[2:39] At this time, council invites Uplift
[2:42] North Canton to the floor to speak on
[2:44] the organization's community service
[2:46] efforts. Go.
[2:49] Thank you.
[2:52] I appreciate the opportunity to to speak
[2:54] tonight.
[2:56] Catherine thought it might be wise to
[2:57] introduce you to what we've been working
[2:58] with for the last few months. And it is
[3:02] called Uplift North Canton. And I just
[3:04] want to read for you the mission
[3:05] statement that we have for the
[3:06] organization. Uplift North camp exists
[3:09] to bring people together through
[3:10] service, compassion, and volunteerism to
[3:13] beautify our city, support our
[3:15] neighbors, and strengthen our
[3:17] community's pride.
[3:19] 2026 is the inaugural year year for this
[3:22] event. Um, uh, Saturday, September 12th
[3:25] is is when this event is actually going
[3:27] to happen, which I'll explain here in
[3:28] just a moment, but we're hoping it's
[3:30] going to become an annual event that's
[3:31] going to take place every year in
[3:33] different areas of our city.
[3:36] So, Uplift North Canton is a community
[3:39] project that's aimed at improving our
[3:41] neighborhoods in bringing together our
[3:44] community in faith and in service to one
[3:46] another. Neighbors helping neighbors
[3:48] thing. Uh, this initiative is a
[3:51] collaboration between the North Canton
[3:53] Ministerial Ors,
[3:55] the city of North Canton, uh, the school
[3:58] system as well as a few of the other
[4:00] organizations in town. And uh it
[4:04] represents our commitment to make an
[4:05] impact upon the community to better the
[4:07] community and to bring us together and
[4:09] closer working in a more close
[4:12] relationship.
[4:14] What it is is we're focusing on a group
[4:16] of our neighbors to provide them with
[4:19] outdoor home repairs and improvements at
[4:22] no cost to the homeowner.
[4:24] And that's going to be things like
[4:26] weeding and mulching, cleaning out
[4:27] gutters, uh trimming bushes, uh yard
[4:31] cleanup, uh first story gutter cleaning,
[4:33] power washing their homes, that type of
[4:35] thing we're going to be doing. And
[4:36] throughout this project, we want to
[4:37] bring people together through service
[4:38] and compassion and volunteerism,
[4:41] supporting our neighbors, and in as a
[4:44] result also bringing along the community
[4:47] pride.
[4:49] And this organization started when the
[4:52] North Kent Ministerial Association
[4:53] observed the work of other organizations
[4:55] in other cities that were having an
[4:58] impact on improving their neighborhoods
[5:00] and their cities. And we're talking
[5:02] things like Impact Masselon and Impact
[5:04] Canton and First Serve Akan that we look
[5:06] to as examples of things that can be
[5:08] done here. And Impact Masson is one has
[5:10] existed the longest in in this uh this
[5:13] area. Um, Impact Masselon and First
[5:17] Serve Akran are both led by church
[5:19] groups. First, uh, if you look at impact
[5:22] mass, they're led by the Masslin
[5:23] Association of uh, churches and then the
[5:30] first serve Akran is led by the uh,
[5:33] first community church in Hudson.
[5:36] Now, impact Canton is a little bit
[5:38] different. there led by the community
[5:39] building partnership whose CEO is Kathy
[5:42] Katazar Perry who had been the longtime
[5:45] mayor of Masselon and probably seemingly
[5:47] took that idea over to Canton because
[5:49] they had their first event this summer
[5:51] already in improving some areas in
[5:53] Canton.
[5:55] But Uplift North Canton is kind of a
[5:57] hybrid between those two. It's actually
[5:59] uh been proposed originally by the North
[6:02] Canton Ministerial Association to the
[6:03] city of North Canton. We had a meeting
[6:05] with the mayor and with the city
[6:07] administrator and a few others in the
[6:09] city and we came up with an enthusiastic
[6:13] support from the city and decided to
[6:15] collaborate on this effort to bring
[6:17] everybody together in working towards
[6:18] the goal of of
[6:21] improving the city but also improving
[6:24] relationships of the neighbors within
[6:26] this city.
[6:27] So a steering committee was established
[6:30] and consisted of members of the
[6:31] ministerial association, some of the
[6:33] administration of the city of North
[6:35] Canton, some members of the North Canton
[6:37] city school system and worked to develop
[6:40] the details and structure of the project
[6:42] and some members of the steering
[6:43] committee you may already know.
[6:45] Katherine Lonar is on the steering
[6:46] committee. Michael Elkins is on a
[6:48] steering committee. Uh Kyra Baker from
[6:50] the mayor's office is on the steering
[6:52] committee as well as um the assistance
[6:56] athletics director uh at the high school
[6:58] and the care uh team family support
[7:01] specialist at the high school is also
[7:03] part of that steering committee as well
[7:05] as five members of the ministerial
[7:06] association uh making up that group.
