community input at this point in the meeting. If anybody would like to address Council, please
come forward and give us your name and address.
Mayor: Yes, thank you Mr. Chairman. If anybody else wants to speak on anything outside of
what I am going to talk about; you are still welcome to go to the microphone. It is truly an
honor and privilege to recognize our Tallmadge Fire Department. We all in this room know
how we have such a great Fire Department and we tout that all over the City and the different
communities, but tonight is truly a special time where we can really see all the hard work that
our men and women do at the Fire Department. I am here to recognize the Fire Chief who is
going to talk about a case that is just a great outcome due to the dedication and the hard work
and training that the Fire Department really does. Chief Passarelli.
Chief Passarelli: I guess you don’t need to swear me in then?
Mayor: No.
Chief Passarelli: Mike Passarelli. What I would like to do this evening is recognize the crew
that worked on this particular call.
Mayor: Talk in the mike; Mike.
REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 13, 16
Chief Passarelli: Not that this particular crew is any better than any other one, but the
outcome was outstanding. There was a lot of moving parts in this particular call. All of that
came together and the seamlessness and the outcome that came of it was what made it a
stand out for me.
The call, and I will go through some of the details, which I have by the way, the permission to
go through some of the details from the person.
This call was at 9:08 p.m. on Jennifer Trail. It is close to Dunbar; at that end. It came in as
an acid reflux; one of your run of the mill, ho-hum calls. What was unique about this day was
that we were fully staffed; there were 7 people that day and there happened to be 3 at Station
2. The mix was very good. This was exceptional patient care that was put together in a very
timely manner. How this came to be, as I go through it, will be evident to you.
The other first people I want to talk about are the Dispatchers and how well they did. I will get
to their names in just a minute. I would like to bring up Jeff Quick, Nick Kilmer, and Gray can’t
be here because he is working for Cuyahoga Falls right now at Station 5 and I couldn’t shake
him loose. I tried. So, if you two would come up. I will kind of describe the call.
The call came in, as I said, as acid reflux and these two were in route in 56 seconds from the
time of the call; getting it over the radio until the time that they cleared the door was 56
seconds. That says a lot guys.
Fortunately for our patient, it was less than a two-minute response time from there and so we
had less than 3 minutes until we were at the house and 28 seconds from then until we were
at the patient’s side. So, very, very quickly. They came upon the patient, and I will give you
the . . . the . . . the Dispatch notes are always good. Sixty-seven year old . . . it says male; I
guess they didn’t get it all right . . . I noticed that later . . . then in 16 seconds it came back as
shortness of breath because they were still talking to the husband giving her direction. 57
seconds after the call it was not breathing now; attempting CPR. Unable to get her out of the
chair; agonal breathing at 1 minute 43.
Enter these guys. What their report reads is that spouse called EMS because he believed the
wife was having difficulty with acid reflux. In route, Dispatch confirmed full arrest; this is a real
well written report, by the way. Upon EMS arrival, laying back in the recliner unresponsive
with agonal breathing. Patient went into full arrest and CPR attempted. Patient in V-fib. V-
fib is a cardiac rhythm that we can treat if we can get to it quick enough. They pulled her to
the ground; CPR was started and she was shocked; went into PEA, which is a rhythm without
a pulse and patient then converted into sinus tech with a pulse. So they pulled her down; they
shocked her; they got back a pulse and they continued to bag her and the rest of it is classified!
I swore to her that I wouldn’t tell anybody the rest. I wouldn’t do it.
So in route at the same time is Station 2, which arrived . . . oh, I’m sorry; you were at Station
1 also. Yeah. The Station 1 guys come on up. Miller, Nick, Kyle . . . these were the four
people and Robby; these were the four people that were coming from Station 2. When we
have an unresponsive; both stations respond. The closest gets in and does what they are
supposed to do . . . we are missing one . . . and the rest of them then get the cot in and get
the rest of the stuff going.
They came in and assisted with packaging the patient. The patient was packaged and in route
in 9 minutes. That 9 minutes included shocking the patient, CPR, starting an IV; they did not
have to administer any drugs.
Jeff Quick: No.
Chief Passarelli: Good, it is not on here! Like I said; we got back a pulse. She was not
conscious and talking to them until later in this scenario.
The two Dispatchers that were there or on the phone with the husband were Bobbi Smith and
Sue Novac. They are two outstanding Dispatchers; not Tallmadge owned ones, but Stow
ones that do a good job. But, they did an outstanding job of working with the husband and
then helping him work through some of this stuff.
The other couple of shout-outs I would like to give was basically to City Hospital. Dr.
