PRESIDENT SHULMAN: Motion carries. Rule 22A is suspended and the Ordinances are a legal part of your Agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now under Public Hearings. We have no public hearings this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning to Old Business, the Mayor’s... the Deputy Mayor Fonda Williams has indicated we have no Old Business this evening. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We do have three public speakers, and we’ll move to Public Speaks. Our first is Tim Porter. Mr. Porter, good evening. As always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and you residential address, please. TIM PORTER: Thank you. My name’s Tim Porter, 1107 10th Street NW. Just a couple thank you’s. I kinda bombarded the Clerk this last couple weeks with some requests for information. She’s been very helpful with me, as well as Director Bartos, and the Purchasing Department helped me out with some other stuff that I needed from his office. I just wanted to publicly thank them because they’ve been really helpful with me. And then just two suggestions. Um, something that could help us as citizens is if the E-mail addresses for the different departments were posted on the website, then we wouldn’t have to bombard our Clerk with them. That would make us... easier for us to get the information we need. And then the information I got from Director Bartos, I think if that’s public information, if we could make that available on line to view? Cause I’m pretty sure I got several of the trees back that we cut down off of Fulton with what he gave me. I mean, it was that much paperwork and that’s something that I think I could have viewed at home if we have a way to make that available. And that’s all I have. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, Mr. Porter. Good suggestion too, thanks. We’ll obviously take your suggestion under advisement. Our next speaker is Henry Preston. Mr. Preston is always... good evening... welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. HENRY PRESTON: Good evening. My name is Henry Preston. I live at 326 31st Street NW, Canton. This evening I’m going to start by reading again from... in part from the Canton City Administrative Code, Title 5, Chapter 137 as it pertains to the City Engineer. There shall be a civil engineer who shall be appointed by the Mayor. The Engineer and Engineering Department shall be under the joint responsibility of the Mayor and Council. Duties of the City Engineer, he shall superintend all public works and improvements and see that the same are property made. 137.03, the City Engineer shall report annually to Council on the 4th Monday in March. This report shall give a detailed statement of all city improvements for the current year on the 3rd Monday of March under his direction or supervision. Such report shall show the cost of such improvements and the amount paid by the City and the amount of assessed upon the butting property, together a detailed statement of all business of this office and expenses of his department and such other matters in the ways of suggestions or recommendations as future improvements as he or they may deem proper. Last Monday was the 4th Monday in March. This Monday is the 5th Monday in March. Last Monday, from what I was able to observe, the City Engineer did not provide an annual report to the Council. This Council spends many hours working on ways to obtain funds and improve expenditures for street maintenance. Earlier this month I reported several potholes COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -197- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 had developed in one block of 32nd Street NW within seven months after resurfacing. The pothole that I called in last summer that... and was repaired, and has lasted longer that the resurfacing on 32nd Street between Market and Logan Ave. Newly resurfaced streets in Canton very often fail. Reasonable expectations in many Council Members... How... how many Council Members here are paying attention? I can tell some of you are and I applaud you for that. Ensuring the taxpayers are getting quality street resurfacing and maintenance is going to prove to be a formidable task for all of you because so many safeguards within the street maintenance processes have been removed. Not having the Engineer’s report made readily available to all of you imperish your planning ability to formulate future resurfacing and street maintenance. For example, it is difficult to see where the City is just simply burning money on projects such as 31st Street NW. Director Bartos’s weekly updates on potholes, as the one he read at last week’s meeting, does not take the place of the Engineer’s report. However, if Council had the Engineer’s report along with Director Bartos’s weekly pothole updates, Council Members could quickly correlate and identify many areas where street resurfacing and maintenance needs... processes need changed. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, Mr. Preston. (Applause) Appreciate it. Our last speaker is Pete DiGiacomo. Mr. DiGiacomo is always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. PETE DIGIACOMO: My name is Pete DiGiacomo. I live at 600 Dent Place SW, Canton, Ohio. Uh, two things I wanted to talk... one I wanted to... I think I know the answer, but I don’t... I’m not sure. Uh, tonight you were talking about doing a redo of West Tusc, turn into a corridor thing. And I see the amount is just... that’s just the opening of the can of worms so to speak. That’s not a nice way to say it, but it is. Um, why are they putting in all new traffic lights, and what I mean by that, I don’t, you know, and I’m not an engineer, I don’t know the grants, the... what the laws are. Where I live down on the southwest end, 9th and McKinley, Navarre and McKinley, and I know there’s other places where the old lights, standards, where the lights go up are being replaced with new ones which adds to cost to everything. Uh, if you go up on 12th and Walnut, and anybody drives by the empty lots, that used to be where I lived, my house is gone, as a kid. Anyhow, in that lot there are all types of new lamp fixtures. Again, more money, you know, it costs the City. And then maybe get back to the corridor for West Tusc. They’re talking right now of spending X amount of dollars. There’s a pothole every year on West Tusc right across from the Sunoco Station, for the on ramp to 77 just before you get there, west... eastbound side, very big, very large. Just a matter of weeks ago they put an orange barrel out there that it got so bad. They refilled it. It... guess what? It came back again. If they can’t afford to maintain a street, just a pothole, I can see a whole other, you know, now we’re gonna redo the entire street all the way out to Whipple. And like I say, it’s just the beginning, and I know you like to do things to modernize everything, which is good for the City, but if you don’t get it done right the first time or the second time you’re just gonna be wasting more money and more money. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. (Applause) Thanks to all are speakers tonight. We appreciate it. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now move to Informal Resolutions.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now turn to Announcements of Committees Meetings. MEMBER HAWK: Mr. President. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -207- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Chairman Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you, good sir. The Finance Committee will meet Monday, April 6th at 6:30 P.M., and I believe that’s the only committees for next week. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: (While flipping through papers) There’s just one more, isn’t there? Community & Economic Development? CLERK TIMBERLAKE: No. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And you were correct, Chairman Hawk. (Someone sneezes) So 6:30. Bless you. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Miscellaneous Business. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: Just real quick. Tonight I learned something really interesting. I learned that the cold mix that we were getting from Central Allied is the only game in town. I also learned that we can’t get the better quality cold mix from... from anywhere. I guess the closest place is an hour away. My question is why can’t we partner, or maybe this is to the Service Director, if we can get with other municipalities around the Stark County area and tell Central Allied what we want, and then possibly get what we want so that we’re not dealing with crap. From what I understand the stuff we’re filling potholes with is crap. And if that’s the case we should be finding out what we need and then demanding what it is that we want for our streets so that we don’t have to deal with these potholes to that extent. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director, would you like to handle that? SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Sure. The cold patch is always a temporary fix. As you can see, Superintendent Rorar and Mr. Dieffenbaugher, as a member of our Street Department, shaking their head. It’s a temporary fix as everyone knows, and the hot mix which is much more, I guess, the permanent fix is not available right now. We were hoping it would be available on April 1st. It’s not gonna be available locally until April 15th. I do like the point that you made about pulling our resources together though, and I think Superintendent Rorar and I can sit down with some other local street departments and see if their experiences are similar. Now, keep in mind that the cold patch... cold patch is cold patch, but at the same time if they’re having similar struggles that we’re having, maybe we can sit down with Central and see if there’s some sort of demand for... for a different sort of solution while we wait for the hot mix. While we’re on this subject, I’ve met with Superintendent Rorar and the members... uh, Mr. Dieffenbaugher and also Keith Parsons, he’s President of the Union 2937. I’ve talked to several individuals about this. If you recall last year, we brought in North Star to help us with some patching, and we would like... I wanted to run this by Council now since it will ultimately be an ordinance that will have to be passed by Council in the form of an emergency provision and a moral ob, but where we’re at right now is there’s a location in Marshallville which is about 35 minutes there, 35 minutes back, and they are making hot mix right now. And so what we would like to do is we would like to contract with North Star again. Have them supply us with one to two crews, three trucks, so we can keep the trucks moving at all times, running to Marshallville, bringing the hot patch in. Not only will that give us hot COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -208- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 patch, that’ll also give us additional manpower that we sorely need to help us keep up with the potholes problems. So, if there’s no immediate objection to that, we’d like to move forward with that. We’re looking at between a hundred and a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for two to three weeks of that work. That would be two crews, three trucks, five days a week, eight hours a day. The Union has been very gracious to work with us. They’ve asked for a little extra overtime which quite frankly we need, you know, all hands on deck every hour of the day, so offering them a little extra overtime, we would probably be offering them that anyway. So, that’s the current status of where we’re at the Street Department. If I don’t hear any objections, we would like to move forward with that. I’ll bring the emergency report and necessary legislation down next week. MEMBER WEST: Just one more quick question... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes, Member West. MEMBER WEST: ...to follow up with that. And when there’s a bunch of potholes like all centered around, will they cut the whole square out and repave that whole area, or just fill in each pothole and then, number two, I think there’s a discrepancy when we talk about quality. I think Preston said it best. We got to look for a quality product. I don’t care if it’s cold patch. I’m sure there’s a better quality than what we’re getting. And I’d really like to see us push for that best quality for the winter times or... so it’s not just two or three days that it’s, you know, temporary. It’s like three or four months hopefully. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Dougherty. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Can you explain why you can drive 35 minutes one way and get hot patch but you can’t get it here. So why... why can’t we get it here, and why is it now till April 15th, and why can’t we get it in March? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Yes. To Mr. Schulman’s... or, excuse me, to Member Dougherty, because our local plants actually aren’t making it. I believe North Star’s plant isn’t even built up yet right now, and Central Allied’s currently not making the hot... the hot mix. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Why? SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I... I can’t answer. I mean, that’s just their business decision, but I... MEMBER DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Dougherty. MEMBER DOUGHERTY: I’ll tell you why. Cause you’re filling... you’re going to buy their stuff, their cold patch, three times to fill a hole, and you got to go back and get the hot mix to fill it a fourth time. (Applause) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -209- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I... I can’t force them to make something. MEMBER WEST: I mean, my... my thought is we can, and I think that’s what it’s about... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: Sorry. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: That’s okay. MEMBER WEST: That was my point. My point was why can’t we get with other municipalities and say this is what we want? I mean it seems like we have this every year right after wintertime, April 15th, and we got pothole season. And we all get beat up for it, and everybody beats each other up for it, and my thought is why don’t we just get with other municipalities and say, Central Allied, you’re our guy, this is what we need. And I think we can do that. We’re... we spend five hundred thousand dollars on this mix, I believe. (Inaudible voice in the background) So, I’m just... sorry, four? Four or five? Well, four or five, regardless and I’m sure these other municipalities spend just as much. But electively we should be able to sit down with our company and say this is what we need, can you produce it. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: And I agree that it’s probably time to go to that strength in numbers approach because, I mean, Mike, how many times have you called Central and asked them if they’re gonna be making hot... when they’re gonna be making hot mix. SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR (from the audience): Every week. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Every week, yeah. So I agree with you that it may be time to take that, you know, union approach for lack of a better term, come together with, you know, municipalities around here and see if we can go to Central, you know, multiple municipalities are supplied by Central, and ask if we can, you know, work with them to get the hot mix sooner. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director Bartos, just so the record’s clear. Is North Star providing us with the cold mix? SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Mr. Schulman, they’re gonna be making runs to... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: No, no. I mean are they providing us with the cold mix now or in the last two months, North Star? SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I believe most of our purchases are exclusively from Central. Mike... Mike, you want to come down just to answer that. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mr. Rorar. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Mr. Rorar deals with this on a minute by minute basis. I just get hourly updates from him it seems, so... COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -210- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Uh, the only cold mix we’re getting is from Central right now. No other asphalt plant’s making cold mix, and what the North Star will make is hot mix starting April 15th, but not until then. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Alright. Thank you, Director. Any other questions for Director Rorar? MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President, if I may? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader Morris. MEMBER MORRIS: So, what’s with the 35 minute travel to Marshallville? Is that to get hot mix? Okay. So, we can get the hot mix in Marshallville now or on the 15th? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Now. MEMBER MORRIS: Okay. So here’s my problem with this then. If we can get the hot mix in Marshallville now from North Star, then why do we continuously play this game with Central Allied? Okay. We’re paying twice as much for the cold mix from Central Allied, but we can buy the hot mix at half the price, and North Star has the product available now. Supply and demand. North Star comes through for us early, the rest of the summer you tell Central Allied to pound salt. (Applause) SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Mr. President, I think... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director Bartos. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I think that’s what the purpose of this is, correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Rorar, we found a plant that makes the hot mix, that’s why we’re going with North Star and going to get the hot mix. SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Yeah, North Star themselves is not making hot mix yet, but they’re willing to help us out and go get the hot mix and bring it into... back in the city for us. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And they have to have the vehicles? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: That’s right. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: You want to explain that to members of council. SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Uh, yeah, you gotta have the trucks set up ready to haul asphalt. I mean, you know, we’re not an asphalt hauling company, but they are. So they have the equipment to bring it back in. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Alright. SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: And Member Schulman, too... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -211- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: To Mr. Rorar’s credit, he is currently outfitting out least one of our vehicles to haul asphalt. So this time next year we will be in the asphalt hauling business. If this happens again, we’ll be able to go out... uh, out of the city to get the hot mix ourselves. Correct? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: That’s right. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And Director Rorar, just the record is clear. I heard what Member Dougherty said, and he may be right about what company, but I want to make sure we’re not impugning another company. North Star has not provided us at all in the last three months with any cold patch. SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Nobody has except for Central. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Alright. Central is the only one. Alright, thank you. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member West. MEMBER WEST: While we got him up here, the cold patch that we’re concurrently getting, is there a better cold patch? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Not available. MEMBER WEST: Anywhere is there a better cold patch? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Not that I’m aware of. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And by the way, before you leave I know that Mr. Dieffenbaugher came up and I was very impressed. How many in your... how many crew members do you have working almost seven days a week all day long? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Thirty-six. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thirty-six. And the road is from... if you took the roads in Stark... in Canton it would go from Canton to North Carolina. Is that right? SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: I don’t know that, but I do know it’s over 900 lane miles. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. Well, we congratulate you on what you are doing. I know you... I know you and the members of the department are doing everything you can. We do appreciate that, believe me. SUPERINTENDENT MIKE RORAR: Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Alright. (Applause) Okay. Mayor Healy, did you have anything to say? COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -212- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 MAYOR HEALY: Thank you, Mr. President. And I just wanted to share with the Council and the audience. I’m really excited about this. Several years ago, about five or six years ago, the City of Canton hosted Football USA. We had the world games for the 19 and underage bracket, and we had 8 countries here playing. They were housed at Walsh, sorta like a little village, and they actually played at Fawcett Stadium, and it was a great tournament and of course USA won, but we... we’ve know about this for a little while and they just made it public that we are going to be hosting the world games again this summer, and it’s gonna be for the age 20 and over bracket. So just to give you an update, the teams that will be participating is Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and the United States. And that’s gonna be in July, July 9th through 18th is the tournament, so if you haven’t had a chance to experience that the last time they were here, it is a great, great tournament. It’s wonderful to see the international mix in this thing, and it really is like an Olympic atmosphere, you know, on a smaller scale but around football. And I think this is one of those type of tournaments that we will be able to see coming to Canton more and more frequently when we get this Hall of Fame Village Project moving, so this is another reason why we want to do this type of thing. So, I’m excited about it, and I went to just about every game last time, and it is great fun and I got to meet a lot of wonderful people, so I just want to share with everybody. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And approximately how many people will be visiting Canton and Stark County? MAYOR HEALY: Um, six. I have no idea. (Laughter) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well, how many... how many other teams? MAYOR HEALY: Yeah, they’ll be... they’ll be 8 teams and each team comes with, you know, 80 players and the coaches... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: That’s great. MAYOR HEALY: ...and the supporters and the family members and what have you. So it’s a really nice event for us. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great. Congratulations, Mayor. (Applause) Any other miscellaneous business? Member Hart. MEMBER HART: In terms of potholes (inaudible). I keep waiting for it to be fixed and it, you know, it’s... both lanes needs to be done. Also I guess following up on what Member West had said, you know, we’re dealing with county and all the other municipalities when it comes to hot patch. I think that we need to look at producing our own. (Inaudible) you know, we can save that. We can make our own hot patch, and again spreading the liability around to all the communities, it’s gonna be... the patching can be done right the first time. The gas company is replacing lines along 25th Street NW. University did a beautiful job using hot patch. They put the adhesive down all around the bottom, along the sides, (inaudible) lasting for a long, long time. And also in front of the Civil Center, I took the granddaughter to the Shrine Circus, and the front along the sidewalk must have enough gravel there to fill all the potholes. It looks... yeah, I mean it looks terrible. I mean, and you know, it’s a shame that we’ve got thousands of people in the street, they’re, you know, walking up the ramp on gravel on the sidewalk. The stuff looks terrible. So would somebody please, whoever is responsible there get that cleaned up. Thank you. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -213- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 30, 2015 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member Hart. Any other miscellaneous business? Leader.
