PUBLIC HEARINGS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We’re now under Public Hearings, and we have none.
OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We are now under Old Business. We have no Old Business.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: We are now under Public Speaks, and we have four speakers this evening.
As your name is called and you approach the podium, would you please give us your name and your physical
address for the record, please. First speaker is Pat Varn. Good evening.
PAT VARN: Good evening. Thank you for allowing me to speak. My name is Patricia Varn and I live in
Montabella Estates in Canton, and I have served on the Montabella Board of Directors for the past three years.
Over the last two years our one hundred and fifteen residents have been working with Canton City Council
and Law Director to prevent the install of a Verizon cell tower by TowerCo on First Friends’ parking lot
adjacent to our wetlands. After several meetings and court appeals to reverse the cell tower install, with a
stroke of Dan Moeglin’s pen it appears we will have this monstrosity veering its ugly head reducing the
beautiful view that our homes had as well as reducing our property value by up to twenty percent. This is why
I am here, begging Canton City Council to use its powerful influence to convince Verizon to co-locate their
cell service with AT&T on the water tower across from First Friends Church. Uh, what a coincidence on
Monday, I received a publication about strengthening Stark County, and at the request of the Stark County
Civic Group, their mission was to improve the quality of life for our residents. The Stark Community
Foundation believes there are three essential ingredients to a healthy vibrant community, economic
development, education and strong neighborhoods. Montabella Estates has recently built seven new two
hundred thousand plus homes in Canton. Its diverse residents include doctors, nurses, firefighters, EMT’s,
teachers, pharmacists, police, business owners and retirees. It is our concern that the install of the cell tower
will hurt our property values, make it more difficult to sell our home and to compete against other similar
homes that don’t have a cell tower in their neighborhood. These homes generate an average of four thousand
dollars in annual taxes, therefore if the cell tower reduces property value, the City stands to lose twenty
percent of its taxes, which will hurt schools, city services, streets and roads. There is no proof that Verizon
customers are losing service. In fact, many of our residents have Verizon cell service and are not having any
dropped calls. Therefore, we are... uh, we are not restricting their ability to provide customers with good
service. We encourage Verizon to co-locate with AT&T on the water tower instead of building this ugly cell
tower in our residential area. All towers spoil the view of beautiful trees, homes and flowers, and we wish
that Canton City Council will do everything within their power to help us stop the install of this ugly tower.
Thank you.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you. (Applause) Our next speaker is Ms. Brenda Baylor.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -613-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 2017
BRENDA BAYLOR: I am Brenda Baylor. I live at 2722 Wood Owl Street NE, and I am here again about
Republic Steel. Um, we have not received any information other than the fact that we know that there has
been some lead testing and that there’s probably... and the health testing, about eight thousand people who live
around Republic Steel. Um, to my knowledge the only people that received those two pieces of information
were myself and Mr. Zachary. I am sure that the other eight thousand people or so assume that this has been
dropped, that nothing is going on, because I don’t know who they are dependent on to get them this
information. It certainly cannot be me. I tried that once and I... it was amazing how many places I had to go
and still could not get the information out even though I had some assistance. We are now, I asked, told that
we cannot get the EPA here. Um, they’re job is I think environmental protection, and I’m not sure what good
they are doing us. I don’t see anything that they have done. They refuse to come. Um, I take it that they have
been called. So right now it is a mess. My concern is, is that I think that people think that this has been
dropped. These eight thousand people who don’t show up at City Council, probably because they think
there’s no reason for them to show up because it’s another one of those things that’s just dropped. Okay, that
nobody cares, and that is not true. So I am here to speak on behalf of these eight thousand people to say that
we are going to continue to call. We are gonna call the EPA. We’re gonna see what we can do to get them
here because Mr. Adams... the only way that we get information is to either ask him or I... we were told you
can get on line. So, I don’t know that people know that because there’s never been a meeting that says you
can do this or what’s happening. We don’t even know as a community what is happening, and I think that’s
horrible. We should know. And I don’t think that it’s necessary that if we can’t get the EPA here that we
can’t have a meeting of some sort so that people can be informed. You can’t get people up and running when
they assume that everything’s like it always is, oh, they’re not gonna do anything, because as far as Republic
Steel’s concerned they’ve been doing this for a lot of years, and I don’t think that they’re gonna stop simply
because, you know, they received fines or whatever it is, because that certainly has not shut them down, even
when OSHA said they owed an arm and five legs. So, I would like to get participation. If anybody can help
by getting the EPA here or whatever it is we need to do so that we can have a meeting so that we know what
we need to do. Thank you very much. (Applause)
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you. Our next speaker, Mr. Don Johnson.
