PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We are now under Public Speaks. We have five people... five speakers signed up this evening, and first up we have Mr. Roger Zachary. ROGER ZACHARY: President of Council, Council Members, Mayor, Staff and all businesses. My names is Roger Zachary. I live at 2621 Wood Owl Street N.E., Canton, Ohio 44704. And I got a few things that I’d like to talk about tonight. One of them, I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. First of all I’d like to talk about the sewer rate. Uh, sewer increase. You know, I’m talking about myself. Personally I’m retired, fixed income, and I’m tired of prices going up. Every time I turn around we are raising this and we’re raising this, raising that. We just floated a five million bond for... uh, uh, for the Hall of Fame, two million dollars for Onesto Hotel. Didn’t we know that we need sewer? Why do... why don’t we float some money for these sewer bills, and all these other bills that you guys are throwing on the backs of us taxpayers, us property owners. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Also I’d like to talk about the gateway to my community which is East Tusc from Cherry Avenue to Riverside Drive my wife has to ride shotgun for pot... potholes. You know, as far as I’m concerned Turscarawas Street East is a main route in the City of Canton and it gets no respect from this city at all. I have not seen one shovel of asphalt out there. And I’m sick and tired of running potholes. I’m not asking you to fix the potholes on my street, but the main corridor should be fixed. We talked about East Tusc being streetscaped. I been coming up here for 15 years, and you can’t tell me anything because I watch everything you do. We... uh, in the year 2000 we talked about East Tusc being streetscaped. You guys have did nothing. You know, it’s the main... it’s the gateway to my community. It might not mean nothing to you, and as far as the councilmen, I’m gonna throw this out here. I feel that every councilman should have a plan, should be no different than the Mayor. You should have to come before the people and tell us what you have done. At the end of the year you should have a plan to tell us what you are working on and what you’ve done. I... as far... in 15 years that I’ve been up here, Dave Dougherty, he’s got a plan. This man got a plan every year. He’s working on something every year. Hart over there, he had a plan on recycling. Rest of you guys, what are you getting paid for? I talked to a guy about East... uh, one of you councilman at large about East Tusc last week. He told me to contact my council... contact my congressman. He told me to contact my congressman. What the hell are you getting paid for? You need to contact my coun... uh, uh, you need to contact my congressman about money to get out here and fix these damn streets. Everyone of you should be down in front of Kasich’s office, everyone of you, this whole circle here. You need to go down there. If Kasich’s got the money, you need to go down there and find out why. You should be down there marching the same way (unintelligible). Thank you. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -139- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 16, 2015 PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Zachary. (Applause) Next up we have Mr. Bruce Nordman. BRUCE NORDMAN: Thank you. I’m Bruce Nordman. I reside at 1623 Logan Avenue N.W. Uh, first I’d like to make a public service announcement. Tomorrow, St. Patrick’s Day, at twelve noon Officer Judy Solly who is the liaison officer for the police department to all of the neighborhood associations and beyond is being cited for being the outstanding uniformed officer of 2014. It’s being held tomorrow at twelve noon at St. John’s Basilica, Catholic church, on McKinley and 6th Street N.W. It would be nice if everybody in this room can find the time at twelve noon to come down to honor her. Now, on to what I’m here to speak about tonight. First of all, I’m not a paid spokesman for Steve Coon or the Onesto. I’m here as a concerned citizen, and I appraise the administration and the council for their wisdom and foresight in granting him his two million dollar loan and for the tax abatement so that property can be improved beyond that. I spoke to this about... uh, last week. But let me just talk about some of the things that he’s done. He’s restored 35 buildings in this city, all of which are fully occupied. On February the 24th he held a dinner meeting, whether you had dinner or whether you didn’t, for the Akron... Greater Akron Preservation Society, that normally gets about 15 people to their meeting. They had 104 show up. As to date, and I just talked to Steve on Saturday, in the Onesto there are only two single lofts that have not been leased, and through the end of the year there is only one Saturday available. I think this is terrific, and he’s most certainly a very ardent supporter of this city. Of the 50... of the... of the people, the 10 people that started with him 32 years ago, he still has all of them working for him. That talks about stability and loyalty, and this is the kind of man that he is. And also, the City of Akron would love to have an Onesto of this nature up in their city, and they’re very jealous of the fact that we have used the foresight to get it going. Uh, and then finally, just to tell you what kind of a guy he is, every time he speaks to business associates, groups in Akron or Cleveland, he emphasizes that they stay at the McKinley Grand in downtown Canton Center as opposed to the new hotels on the outside of Canton. We’ve got a great citizen who gives very much of himself as I’ve spoke to this issue before, and those of you who have dealt with him know what kind of integrity and enthusiasm he has for the City of Canton. Let’s keep up the support. We’ve got a great asset in this man who has done and will continue to do so much for the City of Canton. Thank you so much for your interest, and I hope to see you tomorrow for Officer Solly’s recognition, twelve noon, St. John’s Basilica on McKinley and 6th Avenue N.W. , twelve noon. Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Nordman. (Applause) Next speaker tonight is Mr. Robert Knight. Good evening, Mr. Knight. ROBERT KNIGHT: Good evening. My name is Robert Knight, 928 Richard Place N.W., Canton, Ohio. I’m gonna try to make it through this without crying. January the 14th, 2015, 6:55 A.M., I suffered property damage in the amount of $1322.00. This loss was the result of a city sanitation truck striking a wire near my home. I informed the sanitation supervisor that arrived that I had suffered a power loss. He did not report it to AEP. He also did not call the police. I was without power so I could not call the police. Since a report was not taken valuable evidence was lost at the scene and the ability for the driver... driver to be found at fault or not. It also did not allow me to demonstrate losses I suffered to the police or show any evidence on my behalf. I called the sanitation department later that day. Uh, they basically wouldn’t spoke... speak with me, referred me to the law department. The law department didn’t disclose they had insurance on their vehicles to me. I was only referred to file a claim. I filed that claim, #2015-1 provided them video evidence, written witness testimony of the occurrence, take a number for AEP to come out and fix my wire, video of the wire being fixed by American Electric Power and AT&T. Okay. I was without the use of my bed for four weeks. It’s a hospital style bed used for my therapy. Now, earlier tonight we stood here, faced that flag, said these words, with liberty and justice for all. Seven weeks later the law department made their final decision on this matter. I also provided COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -140- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 16, 2015 them some pictures of the low hanging wire and my power line. Since my time’s limited tonight, we’ll discuss the outcome of that along with some other issues, and thank you for taking the time to listen to me, the entire body here. Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Knight. (Applause) Our next speaker tonight is Mr. Henry Preston. HENRY PRESTON: Good evening. My name is Henry Preston. I live at 326 31st Street N.W., Canton. Earlier this evening I was in attendance to your business meeting, and I want to commend all you council members who took an active part in that conversation about the phone system. Uh, the phone system is very important to the city, there’s a lot of options, and I think before anything is passed, I think there should be some more study on it. So that’s what I had to say on that. Addressing the mis... or, Councilman Smuckler, I don’t want you to paint the whole city with the same paint brush. Uh, everybody knows we got potholes. As an active citizen doing my part I think I should report potholes, and I called one in today around lunchtime and somebody answered it within three rings, very professional, they took my name and number and that was it. So I would suggest to Mr. Smuckler, give them a call, call in a pothole once a... once a day and next week give us a report on how many times they answer the phone. Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Preston. Next up is Mr. Dan Fonte. And sir, before you speak, according to Council Rule #15 under public speaks, you’re only allowed to speak once for a three minute period once a week, and you signed up twice. So, I know that you had two topics that you wanted to discuss and unfortunately you’re gonna have to compress those both into a minute and a half each. DAN FONTE: Well thank you very much, appreciate it. I didn’t know that. I though I’d do it twice so I get six minutes instead of three. (Laughter) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: That’s alright, I didn’t know it either. DAN FONTE: I’m always trying to get the edge. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: I like it. DAN FONTE: Not on you though. Uh, members of council, members of the administration, I’m here to speak about a few things. First of all I want to speak about the sewer increase. As I read in the paper today we’ve had four years of 9 ½% increases, and we’re gonna consider... the city’s gonna consider another 3%. Whether they do it or not I don’t know, but that’s a 38% increase, and if you do the 3%, that’s a 41% increase. Now, I also am a board member of the Ohio Alliance of Retired Americans so I’m actually here representing seniors and retirees. Everyone of us are on a fixed income, so all these increases keep coming and coming and coming. School increases, uh... there’s water increases. We just put a surcharge on our bill for the water meters. I understand that’s a 20 year surcharge, so when the 20 years are up the batteries will probably be out so we’ll have to redo it again. So, but what I’m saying is think about the seniors. Okay? I’m sure you... you have your mother, your father, and if they’re per chance passed away, you’ve got aunts, uncles, sisters, you’ve always got somebody that’s a senior and a retiree. You might want to try to think about this increase, build it around the social security increase. I retired 11 years ago. I haven’t gotten an increase in my pension at all, but I knew that going in. Okay? No surprise. I didn’t get too blocked, but the point of it is 11 years ago look at what we were paying for a gallon of gas, look what it is today. When I go to the gas station I don’t, wait a minute, wait a COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -141- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 16, 2015 minute, I’m a senior. I don’t get a... you know, I pay the same as a working person and I understand that. But the point of it is, I don’t know the answer, but we got this problem all over this country. You got the State that’s taking all the money from the cities that they used to get. We all know that, we read it. Now the city’s flushed with money. You know, we’re hearing all the jobs are back. You know what, I could have been the governor and them jobs would have come back. He didn’t make those jobs. Those jobs are gonna come. You could have put a monkey in there and they would have got them back. So the point of it is, is I sit and look at everything and our problems. I think you guys and gals need to look at this thing in the bigger spectrum because we can’t afford to live in our homes