OLD BUSINESS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Old Business, and there is no Old Business for this evening. PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Informal Resolutions and we have six for this evening. Mr. Clerk, would you please read Resolution #49… CLERK DOUGHERTY: Public Speaks. PUBLIC SPEAKS PRESIDENT SHERER: Okay. Yeah, that’s fine. Alright. Um, I take that back. We are now gonna do Public Speaks. I apologize for that. And we have two speakers for this evening. Our first speaker is Ms. Kimberly Bell. And I would like to remind our two speakers that you do have three minutes. Ms. Bell, could you please state your name and residential address, please. KIMBERLY BELL: Kimberly Bell, 135 17th Street NW, Canton, Ohio. I… I… I hand… I gave you three of them, Chris, one for Fonda and Andrea Perry. But I have a clipping… I gave you Council Members a… uh, code violation of the property I live at, and I’ve been there 14 years and as you can read, the… the issues that’s going on there. That was one of the properties… I’ve been there 14 years and I… and when I gave you guys the layout last year, that was the property I was speaking about that… I was… it’s a histor… historical Ridgewood property which could be turned into a… a… a property for those just coming out of the prison system. When the judges sentenced those defendants to the criminal justice system it’s for them to be rehabilitated and corrected, but they come out of the system on the streets and they’re not given the chance to prove that the rehabilitated and corrections that the judge ordered them to serve. So if we… if we take ownership of this property that has all these violations, allow those… those… those people that’s coming out of the system to reha… to rehab this property, if we take owner… if the City helps me take ownership of it. They’re trying to evict me after 14 years because I told on them. I got tired of the conditions and I called Andrea Perry. Andrea Perry told me to call the City about the property, so… I mean call the Code Department about the property, so I did and the (inaudible). What you have before you is the result of me calling them. But… and that… that’s not the only issue I wanted to bring before you, but I only have less than a minute. It’s… last time I spoke it was about me and Tyreia Grimes getting funding for our… our little… for the programs we want for these individuals that’s coming out of the system because you… the… the protestors is not gonna be your problem in the next year, it’s those that’s coming out of the system that’s gonna be your problem. But tomorrow we… we… we… um, will elect, like… like Mr. Smuckler said, we’ll be going back to the polls. I already did. I work the polls every year. This year I’m going to East Sparta to work. But we will re… we will elect the three branches of government again to run this country, which is legislative, executive and judicial. The judicial system is base… is merely based in the black community, so we gotta make some change, you guys, cause it’s COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 108 JOURNAL PAGE 472 MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 2020 getting worse. It’s getting bad before it’s getting better. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Bell. Our next and last speaker is Ms. Skylark Bruce. Ms. Bruce, could you please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. SKYLARK BRUCE: My name is Skylark Bruce and I live at 1242 Worley Avenue NW. I don’t want to be here tonight. I’ve been driving everyone I find to go vote and consoling those who have traumatic experiences in that process. More of the same tomorrow. Many of you are probably concerned about what this week may hold for our country, and that’s me too. The prospect of additional violence in the streets is not gonna let me rest well either. But it strikes me that this anxiety level that I as a middle class white person feel right now is roughly the same base line terror that many black people live with every day for their whole lives, without the ability to leave it behind or hide in a bunker, without the reassurance that safety forces exist for their safety, without the privilege of knowing that if they die suspiciously by a cop on a power trip, the system will give two hoots. So, we start somewhere. We start messy and imperfect, but we start. We learn as we go, but we don’t stop when it gets hard. I had the opportunity to ask Chief Angelo at a different meeting last week what his thoughts were regarding liability insurance for police officers. As you may expect, he said he hadn’t really thought about it, and it would be a tough sell with the unions. If it were easy, it may have been done years ago. But we who think of ourselves as decent, we don’t get a pass to skip the hard stuff and let our fans adore us for maintaining the status quo. That’s (inaudible) level nonsense. The next thing is Campaign Zero’s Nix the Six. The next thing is assuring that police unions don’t have outsized power in deciding who lives and who dies. The next thing is hard, but it is worth doing. I’m tired and I’m scared, but I’m still here. Are you backing down or have you only begun to fight? Black lives matter. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bruce. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Informal Resolutions and we have six for this evening.
