6. COMMUNITY INPUT:
Pres. of Council: This is our regular business meeting for City Council. This is when we
actually take care of the business of City Council, which is reading our legislation into the
record and voting on it, amending it, voting on those amendments or carrying it over to the
next meeting. This is our first regular business meeting of the new year. As usual, we have
a very lengthy agenda ahead of us because we have a bevy of almost 40 pieces of new
legislation that are all our typical new year what we call, “housekeeping” legislation. These
are things that we need to adopt to keep the City running smoothly. So, we will be attacking
that lengthy agenda shortly.
But, during our regular business meeting, we do allow a short period of time for community
input. Once we start reading the legislation into the record, we just keep moving on and
there is really no time for discussion on that. So, is there anyone here tonight that would like
to address Council at this time; this is the time to do it. We would ask that you come up to
the podium.
Pres. of Council: Mr. Roemer welcome to Tallmadge City Council. Do you remember the
last time you were here I thought you were the minister! That was because you were new
on Council and I didn’t know who you were and now I do know you. So, we are glad you are
here.
Bill Roemer, 3616 Summer Road in Richfield, Ohio. Actually, that was one of my favorite
experiences because I think it was only Trina Carter and I that were here and you weren’t
sure who I was and so you thought I was the pastor of the church that was giving the
invocation. In fact, that was the first thing that I looked at when I came tonight is that I
looked at the agenda . . . I had mentioned to the Mayor that I was going to come tonight and
I thought maybe I was going to give the invocation!
But, I also represent Summit County Council At-Large. I made a commitment when I was
elected and even before I was elected that if I were fortunate enough to be elected that I
would continue to travel around the County to try to listen and learn to see what issues were
facing the constituents as well as the elected officials. I have gone to all 31 municipalities
REGULAR COUNCIL
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. January 10, 13
Mr. Roemer (Cont’d.) multiple times and again I am really here to listen and learn and if
there is anything that comes up and you would like to talk to me about it; I will be here after
the meeting. Thank you very much for your time.
6.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pres. of Council: Just a reminder that our next Committee meeting is on Tuesday, the day
after Martin Luther King Day, because of the holiday.
7. REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES: None.
8. AGENDA ADDITIONS: None.
9. REPORTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS: MAYOR, DIR. OF PUBLIC SERVICE,
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, AND DIRECTOR OF LAW.
Mayor: I would also like to welcome Council back for the new year. I am looking forward to
2013. I think we have a pretty exciting budget and I think it is going to be a good year for us.
It is going to be busy. We have a lot of things planned. There is a lot of nice economic
development coming in now and so we are pretty excited about that.
Next Wednesday, I will be giving the “State of the City” to the Chamber and that is open to
anybody who wishes to go to that. I will be doing a sneak preview to the City employees on
Monday for anybody wishing to come to it at around 11:30 a.m. So that will give me a little
training on it, plus I love giving it to the employees and going over everything that I am going
to go over on Wednesday, and so you are welcome to come to either or.
There are a lot of things on the agenda; a lot of housekeeping ordinances and so I am not
going to go through the items that I would ask you to adopt, but there are a couple that are
not housekeeping that I will stop you as you get moving along; specifically the North Avenue
ODOT Project. ODOT is asking us to get the legislation done. It is a project that is a
resurfacing up towards the north end of North Avenue and we will be happy to get that done
this coming year and that is an 80/20 resurfacing project. Outside of that; that is the end of
my report.
st
Mr. Maguire: In the past we have adopted the housekeeping ordinances at 1 Reading; is
that going to be the case tonight or not?
Mayor: I would expect Council to adopt them, but you don’t have to. Ordinances 1-12 are
housekeeping; 13-20 are capital projects; 27 through . . . are more capital projects and as
they come up, I will interrupt you and I will explain those and you will know what the capital
ones are.
Pres. of Council: I should have made mention to Council that we have both of our Clerks
here tonight because of the amount of new legislation and the bulk of reading that into the
record and then going to the agenda, etc. They are going to tag team tonight and so we
should take advantage of both of them being here and if Council wishes; we can get most of
st
that adopted at 1 Reading tonight.
Mayor: Linda, one other thing; Item 16, Ord. 105-2012; I would ask Council to just give that
nd
a 2 Reading. That is the Memorandum of Understanding. I know that I misspoke on
Monday night about the decontamination trailer being stored in Munroe Falls. We were
talking about another issue in Munroe Falls with a gator up there. The trailer is actually
stored at 210 Osceola. It has been down there for 13 years and it has never been delivered
out on the scene yet.
Our involvement will be that if it is called to action; we will hook it up to a pickup truck and
nd
drop it off at the scene. That is the limit of that. You are giving it a 2 Reading tonight. I
just want to make sure that I told you that I misspoke in saying that it was at Munroe Falls
and it is not. End of report.
Dir. of Pub. Service: I will keep it short just because we do have such a large agenda. The
important thing that everyone worries about this time of year is the salt. We have used 800
tons so far and we are parallel where we were this time last year. We are in really good
shape right now.
st
There are several ordinances before you that I am hoping to get passed at 1 Reading and if
you have any questions on any of those as they come up; I will be happy to answer your
questions. End of report.
Dir. of Finance: Thank you very much. The General Fund collected 10% more than the
annual estimated revenue. We are at 4.67% ahead of last year.
Income Tax collections were ahead of last year by over 7% and 8% above the annual
projected revenue.
The Recreation Center ended the year with $139,046 in net operating profit.
Maca Park, which I reported previously, but I will include it again, had an increase of 8.52%
in net operating profit over last year.
We ended the year with an unencumbered balance of $4,712,528 which eclipses last year
by $721,111.
The Fire Fund has an unencumbered balance of $255,365.
The Street Fund ended the year with an unencumbered balance of $92,955.
The Sewer Operating Fund has an unencumbered balance of a little over $1.6 million.
The Water Fund has an unencumbered balance of almost $1.9 million.
The Storm Water Fund has an unencumbered balance of $63,711.
st
I also would like to request a 1 Reading adoption for Resolutions 1 and 2-2013. They too
are housekeeping items.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to address them.