no more. The biggest asset we’ve worked for all of our lives, we can’t afford it. So, you gotta come up with something, you know. They raised the state sales tax quarter percent. Does that help us? No, we all pay more. Now they’re talking about another half percent. When’s it gonna stop? I heard on the radio today the county, they can’t fund their departments. We’re all in the same boat. Don’t matter where we’re at, we gotta do something. You know, somebody asked me about seniors. Well, you know, I says, you know what, let me... let me ask you a question. I don’t know where we’re gonna get the money. And how much are we spending over in the middle east to bomb everyday? A million? Two million? Don’t stop bombing. Maybe stop bombing for a week, and then put that money back into infrastructure or something. Okay? Don’t stop. Keep bombing the hell out of them if you want to, but do it for a week... a day a week. Just say, you know what, a day a week we ain’t gonna do anything. Boom. So, as I sit and look at that I’m thinking there’s things you can do. I’m not a genius and I don’t know the answer, but those are some things I think about. Now I want to compliment the people that are installing the water meters. I had an appointment and they had to work around my travels. I know I’m gonna be over, but I think it’s important that they get thanked. They... uh, the appointment was set, they give me a window, they call before they come to make sure everything was okay. They were very courteous, respectful, took care of it, and they had to go outside and mount that receiver where... where snow was way up like that. They done a heck of a job and I think you should compliment those people. Potholes, let me tell you something. The roads in... the road in Baghdad can’t be as bad as they are here. It is terrible. Now I don’t know the answer to that neither, but we gotta sit and think about this because Canton, Ohio isn’t the only city that’s got pothole problems. I can’t believe that somebody doesn’t come up with something that’s better than what we got. That’s better than what we got, you know. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Alright. Well... DAN FONTE: There’s gotta be people out there. (Applause) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you very much, and... DAN FONTE: Thank you. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Appreciate it. (Inaudible voices in the background) No, no. We appreciate... we appreciate that. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay. We are now under Ordinances and Informal Resolutions... oops, excuse me, back up here. I’m actually kinda hungry and I’m in a hurry to get out of here. (Laughs) Okay. We’re under Informal Resolutions. We have none scheduled. COMMUNICATIONS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We now under Communications.

MEMBER GRIFFIN: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Griffin. MEMBER GRIFFIN: Okay. I’d like to thank the gentleman for announcing about the... the blue mass we’re having tomorrow, St. Patrick’s Day, at the Basilica of St. John’s. The mass is at 12:10, and Chief... Fire Chief Rich is gonna be recognized also, and this is for all the safety forces. I... I’m sorry, I can’t tell you the deputy sheriff’s name, but there’s gonna be a deputy sheriff and, of course, Judy and Chief Rich. You might ask why are we doing it on St. Patrick’s Day. Well, when the Irish came over by the boat loads they needed... the east coast needed policeman and fireman, so if a fellow came off the boat looked good and strong, you’re a policeman, you’re a fireman, you’re a policeman, you’re a fireman. And unfortunately those that came off sick and ill and that, they unfortunately went to the mosquito infested swamps to work, the canals, the railroads, and unfortunately to their death. They just worked them like animals. So, that’s why we’re having... there’s one other thing I wanted to add. Oh, yeah, about the paddy wagon. (Inaudible) you might know about the paddy wagon. Some people... uh, there’s two different versions on the paddy wagon. One is that Paddy was driving COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -156- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 16, 2015 the wagon and then of course you’re smiling on the second one, it’s cause Paddy was in the wagon. And so, okay. But tomorrow aft... tomorrow at 12:10 will be at St. John’s. The Knights of Columbus for Canton Council 341, the third oldest council in the State of Ohio, is presenting that. Thank you. MEMBER FISHER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Fisher. MEMBER FISHER: Member Griffin forgot to mention when they got off the boats, the ones that looked crazy then ran for office. (Laughter) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Well. Hey, I can’t say anything, man. My family tree and my ancestors went into organized crime, so I mean, I can’t... MEMBER HAWK: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: Now that we have some wonderful students from Central Catholic High School that should be recognized, and they got a wonderful history lesson here tonight so be sure to report it back to Monsignor out there. Thanks. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Director Bartos. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I think all the council members saw the E-mail from Superintendent Rorar, but we’re taking a little different approach to the... uh, the street patching, and we’re doing it similar to the snow and ice control where we’re hitting the mains, then the secondaries, and then the residential streets. Last week... you’ll all be getting a weekly report of what... what streets were hit. I think we did 378 almost tons of materials, so our... our folks definitely are out there patching. I know there’s a lot of... a lot of potholes out there, but we definitely are out there working. We’re hopeful in the next couple weeks with the weather breaking the hot... the hot mix will be produced by the suppliers, and we’ll be changing now that the... uh, the weather has broken we’ll be changing over to... everybody will be working on the daytime shift as opposed to... as opposed to the split shifts, so that’ll allow us to get even more patching done.
