COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 104 JOURNAL PAGE -144- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 21, 2016 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Good evening...good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Canton City Council. Before I begin, I would really, very much like to thank my friends here in Council who took over during my absence. Actually, they took over in a better way, which resulted in my coming back much earlier than I thought I would. But it is humbling to have good friends, and we really...my wife, my family, and I do really appreciate it. It’s good to see good friends in the audience who have been sick for a while. With a chair...um, with a quorum being present...and by the way, I may make some mistakes tonight for various reasons, but I hope to make as few mistakes as possible. With a quorum being present, the Chair calls this meeting of Canton City Council to Order. Roll call vote please, Mister Clerk.

OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Moving now to Ordinances...under Ordinances, we have none this evening under Old Business. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We do have one under Public Speaks. Our first speaker is Andy Black. Mr. Black if you’ll step forward. Good evening. As always, welcome to Canton City Council. ANDY BLACK: Thank you. My name is Andy Black. I live at 3913 Market Avenue North. I’m the current President of the Canton City Parks, and soon to be the Canton City Parks & Recreation Department. I’m here tonight to thank the members of the body, all the Council Members, the Mayor, and this Administration for helping us pass Issue 5, this past Tuesday. Without your help, your support, it certainly could not have been accomplished. We turned around from November of last year, just a short 4 months ago, losing by 1000 votes, to this past March by passing by almost 5000 votes. Without your efforts, that certainly could not have been possible. Many of you contributed you dollars, your time, your expertise in making this happen. I want to thank you for coming out walking the streets, talking to your constituents. Council Member Smith, making a commercial, the Mayor helping make a commercial, that helped that passage. I also would be remiss in not thanking all of the other unions, the ASCME Union, the Ironworkers Local 560...550, Aultman Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, the Karcher Group for helping push the...our Facebook pages, and many, many others, including the Repository. I look forward to working with all of you in the coming months as we merge our two departments together. You’ve already started that through passage of an Ordinance that allows this Department to seek additional funds though various government organizations. There will be the codification of our park rules, that’s on your agenda for hopefully your adoption in the next couple of meetings. And starting this Thursday, we will be working with the HR Department and with our Law Department to lay out the structure for the new organization, the job descriptions and the time lines for making this merger possible. I’d also like to thank our Chairman, Sam Sliman, for the extraordinary amount of effort that he put forward in making this levy pass as well as J.R. Rinaldi, who is the President of the Joint Recreational District. And the last thing I’d like to do is just close with these three...six simple words, and that’s thank you, thank all of you, and thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, and what a remarkable job the community did. We appreciate all your help.

PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 104 JOURNAL PAGE -155- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 21, 2016 MEMBER SMUCKLER: Some people believe that Monday night is the time that business gets done down here at City Council. I don’t want it to go left unsaid that we just passed a $50 million dollar plus budget and barely a peep was uttered. There was countless hours that Member Mariol, other Members of the Finance Committee, the rest of Council got briefed on over and over and over again. And that doesn’t even go into the fact the amount of time that the Administration and the Mayor’s office spent on this budget. I, like Councilman Hawk, had not voted for these budgets in the past because they were not revenue driven, but the amount of work, the amount of energy, the amount of time that was spent on this was just incredible and I want to commend Member Mariol, the rest of the Finance Committee, and especially the Mayor, bringing about a compromise of something that we could all live with tonight. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Any other remarks? MEMBER BABCOCK: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER BABCOCK: The Treasurer’s Office are collecting hygiene products to support the Veterans and their military families. They have been set up in their office and the drive will take place from March 21st to April 15th. Any donations will be very much appreciated. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Any other remarks? MEMBER WEST: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER WEST: This is for the Service Director. I know you had mentioned that they’re going to start the 12th Street Project in April. I have a concern. Between Market and Cleveland, it appears that they did do a layer, one layer already, the early phase I guess, of that project. It’s already coming up and there are some potholes that are actually being formed. My concern is if they did it just last year and we didn’t have a rough winter this year, and it’s already coming up, my concern is...is this going to be an ongoing situation in the future. I’m not asking you to...I’m asking if you can check into that and get back to me on it so you don’t have to respond to that. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Any other remarks? I’d just like to thank again all my friends here at Council and people that come down here. I really appreciate the thoughts and prayers you sent to me and my family. It’s much appreciated. Member Dougherty, thank you very much for those kind words, it’s very heartfelt, and I do appreciate it. Hopefully I’ll get a little better and I won’t be quite as stupid as I was tonight. It’s been a while so it’s getting back in the saddle again, and I appreciate your patience, believe me. And I think the world of each and every one of you. With that, anything else? Leader. Leader. MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President, that is a very tough job up there. I must say, it’s easy to get distracted. I move we adjourn. MEMBER SMITH: Second.
