MEMBER SMITH: Could I ask the Cook family if you would come here or stand, and I know somebody is
going to be a spokesperson and receive this. Anybody want to take a picture? …No, you’re good. (Inaudible).
(Laughter). I would like to present this to the family. I know most of you probably know Nate, but uh…Mr.
Cook, for those of you that do not know, Mr. Cook was the last, really…living parent in our section of the
Southeast. And when I say that…I say that because we all grew up together and Mr. Cook did so much for that
community. Those of you may not know, but there was a church before the Urban Renewal came, and sort of
separated all of us. That was the church that was in Jackson Park that was taken away during the time of the
Urban Renewal. Mr. Cook, along with a couple other Deacons of the church, built the church that is now
standing on Allen S.E. Yes! And he built that church with his hands, that is standing now and with members,
and a lot of them are from our neighborhood. This is his family. He has been recognized by a couple of our
mayors, previous mayors, and so this one, we feel, you have a part in this. So, I wanted to leave a legacy of him
along with his family, and for all that he’s done for the community. And I really appreciate you all being here
and accepting this. And I want to thank Council, also, for agreeing and uh…adopting this Resolution. So, I’m
gonna let Nate sort of speak and say some words. I know he’s gonna…he’s got something to say. And this is a
plaque in his honor. Oh…okay…
NATE COOKS: Good evening, Council. I won’t take up much of your time, but first I want to thank God, who
blessed each and every one of us and blessed our family members to be here for this event; and ask him to
watch over this meeting tonight and make it a very profitable meeting. Uh…the Cooks family, as mentioned,
we have lived in the Southeast section of Canton for over sixty years. And we live in the same household,
presently, for almost sixty years. Um…my older brothers and sisters, my siblings are here tonight, um…want
to thank them. Algie, Diane, Jessie, Gloria. Those are the siblings, and then we have nieces and nephews.
Three things that I would like to share about my father, Solomon Cooks, who is the patriarch of our family.
Um…we had no idea, when we were growing up, that he was a business man. Um…#1, he took care of
business for God. Uh…he was a registered Minister for the Southeast Church of Christ, which is still in
operation, 1424 Allen Ave., um…and was the longest living Trustee of the original church that was located on
Cherry Avenue. If those of you know about Jackson Park, um…those were the good days. Um…he also had a
personal ministry for incarcerated men at the Stark County Jail and he would share a word for the Lord, with
anyone who would listen or anyone who would not. Um…#2, he took care of his business for his family.
Um…our mother passed forty years ago in 19…over forty years ago in 1980, and he never wavered in his role
as the leader of our family until his physical death in December 2020. He was able to touch and to hold and put
to sleep six generations of Cooks’ siblings. Uh…and he had impact on all of our lives until the day that he left.
And we’re here tonight to bear witness to his legacy; #3, he was a business man for his community and for his
neighborhood. Um…the proclamation that was brought in by my sister earlier, was about ten or more years ago
from then Mayor, William J. Healy for commitment for the community and things of that nature. Um…Council
Woman Chris Smith frequented our house, I know, as a young lady, with some of my sisters. I think Dave
Dougherty, Councilman Dave Dougherty, might have made his way through our household, through the
neighborhood while on the Southeast. And uh…Kevin Hall, also the Councilman for our Ward 6, I believe,
uh…he actually, a couple years ago, cut firewood and brought it over to my father’s home for him to put in the
fireplace that he built for himself. And yes, he was a master carpenter also. Um…if you had the opportunity to
see the article in the paper from Habitat, they’re revitalizing the Southeast Community Center and they’re
starting off with the Southeast Church of Christ. And I really didn’t know until I read the article about the
impact that he had, not only with the church family, but with the community family, but with people like CEO’s
of organizations who sat at his home and drunk coffee with him and actually took advice from his also. So, it is
extreme…with extreme gratitude and humbleness that we, the family of Solomon J. L. Cooks, have been
requested to be present here tonight for the possibility and I guess the passing of… Watson Place…411 Watson
Place, where we reside, that named street will be changed to Solomon J. L. Cooks Way. Thank you from the
bottom of our hearts. (Applause). (Inaudible).

MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 24, 2021
ALGIE COOKS: I’d like to say a word too.
MEMBER SMITH: Go ahead.
ALGIE COOKS: Uh…my name is Algie Cooks and I’m the eldest of the family and I’d like to thank Christine.
I’ve known her for so…for years
MEMBER SMITH: …You know he likes to call me Christine! (Laughter).
ALGIE COOKS: I thank all the Council Members, really appreciate it. Thank you so much. God bless.
(Applause). (Inaudible talking as family exits the Chamber).
MEMBER SMITH: Thank you, Council Members.
PUBLIC SPEAKS
PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Public Speaks and we have two speakers for this evening. Our first
speaker is Ms. Kimberly Bell. And I do not see Ms. Bell in the audience so we mo...we will move on to our
next speaker. Our next speaker is DeLores…
DELORES SIMONELLA: Simonella…
PRESIDENT SHERER: Simone…Simonella. I didn’t want to mispronounce that. DeLores, if you could
please step to the mic and if you could uh…please state your name and residential address, please.
DELORES SIMONELLA: Uh…it’s DeLores Simonella, I’m at 1207 – 20th St. NE.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Um...hang on for one second.
CLERK DOUGHERTY: Talk into the mic.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Did they shut it off?
DELORES SIMONELLA: It’s on…
DELORES SIMONELLA: The light’s green.
PRESIDENT SHERER: I don’t think the mic is on, Clerk Dougherty.
DELORES SIMONELLA: Um, maybe I’m just not close enough. (Inaudible). Oh, alright. (Inaudible). I do
feel pretty good here tonight. I’ve been quite active in previous years, with my husband and see a lot of familiar
faces and things…rough spots that you know, you guys helped smooth the way and never dreaming I would be
up here and uh, be able to even be up here, so the first thing I want to say is good evening, to the Council
Members and everybody else. Short…okay. I am going to make it short, I was hoping…the other person didn’t
come…I might squeeze in six minutes, but I’m keeping it short. I…I’m here to address a problem of a business
entity that wants to open and operate at 1125 20th St. NE. That’s two doors from my house, where I am right
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 109 JOURNAL PAGE 199
MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 24, 2021
now. It’s on a rental property and what they have is a dog breeding business. This is a commercial, ongoing,
business idea. The renters have already placed a six-cage barn, they brought it in, kennel on the property. I
have submitted some pictures before. I have them with me if you’d like to see what that looks like. Uh…and
this is a residential area. You know, I get my tax bill and it says, “Property Tax – Residential.” I bought my
property for residential property. Almost everybody there, we have another renter on our street, but this is
where the problem has been since the house was auctioned about five years ago. This has been a
very…uh…hmm…problematic house through the past few years. I’d have to tell you this again. This is a
residential area, one family home, neighborhood, not commercial zoned for pet… or for business. I grew up in
Canton. My…uh…I raised…I was…grew up in Canton, raised my kids in Canton and you know…your age is
an unlisted number, but I’m telling you, I’ve been here fifty plus years, at the residence where I’m at now. I’ve
seen a lot like you’ve seen a lot. Seen the city change but this is a good place to live and we’re going
somewhere, you know, but we got to all go together, protecting one another. And this is off the…my son said,
“don’t do this”, you know. But I’ve got to tell you a little how I feel about the city. I got a fever for it, you
know. It never gets old. I got a knew couple in…couple houses down from me and it’s exciting to see children
and laughter, you know, and just enjoy them. And I’m not here because I’m against tenants at this rental. I
open them with open arms, we want young people in there but we don’t want the business. This is strictly…this
is…this is opening a can of worms. It already has. Because if this happens, it could be a precedence of
something happening somewhere else and that’s why even people up…I’m about two and a half blocks from
Ridgewood and uh…some of the people I know, you know, they’re uh…hanging in there like me and uh, some
aren’t. But you know, they’re concerned. You know, my question was, I says, I live in the neighborhood, a few
blocks down the street from you, but I just want to ask you a question…
PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Simonella…
DELORES SIMONELLA: Yes…
PRESIDENT SHERER: You’re permitted three minutes so could you please bring your remarks to a close,
please.
