OLD BUSINESS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: We are now under Old Business. Is there any Old Business?
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: We are now under Public Speaks. We have two speakers tonight for this
evening. Once you come to the mic, please state your name and your residential address. Mr. Pete
DiGiacomo.
PETE DIGIACOMO: (Coughing). Excuse me. My name’s Pete DiGiacomo. I live at 600 Dent Pl. SW,
Canton, Ohio. There’s a couple things I wanted to touch one. Councilman Morris mentioned about the
uh...incident over in Pittsburgh. I can be wrong, sometimes I am, lot of times I am. Sometimes I’m right.
We’ve got a President that about two or three months ago, and even before that, all he wants to do is spew
out racist types of remarks. It’s okay for the White Nationalists to do this, do that. That all leads up to
something that’s happening now. There was a black man with his wife...black wife...I’m not sure what state
it was in. White man goes in with a rifle, on his way in, what was reported on the news, he walked by a
white man, says “whites don’t kill whites.” He went in, he shot and killed the husband and wife together.
White Nationalists. I’m 74 years old and I’ve got a grandson and a granddaughter that go to different events
and I’m scared as hell that it can happen to them up here. You can’t say it can’t because it can. And it’s
happening more and more and more. And the public’s not doing nothing about it. I...I don’t have an answer
for it. I sure as hell don’t want to see...you know...well, we gotta have armed guards or everything like that,
and...everywhere you look. Now you’re in like a Communist state. But, uh, either the laws gotta get tougher
or instead of capturing these people, wounding ‘em, you shoot ‘em, period. And, uh...we had the uh...
moment of silence for the Jewish people at the uh...Synagogue, I think we should also, at some point in time,
just have a moment of silence for everybody that’s been losing their lives to senseless people...I don’t care if
they uh, they had enough sense to get a rifle and kill somebody, so don’t...I don’t want to hear this, “they’re
mentally disturbed.” They’re disturbed alright, but it’s not...they know what they’re doing. Thank you.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Thank you, Mr. DiGiacomo. (Applause). Our next speaker is Ms. Roberta
Covington.
ROBERTA COVINGTON: Roberta Covington. 1941 E. Tuscarawas St. Canton. I want to commend uh...
the city of Canton on the jumpstart and that other 1000, whatever that was, 100 kilowatts, whatever that was.
(Laughs). That computer stuff. Uh, I was really impressed and...on the progressive...uh...actions
that...uh...they are taking downtown to help people want to be here, in the city of Canton and work. I also
want to commend Canton on...I drove, um...Mercy Hospital, the whole way through Canton, down to the
little turn-about, then I went toward my house. But anyway...uh..beautiful, just beautiful. And I can’t til
someday, East Tusc will look like that. Uh, many people are talking about it, how gorgeous it looks, the
sidewalks are wonderful, the lights are wonderful, it looks healthy and ...a happening place. I also though,
I’m waiting for positive comments on 3rd St. SE bridge, which my Councilperson said there’s something
coming up. So, I’ll be glad to hear what happens there on the 3rd St. SE bridge, where children from all
towns...all over town go to the geek school, now Hartford has arrived and I don’t want anything, including
that bridge, to stop the positivity that’s coming to our neighborhood. But, there is one sad thing I have to say.
On...up the street from my house, I don’t know the address, uh...right behind the drive-thru, was a big old
building owned by Coons, the guy that saves all the architecturally... Well, I used to always call the
Preservation Society and try to keep these older homes and buildings in-tact. Well, I thought it was safe with
him. My mailman says, “We missed another one.” The house is down. I don’t know whose it was, but
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 106 JOURNAL PAGE -559-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 29, 2018
someway, I want to know how can I help or all of us help, to preserve some of the buildings in Canton. What
do I do? How do I do it? Was it...to me there should have been a public announcement so maybe we could
have gathered together and saved that building. It’s gone. It’s gone. So, my questions is...what can we do?
How can I help save another building? Cause I...I appreciate older building and historically, we should be
trying to save some. That’s my question for tonight.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Okay, I’ll be glad to talk to you after the meeting.
ROBERTA COVINGTON: Okay, thank you.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: You’re welcome. That concludes our Public Speaks.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: We are now under Miscellaneous Business. Is there any
Miscellaneous Business?
MEMBER MORRIS: Madam President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes.
MEMBER MORRIS: Real quick comments. Service Director. Myself and Member Mariol beg, steal,
and borrowed, fought, cried, whimpered to get 30th Street repaved. One of my constituents put in my lap,
and I shared them with uh...Member Ferguson and Member Mariol, cracks in 30th Street, big enough to
get my fingers in ‘em. I will share these photographs with you and I would like you to get with Engineer
Moeglin and find out why this is occurring. This street cost us $1,000,000.00 roughly? 30th?
(Inaudible). Well, it’s still real money. Even though it was the State’s money, it was still real money.
So...and I pray to God this doesn’t happen on 19th Street. So, if you could look into this, I would
appreciate it, and under Old Business, report back so Mr. Preston can hear your response. Thank you.
SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHMAN: (Inaudible), Leader.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes, I’m sorry.
