PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell, would you please, uh...have a seat please, so we can have our speaker at the podium. JESSIE: My name is Jessie (?). I live at 1433 (Inaudible) Circle NW. That’s a Canton address, Perry Township. Thank you. Uh...I’m a property owner at 1229 Bedford SW. Um...I am opposed to the proposed zoning change...uh...that you just referred to. Um...to give you an example, I bought the property...I’m a landlord...I bought the property in 2003 and paid $46,000.00 for it. It might be worth $37,000.00 now. I think if you allow this zoning change, you’re going to effectively ruin this neighborhood. There’s a big push in the city of Canton...uh...for home ownership to revitalize the city. Right now I have a young couple that’s renting, that’s interested in buying this house. They’re not gonna want to buy it if you put this building up. Um...I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you folks today to express my opinion. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. I must repeat, is there anyone in the audience wishing to speak for or against this zone change, please step forward. Seeing no one step forward, the Chair (Inaudible) declares the Public Hearing over in regard to this matter. The matter now rests in the hands of Council. The Ornan...Ordinance will follow later this evening. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 107 JOURNAL PAGE -120- MINUTES OF THE MEETING MARCH 9, 2020 OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Old Business and we have no Old Business for this evening. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Public Speaks and we have 1 speaker for tonight. Our first speaker is Ms. Kimberly Bell. Ms. Bell, would you please step forward and give us your name and residential address. KIMBERLY BELL: Yes. Kimberly Bell...(clears throat) 135 - 17th St. NW... PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell would you... KIMBERLY BELL: ...Canton, Ohio. PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell, would you lower the mic, please. Thank you. KIMBERLY BELL: 135 - 17th St. NW, Canton, Ohio 44703. What else? Just my address, right. PRESIDENT SHERER: Yes. KIMBERLY BELL: Okay. Yeah, um, when I started coming to these meetings, it was about the shootings and the killings of young black men and women. And I spoke with the Mayor. The result of me coming here, talking with you all...I was cussed at by a Council Member; I was lied on by a Council Member; I was kicked out of City Hall for 30 days by a city government worker. Um...and it was just unnecessary. All I asked for was help and the result of asking for help...that’s what I got. That was the...that was the result of asking for help and housing for these young people and these young black people getting killed. Well, over the week, the past week, I’ve gave you all what has happened over the week. We got...we got four...three...three people dead that I can remember, but it’s...you know...it’s not just affecting the victims lives, it’s the ones who did the killings too. Could have been so...some of these probably could have been saved if you would have helped me with what I was asking for. I’ve been in the prison system on numerous occasions and I’ve seen how these young people destroy their lives over this kind of actions and I asked the mayor to help me. I have grandkids. I’m trying to prevent this and you didn’t even...you kicked me out of here. This all could be stopped if you....you got money to spend on the Centennial Plaza. Millions to spend on that but you don’t have nothing for these young men and women lives and them going to prison for the rest of their life. It’s sad. So, the lawsuit I have against you...I’m going to drop the lawsuit because I can’t win. You white people win every time. I can’t win, nobody can win with you. All I wanted was help to prevent this. I know these young men who did this, it could have been stopped. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bell.