[7:10] So to get us off the ground we thought
[7:13] why reinvent the wheel. So we went and
[7:15] enlisted the the help of the former
[7:18] longtime director of impact mass. He had
[7:20] done it for quite a few years and he
[7:22] also consulted for impact canc and he
[7:24] helped us develop some of the groundwork
[7:26] of the of the program that we need and
[7:27] of course we came in working on about
[7:29] half the length of time that they
[7:31] normally require. So we were kind of
[7:32] pushing our way through it.
[7:35] Now, neighborhoods are chosen in areas
[7:37] where residents we feel can benefit the
[7:39] most from the exterior home repairs and
[7:41] yard cleanup and volunteer work uh in
[7:44] the city. And Uplift North Canton met
[7:47] with the city uh or and city officials.
[7:50] They gave us some input. They gave us
[7:52] recommendations. Uh we solicited the
[7:55] residents of an area that they pointed
[7:57] us towards and uh sent them letters
[7:59] ahead of time. the mayor sent a letter
[8:01] of of support and then we moved door to
[8:03] door and talked to everybody on the
[8:04] street. Um the areas that were selected
[8:08] basically we felt would were appropriate
[8:11] because they might have a number of
[8:12] elderly or disabled people on the
[8:14] street. Uh they may have people on fixed
[8:17] income, single family or single parent
[8:20] households and thought they would be the
[8:22] best to benefit from what we could do
[8:23] for them as volunteers.
[8:26] So, uh, once that neighborhood is
[8:28] selected, every resident on the street
[8:30] is asked to participate. We aren't just
[8:33] picking one or two houses. We ask
[8:35] everybody on the street, would you like
[8:36] to participate? And we have received
[8:38] this year about 25% participation of
[8:41] actually a little over 25% participation
[8:43] of the homes, homeowners that we uh
[8:46] invited to participate. Now, we did
[8:48] exclude rental homes. Uh, we were only
[8:51] looking for folks who actually owned the
[8:52] homes they lived in. So, uh, this year
[8:55] we selected a neighborhood in Ward One.
[8:57] Remember McCleaster's, uh, home
[8:59] territory there, and we're going to be
[9:02] actually working on two different
[9:03] streets that are about two blocks apart.
[9:05] They're very close to each other. So, we
[9:07] solicited the interest of those
[9:08] residents and uh, have met with them to
[9:11] determine exactly what they need done in
[9:13] their home. And one of the people
[9:16] working with, we're going to be
[9:17] rebuilding a set of stairs up to their
[9:18] front door for a person who's blind. We
[9:21] had another person who came out and
[9:22] said, "I'm really not interested. I'd
[9:24] really do a lot more work outside, but
[9:26] I've got neuropathy in both legs and
[9:27] feet and I really can't get outside and
[9:28] do the work that I should be doing." And
[9:30] he finally said, "You know, I could use
[9:32] some help." And so, we're going to be
[9:33] working on his yard doing some bush
[9:35] trimming and some mulching and things
[9:36] like that. We've got some new folks just
[9:38] moved into the neighborhood. They're
[9:40] looking for some help getting getting
[9:41] kind of started what's going on there.
[9:43] So, there's a lot of different reasons
[9:45] and and different types of things we're
[9:47] doing in those areas.
[9:49] But I really want to make a point that
[9:51] this is strictly a volunteer
[9:52] organization. No one gets paid. Nobody
[9:55] there's no money that's going to be
[9:56] profiting from this. Everything that
[9:58] comes into donations for this is going
[10:01] back out in projects. And
[10:05] we are actually getting donations from
[10:08] different areas, different uh groups in
[10:10] the city right now. We have gotten some
[10:13] corporate sponsorship. We've gotten
[10:14] churches that have kicked in some money.
[10:16] We've got some individuals that have
[10:17] contributed to that also. But there's
[10:19] also some of the areas that are going to
[10:20] be contributing materials. They're going
[10:22] to be contributing services. They're
[10:24] going to be contributing uh employees
[10:26] possibly to help us do the work that we
[10:29] need to do in town. And it's really just
[10:32] boils back down to we're just a bunch of
[10:35] neighbors trying to help each other,
[10:36] help our neighbors in the community. And
[10:38] again, we really anticipate kind of an
[10:40] annual event uh affecting different
[10:43] areas of our community going to go
[10:44] around to each year and find a new area
[10:46] to work on.
[10:48] the whole city's going to benefit in the
[10:50] long run. So, we look forward to to
[10:52] really uh working together to make
[10:54] Uplift North Canton a success, starting
[10:57] small this year to make sure we can be
[10:58] successful before we spread it out after
[11:00] that. But we really want to make a
[11:02] lasting impact for everyone in the city.
[11:05] That's that in a nutshell. Christina has
[11:08] volunteered to help work. So, again, if
[11:10] you have any questions about anything,
[11:11] I'll be glad to answer them now or you
[11:13] can see me or Katherine or Michael. Uh
[11:15] we do meet weekly. has been been working
[11:18] quite a bit over the last few months to
[11:19] get this up and off the ground. So,
[11:22] >> thank you so much.
[11:24] >> Great. Thank you.
