COMMUNITY INPUT: Pres. of Council: Tallmadge City Council meets four times a month on Monday’s and Thursday’s. We do allow some time for community input. Monday’s are our Committee meetings where we discuss legislation and we allow pretty much unlimited time on community input. On Thursday’s those are our business meetings where we vote on the legislation and we have a very limited time for community input. I know that we have a couple of people in the audience who would like to speak this evening. Would you like to come forward and give your name and address? We have Valerie DeRose and Lt. Doug Smith from the Summit County Sheriff’s Department. Valerie DeRose, 1310 DeWitt Drive, Akron. I am with the Summit County Executive’s Office Emergency Management Agency. Lt. Doug Smith, Summit County Sheriff’s Department, 53 University Avenue, Akron. Ms. DeRose: Thank you for allowing us to speak tonight. We are here to talk to you about what I believe is Res. 20-2014 which is to endorse the public safety tax which is Issue 12. This public safety tax is a 25% additional sales tax that is critical for Summit County. What this tax would support, and Lt. Smith will go into specifically about the jail, but we have an 800 radio system for the 31 political subdivisions in the County. We have been on this system for a long time. It is coming to the end of its life like with all technology. So we need to upgrade this system and there is a handout for everyone and also you have a packet and it shows specifically about what the approximate cost would be for Tallmadge to have to upgrade their radios. For you it is approximately $792,000 just to upgrade the system alone. Also, our technology with 911 is now at the point where we need to be able to accept videos and texts. The Ohio Department of Administration is looking at some different ways to accept that, but there is some infrastructure that we have to put in place for fiber optics to be able to get the data from Columbus and then transmit out to our communication centers and our public safety. So that is really another paramount cost that we are looking at in the near future. Lt. Smith. Lt. Smith: Thank you. One of the biggest hits as you guys well know is the Ohio Revised Code requires a Sheriff to be responsible for the County Jail and the court and civil process of the County. What the $100 million that Summit County has taken in cuts; funding from the State and Federal levels, the Sheriff’s has been hit by an $8 million cut. Within that we are down approximately 40 to 50 deputies. That is based off of the Department of Justice study that was a result of a lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Office. So we don’t have staff. To give you an example, typically on a midnight shift; we work that shift with 27 deputies. About a year ago, during that shift there were 33 people in the Summit County Jail for murder or connected to murder and you had 14 deputies working that shift. We are paying 400 hours of overtime over a weekend on the shifts. It is out of control. It isn’t just the safety of the deputy because we take a certain . . . we accept a certain amount of injury that is going to happen to us. We are not in a job that is real touchy-feely and people love us, especially in the jail, but we have the inmates in there to protect them from each other, themselves and our civilian staff that is at that jail.  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. September 11, 14 Lt. Smith (Cont’d.) As you well know, the Sheriff took a lot of heat over our deed packages through the foreclosures. We used to have 10 civilian workers working the civil process and that is down to 6 and so we are kind of at the bottom end of how effective and efficient we can be right now and it is getting real dangerous in there. The jail is 25 years old and more deputies come down with MRSA or other infections from the people that we deal with. We really need to get that infrastructure, that jail, back up and running correctly. The best way to go about it is when the Sheriff got elected, and we were told by the County, or he was told by the County; don’t come back to us in November asking for money; this is your budget and so the Sheriff waited until March and went back to them and the birth of the sales tax was there. The quarter percent is the lowest amount allowed by law with that sales tax and it still makes us within I think the bottom two as far as taxes go through the State of Ohio and it has a sunset date of ten years and so it is going to expire after ten years. There are also mechanisms built into this tax that an escrow account will be created to help fund the jail and improvements and personnel in the future. So after that tax expires in ten years, the goal is for another ten years after that we will still be able to maintain some of those services required in the jail. Ms. DeRose: Does anyone have any questions and if we can’t answer them; we can find the answers for you? Mr. Stalnaker: This is just for information. Some communities have no Police Department and you service those areas? Lt. Smith: Yes sir. Mr. Stalnaker: Now, are you reimbursed by those communities? Lt. Smith: We sign policing contracts. We have five contracted policing districts that pay for our services. The sales tax can’t be used for any specific community; it has to be the overall County. We contract and get reimbursed. Mr. Stalnaker: You are breaking even or making a little bit of money on those contracts? Lt. Smith: No. Mr. Stalnaker: Not breaking even? Lt. Smith: No. We are hoping to in the future to get the true cost of policing, but no; we are not profiting. Mr. Stalnaker: Thanks. Mrs. Ray: I really don’t have a question, but I do have a comment. I would suggest anyone on Council or the Administration or anyone in the audience to tour the facility. I have had that opportunity and you can see why this tax is so very important and needed and I commend you and the deputies on the job that you do; it is a very tough job and you do it very well given the resources that you