As I said, that was a wonderful way to begin. Congratulations. So good to have you here, you know, for many reasons, but from my perspective it’s no nice to have young people here because you are... (Laughter) And that’s not a... that’s not a... I’m not trying... I’m not trying to offend any older people in the audience, but it’s good to have young people involved in our civil processes. It is so critically important. You bring... um, you bring a different perspective. You bring a new perspective. MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes.

I got the stop pulled. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: But... well, it’s good to have... well, we do have a young council, and it’s great to have you. Congratulations again.

We do have four speakers signed up this evening. And, our first speaker is Jonathan Bailey. Mr. Bailey, as always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll step forward and give us your name and your residential address please. Good evening, sir. JONATHAN BAILEY: Good evening. Jonathan Bailey. I live at 830 Cherry Ave., and I want to start with an apology because I was parroting back to you information about these vender’s licenses from lower city officials, and I have been since corrected since the last time I’ve been here. So, I was saying things like you were required to have two separate vender’s licenses for an ordinary business day. Turns out that’s not true, but I was told that by somebody so I believed it. So everything... I have to reconsider how that works now. Uh, and there seems to be some confusion of what it is I’m trying to do here. I’m not making any money really. I am barely off the flat of my back here. I want to make more money by getting into the vending business. So some of you are thinking I’m complaining about paying. I’m gonna buy one next spring, I think, if I’m lucky. And my concern is... is high, but you say it’s good for reasons, but... and that’s what all I was trying to do is be on the side of... of the law and to be... do it right. I don’t want to risk what I built. And I’m gonna cut if short because I have to go home and think about what I was talking about you earlier about there is... I will bring it up next mission, but there are a lot, not all, but a lot of poor people who are afraid of city hall. I’m gonna go talk to some of them and find out why. One of the reasons why I’m doing this is to bring more people into city hall. There’s not enough poor people voting. And why are they afraid of you? I don’t see you... you don’t scare me in the least little bit. I’m poor. She’s poor. So there’s a disconnect. (Laughter) We... we have... we... uh, I and... I’m gonna run for City Council. It’s gonna happen. That’s happening because there are people who are afraid of you for no reason that I can see, and that has to be fixed. That’s a bad situation. When you have people afraid of you for no real reason they might lash out and do something crazy. They’re warning me about you, but then I don’t see it. You know. That’s a problem, don’t you think? I’ll bring it up next elec... uh, next Council meeting because that’s weird to me that people are afraid of you COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -428- MINUTES OF THE MEETING SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 guys. Have a good day. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Bailey. (Applause) Thanks for coming down and sharing your views. We do appreciate it. Our next speaker is Stephon King. If you’ll step forward, sir. Welcome as always to Canton City Council. If you’ll just give us your name... STEPHON KING: Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: ...and your residential address, please. STEPHON KING: 910 Bedford Ave. Hey, Scagg... uh, Greg, Greg. Once again... once again, it’s great and an honor, right, to stand before you, and as... and I come to you as the Vice... first Vice President of the NAACP, right, and what we wanted to do is thank Council for the... the... continued support, you know, of the Stark County NAACP, and we want to make sure that... that all know that we are yet still moving for right, want to make sure, right, that we do have your continued support, right. Uh, we want to make sure that all do know also, right, that we are a voluntary... we are all on voluntary basis, right. There’s nobody that gets paid, right, with the NAACP, so all that we do we do from our hearts. Now once again, we are coming up on our... our Freedom Fund banquet on the 13th of October, and want to make sure, right, that City Council does know, right, and we are asking for your continued support. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. Pleasure. (Applause) Your organization does tremendous work and we do appreciate it. STEPHON KING: Thank you, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Our next speaker is James Parker. Mr. Parker, if you’ll step forward and give us your name and residential address, and as always welcome to Canton City Council. JAMES PARKER: Thank you, President Schulman. James Parker, 630 Penny St S.E., City of North Canton. Um, I wanted to continue, just to take a moment of your time regarding a playground in Skyline Terrace. Last week I had brought this up and at the very end of the meeting Councilwoman Smith mentioned that there is a playground fund between either Skyline or People’s Baptist Church. Perhaps you could ask her to clarify precisely where this fund exists because I’d like to donate to it as she indicated I should. And yet I’ve spoken with Cassandra Wisdom and Dan Thompson, People’s Baptist Church. The most I’ve heard is that they’re working on getting the old playground that’s dilapidated torn off of People’s Baptist Church property. That playground was put on there for your information by the former management company of Skyline Terrace, I believe when it used to be Highland Park. Now I’ve spoken with the owner of Skyline Terrace today out of Grapevine, Texas, Jimmy