DELORES SIMONELLA: Sorry, but anyway…okay…okay…back to…thank you, I needed that and I…keep
me in line, but anyway… since I grew up here and raised my family here for fifty plus years, I do not want this
business operating here, in the 9th Ward. I have thirty-five other people, Oh, I don’t know how many on my
street, you’ll count them, ten or something, you know, I live in one block radius, and uh…all through the 21st
Street, all over Ridgewood, and I did this in two days, in the heat. I don’t have all that new technology so I’m
meeting people and my son is meeting people and we’re hearing what they have to say and was asking the same
question that I was going to say to…to…repeat a minute ago. If this is you and I moved there and I wanted to
put this in, would you be happy? Because you have a lot of big side lots. And this house happens to have a side
lot. And you know, and…and…and then if they said, no, I would like that, I’d say, would you like to sign the
petition? And that took a few days in some heat, but we got them, I gave them to Christine over there, and she’s
gonna let you see them.
PRESIDENT SHERER: I would ask…Ms. Simonella, I would encourage you to stay after the meeting, if you
could, but your time has expired.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 109 JOURNAL PAGE 200
MINUTES OF THE MEETING MAY 24, 2021
DELORES SIMONELLA: Oh, well…
PRESIDENT SHERER: I would encourage you to stay after the meeting so we can point you to talk to the
appropriate person.
DELORES SIMONELLA: I have talked to about everybody in here. The only thing I would like to
stay…say…is that we do not want this to be in our neighborhood. Whether it has to take an ordinance or what,
we’ve been through zoning and I think everything single person has some little bit to add together after the
meeting today for you to discuss. Because you know, it just doesn’t end with this. This is involving a lot of
things and what we’re asking is that this building would be shut down for this dog breeding. And I thank you
for your time and patience and I know you got to keep an order, so…my neighbor brought me and she can’t stay
the whole time, so we’ll be leaving. But if you’d like to have the pictures, I’d be glad to leave them with you.
Some of you have gotten them, you can get them…probably, I don’t know, I don’t know all that technology but
I do know people and I know our neighborhood does not want this, all across the board. And we’ve just begun
on this. Thank you.
PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Simonella.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS:
MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2021 in Council Caucus Room @ 6:30 PM
1) Finance Committee
2) Judiciary Committee
3) Community & Economic Development Committee
4) Personnel Committee
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: Member Smuckler said that he could not hear anything Member Hall (who appeared
remotely) said earlier because of the background noise. He announced that based on the Governor’s decision to open up Ohio
as of June 2nd, he is going to invite everyone back for Monday night Council meetings. If anyone has any questions or reasons
why they would prefer not to appear, please see him personally. His intent is to have everybody back on June 7th. Member
Hall asked the Administration for a copy of the organizations that have been funded for the summer program and the various
age groups that may participate. Deputy Mayor Williams said he would send a copy to all Council Members. Mayor Bernabei
reminded everyone that next Monday is Memorial Day and that there will be a Memorial Day Parade. It will line up at 10:00 AM
on McKinley Avenue next to the old Timken High School, travel down West Tusc and turn into the Monument area where there
will be a ceremony. He invited everyone to attend and reminded them that Memorial Day is a day to remember those who
gave their lives in service of our country. Member Smith invited everyone to the Wayne Douglas Jamerson Spray Park, which
will open on Memorial Day. She thanked the Council Members that have donated thus far, and anyone else who wishes to
donate may see her.
