You take a week off and you just can’t read. (Laughter). Is there anybody in the audience wishing to speak for or against this Ordinance, will you please step forward. Is anyone in the audience, again, speaking for or against this, would you please step forward. I see no one stepping forward... CONSTITUENT: Excuse me... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Oh sorry...I’m sorry...please. If you’ll step forward, give us your name please, and your address, and welcome. MARGARET CLINTWORTH: My name is Margaret Clintworth and my address is 1719 Fulton Rd. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Could you pull that down so we can hear you better? MARGARET CLINTWORTH: Yes, thank you...and, uh, I do have some questions about the new...the proposed Ordinance. If it could be explained to me, what is being proposed. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Excuse me, Mr. President, Members of Council. This particular zone COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -257- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 change, uh, is being requested by the Klimo Family Foundation. Currently the zoning is R3. They are requesting a PB-1... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: (Inaudible). I’m sorry. You’re asking about the Preservation, are you not? MARGARET CLINTWORTH: No. I’m asking about the Fulton Rd? (Laughter). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We should never doubt! (Laughter). DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Where was I! (Laughter). They’re asking for a PB-1 for a Planned Office Business. Uh, the...there will be a non-profit called Hannah’s House, a 501 C3, located there. They desire to provide mentoring, life skill services, to young people who are..who have aged out of foster...foster care. Young people who have been involved in sex trafficking...young people who basically are looking to find their way. So this non-profit organization requested the zone change because they will have staff housed at this facility. The young people will stay there for a period of time while they’re receiving life skills and mentor training services. MARGARET CLINTWORTH: So, staffing would be there 2 hours a day? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: That’s correct. MARGARET CLINTWORTH: Ok. Would that have any bearing to...on the property... I own next door, which is an apartment building, a rental. And I was wondering if that would have any bearing on the rental properties, as far as changing, uh...the changing, uh...the environment or...or, uh...you know, allowing my business to continue? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Mr. President. Um, ma’am, I don’t believe so. We...we have business like this throughout the city. They very quietly...they’re very well staffed, they do a very good job of working with the young people, and again, these are...these are primarily young people who’ve been in foster care and they’ve aged out, and there is a great deal of concern in our community that there’s not enough businesses like this to work with young people who’ve aged out of foster care. MARGARET CLINTWORTH: Ok, thank you. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much, ma’am. We appreciate you coming down. I hope that answered your questions. MARGARET CLINTWORTH. Thank you, it did. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Good. Thank you. I presume there’s no one else that has any questions, so, these Ordinances will be heard later this evening. OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Old Business. Deputy Mayor, do we have any Old Business? COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -258- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Mr. President, we do not. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Public Speaks and we do have 6 speakers this evening. Our first speaker is Vicki Boatright. Ms. Boatright, welcome as always, to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name though, and your residential address. VICKI BOATRIGHT. Okay. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. VICKI BOATRIGHT: My name is Vicki Boatright. I live at 1516 (Inaudible) Ave. NE, in Canton. I am here with the Ohio District 7 Indivisible Team and Action Together Stark, which are citizen groups that came into being after the latest election. Last week we witnessed one of the most uncaring and heartless events in politics to ever occur in our country. Our United States House of Representatives voted to destroy millions of American’s rights to healthcare. Tone deaf to the appeals of constituents, consumer groups, doctors, medical associations, mental health and substances abuse providers, etcetera. They voted for a draconian bill that has no redeeming value whatsoever. My own Congressman, Bob Gibbs, was one of those who voted for this travesty of a bill. Not only did he vote to strip thousands of his own constituents of their rights to affordable healthcare, Representative Bob Gibbs celebrated at a beer party in the White House Rose Garden with his Republican colleagues, afterwards. They celebrated their success in stripping millions of people of care. Seriously? How little class can you have? It is apparent to me that my Congressman simply doesn’t care about people. I am heartened, however; by the knowledge that many people in our community do care. Some of them are with me here tonight. We care about communities, our communities. We care about our country, and we care about our world. We care about healthcare and we care enough to push back against those who would take it away from the very people who need it the most. I am also heartened to know that my City Council cares. I believe