A public hearing on the budget was held before City Council on April 17. Due to Congressional funding reductions, the City’s FY2006 CDBG entitlement grant has been reduced 11%, which is $90,000.00 less than 2005. The CDBG Application must be approved and submitted to HUD by May 15. The FY2006 Program Year begins July 1. As an aside, in the last 5 years, the City’s CDBG entitlement has been reduced over $200,000.00, or 21%. President Bush’s proposed FY2007 Budget calls for an additional 27% reduction in the CDBG Program. In addition, HUD is proposing a change in the formula which distributes CDBG funding to local communities. If the formula change is approved by Congress, Massillon’s CDBG entitlement grant could be reduced another 40%. (These proposed changes do not affect only Massillon, most communities in Ohio would see reduced CDBG funding under the proposed formula changes.) 2. The CD Department has been working with Polymer Packaging, Inc., a Stark County manufacturer of zip lock plastic containers for the food industry, on a tax abatement application for its proposed relocation to Massillon, to an existing 10 acre site at 800 Navarre Road S.E. The city is awaiting approval of a Waiver request from the Ohio Department of Development for this project, because Polymer Packaging has an existing enterprise zone agreement for its present location in Jackson Township, and state law requires that a waiver be granted before a company with an existing enterprise zone can move and receive another abatement at its new location. 3. The Site Plan Review Committee reviewed the site plans for condominium developments at Cherry Springs and Buckeye Crossing at University Village. 4. The CD Director attended the Spring Quarterly Meeting of the Ohio Conference of Community Development (OCCD). 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. It was necessary to provide information to several landlords and tenants regarding their rights. This office conducted two Fair Housing rental tests from questionable advertisements listed in the classified section of the local newspaper. No evidence of discrimination was discovered upon investigation. I took part in a Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Advisory Committee meeting. After reviewing the budget and program updates, plans to set up a Stark County community development intermediary was discussed. The new intermediary will replace LISC, but have the ability to work with LISC and other organizations. I feel the new organization will better serve the local Community Development Corporations (CDCs) of Stark County. I participated in the Massillon Homes Development Team meeting. Discussed during the session were progress reports regarding construction, leasing and a landscaping project planned for June during National Neighborworks Week. The development is progressing well ahead of schedule. Nineteen homes have been completed, six are leased, four are approved for leasing and four are in the process of being leased. All residents are from Stark County with about 50% from Massillon. I participated in the Community Services of Stark County, Inc. Strategic Planning Steering committee. We discussed the progress made to date on implementing the plan and scheduling a formal review for later this year. As a member of the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) Evaluation Committee, I participated in site visits and ranking of the homeless grant applications. Our decision was forwarded to ICH for final approval before submission to HUD for funding. Kitty Yingling and I attended the CDBG public hearing regarding approval of the allocations for the next fiscal year. Several agencies and individuals commended on the planned allocation of funding. I participated in the Stark County Housing Task Force meeting. Discussed at the session were reports about housing topics from the Homeless collaborative, Interagency Council on Homelessness and HUD/Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority. The guest speaker was Will Dent, Executive Director of ABCD. He provided an explanation of the Low Income Tax Credit Program and developments in Stark County. Massillon Homes is considered a very good development by housing providers. I also participated in the Planning Committee. We worked on updating the Stark County Directory of Housing Services. I participated in a meeting of the Western Stark County Medical Clinic Board of Directors. The Director and various committees reported. Also discussed at the meeting was an update regarding the need for additional space. Several options were discussed. The Clinic continues to grow while serving low-income, uninsured residents in the community. Kitty Yingling attended the 2006 Fair Housing Awards Breakfast sponsored by the Stark County Association of Realtors to commemorate Fair Housing Month. It is the 38th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. There was a presentation of awards to an individual, lender, realtor and an organization for their efforts and support of Fair Housing. The guest speaker was very interesting and thought provoking during his presentation about housing discrimination. Our Department held a Landlord/Tenant Seminar. The guest speaker was Attorney Jaime-Lyn Poh of Community Legal Aid Services. Her presentation was well received by those present. She also discussed Fair Housing. We were very pleased with the attendance and participation. I was especially pleased to have tenants present. I attended the Ohio Conference of Community Development, Inc. (OCCD) spring quarterly meeting. Some of the interesting topics discussed were eminent Domain, the Fair Housing Act and Predatory Lending, initiatives at HUD and Predatory Lending Legislation and update. The session on Predatory Lending, including impending legislation, was especially interesting. With foreclosures being such a problem, it’s interesting to see how the two may be related. I attended an informational training session conducted by National City Bank regarding the special financial programs they offer. The session also provided an excellent explanation of FHA products. Many of the participants of the City’s Home Buyer’s Assistance Program are interested in FHA. I, along with a representative from Stark County Regional Planning Commission, met with Citizens’ Charter One Mortgage’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) official to learn about the changes which have occurred in their program and how it will affect our Home Buyer’s Assistance participants. Two applications were accepted for the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program. The rehabilitation portion for three projects was completed and one is progressing. Inspections were requested for one application that was accepted and approved to participate in the full Housing Rehabilitation Program. Two projects are progressing and one was completed. Two applications were accepted for the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program and three contracts were signed after bids were received. One project was completed, one is progressing and an inspection was requested for a new project. One wheelchair ramp is scheduled to be installed soon through the cooperation of the United Way of Greater Stark County. STREETS: Cold Mix: 81.00; Gravel: 408.00; Limestone: 7.48.

