We’re under Public Hearings and we have none scheduled for this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We’re now under Old Business and according to Deputy Mayor, Fonda Williams, we don’t have any, correct? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Correct. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Alright. We’re now under Public Speaks. This evening we have 5 speakers signed up. First, Mr. William Trbovich. Walk up to the podium, sir. Please give us your name and your address please, for the record. WILLIAM TRBOVICH: William Trbovich. 1205 Wynnridge Avenue NE, North Canton, Ohio, 44720. I’m Bill Trbovich, that’s Tim Trbovich. That’s the good, I’m the bad. (Laughter). He’s older, I’m younger. (Laughter). My name is Bill Trbovich. I am a retired employee from the Canton City Schools. I retired after 34 years as Principal at Mason High School. I am here to represent the four main support groups for Timken High School. We have the Timken Adult Booster Club, the Timken Alumni Association, the Trojan Pride Organization, run by Ron Blackledge, and the 1960's DoWop Organization. I speak on behalf of all of these. There are a total of 22,000 alums in our database; 5750 are Canton City School District voters. I know that there’s not much you can do about what has happened, but I want you to be aware. We are calling upon you as City leaders to investigate the why’s, what’s and how’s of the monumental plan to close Timken High School. In my opinion, based on the ongoing comments from the community, it will have an adverse affect on the Canton community. You should take it upon yourself as elected officials of our city, to talk to the Board of Education members and your constituents regarding this. This will not unite the city, it will divide the city. The Timken Alumni...oh, look, I have a lot to talk about and I know I couldn’t get it in three minutes, so I chopped it up. The process by which the Superintendent’s proposal was written and presented to the public, are totally unacceptable to our groups. As an elementary principal, my primary objective was to provide a safe environment for students and staff. One that was secure and promoted the best achievement and success for all students, no matter what that success was in. Whether it was extracurricular activities or academics. This Administration and the one before it will not even schedule a basketball game, double-header, with McKinley High School and Timken High School teams playing. That would save revenue. They will not do that. You know why? The reason being, it is too risky. We don’t want any trouble, we don’t want anyone hurt, the students just don’t get along, it will create an unsafe environment, it will give us a bad name. But, it is evidently fine to allow this volatile environment in a the school setting. An environment that should be conducive to optimum learning and achievement will not take place. Recently, one of the Timken and McKinley teams were to meet in the Canton Civic Center at a State Tournament game, there was great concern about the security. So, additional security was put into place. The game was even set back by half an COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -42- MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 2015 hour to allow for fans to enter the game through a security line. All of this for a basketball game? What security will be necessary when the two school communities are forced, and I used the word forced... PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: ...Okay, sir... WILLIAM TRBOVICH: ...to function together. I fear that it will not be... PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: ...Okay, sir... WILLIAM TRBOVICH: ...a safe environment. And people will be moving out of the City. 500 people moved out when Lincoln and Lehman closed. Thank you very much. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you... WILLIAM TRBOVICH: I apologize for going over. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: That’s quite okay. (Applause). Next up, Mr. James Parker. JAMES PARKER: Good evening. Thank you for inviting me to the podium, this evening. My name is James Parker. 630 Penny St. SE. I have two notes of importance this evening. The more serious one...tomorrow it does mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where Dr. Mengele earned his nickname, Dr. Death. Another genocide known as the Holodrum or Holodomor, Ukrainian for “death by hunger”, came at the hands of Joseph Stalin and his bright future plan of socialism. In fact, Mikhail Gorbachev writes about his parents and family dying from the holodomor in his biography. Estimates vary, average from six to ten million dead, by scholars. Now, flash forward to current events by Putin’s succession of Ukraine and couple that with Timken’s plan, supplying them with AP-2 tapered bearings for roll cars for Russia, Canton Repository article, March 18th and 24th. While no one doubts the Timken Company’s dedication to Canton or the positive goals to the Timken Foundation, there is concern, especially among those of Ukrainian descent and at the State Department, of Timken’s plans to partner with European Bearings and (Inaudible) in Leningrad to make AP-2 tapered bearings for freight cars to modern the Russian railroad. Timken enters into new venture in Russia. A recent PBS Frontline report on Putin’s Russia outlines the corruption of both Putin and the approximately 110 (Inaudible) that control over 35% of Russia’s wealth. My view, shared by many, is that these railcars will be utilized by Putin’s war machine to carry in tanks and troups to the Balkans, while conveying out food in the centers. He already overtook Sebastopol, he controls the Black Sea region, he’s making his corridor in one by one. This is Russian (Inaudible). If it would please Council President Schulman, or Frank...Frank Morris, Majority Leader, would you table a motion for an Informal Resolution asking the Timken Company to withdraw these deals as the deception of the evil empire unfolds? Or you can supply Putin with another one million freight cars by 2013...by 2030, excuse me. Also, tomorrow, also...we covered that...I had a concern about the Kresge Lot. Two million dollars anticipated municipal bonds sale to fund something that has no written plan, that’s merely a concept? Try to take that down to...ask Mr. Gill if any bank would okay that, just some loose concepts. They have