Before we begin I think we have some student tonight from Jackson High School. Is that right? Welcome. Thank you very much for being here. (Applause) Can everybody hear me in the back? Pastor, can you hear me in the back? Okay. With a quorum being present, the Chair does call this meeting of Canton City Council to order. Roll call vote, please, Madame Clerk. ROLL CALL TAKEN BY CLERK TIMBERLAKE: 12 COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: (FRANK MORRIS, CHRIS SMITH, JAMES BABCOCK, RICHARD HART, WILLIAM SMUCKLER, GREG HAWK, THOMAS WEST, JAMES GRIFFIN, KEVIN FISHER, DAVID DOUGHERTY, JOHN MARIOL & EDMOND MACK) TWELVE COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT.

Will you all stand and remain standing please for the Pledge of Allegiance. The regular meeting of Canton City Council was held on April 27, 2015 at 7:30 P.M. in the Canton City Council Chamber. The roll call was taken (see above) by Clerk of Council, Cynthia Timberlake. The invocation was given by Thomas West, Ward 2 Council Member. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Schulman.

PRESIDENT SHULMAN: Thank you Madame Clerk, the motion carries, Rule 22A is suspended and the Ordinance is a legal part of your Agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We turn now to Public Hearings. We have one Public Hearing this evening. It is scheduled for 7:30 and it’s AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CANTON TO ANNEX THE TERRITORY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -268- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 KNOWN AS THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY ANNEXATION AREA CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 184.45 ACRES, ASSIGNING SAID TERRITORY TO WARD 4 OF THE CITY, ZONING SAID TERRITORY AS I-2 (HEAVY INDUSTRIAL). The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the same. Is there anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against this ordinance, will you please step forward. And I have to say again, is there anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against this ordinance this evening? No one stepped forward. The Chair declares the public hearing over in regard to the matter and the matter now rests in the hands of Council. The Ordinance will follow later this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turn to Old Business. Deputy Mayor Williams has said he has no old business to discuss. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now are under Public Speaks. We have, excuse me, six speakers tonight. Our first is Henry Preston. Mr. Preston, as always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address for our record, please. HENRY PRESTON: My name is Henry Preston. I live at 326 31st St. NW, Canton. Tonight I’m here to address the issue that we had back in January of ‘13 where Canton lost their emergency communications. And I have asked a couple months ago if our Safety Director would keep us abreast of what is going on in the City of Canton and what we’re doing to prevent that, so since I haven’t heard anything I thought I would provide a solution. Okay, well this is something new. Um, for... Google is coming out with a phone in conjunction with Nexus 6 and T-Mobile and Sprint, and what they have, they’ve collaborated and what they have now is a phone that will jump from the AT&... I mean T-Mobile and Sprint network, and it searches out the strongest signal. And then also you have voice on Wi-Fi. So in the Stark County area this is available today. And so I wanted to bring that to the City’s attention. Uh, the pricing on the service is very affordable, $30.00 a month. That’s unlimited text and data... I mean unlimited text and voice. The data’s one gigabyte. Uh, that’s $10.00 a month, but that... that $30.00 includes one gigabyte, so I think that’s something that’s very doable, and if it catches on with the other carriers I think that’s a win-win situation. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great. Thank you, Mr. Preston, very much. (Applause) Our next speaker is Tom Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll step forward, sir, and give us your name and your residential address, please. TOM SCHMIDT: Tom Schmidt, 1338 5th St. NW. I’d like to talk tonight about the proposed skate park at the Lincoln Railroad Station on... on Tusc. I’m not in favor of this proposal for a number of reasons. First of all, the Park Department which maintains this facility has not done a very good job maintaining it, so I wonder what would happen if the skate park did go into effect. Over the years I’ve called... I’ve called the police on vandals, I’ve chased vandals away, I’ve painted over graffiti, I’ve cleaned the park up myself. In fact I just cleaned it up Sunday prior... or Saturday prior to the Canton Marathon because the marathon runners were gonna be running past the railroad station, the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad Station. In addition, we already have a skate park which is vastly under utilized four blocks away which was purpose built, and I’m not sure why we’d need another skate park. Um, local businesses are opposed to this. I spoke with Mike McAndrew, the President of the Hart Company which has been a long time company in Canton. Mike and his ownership group are opposed to this park. They are concerned about people using their parking lots during off hours, about vandalis... vandals and... and graffiti. Personally, I’ve had some negative experience in with skate boarders. I’ve had them actually skate COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -269- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 boarding on my property during the summers. I’ve had to chase them away. I’ve had them park in my driveway. I’ve had graffiti on my property, and I’m not very happy with that. Um, and the last thing is in our... in our area and we are in Ward 1, we spend a lot of time keeping our neighborhood clean. We have... our neighbors go out and clean up trash and clean up any of the debris, and try to keep this area nice, and I just think that the skate park would be a detriment to our neighborhood. So, thank you very much for your attention. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mr. Schmidt, before you sit down, have you gone to the Park Department to also reflect your concerns? TOM SCHMIDT: I have spoken with the Park Department, yes. I plan on having a meeting with Derek Gordon. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay, good. Because the Park Department as I understand it is the entity that’s in charge of that, but we appreciate you coming down. Thank you very much, sir. TOM SCHMIDT: Thank you, sir. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Our next speaker is Byron Dillon... Dillion. Good evening, sir. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please, for our record. BYRON DILLION(through interpreter, Jack Hawk): Byron Dillion, 1220 18th St. NW, Canton, Ohio 44703. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. BYRON DILLION (through interpreter, Jack Hawk): Last Friday night a... his photo eyes went on on the porch, he looked out and he saw a bunch of kids out there playing, about 14 years or under in his yard, and he opened up and he saw something, and all these eggs were all over his porch. He called the police, they came out, they wrote things down. He says can you go and tell them. He says no, you have to go down to the Stark County Building, 5th Floor. His wife is very nervous, has high sugar and she doesn’t want to move. They’ve done 27 years there, they’ve owned that house, they’ve improved that house, it’s probably the best house on the block. Windows, his wife sits there sewing there and she’s got this sort of... sees these kids playing around. They come right up to the window. Uh, he doesn’t understand and she’s nervous. They’re 14 year olds unstructured cause the parents go and work at night. And he doesn’t know... he doesn’t want to be chased out of the neighborhood. He cleans up the snow, but they come back and they... they throw snow on his sidewalk and they throw snowballs at him, so he just doesn’t know what to do, so... He says you need to go tell your mother and they said no, forget you. Okay. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, sir, very much. Thank you. (Applause) Our next speaker is Leroy Lynch. Mr. Lynch is always welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. LEROY LYNCH (through interpreter Jack Hawk): My name is Leroy Lynch. I live at 3911 Highview Ave. SW. He comes here for a reason because last Friday on miles... there was like garbage being dumped, and they didn’t think garbage people doing things correctly, they were just sorta throwing garbage cans back. He says he really believes that they should not run off and they should not leave their work. He says I want to see the complaints during about the blacktop. Why not... why don’t you use the garbage people who ha... get their work done and help them so they don’t have to work overtime to pay them after hours. He says maybe you’ll save money from that cause they always seem to leave the City dirty and they leave the cans all over the place. They COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -270- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 don’t seem to do the right job. So he says I’d like to see them keep the clean up. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, Mr. Lynch. (Applause) Our next speaker is Sherri McKinney-Frantz. Good evening. As always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name though and your residential address, please. SHERRI MCKINNEY-FRANTZ: Good evening. Sherri McKinney-Frantz. I live at 310 19th St. NW in Canton 44709. And I’m here to talk tonight about Issue 18 which I hope that all of you are aware is a county wide issue. It is not a new tax. It is a tax renewal. It is to support the work that Children’s Services does. If you’re not aware Children’s Services is a safety net in our community. We investigate concerns of child abuse and neglect, last year 2,778 cases. Um, and we... our goal is to keep children in their home and provide support when needed, and we also when that’s not possible we have children in foster care, we provide support for that and we also do adoptions. Um, you might not realize that Children’s Services does not get any local dollars. We do not have a line item in the general fund. Uh, 40% of our funds come from this levy and it is absolutely critical that it pass. Um, so again, it’s a renewal, it’s not a new tax, and it’s instrumental to the work that we do, and would appreciate your support and endorsement. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, ma’am. Appreciate it. (Applause) Our last speaker is Jack Hawk. Mr. Hawk, good evening. Welcome. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. JACK HAWK: My name is... good morning... uh, good aft... good evening. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: (Laughs) JACK HAWK: Gee, it’s a long day. Uh, my name is Jack Hawk. I live at 217 16th St. NW, Canton, Ohio. And again I think that what we have is a deaf individual who doesn’t understand the process, and I was talking with the Mayor and with the Safety Director, and basically they’re saying that if we would talk to them we would get some results. And the Safety Director has basically put a call into the Chief and we’ll see... and basically said that they’re gonna look into this matter. Why they’re directing him to the county fifth floor I have no idea. This is police officers. I think it’s a little concerning that, you know, this is a man and his family who, if you take a look at where he lives, he’s the only house that’s very well up kept, and he feels like he’s being forced out of the neighborhood because he’s deaf. And it’s almost like a spite thing. And they’re young kids, and he does not think it’s right. He’s been there 27 years and I really hope that we can get to the bottom. His biggest concern is that the police officer would come and he would talk to him, and he says can’t you go talk to these other people. He says no. Yet he sees them go to the other people’s houses and talk to them, and he says why am I being excluded. I don’t understand. Is it because I’m deaf? So, maybe he just doesn’t understand. Thank you for your time. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Mr. Hawk, very much. (Applause) Want to thank all our public speakers this evening. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now turn to Informal Resolutions. We have two tonight. Madame Clerk, will you please begin with Informal Resolution 20. #20. COUNCIL-AS-A-WHOLE: OPPOSING PROVISIONS IN HOUSE BUDGET BILL AMENDMENT COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -271- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 THAT WOULD INHIBIT ABILITY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO ENTER INTO PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS (PLA) - ADOPTED PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader Morris. MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President, I move we adopt Informal Resolution #20. MEMBER SMITH: Second. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded that you adopt Informal Resolution 20. Any remarks? Okay, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Those opposed no. NO REMARKS RESOLUTION #20 PASSED UNANIMOUSLY BY VOICE VOTE PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: The ayes have it. The Motion carries. Ordinance... or Resolution 21, please. #21. COUNCIL MEMBERS: WARD 5, KEVIN FISHER, WARD 9, FRANK MORRIS: URGING GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO REJECT PROPOSED SEVERANCE TAX PROVISION OF STATE BUDGET IN CURRENT FORM. - ADOPTED PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader Morris. MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President, I move we adopt Informal Resolution #21. MEMBER SMITH: Second. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded that you adopt Resolution 21. Any remarks? Member Fisher. MEMBER FISHER: Thank you, Mr. President. I’m losing my voice, so it’s your lucky night, I’ll be brief. This... this... uh, the way that this is structured, it’s not necessarily opposed to the idea of a severance tax or an increase in severance tax on oil and gas industry, but the way the Governor has structured this proposal is just another in a long line of what we’ve seen in recent years with funding cuts to local governments. Because of the way this is structured, 80 to 90% of this would... uh, the revenue that’s generated would return to the State. Where it’s designed to alleviate impact on local infrastructure, and yet local governments will receive 10%, at the absolute most 20% of the revenue, which is completely backwards. You know, in my opinion we’re feeling the impact of this at the local level. We should receive the 80% if not all of it. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member Fisher. Any other remarks? Hearing none, all those in favor of Informal Resolution 21, signify by saying aye. Those opposed no. NO REMARKS RESOLUTION #21 PASSED UNANIMOUSLY BY VOICE VOTE PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: The ayes have it. Informal Resolution 21 has been adopted. COMMUNICATIONS COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -272- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Now turning to Communications.

MEMBER HAWK: Thank you, good sir. The Finance Committee will meet Monday, May the 11th at 6:40 P.M. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Chairman West. MEMBER WEST: Public Safety & Thoroughfares will meet same time, same place. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Any other announcements? MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -277- MINUTES OF THE MEETING APRIL 27, 2015 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Miscellaneous Business. Is there any? Law Director, Martuccio. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Thank you, Mr. President. To Mr. Hawk and our two gentleman visitors, thank you for coming and sharing your concerns. I believe the remark about the juveniles was meant to say that it’s Family Court who meets in the Stark County Office Building that handles offenses of children 17 and under. Although I suspect that some people here resent being called children at the age of 17. Family Court has two or three tracks, a formal prosecution track and tracks that informally handle vandalism and mischief. They can better be able to explain it than I can, but that may have been what the reference was about. The police of course can talk with the parents of the children to make sure they’re obeying curfew laws. Mr. Hawk, thank you very much for the service you perform. We appreciate it. And Council and city officials, I think you’re having an excellent dialogue about paving and asphalt and so on. And... and you and the city officials are doing it here with lots of folks in attendance, and I think it’s a fabulous educational process. Thank you for doing that. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Law Director. Any other remarks under Miscellaneous Business? MEMBER WEST: Mr... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader? Oh, I’m sorry, Member West. MEMBER WEST: Mr. President, I’d urge all Council Members and the community to support Issue 18. Children’s Network is awesome. An awesome program for our children. And Sherri is a wonderful social worker and is a great advocate in our community, and we need to keep that going, so... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member West. Any other remarks? Leader. MEMBER MORRIS: Motion to adjourn. MEMBER SMITH: Second. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: It’s been moved and seconded that we adjourn. Madame Clerk, roll call vote please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Twelve yeas, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Madame Clerk. (Gavel falls). Meeting is adjourned.