Zembroski is our Medical Director and he is in the back and he is an Akron General Doctor,
and so I have to apologize for this!! They were the closest facility and they did an outstanding
job of transfer of care so they took the good stuff that they did and transferred it and went on
about some really high tech stuff; chilling the patient; comotosing the patient; and then two
days later doing stents when she was more stable.
The teamwork between the hospitals and this group; internal teamwork and external teamwork
was outstanding. I would like to thank the Administration and Council. This is what you can
get when you have some really well trained people with really good “toys” and know how to
use them and the money for the training has been the thing. These guys . . . what is interesting
about this crew; Nick Kilmer’s is Akron Fire; Station 4 and he is a new hire to us. Greg is a
Falls Lieutenant; Station 5 and he is new to us too. These guys have not worked together a
long time, but they all know what they are doing and it came to pass with this call. The rest of
us have all worked together a pretty long time; some longer than others.
The other person I would like to shout out to is John Underwood. John; if you could stand up.
These four guys; the three on the end and the one in the front here; that was his crew until I
gave him to Miller to do with as he pleases! He trained these guys. He was their mentor for
a very long time. He is the head of EMS now since I left it and he put together a heck of a
crew that really knows what they are doing. Thanks John.

REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 13, 16
Chief Passarelli: I would like to thank our Medical Director for all he does with us. He
tolerates some of the good things and some of the bad and is always in training mode with us.
He has helped us through a lot of stuff.
This is what you can do when you have exceptional response times; exceptional. These are
way below the standards, real good equipment, highly trained motivated people and enough
people to do the job. This is what comes out of that.
I would like Mary Anne to come up if she could. Mary Anne was our patient. She spent a lot
of time; two weeks in the hospital. She is in rehab now. She is down to a cane which is pretty
amazing. These guys haven’t seen Mary Anne standing up! So, I would like to introduce you
to the folks who basically saved your life.
Mary Anne: I don’t remember any of you. Everyone applauded.
Mayor: First of all, I would like to thank all of you guys for all of your hard work and I know
the crew that is here just happened to be on shift that day. We could have been talking about
any shift at our Fire Department because the guys are all exceptional and I really owe a lot of
thanks to Dr. “Z” who is our Medical Advisor and he is the one who helps train these guys and
so Dr. “Z” truly from the City of Tallmadge, thank you for everything that you do for the City of
Tallmadge. Everyone applauded. Thank you guys. Go back to work!!
Mr. Sisak: I have a comment. I would like to thank the Fire Department as well and I sat on
a committee with the Mayor and the old Fire Chief about the stations and where and what and
if. I remember talking and my comment was that it doesn’t matter if we have one station or
two stations; I said I think it is the people that we have within the department and obviously it
goes to show what they are able to do given the proper tools and the proper training.
Mayor: A little segue to that; on the Fire Department Study, we are under a contract with
someone that is doing a site plan for us; a feasibility study of a building and we are back to
the concept of still having two stations now. The corner of East Avenue and Munroe; that we
thought could be the No. 1 Station; a single station, is just not working out for us financially
and with the growth of the eastern quadrant we are looking at possibly building a new station
out at that side of town and make that the Administrative offices and turn Station 1 into what
is now Station 2. That is sort of what we are looking at. That is just preliminary. That won’t
happen in 2017, but the studies and all of the plans and I hope to get all those completed in
2017 to come forward with Council’s help.
Mr. Rensel: Was the new EMS vehicle used Chief?
Chief Passarelli: That would be not the newest one, but the second newest one.
Mr. Rensel: I am just curious because you were talking about a lot of toys and . . . well, they
all have toys, but . . .
Chief Passarelli: It is not so much the ambulance itself; it is what we carry in the building.
The AutoPulse; we brought it in and didn’t have to use it fortunately. AutoPulse is a CPR
machine OK? We got her back too quick to use that. It was in place and ready to go,
Mary Anne: Shucks!
Chief Passarelli: We couldn’t use all the toys I guess! Those two Autopulses which are
$10,000 a piece were donated by Akron General. A shout out to General. So, the Lifepak
15’s which are what we shocked her with and then sent the subsequent strips to the hospital
is cutting technology also. Those two pieces of equipment are very, very, very important and
that is . . . I mean, you can get a person to the hospital in just about anything. The new ones
ride a little better than the old ones and we thank you for that. She doesn’t remember it, but
she would probably thank you for that. But, it is the equipment that we carry into the building;
that is the real stuff.
Mr. Rensel: Thank you.
Mayor: If I could also thank you for coming in and sharing your story. I mean, it is not easy
to come up and talk about it. It is probably easier for you than it is for us sitting here, but to
go through what you went through and to come in here to share your story it is just remarkable
and I am glad to see you.
Chief Passarelli: How she came to us, if you have just a second, is kind of an interesting
story just in itself.