DON JOHNSON: My name is Don Johnson. I reside at 2366 Georgetown Road NE, and I’m here to represent
the group, The Affairs of the Community, which is different from Georgetown Review Group. We have been
here before about the smoke stacks and the smoke, whatever it is, that’s coming out of the stacks at Republic
Steel. About two weeks ago my neighbor was out cleaning his car, and he had all this white stuff on... on the
top of his car, all over his car, him and his wife’s car. You could take your finger and rub across it. We don’t
know what it is, but we know it comes from Republic Steel. It couldn’t come from anyplace else. And we
want to get to the bottom of this. You know, we been going down this rabbit trail for years. I talked to
(inaudible) Phillips, who’s been in that house that she’s in since 1962. And she said we’ve been beating down
this horse for all these years, and we’re still beating it down, and we need to get to the bottom of this. What’s
coming out of those stacks at Republic Steel? Whatever it is it’s not good. Now, they said it’s not a serious
health hazard, but there’s something coming out of those stacks, and it’s getting all on our homes, our... our
cars. We got a school building full of children, you know, on Belden Avenue. The wind is blowing that stuff
towards the school. We got churches in that community. And we need to get to the bottom of this, whatever
it takes. Now, if... if it takes for our group to get together, we have to go to Columbus, we may have to do
that. But I hope not... not that we have to do that. I’d like to see City... City Council take care of that for us.
Thank you.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 2017
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you. (Applause) Our next speaker, Mr. John Alge.
JOHN ALGE: Good evening. Um, I’ll be brief tonight. Uh, I just want to personally thank Councilman
Mariol for all that he has done and what he continues to do in Ward 7, which is my ward.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: John.
JOHN ALGE: Yes.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Need your name and your address for the record.
JOHN ALGE: Oh, I’m sorry. Sorry for... sorry there, President Morris, I messed up. Uh, John Alge. My
residence is 1600 27th Street NW in Canton in Ward 7. So once again, I thank Councilman Mariol for his
continued efforts to help our ward. Um, and of course we all know what he has done as chair of the Finance
Committee, as one of the strong supporters of the Hall of Fame Village Project and also the Comprehensive
Plan. Um, but one thing since I’ve known John the last five years, and we... we’ve had dialogues over this, is
Lehman School and what can we do about it. And well, last Thur... last Tuesday we have a start on what
could be done about Lehman School. Um, I’ll reserve my feelings, comments toward that in future public
speaks, but what I will say is the presentation was very positive in my view. I would like to have some more
information on that. Um, with that being said, thank you, Councilman, for being my councilman and being
my friend, and also a shout out to Councilman Hawk as well because Ward 1 happens to be nearby and I know
he’s... Greg’s been very influential in helping John in this process, so... And basically I thank all of you for
your hard work. Alright, and I apology... apologize for the mixup, it won’t happen again. Thank you.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, John. (Applause) Okay, that concludes Public Speaks.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay. We’re now under Miscellaneous Business.
MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Smuckler.
