investigator and Education/Intake Specialist. As you, as you recall, we discussed how in
Personnel Committee and other Committees these positions would only exist as long as the grant existed that
funds them. These positions were only to exist as long as the money was there and we all agreed on that except
that last week when the Ordinance was passed we noticed that we hadn’t put it in writing. So this is our attempt
to put a footnote on the Exhibit to that Ordinance that now clearly states with an asterisks near each of those two
positions that the funding for these positions will be provided by the 2013 Fair Housing Agency Partnership
Grant. These positions be retained only as long as the grant funding is available. So when the grant funding is
no longer available, the positions will be unfilled and remain so per this Ordinance.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member....
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: That is what you are being asked to do. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Mack did you have any questions on that?
MEMBER MACK: That was a very scholarly explanation by our Law Director and I thank him for that.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Mack. Anybody else like to comment on the scholarly
presentation of our Law Director? Member Hart.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -283-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 21, 2014
MEMBER HART: We will not be responsible for any unemployment?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director.
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Thank you Mr. President, Member Hart. Member Hawk had asked this as
well and I spoke with our experienced Human Resources attorney in our office who has dealt with these issues
and the answer is, probably not have to pay unemployment. The reason we’re saying probably is, it’s knowing
up front particularly now this is about to be in writing that these positions are limited in their duration. These are
temporary positions. The people who apply for these positions and get them know that coming in. So if they are
only in existence for the two years they’re supposed to be, it’s highly unlikely they will be awarded
unemployment compensation, highly unlikely. However, if they are extended by another year or two that might
change the equation a bit but again, our position would be going into those hearings in two years or three years
that unemployment is not to be awarded when the person coming into it knew in advance in writing per official
Ordinance that they were only to be temporary. Long answer to a short question.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Hart.
MEMBER HART: Does that really say that. I mean, well the Ordinance really didn’t say that as amended. I, you
know, I just want to make sure that there’s no question and ...(inaudible) ...they know when funding runs out it
will be there and ...(inaudible).
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Safety Director Perry did you want to say something?
SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President to the Councilman. When you fill out the paperwork for Bureau
of Workers Comp it asks you, was the, has the assignment ended? And if the answer to the question is yes, so it
would end because the grant money, it’s a temporary position. So therefore, that would make them ineligible for
unemployment. If they were to let’s say be awarded unemployment the city still has the ability to appeal. And
what that means is, Kris Bates has sat in on many of our appeal hearings. She’d be our attorney that would sit in
there and she would state in the hearing that this individual would be ineligible for benefits because it was a grant
funded, if you may say, position and those funds are no longer available.
MEMBER WEST: Mr. Chairman.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes, Member West.
MEMBER WEST: There’s a couple things that have confused me. One, it’s a temporary position but yet we’re
putting it through Civil Service. I’d said a little bit about this before. And it going through Civil Service, they
could also then bid to the next job which then would eliminate that correct?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Law Director.
LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President, Member West. My understanding is Civil Service was
involved in terms of designing an application process which involved interviews, primarily interviews. I believe
the unions have declined to make these union positions because they are limited in duration so that eliminates the
issue of bidding.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Any other questions?

MEMBER HAWK: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Hawk.
MEMBER HAWK: Thank you. I think as a point of clarity, as we all know when people are hired by the city
they sign a lot of documents and a lot of agreements and we get them all in line and all fixed up and ready to go
as they are ready to work for us. I feel it might be appropriate to have at the time of, we hire them, the statement,
a simple statement saying it is a temporary job and would run out at a certain time and keep that in the file with
it. I think that would strengthen attorney Bates’ position when it comes time the non-claim of compensation
claim. I think that’d be beneficial to us. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Hawk. Any other remarks?
MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. Morris.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader.
MEMBER MORRIS: Yes, you know, the plant that I manage out in Massillon we hire temps all the time and
once these folks make it to 26 weeks, they know they’re just temps but isn’t it kinda like, downright un-
American to say thank you for 2 years of service and oh, by the way, you can’t draw unemployment cause we
don’t need ya anymore. I mean, I think this conversation’s kind of rude.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Leader. Any other remarks? You’re on a motion for reconsideration so
by voice vote, all those in favor to reconsider, say aye. Oh, sorry this is a roll call vote.

especially our Safety Director, Andrea Perry for help on a long going problem we’ve had with some damage that
was done to a property during a demolition and this has been going on since, since January and finally this week I
think we’re bringing that to a conclusion. And it’s really, it’s been a lot of phone calls back and forth working
with different departments but Director Perry and Director Williams, I wanted to thank you guys a lot because
it’s been a, an ongoing issue and you guys really went above and beyond so thank you.

MEMBER WEST: I wanted to address Mr. Killins statement in reference to the 4 houses that were on 9th Street.
Those houses, one of them have already been awarded and the other three are on the demolition list to be targeted
to be torn down. So, they are aggressively going after the houses that you had passed around so I just wanted to
make certain that you knew that. Thank you. And also I wanted to also congratulate Miss Woods and thank

house. He requested that Law Director Martuccio provide him inform ation so that he could continue to pursue a case in court
for the city dem olishing his hom e. Tim Porter asked that som eone check into the procedures at the Code Departm ent. He sent
in a check back on March 7 th that was just cashed on April 21 st and when he called in to see why the check was not cashed he
was told that they had not opened m ail since February 25 th. There m ay be som e funds sitting there that could help the city. Ida
W ebb is still concerned about the eyesore lot that is beside her hom e. She really hopes that som eone will com e out and take