Mayor: It’s never a second with you!!
Chief Passarelli: Monday morning, I am sitting at my desk getting ready for the Staff Meeting
and opening e-mails, etc., and I get this phone call and it is about an incident and those are
always scary on Monday mornings because I think, what did the guys do over the weekend
that I am going to have to defend and she asked me when this crew was working and she
suggested some dates that she would like to make dinner for that crew and I thought that was
great, but what I thought was funny was the date she was giving me was C-Shift dates and
this was B-Shift!! So, C-Shift had interceded and used their dates. That is my old shift and I
thought, well that’s a little deceitful and so I gave her the right dates and she is going to present
them with dinner on the 21st. So, we got them on the right track. Thank you.
Dr. Zembroski: Good morning, or good evening everybody; this is my first time doing this!
What I wanted to do tonight was to just thank all of you for having us and tell you a little bit
about myself and how I got involved with Tallmadge Fire.

REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 13, 16
Dr. Zembroski (Cont’d.) I am a relatively local product. I am from Canton originally and did
all of my schooling in Ohio at Case Western and Ohio State and trained at Akron General and
early in our training to get us involved with paramedic education I have had the pleasure of
working with Mogadore and Tallmadge Fire since about 2003 and I took over Medical
Directorship of both between 2007 and 2009.
I couldn’t do my job without the help of John Underwood and John Carney who assist in
training and setting up the training sessions and people like Jeff Quick and Mike Passarelli
and the guys and I feel very blessed to work with such a great crew of people. I love doing it
and I love the City of Tallmadge and I am glad we were able to help with this great outcome.
Thank you very much.
Mrs. Ray: Thank you. OK. We can just end right now. Everyone just go home. We don’t
need to talk about anything else!!
Mayor: We still have work to do.
Mrs. Ray: It is wonderful. I think what we sometimes forget is the patient, but you can see
her whole entire family sitting there and so the actions of this great Fire Department of ours
will now ripple down through generations and they are still able to have their mom and their
grandmother for much longer. So, thanks you guys.
6.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS: We have a Board of Control meeting followed by an Investment Board
meeting following the Regular Council meeting this evening. We will also have an Executive
Session prior to adjournment regarding land acquisition and pending litigation.
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 DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR
Mayor: Thank you Mr. Chairman. I will try to be pretty brief. As you can see the photo that
is up there that was just sent to me today by Danbury; that is really a current photo. If you
look in the background way in the back upper corner; that is the Testa building. You can see
that that end of the building is up that high already, but this is a photo that they are starting
their promotion with. As you can see, it is a pretty large building that is spread out.
Danbury had their third meeting this past week at the Community Center to talk to residents.
They are already booking rooms and it sounds like they are doing their State final inspection
next Tuesday and after that then they will be open for business. So it is really moving along
pretty well.
The other thing that we had this week, as you can see, these are our two newest Officers
that were just sworn in yesterday. That is Vince DeLorenzo, or Anthony DeLorenzo and
Robert Trexler. That is Trexler and that is DeLorenzo and Chief Williams. I just wanted to let
you know that.
Mrs. Ray: OK. We are paying attention.
Mayor: So, it is pretty neat that we have now, through the help of City Council, to be able to
hire four Officers with the lateral transfer. That is the last hiring for right now in that department.
We have been doing some joint meetings internally with the Dispatch Center and I know that
Craig, you brought it up Monday, but we didn’t continue with that conversation, but we have
another meeting tomorrow with Stow and Cuyahoga Falls at noon tomorrow and then we will
be able to get Council back involved. Things are progressing. We met with some other players
there and we will give you more updates as we get them. I will leave it at that.
Dir. of Pub. Service: Yes, thank you. We have a crew that is assembling our new salt
storage structure down at the Service Center. It is going to hold about 2,400 tons of salt.
Salt prices this year are $51.47 a ton. Tallmadge’s bid point quantity; each year we have to
tell them how many tons we are going to use and we have to take 80% of that. We are asking
for 3,150 tons this year and 80% of that is 2,520 and that comes out to $129,704 that we will
have to spend this year. We have to make that 80%, but they should have that done in the
next few days and we will start filling that structure. Our current salt dome is already full and
we also have some salt out on our North Munroe complex and so we will be all ready for
winter. We will have enough salt for the whole season and so we won’t have to worry about
any shortages.
North Avenue; they put down base asphalt and the cutouts today. They plan on milling next
for some of the high spots of the old asphalt and that will be followed by an intermediate course
of asphalt and so we will have an intermediate course for the full width of the project and they
will move traffic to the center and they will start . . . if you have noticed; there aren’t any inlets
along the curb lines yet. They have cut those in for those and do sidewalk work and street
lights and things like that, but we expect to have surface course asphalt this year yet and so
we are happy to have that known.
