DIR. OF ADMINISTRATION, DIR. OF ECONOMIC DEV., DIR. OF FINANCE AND
DIR. OF LAW.
Mayor: What Carol is referring to is I am actually down in Columbus; my daughter is
going to have her baby tomorrow morning and so we are down here for that and I am
also on a meeting with the City of Stow. I have been requested to join their Mayor’s
Report tonight when it comes up to talk about the Regional Dispatch Center that is
going to be . . . if it does get formed, at the corner of North Avenue and Howe Road.
That is the tentative spot; the old Weaver Workshop area. That is the area that is
owned by Summit County and it has been vetted out for different sites and if a Regional
Dispatch Center would be formed, then that would be the ace site to go with. So, I am
going to be speaking to Stow about that.
The purpose of my talking to Stow is that since we are a contractor with Stow; it is
going to be my request to City Council to allow us to join the Regional Dispatch Center
if one is formed at that location, but that would be subject to City Council. Stow is
asking me about that because we are contracted there now and so what would happen
with the contract with Stow?
They are going to put on the ballot, before the deadline for the November election, to
allow the City of Stow to be able to join a Regional Dispatch Center outside of Stow. It
is currently in their Charter that they have to ask their voters first. With that being said,
that is what I will be speaking on and so if I don’t’ make it to the end of our meeting, that
is the reason why.
VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 25, 20
Mayor (Cont’d.) This week we had the opportunity, several of us, to visit the Summit
DD site; now that is the middle building. That is the old Weaver school building; the
building that is being requested, or we have the opportunity, if we pick that up; that
would go to the City of Tallmadge which would include the ball field in the back and the
soccer fields. But you also have to be careful what you ask for; it is a brick building; it
has a lot of potential, but also a lot of future expenses and so we are going to form a
committee to see if that would be the best option before Council has to decide if we
take it for $1 or not with the liability.
We also had a demo guy with us so we know if we demo the entire thing what that cost
would be. We don’t have that cost yet. So, there is a lot to move on on that. Summit
DD’s goal is to vacate that building sometime in 2021 and so with that, we will move
one.
I am happy to announce that Chief Williams was appointed to a Special Task Force
with the Summit County Sheriff’s and the City of Akron to look at Police Rules and
Regulations and procedures and so he is representing not only the City of Tallmadge,
but the Summit County Chief’s Association. There will be more to come on that.
I really think that is it unless Council has any questions for me?
Mr. Carano: Dave, this is Mike Carano. I was wondering; there is that Ohio
Collaborative that I think seven communities like Green, University of Akron Sheriff’s
Department, and Stow and a few others have done all three of the things on the
collaborative and the last I saw and it was an older document, but it was only one; the
first one. Are they working on the other two?
Mayor: Yes, we are working on all of those with the Collaborative; that is the
committee that is actually on too to help come up with those regulations.
Mr. Carano: I have one more quick question; I think it is called the 1033 Program;
Tallmadge in the past has gotten, I don’t know when that was, but they got some
assault rifles. Do you know how many we have in Tallmadge?
Mayor: Well, we have AR15’s that are in the police cruisers and they also have
shotguns, but we have at least one per vehicle. Is that what you are referring to?
Mr. Carano: Yeah, I didn’t realize they were in the vehicles. It’s been a long time
since I have had a ride in one of those. It was just a question I was asking because I
am a little concerned about, although Tallmadge is not nearly what any other
community is, but the sort of militarization which has gone on over the last 30 years
with Police and the equipment that the Federal Government is putting upon a lot of
these communities. I mean, some have tanks and rocket launchers and things like
that and hopefully we don’t have any of those.
Mayor: No.
Dir. of Pub. Service: Just a real quick update on our Parks. As of right now, the
parks are as open as they have been in months. The tennis courts are open. The
baseball fields have been open; the playgrounds, all except for Maca, and that is
closed for construction purposes, but the playgrounds are open and this week,
the basketball courts have been open. We still have to practice the CDC and the
Ohio Responsible Guidelines in these facilities.
Moving on to the Rec Center, I would like to share a slide with you. Can you guys see
that?
Mr. Carano: Yup.
