Reports of Administrative Officers: a. Mayor/Director of Safety Mayor: Thank you for all of the good comments in Executive Session. • 153rd Memorial Day ceremony. • 2021 Farmers Market starts June 17th through October 14th on Thursday’s from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Tallmadge Rec Center • Music on the Circle is returning, and the first concert is the Diamond Project; for the Neil Diamond folks. It is June 19th at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Time Machine that will perform on Saturday, July 24th and then we will wrap up with the Akron Symphonic Wind on Saturday, August 21st. • We had the Final Phase I construction plans turned in today for our review and that is for Site Plan, and we hope to get a cheap GMP (gross maximum price) within the next week and a half and once we get that, then we will be out for contract and breaking ground and all of Council will be invited for that. • If you have been by Fire Station 1 there is a firefighter sitting on the bench out there and this is a part of a series for safety messages that will be out each month and he is also out there promoting applications for full-time firemen and part-time until June 24th. • Meeting about broadband. Summit County is going to use the funds; the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) of 2021 to do an outer ring which is the fiber optic that will be put in by Summit County and that will be Fairlawn Gig and as you can see going down South Avenue to the Tallmadge Circle and up through Munroe Falls and into Stow going next to the Joint Dispatch Center and beside City Hall. The good news is that that band will be installed and then our study that we have in front of Council which is Ord. 64-2021, will allow us to take the next step and to tie-off of that band and provide fiber optic for the citizens strategically throughout the city once the study is done. • I want to say hats off; we had a situation at the Tallmadge Rec Center of a gentleman playing basketball who had a cardiac arrest and I know that Mr. Rorar has that in his report, but hats off to our team at the Rec Center and I am happy to say that the gentleman, after our staff performed CPR for 6 minutes until the squad got there; they got the guy successfully alive at the hospital and today I heard he was having the tubes taken out and he should be able to walk out of the hospital. That’s all I will say, but hats off to Dan and Mike Rorar’s team out there. • Today around 2:30 p.m. there was a car versus bicycle wreck on Northeast Avenue between Locust and Morningview, not Morningview, but right down the hill right down from Locust and the State Highway Patrol was there investigating and our thoughts and prayers go out to the bicyclist, a 12-year- old person who is in the hospital. • Lastly, this is our final virtual meeting thank goodness so I can get back to my computer. All our meetings; we actually had a Board of Zoning Appeals live this past Tuesday, and it went very well, and we will see you guys back in the chambers at our next meeting. b. Director of Administration: • I have no formal report, but I am happy to answer questions if you have any. c. Director of Public Service: • Zoning Department had 94 total permits issued. 34 of which were zoning certificates which was matched by 34 street opening permits. • Code Enforcement – We had 58 open violation cases. • Code Update – June 30th joint Work Session with Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission. • Cemetery – 7 total burials 5 of which were full and 2 cremains. • Rec Center – Membership is 5,984 and this is down and that is the normal trend at this time of year because of the weather improving. We are averaging about 295 people per day. • Before and After Care for 2021/2022 school year is full which is great. Masks are no longer required for the members or staff plus the tables and chairs are back out and the water fountains are open, pick-up basketball has started again and then ages 13 and older are allowed back in the facility without their parents.  VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 10, 21 • Upcoming Events – June 7th Summer Camp started. • Music on the Circle – the Diamond Project. • June 26th – E-Sports Tournament. These are big; they are computer gaming situations, and this is the first for us doing the tournament. • In the parks, summer camp has started. • Prime Timers activities are back at the Community Center this month. • Maca Pool memberships are 1,830. We lifted the 500-person maximum because the pandemic rules have changed. • Cardiac arrest at the Rec Center. • Pool – Good to see everybody out there using it. The pool looks great. • Pickle Ball at Lions Park, you can see the nets have been added there and there are two tennis courts that are open. • Street Department – 13 tons of street debris from the sweepings. That is an EPA mandate. • 750 lineal feet of ditch work was done. • 5 culvert replacements. • 3 catch basin replacements. • City Paving Program is ongoing. • Concrete Street Program is still ongoing. The issue there has been the rain. • Street Department – Moved into the public work sector and so they have done the mulch at City Hall and cemetery and installed the flowers and I believe it was 200 pots that they either planted or hung around the city. They also started Community Gardens where they prepped the area as well as laid out the plots. • Water Department – One water main break and we believe that was self- inflicted from the hydrant