[11:25] >> Very much.
[11:26] >> I love it.
[11:27] >> Looking forward to help. So, it's nice
[11:30] to be able to help your viewers out.
[11:33] >> Where would we go to donate or sign up
[11:35] to help?
[11:36] >> Good question. Just going to answer.
[11:38] There is a Facebook page since this is
[11:40] called uplift Northampton on Facebook.
[11:42] and go there and it gives you a link
[11:44] takes you directly to to the
[11:45] registration forms for volunteers or to
[11:48] a donation portal where you can go
[11:50] through and donate towards that also.
[11:53] Maybe Robert caught that.
[11:56] [laughter]
[12:00] The main thing is we are looking at the
[12:02] churches for the most part provide a lot
[12:03] of the manpower that we need, but we
[12:06] can't always provide all of the
[12:07] materials. And so again, we are looking
[12:08] for the community businesses to help
[12:11] kick in on that side of it and things
[12:12] too. So it is going to be a really
[12:14] communitywide event. It's not just this
[12:16] little group or that little group. It's
[12:18] really, you know, people getting a lot
[12:19] of folks from different areas coming
[12:21] together to do the work. Do
[12:24] >> you have anything you want to add,
[12:25] Catherine?
[12:27] >> Just that this is the first year, so
[12:29] it's the inaugural year. We don't know
[12:30] what to expect. We know like uh Reverend
[12:33] Cop said, Massa's been doing it for a
[12:34] decade and they had the whole entire
[12:36] Massland football team comes out. Um
[12:38] they have huge sponsorship from like
[12:40] Bernards and Lowe's and Home Depot. We
[12:42] don't have all that yet, but we're
[12:43] hoping the first year will get it
[12:44] started and the momentum will catch on.
[12:47] Um and like you said, that's Glad's
[12:49] going to say direct people to the
[12:50] website. you can donate right through
[12:52] there. Um, and uh, you know, we've
[12:54] gotten, like you said, a few sponsors,
[12:56] few donations. Hopefully, we'll get
[12:57] more. I think the goal is if you do
[12:59] volunteer, you'll get a shirt. Probably
[13:00] going with the bright orange, right? So,
[13:02] we'll know who the workers are. You show
[13:04] [clears throat] them the back of your
[13:04] shirt. So, if you're looking for it, the
[13:07] leader shirts, you know,
[13:09] >> they wouldn't wear theirs tonight. I
[13:11] don't know why.
[13:12] >> I wore mine to the Main Street Festival.
[13:14] So,
[13:15] >> with the Main Street Festival,
[13:16] >> we'll see how it goes first year. And
[13:18] you know, some people have said, you
[13:20] know, um there will be people, oh, why
[13:22] not my area or my area? We'll get there.
[13:24] We just had to start somewhere. So, we
[13:25] picked a place to start and then we'll
[13:27] refine it as we go along. We really love
[13:30] that North Canton is this kind of
[13:31] community. We do care about each other.
[13:33] Neighbors do want to help neighbors and
[13:35] we love the name. We want to uplift the
[13:37] community, you know, and that's the
[13:39] mission. So,
[13:40] >> and we've got a lot of people talking to
[13:42] each other in the neighborhoods, too.
[13:43] >> Yeah.
[13:44] >> Like,
[13:45] they can use some help because we know
[13:47] beyond stuck at this house. So a lot of
[13:50] them helping direct each other to the
[13:51] ones who really need that.
[13:54] >> Donations are on Facebook or volunteers
[13:56] sign up on Facebook also.
[13:58] >> Yes. Excellent.
[14:00] >> And if you have a group that would like
[14:01] to volunteer, just give us a count and
[14:03] you can they can sign up that morning.
[14:05] Um fill out the waiverss and we can tr
[14:07] that. But we only need about 50 to 60
[14:10] people to actually pull this off this
[14:12] year. I think Masson did 26 homes this
[14:14] past year. Wow.
[14:16] did about 15.
[14:18] >> We're not at that level yet, but
[14:22] you have this in the back of your mind.
[14:29] » There we go.
[14:30] >> That's right.
[14:31] >> Thank you.
[14:33] Thank you.
[14:38] » Next on the agenda is recognition of the
[14:40] public. We do not have anyone that is
[14:42] signed up. So we will move on to old
[14:44] business.
[14:48] Mr. not read. Please read the title of
[14:50] ordinance 16206.
[14:53] >> An ordinance repealing chapter 1139
[14:55] industrial district regulations and
[14:57] amending various provisions of chapter
[14:58] 1137 business district regulations of
[15:01] the codified ordinances of the city of
[15:03] North Kane to update, modify, and
[15:05] clarify the regulations governing the
[15:06] city's business district.
[15:08] So this is the ordinance that in our
[15:11] last meeting we amended to remove the
[15:14] neighborhood business. The other
[15:16] provisions still stand. Is there
[15:18] anything that administration would like
[15:20] to add? Are there questions from
[15:22] councel?