Dir. of Pub. Service: So, starting July 6th, our fitness classes are coming back and as
you can see it is quite a variety and also some cycling to yoga. So that should really
help get some people back in the Rec Center. The Rec Center hours are Monday
through Thursday 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and then we close until 3:00 p.m. and then
we are open again from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Friday we are open from 6:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. and Saturday, we are open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and we are closed
Sunday. Again, we are hoping that these fitness classes . . . we are going to have to
play off the hip here because it could change daily on what is successful and what
instructors we can get, but that is a stop in the right direction.
No childcare as of yet. They are still not there yet with that.
Ord. 48-2020; I have to go out for bid for the trash and recyclables and I showed
this slide back in January and it shows our quarterly rate down there in yellow and then
the boxes below you can see the current rates from everybody that have just recently
gone out to bid and it looks like it jumps up a good $10 to $15 across the board all
except for Green. So, just something to be aware of and we should probably be letting
the residents know that. There is a good possibility that it is going to go up by about
that much.

VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 25, 20
Pres. of Council: Mr. Rorar, do you happen to know what our renewal is going to be
with Republic, or do you know when you will get that renewal from them?
Dir. of Pub. Service: We won’t get that until we go out to bid. They have to bid again.
That’s it for my report. Are there any questions? No one responded. Thank you.
Dir. of Administration: Good evening everyone. Just quickly I wanted to make sure
you are aware that as of July 1st; City Hall is going to begin to allow public entry
without an appointment between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We want
to, the Mayor has made it clear, he wants the public to have increased and improved
access to City Hall and so we are doing everything we can to plan for that to be done
as safely as possible.
We have devised a plan that we are going to be publicly distributing probably next
Monday at the latest and maybe tomorrow at the earliest to give all of the employees
and yourselves an idea of the plan that is in place to do that.
Real quickly, basically reception will be held in the lobby on the main entrance to City
Hall and there will be a receptionist placed there to try to address the needs of any
visitor that shows up at City Hall. There will be a telephone there so they can contact
someone and bring the employee down to meet them if necessary, but mostly what we
think we will be doing is guiding them through a way to via telephone or e-mail take
care of their business. That is what our emphasis is going to be on is to kind of get
them help without them moving further into the building for everyone’s safety.
So, the pedestrian foot traffic flow is going to change. It is basically at the reception
area and then we are going to bring employees to them, and they might meet in a large
area like Council chambers if they actually had to do a face to face meeting. Once you
receive that, I am open to any questions or suggestions you may have to make this as
safe as possible for our employees as well as visitors to the building.
I also just wanted to bring to your attention that seven states reported new highs for the
current Coronavirus hospitalizations according to a number of sources including the
CDC and WHO. Ohio is not among them; you will be happy to know, however, it is
Arizona, Arkansas, California, North Caroline and South Caroline, Tennessee and
Texas. What you might be interested to know that Ohio is experiencing a spike
currently in southwest Ohio around the Cincinnati area as of today and they expect it is
from things that have occurred a couple of weeks ago as we started to open up and
there seems to have been less attention in that part of the state to some of the social
distancing and wearing a mask and public things like that and so we are again, getting
information from the acting Director of Public Health in Ohio and also the Governor to
remember the very basics. Although we are sick of the Coronavirus, it is not done with
us and so we all need to be aware that we need to be maintaining social distance and
wear our mask in public. That’s all for me unless you have questions. Thank you.
Mr. Carano: Madame President, I have a question for Dr. Cooper. Don, I see where
Crown Castle; are we hooked up to that in the City now; is that where we are getting
our internet through?
Dir. of Administration: So, Crown Castle is an infrastructure provider and so they
provide connectivity. The City has been working over the last year really to get its
internet service from Fairlawn Gig. Although I don’t believe it is fully activated yet, we
have been testing and we are connected to Fairlawn Gig and we are working out the
details now. Hopefully in the very near future, we will be fully dependent on them and
they will be our internet service provider; Fairlawn Gig which will for just a little bit more
money, will just about . . . it will significantly increase our band width so that we can do
many more things in the City and things like this would be faster and without error.
Mr. Carano: One more question I guess; the contract with the present one; when does
that expire; is that the end of the year? You may not remember off the top of your
head.
Dir. of Administration: Our present contractor for our internet service expires at the
end of the year I believe, and we have a contract that will start with Fairlawn Gig which
starts on July 1st. So, the reason for the 6-month overlap is to work out any bugs and
make sure that everything is working correctly before we stop the existing contract.
