COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 1. Regarding the CDBG Program, an 11% reduction in HUD funding is complicating the City’s proposed budget allocation for the upcoming FY2006 year, which will begin on July 1. These funding decreases will make it extremely difficult for the City to continue to fund all the local organizations it has previously supported in the past. This problem is not unique to Massillon, but is being faced by communities across the country. The Administration is currently reviewing project 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 with 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 met with the Stark County Treasurer to learn about the County’s proposed Negotiated Tax Lien Sale Program and how it might impact tax delinquent parcels in Massillon. 5. The CD Director, along with the Housing Director, attended a progress meeting with the developers of the Massillon Homes Tax Credit Project currently under construction. 6. The CD Director attended meetings of the State of Ohio Consolidated Plan Advisory Committee and the Massillon Public Library Board of Trustees.

HOUSING: The Department received approximately 65 calls regarding Fair Housing Laws and landlord/tenant issues. Several people were referred to Community Legal Aid Services, Inc. for legal advice or other agencies for homeless prevention or financial assistance. Fair Housing rental testing was conducted from a questionable advertisement listed in the classified section of the local newspaper. No evidence of discrimination was found upon investigation. As a member of the 2006 Stark County Interagency on Homelessness Evaluation Team, I participated in 2 meetings. At the workshop session for the 2006 HUD grant proposals, the application process and pre-application form for the Homeless Continuum of Care funding were reviewed. At the second session, an overview of the pre-application, review process and site visit plans were discussed. I attended the United Way of Greater Stark County’s Families Outcomes Review Group meeting. The agency is evaluating the programs being funded and community need. Aane Aaby and I met with Stark County Regional Planning Commission officials regarding the HOME Program contract. The City participates in a HOME consortium with Alliance and Stark County. We will continue providing housing rehabilitation and home buyer assistance for low and moderate income families in the City. Our program is highly regarded by County and HUD officials. I attended a meeting hosted by 4th Ward Councilman Tony Townsend regarding the Massillon Homes Phase 2 proposal to construct additional homes in the City’s southeast quadrant. The purpose of the meeting was to give residents an opportunity to comment on the proposal. I met with the Stark County Fair Housing Director to discuss a proposal for her agency to conduct testing as required by HUD. We are continuing to test in the areas noted in the Impediments Study. I participated in a Massillon Homes Development Team meeting. The meeting consisted a progress reports from the construction supervisor, rental agency and non-profit partner. We also discussed Massillon Homes Phase 2. I participated in the Western Stark Medical Clinic, Inc. (WSMC) Board of Directors’ meeting. The Director and various committees reported. The clinic recently hired a new office manager, who is doing an excellent job. The Executive Director has been working with State officials on legislation which will require nursing homes to donate unused drugs to clinics such as WSMC. The clinic is also looking for a larger facility due to expanded programs. After conducting a per-construction, one contract was signed for full Housing Rehabilitation, one project was completed and another is progressing. Two applications were accepted for the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program, three projects were completed and a write up was requested for one new project. One application was accepted for the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program and one contract was signed for down payment assistance. The rehabilitation portion for two projects were signed from bids received and one project was completed. One wheelchair ramp is due to be installed as soon as the weather permits.

EEO: This month was devoted to settling in, meeting new co-workers and attending a Civil Service Commission meeting.

GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue: Golf revenue totaled $2,421.00 compared to $215.00 a year ago. Year-to-date golf revenues now total $6,228.00 versus $1,825.00 last year. Golf Course: The golf course has remained closed and will reopen March 15th weather permitting. Renovation was completed on the maintenance building and our operations moved back into the facility in early February. Jim Paulus was hired as an independent contractor to serve as our new mechanic. The Park Board approved the purchase of new equipment recommended by Superintendent Webb that totaled $104,000.00. The equipment includes a new rough mower along with 2 trim mowers. These mowers are needed to enable us to lower the cut of rough in critical areas. Our current trim mower is also very old and has a straight deck making it incapable to reduce the mowing height in undulating areas. These mowers will also enable us to introduce an intermediate cut along the fairways. This equipment will essentially make the course more playable and enjoyable to play, speed up play and enhance its’ conditioning and appearance since we will now be able to mow these areas 3x weekly rather than twice. Reorganization: All operations at The Legends were carefully evaluated to develop a solid business plan geared to improve the total golf experience. The cornerstones are golf course conditioning and customer service. In addition to a superintendent and more equipment, our maintenance staff needs more manpower including experienced, skilled workers. In golf operations we need rangers every day during peak season along with more starters, sales clerks, reservations and part-time administrative help. Numerous capital improvements are also an essential part of the plan. Virtually everyone agrees that the Legends must offer a higher quality golf experience to maximize its success. Despite additional funding, we continue to face tremendous challenges. After considering all options, a decision was made to reorganize reducing the number of full-time personnel from 5 to 3. This created the flexibility to meet our objectives of increasing and upgrading our personnel during the critical golf season. Unfortunately, the full-time positions of golf professional and maintenance foreman were eliminated along with the part-time position of golf course laborer. Massillon Discount: The Massillon Parks and Recreation Board passed a motion made by The Legends to increase the discount for Massillon City residents and/or taxpayers as follows: 18 Holes-$4.00 (current discount $2.00); 9 Holes-$2.00 (current discount $1.00). This discount may be applied toward prevailing rates at the time of play. The discount is not applicable toward league play, outings, special events and specials and may not be combined with any other discounts. Seasonal Pay Ranges: The Legends golf course recommended a revision to their seasonal pay ranges as stated below. This motion was passed by the Massillon Parks and Recreation Board. (See attachment)