[15:26] Seeing none hearing none, I will make a
[15:28] motion to adopt the second reading of
[15:29] ordinance 16 2026. I get a second.
[15:33] All in favor?
[15:35] >> I
[15:36] motion carries.
[15:39] Will you please read the title of
[15:40] resolution 322026?
[15:43] A resolution in support of accepting the
[15:45] 2026 parks, recreation, and open spaces
[15:48] master plan.
[15:49] >> Okay. This is parks and recreation
[15:52] council. Why? This is yours.
[15:55] >> All right. So, this is the third reading
[15:59] for the pros plan. There were some
[16:03] additional edits requested after the
[16:05] second reading and those edits were made
[16:08] and the edited version was sent to Liam,
[16:11] sent by Liam to all of us on August
[16:14] 18th. And so I think we are in a good
[16:18] place now and I will go ahead and make a
[16:22] motion to adopt the third read.
[16:25] >> Second. All in favor?
[16:27] >> I oppose. Motion carries.
[16:32] Mr. Ros, will you please read the title
[16:33] of ordinance 392026?
[16:36] >> An ordinance establishing chapter 149
[16:38] parks and recreation advisory board of
[16:40] the codified ordinances of the city of
[16:42] North can thereby establishing the parks
[16:44] and recreation advisory board for the
[16:46] city of North and also [clears throat]
[16:48] parks and recreation. Miss Lry.
[16:50] >> All right. So, we discussed this last
[16:53] week in both committee and council. This
[16:56] is kind of reestablishing a parks and
[17:00] recreation advisory board which we used
[17:02] to have several years ago. Um seems like
[17:05] everyone felt good and excited to um
[17:10] kind of solicit citizen feedback in this
[17:13] way and engage them in the process as we
[17:16] begin to implement um some of the items
[17:19] in the pros plan. Anything to add
[17:23] >> registration? No. Do do have a question.
[17:26] So
[17:26] >> we're going to take applications online.
[17:28] When is that going to go up?
[17:30] >> After this passes and this is a
[17:32] legitimate Yeah. Ford will put it on,
[17:34] right?
[17:34] >> After the 30 days.
[17:37] >> Passes and put it up right away. And
[17:40] then yeah, start vetting people's names.
[17:42] So be thinking of people. Council has
[17:44] two, mayor has three.
[17:47] >> I just had a quick question follow up on
[17:49] that. I had some citizens reach out to
[17:51] me asking more about it and I had a
[17:54] little difficulty explaining what they'd
[17:56] be doing. So could you elaborate just a
[17:57] little bit so we can educate people who
[18:01] might be interested better?
[18:02] >> Sure. So um five member advisory board
[18:05] there are additional eyes and ears uh
[18:07] within the city uh regarding parks and
[18:09] recreation needs. So they too will get a
[18:11] copy of the pros plan. I work with the
[18:14] administration very closely in terms of
[18:16] setting priorities for the plan. Um, you
[18:19] know, helping guide the administration
[18:21] um in the implementation of of a plan.
[18:24] So, it really is u it's an inclusive
[18:28] position if you will um advisory only
[18:31] you know um but again it's it's helping
[18:35] the city meet the needs of uh parks and
[18:38] recreation here in the city of Kansas.
[18:40] Would they be like helping out in cases
[18:42] where we're doing things like
[18:43] fundraising and whatever for projects?
[18:45] Should that be the nature of it?
[18:47] >> Well, the grand writing would come from
[18:49] the administration where you would see
[18:52] um advisory board members is in public
[18:55] facing like events like Main Street
[18:59] festival or winter festival. Anytime
[19:01] there's a public event or as the parks
[19:04] and recreation department continues to
[19:05] grow, there might be special special
[19:07] events. There might be, I don't know,
[19:09] maybe an art show comes to North Camp
[19:11] and so the park direct board members
[19:13] would participate um perhaps in the
[19:16] planning of that and of course have a
[19:18] presence um at in our type of
[19:21] >> kind of a liazison of sorts.
[19:23] >> Exactly. Lazison is a good word um
[19:26] between the administration and city
[19:27] council.
[19:28] >> Absolutely.
[19:29] >> Okay. Thank you.
[19:36] Is there a motion to adopt the second
[19:37] meeting of ordinance 392026?
[19:40] >> Motion.
[19:41] >> I get a second.
[19:42] >> Second.
[19:43] >> All in favor?
[19:44] >> I
[19:46] motion carries.
[19:48] Okay. Moving into new business. I need a
[19:51] motion and a second to suspend council
[19:53] rule 23 to allow for consideration of
[19:56] resolution 41 2026 without committee
[20:00] report.
[20:02] You have a motion to
[20:04] second.
[20:07] All
[20:08] >> in favor?
[20:10] >> Motion carries.
[20:12] Mr. Will you please read the title of
[20:14] resolution 412026?
[20:17] >> A resolution authorizing the mayor of
[20:19] the city of North Canton to provide the
[20:20] information and documentation necessary
[20:22] to apply for funding assistance through
[20:24] the Moskinum Wershed Conservancy
[20:26] District's connecting communities grant
[20:28] program and declaring a statement to be
[20:30] an emergency.
