I’d like to remind our speakers that you do get three minutes under Public Speaks. And our first speaker is Ms. Kimberly Bell. Ms. Bell, could you please state your name and residential address please. KIMBERLY BELL: Yes, Kimberley Bell 1733 Morris Ave. First, I wanted to give a shout out to gom…Montgomery. And I want to congratulate one of the Council Members who married the most…the…the…the…second most beautiful woman in this part of the map…congratulations. Uh…I left before the…before the uh…(inaudible) but the curfew thing. Mayor you’re not the Prosecutor, you’re the Mayor. Be the Mayor for…for…the Black community because you’re talking about the Black children. Those are the only ones that come to hang out. And…and out…out at that…at that time, ain’t no group of white kids…hanging out. So stop being the Prosecutor and be the Mayor. I mean…what…what…WHBC posted about what you said, I mean what…what happened to democracy, instead of (inaudible). What…what happened…we….we…we so lost. Everybody wants to be in…charge of something. Instead of working together. I gave you a letter about the curfew thing. And I…I gave you some ideas you know. The vote was seven to four. I heard some of the argument with Chris, Kevin, and…and…the…the…other Councilman, Mr. Fisher. I…I mean…you…you didn’t have to put that one on the parents. How you gone hold the parents for something, par…parents that...go…go to work every day. Hardworking single family…uh…homes, single parent homes, how you gone hold that accountable for a child who’s unruly? How you gone put that on their record. Or…or a child’s record at that. I mean stop being the law all the time and…and…and…and…and be a friend. I mean you don’t have to put on a suit and tie…every single day…and…and…and…be a head of something. Everyone wants to be in charge instead of working together. Let’s go back to democracy and stop being so racist and this and that and work with the people. That was uncalled for, with WHBC posting that the vote was seven to so...whatever the vote was. Y’all should’ve worked this out and get…and got it off the parent. Now that was so wrong and shame on…every one of you who voted again…who voted for this. They got more…you got other…and….and…and there’s more other things you can help with the family, other than trying to put…charge them with uh…uh…uh…a crime or…or curfew violation. Or some…it’s more things you can help in the house instead of with this. This was so…petty, bottom line. Petty…sick of y’all. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Ms. Bell. Our last speaker for this evening is Mr. Michael Heard. Mr. Heard could you please state your name and residential address please. MR. HEARD: Michael Heard, 1021 7th St NE Canton, Ohio 44704. I’m here to address uh…the Council about some land. We…I was here three…months ago and uh…I said something…Board of Appeal, which I’m the chairman of it. Uh…we got a house, my wife owns a house right there on the corner of 7th and Gibbs. And uh…we bought a piece of land from the people’s house next door. And by us buying this land, we did not know…that…we inherited the other two lots. The other two lots is where the house sits on that we voted on to tear down. Now, we finding out that…we got to pay for a tear down, which we didn’t mind buy that land from them…you know where the house sit. We bought the lot next to it, but when they did the plotting, they put the other two lots on there which the house was on there. Now it was back taxes on that lot, which I don’t mind paying for, but I don’t want to pay for a house that was tore down, you know which the city already said was gone be tore down. And then they turn around and give us the land. I appreciate the land, I would…I would love to have the land and yes, I agree to it. But not to…for me to pay for you all to tear down that house. I think that the owner of that should have paid for the house being tore down. Even…even though the city or the county, whoever it was. The land people here added the land on to our land and I appreciate that and I thank them for it. But I don’t thank them for getting ready to give me a bill for a house to be tore down on. I don’t think that’s fair. I think that if I have to pay the back taxes, I don’t mind doing that, but I’m not going to pay for a house that you all tore down. And the land was gone sit there anyway until you finally sell it to somebody as a side lot or COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 111 JOURNAL PAGE 252 MINUTES OF THE MEETING AUGUST 21, 2023 you sell it to somebody for a dollar. So now that we do have that land, and we have the lot to it and the other two lots that they gave us. I think that you should take that out. And I been trying to call J.R., but J.R. will not return my call so I can talk to him about it too. Thank you. PRESIDENT SHERER: Mr. Heard, I’m going to encourage you to stick around after the meeting. MR. HEARD: Thank you.