We also worked on the fire alarm system in City Hall. SEWER/WASTE: Our new customers numbered 35 and we had 27 customers whose service was discontinued. We picked up extra items for customers at 227 locations at an additional cost of $1,575.00. We had seven (7) dumpsters placed on a temporary basis. We are STILL waiting for delivery of our new packers. We had another truck break down this past week and it will not be fixed. The repair would be costly and it was one of the oldest trucks in our fleet. If we have another truck break down before the arrival of the new trucks, we will be forced to look at other options for trucks needed for waste collection.

My estimates, at this time, are that through April 2006, our revenue is about equal with 2005. I will have a better idea of the exact figures in the next few weeks. This office was extremely busy during the tax filing deadline, as usual. We also received a huge amount of mail at the deadline time, and again, this is typical for this time of year. The deposits have been made but the mountain of paper work remains. My staff will diligently be working to get all the tax returns posted as soon as possible. We should have accurate April figures of collections by next month.

GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue: The Legends is experiencing a good spring. Golf revenues for the month totaled $120,341.00, an increase of almost 8% from the same time last year. Year-to-date golf revenues now total $157,705.00. This figure reflects a 13% increase in annual revenues when factoring in a $40,000.00 loss of revenue insurance reimbursement from the hail storm that was paid the first quarter last year. Golf Course: The golf course continues to improve as our staff is doing an excellent job. Additional tree work has been completed. Bunkers have all bee edged and new distance markers have been installed down the center of the fairways indicating 100-150-200 yard distances to the green. Green complexes are now being cut one inch shorter than in the past that should make the golf course more playable and enjoyable. We are now concentrating on improving the greens in anticipation of our peak season. This time of year always presents a problem with poa grass that battles the bent grass on the greens. All golf courses are confronted with this challenge in the spring. The good news is that the problem subsides in the summer and fall. We are taking steps to minimize the situation and there has been improvement. The rerouting of the East course is now complete and we are in the process of installing new signage to direct play. The ground-under-repair areas near #8 & 9 East and driving range will be seeded by mid-May. Miscellaneous: The Legends hosted a successful Massillon Chamber of Commerce Let’s Do Lunch on April 28th that more than 80 people attended. That same day the course hosted the annual Arbor Day ceremonies administered by the Massillon Parks and Recreation Department and Mayor Cicchinelli. The Legends continues to offer the best pricing to be found anywhere in the area with the Massillon resident discount. Considering the nature of the golf course, The Legends is arguably the best golf value anywhere in northeast Ohio. EEO: Total call to the EEO office was 9. I responded to 2 that were legitimate tot eh scope of my duties. One Massillon resident had turned in a resume to the Safety Director in anticipation of a hiring announcement for the position of Deputy Auditor. I assisted in monitoring of the Civil Service Laborer I examinations that were held at the Massillon Recreation Center on April 11th and 18th. The test drew 58 candidates the first session and 16 candidates on the second session. We had not put together an efficient recruitment program at this time and the lack of diversity was reflected by the small number of minorities and women who took the test and passed. On April 29th, I assisted in the administration and monitoring of the Massillon Police Officer examination. It was conducted on a Saturday morning at WHS. The Chief of Police, Civil Service Director and I implemented a recruitment plan for this examination. The candidates that showed up on this test date were more diverse. The minority and women representation at this session met or exceeded the expected ratios in proportion to the minority and women work force population in our community. We will continue to strive toward providing a certified list of top quality applicants for consideration for employment in our City workforce of Massillon, an Equal Opportunity Employer.