have. Pres. of Council: I would like to second that. Thanks to Mrs. Ray and her husband; I was able to also tour the facility and it is an eye opening experience. It is a good will thing toward the public. I don’t know if that is something that is open anytime, or may be more available, but it was a very good experience for me personally. Mayor: I would personally like to thank you for coming here tonight. It is such an important issue across the County. The radios that affect Tallmadge, just so you understand; we have to change the radios by 2018. It is a requirement. Our current radio system will not work and so that money that is there . . . almost $800,000 to replace our own radio system and we are also contracting with the City of Stow for their 911 service up in Stow for dispatch. That has to be upgraded and that will come back to us as a City because we are under a contract that if they upgrade then we have to share that cost. This money will also go to help defer our costs going to the City of Stow and that is why I sponsored the legislation and some of the Council folks also. I would encourage you to adopt this. I think the Executive really listened to the people. When it had the arena in it, even though I was in favor of it back then early on too because I know the magnitude of the safety forces outweigh what that arena could have done for us and I still know that we need to help the safety forces. Now that the Executive has listened to us, and County Council; Councilman Feeman is here in the audience and thank you Jerry for listening to the outcry of the folks saying take the arena out and put a cap on it. I think you have done that and so I think with the cap on it and the arena out of it; I see no reason why we shouldn’t support this. Thank you. Mr. Rensel: May I speak, or should we listen to Jerry first? Go ahead Jerry; I will speak after you. Jerry Feeman, Summit County Council District 6, which I represent you folks here in Tallmadge, and I live at 1068 Ledgebrook Drive. You know what Dave had said that it is not only . . . and your midpoint is about $800,000 for the radios and the 800 system. The worst case scenario it could go to $1.1 or $1.2 million. That is the worst case scenario. Between you and Stow, with the upgrades that Stow has to make which affect you; the worst case scenario should be around $2.7 or $2.8 million and this would cover all of that. 2  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. September 11, 14 Mr. Feeman (Cont’d.) When Russ first proposed the idea of the sales tax, we went on summer break and I did start collecting my receipts to see how much this was going to affect me personally. You know, I never paid attention to my sales tax prior to this. Prescriptions don’t get taxed and the food that you buy at the grocery store doesn’t get taxed and so what I did was I tracked my receipts for about two months and I was pleasantly surprised how much money I really don’t pay in sales tax at the end of the day. I did find out that when I went out to Brimfield to Lowe’s and Wal-Mart; they are at 7% already and so we are still at 6.75% and Portage County is at 7% and so you know . . . I understood when Russ took off the arena, even though I was in favor of it, but this issue is about safety. It is about 40 of these deputies down at the jail and Jim and Kim when you made those trips down there, part of the jail they don’t use because their staffing has been reduced so much . . . the gymnasium . . . and I know that some of the inner-City ministers are concerned about worship on Sunday’s even though they are incarcerated. I don’t think they are doing that anymore. My main concern over this whole thing was the safety of the deputies and saving you guys some money. That’s all. Mr. Rensel: I would like to thank everyone for coming tonight. I worked in business and I just retired from business and where I worked at a research center, safety in research and in our development is number one for sure, not just for speaking the term, but for actually living it and I believe that to be true in the community as an elected official. Where I am concerned, and the reason I will not be supporting this resolution tonight, is because . . . now Jerry, I think the County; if safety is number one they ought to put their priorities where they say they are. The safety forces report, in the communities, to the Administration. They are under the gun. They can’t really speak up very hard or very loud without concerns for themselves and their jobs. As Administration, I charge you; you need to do better planning. Safety forces are a critical element in this County and in this community and as such ample funds should be there and continue to be there regardless of the financial concerns. This community in Tallmadge; we have a generous balance in the General Fund partially because of City Council and the Administration working together to see that we are not overspending and that money is available for critical items. You talk about Mayor that we will have to convert in 2018; this is 2013 or 2014 to follow up; that is four years. That is four years of planning for collecting revenues as we are barring any catastrophes to provide or put money aside in reserve. My time on City Council when it came time for the heavy-duty equipment and I am looking at Mr. Gaffney now who is the Chief and we prepared budgets for a five-year plan that accounted and allotted for what was going to be depreciated; what was going to be replaced and we put money aside in the Capital Funds. I think to go to the community and just say that this is safety is unfair to the residents. You put them in a difficult position. You are in a difficult position, not you sir, but the safety forces and they deserve better and I support safety forces and I think our Police and Fire know that, but what I don’t support is going to the residents and just asking for more money; it is only a quarter of a percent here and there. I am also concerned about the 7.5% that is just to go into the fund just to be collected for