5. REMARKS OF DELEGATIONS AND CITIZENS TO MATTERS ON THE AGENDA
MR. KEIFER – 320 First St NW, Massillon. Manager of the Buckeye Club that’s interested in that lot that the city has a sign on.
KATHY BATES – 742 32nd Street NW. I am just going to speak against Resolution No. 2 again for the senior housing development on the 10 acres behind Noble. I just hope it doesn’t happen like we said before most people on Noble and 32nd Street have very nice homes with acreage. We like the peace and the quiet, there’s creeks and hills back there for wildlife. That is mining land there are mining openings on the property next to mine. I think they would have to build that up substantially to build on it and there would be run off which would cause sewer problems which there already are on those streets. There would be more traffic probably noise and I’m sure it would lower property values by probably a lot. We’ve all worked hard to make our homes and properties nice so that it would be worth a lot of money and a nice place to live. I would hate to see that happen. Thank you.
MARION PERKINS – 343 Beckman Avenue SE, Massillon, Ohio. I’d like to express my support for Resolution No. 3 for the senior citizens housing development proposed by PIRHL. One of the (Inaudible) is the infrastructures of our communities and also for the fourth ward that would be an additional or addition to our ward especially off of Walnut and 16th Street in that area. Just attending that session last week if a couple of the designs are accepted I think that would be an addition to what is going on with the development in the fourth ward presently. Thank you.
SAM MILLER - I live at 612 Noble Place NW. I’m still opposed to the Resolution No. 2 and at the third reading in two weeks we are going to present our petitions for it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Seeing no one else approaching the microphone; Mr. Mang, do you have a request?
COUNCILMAN MANG – Yes, I’d like to move Resolution No. 2 and Resolution No. 3 to the front of the agenda for the purpose of giving it second reading and at the same time giving the people in attendance the opportunity to stay or they may be able to move on and go home.
6. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
RESOLUTION NO. 2 – 2006 BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANG –.Yes, this is proposal by LW for the Noble area. I can tell you to date the developer has not corresponded with the committee since the last time we had our meeting. But we will give this the second reading tonight.
RESOLUTION NO. 2 – 2006 WAS GIVEN SECOND READING.
RESOLUTION NO. 3 – 2006 BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANG –.Yes, last week we had a nice meeting up in the fourth ward Tony Townsend had a nice group of people there. They contributed an awful a lot in their conversations with us and one of the topics that was brought up at that time. They were concerned about an oil well or a gas well that was proposed to be built behind this proposed senior citizen project. In checking with the State, the State is telling us to date that there’s no one who has taken out a permit or who has sought information from them about putting a well in that area. Now the Clerk did a nice job by calling down there to the Division of Mineral Resources and Management to find that out. I know that there were several people in the meetings that were concerned about that and we can tell you at this point no one has approached the State about an oil well or a gas well. I also want to thank the people that were at our meeting. I think we had some fine dialogue and I know that the developer certainly appreciated your comments and we will be giving this a second reading. Third reading will be held at our next council meeting which is March 6th.
RESOLUTION NO. 3 – 2006 WAS GIVEN SECOND READING.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN – The developer David has some more information would it be allowed for him to speak on the matter.
DAVID URAM– Just to add to Councilman Mang’s point we also in response to the last meeting spoke with the land owner Tom Dawinger about this very issue related to the gas wells. He has assured us that he is not pursuing a gas well on that property at all currently. He further is and his attorney will provide us with a letter by the end of this week on the attorney’s letter head stating that fact. So there is no chance of a gas well being any near a senior development on that property. Thank you very much.
ORDINANCE NO. 27 - 2006 BY: ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANSON – Yes, we discussed this at last week’s committee session. This is our first I believe grant the Safety Service Director said for composting. So this is free money to the city and if there’s any question we have the Safety Service Director here he can answer your questions.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN – I do have a question; if I could ask the Safety Service Director a question. Mr. Loudiana, if we receive this grant what are we going to do? What program are we going to offer?
SAFETY SERVICE DIRECTOR LOUDIANA – The only thing we can do or use this grant for is wages and disposal of leaves, branches, those types of things that can go into a compost that we pick up every year. So this will go towards our leaf pick up next year. As I mentioned at the committee meeting that this year’s cost was relatively small so next year we’re going to try and have other outposts where they can drop leaves off which will take additional manning.
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – Mr. Loudiana, as you know in the past I’ve asked you questions about sweeping for the leaves is that going to be considered with this grant or just additional sites to drop off?