[20:32] like the idea that it is a grant and
[20:34] administration or parks like to
[20:36] elaborate a little bit on this.
[20:38] >> Sure. This is a grant uh from the
[20:39] Mosskum watershed conservation district.
[20:41] Funds I believe are generated through
[20:43] revenues of oil and gas. Um the
[20:46] application in in this particular um
[20:49] grant application is for Rotary Park. Um
[20:53] when you read through the master plan,
[20:54] you look at some of the recommendations
[20:55] for Rotary Park. Um there's
[20:57] recommendations for additional
[20:59] amenities. And so one of the things that
[21:01] we'd like to do is create a
[21:04] perimeter trail around the property
[21:06] boundary of Rotary Park and making a
[21:08] connection to Lois Avenue u providing
[21:12] access um to those residents into a
[21:16] public park walking path which would
[21:19] total around 3,000 linear feet. Um so
[21:24] one point I think 1.76 loops would be a
[21:27] mile. um but also connects really nicely
[21:30] to Apple Growth as well. Um so we are
[21:33] requesting $40,000 from the Mskeum um
[21:38] wershed conservancy for this particular
[21:41] project.
[21:42] This would be a 2027 project. The
[21:45] application is due September 1 with
[21:47] notification going out to recipients in
[21:49] November. Um so again, we'd probably
[21:52] implement this project in 2027.
[21:55] What would the total project cost us?
[21:58] >> So, the total project would cost us uh
[22:01] roughly $50,000. Uh so, $10,000 uh that
[22:05] we'd be on the hook for. There is a
[22:07] requirement for a 10% match of the
[22:10] $40,000. Um but I also like to budget a
[22:12] little bit of a contingency for things
[22:14] that just happen to occur during
[22:16] construction projects. Um those things
[22:19] happen. Um, not only are we looking at
[22:22] uh the trail around Rotary Park, but um
[22:26] the city also was notified earlier this
[22:28] year of a $50,000 grant award from the
[22:30] state of Ohio, which we were looking at
[22:32] expanding parking, which if you're going
[22:34] to invite people to the park, you need
[22:36] more parking. So, we will certainly um
[22:40] firm here shortly to develop that plan
[22:42] as well. So, Mr. or to answer your
[22:44] question, both projects, um the parking
[22:47] lot project, the trail project, roughly
[22:49] $100,000 of that, um the goal is to have
[22:53] 90,000 of that funded through grants.
[22:56] >> Thank you.
[22:57] >> You're welcome.
[23:01] » Any [clears throat] other questions?
[23:04] >> Okay, so tight timeline. You said
[23:05] September 1st.
[23:08] >> Yes, sir. And all we need is the
[23:11] approved resolution to apply for the
[23:13] grant and we'll submit it tomorrow.
[23:15] Everything else is ready to go.
[23:16] >> Okay.
[23:17] >> All right. So, can I get a motion to
[23:19] adopt the first reading of resolution
[23:21] 41206?
[23:25] » Second. All in favor?
[23:27] >> I
[23:29] motion carries. So, because of that
[23:31] timeline, I will make a motion to
[23:32] suspend the rules of council requiring
[23:34] three readings. May I get a second?
[23:36] >> Second.
[23:37] >> All in favor? I
[23:39] >> opposed. Motion carries. And can I get a
[23:42] motion to adopt resolution 412026 under
[23:45] suspension of the rules?
[23:47] >> I get a second.
[23:49] >> All in favor?
[23:51] >> Opposed?
[23:54] All right. Moving along. We are now
[23:56] recognition of the public for the second
[23:59] half. Those being topics under city
[24:01] authority.
[24:03] The drop. Can you please read the
[24:04] preamble?
[24:05] At this time, members of the public who
[24:07] have signed up to address city council
[24:09] will be called to do so. Each speaker
[24:10] will be given five minutes. Speakers
[24:12] shall be called in the order they signed

[24:20] the screens. After you finished
[24:21] speaking, please remain at the podium to

[24:24] the day.
[24:26] >> We have one individual signed up, Mr.
[24:28] Patterson. Podium is yours.
[24:30] >> Sure.
[24:35] Everybody
[24:37] at Patterson 1754 Street Falls
[24:42] going to be a hard act to follow
[24:46] and schedule a walk on the 12th of
[24:48] September at 8:00 in the morning across
[24:49] the street.
[24:51] Like I said, it's going to be a tough
[24:52] act to follow, but um we'll be there and
[24:57] see what we can do. But there will be a
[24:59] second one on the 27th
[25:02] uh which is a Sunday morning at 8:00.
[25:03] that when we'll be at Eastworks Park,
[25:06] we'll get together and at that time also
[25:09] yesterday was we met over at the ball
[25:11] fields over on the east side and had
[25:14] eight people. It was a great turnout. Uh
[25:17] Jeff invited uh
[25:19] the ball. Did I pronounce that right?
[25:21] Yeah.