REGULAR COUNCIL
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. January 10, 13
Dir. of Law: Thank you. I also am looking forward to a good new year. I wanted to ask for
st
the adoption at 1 Reading for housekeeping Ordinances 23, through 26-2013 this evening.
I also wanted to just point out so we didn’t have to stop once you get started that the
amendments on Ord. 103-2012, which is for the 76 North Avenue Project; the sections that
relate to the conditions . . . the Subsection A. is directly from the recommendations from
Planning & Zoning and B., C., and D. are just clarifications of the discussion that took place
there and then based on what discussion we had here at Council on Monday night.
I worked with Roger Lyons and these are the recommendations of additional language for
conditions that the Administration is recommending as opposed to Planning & Zoning. So I
just wanted to make sure that that was pointed out.
The same applies to Ord. 106-2012. The section with regard to conditions is Subsection A.
and it comes from the Planning & Zoning Commission where B. just clarifies the nature of
the development about it being one building, 40 units senior housing apartments restricted to
ages 55 and older. So, again that was just for purposes of being able to refer back to those
ordinances and have a clear picture as to what the application truly contained inside of it for
ease of enforcement purposes later for anyone who had to do that. Thank you very much.
End of report.
Pres. of Council: I have one question; Item 15. Ord. 104-2012; the U-Haul . . . it says
amend and I don’t remember having that as an amendment. I thought that was ready to go.
Mayor: They put the conditions in.
Dir. of Law: We had to put the conditions in from Planning & Zoning. There were only two
which is under Section 2, but we did add those conditions.
Pres. of Council: OK. Alright.
Economic Developer: I will be brief. On Monday evening the Finance Committee
recommended adoption of Ord. 93, 94, 101 and 102-2012. They are income tax
st
abatement ordinances. This evening I would ask for 1 Reading adoption of Ord. 51, 52,
and 53-2013 as they are like ordinances. Thank you.
Mr. Sarver: Thank you. Plaza Maya; is that closed?
Economic Developer: It is closed and there was a restaurant that was supposed to go in
and that fell through.
Mr. Sarver: What kind of restaurant?
Economic Developer: It was just going to be a family restaurant.
Mr. Sarver: How about Donato’s?
Economic Developer: Donato’s has a long-term lease with the Levy & Company that owns
the plaza. They are trying to sublet that space. Levy is not willing to entertain any offers that
are less than the lease rate that Donato’s was paying so that is a hurdle.
Mr. Sarver: The demo on South Avenue; is that about ready to open?
Economic Developer: We were expecting them . . . they were hoping to be in before the
end of the year, but because of add-ons to construction at the tenant’s request, it has
extended construction so we expect them in this spring or before spring.

10. Ordinance 93-2012 At 3 Reading.
PLANNING & ZONING Amending Ordinance 94-2010 for a Condi-
Conditional Zoning Certificate to applicant
Ardmore Foundation, Inc. for special non-
residential development and use at a
10.206 acre parcel at 508 Newton Street for
a day/vocational program for adults with
disabilities.
Mr. Donovan moved for the adoption of Ord. 93-2012. Seconded Mr. Maguire.
Pres. of Council: I had these two items confused. This is ready to go without an amendment.
Mrs. Kilway: It looks like there might be a typo on the agenda because on the agenda it says,
“Amending Ordinance 94-2012.” She read 2010, but that might be the problem.
Dir. of Law: Yes. It should be 94-2010 and I believe, just for point of clarification for the Clerk; I
know that Ms. Burton will typically read off of the actual legislation as opposed to the agenda and
maybe that is what you did do, but on the actual legislation, it is amending Ord. 94-2010. Ord. 93-
2012 is amending Ord. 94-2010 for a conditional zoning certificate to applicant Ardmore Foundation,
Inc. for special nonresidential development and use at a 10.206, etc., etc. So what this is doing is
amending their previous conditional zoning. Tonight you are just adopting. There is no amendment;
there is no new amendment on the floor. OK?
Mr. Maguire: After all of that; I second it.
Pres. of Council: We are kind of off to a bad start with the length of our agenda!! There is a motion
by Mr. Donovan and a second by Mr. Maguire to adopt Ord. 93-2012. Roll Call: Mrs. Kilway, Mr.
Maguire, Mrs. Poinar, Mr. Sarver, Mr. Stalnaker, Mr. Donovan – unanimous. Ord. 93-2012 is
adopted by a vote of 6-0.