that to be true. You’re all nodding your heads. Thank you. Um...we are here to ask you to consider passing a resolution on behalf of the city of Canton, supporting the right of every American citizen to affordable healthcare. Passing a resolution will show that our community and our country, that you care. It is my hope that you will pass it without delay. Soon, the United States Senate will take up the same bill that the House passed last week. They are watching to see how citizens and communities respond to the bill put forward by the House. That’s why it’s important for our city to take note. Your resolution will be a strong message to Senators that we care and that we expect them to care as well. I am hoping that you will show that it is not impossible to have a heart at the most critical and basic levels of governance. I appreciate your attention and consideration. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. That was excellently done. Uh...our next speaker is Judy Alsip? Is that correct? I’m sorry. JUDY ALSIP: Close enough. (Laughs). Judy Alsip. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. JUDY ALSIP: You’re welcome. Thank you. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -259- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: If you would give us your name though, and your residential address, please. JUDY ALSIP: Yes. My name is Judy Alsip and my address is 4836 Vernon Ave. NW. And, I am also here to talk about the AHCA. Um, a few years ago I was sitting in a doctor’s office with my young son and I heard one of the worst things that you can hear, as a parent. I heard the word “cancer.” And...my son battled cancer bravely, a disease...um...that through, obviously no fault of his own, he had acquired. And the one thing that gave me a lot of heart and it helped me was knowing that as we sat there and dealt with chemotherapy and hair loss and all those miserable things that go along with the disease, the one that thing I didn’t think I was going to have to worry about was whether he would be abandoned by his government throughout his life, simply by something that he had as a child. Uh, but then the ACH...AHCA passed last week and he may be forced to purchase insurance in high risk pools, that are both cost...cost prohibitive and often provide little of the care that he may need going through his life. Um...a Republican Congressman, Brooks, even recently said that the AHCA allows insurance companies to charge people like my son, more, because it reduces the cost to those people who lead good lives, that are healthy, that have done things to keep their bodies healthy. This is so offensive. My young son lead a good life, leads a good life, did absolutely nothing to ask for cancer, yet the AHCA could make him pay very high rates, and maybe even so high that they’re cost prohibitive and...uh...not get insurance throughout his life. So, I...in addition, this bill was passed without any public chance to read the bill, analyze the bill, discuss the bill. At 8:00 p.m. the night before a vote, with only three hours of discussion, and it was unscored by the Congressional Budget Office. This is not transparency and this is not the way we should govern. It was lazy, it was cruel, and it’s not...it’s un-American. So, I would ask the same thing that Ms. Boatright asked, that the city of Canton stand up for human rights and the sick and all Americans ...to pass a resolution that stands up against the AHCA and says that all Americans have the right to healthcare. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. Obviously, you’re thinking of you and your family and particularly your son. Thank you very much. We do appreciate it. Our next speaker is Mary Beth Medford. Ms. Medford, good evening, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. MARY BETH MEDFORD: Yes, I’m Mary Beth Medford, 3827 Westview Avenue, Canton, Ohio. Good evening. As a citizen of Ward 8, in the city of Canton, I’m speaking tonight asking the City Council’s consideration for the resolution to support the Affordable Care Act. Today, over twenty million Americans, including thousands of citizens in Canton, Stark County, and Ohio, have Affordable Healthcare due to the ACA. Last week the Republican House of Representatives, including District 7 and 16 Representatives, Bob Gibbs and Jim Renacci, along with the support of the 45th President of the United States, voted to repeal the Amer...the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a plan called the American Health Care Act. This bill has yet to receive a CBO report and was made public less than twenty-four hours before its passage. The Committee for Responsible Budget, a non-partisan, non-profit organization reports some sobering estimations that should be...that you should be considering, as Council Members, the impact it will have upon America for the next ten years. The bill has 9...9...