Mr. Carano: I would like to applaud the work that you have done on that and bringing
that forward. I think that is very important. I don’t know, because of the Covid thing if
finances make things more difficult now, but if in the future, if ever Tallmadge could
provide that for the whole City particularly with the way Net neutrality is being
challenged by the large corporations who want to control; they will be able to control the
3
VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 25, 20
Mr. Carano (Cont’d.) speed and they are now doing content with providing of internet;
it will be a real mess and actually it will be very limiting in many ways in my opinion on
our democratic ability to get information. So, I just want to applaud you on the work
that you are doing. Thank you very much.
Dir. of Econ. Development: Good evening. Just very briefly; we continue to reach
out and engage with our business owners. We have met with several developers in the
last week just to kind of check in on some of the development projects that were in the
pipeline prior to Covid, but we anticipate some action here in the near future.
We are also still awaiting announcement from the Greater Akron Chamber on the Small
Business Grants. Tallmadge received over $300,000 in small business support so
again we are waiting for that official announcement.
As you probably saw, Leppo did finish their concrete pour. They have an official
ribbon-cutting ceremony and it is going to be scheduled for Monday, August 24th at 2:00
p.m. and we will make sure that all the leadership team, City Council as well as the
Tallmadge Chamber receives an invite for that event. Again, that is Monday, August
24th at 2:00 p.m. and unless there are any questions, that would conclude my brief
report this evening.
Mr. Loughry: This is Dennis. Do we have any update, yet actually on three things; the
opening of Meijer’s and Menards; a projected date of when there may be a light
installed at Washburn and East Avenue; and residents are asking what is going on in
the Brimfield portion of that development where they are tearing down the houses; what
is projected to go where the houses are now?
Dir. of Econ. Development: Yes, all three great questions. In terms of the Meijer’s
and Menards opening; let me follow up with our contact. The last time we had
communication with at least the reps for Menards, they were still quite uncertain as to
when their official opening would be. So, let me get a concrete date for you on that.
Really the same things hold true for the Meijer’s; they are uncertain when that official
opening would take place, but I will search for that answer for you.
In terms of the Washburn intersection, let me check with the Mayor and our Service
Director and get some information on that and we will be happy to share that with
Council and then lastly, the houses that are being demolished as we speak that are
inside Brimfield Township located right there would be to the west of the Menards; it is
our understanding that those are commercially zoned properties and as you stated,
they were single-family homes in many cases in pretty poor condition and so the
DeHoff Development Group does have title to those properties and those will be slated
for some sort of commercial activity at some point in the future.
Mr. Loughry: Thank you.
Mayor: Madame Chair, if I could, I will speak on the Washburn intersection. GPD,
who is our engineer for the ODOT project; we are working with them for the design of
that intersection. The traffic light will be earmarked to be installed in 2021; probably the
second or third quarter of 2021. A lot of stuff has to go on that I have to bring to
Council to get the engineering funds. We are looking at doing a Residential TIF from
the Ripley farm to pay for that intersection, so we are getting an engineer’s estimate
and it is about slightly under $1 million for that intersection to be tied in with a traffic
light.
Pres. of Council: Normally we would go to the Director of Finance, but she is out of
town, so we will go to the Director of Law; Mrs. Raber.
Dir. of Law: Thank you. I have no report this evening.
Mr. Loughry: Could I ask a question of Mrs. Raber?
Pres. of Council: Yes, you may.
Mr. Loughry: Would you please just, whenever there is something at all to report on
the lawsuit that we were part of with the City of Akron; whenever there is an update to
just provide it. That’s all. Apparently, I don’t think there is, but I just wanted to ask;
that’s all.
Dir. of Law: Sure. The latest pre-trail was kicked back again to the end of July, I
believe, so there has been no movement at this point.
Mr. Loughry: Thanks.
Pres. of Council: Before we go on to Item 12, I am remiss to the fact that I skipped
over Item 7, which was Community Input and because of the Coronavirus, we are
asking that if anybody had community input that they were to e-mail or contact our
Council Clerk by a certain time and I do not have any information from any of the
community, so I just wanted to put that out there as well and now we will go onto to
Item 12.

VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING

12. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES OF COUNCIL OF THE WHOLE:
a. PLANNING & ZONING
James Donovan, Chair
Craig Sisak, Vice Chair
Dennis Loughry
• Ord. 47-2020 (1st Reading) – Approving and granting a conditional
zoning certificate to applicant/owner Rodney Myers/Myers Iron Sales
and Rental, LLC for use as a public storage garage at 1392 Newton
Street (Parcel No. 60-10480).
