OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning to Old Business. We have no Old Business tonight.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Turning now to Public Speaks. We have I believe two speakers rather than
three. Our first is Linda Campbell. Ms. Campbell, if you’ll step forward and give us your name and your
residential address. Linda Campbell. (Inaudible voices) Oh, alright.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Called my name?
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Okay.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Take your time. If you’ll step forward, ma’am, and give us your name and your
residential address, please, and welcome to Canton City Council.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Okay. My name is Linda Campbell. My address is 1016 Struble Avenue N.E., Canton,
Ohio 44705. I have some concerns, some safety concerns. Uh, there’s some issues about poles in the area
where I stay at. Um, I have one pole on Struble Avenue N.E. The number of that pole is 796A 4-37. It...they
claim it comes on late at night. When I was walking my dog it was off. And the people that stay up in that
area, and they claim well, this light comes on maybe around midnight and it flickers. The other poles, they’re
located on Sylvan Court N.E., and that pole number is 796A 4-4, and that’s like...1030, that’s like the lot
that’s in back of my home. Well, that light, they didn’t put a new pole up because the pole was put up maybe
about a year before they started putting new poles up, but I had called about that light and for some reason it’s
still not burning. I know it’s a vacant home right across from, I believe the home is like 1014. I’m not sure of
the address, and it’s been boarded up. But even though people been breaking in there and, you know, staying
in that place, you know... you know, there still should be a light up there. You know, there’s no reason why it
still shouldn’t be burning. Then the other issue is a light... is a pole on Sylvan Court that I noticed that was
off, and that... the number is 796A 4-46, and that... on that pole is 929. Well, the person that stays in this
yard, the light goes all the way back to Sylvan Court. He stay... his house face Struble. He claim he pays for
the light. Well, they do have a light up there. It’s like a box type light and it’s facing over in his yard and he’s
paying for that. I’m wondering how come there’s not a light going towards Sylvan Court. You know, even if
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -370-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 25, 2016
they... if he’s paying for one, well then they should have a pole I feel... I... I don’t know how it is. I know that
in one of the yards where a lot is at, they do have a pole in that yard. This particular place, instead of the street
light where it goes towards the alley, it’s completely dark back there. You know, in the...where... where it
should have been a light going towards the alley. They have it going towards his home, a little box type, and
he claim he pays for that. So, I was wondering how come that is because it’s completely dark back there. You
know, if you drive through there it’s completely dark. The other issues I have is there’s a water line break and
it’s in between a hoome, like the address of that home is one thou...
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: You only have about ten seconds. Sorry.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Oh, okay. I’ll talk with that blu, bla...well, anyway. (Chuckles) It’s a water line break.
That needs concern. It’s been going on for like four... four weeks. Complete stream. And then the vacant
homes, what they’re gonna do about the lots, 1016 Gibbs, it’s been up... (buzzer sounds) It’s on demolition.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: That’s it.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Okay. But, there are some of the issues. Thank you for your time.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Did you give us the address on the water leak?
LINDA CAMPBELL: that was 1000 Gibbs.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. Thank you very much, ma’am. Appreciate it, and...
LINDA CAMPBELL: Alright.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: ...thank you for coming down.
LINDA CAMPBELL: Thank you. (Applause)
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Our next, and I guess our only speaker left is Dan Phillip. Dan Phillip. Mr.
Phillip, good evening. Welcome. If you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address,
sir.
DAN PHILLIP: Yes, good evening. My name is Dan Phillip. I’m not a Canton resident. I’m from Ashland,
Ohio, but I’m running for the United States House of Representatives as the independent candidate for 7th
Congressional District. So I just wanted to take a few...a minute or two just to introduce myself. My roots
are here in Canton. Uh, my mom grew up on 3rd and Young. Uh, my dad was in an area that no longer exists.
I think State Route 30 went through there. I lived on Maxine Avenue when I was a little kid and had spent
some time here. So I just... uh, my relatives are from Canton, Massillon, this area. So I just wanted to come
in and introduce... I own a business. I’ve owned it for 17 years. My speciality is really working with
manufacturers on work force development. I do that in three different states, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
And that’s one of the reasons I’ve decided to run. There’s a lot that needs done there, and manufacturing’s
vitally important to our...our...um, our nation. So that’s a brief history about myself. So thank you very
much for the time.

Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Safety Director. Appreciate it.
MEMBER WEST: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.
MEMBER WEST: I’d like to thank Linda Campbell for coming down and sharing some of her concerns in her
neighborhood. Um, Service Director, could you look into the water main break, or water break, that’s on 1000,
I think she said...
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: Gibbs.
MEMBER WEST: Gibbs. Uh, she said it’s been going on for four weeks now, and I just came... I just learned
of this today, so if you could look into that I’d appreciate it. Thank you.
MEMBER FISHER: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.
MEMBER FISHER: Uh, I just want to give you an update. We were gonna do this two weeks ago, but I took
one look at my neighbor up here, Member Dougherty, and we had about ten o’clock, and I’m pretty sure I
wouldn’t survive giving the update. Uh, but a few weeks ago we gave... a few of us, Member Mack... Chairman
Mack from Judiciary, Member Hawk, myself, Director Miller, Director Perry, as well as Tim Cugini who’s...
uh, has left the city to move to another job. We met via phone with the EPA in regards to the asbestos
remediation which were continued to be required to carry out on residential demolitions. This is... uh, for years
I’ve been contending as well as others that the Federal Registry... uh, Registrar does not require that the EPA
regulation in 40 CFR 61, Part M, specifically says that an entire city should not be considered a job site. A
neighborhood within a city should not be a job site. Well, this time around we heard the term, uh, well, because
it’s an urban renewal project. Uh, when we asked for a definition of an urban renewal contract, we were given
the answer that it is a term of art, there isn’t really a definition for it. Um, basically the idea being because we
actually plan ahead before we tear down a house, then somehow the residential exemption doesn’t apply to us.
Two million dollars at least since I’ve been on this Council, and much more before that, has been spent
following this regulation that I can’t find in Federal Code, and neither can our Congressman’s office or our
Senator’s office. So, we have asked the EPA to send the letter to the Federal EPA asking for guidance to define
what an urban renewal project is, and I continue to contend that we’re spending this money... Although I agree,
Director Miller and... and... Safety Director and the Law Department, that we’re following the guidelines from
HUD, but I believe that... that us, as well as other cities, are continuing to be forced to spend money following a
regulation that is not on the books. And I do want to thank the Chairman and the members of the
Administration, everybody that... and Member Hawk for sitting in and... and helping out greatly in this meeting,
and hopefully we will get to a point where we can get this either identified so we can try to get our Congressman
to get that removed from Federal Code, or we can have it cleared up that it was never there in the first place.
Thank you.
PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Any other remarks?

SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT SHULMAN: Yes.
SERVICE DIRECTOR BARTOS: I didn’t get the address, Member West, but I had already sent that to
Superintendent Converse after I sat back down. I was dealing with another issue, but Finance Director Crouse
let me know about the location. And any... anybody in the crowd or anybody in general who might... might get
this message. You know, if you see a main break or something that doesn’t look right, our water department is
very proactive, but we... we might not, you know, catch everything, so we have a 24 hour service line, 330-489-
3315. That’s 330-489-3315. So we are very proactive, but don’t assume that we know about everything, and
don’t feel like you have to wait till a Council meeting to come down and let us know about it. Um, we do have
somebody who’s at... on the phone 24-7. And you can also call our... our dispatch office as well. They... uh,
they dispatch for the water department at night. Thank you.