$983 billion dollars in spending cuts. $839 billion of those cuts are for the Medicare funding to the states. Medicaid...I’m sorry, Medicaid. Medicaid funding are subsidies to help poor Cantonians afford healthcare. In order for these citizens to afford the healthcare, states like Ohio will have to make up the difference for the funding cuts which will impact the state funding for the city of Canton. This bill also ends $663 billion in tax cut...in tax subsidies to help poor Americans, and then turns around and gives $622 billion of those...of that money in tax cuts for wealthy Americans. The Kaiser Family Foundation COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -260- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 estimates twenty-four million Americans will lose healthcare insurance under the Republican Care Plan. Fourteen million due to Medicaid cuts, seven million in employer provided insurance since the elimination of the employer mandate, and three million due to the loss of people buying insurance on the exchange. States can now opt out of mandating insurance companies from raising rates for pre-existing conditions, forcing one hundred twenty-seven million Americans, with pre-existing conditions, into high risk pools. The Center for American Progress estimates over the next ten years, $330 billion will be needed for funding these high risk pools. The GOP Plan provides $138 billion in funding, $8 billion of it for only five years. That’s a $192 billion shortfall. Premiums for pre-existing conditions, such as cancer, could increase up to...from $72,000 to $142,000 a year, congestive heart fail, over $18,000...er...failure...over $18,000, pregnancy...uh...up to $17,000, diabetes could in...if you have diabetes, could increase $5,600. And if you have a child born with autism, you’re premium could increase yearly by $5,510. There is some...excuse me...there is also change in the age range for older Americans like myself. Now, instead of charging me a three to one ratio what younger Americans pay for health sick...for healthcare, I will be charged a five to one ratio. Elected officials as Bob Gibbs and Jim Renacci turned a deaf ear on their consit...constituents, about the loss of...the life- giving...uh...savings insurance benefits from the Affordable Care Act. Now we, the citizens of Canton are asking that you, the elected officials of Canton, not make this same mistake. The citizens of Canton need the freedom and protections provided by the Affordable Care Act. We are asking that you vote in favor of the resolution to support the law of the land, declared by the United States Supreme Court, the Affordable Care Act. Thanks you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We think actually, the tax cuts are more than you indicated. I think they’re approaching a trillion dollars for tax cuts. Our next...but thank you, very much, for coming. Our next speaker, Stephanie Sweeny. STEPHANIE SWEENY: I...I can’t speak today. Sorry. I’m wearing an organizational shirt that I cant’... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. Well, you miss you. I know what you’re saying. STEPHANIE SWEENY: I’m late, sorry. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay. That’s alright. Our next speaker is Richard Manson. Mr. Manson. Good evening. As always, welcome. If you’ll give us your name, your residential address, and I don’t mean to be picky but do you mind taking your hat off, please. RICHARD MANSON: Hi. Richard Manson, 601 High Avenue. This isn’t going to be about healthcare. I know you always have a hard time hearing me, I’ll try to speak louder. Anyways...uh, I think I mentioned before...uh...there’s some new faces here in the...uh...chamber...(Laughs)...than before...but I’m going to have a cycle, as I cycle seven thousand miles a year, so I’m pretty comfortable riding bikes on the road, but uh, I was just gonna mention...um...today there was a little situation where I was coming back from a forty-six mile ride, coming back into Canton, and um...there is, uh, some police officers that were on a call, heard the siren, I looked behind me and they were getting ready to cross the double yellows to go around...in oncoming traffic, so, I was coming up to the light at Market and Tusc and I was about ready to unclip from the pedal and put my foot down and I looked back and they were right behind me, almost running me down and I had to...you know...be on the hill there, I had to grind very slowly to get off the side. So, on up the road, I...I pulled over. They were answering a call and after they were all done, I tried to very respectfully and nicely ask them did I do something wrong, is the first words I said. And, unfortunately, I know we have a lot of really good police COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -261- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 officers, I mean I’ve met a lot of them, and I like...but there were probably the most disrespectful and arrogant officers in our city that I’ve ever come across and they...uh...I tried to explain my version, they just kept talking over me and then they...they threatened to arrest me. And, uh, I just brought that up to Bruce Lawver and uh...I like Bruce, he seems to be a really nice guy. I think he’s going to handle the situation really well, but uh, I just thought I’d mention it again here cause I couldn’t think of...something else to talk about, but, unfortunately, it seems to me that he...he...Bruce told me that he talks to his officers all the time about controlling situations and not escalating situations, which they clearly did with me. They caused me to get excited and raise my voice and uh...it’s just...I...I...think it’s one of those things where any officers in any city, they need ongoing training. Just like any professional needs ongoing training to get re-certified, they need to be constantly reminded...to change behavior for anybody and make you better at what you do, you need constant reminders of how to handle the public, like in this case. Uh, and you need to be reminded throughout the year and how to handle situations, how to control your adrenaline, how to control your emotions and all those, and uh...they’re supposed to be police...most of...parts of the country they’re peace officers, right? They’re supposed to protect and serve, and uphold the laws...uh, it’s very difficult to do that if you’re escalating situations everywhere you go. (Laughs). And I just thought I’d mention that and, uh, thank you for listening to me. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Great, thank you sir, very much, for coming. (Applause). Let the Journal show that Member Fisher has arrived. Thank you for being here. Thank you Mr. Clerk, for reminding me. Our last speaker is Patricia Kirk. Ms. Kirk, as always, welcome to Canton City Council. If you’ll give us your name and your residential address, please. PATRICIA KIRK: I’ll bring it down to my level, here. (Laughs). Um, my name is Patricia Kirk. I live at 131 5th St. NE and I’m President of Downtown Central Neighborhood Association. On a little lighter note, one of the things I enjoyed were the snatches of conversations you could hear when the marathoners ran by on Market Avenue, a couple weekends ago, like, “Can you feel a heart attack coming on”? Or the woman carrying her shoes back after the race, with bandaged feet, saying “I made it, I made it.” Now that is hope. That is help. Friday, April 28th was Canton’s Arbor Day at the Garden Center and we had about one hundred fifty teams show up around 12:30, needing to be fed so they could walk back to Heritage School in the Southwest. Prizes for the photo contest were awarded at the Saxon Gallery, First Friday. Three prizes and four honorable mentions, and everyone enjoyed it. I have a question. Why can’t I find out what’s going to be done to Kresge Lot and when? My name, and Brenda’s is on the Adopt-A-Site agreement for Kresge Lot, a private landscaper that we have been paying for years, does not want to work on a park when cancel...Council can’t decide if it’s going to be or remain a park. Thank you very much. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, as always, Ms. Kirk. (Applause). I want to thank all our speakers tonight, particularly the speakers that spoke on the healthcare debacle that’s occurring before our very eyes. We appreciate you coming down. We appreciate your um...outrage and your statements to support our Constitution, and our people thank you very much. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We’re now under Informal Resolutions.

Uh, the Finance Chairman asked how much the city was going to get out of this and I want to remind everybody that these businesses are not in the city limits of Canton. And rumor has it, years ago that this may or may not have cost the Service Director at the time, his job, but I know it was a hard fight down here to get the cooperation of Jackson Township and Canton to set this type of financing up. And, it was a battle with, at the time, the current Mayor. And...I think that you’re starting to see the fruits of this finally paying off and I want to commend the Council at the time for supporting this and setting up the process. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you, Member Smuckler. Any other remarks? Hearing none, roll call vote please. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -268- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK DOUGHERTY: Twelve yeas, Mr. President. #5 ADOPTED AS ORDINANCE NO. 100/2017 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -275- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now turn to Announcement of Committee Meetings. MEMBER MARIOL: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER MARIOL: Public Property Capital Improvement and Finance will meet May 15th at 6:45. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: 6:45...

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: We now turn to Miscellaneous Business. Is there any? MEMBER MARIOL: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER MARIOL: I wanted to thank everybody who came in to speak about the repeal of the ACA. I have a Informal Resolution put together. I’ll be giving it to our Clerk to circulate for all Council Members to sign on as co-sponsors. I wanted to say, some people may know this, some people may not. My grandfather is going through cancer, battling cancer right now. He’s lucky because he has Medicare and through this healthcare debate, what we’ve heard a lot of is, making sure that decisions are between the doctor and the patient, not the government. I can tell you, because he’s been going through this...I wanna say now, for about a year and a half. Not once, not once have we ever said, “(Inaudible) a lot easier if we could just get the government out of it.” People who have Medicare, like it. And it works. It COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -276- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 works well. People who have private insurance, they don’t like it so much, so, the experience that people have with Medicare and anyone who has experienced health insurance, whether it be the privately owned or Medicate, almost always prefers Medicare. So, I think sending this message, hopefully they will listen to us, is going to be a great thing. The second thing I wanted to touch on, and unlike Leader Morris, I typically abide by the rule, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all, but I’m going to make an exception today. (Laughter). I don’t know if anybody read in the paper yesterday, “Sabur Shuts Down” was the headline. Basically, what this is, there was a business in Jackson Township, not in Canton, in Jackson Township, that went out of business. Never a good thing. Got an article to explain why they went out of business. So, to kind of give you a little back story...in the article it talks about these two owners hanging out one night, decided it would be cool to open up a restaurant, and only imagine, they must have stumbled across an easy bake oven, make a couple of cakes, and decided “Hey, I think we’ll get into the restaurant business.” It didn’t work and rather than saying, “Hey, we gave it a shot, sometimes these things don’t