MEMBER SMUCKLER: Um, first I’d like to say, and for those of you that don’t know, there was a
senseless act of murder in Stark County again. Um, this time we’ll probably make national news. Uh, a
doctor was killed outside Affinity, who I happen to know, gave me a second opinion, and it’s posted on
the Rep.com right now, and he went into two hour surgery and they couldn’t save him and he was shot
and killed by a fifty year old individual who then turned the gun on himself and shot himself. The
senseless killings that are going on in this country seem to be getting worse and not any better. And to
me there isn’t anything that drastic that has to come down to a gun. But I would also like to indulge you
in a moment of thanksgiving. And I look at the world a lot differently now. June, prostate cancer, July,
kidney stones, and three weeks ago today, quadruple bi-pass surgery. I challenge this Council to go look
at what Jason Scaglione seen and what’s being done at Aultman Hospital and what’s being done at Mercy
Medical Center. I was in awe of the twenty, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-
six, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty year olds. There are young people in this community that are
working very hard. They have a lot of respect, they have a lot of dignity, and we all ought to be damn
thankful that they’re there for us. I challenge this Council, and this is coming from someone who did not
support the Master Plan, but I challenge this Council that we have to find funding for Aultman, for
Mercy, for the other corridors that were laid out to us. These are jobs, folks. And they’re thankless jobs.
But I give a lot of thanks for each and every one that stayed with me for that whole period of time,
including my wife who’s sitting in the audience tonight, who’s put up with a threshhold of a lot of
problems over the last year. I thank you all for listening, and I challenge you to help me find the funding
to make this Master Plan work. Thank you.
MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Smith.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 2017
MEMBER SMITH: I would also like for us to keep Nate Chester’s family in prayer. That was his cousin
that was a senseless killing also last week, and they’re gonna funeralize him on Wednesday, calling
hours, and I think Thursday’s the funeral.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Anyone else?
CLERK DOUGHERTY: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Clerk.
QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
CLERK DOUGHERTY: Veteran’s Day was Saturday, so thought I’d have a quote for our soldiers by
General George S. Patton who says, “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we
should thank God that such men lived.” Thank you.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Leader.

OLD BUSINESS (PUBLIC SPEAKS): None
PUBLIC SPEAKS (CITY BUSINESS): Pat Varn, who serves on the Montabella Board of Directors, spoke about the installation
of the Verizon tower on First Friends Church parking lot, adjacent to their wetlands. The tower will reduce their beautiful view,
along with their property value by up to 20%. She’s asked Council to use their influence to convince Verizon to co-locate their
cell service with AT&T, on the water tower across from the church. Brenda Baylor spoke about the issues that the surrounding
neighbors have been having with Republic Steel. Most people assum e that this issue has been dropped and that no one cares
because they’re not getting any response from Council and the Adm inistration. The only people who have received any
inform ation are her and Mr. Zachary. She would like a m eeting to be held to get the inform ation out to all 8000 people who are
affected. Don Johnson, who is with the Affairs of the Com m unity, wanted to know what’s com ing from the sm okestacks at
Republic Steel. He said there’s been a white substance covering the resident’s cars and hom es in the Georgeview Estates
com m unity. The substance is also blowing towards the school and the children are breathing it in. He said the residents are
considering taking a trip to Colum bus with their com plaints about Republic Steel, but would rather get results here, from
Council and Adm inistration. John Alge thanked Mem bers Mariol and Hawk for their work with the form er Lehm an School
building. Although there was a presentation given about plans for the building that was very positive, he would like to receive
som e additional inform ation.

M ISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: Mem ber Sm uckler spoke about the m urder/suicide that occurred at Affinity Hospital in
Massillon, which m ade national news. The doctor who was shot in the parking lot had given him a second opinion on his
health issue. The doctor died in surgery, and the shooter killed him self. He com m ended Aultm an Hospital and Mercy Medical
Center and all of the young people working at those hospitals for their great work and said that although he was initially
against the Com prehensive Plan, he is now challenging all Council Mem bers to help find m oney to support the Plan. Mem ber
Sm uckler thanked everyone who stuck by him during his tim e of illness, and gave a special thanks to his wife, Randi, who was
in the audience. Mem ber Sm ith asked everyone to rem em ber Mem ber Chester’s fam ily in prayer. There was a shooting
incident last week in which he lost a fam ily m em ber.
QUOTE OF THE W EEK: “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men
lived.” General George S. Patton