nothing in writing, nothing shared with the public, and it sounds like putting the cart before the horse. I was taught plan your work and work your plan. So, a lot for a footprint. Perhaps you can consider installment of the (Inaudible). Partner with Arts in Stark. This is a Texas size partnership and it just seems as though things are being rushed to make sure that the Brewery gets what he wants or whatever is going on there. All kinds of wink and nod. Why not celebrate the re-integration of the league there. This is Black History month. In addition, the plan COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -43- MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 2015 calls for marriage of the CZB Plan of the Renkert Building, cohesive with the green space. The Renkert management and owners haven’t even been contacted. I’ve got a plan as well and I expect to be treated as equal in business stature as the next person, and it includes the Renkert Property and honors Black History. I have plans in writing and they don’t. Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you. (Applause). Okay, next up, Robert Knight. Mr. Knight. ROBERT KNIGHT: Good evening. My name’s Robert Knight and 928 Richard Place NW, Canton, Ohio. Good evening members of Council. I’m retired, on fixed income, diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy, very painful. On the 14th of January, a sanitation truck hit a overhead line, interrupting my power service, burnt things up in the house, including my hospital style bed. I filed a claim with the City and my request would be that maybe the Law Department, in handling claims, could expedite things in cases where there’s pain and suffering going, in a more timely fashion than they’re doing with mine, and that’s all I have to say. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Alright. Thank you Mr. Knight. If you’d like to stick around after the meeting, you have the top dog of the Law Department sitting right here, I’ll chain him to his chair for you. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: I already spoke with him. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Oh, see, he already gotcha. Alright, next up, Daniel...I think that’s Conn? DANIEL COMO: Como. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay, sorry sir. DANIEL COMO: (Inaudible). My name is Daniel Como. I live at 3804 10th St. SW. That’s 44710. We have disbursed a packet for your viewing pleasure. I represent the leadership of the Raff Road Community Organization. We are made up of volunteers who live from Raff Road to Whipple, and 13th Street SW to West Tusc. Our agenda is to dispute the approval of a liquor license for a new drive thru on Raff Road. Our organization has proposed a petition to the business’ sale of alcohol, lotto, and tobacco. We brought a packet that outlines our message and proof of our petition efforts with nearly 250 signatures objecting to the potential business practice. Councilman Jim Griffin has gone over the procedure to objecting to this permit for a new business. To our knowledge, the owner has yet to file a liquor license for his establishment. Our goal is to be proactive about this situation for our neighborhood and make our intentions known. We wish to welcome this new business, but a welcome with limitations and a request of responsibility. We as a group have decided to bring this issue to the attention of you, the City Council, and ultimately, our Ohio Liquor Board. We believe in protecting our children. This business will be potentially selling alcohol, lotto, and tobacco products less than 100 feet away from Garaux Park property. That is where there is a basketball court, a playground in park that kids use regularly, throughout the year for different things, cheerleading, football, baseball, so on. We have a reason of concern about this particular business. There are Repository articles about the owner’s previous properties. The properties had been brought to our attention and they may demonstrate an alleged or potential record of negligence and unethical behavior from the owner’s current residing businesses and it’s employees. We choose to allow the articles to speak for themselves, they are public. Our goal is to limit situations that have the potential to become a disruption for our neighborhood. We value small business in our neighborhood. Examples include the relationship we have with Central Allied Enterprise and the Reed COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -44- MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 2015 Funeral Home, so on, so forth. We understand the importance of the revenue and employment opportunity that they create and the value it brings for our neighborhood. We invite all opportunities. It’s come to our attention that Garaux Park is on a list of contenders for a potential skate park. This is an opportunity for our neighborhood. We do not want to lose these opportunities based on uncontrollable factors that could be prevented, but we ask that these opportunities are carried out in a responsible and reasonable fashion that respects our neighborhood. As I conclude today, I ask that you put yourself in our shoes. If a drive thru were built on your backyard, how do you handle it? Would you allow the situation to go unnoticed? Would you move out of the City of Canton? Or, would you take action? Ladies and gentleman, we decided to respectfully take action. We ask for your support in discussion, to help us set an example for the neighborhood and the children of the community. Please consider supporting our efforts. Thank you for your time and consideration. (Applause). PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you Mr. Como. (Laughter). He was good. (Laughter). (Inaudible). Okay, next up, Eric Resnick. Beat that on the clock, Eric. (Laughter). (Applause). ERIC RESNICK: You’ve got to be kidding! (Laughter). Eric Resnick. 