OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Deputy Mayor Williams tells me that there is no Old Business, so we have no Old Business to discuss. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Public Speaks, we do have 3 speakers scheduled this evening. Our first is Marla Larsen-Williams. Ms. Larsen-Williams, if you’ll step forward and give us your name please, and your residential address. And for the Members of Council and the members of the audience, this concerns the potential relocation of the Canton, Ohio Northeast Waterworks Station Post Office, and you all have the fact sheet in front of you. For members of the audience, if you didn’t already receive this, or you want to receive it, it’ll be in the back there. Ma’am, welcome and happy holidays to you. MARLA LARSEN-WILLIAMS: Thank you very much. Happy holidays. My name is Marla Jane Larsen- Williams, I represent the United States Postal Service. My office address is 62 Stratford Drive in Bloomingdale, Illinois. First of all, I’d like to start off to inform everyone we are not closing the post office, okay. What’s going on is we all know the postal service is in financial difficulties like everyone else. So, we’re using our facilities, our bricks and mortar, what can we do to streamline our process and save money. Canton, Ohio is where those...that we looked at. As a result, we’ve moved our carriers from this location to our facility on Cleveland. As a result, the building that we’re in now, Waterworks, is 10,000 square feet. We need about a 1,000 square feet to meet the needs of the public. And what I mean by the mee...the public’s needs, is your PO Box mail and where you get the services. So, with that said, that building, we actually do own. So the plan would be, put the property on the market as soon as we have a buyer, if the buyer would be entertaining a purchase with the sale lease-back, we would be able to stay in the building. If they were not interested in something like that, then I would be looking in the community to try to find something as close as possible to where we are now, that would have about 1,000 square feet and parking. Now, understand, when I’m looking for space, I’m looking also for safe...I’m looking at safety. The ingress and egress. How does traffic flow? We don’t want people making turns that’s going to put other people at risk. So, the timing on this, to be honest with you, all depends on when we have a buyer. I’ve seen these deals take months, I’ve seen COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -764- MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 24, 2014 them take years. But the one thing I can assure you is, we’re not going to leave an empty building. It’s kind of occupied right now with what little bit of operation we have. And also, Council, I talked to our maintenance people, we’re working on getting those potholes fixed, okay, in the parking lot. So, I apologize for that, but as soon as I saw that this morning I made some calls, so we’re trying to get those things fixed. But the purpose again is to let everybody know that we’re not closing. The handout that was given, it’s our legal process that we have to file, and the City, I’m sure, is very familiar with other processes you have to file. If anyone wants to submit comments to what I’ve said, my address is in here. They can submit their comments within the next 15 days, once those are received, then I’ll take a look at them and we’ll make a decision if we’re going to move forward. If we move forward, there will a 30 day appeal process. That gives the community and the Council a chance to state your case so that we can review it and make a decision on how to move forward. So, as far as...again...it’s timing and it all depends on what kind of interest we have in the building, and I did meet briefly this afternoon with Deputy Mayor Williams, who is very, very helpful. So, I look forward to working with the Council and the City, and if anyone has any questions, if this is appropriate, I’ll be more than happy to address that. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Sure, are there any questions from our Members of Council? I would like to say one thing. Perhaps you can verify this for the audience and the Members of Council. The post office is not a taxpayer-supported agency, is that right? MARLA LARSEN-WILLIAMS: That is correct, we work solely on the sale of our services. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And just for those of...the reason you’re facing such financial difficulty, to my understanding, which is pretty remarkable. The post office is required to pay by 2016, $103,700,000,000.00 into a health plan for the health benefits of future retirees. In addition, that does not include the present health plan for the employees of the postal service today. So, there is no other government agency and there is no other private corporation in America which is forced to incur this burden. And that’s one of the reasons, as I understand it, that the postal service is having much difficulty. MARLA LARSEN-WILLIAMS: That is absolutely correct. And thank you, you’re the first that’s ever said that. Thank you... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well, you’re welcome... MARLA LARSEN-WILLIAMS: I appreciate you knowing that. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And by the way, we appreciate your public service. We love the post office. You people do great work, and it was founded by Benjamin Franklin, so it couldn’t be that bad. Again ma’am, and again happy holidays. MARLA LARSEN-WILLIAMS: Happy holidays everyone. (Laughter). (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Our next speaker is Randy Dublikar. Mr. Dublikar, welcome to Canton City Council, as always. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address please. RANDY DUBLIKAR: My name is Randy Dublikar. 8591 Cauley Ave. NW, North Canton. I came here today to inform Council about a positive, recent development in the Purchasing Department and for the City. As many of you know, I worked for the City of Columbus for a number of years before coming back home COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -765- MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 24, 2014 here to Canton. When I was down in Columbus, I and many of my colleagues were members of an organization down there. The Central Ohio Organization of Public Purchasers, which is a chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, or the NIGP. It’s a national organization that seeks to promote public purchasing profession through the development of values, principles, and standards of practice for the profession. In addition, NIGP puts on all sorts of training and education courses around the country for its members. So, NIGP exists not only for the individual members who are members of the Organization, but also for the governmental entities that we work for. So, a little bit of a history lesson, here. Just before I came back to Canton, a group up in the Cleveland area, a group comprised of governmental republic preparement folks, were members of the Central Ohio Organization of Public Purchasers and so they started a branch up in the Cleveland area, so it was a Northern Ohio branch of the Central Ohio Organization. So shortly after I came up here, I became heavily involved in the Northern Ohio Branch. John Highman, my Assistant Director of Purchasing, did the same. We both got involved in the Organization and we started with the rest of the group, thinking that we could become our own chapter of the NIGP, of the national group. And so we began to explore that possibility. So about a year ago, John and myself, and the rest of the group...John actually helped write the bylaws for the Organization, so fast forward to last week...and John and myself, along with Director Bartos, our distinguished guest of the day, went up to the Cleveland area to participate in the Chaptering Ceremony of the newly formed Public Purchasers Association of Northern Ohio or PPANO. And so, John and I, along with the City of Canton by association, are founding members of that Organization now. The Organization is comprised of about 70 individuals from almost 30 public sector entities throughout Northern Ohio. And through the Organization, we have a network of resources set up now for the exchange of idea, to explore possibly cooperative purchasing opportunities with the rest of the Organization. The group is comprised of the some of the largest governmental entities in Northern Ohio. The City of Cleveland, City of Akron, Cuyahoga County, Summit County, Cleveland Metro Parks, Cuyahoga County Library and so, we think there’s a great benefit to the City of Canton for us being part of that Organization. So, in closing, I’d just like to thank Council and the Administration for their continued support of the Purchasing Department and of the Organization so that we can provide great customer service to our departments and to the residents of the City of Canton. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Good job. Thank you Mr. Dublikar, as always. Thanks for your public service. Our last speaker is Pete DiGiacomo. Mr. DiGiacomo, good evening, as always, welcome. If you’ll give us though, your name and your residential address, please, for our record. PETE DIGIACOMO: My name is Pete DiGiacomo. I live at 600 Dent Place SW, Canton, Ohio. I’d like to start off with thanking Councilman Mariol for that inspiring invocation. And according to the invocation, I’m not going to be around here much longer cause of (Inaudible). What I want to talk about is Fawcett Stadium. First of all, I’m old school and I’m not going to apologize for that for a damn bit. Changing the name, and it’s already a done deal, but I’m just gonna give my 2 cents or 5 cents worth. Changing the name from Fawcett Stadium, which has been a landmark in the City of Canton. I’ve been here for 70 years and it’s been here before that. For a billionaire, you’re gonna kick in a measly $11,000,000.00. To him it’s measly. So, did he get the naming rights? Maybe not, but he’s giving $10,000,000.00 for that, which is pocket change, since...according to the Repository, $1.8 billion dollars. I just don’t...it rubs me the wrong way...it happens to much. Not only in this city, but other cities. Money talks and the rest of it...does that. I just don’t...it doesn’t sit right. I’m probably the only one in here, because I’ve already talked to a few other people and they just looked at me. Ten million dollars, ten million dollars...I’m like yeah, it’s not going to help you. But I just don’t like the fact that now it’s no longer Fawcett Stadium, which is...that’s just what it’s been. Next thing it’ll be...maybe somebody wants to build a new high school...let’s take McKinley down, let put up, you know, COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -766- MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 24, 2014 whatever. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thanks you Mr. DiGiacomo, very much. Thank you. That concludes our Public Speaks. Ma’am you don’t have to stay, obviously. Safe trip back. Thank you very much.
