I can’t begin to speak as eloquently as David Baker does about the impact of that project on this community and its citizens, but I’m here because I wanted to thank the Members of Council and the Administration for the hard work over the past year, in forging ahead with trying to get to resolution, of a number of documents and issues. Um...the Administration has gone way above and beyond in meticulously trying to examine what could happen, thinking ahead. It’s actually been quite a pleasure, from my seat, to see people so engaged, and I believe that the multiple meetings have created the basis for an ongoing cooperative, great relationship, and I applaud the Administration for that. I also just wanted to thank you personally, and on behalf of my client, for all of the effort that you have put into this. Um...I see this as, you know, again, I’m privileged to be able to point to this in years to come; that I was part of it, and I just would ask for your continued support and patience.

MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President, could we have that read in its entirety, please. CLERK DOUGHERTY: An Informal Resolution Respectfully Submitted By Council-as-a-Whole on this 18th day of December, 2017. Whereas, John Gasser learned clock, watch and jewelry repair from his father in Switzerland before moving to the United States in 1923. The store, which he opened in 1937, has remained under family ownership for generations, and celebrated its 80th anniversary earlier this year; and Whereas, First known as John Gasser & Son Jewelers and currently as Gasser Fine Jewelers, it has outlasted several downtown businesses because of the exceptional customer service and commitment to the city of Canton. In 1992 Robert Gasser told the Canton Repository, “We might be able to do greater volume at Belden Village, but this is where we want to be”; and Whereas, Since the death of John Gasser’s son, Robert, and grandson, Mark, the store has been led by Robert’s wife, Lurene, along with the dedicated employees that make up the Gasser Family. Lurene Gasser, who was instrumental in running Reed Funeral Home with her brother for a number of years after the death of her father, left Reed Funeral Home to work with her husband and became President of the company upon Robert’s passing in 2007. In 2007, Harper’s Bazaar named Gassers Fine Jewelers one of the 124 best jewelry and watch retail stores in America; and Whereas, Under Lurene’s leadership, Gassers has had representatives on a number of community boards, such as Arts in Stark, Canton Players Guild, Greater Canton Chamber of Commerce, and Aultman Hospital Women’s Board. Lurene has been a special promoter of the Domestic Violence Project, Inc. of Stark Co. and the Canton Museum of Art. Gasser Fine Jewelers has donated jewelry and money to virtually every Stark County charitable organization. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we, the Members of Canton City Council, and the entire Canton community do hereby recognize and commend Lurene Gasser and Gasser Fine Jewelers for the wonderful service and customer care that you have provided us over the years. We join you in celebrating this milestone and wish you continued prosperity, good health, and much happiness. (Applause). CLERK DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. CLERK DOUGHERTY: Yes, that...that will be presented at a later date, this week, so we can move on to the next one. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. (Inaudible). Turning now to Resolution, uh, 29.

MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER SMITH: Could we have that read in its entirety, please. CLERK DOUGHERTY: An Informal Resolution Respectfully Submitted By Council-as-a-Whole on this 18th day of December, 2017. Whereas, Graduating from Lincoln High School in 1973, Councilman-at-Large Thomas L. Harmon has been a devoted civil servant for both the City of Canton and Stark County for many years; and Whereas, Tom was elected Clerk of the Canton Municipal Court in 1984 and successfully held that position until retiring in June of 2007. During his tenure in office, Tom was instrumental in automating the Clerk’s Office, as well as developing the Stark County Criminal Justice System (CJIS) where the three municipal courts, the county court, and the county jail are combined into one information system. The use of this system over the years to control jail overcrowding has saved millions in tax dollars; and Whereas, Soon after retiring, Tom returned to public service when he was appointed to the vacancy left behind by Stark County Commissioner Gayle Jackson. Tom was then elected to that position in 2008 where he successfully served until December of 2009; and Whereas, Tom’s commitment to his civic duty continued when he was elected in 2016 as Council Member-at-Large for the City of Canton. During his term on Council, Tom chaired the Environmental & Public Utilities Committee, and served on the Finance, Consolidation of Public Services, Judiciary, Rules and Downtown Development Committees. He was also appointed by Mayor Bernabei to serve on the Canton Community Improvement Corporation (CCIC) Commission; and Whereas, At all times during his tenure as a Council Member, Tom was readily available and more than happy to help his constituents as well as fellow Council Members and the Council Staff. Now Therefore Be it Resolved: that we, the Members of Canton City Council, do hereby go on record commending Councilman-at-large, COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -676- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 18, 2017 Thomas L. Harmon for his excellent service as a fellow member of Canton City Council, and honoring him for his many years of hard work and dedication to the community. Thank you. (Applause). MEMBER SMITH: Come on down, Tom! (Laughter). I especially like to thank you for all that you have done for me and I hope that, uh, you enjoy yourself. Just make sure you come back and vote for me when it’s time, and...uh...I appreciate (Laughter), and I appreciate all that you’ve done and I’m quite sure that everyone else feels the same. So, we present this to you, and you enjoy your retirement. MEMBER HARMON: Thank you. MEMBER SMITH: Yes. (Applause). MEMBER HARMON: Uh...I’m uh...a little overwhelmed. Uh, I feel like I haven’t been here for much more than a cup of coffee. Um...I...but... really, I don’t know, and upon close examination, how much I contributed, but one of the things I know, is that I tried very hard. And I..I..I...enjoyed great relationships with each and every Council Member, the Council Staff, Dave, Beth, Jill, all the elected officials, Mayor and your staff, um...department heads. It’s been a...a wonderful ride and I’m...I’m flattered here. My wife’s here tonight and my best friends. Thank you, very much. That’s all I can say. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you very much. We’re going to really miss you. I just have a feeling you’re not going to go anywhere though, that’s the thing! (Laughter).

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: And now we turn to...any remarks? CLERK DOUGHERTY: I have something... PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Mr. President. Um...many Council Members have been asking about Union Metal and I have a letter that we received as of December 14th, and I’d just like to read it to Council. (Clears throat...excuse me). “Dear Mayor Bernabei, this letter is to notify you that in the coming months, Union Metal Corporation may permanently lay off approximately 339 employees, located at it’s 1432 Maple Ave. NE, Canton, Ohio 44705 location. And it is anticipated that the entire plant ultimately will be closed sometime during 2018. Separations began on December 11, 2017, and are expected to continue through the upcoming weeks. The anticipated schedule for such separations is that approximately 25 employees will be separated per week for the next 4 to 8 weeks. Attached as Exhibit A, please find a list of the job titles of positions to be affected and the number of affected employees in each classification. (Clears throat...excuse me). Bumping rights exist for bargaining unit employees, but do not for non-bargaining unit employees. The union representing the affected bargaining unit employees is the USW9094, whose President is Tim Lynn. If you have any questions or require additional information about the above, please contact me.” This was delivered by Guy Pietra, Vice President of Operations and Human Resources. Uh, our staff met with Union COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -694- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 18, 2017 Metal today. Uh, we are trying to work with them. We also talked to our partners at the State, Team (Inaudible) and Jobs Ohio, to try to see what we can do, within our power, to...to save these jobs. We’ll absolutely keep Council informed of what transpires. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. Well, that’s sad news, but, we...we’ve had sad news before and we’ve overcome it. I think we’ve done our best and obviously the people in our community will do their best. Any uh, other remarks? MEMBER MARIOL: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER MARIOL: I just wanted to comment, uh, it’s been a great pleasure, getting to work next to...uh, Member Harmon. And it didn’t take long to find out why he’s been in public service for so long. And I’ve learned a lot from you over the past two years and I have enjoyed it. And I’ll look back and I’ll enjoy the time I had working with you. Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Thank you. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Thank you Mr. President. A couple of notes, first of all, I want to echo Atty. MacDougall and thank all of you on Council for recognizing the extremely hard work and dedication that went into negotiating some very difficult agreements by the Administration, the Mayor’s cabinet, his department heads did a fine job, and all the others involved, thank you. Uh, secondly, I wanted to congratulate all of the Members of this Council for completing a new term. Uh, soon to be like the Phoenix, dissolving and coming up out of the ashes again, with one new Member, and I congratulate all of you and Corey Minor Smith on the next term. But, I want to conclude by saying to Member Harmon, thank you. You were a role model in terms of working with our office, in terms of due diligence. As an example, Member Harmon brought to bear, his private and public experience in, in one instance I can think of immediately, and that’s bringing us into a state-of-the-art Parking Ordinance. Um, he brought to bear all sorts of great information from other areas, from his experience as Clerk of Courts and uh, was very patient, very diligent in working with us, very thoroughly in achieving a very helpful, to this city, state-of-the-art ordinance. But he was typical of our experiences with you as partner, where you were extremely courteous and diligent and I’ll miss working with you. I wish you the best in this next chapter of life, as you conclude this most recent chapter of life. To you and your lovely wife, and your family, and uh, your friends that are your support group, happy holidays! And as Charles Dickens’ Tiny Tim observed, God bless us, everyone! (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. Um...Tom Harmon has a problem with Rule 22A. For those of you that don’t know, I’ve sat here now for two years and listened to him complain to me, what does Rule 22A mean? Now, I’ve sort of ignored him because...(Laughter)...there’s a reason I’ve ignored him. Because when Tom and I talk, based on his hearing, it’s usually very loudly. And based on that, several months ago Tom sat COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -695- MINUTES OF THE MEETING DECEMBER 18, 2017 here and said to me, “Uh, we’re passing a Resolution tonight, commending a hearing specialist”, and I said, “Do you know him?” He says, “Yeah, that’s my hearing doctor.” And I said, “I think I’m going to regret this vote.” I did pass that Resolution with Tom and the one thing you can always count on from Tom is his friendship. As most of you know, I’ve had a very trying year and it doesn’t matter whether I’ve been at home, in the hospital, or here, or any other year, Tom has always been there for me. And I think that can be said for everyone around the circle, here. Um, I can never express my gratitude for the amount of times where I’ve got the opportunity to call Tom and say, “help”, and God, he’s always been there. I hope some of you have had that pleasure and I’m always looking forward to another opportunity with Tom because we’ve already made plans for this summer to take in, what him and I are very fond of...uh...baseball in New York. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Tom, you are a stud! (Laughter). You are amazing. You do everything. You help everybody. You have helped the whole community, uh, in remarkable ways, so we are really going to miss you. I’m going to miss you because I like seeing that face, but I’m sure we’ll see each other soon. But you have been spectacular and we can’t thank you and your bride enough, for all the things you’ve done for this community. And I mean all the things, not just here. You’ve done just a remarkable job. So proud and thank you again. Anyone else? Yes. MAYOR BERNABEI: And uh, to Tom, who was a very, very close friend. We keep following around each, or following each other, like in circle at different times, to dear Carlene, his wonderful wife, we wish you well, and uh, make this your final decision, not to re-enter public life. (Laughter). And thank you so very much for the opp...on my behalf, but also on behalf of the entire cabinet, uh, for your excellence at the City Council. Thank you. MEMBER HARMON: Thank you. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Okay, anything else? CLERK DOUGHERTY: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SCHULMAN: Yes. CLERK DOUGHERTY: I too want to thank Tom for all your hard work and dedication and always your support for the staff. We really appreciate that. QUOTE FOR THE WEEK CLERK DOUGHERTY: And I have a...if you need some Christmas gift suggestions, I have them here for you. From Author, Oren Arnold, who says, “Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” Merry Christmas. (Applause). MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President, Merry Christmas to all, and the meeting is adjourned. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second.
