Our first speaker is Ms. Kimberly Bell. Ms. Bell, could you please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. KIMBERLY BELL: Yes, Kimberly Bell…1733 Morris Avenue…Canton, Ohio. Um… first I want to make sure all members got the email. Should of got an email… President should of got a fax, Mayor. You know… you…Tom… you… you… you were the…the…the…the um… the Law Director, the Prosecutor, you’re an attorney. And you knew it was wrong, you sat here day after day after the shooting and you sat here day after day… knowing the law and didn’t know it was… didn’t… didn’t step up and say we have to reve… reveal the officer’s name. Sat there day after day… and… and withheld that, shame on you. I have said in these… I have sat here and… I’ve studied you. I’ve been to prison. I’ve studied your laws, I went to school for a paralegal, got two degrees, studied your laws, and the result is… you white folks and you just learned a different way… to lynch us. You’re lynching us by… killing us by cop or you’re puttin us in prison… on false… charges. Tomorrow I plan on filing the lawsuit against officer Mark Diehls… and I… I… I see the… the clock wasn’t up there, I’ll… I’ll… I’ll stop… when its… okay. I’m going to file the charge tomorrow against officer… officer Mark Diehls. I’m sure the Law Department and the judge… and the… they’re all going to fight me and say he was right, but he really wasn’t. He didn’t do his job. He didn’t investigate and… and… and… and…and… and… and… and question me first before he filed a false theft charge on me. So… you know Martin Luther King our… our… you know bla… white… a lot… I hear… I hear this from a lot of white people, they say why do we have Black History? Y’all keep making us have Black History doing things like killing another black man. You… That’s where the Black… that’s where Black History is coming from, from what you’re doing. You know I… I… I…. I… I… I… I… Martin Luther King and Malcom and all the other uh… leaders, they fought over the same thing we’re fighting today. Equality, transparency, and systemic racism this should be dead and it’s not, and Mayor you sat there and said nothing. What happen to uh…uh… speaking up when you see something wrong, see something say something. You did not say nothing about that man’s name. We found out on our own, but y’all look at y’all’s emails… cause the t-shirts the… the… the… the family wore will explain the Ohio Revised Code. I studied the law and Mayor here are you here… and that’s why everyone is doing their own homework on you. Here you are with the protestors, here’s some pictures of you with the protestors. Talking about what you was gonna do… and you ain’t did nothing. They all over here, you all over the internet… on TikTok. Have a nice one. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bell. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 83 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 KIMBERLY BELL: You welcome. I… I won’t be here next week. I… Imma take a vacation from y’all cause this is ridiculous… and I will… I will continue to degrade you on social media with liars and everything. PRESIDENT SHERER: Ms. Bell. Thank you, Ms. Bell. KIMBERLY BELL: And I said what I said. PRESIDENT SHERER: Alright, our next speaker will be… and I believe is it Laura Simon. LAURA SIMON: Yes. PRESIDENT SHERER: And Ms… Ms. Simon could you please state your name and res… residential address, please. LAURA SIMON: My name is Laura Simon, I live at 520 32nd Street NW. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. LAURA SIMON: Good evening you all. Imagine my disappointed surprise, when my mom mentioned the Canton Repository article on January 25, 2022, concerning the transfer of the Arthur Cirelli Building to the Canton Community Improvement Corporation for a dollar. The article goes on to say that the City Council met with the Akron Children’s Hospital and the A Altman Company earlier in January 2022, to “discuss the plans for 630 30th Street NW”. The article goes… continues on to report how transferring “the property to the Economic Development Arm, the CCIC, for subsequent transfer to the A Altman company for a dollar”. And voting on the first reading was at the request of Akron Children’s Hospital. Many surprises to me, a citizen of Canton, when I, along with Market Heights Neighborhood Association, opposed the sale of this property to the Stark Metropolitan for a dollar, in February of 2019. And then I spoke up 14 months later when nothing was done with that property last April 2021, to ask for consideration of a dog park for the comm… for the property. No personal response from the… Council, in my public speaking I said I would like to be involved. When one of your citizens says they want to be involved I think you… City Council, should take them up on their offer. After all, the citizen is trying to be involved, but no, you didn’t even contact me. I don’t really know if the building of an Akron Children’s Hospital medical entity is good, bad, right or wrong. That is not the purpose of this me coming here. What I do know is the feeling I get. The whole thing seems rushed. Meeting in early January and only one reading at City Council and then why sell the property to CCIC. Why can’t Canton City sell the property? The article just said the price tag was “well justified”. How? Disappointment doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings in my City Council. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Simon. Our next speaker is Mr. Dan Fonte… Mr. Fonte can you please state your name and residential address please. DAN FONTE: Yes, uh… Daniel Fonte I reside at 4415 Dawnridge Circle NW here in Canton. PRESIDENT SHERER: And you are more than welcome pull… pull your masks down to speak. DAN FONTE: That’s okay, I can do alright. I think my mouths big enough. (Laughter) Uh… Mr. President… uh… Members of Council and the memb… Mayor and the members of the Administration. I come here, some of you know I have a heart for seniors in this community, and I don’t think anybody has suffered more in this community than senior citizens during this pandemic. Every one of you got a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 84 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 and this has been tough for them, very very tough. For me, I didn’t get to see my grandkids... uh… almost two years. Now they live in California… but it was difficult. You know Zoom and FaceTime makes it… it isn’t like holding them. So I missed two years with them. Uh… but there’s a lot of people that is really hurting in this community that are seniors. Now… the Cares Act is going to give Ohio $4.5 billion dollars and the American Rescue Plan is going to give $6.6 billion for thirty-seven cities and eighty-eight counties in Ohio. Now I don’t know what that money is for… but for God sakes if we get some, can we carve out some money for senior citizens who might need help for food, prescriptions. I mean I ran a senior center, which some of you know and I know widows that were cutting their medicine in half. Now… you can’t… when you get a prescription you can’t take half of it. But that’s what they had to do to get through the month. It’s… it’s just unconscionable for me, so I would hope that Council, if you get a chance to carve out some money for seniors… I… and I don’t want it to get somebody that administration fees are going to eat it all up. I mean… one of my favorite charities is Canton Ex-Newsy because all the money they get goes right out. There’s nobody gets anything. So I would hope… that you guys and gals would take a look and think of your own relatives that you know that have suffered… suffered in this time period. And think about can we carve out something to help them and I don’t know what the help would be. I just threw out food and medication. I don’t know, maybe some people need help with their home, fixing it up or something. I don’t know, but that’ll be up to you guys and gals to figure out and I hope you will uh… take that into consideration. I’m going to get off the subject one time, I got thirty seconds. Whoever the hell come up with this back in… parking… oughta fire em. (Laughter) Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Fonte… and our last speaker is uh… Ms. Ida Ross-Freeman. IDA ROSS-FREEMAN: Good evening. PRESIDENT SHERER: Would you please state your name and residential address please. IDA ROSS-FREEMAN: Ida Ross-Freeman, 1129 7th Street NW, Canton, Ohio, still snowed in. Apparently the… plo… the snow plow forgot our street but that’s okay and I am one of those senior citizens that he spoke of. Okay I’m… here because I’m confused on the editorial that was in the paper Sunday. In regard to the police redacted incident report. Was it saying there is two reports, one for the public and one for police department. I’m confused on that. So, hopefully somebody here on Council will check in to that and see if that’s true, cause we shouldn’t have two report. We should have one report. It sounded like somebody was trying to hide something, you know, and I guess they were, they was hiding the name of police officer. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Freeman. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Informal Resolutions. Leader Smuckler… Informal Resolution #23, please. 23. RULES COMMITTEE: AMEND RULE #22 A, COMMUNICATIONS, RESOLUTIONS, AND ORDINANCES PROCEDURES FOR REGULAR MEETING, OF RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANTON, OHIO, 2022-2023 TERM. – RECONSIDERED AND AMENDED MEMBER SMUCKLER: Uh… Before we do that…uh… point of information Mr. President. I will be moving to… reconsider these resolutions. At the request of Member Hawk, who was on the prevailing side… um… last Monday night. So everybody is aware of that and this is at the direction of the Law Director. So uh… I move that we reconsider Resolution #23. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 85 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded to reconsider Informal Resolution #3, rejected on February 7, 2022. Are there any remarks? CLERK WOOD: #23. PRESIDENT SHERER: #23, yes. Are there any remarks on Resolution #23? …Member Giavasis. MEMBER GIAVASIS: Would it be out of order if we asked th…uh… the chair to explain to Council what the reconsideration request is? So everyone fully understands. PRESIDENT SHERER: I don’t believe so. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Majority Leader. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Um… after further review, with the various Councilmen… uh…there was a discussion about these three rules that are before you right now. And we’re hoping to get them passed this evening. To go along with the other rules that were passed last… last Monday night. PRESIDENT SHERER: Is that satisfactory Member Giavasis? MEMBER GIAVASIS: Yes, thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. Are there any additional remarks? …Hearing none, roll call vote please, Madam Clerk. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 11 YEAS, 1 NAYS (MEMBER MORRIS VOTED NO) CLERK WOOD: Eleven yeas, one nay, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: The motion carries. Majority Leader. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President, I move we reconsider Resolution #24. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: Madam Clerk, I believe… did we need to amend Resolution #23? CLERK WOOD: u-mmm PRESIDENT SHERER: I believe we need, Majority Leader I think… MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President, I move that… COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 86 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 LAW DIRECTOR BATES: Exactly. Could I? MEMBER SMUCKLER: Technically, I think we have to reconsider em first and then pass them. CLERK WOOD: Yeah, you did reconsider. Now we are on the amendment. LAW DIRECTOR BATES: Right. Um… just to be clear… I know we call it an amendment. We’re amending the rule, okay… okay? CLERK WOOD: u-mmm LAW DIRECTOR BATES: And reconsider. So, yes we have one vote to reconsider. Everyone has agreed we will reconsider and then if it’s yes you’d like to amend the rule, you don’t have to amend, you know. You are voting to amend the rule to adopt as this. The next vote if you wish to see that amendment change you know… to change the rule, you say yea. If you still don’t wish it, then no. So we do have one more to do on… on this one and then repeat that. MEMBER SMUCKLER: Alright, I understand. Mr. President, I move we amend Resolution #22 by the rule change before everybody. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: And that would be to amend Resolution #23? MEMBER SMUCKLER: Correct. PRESIDENT SHERER: Okay. It’s been moved and seconded to amend Informal Resolution #23 before the copy before each of you. Are there any remarks? …Hearing none, and I’m just going to call roll, Majority Leader. Roll call vote please, Madam Clerk. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 11 YEAS, 1 NAYS (MEMBER MORRIS VOTED NO) CLERK WOOD: Eleven yeas, one nay, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: The ayes have it. The motion carries. Leader Smuckler. 24. RULES COMMITTEE: AMEND RULE #24 B, INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS, OF RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANTON, OHIO, 2022-2023 TERM. – RECONSIDERED AND AMENDED MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President, I move we con…reconsider Resolution #24, which is Rule 24B. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: Majority Leader I believe we need to adopt Informal Resolution #23 as amended. LAW DIRECTOR BATES: I don’t think so, no. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 87 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 PRESIDENT SHERER: No, right? LAW DIRECTOR BATES: No. It’s an amendment to the rule that you just adopted. Which is already in form. It didn’t come down… you know what I mean? It’s already there. CLERK WOOD: To reconsider the amendment with it. PRESIDENT SHERER: So we are moving on, right? Sorry about that Majority Leader. MEMBER SMUCKLER: It’s alright. PRESIDENT SHERER: Do we have a second? MEMBER BABCOCK: Yes. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded… MAYOR BERNABEI: Mr…Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Mayor Bernabei. MAYOR BERNABEI: I… I have a question for the Law Director. Does not the rule require a person on the prevailing side to make the motion? Just for clarification so this does not get…undone next week when we look for the rules. LAW DIRECTOR BATES: Yes. MAYOR BERNABEI: I think that Mr. Hawk is the one that initiated the… the communication and he was on the prevailing side so I think he is the one that should be making the motion rather than the majority leader, I believe. LAW DIRECTOR BATES: We… We just talked about that and this isn’t an Ordinance this is the first time we have ever done a resolution, so it’s a little bit different. By communicating that he wishes it be reconsidered, what I talked about with uh… Majority Leader