And I would like to remind our speakers tonight that you do have three minutes. So Miss Bell, could you please state your name and residential address, please. KIMBERLY BELL: Yes. Um, Kimberly Bell, 1733 Morris Avenue. Um, at… over the weekend I was… I was very hos… I was very upset that something I seen on… on Facebook and… thank you… uh, Mr. Giavasis, you and your father. This is the first time I’ve ever ran for office, and stopping in to see you and your father COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 111 JOURNAL PAGE 40 MINUTES OF THE MEETING FEBRUARY 6, 2023 today kinda cleared a couple things up for me, you know. And, you know, all my life I’ve had to fight, and I had to fight for Kim, and so at all costs I was gonna win this election. I don’t care who I was gonna tear down. And… and I was really gonna do some damage and thank you. It’s… it’s… it’s nice to be in the presence of greatness, you and your father. I mean, I had more to say, but that right there, that should of said it all. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Miss Bell. Our next speaker is Mr. David Kerestes. Mr. Kerestes, could you please state your name and residential address, please. DAVID KERESTES: My name is David Kerestes. I live at 1019 25th Street NW. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you. DAVID KERESTES: I’d like to thank you for your time tonight. I’m here because I was put into what I believe is Stark Metropolitan Housing. This place had rubble and tires, things of… just totally flabbergasted me. I was told what a great place it was. I was never shown the place and they had me sign a lease, took me out there and my jaw hit the ground. Um, and this lease here, it says they cannot violate any building codes, health codes or anything. This place looks trash. Then I walk in there, I see wiring violations, I see railing systems from the second floor down to the landing is cracked. From the landing down to the first floor, it’s only twenty-four inches, when the minimal requirement’s thirty. Then I go over into the landing where they got tile that’s not fastened down, slippery, broken and there’s no hand railing on the slippery tile as well. I’m ADA rated with metal knees. Um, as well as the railing system out on the front porch isn’t an inch and a half wide tubing. I called Rick Hoffman, tried to get some help. After I called him, the next day I had a letter put on my door telling me I had to get out because I was wrecking this place. And I look at the contract, it said I moved in on the first, and some Mrs. Turner notarized this. So I had to go down to the Refuge of Hope and get a letter from Supervisor Clay who told them that I never moved out till the 23rd, so the three weeks that I was there trashing the place, I was never there. We were just in court. I don’t know how that ruling’s gonna go cause I never got to present all of my evidence on that day in court. So I’m wondering, what’s a flounderance of law? What’s a mockery of justice? Maybe when I’m pro se in the Massillon Court and they’re telling me I’m gonna throw you in jail and get you a lawyer, and I came pro se. Then I tell Mr. Elum that they’re under violations of Chapter 505-491. He tells me there’s no such thing. (Laughs) Ah, so when I look and read law and I’m pro se, and if you’re pro se, law don’t apply, it’s just a mockery of justice, isn’t it? Is it not? In 2010 I walked into a court in Canton with Mr. Hoffman who told me to sit down, stand up and get out. Never had a chance to speak there either. Same thing happened to me when I got kicked off the bus garage. Couldn’t talk there either, couldn’t present any evidence. And that’s all I’m gonna give you and I’ll get a lawyer in the morning. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Mr. Kerestes. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Informal Resolutions and we have no Informal Resolutions for this evening.