Arnold, Arnold Properties, they own Skyline Terrace. I tried to get ahold of their regional director, oversight director, for the Skyline Terrace property, Stephanie Ingram, who I’ve spoken with in the past. In the past I called her Stephanie Gallagher here, I apologize, cause we know she works upstairs. But Stephanie Ingram is no longer with the company. Mr. Arnold told me that when he finds some money loosened up he’s gonna give me a call so I can help on it, but he doesn’t know of any playground fund. Whereupon I told him I’ve heard that kind of talk before. Let me tell you I’m gonna be calling you back in a couple of weeks. We’re gonna find some money somewhere. You’re gonna get your lawyer, and this lawyer over here, because the main problem is the property configuration where this playground is on People’s COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -429- MINUTES OF THE MEETING SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 Baptist Church property, but looks like it’s Skyline. And there’s other parcels or plats of lands that are vice versa, they look like they should be Skyline and they’re really People’s and so on. This is where it would a perfect project for a councilwoman to get in, get local people together to sit down and solve these problems that slip through the cracks on private property. When I had her at a meeting the last time a couple months ago, she called Derek Gordon and recommended that the Baptist Church donate that property to the city for a park. Well they don’t want to do that, so we need another plan. We need more than five minutes of work put in on that, and then I, you know, a quick idea and a phone call. That’s not cutting it. So, I don’t know what needs to be done except that this provincial fiefdom that you all have with each of our wards needs to, you know, you need to get the gray lines out of there and work together so that the Councilman-at–Large, perhaps the President, can get to the bottom of why for the five years that I’ve been invited to try to make a difference at Skyline Terrace that I’ve seen a torn up property there that’s unfit for any kid to play on. Now I’m gonna start bringing in residents of Skyline Terrace and you’re gonna hear from them personally cause I’ve been working on this for over five years and I’ve got diddly-squat as far as anything getting done about it, and it concerns me. And I don’t know where this playground fund is, I don’t believe it exists. I think what you may have meant was if I want to donate to the church they have a building fund, but there’s nothing specific for this playground to do anything about, and it sits there hanging out like a turtle sticking his head out of my you know what. And I have just had it with this, and I’d like to get some results. So this would be perfect for someone to get involved with, and I really would appreciate some action on this. Thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Mr. Parker, as always. (Applause) The last speaker is Nicole Thompson. Ms. Thompson, good evening. Welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and residential address, please. NICOLE THOMPSON: My name is Nicole Thompson, and I live at 205 6th St NW, Apt 301 in... right here in downtown. Um, I just wanted to speak with you tonight. I want to clarify that I am speaking as a private citizen. Um, and I just want to say a big thank you to all of you. I know deep down... I’ve talked with a lot of you over several years, but I know that deep down you really, really care for the city, and are really trying to work as hard as you can to make the city as best as it can, so I just want to say thank you because I’m sure you don’t hear that enough. Um, I did also want to encourage you guys to keep trying to think out of the box, keep trying to think of new ways to make our city better. Sometimes those out of the box thinkings are I think really what can really put Canton ahead. And I really think that Canton has some great days ahead. I really think that we can overcome some of, I think what we sometimes see as... we’re our worst critic here in Canton I think sometimes, and I think that we can find the good here in the city and bring that out. Um, and with that I live in the downtown area. I have... I moved downtown when my place of business worked at moved downtown as well, and I have loved living downtown. I must tell you that. Um, I love walking to coffee shops. I love the businesses that are there. I love going out for the night life. And most of all the business owners, there is a real community in downtown. Everybody does in fact know you, and people do watch out for you. With that being said, there’s been a recent amount of crime that has happened in our downtown area, and that’s concerning for me specifically as a short five foot female. Uh, that’s concerning. I have never felt unsafe in downtown, but this... the recent crime actions have concerned me. Um, what I want to do as a citizen is I want to offer to you and any other people that work in the city if there is anything that as a citizen that I can do, a committee that I can be a part of, anyway that we can form some kind of a citizen’s neighborhood watch or something like that, I would love to join that and be on that. So I want to offer that. So again, thank you so much for everything you guys do. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -430- MINUTES OF THE MEETING SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. (Applause) Thank you very much and thank you for your gesture. Appreciate it, and we will definitely take you up there. A lot of places and a lot of people that care about downtown and want to build it, rebuild it, and keep it moving forward. And we, you know, we need people like you. So thanks again for coming. Appreciate it. Thanks to everybody for attending public speaks. We always listen to you. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We are now under Informal Resolutions. We have none this evening.