Leaf Collection; we have a tentative start date for that which is October 24th. The Street
Department has decided to do things a little differently this year. We used to do it in sections
of the City each week and we have a lot of nice, newer equipment and the Street
Superintendent feels that he has the manpower and everything to try to do the whole City in
every 7 to 8 days and so we won’t have the piles sitting there for weeks at a time and so we
will try that. Again, that tentative start date is October 24th. End of report.

REGULAR MEETING
in Council Chambers @ 7:00 p.m. October 13, 16
Mr. Stalnaker: You are going to have quite a crew to replace Dave Bierce’s mailbox.
Dir. of Pub. Service: Well, we are not doing it. That is a lot of concrete under that thing.
Mr. Sisak: Is that salt price that you quoted for like $51,000 and some change; is that up or
down from last year?
Dir. of Pub. Service: That is the same price as last year.
Mr. Sisak: Same price as last year and it is still going through . . .
Dir. of Pub. Service: It will go through June next year.
Mr. Sisak: Is there like a collective group where we are getting . . .
Dir. of Pub. Service: CUE.
Mr. Sisak: CUE; OK. Then number two, I noticed that in front of Tallmadge Meadows on 91
there are like three or four barrels. Are we having problems with drainage there?
Dir. of Pub. Service: Well, it is actually a rotted out crossover; 12” crossover. Half of that
road is Munroe Falls and half of it is ours and we are getting some prices for some contractors
that do the work up there now and Munroe Falls has agreed to split the cost of it with us on
that. So as soon as we can get a contractor to do it . . .
Mr. Sisak: So right now it just holds water?
Dir. of Pub. Service: It actually drains over to a drain over by the food market over towards
our side.
Mr. Sisak: Yeah, I have seen them there for three or four weeks now.
Dir. of Pub. Service: Yeah. We had to get an agreement with Munroe Falls to participate
and then trying to get some contractors lined up.
Mr. Sisak: OK.
Mrs. Kilway: In reference to the North Avenue Project; it looks like it is coming along
fabulously, but are we on schedule?
Dir. of Pub. Service: Yes and no. The original contract called for it to be completed by the
end of November, but no; it is not going to be. Will it be done within the 210 days; probably,
but what we will do, and it depends on the weather . . . what we will probably do is let them
suspend it once they get the asphalt down and stuff. If the weather is great, they will continue
to work on the sidewalks and things. If it is cold weather, there are things that they can do to
keep pouring. But, I fully expect that they will pull off and come back in the spring just to do
the finish up work and the right of way.
Dir. of Finance: Good evening. Everybody should have received their monthly financial
reports and so if anybody has any questions on those; I would ask if Council would consider
adopting Ord. 70-2016 tonight at 1st Reading. This ordinance is actually . . . I was actually
unable to complete my interest transfer out of the Investment Interest Fund into the Receiving
Funds because we had already in September exceeded our interest estimate for the year and
so that is a good thing. So we are way ahead of where we were last year. I expect that we
will probably exceed that estimate by at least $10,000 so that is great. The interest rates have
been going up; they are not high but they are higher than they were and we have been able
to receive some better rates and so I would just ask that you adopt that so I can go ahead and
make that transfer and be able to put it into the funds that it belongs in. End of report.
Dir. of Law: Thank you. I have two things to report on this evening. The first is that the Stow
Municipal Court is going to adopt a new probationary tract. They are actually going to utilize
the Akron Drug Court as a post sentencing program that they can send people who really
need to have help with their drug addictions to go through. It is a much more intensive and a
longer program than they are able to offer through the Community Control Department at the
Stow Municipal Court and so Judge Hoover has been working in conjunction with Judge
Oldfield’s court who currently runs the Akron Drug Court in order to get that up and running
and they are looking to start that in the next month or so. So, that is an exciting opportunity.
It is not a diversion; people aren’t going to get their records sealed, but it will be able to fast
track people because Akron does have some good contracts for drug related service
providers. So, we are excited about that new program.
Secondly we are going to do another Drug Take-Back Day on October 22nd. We are going
to do it here at the Tallmadge Police Department from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and we are
very pleased that we have a new partner in that. Acme Fresh Markets has asked to host a
table at their location here in town on the same day and during the same time period to allow
people to also drop off their unused prescription or over the counter drugs and so we will be
manning that as well. So we are excited to do that. I believe that the Acme is going to be
doing that in several different locations and we are listed as part of the DEA’s program. This
is the overall National Drug Take Back Day and so again, we will be looking forward to that
not this Saturday, but next Saturday, October 22nd. End of report.
Economic Developer: I have nothing to report this evening. End of report.