SAFETY SERVICE DIRECTOR LOUDIANA – Sweeping?
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – The leaves in the past we had a leaf program.
SAFETY SERVICE DIRECTOR LOUDIANA – Oh sucked them up; we vacuumed them we’re not going to vacuum then no. This is I’ll mention I don’t think you were here Kathy, that this was much cheaper last time we vacuumed them we figured with overtime the cost is about $70,000.00. So it’s extremely costly a lot of overtime, leaves get wet they don’t come up. So, no I don’t think we’ll be doing it.
COUNCILMAN MANSON moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilwoman Ferrero.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 27 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
ORDINANCE NO. 28 – 2006 BY: ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANSON –.Same thing, we discussed this at the last committee meeting. This is a grant I believe it was an increase over last year, right Michael? A $5,000.00 increase over last year.
COUNCILMAN MANSON moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilwoman Ferrero.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.

The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 30 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
ORDINANCE NO. 31 – 2006 BY: PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN BRYAN – I was I got a phone call from our Golf Director Craig Immel today asking if I thought he should be here and I told him that I didn’t really think it was necessary. So if he’s not here don’t blame him it’s my fault. The ordinance simply allows us to go out for bids for the rental of golf carts for the Legends which is something we necessarily have to do. The bid specs are attached I think everybody got a copy I hope. But I intend to move this forward tonight and ask for suspension of the rules because we need to get the golf carts in service pretty quick.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilman Maier.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.

COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – This first one in section 1 is to appropriate money to pay for survey work that was done in the Lincoln Centre area. The second one is $4,800.00 and Bill would you please help me out here. Is that could you please explain the $4,800.00?
AUDITOR HAMIT – This was the money for Seifert Technologies.
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – That’s what I thought. Since we gave that first reading Mr. President, would you suggest that we amend this and split this ordinance?
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – You’re agreeing to spend the money, but it won’t actually be spent until the other ordinance is approved. But we can ask the Law Director; should this be stricken from the ordinance?
LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – We can always unappropriate it later on if you choose not to pass the first ordinance. So appropriating at this point does not mean it has to be spent it just sits there. I’d leave it as is another words.
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – This is we just gave Seifert Technologies that ordinance first reading. So the $4,800.00 is for that if we decide to pass that. So we will follow the Law Director’s suggestion and guidance and I’d like to suspend the rules.

ORDINANCE NO. 37 – 2006 BY: POLICE AND FIRE COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MAIER – Yes, first off I’d like to go on the record and clear up a couple of things that were erroneously reported in the Massillon paper this morning. One of them is that I was quoted as saying that I would pass tonight and that is not what I said. What I told the reporter last night was that I had not seen it and I can’t pass something or comment on something that I have not seen or read. Having said that we have met in and I’ve talked to the council has met with Mr. Loudiana he’s brought us up to date with that.. The second item I’d like to clear up is at no time were there any secret deals or phone calls or anything made on committee assignments and I wanted to clear that up also because that’s been reported a couple of times and I just wanted to make sure that goes on the record. Having said that I’d like to call Chief Rob Williams up. Chief Williams we have the committee has met as a whole and we’ve talked to Mr. Loudiana who negotiated this contract for several months. I would like to ask you a few questions on this contract. Is it your opinion that this is a good contract for the police department and the city? (Very much so) Basically the police department is sacrificing a little bit this first year am I correct on this with the zero or whatever? (As far as monetary, yes sir. They are accepting a 0% percent raise this year). Do you recommend that we pass this tonight for the betterment of the city?
POLICE CHIEF WILLIAMS – Certainly, I’d appreciate it so we can get on with the business of the police department under the agreed upon contract. So yes.
COUNCILMAN MAIER moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilman McCune.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 37 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – I’d like to thank the Safety Service Director Mike Loudiana for all of the time and effort he put in on this contract and everyone else who was involved.
RESOLUTION NO. 7 – 2006 BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANG – Yes, Resolution No. 7 deals with adding additional 40 single family homes to be scattered on various sites in the City of Massillon. They’re presently in the process the NRP Group building x amount of homes at his point. We had a little bit of a discussion about this before and I will be giving it a first reading and likely we’ll have some pictures for council to see at our work session...

COUNCILMAN BRYAN – I have a report from the Park and Rec. Committee. At our next Committee Meeting on February 27th Mr. Immel from the Legends and I believe Park and Rec. Director Ken Kaminski will be at our meeting to discuss some issues including the purchase of some equipment and new golf course discounts for Massillon residents. So if we don’t have other employees/visitor’s I might want to move the Park and Rec. Committee up to the top of the list.