[25:22] >> Uh they came out, had a good time
[25:26] and yeah, had a nice group, nice walk.
[25:29] uh could have done without the wind but
[25:32] u but it was 62 degrees
[25:36] um with that
[25:40] first
[25:41] >> there were nine including Henry though
[25:44] >> yes Henry was there
[25:46] our retired stenographer brought her dog
[25:51] so there were nine thank you
[25:55] >> thank you very much thank Let's
[25:59] move into department reports. Mayor
[26:01] Stroy, will you please lead us off?
[26:03] >> All right. Yeah. Uh, thank you all for
[26:06] coming. Let's see. So, City Hall is
[26:09] still under construction. Um,
[26:13] we uh swore in uh Oliver Kurd as a
[26:16] full-time uh firefighter and EMT just
[26:19] before this meeting at 3 at uh 6:30.
[26:23] And um school I want to talk about
[26:26] school. So all the schools are back in
[26:29] as of today. Um please look at the
[26:33] crosswalks. Pay attention. Learn the bus
[26:35] rules. I already saw somebody pass a bus
[26:39] which is very frustrating on the
[26:40] two-lane road. Um don't do that. So pay
[26:44] attention. Watch out for kids. Um
[26:49] I don't have a lot. Uh oh. Okay. Doug
[26:52] and Heritage Society out if I didn't uh
[26:55] follow up on this. So, three panels were
[26:59] installed today. One at city hall, uh
[27:02] one in front of the old porter school,
[27:03] and one in front of Doug's house. So,
[27:06] there's a new phase to the Heritage
[27:09] Trail. So, uh maybe at one of the
[27:11] community walks, we can we can do uh
[27:14] maybe not the whole thing because it
[27:15] goes pretty far out, but uh the bulk of
[27:17] it. And I'm sure Doug will be doing some local tours and talking points
[27:23] again. U so that is pretty much all I
[27:26] have and uh thanks for coming.
[27:32] Thank you.
[27:32] >> Um just a few things. Busy busy time
[27:34] today. Yes, back to school and uh like
[27:37] we talked with Chief Kemp, you know,
[27:38] it's first always like this first day,
[27:40] first week, traffic patterns and getting
[27:42] used to the new flow and all that. So
[27:44] we're working on that. Always working on
[27:46] that. Um couple trees down. Big one went
[27:48] down over on Alberta today. Another big one went down over at
[27:51] Dogwood. So these winds and that. So
[27:53] parks crews and street crews,
[27:55] everybody's been working hard on that.
[27:56] Um congratulations to our parttime
[27:58] firefighter we swore in Oliver Kurt.
[27:59] He's been with us part time, came on
[28:01] full-time. Great kid, young man. You
[28:03] guys met him. Just a couple other things
[28:05] coming out this uh weekend in your
[28:07] mailboxes will be the the next
[28:09] newsletter that we work hard on. And so
[28:11] it should be out either Friday or
[28:12] Saturday. So be looking for that next
[28:14] newsletter. Um, also we've been getting
[28:16] a lot of calls on Halloween. When is our trick-or- treat?
[28:20] Soon as we know, we'll post it. It's I
[28:22] don't want to say what's going to be. It
[28:23] was most likely going to be this year
[28:24] because it fell on Halloween. We go with
[28:25] what the county does. And why would they
[28:27] not do it on Saturday? I don't know
[28:28] though. I don't think they're going to
[28:29] say Sunday. But um we will let people
[28:32] know. We don't know yet. You'll know as
[28:34] soon as we do.
[28:35] >> Um that's all I have. Just thanks Steve
[28:37] for coming talking about Uplift. You've
[28:39] given so much of your time. There's been
[28:41] a whole group of people, but he's really
[28:42] been leading it all. and thank you for
[28:44] coming and presenting tonight. That's
[28:46] all.
[28:47] >> Uh just two brief construction updates.
[28:50] So, as Mayor Stroya said, yes, City Hall
[28:52] is still under construction. Um wanted
[28:55] to talk just a little bit about how
[28:57] that's going as well as the fire
[28:59] station. So, um we're excited that we're
[29:02] going to have improved and more
[29:04] functional spaces for our safety forces.
[29:07] Um police department renovations going
[29:10] well. Like all renovations, not going as
[29:13] fast as any of us would like. I think
[29:15] especially our officers, we appreciate
[29:17] them being willing to put up with the um
[29:22] invasion of their space, but I think the
[29:24] results will be well worth it. It it is
[29:26] going very well. A lot of uh important
[29:29] transformative changes already on that
[29:31] first floor of the building. Uh building
[29:34] a new conference room in the lobby right
[29:36] now. Uh that's one of the more visible
[29:38] improvements. But as Chief Kemp could
[29:40] attest, there's a lot of uh great stuff
[29:42] going on behind the walls of the police
[29:45] department as well. Uh similar story
[29:48] with the fire station. That's um I I'll
[29:51] knock on this wood. That's going very
[29:53] smoothly so far. Uh everything's on
[29:55] schedule. Uh foundations are in for the
[29:58] building. A lot of the subsurface work
[30:00] involving utility connections, electric,
[30:04] um waters, and so forth is going in. So,
[30:08] I know you've seen some changes
[30:09] [clears throat] on the site, but a lot
[30:10] of the work has been below the surface.