Mayor: This is the looping process from the industrial park; the annexed area, through East End
Welding, up East Avenue and tying into towards Washburn Road. There will not be a water
connection for use along East Avenue and Portage County. We did meet with Portage County
working on the agreements to go in the public right-of-way along there. We will have some fire
hydrants strategically placed along there and emergency connection to Portage County only for
emergency use. So, for the integrity of our waterlines going down East Howe Road into the
industrial park; if we have a water main break anywhere along that, then we would shut down the
industrial park; Rubbermaid, Tube & Steel . . . so this will help the whole looping system of the
industrial park.
Mr. Sarver: Does Crystal Parkway come out to East Avenue?
Mayor: No, the waterline that goes; it actually goes down Hughes Drive through the field beside
Rubbermaid down Portage Boulevard to Crystal Parkway and then it goes along an easement
through the back of East End Welding all the way down to East Avenue. So our waterline is about
300’ short of East Avenue now and so we will continue down our easement along in front of
Maplecrest Golf Course all the way up to tie into . . .
Mr. Sarver: I couldn’t see how you got to East Avenue and then to Crystal Parkway, but I see now.

reduce the price of the ¾ ton trucks. There are like nine vehicles that we are taking out of our fleet
for the trade-in. They are not worth a lot of value, but they will accept all of those for the two
vehicles.
Mr. Stalnaker: What about the dump truck that was so rusted out that it looks like the bed is going
to fall off of it?
Dir. of Pub. Service: No dump trucks are going yet. It is pick-up trucks, Crown Vic’s . . .
Mr. Stalnaker: You have one dump truck and you should give somebody about ten cans of
Rustoleum and spray it white and cover up all of that rust.

spray.

Mr. Maguire: Yes. Question for the Law Director; do we sometimes use Cuyahoga Falls and
sometimes use Macedonia?
Dir. of Law: That’s correct; we actually have an agreement with both which comes in very handy
because Cuyahoga Falls is more conveniently located for our Police Force and it is actually cheaper
for us to transport and cheaper for inmates to stay there, however, they fill up more regularly and so
we have no choice but to go to Macedonia Jail and so we do need both.

the way past the Fairgrounds down into Munroe Falls to North Moreland where they completed their
project about a year ago with paving. This will continue on down there. This is multi-jurisdictional;
Munroe Falls, Tallmadge and ODOT. It is a pretty neat project. It will be nice to get that area done
up there. This will not be done until after July towards the end of summer and so we are looking at
possibly putting a third lane; turn lane into Fox Ridge along that and the Fairgrounds prior to ODOT
coming in and repaving this thing. So we will be busy on that in the springtime.
Pres. of Council: That would be nice. This takes care of the long complained waffle board, which
actually took care of itself because over time, it has kind of gotten a little better because it is worn
down and that occurred right when Munroe Falls had done theirs that summer and so it even made
our waffle board all the more worse, so this is a good thing and I will look forward to getting this done
after July.

the Mayor first. The two pick-up trucks that we are buying; where are we going to get those?
Mayor: Most likely Park Ford. The ordinance that is on the books with Council says that if a Local
Preference can match the State Purchasing, which they beat the State Purchasing price, and so it
will be most likely . . . and that is where we buy pretty much all of our Ford vehicles is in Tallmadge.
Mr. Sarver: Now for Megan, our Law Director; I work part-time at Park Ford and I voted on that
legislation; should I have abstained?
Dir. of Law: Were you aware until right now that they had any interest in it?
Mr. Sarver: Not until I just asked him. I mean, I knew; I have been on Council 14 years and so I
knew that we usually get them at Park Ford, but after I voted as we are going on, I thought that if
they get them at Park Ford; I may have had a conflict.
Mayor: He delivers cars there.
Dir. of Law: I mean, you would be employed regardless of whether or not the City . . .
Mr. Sarver: Yeah, I have nothing to do with sales; I drive for them.
Dir. of Law: In this particular instance, I think you will be alright to proceed. Thank you for bringing
that to our attention.
Mayor: There are no guarantees that it will be Park Ford. Most likely it will be.
Dir. of Law: Because we have not even made that final determination yet.
Mayor: We have not made that; if they can beat State Purchasing.
