October is Fire Prevention month and our Fire Prevention Bureau has been busy with school intervention and also public awareness. Routine inspections are becoming commonplace once again, a practice that was probably discontinued about 15 years ago. Additionally, efforts have been directed at solving a recent series of arson fires in our City. The Fire Prevention Bureau and our Suppression forces are doing an excellent job and I applaud them for their efforts. There have been several structural fires in the City caused by occupants attempting to use a “gas fireplace” for burning wood. Before burning wood in any fireplace for the first time, please have it inspected to ensure it is properly constructed and/or appropriately cleaned for safe usage.

In regards to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the City executed funding agreements with various sub-recipient non-profit agencies such as the Westark Medical Clinic, Family Living Center, Domestic Violence, Westark Family Services, Lighthouse Visions, Faith in Action, etc. In addition, construction work continued on two (2) CDBG funded infrastructure projects – the downtown sidewalk replacement on Lincoln Way East and City Hall Street, and the southeast side. The CD Director filed progress reports with the Federal government on the CDBG-R Recovery Act project funding. 2. The CD Department began work on the implementation of its Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The City is receiving over $1.5 million in Federal NSP dollars allocated by the state of Ohio. The NSP Program is designed to provide funding to local governments to deal with the problems of foreclosed and abandoned housing in areas of greatest need. The City conducted an NSP Workshop to explain the program to interested non-profit organizations, developers and contractors. The City is currently finalizing plans with ABCD for an NSP Project to rehabilitate two (2) existing homes on Pearl Avenue S.E. The City is also working with Habitat for Humanity, as well as several local developers on additional NSP housing projects. These will be submitted for Council review and approval as proposals are finalized. The City is also preparing to undertake the first NSP funded demolitions of vacant, deteriorated and/or fire damaged dwelling units. 3. The CD Director filed documents with the state Historic Preservation Office detailing the City’s procedures in undertaking Section 106 review of HUD funded projects. 4. The CD Director attended the Habitat for Humanity key ceremony for new homeowners. The CD Director also attended the Massillon Public Library PRISM awards ceremony. HOUSING: The Department received approximately 70 calls and visits regarding Fair Housing Laws and tenant/landlord issues. It was necessary to provide information to numerous tenants and landlords regarding their rights. Several people were referred to Community Legal Aid Services, Inc. for legal advice or other agencies for homeless prevention or financial assistance. This office continues to monitor questionable advertisements listed in the classified section of the local newspaper for possible discrimination. We currently have one (1) housing discrimination case pending with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission (OCRC) awaiting completion of their investigation. Since the case was filed, the apartment complex has been sold. In October, I met with the client to review her rental agreement with the new owner in an attempt to avoid problems in the future. Also, a new housing discrimination complaint was submitted to OCRC. I participated in the Stark County Housing Trust Fund (SCHTF) Board meeting. After reviewing the financial report and other business, we discussed suggested dedicated funding sources to pursue and priorities for allocating funds, if secured. I attended the Walnut Hills Residents Association meeting. Activities for the organization were discussed which included plans for holiday events, including a Halloween party, Thanksgiving dinner for the neighborhood and Christmas baskets for residents. Aane Aaby and I held an informational session for agencies and companies interested in participating in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).

After reviewing FES updates, the financial report and Board member updates, we discussed plans for the upcoming tax year. I participated in a Stark County Community Action Agency (SCCAA) Governing Board meeting. The various committees, departments and the Executive Director provided reports regarding the agency’s activities. Low income Stark County residents are provided valuable services through this agency. I also attended a Governing Board training regarding the history of Community Action agencies. The presentation was very interesting and informative. I participated in the Community Building Partnership (CBP) Strategic Planning Session. The session was informative. The organization is considering helping the local Community Development Corporation change their focus to primarily homeownership. I participated in the Western Stark County Free Clinic Board of Directors meeting. The President, various committees and staff provided reports regarding the Clinic’s activities. Due to these difficult economic times, demand for service has increased.

EEO: I monitored the various contractors for all compliance to the Prevailing wage and EEO requirements to insure compliance to the same. All of the projects that were being monitored were in full compliance of the prevailing wage aspect; however, many have had difficulties trying to comply with the minority and female participation goals. I believe this to be due to the limited participation of minority and females in the construction workforce at this time due to the economic factor of our economy. I attended the monthly Civil Service Commission. I am currently assisting the commission with arranging the upcoming selection of a Health Nurse for the Massillon Health Department. There were a large number of potential candidates that submitted their application and the top ten (10) candidates were selected at the Civil Service meeting of November 10th, 2009.