flushing. The hydrant flushing was completed in a timely manner. We have 7 hydrants that are out of commission due to that. • Sewer Backups – We had none. • Televised 3,000 lineal feet of sewer as well as cleaned over 5,000 lineal feet. • Maca Pool, if you are looking at that picture there, we are looking down. In 2019 we had a leak of about 3,000 gallons a day. It was actually in one of the pipes that feeds the slide and we got that repair done and the leak is down to a couple hundred gallons loss a year and that could be for any reason; for the restrooms running. • The Leak Seekers are in town and that is the group that comes out and listens to all of our waterlines and they find the leaks that we can’t find that are underground and don’t ever reveal themselves. This time we only had 3 leaks. Pres. of Council: I had two things real quick. You did mention the asphalt program is complete. Discussion about calls received from residents regarding the road being bumpy. I did have another question too about on the Ferguson end of it where the seam comes together in the center, it looks like there is a pretty big gap right there. Are we going to have that filled before winter, so water doesn’t go in there? Dir. of Pub. Service: I will take another look. Pres. of Council: Also, if you could address how soon we will be getting those manholes fixed because there are a lot of them on that street. My next question has to do with the fire hydrants that are out. Do you have a timeline as to when those will be fixed? Dir. of Pub. Service: I do not have a timeline, but knowing Darrel Stineman, the Superintendent has that on his radar and I’m sure that is a priority for him. d. Director of Economic Development: • We have heard a lot about the JEDD and Maplecrest specifically and this is 70 acres of industrial land directly behind Meijer and Menards and so we are pleased to announce, if you haven’t heard already, that Hamrick Packaging Systems, a local company that is currently operating in Suffield Township has been there since 1975 and they have put on about 13 additions and just frankly outgrew their space so they have signed a contract and they are moving  VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 10, 21 d. Director of Economic Development (Cont’d.) forward with a development of about 8.3 acres and this is going to represent about a 65,000 square foot build and it represents about just over $6.5 million. Hamrick will be retaining the 4,700 positions that they currently have and then over the next three years they will be growing and so we are looking to be adding 15 new positions to the company. That represents about a $4.5 million annual payroll. They were eligible for an Enterprise Zone Abatement. It does not impact the Tallmadge City Schools, but they will receive that financial incentive through Portage County. Hamrick is going to take the 8.5 acres and the larger tract of land to the left of it is about 30 acres and I can say that that also has an active letter of intent for that property, and so we believe there is going to be an announcement for that site in the near future as well and there is going to be more activity in the near future. Mr. Loughry: I just want to congratulate Matt because these things don’t just happen. Sometimes they fall into your lap, but typically there is some elbow grease on our end and so congratulations Matt and thanks for all your hard work. Dir. of Econ. Development: Well, we would be foolish not to acknowledge our partners in the JEDD. Certainly, Mike Ladd in Brimfield. They did a lot of work on this project. Mr. Bollas: Mr. Springer: are you involved at all, or will you be involved even from an awareness perspective on the Dunbar property going out for bid for auction? Dir. of Econ. Development: I guess I have to defer to the Mayor. Mayor: The only comment I will have is that we are in dialogue with the Tallmadge School District’s Steve Wood asking for our intent and what we would like to see happen there. e. Director of Finance: You have received your financial reports for the month of May. I did write a long explanation about how some of those payments are potentially one-time sources of revenue. I also included in there, just to keep you updated on what is going on in the State Legislature. We may see some volatility in terms of refund requests in those items. I do think in the next couple years that we will see income tax volatility especially in the refund area. f. Director of Law: I did just want to briefly address Council about the status of the continuation of the possibility of virtual meetings. Since this is our last virtual meeting, just to advise you that there is some discussion amongst municipalities who had hoped that the State Legislature would move forward with allowing the option and local discretion as to whether meetings can be held virtually and while I understand that we may not want to do that with certain meetings like City Council and some of our Planning & Zoning meetings; there are benefits to some of those smaller public meetings that we have to be able to do it virtually and not have to travel and giving more convenience for professionals. We have engineers and architects and professionals that are retained by people that have to come from far distances for things. It worked well in some respects; there were definitely some problems with it in some respects with technology, but it is something to look at moving forward. Mr. Loughry: So, since we are going to be putting the recommendations of the Charter Review Committee on the ballot or we will vote to do that, does Council still have the prerogative to add something like that; an additional item to the ballot and will you give us guidance or a recommendation on whether or not you think we should do that? Dir. of Law: Yeah, I think you know, I need to hear from you all or somebody needs to ask to sponsor that and then we could move forward with that. At this point my recommendation would be to maybe see the direction that it goes.  VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 10, 21 Dir. of Law (Cont’d.) So, the answer is yes; you can do that. The answer is that you do not need to necessarily do it in the same time period that we are doing these other Charter Review items. It is always the prerogative of the Council to put forth a Charter amendment and so you could do that at a later time as well. Pres. of Council: You had mentioned that there are many times that engineers, and experts that travel long distances in order to speak at the meetings; do we need to have something if we were to choose to maybe do a hybrid where like the commission meets here at City Hall and then have the expert you know call in through their computer to present their case. Would you have legislation to do something like that. Dir. of Law: So, our Charter mentions it in one location which is under the Council meetings, and it mentions that they all need to be open meetings. It doesn’t really say . . . yes, it is something that we can consider as well. Right now, I would say that we cannot have a member of a body not be counted as being present and by doing it virtually. There is some discussion of cities that are contemplating allowing members to log in and discuss things, but then they wouldn’t be counted as quorum, and they wouldn’t be counted in a vote. So, there are a lot of different hybrid formats that are being thrown out there too, so again, I just kind of wanted to let you know that these discussions are happening, and I didn’t want you to think that it is not on my radar. I am looking at it and I would be happy if any of you have specific concepts as to what you would like to see or have a model that you would be interested in pursuing you know, please free to talk to me and then I can dig into it further. But I don’t know that I will have a firm opinion on it I guess in the short term just because it is really unsettled. 10. Reports of Standing Committees of Council of the Whole: a. Planning and Zoning James Donovan, Chair Craig Sisak, Vice Chair Mr. Sisak: I call the Planning & Zoning Committee to order. We do not have any legislation at this time. Does anybody from the committee have anything? No one responded. Hearing none, I will go ahead and close committee. i. Additional Items: None. b. Finance Craig Sisak, Chair James Donovan, Vice Chair i. Second readings of Resolutions and Ordinances A. Ord. 64-2021 – Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with the Environmental Design Group for the Broadband Infrastructure Implementation Study and Consulting Services, appropriating necessary sums, and providing for immediate enactment. Mr. Sisak: I would like to call the Finance Committee to order. We currently have Ord. 64-2021 at 2nd Reading. Ord. 64-2021 was read into the record. I believe the Mayor asked for a 2nd Reading on this. Does anyone have any comments at this time? Pres. of Council: I would give it a 2nd Reading. Mr. Sisak: I do have a question for the Mayor. The outer loop of that broadband that they will be putting in; is that aerial or is that going to be an underground utility? Mayor: That will all be underground. I think it is 99% underground. There might be some locations that might have to go up. i. First readings of Resolutions and Ordinances A. Ord. 72-2021 – Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with East End Welding, LP for a New Jobs Program Grant pursuant to T.C.O. 160.05 and providing for immediate enactment.  VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 10, 21 Mr. Sisak: We also have Ord. 72-2021 at 1st Reading. Ord. 72-2021 was read into the record. Mayor, is this something that you wanted completed here tonight, or no? Mayor: I will defer to Matt. I would think that we could just give it a 1st Reading. Dir. of Econ. Development: Yeah, I don’t think it is urgent that we pass it this evening. As a little bit of a background, East End Welding has been in the community since I believe 1949 and so going on just over 7 decades. East End Welding was a distressed company, and I don’t think most people knew that. They were acquired earlier this year by the Reserve Group who is another local business corporation that acquires troubled businesses within the industrial sector. They currently employ about 83 individuals, and they are looking to add about 16 new individuals to the company and they are investing quite a bit of money back into the organization. So, they had submitted a New Jobs application in which, if it is approved by Council, and again, it doesn’t need to be done this evening, but if it is approved by Council, we would be looking at just for the new jobs that are being created not retroactively to the 83 that already exist. Mr. Sisak: Great. Thank you for that. Are there any questions regarding Ord. 72- 2021? No one responded. Hearing none; is there anything else to come before the Finance Committee? Pres. of Council: No, I would just suggest that we give Ord. 72-2021 a 1st Reading. Mr. Sisak: OK; that fine. I