[30:13] I think in the next couple weeks, you'll
[30:15] start to see more visible changes. And
[30:17] the hope is to get um you know, a lot of
[30:20] the building fundamentally put together
[30:22] before the weather turns and so the
[30:25] contractors can start to focus on on the
[30:27] inside. We're still looking at July,
[30:30] late July, early August next year for a
[30:33] completion date. So, um that was what I
[30:35] had.
[30:36] Thank you very much.
[30:39] >> Just one comment. Um, regarding Dogwood
[30:42] Pool, we are working with a local
[30:44] company out of Cleveland to schedule a
[30:46] time to come in and and not only scan
[30:49] the floor and the walls of of the pool,
[30:50] but also do the pressure checks on all
[30:52] of the the plumbing within the pool
[30:54] itself. That will help us understand um
[30:58] where we might have some issues with the
[31:00] pool. Um, and if there's anything under
[31:02] the floor of that pool that that shows
[31:04] is the void, then the next step would
[31:06] likely be uh GPR, ground penetrating
[31:10] radar. So, one step at a time. The pool
[31:13] will be closing here in a few weeks. Um,
[31:16] so we'll get on top of that as soon as
[31:17] we can.
[31:19] >> Do you know how much we plan on
[31:21] budgeting for the pool next year?
[31:24] >> Catherine, do you recall what we put in
[31:25] the budget for next year? I think it was
[31:26] the same as this year that we have
[31:29] >> in maintenance. Maintenance. Yes. Yeah.
[31:31] We're just operations and maintenance.
[31:32] Nothing new.
[31:33] >> Nothing new. And that Okay. And then we plan on inspecting it after the Y
[31:39] >> exits out like we did last year.
[31:42] >> Yeah.
[31:42] >> Okay. Good. Thanks.
[31:45] >> Do you know what the relationship is Y
[31:48] for next year as far as the
[31:52] 50 40?
[31:54] >> That's what it is currently. We have a
[31:55] contract renewal that will be coming up
[31:58] and then we'll we'll set that.
[32:04] » Do we have any other people who would be
[32:07] able to come in and do what the Y has
[32:09] done?
[32:10] >> I mean, they're community partners.
[32:11] There are outside organizations that do
[32:13] pool management, but
[32:16] >> I mean, we could look at them. We don't
[32:17] know what they would charge us.
[32:20] >> Okay. Are we happy with that agreement
[32:23] with the Y?
[32:25] I mean, there's always feedback, but I
[32:28] think
[32:28] >> for the most part,
[32:29] >> right?
[32:31] >> Okay.
[32:31] >> There's there's not going to be a lot of
[32:33] interest in somebody that has a limited
[32:35] lifespan on something. So, it's
[32:38] >> we're kind of in a difficult spot, but
[32:42] >> thanks.
[32:43] >> Thank you very much.
[32:46] >> Director of Law.
[32:51] Okay, we started with budget meeting
[32:54] last minute
[33:14] with you guys.
[33:15] looking forward to it. This is online
[33:24] [clears throat]
[33:29] budget
[33:36] for transparency that
[33:40] information is invaluable. How many
[33:41] hours put into loading up that
[33:45] information?
[33:45] >> Yeah. So, it's uh
[33:48] after budget season
[33:54] few weeks into that um once I kind of
[33:57] set it, create it, set it, I don't have
[33:59] to do as much usually throughout the
[34:00] year, but November, December.
[34:05] >> Yeah.
[34:08] Like I said, the rest of the year,
[34:13] we appreciate the work.
[34:18] » And Jim, I've I've asked a few people
[34:21] and I've been told a couple different
[34:23] answers. Is there any way we could put
[34:27] some discretionary on these in each
[34:30] board?
[34:32] You know, we have capital operating. So
[34:35] like something comes up then we we know
[34:38] we have some
[34:39] >> so we don't so by law we don't we don't
[34:40] budget that we have fun so you know we
[34:44] have a general general fund we have
[34:47] funds we don't have anything
[34:50] per se um like you could put together
[34:54] like each year like one or two or four
[34:59] specific amount capital getting
[35:01] allocated but like we don't that's not
[35:03] how the budget is kind Can you and it's
[35:07] probably difficult because we've always
[35:10] you know we haven't set the tax on we do
[35:15] what's needed for the city department
[35:19] >> but could you give us some type of
[35:21] figure how much you gave you each ward
[35:24] in the past year
[35:26] >> talking capital.
[35:27] >> Yeah because we get asked that question.
[35:31] Yeah, but maybe do some thinking and see
[35:35] figure out what what went where I could
[35:38] probably get something together.