Mr. Loughry: So, I guess I have a question for Mrs. Raber and that is; can we
have a committee meeting with only one member?
Dir. of Law: Yeah, I mean this is just . . . it is committee of the whole, so you
are not going to really recommend anything tonight; you will just give it 1st
Reading anyways, so that’s fine.
Mr. Loughry: So, I will open our committee. I am present and Mr. Donovan
and Mr. Sisak are both absent and excused this evening. We have Ord. 47-
2020 at 1st Reading, and we would just recommend that we just give that a 1 st
Reading. Anything else for Planning & Zoning? No one responded. I close
committee.
b. COMMUNITY ISSUES
Dennis Loughry, Chair
Jonathon Bollas, Vice Chair
Rebecca Allman
No legislation at this time.
Mr. Loughry: I call Community Issues to order; myself, Mr. Bollas and Mrs.
Allman are all present. We have no legislation. Does the committee have
anything to ask or to speak on? No one responded.
Mr. Bollas: I’m sorry; I have nothing to report this evening.
Mrs. Allman: I have nothing.
Mr. Loughry: Does Council have anything for Community Issues? No one
responded. Administration? No one responded. I will close committee.
c. SAFETY
Jonathon Bollas, Chair
Michael Carano, Vice Chair
Craig Sisak
No legislation at this time.
Mr. Bollas: I call the Safety Committee to order; myself and Mr. Carano are
present. Mr. Sisak is not present this evening. Does anybody have anything
for the Safety Committee?
Mr. Carano: Not me. Thank you.
Mr. Bollas: Alright. Thank you.
Mr. Loughry: I would like to bring one thing up if I could. You know, a lot of
communities do their Charter reviews at different times. I think typically every
10 years. Some are ahead of us; some follow us, but with Akron; we tend to
follow a year or so after Akron and Akron is looking at doing some different and
unique things regarding Civil Service to help and encourage more diversity
within their public safety services and so I forwarded; it was just a Beacon
Journal article, for our folks to look at and I also made our Civil Service
Chairman aware of that and so that’s all. There are a lot of communities
looking to do different things. That’s all.
Mr. Carano: Just to add to Dennis’ statement, those were great thoughts there
Dennis and I really appreciate that. I know like the population in Tallmadge is
by far predominantly white; I don’t know how many people of color we have on
our Police or Fire Departments, but diversity is a very important thing I think and
at one time I thought I would try . . . I mean this is something you may consider;
it would be another thing where it is a resolution that doesn’t seem to have a
bite or anything I know, but many communities across this country have made
themselves a welcoming community and that is in terms of people of color, or
LGBT people to show the openness of the community through diversity. It is
just something that we might want to consider. That’s all. Thank you.

c. SAFETY (Cont’d.)
Jonathon Bollas, Chair
Michael Carano, Vice Chair
Craig Sisak
Mayor: Mr. Bollas, just so you understand the Charter Review Board; per the
Charter, and I have to pick them by the end of this year, by November, for the
Charter Review who make the recommendations what is going to be on the
ballot in next year’s election.
Mr. Bollas: OK. Thank you for that.
Mayor: We do have a couple of people so far, but we will take that under

Mr. Bollas: OK. Thank you again. Is there anything else for the Safety
Committee this evening? No one responded. Thank you and I close
committee.
d. PUBLIC SERVICE
Rebecca Allman, Chair
Dennis Loughry, Vice Chair
James Donovan
• Ord. 46-2020 (1st Reading) – An ordinance to approve, adopt and
enact the 2020 replacement pages to the Codified Ordinances; to
repeal ordinances in conflict therewith, to publish the enactment of
new matter, and providing for immediate enactment.
Mrs. Allman: I call the Public Service Committee to order; myself and Mr.
Loughry are present. Mr. Donovan is excused. We have before us Ord. 46-
2020 at 1st Reading and it is an ordinance to approve, adopt and enact the 2020
replacement pages to the Codified Ordinances; to repeal ordinances in conflict
therewith, to public the enactment of new matter, and providing for immediate
enactment. Mr. Loughry; do you have anything?
Mr. Loughry: I have a quick question, or maybe a couple questions for Mrs.
Raber and one is; would she like to have this adopted this evening, and if we do
adopt it with five; is it better to just give it a 1st Reading and then to adopt it at
our next meeting when we have six or more?