12. RESOLUTIONS AND REQUESTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – I would just like to thank everyone for the calls and the prayers while I was in the hospital last Monday evening. It was very much appreciated.
COUNCILMAN MANG – I have an unusual request to make of council. First I would ask the Law Director if I could even proceed the question would be in Resolution No. 3 for the PIRHL Developer can I reconsider that and bring that forward for questioning of passage.
LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – I would have to take a recess.
COUNCILMAN MANG – I have a request from the ward councilman to move this forward with the belief of the people that we have this evening.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – If I may make a suggestion we’ll proceed with the rest of our agenda and the Law Director would like to check that out. We do have the Robert’s Rules over here.
COUNCILWOMAN FERRERO – The only thing that I have a little bit of a concern about was that at the meeting that I attended we told those people that it would come forward to vote on that first Monday of March. I know that there are people here in favor and I read the favorable article in the paper this week, but in all fairness to everyone that was at that first meeting that’s what we stated that it would go through three readings. That’s what we told those people that were there. So why we are changing that in mid air is my question to Mr. Townsend or…
COUNCILMAN MANG – Tony?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND – Well, the second meeting kind of took a change. It took a turn for more people who wanted to support the PIRHL Developers. But, you know, I look in the crowd and I still see some of the people that attended the first meeting and the second meeting. I don’t know is it possible that I can call some of the people up and I know I heard one individual that was supporting the development. But I do know there’s quite a few other people in the audience and I would like if possible to hear how they feel about it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Mr. Townsend, that’s more appropriate for a council meeting or at the beginning of the meeting they had an opportunity to come forward.
COUNCILWOMAN FERRERO – I guess my biggest concern is that is what we told these people at that meeting. That the vote would not go forward until the first Monday in March and I just think that we should keep our word on that. That’s just my personal opinion.
COUNCILMAN MAIER – Yes, I would agree with Jayne Ferrero on that with Councilwoman Ferrero. When we tell the people something we should follow through with that. I realize there are some people that would like to have it brought forward. I don’t know that a couple of weeks will make that much difference on the development. I may be wrong, unless there’s a reason for that we wouldn’t the delay would cost.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – My understanding is that the application deadline is mid March is that correct Mr. Mang?
COUNCILMAN MANG – Yes, Mr. President, after hearing the wishes of council members I withdraw my request and we’re back to regular business.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Thank you, just as a point of information I would like to have the Law Director to report to us in the event this occurs again.
LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – Just a quick review I would say based upon partially upon our own Rule 30 we already gave it second reading and we didn’t order anything otherwise and it shall be laid on the table until the next regular meeting of council when the same shall be read at a third time that I think in light of that we gave it the second reading and chose to do that then we can’t then go and reconsider it at the end of the same meeting. Then the comments you all made are even more pertinent that we told everybody we were I believe going to give it three readings. So that’s my decision.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – May I ask for a memo from you to that regard we’ll put that on file and that way we’ll have it. (Sure.) Thank you, Mr. Stergios.
13. CALL OF THE CALENDAR - NOTHING
14. THIRD READING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS - NOTHING
15. SECOND READING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Mr. Mang, the Mayor indicated that he would like to speak on this.
ORDINANCE NO. 13 – 2006 BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MANG – Yes, I think all members of council had an opportunity to view the property and view the sign. It seems like the sign went up before the authorization to proceed. But in either case I think it’s quite obvious that we should go ahead with this piece of legislation since it so stated that the city really has no need for this as far as any municipal purpose.
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - Just to answer Mr. Keifer’s question concerning the property. If council does pass this, this evening then it will be given as soon as it’s passed and signed into law then we will advertise in the newspaper and anyone who would want to bid on it would have an opportunity to bid on it. It will be advertised in the newspaper I believe 5 consecutive weeks. Then we’ll open the bids and we’ll come to council and to review the bids and go from there. So everyone will have an opportunity to bid it. The minimum bid that the engineering department put on the parcels is $15,000.00 so everyone knows.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Mr. Mayor, with council’s permission I have a question. I don’t have it in front me I seem to recall one of the whereas’ indicated that the purchaser would pay all costs associated with the sale does include the newspaper advertising? Would that be a cost of the sale?
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - No, I think that means closing costs. But I can look into that, but I think that means closing costs; normally we pay that because we do own the property that we’re advertising it.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN – Yes, I was going to ask about the $15,000.00 minimum that is that’s an Administrative decision I don’t think it’s in the ordinance if I remember reading it. But, so it there’s no bids of at least $15,000.00 they’re just all be thrown out, correct?
