OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Old Business and there is no Old Business for this evening. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Public Speaks and we have eleven speakers for tonight. Now we...I want to remind everybody, we do have a lot of speakers tonight, I just want to remind everybody to try to keep it to three minutes, if you could, please. So, our first speaker tonight would be Vince Watts. Vince, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. VINCE WATTS: Good evening, my name is Vince Watts. My address is 148 Linwood Ave. NW. I arive here today to ask Council to reconsider its plan to spend $12,000,000.00 on the downtown monument. There are 30,500 households in Canton with roughly a third a them living below the poverty line. That’s over 22,000 residents in poverty and we’re planning to spend over $12,000,000.00 on one city block, that will not create a single job past its construction, for residents of the city. Not one. Collectively, the 32 owners of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, have a net worth of over $75,000,000,000.00 and could pay for this project, in full, before any of us have our next cup of coffee tomorrow morning. This would make a lovely place to eat lunch, and I’m sure it would make an impressive view from the Chamber of Commerce, but I think I speak for most of your constituents when I say we can’t afford this. If we have $12,000,000.00 to spend and we want to draw people, let’s rebuild the Nimisilla Zoo so our young people don’t have to travel North to the Akron Zoo to see a real lion. Let’s consider rebuilding Myers Lake so our families don’t have to travel 25 miles South to spend money at Tuscora Park. Let’s consider, uh...redesigning the Northeast...uh... Community Center so that our people don’t have to...uh...they don’t have to go to the Massillon Rec Center for fun and a kid’s birthday party at an indoor water park. I received a mailing promoting the increase in the city income tax rate. There was nothing there that would suggest spending $12,000,000.00 on one city block was a reason for that increase. I’ve read the Comprehensive Plan. There’s nothing there that suggests that a Hall of Fame Monument in downtown would enhance the civic or economic well-being of the city. In fact, on page seven of the Comprehensive Plan, paragraph one, bullet point number 3, it says, and I quote, “Canton can’t just balance its books in ways that reposition to succeed if, by the manner in which it does that, it turns its back on its most vulnerable citizens. Canton is a community. Circumstances require Canton to be smart and it must also be fair.” (End quote). This project isn’t smart and it isn’t fair. This is the wrong project at the wrong time, drawing dollars from the wrong source. Please reconsider your vote to fund this project. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Alright, our next speaker is Pete DiGiacomo. Pete, if you could please step forward COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -241- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 and give us your name and residential address, please. PETE DIGIACOMO: My name is Pete DiGiacomo. I’ve lived at the same address for 52 years, 600 Dent Place SW, Canton, Ohio. Uh, what I want to comment tonight on, is the Health Department and how they beautify...make the city look a lot nicer, a lot cleaner, and a hell of a lot healthier. Once again, down at the Coontz Building, (should have said Coon) people are dumping trash. Who took care of it? I know he’s here. There he is...hair...head of the Heart....Health Department. They peak...they picked up the trash. There must have been at least fifteen to eighteen bags of trash, big ones, and uh, that’s...as far as I know, Health Department’ the only one that’s doing it. Nobody else in the city....I guess it falls on uh....their big shoulders and their big strong backs. I want to thank ‘em again for what they do. A lot of people might not realize it, but it helps. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Our next speaker is Ruth Busch. Ruth, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residen...residential address, please. RUTH BUSCH: Hello. My name is Ruth Busch and I too have lived at my address for 35 years. That’s 2003 Gridley Ave. NE. I’ve never been to a Council Meeting before, so I didn’t know how to prepare, but this is what I’ve got. Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to share my concerns. I’d like to say thank you to the Canton Police Department. The depart...the department is overworked and understaffed. Canton needs more officers on the streets and in our neighborhoods; hence, Issue 13. The first word was safety. First and foremost, my concern is what is Canton’s plan to take back our city from the criminals? These criminals are so blazon and bold, shooting is going on in the daylight, throwing bodies from cars to the street. Thirteen year olds shooting fourteen year olds. No one is safe, not even our postal workers. What can our community do? What can I do to help? What happened to our Gang Task Force? Shotspotters are a reactive tool, not a proactive tool. Personally, when my house was shot up in 2015, the officer answering the call said I was located too far away, and I was less than one block from the Shotspotter. How is that tool useful? Moving on to the appearance of so many neighborhoods. Some are outright disgusting and trashy. I...in many areas, there are more boarded up, overgrown houses than single family, occupied homes. In the area I reside, near Crenshaw and Mahoning Manor, there are so many of my neighbors who pride themselves about the appearance of our homes and surroundings, only to watch it deteriorate before our eyes. Particularly, the vacant house. Some’s boarded up, some aren’t. One house, at 1827 Morris NE, that is located between an elementary and a middle school and one block from the preschool, has been on the demolition list for a very long time. Did we not learn from Cleveland? This is a tragedy waiting to happen. Are we familiar with the Alianna Alert Law? And as I was preparing to come to this meeting, I noticed, yet, another empty house not boarded up. This is at 1821 Midway. This is directly in front of the elementary school, Madge Youtz, and the back side of Hunter Daycare....Child Care Center. Why? I ask why? Does something bad have to happen first to get this corrected? Who decides which houses go down first? I would like to mention the dumping gone wild at Herbruck Park over Mother’s Day weekend. Yes, it was an eyesore, and unexpected. I personally know about Canton’s e-waste, but the amount of trash and debris makes me wonder if the city shouldn’t host these events occasionally. If all that come out of Mahoning Manor and the Royal-Harrisburg area, wow, the neighborhoods has to look better minus all that trash. And lastly, I challenge all of our Council Members to go out, meet the people in all of your designated wards, check on them when things happen. Be recognizable. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you very much. (Applause). Our next speaker is Rose Bocinec. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -242- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 ROSE BOCINEC: Oooo, very good! PRESIDENT SHERER: Did I get it right? ROSE BOCINEC: Yeah, it’s not an easy one. PRESIDENT SHERER: Rose, if you could please step forward and give us your uh...name and residential address, please. ROSE BOCINEC: (Inaudible). I will. Hi! My name’s Rose Bocinec. I live at 2658 Ellis NE. I think it’s still...uh...Ward 6. Um, I um...go to work up in Akron and I’m traveling the highways a lot. What I’ve noticed is that the uh...the middle section of the highways...the grass along the highways, going on-ramps, off-ramps, the roads are really bad. And you guys have already asked for my tax dollars to do the funding for the potholes, for the re-construction. I’m asking you guys to just freaking mow the grass on those roads. Because you can’t see signs. Some of the signs are prohibited from sight because of tree growth and when I get up towards Akron, they’re out there two or three times a month re-cutting the grass. On the highway, off the highway, wherever there’s a...a need. They’re there doing it. They’ve got the um...the um...what are they...incarcerated people, and they’re out there on the highway with them, two or three times a month bagging up. They leave their little orange bags for whoever comes along to pick them up. I haven’t seen anything like through...and I travel up and down 77 a lot, South and North. Akron’s the only one that I’ve seen that actually pro...pro...uh...proactive in taking care of their maintenance of their streets and their grass and their communities. They all look a lot better than ours and I’m...encourage everyone to step out of the box. I appreciate all the work that you do, but you know, if there is a task force that can be created out of the homeless, that we can give them jobs and let them earn a little bit of money, just go and...mowing grass. Somebody needs to look into something and giving some people something to do with all their extra time. I think that’s a major problem in a lot of people’s lives. They don’t feel confident enough to find a job, so then they’re home and...they’re...they’re not lazy. They might be on drugs or medicated doctor medicines, but they can still go out and pick up a bag and pick up the garbage. They can still go out with a mower and...and take care of these things. And make our coun...our city look a little more presentable and like we actually give a damn about our community and it’s not just lip service. It’s actually people working together to make it better. This coun...this town...I’ve lived my whole life in and I’ve never seen it...it looks like a third world nation in certain neighborhoods. So I implore you to get out there, take notice of our con...our people and you know, take some action, find a solution. I’m all about solutions. I’ll be one of the first out there to volunteer if you get...get something going. That’s all I got. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you very much. Our next speaker is Amy Smith. Amy, if you could step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. AMY SMITH: Good evening. My name is Amy Smith. I live at 1303 24th St. NW. Seven years ago I moved to Canton. A decision I regret. My next door neighbor was a drug dealer and animal abuser. There was an armed robbery a block away and I’ve had countless items stolen. Twice someone has entered my gate overnight looking for a way into my garage. Guests can’t safely park on the street and I live on one of the better streets in the neighborhood. Almost daily, I wake up to news about a shooting in Canton, but what I don’t hear is any comment from our elected officials about what you plan to do about it. Until this past weekened, when the (Inaudible) reached a fever pitch, there was silence from the city about the recent escalation in violent crime. Your citizens are speculating about a gang war and rumors about threats against COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -243- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 mail carriers. And what’s making my blood boil is this copy of a mailer that I received last year encouraging me to vote for Issue 13. Vote yes for a stronger, safer Canton. Safety forces is first on this list, yet the tax increase only had 20% designated for safety and the general fund, combined. This flyer tells me that you know that safety was the hot button issue for voters and you used our fear to get more of our money for the ambiguous Comprehensive Plan, which translates into a park that seems to serve as a fundraiser for the Hall of Fame. Green space is nice, but this city can’t afford green space when it suffers from such deplorable crime statistics. You knew that the average voter, sadly, would not read the find print on the ballot, but instead, they saw the 50 point font that screamed safety. So now we have a $12,000,000.00 park coming to a city and the bottom 2% for safety in the state. In Ohio, you have a 1 in 336 chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime but in Canton that number becomes 1 in 85. How can anyone live with this? Why don’t we see police in our neighborhoods everyday? Why are you authorizing police overtime instead of increasing the force? When I moved here, I loved Stadium Park, but now it’s filled with criminals who sell drugs out in the open. When I had videos of drug trafficking ten feet from my bedroom window, it took me two years to get anybody to come and get that neighbor out of there. His house was in such bad shape it was quickly and quietly sold for $14,000.00 in back taxes to our city’s most notorious slumlord. Another slap in the face, when we the neighbors, wanted to buy that property. If you review the Ward pages on Facebook, you’ll see how your citizens feel about the condition of this city and the management of our tax dollars. The voters were duped. And now we go to work every day to pay for a football shaped park while we sleep in one of the 100 most dangerous cities in America. Who would want to open a business or raise a family here? A child’s chance of becoming a victim of violence is three times greater here, than almost anywhere else in the country. Mayor, it’s time to make crime your first priority before your legacy is building another park that’s overrun by criminals. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: The next speaker is John Laughlin. John, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. JOHN LAUGHLIN: Good evening. My name is John Laughlin, Jr. and I reside at 606 McKinley SW. Uh...tonight I want to talk to you about priorities in Canton and why this Administration and Council need to realign them. The Administration and Council want to prioritize spending over $12,000,000.00 on a block downtown in Canton. It...it’s a great idea for the most part, with the exception of (Inaudible) that competes with their local businesses and letting the Hall of Fame waltz in to operate a facility and take the profits to do it, and they don’t have a dime into this project. Overall it’s a great idea, but I don’t find it a priority. Even with hosting the Centennial for the NFL in 2020, it’s not a priority in this city. What I do find a priority in this city, and which the city tried to peddle to people to vote for a tax increase, is police and neighborhood improvement. And let me make very clear, I didn’t vote for this increase, but it’s passed and this is what we have to work with. The Comprehensive Plan doesn’t just call for improving downtown Canton. I’ve actually read the plan and I’m a proponent of the Plan. Where I take issue is the order of allocating funds and what to improve first. The violence in this city’s neighborhoods right now is absolutely unacceptable. Residents of some of the neighborhoods, they feel trapped. They’re helpless against this right now. And people that work in Canton’s neighborhoods, well, they worry what’s going to happen to them while they try to earn a living in ‘em. You know, being caught in the crossfire with gang violence in this city is certainly no one’s idea of living the dream, here. I’m asking the Administration and Council to reconsider their priorities and realign them with re-improving the neighborhoods and making them liveable and safe from the excessive violence that plagues them. Take that $12,000,000.00 and spend