Smuckler is he is asking to do it. One of my suggestions was that Greg… oh not Greg… Councilman Hawk… (Laughter)… join in the motion with the Majority Leader to… to make that, which certainly we can do. Either way I think it is legally correct … um… Councilman Hawk has asked through a formal communication for all of you to reconsider it. If… he can make the motion by himself, he can make it in connection with Majority Leader Smuckler. Or I believe that actually Majority Leader Smuckler as he announced and Councilman Hawk did not contradict that he was making the motion on his behalf, as a member of the prevailing side, pursuant to the communication. So… I know it’s a little bit of a mishmash but I think it can be legally accomplished eit… either of those ways. The other thing we are getting a little confused about is these rule amendments are here on their own, they are to amend the rule. We’re not amend the resolution, we’re amending the rule. So, I know that sounds like semantics but we are amen… we are… the resolution is to amend Rule 22A and once you vote to amend Rule 22A you don’t have to vote again. You’re voting then to amend Rule 22A. So, not three times we do reconsider and then you’re being asked do you want to amend Rule 22A pursuant to this resolution. It’s either yes or no. We all agreed we would do it by roll call even though we usually do it by voice vote because it is close and there were discussion and so we needed to have it on the record. So I will go with whatever the President uh…and Majority Leader would like to COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 88 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 do. Uh… where we are now if we’d like to have … uh…Councilman Hawk join in the motions, we certainly can have him do that. MEMBER SMUCKLER: I’ve done reconsiderations before, I would prefer you make the amendment and just let’s move on, it’ll save some time. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you very much. Are we on sti…still we’re on Rule 22A? MEMBER SMUCKLER: We’re on #24. MEMBER HAWK: #24. MEMBER SMUCKLER: And… And I would ask if you would make a motion to reconsider. MEMBER HAWK: I… I move that we reconsider it… uh… CLERK WOOD: Rule 24B… MEMBER HAWK: Resolution #24, amending Rule 24B. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded… CLERK WOOD: To reconsider. PRESIDENT SHERER: To reconsider, we’re going… we have to reconsider first. Reconsider Rule 24 rejected on February 7, 2022. Are there any remarks? …Hearing none, roll call vote please, Madam Clerk. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 11 YEAS, 1 NAYS (MEMBER MORRIS VOTED NO) CLERK WOOD: Eleven yeas, one nay, Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: The motion carries and I will defer to Member… Member Hawk. We need to amend. MEMBER HAWK: I move we amend Rule 24B by the copy that all of us have in front of us. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded to amend Rule 24 per the copy before each of you. Are there any remarks? …Hearing none, roll call vote please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 11 YEAS, 1 NAYS (MEMBER MORRIS VOTED NO) CLERK WOOD: Eleven yeas, one nay, Mr. President. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 89 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 PRESIDENT SHERER: The motion carries and Rule 24 is adopted. Rule 25, Member Hawk. 25. RULES COMMITTEE: AMEND RULE #39 G, VOTING PROCEDURES, OF RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANTON, OHIO, 2022-2023 TERM. – RECONSIDERED AND AMENDED MEMBER HAWK: I move we that reconsider Rule 20… excuse me communication 20… Informal… excuse me… Informal Resolution #25. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded to reconsider Rule 25. CLERK WOOD: Rule 30…39G PRESIDENT SHERER: 39G. CLERK WOOD: That’s the rule. PRESIDENT SHERER: Okay, well Resolution 25, which is Rule 39G, right? CLERK WOOD: Correct. PRESIDENT SHERER: Are there any remarks? …Hearing none, roll call vote please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK WOOD: Twelve yeas, Mr. President PRESIDENT SHERER: The motion carries. Member Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: I move that we amend Rule 39G, by copy the… everybody has in front of them. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded to amend Rule 39G per the copy before each of you. Are there any remarks? …Hearing none, roll call vote please.