1828 Grace Avenue NE. Mr. President, Mayor, Members of Council. You know, when I was on the school board, I was the last one to disagree with the State Constitution, with regard to separation of the governance of the school district belonging to the School Board, and the governance of the City, belonging to the...to you all. But there are a couple of issues where that governance crosses, and I’d like to talk this evening about school safety, within the context of the proposed high school consolidation. You heard from my friend, Pam Lagodich, last week, and from my friend, Bill Trbovich, a few moments ago. I’d like to talk about how the proposal impacts your neighborhoods, because that is something that you do need to care about. The proposal, all of the proposed savings come from the cutting of teachers and administrators. Larger class sizes, larger groups of kids under supervision. We also know that in this community, because we have two high schools and school choice, that our gangs have been very good about segregating themselves in the two schools. And, that’s a good thing, and it’s something that has made our schools relatively safe, compared to other urban high schools. Well, this plan that’s out there not only trades 8 teachers and 3 principals, plus some support personnel for 11 more security officers in the schools. In other words, it is a flat out trade of teachers for cops, which wipes out the proposed savings that you all have been hearing about. But you have to think about this a little bit deeper because you don’t want your city to have the reputation of trading teachers for cops. It looks bad and looks bad to people who are looking to move into this city. Mr. Trbovich is correct in that we no longer have all-city sports events because it’s too hard to put these 2 schools together, because of the gang issue that you’re all aware of. Now, our kids do not walk through metal detectors when they go into those high schools today. And you don’t want to be part of a community where they do, because that sends the wrong signal and that sends an un-welcoming signal to people who come into Canton. You do not want your city to be known as having unsafe high schools. And to that extent, you need to be very interested in this plan, and you need to take interest, and frankly, you need to say no. Thank you. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you Mr. Resnick. Okay, we are under. ...yeah, put that mic down. CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you Member Mack. We are now under Information Resolutions COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -45- MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 2015 and we do have one this evening. Madame Clerk, will you please read Resolution #2. 2. COUNCIL AS A WHOLE: COMMENDING TIM TRBOVICH ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM CANTON JOINT RECREATION DISTRICT. - ADOPTED PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay, the rec...Leader. MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President, I move we adopt Informal Resolution #2. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay, the Chair will recognize a motion to adopt...oh, okay...(Inaudible). Yep, I know, I skipped right over that, didn’t I? There’s a motion to adopt Resolution #2. Are there any remarks? If not, all those in favor say aye? Those opposed no. The ayes have it. Resolution has been adopted. RESOLUTION #2 PASSED UNANIMOUSLY BY VOICE VOTE PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: The ayes have it. The Motions carries. Resolution #2 is adopted. MEMBER GRIFFIN: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Griffin. MEMBER GRIFFIN: May be have the Resolution read? PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Yes you may. CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Whereas, Canton Joint Recreation district staff member, Tim Trbovich, after thirty-four years of devoted service, has announced his retirement; and Whereas, The members of Canton City Council wish to join in celebrating Tim’s continued prosperity, good health, and freedom to spend time with family and friends, as he enters this milestone in life; and Whereas, Tim’s contributions to the Canton Joint Recreation District include developing Canton’s public sports programs, from Softball to Shuffleboard; creating facilities in numerous Canton parks, one of the most outstanding being Willig Field on 30th Street Northeast, where national softball tournaments have been held; and most recently directing the city’s public recreation operation; and Whereas, Tim was not only instrumental in building sports facilities, he was also quite adapt at building meaningful relationships with athletic governing bodies, coaches, program participants and Canton Joint Recreation staff members. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: that we, the Members of the Council of the City of Canton, Ohio, do hereby recognize, give special tribute to and commend Tim Trbovich for his years of leadership, management skills, and vision. We thank you for sharing your talents to the benefit of the entire Canton community. (Applause). PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Mr. Trbovich, if you could come up, please. (Inaudible). MEMBER GRIFFIN: First, I’d like to thank Eric Resnick for composing the Resolution and for Cindy and her staff for preparing it. You know, for 34 years, Tim had a tough job. I mean, everything that went bad, it was COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -46- MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 2015 Trbovich’s fault. (Laughter). If we had a rainstorm at 3, 4 in the afternoon and the fields were wiped out, that damn Trbovich; if we had a drought for 3 or 4 weeks, and the fields were dust bowls, it was Tim’s fault. Now here’s a classic. (Laughter). We had a raise in the umpire’s fees, alright, and they had to raise the rates of the leagues. It wasn’t the umpires that got yelled at...that damn Trbovich. (Laughter). But he handled it real well. Okay, so anyway, Tim worked real hard. Tim (Inaudible). I just want to say this. Normally I would say good luck with the honoree and that, now I’m going to say Marcia, he’s going to be around more, good luck! (Laughter). (Applause). TIM TRBOVICH: Thank you very much. (Applause). JIM GRIFFIN: If you’re out at Willig next summer, it will be named Tim Trbovich Field. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Alright! (Applause).

He doesn’t brag about that a lot, doesn’t want to be showy. (Laughter). I also wanted to congratulate Lee Cote for his Patriots winning. He probably feels as though he deserves a Super Bowl ring for having cheered for them! (Laughter). MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member West. MEMBER WEST: Just this past weekend, I don’t know if you’re all aware, but, people started moving into the Onesto Hotel and it was a really good sight to see, people moving in downtown.