it on that instead. And I sure appreciate your time tonight to listen. (Applause). COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -244- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 PRESIDENT SHERER: Our next speaker is Jill Thomas. Jill, if you’d please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. JILL THOMAS: Hi. My name is Jill Thomas. I reside at 1131 25th St. NE. I am speaking in regards to Issue 13, as well. I have been a resident of Canton for almost my entire life. I was born here, grew up in the Northeast end, graduated from McKinley High School, class of 1999. I purchased my home here and I’ve raised my children here. They also attended Canton City Schools. My daughter graduated from McKinley Senior High School as well as Early College High School with her Associate Degree, class of 2018. My son is currently on the same path as his sister, as an incoming freshman in McKinley’s Early College Program. I have been volunteering with various programs in Canton for the last 14 years. I work in downtown Canton and I also choose to spend my free time and my money downtown. I love this city; however, I’m not satisfied with the direction we have been moving in. This city is so much better than the current state we are in. The time has come to make an honest effort to effect positive change. Specifically today, I am requesting that Council Members take into consideration what the voters intentions were with a yes vote for Issue 13. The mailer that came home for Issue 13 stated, “Issue 13, Yes for a stronger, safer Canton. A “for” vote on Issue 13 is a vote for safety forces, neighborhood improvements, improved roads, economic growth and jobs, a stronger, safer Canton.” I love what the Hall of Fame brings to our city and I absolutely agree we need to capitalize on that; however, voters are against spending $12,000,000.00 to redevelop the green space downtown. One to three million dollars is a more reasonable amount and would have provided a multi-use stage that could have been utilized year-round for events. In light of the recent crime our city is experiencing, again I look back at Issue 13 in regards to safety forces and a stronger safer Canton. We need more police officers. They are understaffed and underpaid in comparison to similar cities in our area. I would like to see the Gang Task Force reinstated, with officers who are dedicated to that department. The areas of Shorb as well as 14th St. NE need a constant police presence focusing on proactive community policing instead of being reactive. Issue 13, Economic Growth and Jobs. We need increased after school, weekend and summer youth programming for all ages. Our older youth and young adults need job training and work programs. We need to bring more jobs to the city. Employment that offers liveable wages, not minimum wages. And employers who will hire adults with criminal records. Some of these programs already exist. As a city, our communication and marketing of these existing programs is awful. We need to work together instead of co-existing as separate entities in competition with each other. Issue 13. Improved Roads and Neighborhood Improvements. Maintaining the basics. Potholes, demolishing blighted structures, mowing, street sweeping. Maintain that first and move on to revitalizing neighborhoods. Let’s take the can’t out of Canton and move past the politics to effect positive change across our city. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Our next speaker is Laurie Swallen. Laurie, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. LAURIE KATUSIN SWALLEN: My name is Laurie Katusin Swallen, 1310 19th St. NW. I am not naive enough to believe that there is one fast solution that will fix all of our city’s problems; however, I know that we can do more and that not enough is being done. I choose to live here. I love my neighbors, I am proud of my home and love watching my kids play with others as they run from house to house, the way it should be. The way it was for us. We see what good can do when we see the success of Officer Sharpe’s Foundation and the many kids he is impacting. There is such support that we know that we can find more. There are ways to make the changes needed. As a highschool teacher who worked with students for 15 years, I know that even the small things can make all the difference and make a difference we must. Friday night there were gunshots fired in the alley behind my house. As most of us will do when school is out and summer is started, COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -245- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 I allowed my kids to stay out late and after dark. We no sooner went in when I heard the rapid fire. I paused because since moving to Canton, I now play the game of “was it gunshots or fireworks?’ My heart froze as I knew, and I knew where they had come from, as all my neighbors did. I have three kids. They love our home and neighbors but now I have to coax them to go out and play and my six year olds are afraid of being shot. If I were honest, I am afraid of that too. For homeowners, there has been a constant battle of turning in the landlords who refuse to take care of their properties and do not check on their tenants. What is most alarming to me is that when you continue to allow homes to become rental properties, the pride of home ownership and community decreases. Boarders have continued to speak out about the issues of crime and rentals in our communities and yet crime is increasing, gangs are walking the streets at night and now I have to worry about the safety of my children playing in their own backyard. We have over 50% of our city as rentals. Why are we not limiting or stopping the amount of rental properties? If we do not make drastic changes, homeowners will continue to sell to escape the crime and things will continue to get worse. People need to know that we have some control over what is happening in our neighborhoods, that the Council is listening and that we have police support. When we call them, they do not show up at all or for hours we lose hope. We must know that there are patrols and that they will take the reports and follow up on them. For that matter, the people committing crimes need to know the police will come. When I called back to check on the results of the investigation of the shooting, I was not in the system and no one could tell me who I gave my information to. I was told it was a simple “shots fired, ma’am, and we get tons of those every day.” I was also told there would be no increased patrols. I’m sorry, but as a voter, parent and homeowner in this city, this is not enough. Issue 13 literature stated that the money would be used to increase safety forces and work on neighborhood improvements for a stronger, safer Canton. Why were millions spent on the downtown green space with the money you told us would be used for a safer city? We demand better in our neighborhoods. If they decline to complete chaos, what then will Canton do to draw anyone to visit here? Please do what you promised the voters and increase the number of patrols and police officers in our actual neighborhoods. Stop giving us election speech responses and take action. Pretend you lived near my alley and make it personal. Because to all of us in my neighborhood, it is. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Our next speaker is Lynda Tuttle. Lynda, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. LYNDA TUTTLE: Hello. I’m Lynda Tuttle. I live at 1106 18th St. NW, here in Canton. I’m exasperated. I don’t quite know where to start. I’ve prepared a speech but I think you guys have heard from a lot of people tonight. We’re all feeling the same thing. We have a lot of concerns about Issue 13 funding, the appropriation of it. We have an awful lot of concerns about safety. Several of you I’ve known for years, I consider you my friends. You’re also my Council, my Mayor. I respect the job each and every one of you do and what is before you to do. But I’m also here because you have a responsibility to each of us. We are your constituents and we don’t feel heard. I’ve lived in my home for 30 years. I work hard to help bring people together, to make this a better neighborhood, to make it a stronger neighborhood and a safer neighborhood. We are the...my husband and I are the head of North Lehman Neighborhood Association, which is one of the older neighborhood associations of Canton. We’ve been involved for years. I’ve been involved for almost 20 years now. We have worked through all kinds of things with the city. We partner with you on all kinds of programs. We try to partner with you when there are problems. Promises from officials have lead...have...I’m sorry. Promises from officials have been used as pacifiers to concerned residents. No longer do we want to be pacified by (Inaudible) answers like “It takes time.” I’ve watched the decline. I think everybody here can say we’ve watched the decline the last ten years. I remember when our streets were safe. I remember when our houses were nice. I remember when we could put out chairs and flower pots and not COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -246- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 have them stolen. We plant landscaping and it’s gone. It’s dug up and gone in the middle of the night. That’s unacceptable. Waking up in the middle of the night, regularly, to sounds of gunshots and fighting in our streets. It’s unacceptable. Drive the streets at night, see for yourself. It’s in plain sight. Due to my husband’s medical conditions, which I think most people...uh...most of you...know about, but for those that don’t...he has a medical condition that causes him to have a lot of...uh...confusion. And in that confusion state, he has ended up missing, several times. He’s gone missing three times in the last eight months. We’ve had city-wide searches for him because of the severity of what happens when his blood pressure drops. It’s very life threatening. In efforts to find him, I have driven our streets and alleys all night long. As recent as last weekend. Let me tell you, it’s really scary. It’s out there in plain sight. All night long I feared my husband being gang beaten to death or shot. It’s real, it happens in our neighborhood. We’ve seen it with other neighbors. Young adults