will go ahead and close committee. ii. Additional Items: None. c. Personnel Christopher Grimm, Chair Rebecca Allman, Vice Chair i. Third readings of Resolutions and Ordinances A. Ord. 70-2020 – Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the Tallmadge Part-Time Firefighters Association consisting of Tallmadge Part-Time Firefighters and providing for immediate enactment. Mr. Grimm: Before us this evening is Ord. 70-2020. Ord. 70-2020 was read into the record. This was brought before Council in October of 2020 and then we tabled it on January 14th until today. Pres. of Council: Just a point of order; I am going to abstain from any type of discussion on this ordinance because my husband is a Part-Time Firefighter. Mr. Grimm: OK. We did have an Executive Session earlier pertaining to the details of the contract. There is an old saying about negotiations that if nobody is happy then it is a good contract and I think that may be the case here. As Council is aware, we are not getting everything we wanted and we are going to end up compensating the Part-Time Firefighters with a 3%, 2-1/2% and 2-3/4% I believe it is over those next 3 years. Any discussion from Council pertaining to this ordinance? Mr. Sisak: Mr. Grimm, I would recommend that we move for adoption. Seconded Mr. Loughry. Roll Call: Mrs. Allman - yes, Mr. Bollas- yes, Mr. Grimm – yes , Mrs. Kilway – abstain, Mr. Loughry – yes, Mr. Sisak – yes. Ord. 70-2020 is adopted by a vote of 5-0. Is there anything else to come before Personnel? Mr. Sisak: Point of order. The vote would be 5 to 0 with one abstention. Mr. Grimm: OK; 5 to 0 with one abstention. Hearing nothing else, I will close the committee. ii. Additional Items: None. d. Community Issues Dennis Loughry, Chair Jonathon Bollas, Vice Chair Mr. Loughry: I call the Community Issues Committee to order. We have no legislation. Does anybody have anything for Community Issues? Hearing none; close committee. i. Additional Items: None. e. Safety Jonathon Bollas, Chair Christopher Grimm, Vice Chair Mr. Bollas: I call the Safety Committee to order. We have no legislation this evening. At this time, I would like to open it up to the committee and administration if anyone has anything for the Safety Committee. No one responded. I just wanted  VIRTUAL REGULAR MEETING Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. June 10, 21 Mr. Bollas (Cont’d.) to provide a brief report that I had a chance to attend a Regional Dispatch site visit two weeks ago and it was very educational, and I got to see and meet the consultants and the staff from Summit County so there are a lot of things happening over there. I also got to meet some Councilpersons from the City of Stow as well and hear some of their feedback and concerns and feedback from their residents as well. There is a newsletter they are creating, and I asked to be included as a part of that as far as us on Council and so depending on who receives that, if I receive it, I will forward it to Council and the Administration just to keep us in the loop on the project as it advances. i. Additional Items: None. f. Public Service Rebecca Allman, Chair Dennis Loughry, Vice Chair i. Third readings of Resolutions and Ordinances A. Ord. 61-2021 – Ex. 1 – Ex. 2 – Ex. 3 – Ex. 4 – Authorizing the creation and acceptance of an access easement at 221 Hanna Drive and drainage easements at 221 Hanna Drive, 245 Hanna Drive, and 278 Washburn Road and providing for immediate enactment. Mrs. Allman: I call the Public Service Committee to order. Ord. 61-2021 was read into the record. Mr. Bollas moved for the adoption of Ord. 61-2021. Seconded Mr. Sisak. Roll Call: Mr. Bollas, Mr. Grimm, Mrs. Kilway, Mr. Loughry, Mr. Sisak, Mrs. Allman – unanimous. Ord. 61-2021 is adopted by a vote of 6-0. ii. First readings of Resolutions and Ordinances A. Ord. 71-2021 – Providing for the submission to the electors of the city various amendments to the City Charter as proposed by the Charter Review Commission and providing for immediate enactment. Mrs. Allman: Next, we have Ord. 71-2021. Ord. 71-2021 was read into the record. Any comments on Ord. 71-2021? Dir. of Law: Mrs. Allman, I would like to request that Council gives this three readings before you would adopt this. It cannot be adopted until 120 days prior to the election and that is why there was a gap between the end of the Charter Review Commission’s work and you having this legislation. It would need to be adopted at the July meeting and that gets us within the 120 days and also gives us plenty of time to move through the rest of the process. I would like to thank again the Charter Review Commission members who worked very hard to propose these amendments and point out that you did all receive the final report which was submitted to you at the conclusion of the Commission’s meetings. Mrs. Allman: Are there any questions for Megan? No one responded. Are there any other items for Public Service? No one responded. I will close committee. iii. Additional Items: None. 11. Reports of Special Committees: None. 12. Announcements: I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s pretty faces in two weeks instead of on a screen. 13. Adjournment: Mr. Grimm moved to adjourn. Seconded Mr. Loughry. Roll Call: Mrs. Kilway, Mr. Loughry, Mr. Sisak, Mrs. Allman, Mr. Bollas, Mr. Grimm – unanimous. The Virtual Regular Council meeting of 6-10-21 adjourned at 8:40 p.m. sb Adopted: _______________________________ _________________________________ Susan E. Burton, Clerk of Council Carol A.
