DEPUTY MAYOR WILLIAMS: Mr. President, Members of Council. At that January 7th meeting, uh, Mr. DiGiacomo inquired about uh...uh...shooting activity, uh...in reference to New Year’s Eve. Um, Captain Gabbard gave us a report. There were twenty-two calls city-wide from Shotsfired and approximately thirty calls from Shotspotter activation, for a total of fifty-two calls. It was one gentleman that was arrested for a reckless violation. Thank you. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Public Speaks. We have thee...three speakers tonight. Our first speaker is Sharan Paul. Will you please step forward and give us your name and your residential address, please. SHARAN PAUL: Sharan Paul, 720 Broad Avenue, NW. I am here tonight to introduce Holding Hands Hotline, which will provide 24-hour advocacy for victims of violent crime in Stark County. We will answer at anytime, to help victims prioritize their needs, after...offer practical solutions for personal or property safety and give referrals to resources that can help and information about victim rights. Holding Hands Hotline is licensed by the Ohio Secretary of State, registered with the Ohio Attorney General, and in process with the IRS, to establish tax exempt status as a 501.(3)(c) corporation. (Ms. Paul should have said 501(c)(3)). Operating as a volunteer organization, we have completed victim advocacy training through the Ohio Department of Justice and will take continuing education with other victim advocates in Ohio. The last time I was here, I named the people who did not help me. Tonight, I’m here to thank the ones who did help. My deepest appreciation to my daughter Rachel and Jessica Friedman who are the heartbeat and my partners in this project. Jennifer Dave, the Director of Victim Witness Division at Stark County Prosecutor’s Office, the Canton Repository, WHBC, Chris Beadle at Beadle Hut and Chris DiGangi at Knight Stalker Promotions, have all given advice, support and help in getting the word out. Special thanks to Councilman Scaglione, Mr. Morris, who isn’t here, and Mr. Hawk for helping also, to spread the word. I want to thank in advance, Busy Beaver Hardware at Myers Lake for hosting our first two-day Awareness Campaign on January 19th and 20th. You’re all invited to come. Tomorrow, Holding Hands Hotline will begin official operation in Stark County, and my message to all crime vic...victims of violent crime in Stark County is clear, call anytime, day or night. I am Rachel’s mother and I will help you. Thank you. (Applause). COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -16- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JANUARY 14, 2019 PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. Our next speaker will be Roberta Covington. Will you please, uh...step forward and give us your name and your residential address, please. ROBERTA COVINGTON: Roberta Covington, 1941 E. Tusc...Tuscarawas St. I’ve come to uh, discuss the 3rd St. SE Bridge. After a discouraging conversation at the last year’s last Council meeting, I called the Engineer’s office and the Park Department to see if there had been a change in the cost for repairing or replacing the 3rd St. SE Bridge. The Park Department did not respond to me so I could understand what his comment at a previous meeting meant. “The Park must have a return on investment made to the Park.” I still to this date, don’t know exactly what that means and I would like to know. I then called Cory Jones, who politely answered my phone...er...answered his phone and he spent quite a bit of time helping me understand this whole process that started five to six years ago. Uh, $450.00 was allotted five to six years...$450,000.00, correction (Laughs)...was allotted five or six years ago when it became aware that there needed to be repairs on the 3rd St. SE Bridge. He talked to me about the gas company’s need...needs of repairs; about the city’s costs would be high. Uh, he al... he also explained that Mrs. Penn’s driveway, which I never quite understood, there was a lot of focus on Mrs. Penn’s driveway, which is right there beside the bridge. Uh, he said that it would not cost the city anymore money because her driveway would come off of Warner Rd. because grass would be planted at the entrance to...right by her house there, if they choose not to repair the bridge and make it a pedestrian/bicycle only, path. He also said that the bridge may be taken down and come back to later, I’m not sure exactly what that means either. Didn’t mention a pedestrian or bicycle access. I’m hoping, at the very least, that will be guaranteed, but he didn’t mention it. DH Kaiser & Conley Companies both use the 3rd St. SE Bridge for their companies. Our community has expressed themselves stating that they do not want to lose the vehicular traffic across 3rd St. SE Bridge for the safety of the children, pedestrians and business in the area and access to Martin School, Hartford School, which is the geek school which everybody goes to now and DeHoff Memorial Library. Also, according to WHBC, $2,700,000.00 have been allocated to Gambrinus Bridge. And we know $5,000,000.00 has been approved to the Kresge’s Lot, downtown. We are able to pay off our loans earlier so there is monies available to Council, as Council was presented. Therefore, the city of Canton should give hope to the residents and businesses and not destruction by referring back to the bridge after its demise. Uh, Lee’s Park improvements have been non- exis... PRESIDENT SHERER...Would you please bring your remarks to a close, please. ROBERTA COVINGTON: Okay...uh...well, I’m just asking...please save the bridge. The people have expressed theirself. Uh... you can...uh...make a positive beginning to 2019. And I’ll end with a quote from Chip Gaines, of the Fixer Upper Program. “If you go cheap, you might regret it later.” Please start 2019 with a positive...positive action for the city of Canton. Save 3rd St. S. Bridge...SE Bridge. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Our last speaker tonight is Renee Pilone. Will you please step forward and give us your name and your residential address, please. RENEE PILONE: My name is Renee Pilone and I own 1224 19th St. NE. I appreciate the opportunity today to speak about Airbnb. As passed in June, limited lodging is only permitted as a conditional use in R4 zones, and not permitted at all in R1 through R3. The definition also prohibits advertising rental property on the internet. So, empty nesters who want to rent their spare bedroom to a nursing student...outlawed. A couple COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -17- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JANUARY 14, 2019 that moves to Florida for the winter and wants to rent their house out...not allowed. A family with an in-law suite who wants to make some extra income during Hall of Fame Weekend...illegal. Or me, someone who owns a home and wants to rent it out on a short-term basis, when I’m not here...prohibited. This zoning change did nothing to help the city’s problem with negligent landlords and instead, is hurting individual, tax paying homeowners. Allowing Airbnb’s through a conditional use permit process could change all of that. The vast majority of homes in my neighborhood are already rental properties. Instead of large-scale, commercial landlords that allow properties to fall into disrepair, all while profiting on vulnerable tenants, why not allow for the possibility of individual homeowners to rent out attractive and well-maintained properties, to short-term guests? I understand that short-term rentals might not be right for every neighborhood. Conveniently, the conditional use permit process in this city involves a public hearing and any neighbors opposed to an individual property, could speak out against the permit. Individual homeowners would pay the rental property registration fee, get their home inspected so that it’s safe for guests and have a use permit for the short-term rental. Why not allow each neighborhood to have a say in what happens to the future of their homes? Why not allow responsible homeowners to rent out their homes, using Airbnb? The issues surrounding short-term rentals are easy to address and can be handled with proper regulation, not prohibition of Airbnb’s. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you.