Giant Eagle again really stepped forward. Seven different stores were involved. No one walked away without some groceries and a full stomach. And the kids all got kids bags, and the fire department was here. Police SWAT vehicle. We had the wild van from Aultman. Good stuff, and everybody from the Mayor’s office on down to the 7th floor, Law Department, Auditors. It was... uh, it was a great event. The rain held out, so that was good and we’ll look forward to next year, the 26th year of doing Feed the Needy. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Well, Member Dougherty, great job. (Applause) Member Dougherty, you’re outstanding. You do a fantastic job. The community does appreciate it. Anyone else? Any other miscellaneous... MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER SMUCKLER: In yesterday’s newspaper there was an article about the Onesto. And I and several other Council people had some strong feelings about a building that was virtually falling down before our eyes and a building that’s now full occupancy, and I confirmed that today, and is having events regularly there. And for the record, the appraisal was done before there was any occupancy, and there’ll be another appraisal next year besides the private appraisal that Deputy Mayor Williams informed me that he has a copy of that was done for slightly over ten million dollars, almost eleven million dollars. I’m gonna reiterate just one thing here. I came in here in the 1980's and downtown was horrible, horrible. And there was one developer that would stay here. Not five, not ten, not twenty. There was one. And I can tell you this, that through the diligence of that developer Onesto exists. Through the diligence of the developer Bliss Tower is already being rented out. And this has been a turnaround for downtown and there’s others that are following such as Bob Timken and the Hercules building. Now, I can tell you this, that social medias can be a wonderful thing and a horrible thing. And Mr. Resnick’s on the school board already questioning the TIF. And I confirmed with Mr. Williams that he went over and met with members of the school board and Adrian Allison last December. We’re doing things by the book and it’s making a tremendous impact on downtown. And I think that the record will show when this is all said and done that this Council did the right thing by the amount of money that we’re working with to not only do the Onesto, do the Bliss Tower, and do Hercules cause people are moving to downtown Canton. And we should all be very proud of that, and I know after speaking with Mr. Coon today it’s hard to watch your name in the paper, but he’s doing all the right things and he’s making things happen down here, and we should be very grateful that he decided to stay and help rebuild our city. Thank you. (Applause) PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Any other comments? Leader. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 102 JOURNAL PAGE -444- MINUTES OF THE MEETING SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 MEMBER MORRIS: Yeah, Mr. President, I would like to not only kinda educate, but point out a few things to Mr. Parker back there. Okay, first off, and let all Council Members be completely aware, this legislative authority does not, and I repeat does not have any jurisdiction over any private park land or park land. This Council only controls the budget for the park. All the park property and recreation facilities are controlled by the Parks Department, Park Commissioners. So, in defense of Member Smith, to come in here and say that we need to motivate Council Members to do stuff on private property, this is the wrong venue. You need to go to the Park Commissioners, sit down, talk to Mr. Black, talk to Mr. Sliman, and Mike Hanke. Those are the gentlemen that control the recreational funds as well as park lands for these kids. I’m not saying the kids shouldn’t get it, I’m just saying that we had one Council Member step in a pile of dog crap a while back with a church and some park land. Everybody knows not to do that again. So I applaude Member Smith for treading cautiously with sticking her nose in somebody else’s property because it will not end well. Motion to adjourn. MEMBER SMITH: Second. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Leader. Motion to adjourn. Roll call vote, please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 10 YEAS, 0 NAY CLERK SHOWES: Ten yeas, Sir.
