COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 1. Regarding the CDBG Program, the City was notified by the U.S. Department OF Housing and Urban Development that its CDBG entitlement grant for FY 2006 will be $749,597.00. This represents a decrease of $91,241.00 or 10.85% from FY 2005. Funding decreases of this magnitude will make it extremely difficult for the City to continue to fund all the local organizations it has previously supported in the past, without significant decreases. The City has received CDBG funding requests totaling over $1.1 million dollars for the FY 2006 Program Year, which will begin July 1. The Administration is currently reviewing these proposals and will soon prepare a budget recommendation to Council. The City is also following closely Federal discussions regarding possible changes to the formula used to calculate communities’ annual block grant funding. If any of the four possible formula changes are adopted, Massillon’s annual CDBG entitlement could drop as much as 40%. This would be a devastating blow to the City’s housing and community development programs. 2. The City has met several developers interested in applying to the State of Ohio for tax credits to assist in the development of senior citizen housing. These developers will be asking the City for resolutions of support as part of their applications. 3. The CD Department is busy working on the City’s Enterprise Zone Program Annual Performance Report for submission to the Ohio Department of Development. This report contains information on those companies who have received tax exemptions from the City, including information on employment, project investment, taxes paid and abated. The report will also be submitted to the City’s Tax Incentive Review Committee, then to City Council. 4. The CD Director attended meetings of the Massillon Public Library Board of Trustees and the Ohio Conference of Community Development.

HOUSING: The Department received approximately 70 calls and visits regarding Fair Housing Laws and tenant/landlord issues. A number of people were referred to Community Legal Aid Services, Inc. for legal advice or other agencies for homeless prevention or financial assistance. Information was provided to several landlords and tenants regarding their rights. I participated in a meeting regarding plans for a senior housing development in Massillon. A representative from PIRHL Developers LLC is proposing to construct a 60 unit three-story structure on Walnut Rd. S.E. this Tax Credit Program will serve income eligible citizens 55 years of age and older. I participated in the Stark County Housing Task Force Planning Committee meeting. We discussed future topics to be considered for the Task Force and other related topics occurring in Stark County. We also discussed predatory lending and procedures to help prevent foreclosures. I participated in the Habitat for Humanity dedication ceremony for the 26th home to be built by the organization in the City. It was the first new home to be built in Walnut Hills in 60 years. The couple who have lived in the neighborhood and are active with the association are excited to be homeowners. I participated in the Stark County Interagency Council on Homelessness Evaluation Team meeting. At the meeting, we developed procedures for a workshop for applicants to be held in February. I attended the Walnut Hills Residents Association meeting. Recent events and plans for the year were discussed. There also was a presentation about energy conservation and assistance with gas bills. I provided the group with information about a program available to assist eligible applicants with their income tax returns and receiving earned income credit. I participated in a Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Advisory Committee meeting. This meeting was a follow-up to the December meeting. SCOPP had to present additional information about their grant request. I participated in the regularly scheduled Western Stark County Medical Clinic (WSCMC) Board of Directors meeting. The Chief Executive Officer reported on general operations, technology and Senate Bill 228 which allows agencies, such as the clinic, to receive unused prescription drugs. We also discussed the strategic plan and its implementation. I participated in the strategic plan sessions for WSCMC. We developed strategies and time lines for improving the clinic. I attended the Stark County Housing Task Force meeting. Discussed at the session were reports about housing issues from the Homeless Collaborative, Interagency Council on Homelessness and Summit Neighborhood. A roundtable discussion was conducted regarding Predatory Lending, during which I provided the group with information I use to help our clientele avoid predatory situations. At the AHEAD Board meeting, we reviewed and discussed the organization’s strategic plan and possible new board members. AHEAD was recently awarded an Arts in Stark grant for the after school program. I attended the quarterly meeting for the Stark County FEMA Board. We reviewed applications for funding and allocated funds from the Phase 24 Emergency Food and Shelter (EFA) Program funding . Stark County was awarded $252,381.00 from the EFS funding. This was a slight increase of the $21,209.00. Several agencies in Massillon received funding. The Fair Housing Board met. After the minutes of the last meeting were approved, questions were answered regarding the Department’s monthly reports. There was also an update regarding the 50 new homes being built at scattered sites in the southeast side of Massillon. A date and time was established to conduct a Tenant/Landlord seminar during Fair Housing Month in April. During the meeting, it was agreed to conduct insurance testing with the cooperation of the Stark County Fair Housing office. An unlawful housing discrimination complaint was submitted to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. The case was later withdrawn by the parties due to a mutual conciliation. Two applications were accepted for participation in the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program. Three contracts were signed, three projects were completed and three are progressing. One application was accepted for the full Housing Rehabilitation Program. A contract was signed after I conducted a pre-construction meeting, two projects are progressing and one write up was requested. Six applications were accepted for the Homebuyer’s Assistance Program. The rehabilitation portion for two Homebuyers Assistance projects were completed. Two contracts were signed from bids received and two projects were solicited for bids.