Uh… they were very appreciative and it was interest in… in a conversation with a resident. One of the residents actually sai… had sai… handed me some money to help donate to it. I think one of the others things we need to point out too that… several downtown businesses also contributed to this. Uh… and the Conestoga room was gracious enough to supply us with some supplies and Carpe Diem coffee also supplied all the coffee for the fir… for the third shift and first shift. And… the all product was purchased within inside the city limits of Canton, Ohio. We spend our money inside our city supporting local business. And I’ll like to thank everybody for to… to… for participating and state that the gentleman out there were very, very happy with what they got. They worked hard, they deserve a little recognition, they truly appreciate it. Member Scaglione… President… President… and Mr… Mr. Smuckler, thank you very much for attending and helping us serve them, thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Member Hawk. MEMBER MORRIS: Mr. President. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 103 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 PRESIDENT SHERER: Member Morris. MEMBER MORRIS: Okay, so we gotta be here… be here a little early next meeting on February 28th because… Service Director wants to tell us about another water increase. Property taxes are up through the roof, okay they went up again. Sewer rates are up, groceries are up ten, fifteen percent across the board and I gotta agree with Dan, our seniors are taking a hit. They’re not getting anything. So Finance Director, if you could kinda tip us off of how much of this ARP funds are unallocated and Mayor if you could let us know what programs we’re working on to help the seniors in the community. Uh… I think that as uh… a Council, I noticed the birthday texts going around, I notice a lot you guys are senior citizens now. You got a little extra bucks in your pocket, but there’s a lot of seniors out there that are really, really hurtin’ and they are your voters. They are our back bone, they’re our educators, they’re the ones that pick up the pieces when everything else folds in the community… you know. They’re your history and it seems like… and it really breaks my heart that we’re constantly seeing our seniors do without and… it’s… it’s no social programs out there. Every time I reach out to somebody for a program, they’re depleted, the funds aren’t there and… this is money from the Federal Government. Let’s help our seniors with this so if Mayor, you could drop me a call sometime this week and we can discuss it. Mark, if you can look into it and Dan, as always I thank you when you come down here and open our eyes to uh… a real obvious problem in the community that seems to go over looked. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Member Morris. MEMBER SMITH: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Member Smith. MEMBER SMITH: I just have a question uh… possibly the Majority Leader could answer for me. I’m just a little confused. Was the wording different when we voted on these three rules, last week that they voted no on or was it any difference? You just decided to uh… okay, I was talking to the Majority Leader. (INAUDIABLE) MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. PRESIDENT SHERER: Majority Leader. MEMBER SMUCKLER: We all have jobs. My job as Majority Leader is to make things work down here. MEMBER SMITH: Okay. MEMBER SMUCKLER: And I appreciate the people that changed their minds after discussing it with me. To see that it was… probably better to move on from where we were to make everybody work in the same direction. When I walked out here last Monday night, I said it’s Valentine’s Day today. Member Smith, I asked for everybody to look inside their hearts and see if we had done what was best, done… possibly last Monday night. I think that we all decided that we all might want to row in the same direction. So, some Council Members changed their minds and I appreciate us all rowing or most of us rowing in the same direction. MEMBER SMITH: Okay, thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Member Smith. Is there any other Miscellaneous Business for this evening?... Before we adjourn, I’d like to remind the Council Members to remain seated until the roll call is completed. Leader…(LAUGHTER) Leader…(LAUGHTER). COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 110 JOURNAL PAGE 104 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 7, 2022 MEMBER SMUCKLER: Mr. President. It’s going to be the death of me, you realize this. (LAUGHTER)… Mr. President, um… I want to highlight something here because I think it was a big shock to most of the people in this room. That we didn’t lose a Ward… and I think that’s reflective of the annexation being done here. Uh… we have one that we are taking 60 something acres in. We have one next week that’s taking businesses spending $10.5 million dollars. I think that there’s some… continually good things that are going on in this community and I know I was shocked we didn’t lose a Ward. But we’ve done a lot of annexations over the last 10 years and no matter who the Mayor’s been or who the Majority Leader’s been or who’s been sitting in this City Council, I think we all have to agree that the City has been growing and it’s a good thing that it has been growing… On that note, I move we adjourn. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT SHERER: It’s been moved and seconded to adjourn. Madam Clerk, roll call vote please. NO REMARKS ROLL CALL 12 YEAS, 0 NAYS CLERK WOOD: Twelve yeas, Mr. President.
