Any remarks? Hearing none, Madame Clerk, roll call vote please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 10 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK TIMBERLAKE: Ten yeas, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Madame Clerk. The motion carries, Rule 22A is suspending and those Ordinances are a legal part of your agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: NOTHING STATED UNDER PUBLIC HEARINGS. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re under Old Business and Deputy Mayor, Fonda Williams, has indicated there is none. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Speaks. We do have 3 speakers lined up to speak tonight. Our first is John Laughlin. Mr. Laughlin, as always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address, please. JOHN LAUGHLIN: Good evening. I’m John Laughlin and I reside at 1743 Market Avenue North, in Canton here. Once again, I’m appreciative of Council giving me the opportunity to address them. Tonight I’m asking for Council, the Mayor, and all of the city department heads there, to come support Canton Neighborhoods, this week. I sent an open invitation through the Clerk of Council, who I appreciate taking the time to send it around, but I thought that coming to ask in person might carry a little more weight behind it tonight. This Wednesday, July 15th, between the hours of 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Vassar Park Neighborhood Association will be hosting Canton’s very first Neighborhood Slumlord Picket, in front of Attorney Burick’s office at 1428 Market Avenue North. We’re hoping to have good attendance that day and also picket simultaneously in front of 117 17th St. Northeast, Mr. Burns and Ms. Clowers house. Attorney Burick operates pay and stay rentals, and Mr. Burns and Ms. Clowers, operate RBLW Properties in the city. Between them, they own and operate hundreds of properties in the city. We decided it’s time to take a very...take a stand very publicly, not only here, but anywhere else in Canton that neighbors may put out the call for help resolving issues. I also want to add that we consider this just a starting point with these three individuals. We would love nothing more than to see them become good neighbors and good landlords in this city. I thank you for all your consideration tonight. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mr. Laughlin, very much. (Applause). Our next speaker is Pete DiGiacomo. Mr. DiGiacomo, as always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll again, step forward and 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. Wasn’t going to speak tonight until it was brought up about the one-way street. 6th Street, going from Market to Walnut Avenue, at the cost of $11,000.00. $11,000.00 for this city in itself, isn’t that big of a deal, but if you start putting a bunch of $10,000.00 and $11,000.00 together, yes it does come up to something. I didn’t hear why it’s going to cost $11,000.00 to take a street and put up a few different signs. Like a stop sign, where you should COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -411- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 13, 2015 stop. It’s just...it just seems like an over amount of money. Sure, the Street Department has stop signs already to put up so that people know to stop, sign saying it now a two-way street instead of a one-way street, and if you need a light post to put up, with all the brand new ones you’re putting up, taking down the old ones, you should have some of those also laying around. I just...it’s a waste of money. This is just one project but if you take care of them, you can save money overall. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mr. DiGiacomo, as always. Our last speaker, I hope I’m pronouncing it...Tyreia Grimes. Is that right? Did I miss that? Ms. Grimes, I’m sorry, I just could read your first name, I apologize. Did I have it right at all? TYREIA GRIMES: Yes, sir. You did. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Oh good, thank you. If you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address, please. TYREIA GRIMES: I was not prepared for this. My name is Tyreia Grimes. I currently reside at 231 6th St. NE. That’s the YWCA. I am not prepared for this at all. For one, I am an ex-felon, returning citizen, and I’ve been working for 8 years. I just found myself with no job, no nothing. As being a returning citizen, I have found myself with no help within this city. There is plenty of organizations that say they can help felons, and I’ve been out of prison 10 years and I have not gotten any help. I have not gotten low income housing. The job that I got, somebody gave me a chance and after the job was sold out, I have been without any financial means within the last 3 months. That’s why I am currently living at the YWCA. No car, no anything, and I’m just reaching out for help. Not just for me, but plenty other felons in this city, and women with children. That’s all. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, ma’am. We appreciate it. (Applause). Ms. Grimes, Ms. Grimes...the Deputy Mayor has indicated that after the meeting, or... CLERK TIMBERLAKE: ...He’s on it...(Laughter). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: ...The Safety Director has indicated to me that she would be happy to talk to you. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now move to Informal Resolutions.

PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Fisher. MEMBER FISHER: Thank you. After we’ve spent quite some time working on this, a rough draft has been completed by Engineering, for possible truck routes, which would designate certain roads in the city that can handle the weight of commercial traffic, with the goal, of course, being keeping those trucks off of secondary roads and residential roads. Some of you, we’ve talked about this, going back to the winter. A single truck can sometimes have an impact on the same stretch of road as 10,000 or more cars, just from one trip of a truck. There is a map with rough draft, early routes selected by Engineering, that is in the back Council Office. Particularly Ward Members, if anybody would be interested in taking a look at this map, and letting me know if there are any concerns, omissions, questions you would have in your Wards, please let me know. We’re continuing to work with Engineering and the Administration to have something put together that we can then form into legislation. If you would, however, keep it in the Council Office for now. I’m going to be meeting with the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, and we’re going to look at any companies throughout the city that could be affected by this and make sure we give them an opportunity to suggest anything that concerns them with it, before we bring something down. So, I will come back to collect it on Wednesday to go down to the Chamber with it, but I will bring it back. It is back there now if anyone would like to take a look at it, and like I said, you can email me with any concerns, or call me, and we’ll work with Engineering on that. One final thing I’ll say on that is, Engineering has really done just a fantastic job of coming up with this. Been working with Ed Moore and Nick Loukas and Dan Moeglin on this for several months now, along with Director Bartos and the Administration. A lot of work went into figuring exactly how we can make this work where we can begin to protect our roads and reduce the wear and tear on it, so I did want to publicly thank them for their work. Thank you. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -426- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 13, 2015 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member Fisher. And thank you for your hard work. It’s very helpful to the city and its citizens and our roadways. It’s nice to have somebody who has a different perspective too, so thank you for your public service. Member Smuckler. MEMBER SMUCKLER: First, not foremost, Law Director, have we, other than the one landlord...we were supposed to talk about 5 landlords...have we honed in on anybody else that we’re going to court with? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director? ASSISTANT LAW DIRECTOR AYLWARD: Yes, but I can’t...I’m not at liberty right now, if you’ll call me tomorrow at work, I can talk about those. There are several that are pending, but they are not public yet. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Thank you. And to switch gears for a moment, I wanted to take this opportunity, on behalf of myself, my family...the love and respect that was shown to my family this last two weeks, it’s been a very difficult time. All those that have had loved ones passed, know how difficult it is and this was especially difficult because my father worked with us everyday. I want to just take the opportunity to thank everyone here, as the response was just tremendous, both at the funeral home and my home. I just can’t say enough on how you all acted and it was just incredible, just incredible. Thank you again. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member Smuckler. Any other Miscellaneous Business? I would like to, before we adjourn...a couple things. I talked to the Engineer today, by email, and again I’d like the city...and the Engineer indicated he would do this...the taxpayers deserve to know when public money, their money is being spent. They deserve to know what it’s being spent on. I asked this, I requested the Engineer about three or four months ago, we needed signs. Every place we start working, lets explain how much money is being spent and where it’s going, and why it’s being spent, and what’s going to happen when it ends. I don’t know why, frankly, the Administration doesn’t want to take credit for it because it’s worth it. Fulton Road is finally getting there. I think the people that drive it would like to know...okay, this is our money, now I see where it’s being spent, now I get it. So, when we have to ever go back to say to the citizens, “You know, we may need some more money from you”...maybe they’ll at least see it and understand it in a better fashion and a better light. So, the Engineer indicated he’s going to work on some signs, but we should do that on every public project we have in the city. (Applause). People deserve to know that. And that’s no criticism, that’s just getting this out in the public because I’d really like to see it done, as I’m sure Members of Council would also. But on a more positive note, in today’s New York Times, on the front page...and I brought it...of the sports section...this is probably the premier newspapers in the United States. One of the premier newspapers in the world. On the front page, written by the woman assigned to the Golf Tour, Karen Crouse, who’s as smart as a whip, is a story entitled “Prejudice Challenged a Path to St. Andrews”. The first paragraph begins, “an unexpected gift arrived last December at the Public Golf Course that Renee Powell’s father carved out of an old dairy farm in East Canton, Ohio. Interspersed with holiday mail was an envelope with a Scotland postmark. Inside was a letter of invitation for Powell to become one of the first seven female members of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews, known as the home of golf.” The whole article, and by the way, it stretches from the front page, basically the entire page 4 of the sports section of the New York Times. This woman has an indomitable spirit. I want to read to you, and then I’ll...I’ll shut up. The article says, Renee was asked...”People always ask me, ‘Was it fun being on tour?’ Now she played on the LPGA Tour from 1967 to around 1982. ‘Was it fun being on tour?’”Powell said. “I say, ‘Well, if you don’t mind having threat letters on your life, if you don’t mind having people lose your reservation at hotels, if you don’t mind people not serving you, then, yeah, it was fun.’” What she had to endure as an African-American woman on the Women’s Golf COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -427- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 13, 2015 Tour, I would say that none of us, I certainly speak for myself, I would not have been able to put up with it. But she did and she put up with it, not only with a great spirit, but she roomed with a Canadian. And when they weren’t served in restaurants, they would go in and...the waitresses and servers would walk by for hours, they would never get service. And they couldn’t get into a motel. And if they were served, she had to go in the back door. Renee said...what did her friend from Canada say...”You know what, this is all your fault, you’re a Canadian.” That’s the kind of spirit and guts that this woman had. And I would like to recommend, certainly, Mayor, that we have a Renee Powell Day for the City of Canton. And, additionally, we should have a... some kind of recognition through one of our Informal Resolutions, or a Formal Resolution. The woman is amazing and I know Deputy Mayor Williams and I had the opportunity to play in her golf tournament last year, and I’ll tell you something, you can’t believe the superstars that attend this golf tournament. We had just a great time and actually Fonda and I won some merchandise in the store, so we played well, but it was phenomenal, and the person that she asked to go with her...now she is in St. Andrews this week because she is going to be inducted, along with six other women, but the people...or the person that she took, and don’t take offense Cleveland Browns fans, Franco Harris was invited because she and Franco Harris...Franco Harris was very, very close friends with her father. So...and he was thrilled. He said it was the greatest moment of his life, other than being inducted into the Canton Football Hall of Fame. So, congratulations and a big shout out to Renee Powell. Mayor Healy. MAYOR HEALY: Thank you, Mr. President and thank you for that information. It’s always great to hear about hometown heroes. Also, for those of you who may not be aware, I think everybody should be by now, but the World Games of American Football are being played at the Canton Fawcett/Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. I’m not sure what the actual name is at the moment. In any case, we’ve had two rounds of games, USA did win the first two rounds. There were three games a day and the next set of games is going to be on Wednesday and then the finals will be this Saturday. So, the games start typically around noon, 3:30, and around 6:30, and the USA Team plays the night games, so if you wanted to go for the USA, you can do that. At the end of the Tournament, they will be awarding out the Gold, Silver, and Bronze for the teams, based on their rankings in the Tournament. Teams participating are not just from the USA, but from Mexico, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and France. If you have a chance to get out there and see them, it’s a great experience. I encourage everyone to come out. Thanks. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Mayor. Any other Miscellaneous Business? Leader. MEMBER MORRIS: Motion to adjourn. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second.