General Fund purposes. That is a lot of money that is not directly earmarked. So, I think, really I don’t know the outcome of the election; I can’t predict it, but I can predict that people who are on fixed incomes and retirees will be concerned about just putting forth another .25%. Hopefully if it works out and the people who go to vote will support that; then very good. If they don’t and it is rejected, I suggest that Council members, County At-Large and the Administration at the County level go back and sharpen their pencils to provide those funds for our safety forces who clearly deserve it. Thank you. Pres. of Council: Anybody else. Are there any questions from the Administration? Mr. Mayor? No. Ms. DeRose: Can I address a couple of comments and I understand exactly where you are coming from. We were fortunate or unfortunate as we know that today is September 11th and after that happened 13 years ago, we received hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars from Homeland Security. That is how we built the infrastructure of our radio system. We were able to offer grants to our communities; $100,000 plus. Every year I know you all see it; our budgets are cut and those grants that we have relied on get cut constantly and so that is what put us here and we are planning ahead because we realize that the system is going to be obsolete in 2017 and 2018 and so we are building it now. We were successful; the City of Akron applied for an Assistant to Fire Act Grant for us to get what is called an M-gag; it is a mainframe which we were awarded this grant and so it helps us to start preparing. We continuously apply for these grants. The money is just not there. Mr. Rensel: Sure. Ms. DeRose: I respect that. Thank you sir. Mr. Feeman: John, we did some planning on County Council and I understand that right before I left here that is when the recession hit; that was 2006/2007 and it was pretty devastating there for a while. I think our road paving program went away for at least a year I know; maybe a little bit longer. 3  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. September 11, 14 Mr. Feeman (Cont’d.) When the Governor cut the Local Government Funds, I know it affected you folks as much as it affected us and I had asked for a meeting; for a public meeting with our State delegation to meet with County Council and different cities, municipalities, townships, and villages and to show what our needs were for. You know, it fell on deaf ears. It is unfortunate that alone out of our General Fund; I think it was about $8 million was cut in our local government and that was huge and our single largest budget item is the Sheriff’s Office and they did take the biggest hit. We planned and we still have a rainy day fund thank goodness, but the bond companies look upon us as keeping that rainy day fund healthy to help our bond rating and so we have planned and for the radios to go out in 2017 or 2018; this is 2014 and so we are planning for the future. Mr. Rensel: Good. Mr. Feeman: It is just unfortunate that what happened six or seven years ago with the Local Government Funds from the State of Ohio being cut the way it was and it hasn’t been moved back up to fill the gap that we have. Thank you. Pres. of Council: Thank you very much. Thanks for your time. Would anyone else like to address Council? No one responded. I would like to welcome the students that are here tonight. Glad you all came. 6.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS: None. 7. REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES: None. 8. AGENDA ADDITIONS: None. 9. REPORTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS: MAYOR, DIR. OF PUBLIC SERVICE, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, DIRECTOR OF LAW AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPER Mayor: I will be very brief tonight. Thank you for the Council folks that did make it over to the dedication of the memorial for the September 11th piece of steel that is on that. If you have not been over to the Fire Station; please go over and take a look at that. Hats off to the Fire Department; Mike Passarelli and Jeff Quick for being so persistent to make that happen and with all of the help from the surrounding companies from the Bierce Company that donated a lot of the material and to MJR Landscaping who put the foundation in and Zane Guillard for doing the brick work. It is phenomenal what they did over there, but you also have to remember what it is all about. When you look at that chunk of steel on top of this monument; that steel was actually in the World Trade Center. After that ceremony, a gentleman came up to me who is a Tallmadge resident and he said that he just wanted to thank everybody who put this together because his sister was in the tower that collapsed. It brings . . . . what else can you say . . . I am sorry for your sister’s loss in the World Trade Center, but he was very appreciative of Tallmadge Council and the Administration and the Fire Department for putting that together. Don’t forget to stop at the Circle; you can see the traffic now. It is never backed up on 91; I just looked out the door and see that they are stopped and they are looking at the Circle. There are brand new candles out there. Swing by after Council and walk around there and just think about the almost 3,000 lives that were lost that day across the United States. It was just unbelievable. 