PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Chairman Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you, good sir. Finance Committee will meet Monday, October 19th at 6:45 p.m. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. (Inaudible). Good. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning to Miscellaneous Business. Member Mack. MEMBER MACK: Yes, thank you, Mr. President. As a Ward, City Councilperson, there’s several things that are unique about my Ward. Just like all of your Wards, that are very important to me and my constituents. One of those things is the fire station that we have, located in the City of Canton, Northern Canton on Vernon and 47th, Station 10. I was very, very upset and frustrated when I saw the same email all of you received this Sunday from Chief Rich, dated October 1st that reads, in part “The following plan will be put in place at the Canton Fire Department in the near future. The Engine Company from Station 10, located at 47th and Vernon Ave. NW, will be relocated to Station 4, which is located at 25th Street and Cleveland Ave. NW”. Not knowing precisely what that means, fortunately on social media I saw a post from a President of a Neighborhood Association that reads, “The Fire Chief has decided to make some changes...” And it continues, “Friends on the north end of town lost Station 10, sort of. The Station 10 building at 47th and Vernon NW will no longer be staffed.” That I would learn that something like this was even being contemplated in a weekend memorandum and on social media is simply astounding. How the Chief, or whomever, could make a decision like this without consulting the Councilperson, consulting the community...and working through the broader strategy...because when we talk about the importance of Station 10, certainly it’s important to Ward 8, but it’s also important in terms of our city’s overall strategy. As we annex farther north, as we should be doing, that station is the station that services these new areas of annexation, or at least potentially can be. This is very upsetting, to say the least, and Safety Director Perry, I’m hoping you can explain exactly what’s going on here. SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Sure. Mr. President, to the Councilman. First of all, thank you for asking that question and let me be very clear. We’ve not changed our processes at this point, relative to how the fire stations are operating. They’re still in the rotation that they’ve been on for a period of time. Let me first say this, what you saw on Facebook was some information that was shared that wasn’t for public information, just yet. Chief Rich is, with his management team, always looking at the various ways in which to allocate and re- allocate his resources within the department. So, let me first say that...that’s what he and the Union set out to COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -588- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2015 do. They had a meeting, they sat down, they did some analysis relative to the decline, as well as the shift, the declining population, the shifts in the population. They looked at other analysis as far as...you have the oil and gas industry that’s in, so you gotta take he railroad system into consideration. So, there are many factors that they took into consideration. They had an internal meeting. They sat down and met with the Union, and their next step was, they would actually brought all of this to the Administration, which never got an opportunity to happen because it was shared prior to the being able to happen. Once that information would have been shared with the Administration, we would have come to this body, to Council, for your (Inaudible), you comments, and your approval, to then implement what changes we were considering. At that point we would have gone to...once we talked to everybody in Council, everybody’s on the same page, at that point we would have went to the public. So, I apologize. None of that information should have been sent out or shared, but we are in the day of social media and that’s what transpired. MEMBER MACK: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Mack. MEMBER MACK: Then, just so it’s clear in my mind, and I’ll ask it very directly. Has a final decision been made to close Station 10? SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President. To Councilman Mack. There have been no decisions to close anything at this point. MEMBER MACK: Then I thank you, Safety Director. I very much appreciate that response. What I would ask, as any discussions are going forward, in which a closure of Station 10 is even being considered, I would ask that I have an opportunity to be included and I think that is what you were contemplating. Just for purposes of the record, I certainly would want to have my views expressed on that. SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President. To Councilman Mack. That we would come to every member of this Council with relative to your various Wards and Community is (Inaudible). MEMBER MACK: Thank you Safety Director and thank you Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Director. Thank you Member Mack. Any other Miscellaneous Business? MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Leader Morris. MEMBER MORRIS: A questions to the Safety Director regarding this matter. Is there any way that we can hold the individuals accountable that’s putting this out on social media? No pun intended, but I was putting out fires over this conversation that was put on the Ward 9 page because the first allegation that came out was, “we’re underfunded, Council needs to hold the Administration accountable, We don’t have enough Fireman”...and I know that this Council funded the Fire Department. I know that we’ve increased our staffing levels and we’re taking shots from our constituents because somebody walked out of a meeting and shot off their mouth on social media. I’m not really appreciating it and I’m sure most Council Members don’t appreciate taking a beating over...whether it be somebody within the Fire Administration or somebody within their Union, COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -589- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2015 who is intentionally putting this out there to...their intent is to basically make someone look bad. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Director. SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President. To the Council. Leader Morris. That’s a conversation I did have with the Law Department, relative to...but you run into Freedom of Speech issues. That’s what we’re up against with social media. So, to answer your question very quickly, that’s his...he didn’t tell the whole story. He told a part of the story, but he didn’t share information that was yet to be shared. To your point, to date we’ve hired, over the last two years we’ve hired 26 firefighters, to bring our total up to about 150 right now. We’ve also, in this Administration, along with the Chiefs, we meet and discuss the budget. Keeping a close eye on our overtime budget, for one thing. If you were to look at our budget, if you took a comparison of 2008 numbers versus our to date, today, at this time frame, we’re at less than 50% of where we were in 2008. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Director. Any other Miscellaneous Business? MEMBER HAWK: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Member Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you. I’m a bit confused here. I think, Director Perry, you just said we have 150 firefighters, currently, right as of today? SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Yes, we do. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you very much. I’m looking at this, and this is not social media, this is on City stationery, dated October 1st, from the Chief. And it says, “Canton Fire Department realignment. I mean, this is not social media. This is our letterhead I’m looking at here. Was in our mailbox. I guess I’m a bit confused here. Somebody help me out here, clear it up. SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Mr. President. To Councilman Hawk. You’re referring to a memo? That was...when we first receive the calls regarding the information that is out on social media, the questions to me were...”what transpired”. So that memo that you received was a memo that the Chief and I crafted to make an understanding of what, for Council, based on what was said on the social media, so...the whole story of what transpired. That was not a final anything. That was a work product that they had discussed in their meeting, period. No changes have been made. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Anything else, Member Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: (Inaudible). I’m sorry, I was just confused..is this social media looking like... SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: ...And I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t confuse you further. MEMBER HAWK: You didn’t... SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: The social media, as I indicated, only had a portion of the story. So, what I was attempting to do, was give the full story so we could have a talking point and it just went from there... COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -590- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2015 MEMBER HAWK: I understand, but in the statement it says “The following plan will be put in place at the Canton Fire Department in the near future”, so it’s very...it sounds like it’s... SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: That was a discussion that he was going to have with the Administration that never got an opportunity to take place. It was shared before we got an opportunity to do anything. MEMBER HAWK: Okay, but we currently have 150 firefighters? SAFETY DIRECTOR PERRY: Yes, we do. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Hawk. Anything else. MEMBER GRIFFIN: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes, Member Griffin. MEMBER GRIFFIN: I’d like to piggyback on what Member Ed Mack said. If there is a meeting I would like to be included because Station 5, in Ward 3, was included in that shutdown. We’ve been shutdown a lot. I’ve been begging over the years that Ward 3 and Station 5...we have the largest employer in the City of Canton. We’ve got the Mayfield Manor, with 275 elderly women there. We’ve got the shopping centers and...why Ward 5 has been picked on a heck of a lot, I’d like to know, and I would like to be included in that meeting. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Member Griffin. Any other remarks? Hearing none...Mayor Healy, I’m sorry. MAYOR HEALY: Mr. President, and to this Council. I wanted to share with you...I’ve actually drafted and introduced an Executive Order and I don’t do that very often, but I was quite moved recently and put this into effect. I will share with you that, in our community...we have many factors in our community that make us strong and make us who we are. A big portion of that is the spiritual community; the churches and the religions that we have in our community. More so than that, it’s not about just having churches. It’s about having leaders in these churches that actually reach out beyond their congregation and become a part of our community. We know we’ve had great leaders in the past like Father Coleman. He’s been recognized by 72 buildings in our city, here. We get a lot of recognition for him, but I grew up with Father Coleman. I didn’t go to his church, but we lived in the neighborhood, so we knew who he was. He basically took care of all the kids and (Inaudible) so much for our city. We have leaders like Walt Henderson