work, sometimes there’s personal failure, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start something else,” they went on to blame the city of Canton and the residents of the city of Canton for their personal failure. To give you just a couple examples: they said that “Canton is kind of a chain town, burger and wings.” Now keep in mind, this is in Jackson Township, the home of chain restaurants. Canton, the home of Benders, Bakers, Taggerts...restaurants that when you’re going out to dinner...Arcade Coneys...Harmon’s...when you’re going out to dinner and you want a very good meal, you typically go to the city of Canton. That’s where people go. These people don’t think so. They think that we’re going to burgers and wing places. They even went on to say that we’re “more of a Bubba’s Bar-b-que. Canton wants well done steaks, baked potatoes with their Bud Light.” You know, I can tell you this, and I ate at Sabur, so I have personal experience with this restaurant. I would eat the burnt parts off of Bubba-que’s...Bubba’s Bar-b-que, than to eat at Sabur again. They said that we’re not ready for the “farm to table” concept. We are home to Deli Ohio, who has a farm behind their restaurant and happened to open up their second location. They wanted to blame a whole city for their failures and this happens way too often. Canton becomes the whipping boy for Stark County. Canton has the finest restaurants in Stark County, and that is just a fact. I’ll put up five meals from any Canton restaurant against five meals anywhere else in Stark County. I’ll guarantee that (Inaudible) wins. And I think, and Robert, I hope you put this in here...they owe the city of Canton, and the residents of the city of Canton, a public apology, because I’d love to see them down here, apologizing to the Canton residents and the Canton businesses for the insult that they put in the paper. Thank you. (Applause). MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER MORRIS: Member Mariol, when are you going to say something mean? (Laughter). Even when you’re trying to be mean, you’re just such a nice guy. It just comes out so nice. MEMBER MARIOL: Twenty nine years of (Inaudible). MEMBER MORRIS: Yes. The proper way to say that Robert, is to tell the two jackasses to come down here and apologize and Member Mariol will take them out for a first class dinner, not made in an easy bake oven. And if they’re afraid to come into Canton after dark, I’ll drive to Jackson Township and escort ‘em. (Laughter). COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -277- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you Leader. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Mr. Law Director. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: It’s a touch act to follow. (Laughter). As you all know, our Clerk, Dave Dougherty, has instituted the “Thought of the Week”, and because I cannot sponsor or vote on Informal Resolutions, as the one that was so eloquently described and requested, I want to add a thought myself. Ms. Boatright and the others eloquently and passionately told us what went wrong with that half- baked travesty last week. Um...in the last hundred or so days, a quote from Charles Dickens has just been rolling around in my mind time and time and time again. When Dickens was asked...when Dickens was approached for some charity, when Scrooge was approached, rather, Ebenezer Scrooge replied, “If the poor want to die, let them do it, and decrease the surplus population.” I can’t tell you how many times that thought has rolled around in my head. I appreciate what you’re doing. I think between the consciousness raising groups like yours across the country and hopefully a more compassionate Senate, that will be redeemed. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. I want to just add, also, Gibbs, Bob Gibbs. He’s gone, (Applause), or he stays...or he stays because we do nothing. The only message that we can send to these people, that they listen to, is losing an election. That will send the message. And the one thing we don’t want to do, is let’s not get carried away and talk about some other place. The place is here. It’s in Canton, Ohio. It’s Gibb’s district, and it will be Renacci’s, how ever you pronounce his name. (Laughter). Renacci. It’s hard for me to get that. I think it’s Renacci...uh, but he’s going to be replaced, so there will be an open seat. So we have an opportunity in two seats. The only way we’re going to get them is if we vote and people like Ms. Wainright, are going to lead us. Because the side will go follow, you just lead. But we need as many people as we can get, and we need people to vote. It’s outrageous. (Applause). We all...we all share the same thing. But it’s outrageous what they’re doing. They’re literally going to kill people, and they...they...with a smile on their face. With a smile and drink on their face, they take healthcare away from people and they give it to their rich buddies. With a smile on their face, it makes me sick. Anything else? CLERK DOUGHERTY: Yes, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. Oh, I’m sorry. (Laughter). It’s our thought of the day, I apologize. CLERK DOUGHERTY: You okay? PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: I hope it’s a good one. CLERK DOUGHERTY: Yeah, this is what’s going around in my head. You paying attention, Member Hall? (Laughter). “When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.” Henry Kaiser, American Industrialist. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Alright, Leader. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -278- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 8, 2017 MEMBER MORRIS: Move to adjourn. MEMBER SMITH: Second.