SERVICE DIRECTOR HIGHMAN: Um, just...just for a little update on this one...we passed the
crack/seal informal resolution a couple of weeks ago and I can confirm that 30th Street is on the back seal
list that should be starting either this week or next. Regarding the size and scope of the cracks, I will
follow up with the engineers about that. I do know when I was asked the same question a few...maybe a
couple months ago, I did have them to allow me to report that it was normal cracking for that type of
pavement, but I will follow up and have him look at those specific areas to report back next week, sir.
MEMBER MORRIS: Madam President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes.
MEMBER MORRIS: If I may. Yeah, uh, normal crack and going across two lanes that you can fit your
fingers in...I don’t...I don’t do asphalt work, but I’ll tell you what, if that was my driveway, I wouldn’t by
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 106 JOURNAL PAGE -572-
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OCTOBER 29, 2018
that. And, approximately, three...er...uh...a million dollars of tax payer dollars, that just looks like
shoddy work.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Is there anyone else?
MEMBER SMUCKLER: Ms...Madam President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Yes.
MEMBER SMUCKLER: I can be loud, I can be quiet, but the time’s come I can’t be quiet anymore.
During the 1960's, I got interested in politics watching...
(PHONE RINGS)
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Thank you.
MEMBER SMUCKLER: Watching Bobby Kennedy get shot, watching Martin Luther King, Jr. get shot,
watching two people from my faith go to Mississippi and the clan attacked them and killed them when
they were trying to register people to vote. Since the Holocaust, my community’s aware that, if they
come for someone, sooner or later they come for you. A few weeks ago someone asked me, “Are you
offended by the religion of the prayer here on Monday nights, depending on whenever anybody does”?
And my answer was, “No, because I have a great deal of respect for a lot of religions in this room, and I
have a great deal of respect for the people that are giving them”. John Mariol called me today and
reminded me of a 97 year old lady who went through the Holocaust and was shot and killed in her own
holocaust again. Tomorrow I have some good news of an oldest daughter that’s going to have my first
grandchild, but the bad news is, I have to sit and worry about my three girls wherever they’re at, because
of what may befell them, because of their religious freedom. It is time for people to have respect for
each other. It is time for people to care about each other. We recognized this during the holidays and
during Christmas it’s real easy, and Hanukkah and...to wrap around...your arms around another person
and say, “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,” but it seems like the rest of the year we forget about each
other. We’ve got to change this world. And the revolution that we thought happened ten years ago with
the Obama Presidency and being...being a little more tolerant of each other, has seemed all gone by the
wayside. To the school that have been shot, to the students that have been shot, to the people in
Pittsburgh that have been shot. Holiday time is approaching and we’ll all be a lot more tolerant for a few
months, but as a Jewish member of this Council, that sat here for here for thirty years, I’m just blown
away by what’s going on in the world. Seventy-five hundred people marching north for some type of
freedom from Honduras. People dying in Africa and all these countries everyday. Everybody’s got a
right to be scared and everybody has a right to be scared about your kids or your grandkids because folks,
what we learned this last weekend, if it can happen there, it can happen here.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMITH: Is there anyone else? Uh, at this time, Mr. DiGiacomo, I’m gonna
head to what you said. I would like for us to take a moment of silence, not just for our city, but for our
nation. And especially for the young people. On tomorrow, one of our city workers will be burying her
nephew, which is 20 years old, and Mr. Ed Daniels, over at the Property Tax Department, for his 20 year
old son, and Chav Ellis’ nephew. A young man that, uh, was very dear to (Inaudible). So in this
moment of silence, let’s keep them in prayer also.

PUBLIC SPEAKS (CITY BUSINESS): Pete DiGiacom o is concerned with incidents such as the recent shooting in Pittsburgh,
and believes it’s because of the President always spewing out racist rem arks. He is scared for his grandchildren to attend
certain events, and feels that either laws need to be tougher or these violent individuals need to be shot. He suggested a
m om ent of silence for everyone who has lost their lives to senseless violence. Roberta Covington com m ended Council on their
actions to bring m ore com puter technology to Canton and on the im provem ents along Mercy Drive. She is awaiting positive
com m ents regarding the 3 rd Street SE Bridge. She m entioned an old historic building that was recently dem olished, and asked

Engineering and Street Presentation
(Crack and Seal)
M ISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: Mem ber Morris stated that since the recent paving of 30 th Street, which cost about a m illion
dollars, there are now cracks across both lanes big enough to put your finger into. He asked the Service Director to report back
under Old Business. Service Director Highm an indicated that 30 th Street has been put on the crack and seal list and should be
com pleted by next week. He will follow up with Engineering and report back. Mem ber Sm uckler spoke about the history of
violent acts, such as the 60's shootings and the Holocaust. He stated that his first grandchild will be arriving soon, however he
worries about his three daughters because of what’s happening to their religious freedom s. He believes it is tim e for people to
respect and care about one another, and not just during the holidays. He said that everyone has a right to be afraid, for
them selves, for their children and for their grandchildren because if it can happen in other countries, it can happen here.
President Pro Tem Sm ith asked for a m om ent of silence for our nation, our young people, and for em ployees of the City who
have recently lost young fam ily m em bers.