Dir. of Law: The latter. We will just wait, and I don’t mind and actually I think it
should be available to everyone. Really this just basically codifies what Council
has already adopted in the previous year and then there are the three additional
items which are listed which made changes to our traffic code and criminal code
sections. Two of them are minor changes and they all came from the same
House Bill; House Bill 166 from the 133rd General Assembly, but the biggest
change would be the change reflected in Chapter 537 which basically is the
codification of the State’s version of the “Not Under 21”, which we had been
supportive of anyway. So, there is really nothing different or nothing really
substantially new I guess I would say except for the Not Under 21, which now
just reflects what the State had already adopted, which again, we had been in
support of that initiative previously anyway. Just give it a reading today.
Mr. Loughry: I would recommend that we just give it a reading this evening
Mrs. Allman.
Mrs. Allman: Me too. Anyone else want to add to this? No one responded.
• Ord. 48-2020 (1st Reading) – Authorizing the Mayor to advertise and
solicit bids for City-wide trash and recycling collection, to enter into a
contract therefore, and providing for immediate enactment.
Mrs. Allman: We also have Ord. 48-2020 at 1st Reading authorizing the Mayor
to advertise and solicit bids for City-wide trash and recycling collection, to enter
into a contract therefore, and providing for immediate enactment. Mr. Loughry;
do you have anything?
Mr. Loughry: Basically, I guess my questions would be the same. I don’t
know if there is a rush to do this, but there may be a timeline that we need to
watch.
Mayor: We are only asking for 1st Reading.
Mrs. Allman: OK. Thank you. I close committee.

VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 25, 20
e. FINANCE
Craig Sisak, Chair
James Donovan, Vice Chair
Michael Carano
No legislation at this time.
Mr. Carano: I would like to open the Finance Committee; Chair, Craig Sisak
and Vice Chair, James Donovan are absent and excused. We have no
legislation before us at this time. Does anyone on Council have anything to
add? No one responded. Administration?
Mayor: Mr. Carano, at our Special Council meeting we passed a resolution
authorizing us to be able to accept the funds for the CARES Act for the safety
forces salaries and that money did go to Summit County and all of our paper-
work is in for us to receive it; we are just not sure yet . . . the rules are not
out on how we are allowed to spend it. So, until they finalize that rule; we are
not fully convinced that we are able to use it the way it was intended to be used.
Things are going back and forth on a daily basis, but I am pretty confident that
we will get to the end result and we will be able to get that for the safety forces.
Thank you.
Mr. Carano: Let’s hope that there will be a lot of leeway so we can use it for
ways that will fill any holes we may have because of the Covid. At this point if
there is nothing else; I would like to close committee.

•
Ord. 42-2020 (2nd Reading) – Extending the training period for Utility
Billing Technician position to 120 days and providing for immediate
enactment.
Mr. Carano: I call the Personnel Committee; myself, Vice Chair, Rebecca
Allman Jonathon Bollas is present. We have before us two ordinances and if I
might, before I begin, if I could ask Megan if both of these should go to a 3rd
Reading because of the public hearing?
Mayor: Yes.
Dir. of Law: Yes, if these two could possibly stay together please.
Mr. Carano: That’s what I wondered. So, Ord. 42-2020 is at 2nd Reading and
is extending the training period for Utility Billing Technician to 120 days and
providing for immediate enactment. Members are in agreement to give this a
3rd Reading. I take the silence as a yes. Both members answered yes. Then I
would like to recommend just giving this a 2nd Reading until our next meeting on
July 9th.
• Ord. 43-2020 (2nd Reading) – Establishing the number of non-collective
bargaining employees by department and position pursuant to R.C.
731.08 and providing for immediate enactment.
Mr. Carano: We also have before us Ord. 43-2020; I should have asked if
there were any comments on these. I guess that is no problem. This is at 2nd
Reading and is establishing the number of non-collective bargaining employees
by department and position pursuant to R.C. 731.08 and providing for
immediate enactment and as advised by Megan again; if there are any
comments by the people on committee or Council at Large or the
Administration?
Mayor: Mr. Carano, just for the record, Civil Service did meet and made a
recommendation for the approval of that after the 3rd Reading and after the
public hearing.
Mr. Carano: So, we will take a vote; no, we are not going to take a vote; we will
just move this to 3rd Reading. Thank you very much. I close committee.
