Could you kinda give me a recap of where our $225,000.00 of tax payer money is going on this one? PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Madam President, Member Morris, the budget is laid out as follows. Uh, $3,000.00 for lease utilities and supplies. Office staff salaries, approximately $133,000.00. Costs for events that will include salaries, $14,000.00. Annual marketing, $35,000.00. Uh, inclusive entrepeneurship, $56,000.00. Uh, the pitch competition prize money, $5,000.00. Impact program graduation awards, $20,000.00. MEMBER MORRIS: Madam President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes. MEMBER MORRIS: Who... who’s hiring these people? That would not be us, right? These... we’re just writing a grant, I would assume. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: So, the JumpStart organization will hire the individual who will serve as what we call a community manager, who will be... who’ll have the responsibilities of running the Innovation District. Uh, as we pointed out before, there is a multitude of community partners involved in the funding of this particular project. MEMBER MORRIS: Madam President... COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 106 JOURNAL PAGE -523- MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 1, 2018 PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes. MEMBER MORRIS: ...if I may. Now, when you say community partners, it’s my understanding that we had a developer that was interested in the Renkert Building, which actually falls into this District. Am... is... that’s correct, isn’t it? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Madam President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Yes, the Renkert Building is within the District, that’s correct. MEMBER MORRIS: Okay. So it’s my understanding that Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce purchased the Renkert Building because a developer wanted to purchase that and turn it into housing, low to moderate income housing. Is that... is that a fair assessment? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Madam President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes. DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: That is incorrect. The Chamber, through the downtown Canton Land Bank, has purchased a multitude or buildings in our downtown area so that they can be repurposed to spruce up our downtown. Uh, just like the presentation that they gave a couple of weeks ago to this Council, it was a mere 12 to 15 years ago where just about our entire downtown was boarded up. So, the Chamber, through the downtown Canton Land Bank, has had a pretty successful history of buying dilapidated buildings and repurposing them in a... in a proper fashion. MEMBER MORRIS: So that’s a false statement that a developer was looking at that building? DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: There was a developer that did look at the building to do market rate housing. MEMBER MORRIS: Thank you, Madam President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Are there any more remarks on Ordinance #17? Hearing none, roll call vote please.