leave Canton. Families flee. My own friends and family have left. They’re scared to come visit us. Upon graduating with a masters, my own daughter wanted nothing to do with coming back to live in Canton. As a business owner downtown here, my clients don’t want to come. They’ve begged me to move my business to North Canton or Jackson or some place out Plain Township, where they feel safer to come for classes. I work with kids. They don’t want to bring their kids. They’ve asked me to lock my doors during classes. This is unacceptable. You promised us a stronger, safer Canton with Issue 13. I’m asking you to re-evaluate everything that’s being done and put safety as the number one priority. Put increase in police officers. Have police officers take reports. I think there are tons of people can attest to the number of times they’ve called the police and a report isn’t even written up. Unacceptable. We can’t enforce to our kids that laws matter if laws aren’t being enforced. Thank you for your time. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. Our next speaker is Sally Conley. Sally, if you could please step forward and give us your name and resi...residential address, please. SALLY CONLEY-OYSTER: My name is Sally Conley-Oyster. I live at 1725 Frazer Ave. NW, Vasser Park Neighborhood, Ward 9. On the night of May 27, approximately 2:30 in the morning, my husband and I awoke to a man standing in our front porch, looking in. Yes, we were late, the lights were off. We like to have the door open for fresh air because we sleep in the living room because we’re move comfortable. My husband was uh...just getting over surgery and all I heard him screaming, “Get out of here, get out of here, get the bleep out of here.” And I hesitated and I’m like no, I’m calling the police and I’m going to file a report. Of course, my daughter was awake. She said, “Let me drive around.” I don’t actually like her doing that but she’s old enough to do that. She came down, we were out talking. I look up the street and I see my neighbor’s van door standing wide open. I had already called the police once, they come by and I called the police again to make that report. I’m very concerned about this city. My husband is 75 years old and he does not need this kind of stuff in the middle of the night. And the issue of downtown, the Kresge block, $12 plus million dollars. You know, that would go a long ways towards taking care of some of the crime in this city and also for the infrastructure. You know, when you’ve got potholes in this city that are deep enough that you could sink a battleship in ‘em, there’s something wrong. Twenty-first St. NW...just where (Inaudible) had the...um...I don’t know what they call it now...the...the...the chip and seal, not two years ago. It already has a great big pothole at the top of the hill. So, you know, there’s something wrong with what we’re doing. We need to do things right and do ‘em right the first time. Then we don’t have to come back in two years and replace everything. I think we could...uh...spend our money a little better, a little more pri...prioritized. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. Our last speaker tonight is Kim Brown. Kim, if you could please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -247- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JUNE 3, 2019 KIM BROWN: My name is Kim Brown. I live at 1628 20th St. NE, Canton. I’ve been here most of my life. Moved back from Columbus 28 years ago. I am a responsible homeowner living in the 9th Ward, very near the last violent in...incident that took place, just last week. I have yet to see the presence...uh...the increased presence of police. I drive down Gibbs almost daily. I have yet to see an increase in...of police. I drive down 12th St. almost daily, I have yet to see an increase in the presence of police in that area. This responsible homeowner does not feel safe, does not see the monies I voted for in November regarding Issue 13, some of which was to be used to increase police presence. Yet, you have all va..uh...voted to allocate over $12,000,000.00 to uh...develop green space downtown. That will not help my safety or the value of my home. Now to our youth. The city has funded some agencies to hire youth; however, we know that 600 jobs is not enough. It is my hope that someone will write more grants or pull money together from somewhere to increase that number next year, including money for Youth Director to address and coordinate these efforts as well as to re-establish the Gang Task Force. It is my hope that the city will do better with monitoring the work done by contractors of the lawn care services of negl...neglectful vacant lots. They were terrible the last two seasons and I had to call several times for not only...um...lots near my home, but also my mother’s home. This is something that our city used...(Inaudible) to do along with city workers and it was much better done, while teaching a skill to our youth. I want better for my city, I want better for my family, and I want better for my neighborhoods and for my children. Thank you. (Applause). PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you.
