Ms. Bell, could you please state your name and residential address, please. KIMBERLY BELL: Yes, Kimberly Bell, 1733 Morris Avenue, Canton, Ohio. Welcome, Mr. Giavasis. Um, you all know what my issue with… with you guys are, but it was another avoidable act by the Canton Police Department. And another police offer has… uh, officer has chained this… shamed this department and caused the death of someone, caused the incarceration of me, and it was avoidable if you would of just did your job and investigated. Mr. Smuckler, you… we spoke about the mental health issues before this all happened, and I had a mental breakdown after being put in the Stark County Jail for those three hours. It brought back some very bad memories. And do you think I’ve got a call from Chief Angelo or anybody to apologize? No. But, some other thing you’re sweeping under the rug. And I told you how this day was coming. I told you all this when Chris Schulman was here, that Canton’s own was gonna kill somebody. I told you all that and lookin… look where we’re at today. So, and not one of you have, to my knowledge, have visited that gentleman’s family. And Mayor, you know how I feel about it, when you and I went on that last trip together. So, I mean, this is… all of… this could have been all avoided if you would of… they would of just do their job. It’s another one coming too. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bell. Our next speaker is Ms. Sierra Mason. Ms. Mason, could you please state your name and residential address, please. SIERRA MASON: Sierra Mason, 812 18th Street NW, Canton, Ohio 44703. On January 1, 2022 at 12:06 A.M., James Williams was celebrating New Year’s Day by firing into the air when he was shot and killed in his own backyard by an officer of the Canton Police Department. Many Canton residents were doing the same thing that night, but James Williams was the only person that was killed by CPD. The people of the State of Ohio, through the Ohio General Assembly, have determined that it is not unlawful to discharge your firearm on your own property according to the Ohio Revised Code. My family, friends, support… and supporters of James Williams, demand justice for James Williams, and these are a list of our demands. One, immediately release the name of the CPD Officer who killed James Williams. Two, immediately rel… release the 9-1-1 calls regarding gun fire in the area that night. Three, immediately release all CPD dis… dispatch records regarding the James Williams incident. Four, immediately release all dash camera videos from the CPD Officers on the scene unedited. Five, immediately release all body camera footage from the CPD Officers on the scene also unedited. And I’m gonna let Joseph finish the rest. PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Mason, just for clarification that you’re… you’re… SIERRA MASON: Oh, I know. I… I’m done speaking. He’s the next speaker. PRESIDENT SHERER: I know, that’ll be fine. So our next speaker will be Mr. Joseph Butts. Mr. Butts, could you please state your name and residential address, please. JOSEPH BUTTS: Joseph Butts, 1225 Rowland Avenue NE.

I am all for, on a different night, to deal with every rule if that’s what we want to do, and go through and do it. I don’t think it’s in the best interest of this Council to hold all committee meetings on a separate night. They don’t work for our staff, they don’t work for the Administration, and I apologize, Council Member Smith, if that’s what you were trying to get to do last week cause I didn’t understand. I thought you were trying to move all the committee meetings to a separate night. And I’m not infallible by any stretch of the imagination. I am sorry. I thought, I just want to get this done with. I’m willing to sit down and go through every rule on a separate night cause I know we can’t get that done tonight, tomorrow night, in a small allotted time. To go through every rule, it’s gonna take a long time. So again, sorry, trying to make this all work. You figure out what day you want to do it, and I will make sure I’m there for whatever long it takes. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Is there any other Miscellaneous Business for this evening? Besides everybody watching the game tonight. (Laughter) MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Leader. MEMBER SMUCKLER: I move we adjourn. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second.