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - We can, but we’ll come back to council with that.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN – Well, that’s the other thing if say for instance someone wants to buy the property council will have the again the opportunity to make up another decision when we go to sell them that property; is that correct? Because obviously I mean it’s far fetched but there could be something planned that we wouldn’t enjoy having there you know what I mean.
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - Council has the final say on anything like that.
COUNCILMAN BRYAN –On transfer of property we’re still going to get another chance to vote on whether or not to sell it to the successful bidder. Chances are we would or we wouldn’t go through this exercise. But just in the case that we wouldn’t.
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - We’ll take it one step further we’ll bring all the bids that we get and we’ll share that with council and their plans for the parcel and council makes the inevitable decision.
COUNCILWOMAN FERRERO – Mr. Mayor, could you tell me how that is zoned?
MAYOR CICCHINELLI - I believe it’s residential; it was purchased as part of the Lincoln Centre Redevelopment Project and any proceeds any dollars that we get will have to go into that bond fund. So you know that.
COUNCILMAN MANG moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilman Bryan.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 13 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
ORDINANCE NO. 16 – 2006 BY: PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE
COUNCILMAN MCCUNE – Yeah, this is an ordinance that we discussed a couple work sessions ago and had first reading on. This would grant Great Lakes drilling rights within the 46 acre parcel that is mentioned in the ordinance. The city would get some royalties ever how small or large they may be. We have Mike Loudiana here if anyone has any questions I’d like to give them the opportunity to answer those.
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – I just noticed on the actually agreement the lease agreement it says section 8 southeast and southwest of Perry Township. City of Massillon is this partially in Perry and partially in Massillon? If so have they approved it?
COUNCILMAN MCCUNE – Mike, you want to come up and answer questions to this, please?
SAFETY SERVICE DIRECTOR LOUDIANA – Yes, I believe what you’re referring to is the old city deeds which were called Perry Township then.
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – So it is completely in the City of Massillon? (Yes) Thank you.
COUNCILMAN MCCUNE moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilman Mang.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 16 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
ORDINANCE NO. 21 – 2006 BY: STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TRAFFIC & SAFETY
COUNCILMAN PETERS – Everyone should have a copy of this amended map for Ordinance No. 21. If there aren’t any questions I’d like to move to amend Ordinance No. 21 to include this amended map.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – What does the ordinance say about the attachment?
COUNCILMAN PETERS – Okay, I’m sorry I wasn’t following what you were saying. But the original one said 5.76 acre lot into 7 new lots approximately ¾ acres and that’s going to amend to say 6 lots.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Alright, if you would read the changes in the ordinance itself.
COUNCILMAN PETERS – The request is to split 5.76 acre lot into 6 new lots approximately ¾ acres.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – That’s what the new language will read? (Yes) Does everyone have that? Mr. Stergios?
LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – Mr. Peters, I think we should change the acreage or delete the reference to the acreage since that doesn’t the acreage appears to have changed and this is the first time I’ve seen it so I’m…
COUNCILMAN PETERS – But the acres change on every single lot.
LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – I’d say amended it say 6 lots as further described on exhibit “a: attached hereto and mark this as exhibit “a” tonight then it ends any debate about the acreage.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAMBER – Alright, we’ll pick that up off the tape as far as the exact wording of the amendment everyone gets the intent that we are.
COUNCILWOMAN FERRERO – Mr. Peters, in section 1 at the bottom portion it says Provident Development it should say Providence and then down below under Meadows Plaza property it should be Concord Village. (That was changed.) Okay.
COUNCILMAN PETERS moved to amend the map for Ordinance No. 21 – 2006, seconded by Councilwoman Catazaro-Perry.
Roll call vote of 9 yes to amend the map to Ordinance No. 21 – 2006.
COUNCILMAN PETERS moved for suspension of the rules and passage, seconded by Councilman Mang.
The rules were suspended by a roll call vote of 9 yes.
ORDINANCE NO. 21 – 2006 WAS PASSED BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 9 YES.
ORDINANCE NO. 26 – 2006 BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE
COUNCILWOMAN CATAZARO-PERRY – I believe there are some council members that would like to make some comments if that’s appropriate at this time. Paul, did you have comment?
COUNCILMAN MANSON – I was just going to suggest we give it second reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 26 – 2006 WAS GIVEN SECOND READING.