26 Nottingham – As you know that house; we do have ownership of this house. We made it to the inside of the front door. That is the furthest that I would . . . I didn’t even go in the door, but we were able to pry the door open. We are right now getting quotes to clean out the inside; the junk that is in the inside. The lowest price we have received so far is almost $10,000. It is just horrendous. It is just saddening because I grew up in that house when I was young and the VonGunten’s own that house and to see what has happened to that house is just devastating, but we will have to clean it up. You can’t demo the house until the inside is cleaned up. The EPA requirement is that you have to clean out the inside before you can demo it out, and so we are diligently working on that and when the first hammer goes down I’m sure Mrs. Poinar will be there with the sledge hammer. Ord. 78-2014, which is Item 15; we didn’t talk about it on Monday night, but this is the CDBG monies; a contract that we have to amend Ord. 57-1993 and unfortunately they just sent us a note asking to have it by September 20th I think and so Pat Sauner asked me if we could amend that. It is just amending the contract a little bit. We are not applying for anything; it is just part of the CDBG Grant application. Also Res. 20-2014 tonight. End of report. One last thing; gas aggregation or aggravation or whatever you want to say. I just got off the phone at five minutes to seven and I will finalize the price tomorrow morning, but we are able to extend it for a two-year period; 24 months at $4.55. I know there are other rates out there, but if you go to Apples to Apples, everyone is over $5.00. It depends on where you are at in the cycle and that is . . . Wadsworth just got it at $4.29 . . . or $4.24 and Craig, I just saw an e-mail for $4.55 and it is just across the board. But, I can extend it out for two years and so we don’t have to worry about 2016 and it will be cheaper than what we currently are at today. The lowest price we were ever at was $4.19 and that was a couple of years ago. So, we will most likely fix our rate for 24 months starting December of 2014 through November of 2017 at $4.55 or it might be by tomorrow morning $4.56 or $4.57 or $4.54. It is in that range and so I know that it will be below $4.60 and so I am pretty happy about that that we can secure this. It is an option. If there are other things out there; there is no cost to the residents to opt out or opt in. Right now I am pretty happy to get that rate. End of report. 4  REGULAR MEETING in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. September 11, 14 Dir. of Pub. Service: Yes, thank you. I am happy to report that we did not have any storm damage last night; no wind damage and no storm water issues at all and so we should knock on wood. Stow did have some damage. The Paving Program was delayed again today because of rain. Tomorrow they should be finishing up Woods Drive and they will move to Northeast Avenue and then next week they will move to the spokes off of the Circle and get those done and then they will start going into some of the residential areas. The Woodridge Development down off of Dunbar; they had hoped to get pavement down this year and get all the undergrounds in, but we are not sure that is even going to happen. They are still having trouble getting their EPA permits. They submitted application through Summit County Soil and Water and they weren’t complete and so the developer kind of indicated to us that if they didn’t get these approvals within the next few weeks that they would probably delay that until next year. End of report. Dir. of Finance: You have the August reports in front of you and the end of August puts us about 67% of the way through the year. The General Fund Revenues are at 70% of projection. Income Tax is also at 70% projection and 4% ahead of last year. The General Fund Balance is $5,368,000. The Rec Center is still dealing with the competition on South Avenue. Maca Pool ended August with almost a $40,000 profit. The Fire Fund is a little over $377,000 in the balance. The Street Maintenance Fund is a little under $172,000. The Sewer Fund is about $1.2 million. The Water Fund is almost $2 million. Storm Water Revenue is at $224,000. End of report unless you have questions. Dir. of Law: No report this evening. Economic Developer: I have a report and I am going to use Mrs. Raber’s time! Just to give you an update; Ord. 69, 70, and Ord. 72-2014 are all at 2nd Reading and that is fine. Please feel free to call me with any questions regarding those. An update on West Avenue; Dr. Schmeiser’s building looks great and is on schedule. We have renewed interest in the Rocco property. That is the land that was slated to be developed for senior housing. Nothing definite, but interest. The Love Furniture building; the buyer will close in early October and hopefully will be in before the end of the year. That will be about 30 jobs. The Hostess building will close in early October. They do not have definite plans for that yet. Our lot that the City owns in front of the “Y” should be in the CIC hopefully by the end of this month and there is interest on that lot as well. The vacant land on West Avenue that Dr. Kedia owns; they are just waiting on final approval from their tenant and they are still hoping to start probably early next year at this point. Bob’s Big Boy site as you have seen dumpsters have been out there and they are gutting that and getting ready to come before the Heritage Commission. They still hope to be in front of the Heritage Commission before the end of the year. Next door on Mr. Scaccio’s site, Joel Testa; that is still a go and he is negotiating leases rapidly and they hope to break ground early next year. The Administration will have a meeting with the City of Akron soon regarding Chapel Hill and Brittain Road to address those concerns that affect both communities. The JEDD continues to be doing very well. We have a ribbon cutting, or not a ribbon cutting, but a dedication/celebration for the renovation to Serpentini that I invited Council to if you could come. They would love to have you stop by. It is an open house. I think it is the 24 th or 25th. I have it. I can check. It is a Thursday afternoon I believe. Mrs. Ray: Can you share who is going into the Love Furniture site or is that not yet public knowledge? Economic Developer: I can’t yet. Mr. Stalnaker: The apartments on Colony Park; is there anything moving on that? Economic Developer: It is approved. At this point I think it is the same thing where I don’t think he can get the roads in and so he is going to wait probably until spring. That project is still a go. 10.