SEWER/WASTE COLLECTIONS: Our new customers numbered 26 and we had 40 customers whose service was discontinued. We picked up extra items for customers at 103 locations at an additional cost of $1,098.00. We had three (3) dumpsters placed on a temporary basis. The Waste Department will be asking for a rate increase in the very near future. Our last increase was effective January 1, 2003. Since that time, this Department has absorbed the increase of wages, fuel and general operating expenses. Hopefully this increase can be effective as soon as April 1, 2006.

INCOME TAX: Income Tax collections were up 5% from same time last year. Revenue for the first few days of February is also above last year’s income. I’m cautiously optimistic that this increase is a good indicator that revenues will remain strong for 2006. We sent 156 more delinquent accounts to our collection agency. The total due on these accounts was over $100,000.00. They continue to do a good job of collecting revenue from our delinquent accounts. The 2006 tax season is officially under way.

GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue: Golf revenue totaled $3,807.00 versus $1,610.00 a year ago. Golf Course: Despite mild weather, the golf course remains closed and will reopen March 15th weather permitting. Our golf course has extremely poor drainage and is perhaps the wettest course in the area. From past experience, we firmly believe it is the best business decision to remain closed during the Jan./Feb. period. Most of our cart fleet has been picked up with the balance scheduled to leave soon for winter servicing. We have made a decision to reroute the golf course for next season. The east nine will now begin across Augusta Drive on old No. 3. Therefore, holes Nos. 1-7 will now be played on the north side of Augusta Drive with the nine finishing on old Nos. 1&2 which will now be Nos. 8&9. Restoration of the maintenance building is proceeding and our staff expects to occupy the building sometime in February. Staffing: Our new Superintendent, Aaron Webb, began his duties January 3rd. Aaron’s immediate priorities are assessing our equipment fleet, the maintenance staff and establishing short and long term priorities for the golf course. Marketing: The Legends will once again share a booth with the Canton Holiday Inn at both the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Golf Shows. The Cleveland Show is February 17-19 and the Pittsburgh Show is Mary 3-5. We have developed a new 8 panel color brochure that is scheduled for delivery February 16th. The Legends made application and was awarded a $600 grant from the Stark County Convention and Visitors Bureau toward this project. Thanks to Margy Vogt for her valuable assistance to this project. We are pleased to announce that our booth at the shows will feature new display materials. This year we plan to track the value the shows offer by offering a special coupon valid for a $10.00 discount for 18 holes with cart through May 31st. A new color scorecard that will feature all three nines is in the final stages of development and will be used once the course opens. Memberships: All golf memberships continue to sell. The new weekday Affiliate membership has proved to be extremely popular and we have actually met the quota for this category. As a result we have decided to sell only ten additional Affiliate memberships and the price is now $695.00. Our new corporate membership is now available and will be strictly limited to 50 memberships or 125 designees.