in the black community and we had Rabbi Spitzer, who...everybody knows who Rabbi Spitzer is because he transcended beyond his congregation that he had. And so, what I wanted to do was...I wanted to do something to recognize the importance of these individuals in our community. It came to me because of one individual who I was very close to, who recently passed, and that’s Pastor George Dunwoody. Pastor Dunwoody has done some wonderful things in our community, particularly with the kids at the Hartford School in education, as well as his spiritual leadership and music. When he had succumbed to cancer, this past weekend they did an event to develop the George Dunwoody Foundation. I thought that was a great opportunity for me to take action, and I did. I’ll read the Executive Order, if Council would oblige. I was establishing October 7th as Spiritual Leadership Day and establishing the George Dunwoody Spiritual Leadership Award. “Whereas Canton, Ohio has long been characterized as a strong, faith COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -591- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2015 based community, and has taken to it’s heart those who have served the religious needs of our City, by going above and beyond the congregations, performing invaluable work in a spirit of fellowship, charity, and love which truly is emblematic of the spiritual teachings that the faith community represents. And Whereas the City of Canton seeks to Honor and reflect the service and compassion in it’s operations everyday, inspired by all leaders in the religious community and typified in the person of Pastor George Dunwoody. Whereas Pastor George Dunwoody, born on October 7, 1959 tirelessly committed his life to Life Ministries International Church, the Greater Canton religious community, Canton City Schools, and all those in need of love and compassion until his final journey of peace and glory on April 19, 2015. Whereas the work of Pastor George Dunwoody is but one shining example of many great spiritual leaders in the City of Canton, who have committed their lives to service, transcending beyond one congregation to reach throughout our entire community. Whereas the Chief Executive Officer of Canton, Ohio, the Mayor is charged with ultimately...with the ultimate responsibility of supervising and directing the day to day affairs of the City Departments and Offices as prescribed by the Ohio Revised Code, the Codified Ordinances of the City of Canton, And Now Therefore, I, William J. Healy II, Mayor of the City of Canton, under the authority conferred by the State of Ohio, hereby order that October 7th...er...the 7th day of October, this year and every year now and hereafter into perpetuity, shall be marked as Spiritual Leadership Recognition Day, and further be ordered that the City of Canton shall mark this day in honor of all current and former spiritual leaders as one to re-commit their compassion and loving service to others; And Be It Further Ordained that each year on this day, the City of Canton will nominate and recognize one spiritual leader that has not only lead their congregation in the spirit of service, but also make positive impact on the entire community and present to this person the George Dunwoody Spiritual Leadership Award, and further be ordered, in recognition of our past spiritual leaderships...er...leaders, all flags in the City shall be...shall fly at half-staff on this day in memory of our religious leaders who served their communities beyond the congregation and embodied their faith. And further ordered that on 12:00 p.m. on this day, which is Wednesday, October 7th, all employees of the City of Canton shall join the community in a moment of silence reflecting this spiritual leadership in recognition of all faith based leaders, current and present, throughout our community. And I’ve signed under, my name and cause the seal and its affected date of October 7. I presented that to the congregation at the George Dunwoody Foundation, and Chris Smith was with us and she presented the naming of the street...that Hartford to George Dunwoody Blvd...er Corridor, thank you. So Council had recognized and we were there to present this. Yesterday I presented to Brother Dave Lombardi, the first recipient of the George Dunwoody award at Trinity Gospel. Brother Dave Lombardi, most of you know, has been very, very active in so many things in our community. He’s partnered with us many, many times. Food programs, voucher programs that we’ve done, Council approved, their congregation has volunteered to help pass those out and distribute those multiple occasions and literally, just this week, I’ve recommended him to the Attorney General to host, and they did, the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program. We had over 400 individuals in our community with outstanding warrants come and get those cleaned up. Their congregation helped with that. Every time we have asked for help, they were there for us and they’ve come to us many times. So, I want to let it be known that Brother Dave Lombardi is the first recipient. I have a plaque that we’ve created. We’re going to hang it wall of City Hall and each year we’ll add another name to that. There’s so many great, great spiritual leaders in our community that could be on this list, but we wanted to make it special and more importantly, recognize them because that is a very important part of a strong community, strong spiritual base. That’s the Executive Order and I wanted to share it with Council today. Thank you so much. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Mayor. Any other Miscellaneous Business? Hearing none, Leader. MEMBER MORRIS: Motion to move...er...leave...er...adjourn. (Laughter). COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 103 JOURNAL PAGE -592- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2015 MEMBER SMITH: Second.