[35:40] >> Okay. Because you know we know what
[35:41] we're doing. Well, we did this. This is
[35:44] supposed to be done
[35:45] >> operations. I couldn't really know
[35:46] ambulance,
[35:47] >> right? You can't you can't do that
[35:50] >> terms of
[35:53] find something for
[35:55] >> Okay. Well, thank you so much,
[36:00] » Mr.
[36:01] No report tonight.
[36:02] >> Okay,
[36:05] >> let's start on this end and just work
[36:06] our way down.
[36:09] >> Okay. Um,
[36:11] yeah, I'd like to congratulate Oliver
[36:13] Kurt again. He's not here, but I
[36:15] remember when we swore him in part-time
[36:17] in March.
[36:19] >> Really nice young gentleman. Um, so I'm
[36:21] excited he went full-time with us. So,
[36:23] congrats to him. Um, I just, you know,
[36:26] it is back to school season. A lot of us
[36:28] here either have kids or grandkids in
[36:30] our school system. So, in one way or
[36:32] another, we're all going through it like
[36:34] everybody else in town. Um, and you
[36:37] know, I have twins at the high school. I
[36:39] went through the brand new carline
[36:41] pattern this morning. And I have faith
[36:43] that it will work its way out and get
[36:46] better. But I want to thank our our
[36:48] police department. They were there. Um,
[36:51] I saw at least three officers helping
[36:53] out. Um, I know our fire department has
[36:55] assisted with some drone picture taking
[36:58] that's going to maybe assist with
[36:59] observing some traffic patterns and so I
[37:02] think we have great safety services here
[37:03] assisting with all that. [clears throat]
[37:05] Um,
[37:07] so we'll look forward to that. Um,
[37:10] our city services have been really busy
[37:11] in W 2 where I live. Um, we've got the
[37:14] Weber and Ninth um, water project going
[37:17] on and I mean there's a lot of trucks
[37:18] over there so you see a lot of cones. I
[37:21] mean, where I live, I hit that project
[37:22] first and then I keep going west on
[37:24] Seventh and then I hit our brand new
[37:26] Seventh Street widening project. So,
[37:28] more cones. Um, I don't know who's out
[37:30] there resetting those cones on a daily
[37:32] basis, but that's like a part-time job
[37:34] in itself. Um, and so, you know, but
[37:37] that and then you add in the the middle
[37:39] school project and all the things that W
[37:41] 2, this kind of looks a little bit like
[37:43] a war zone right now, but it's all good
[37:44] things leading to better things. So, um,
[37:47] I pack my patients every time I leave
[37:49] the house and I think we'll get there.
[37:50] Um, so thank you for everyone working on
[37:52] those projects. Um, and like you said, a
[37:54] lot of tree damage, a lot of storm
[37:56] damage. We've had some crazy storms in
[37:57] the past week or so and I know that
[37:59] we're out really fast and really quick.
[38:01] I know you're very responsive,
[38:02] Catherine, when any of us see something
[38:04] and we text. I mean, it seems like it
[38:06] they're on it pretty fast. So, I wanted
[38:08] to thank those folks as well.
[38:10] >> Yeah. And then um the the question that
[38:12] came up about the pool contract. I you
[38:14] know Katherine also has solicited
[38:16] feedback from me. I'm a very vocal
[38:17] person as most know about Dogwood pool
[38:19] and access and all things and I really
[38:21] appreciate having a chance for input on
[38:23] something like that. And we had some
[38:24] really good conversations. So I'm
[38:26] hopeful that that will work out well and
[38:29] um we'll see even a better season yet
[38:30] next year. So that's my update.
[38:34] >> Mr. War.
[38:35] >> Well, I want to thank everyone to come
[38:36] out tonight. It's good to see some new
[38:39] faces and stuff out here. Um, thanks to
[38:43] the uplift uh people that was really a
[38:46] great thing. Um, the uh swearing in of
[38:50] the uh fire officer was a great thing.
[38:53] Uh, ward 4 has been kind of quiet in the
[38:56] last week. Um, I think uh Dominic had
[39:00] sent some things in over and I gave Liam
[39:03] a couple other roads uh to look at, but
[39:07] other than that don't really have a
[39:09] report tonight.
[39:13] » All right. Um, so I guess let's just
[39:15] start with there were three parks and
[39:17] recreation items on the agenda tonight
[39:20] and after I don't know years of not
[39:23] having a whole lot that feels really
[39:24] good. It's something we've been building
[39:26] toward and so having a parks
[39:28] administrator and a pros plan and
[39:30] forming an advisory board and hearing
[39:33] that we've got, you know, multiple
[39:34] grants that we're seeking, it's I don't
[39:37] know, it feels really good and I'm
[39:39] really proud of the work that we've all
[39:41] come together to do to kind of move
[39:44] parks and recreation forward and, you
[39:47] know, prioritize them a bit more here.
[39:49] And then Reverend Cop, as everyone else
[39:51] has said, thank you so much for the work
[39:54] that you're doing with Uplift. Um I'm
[39:56] really excited for the 12th and just to,
[39:59] you know, finally have a way to kind of
[40:02] address some of these things. So I know
[40:04] obviously we can't hit the entire
[40:06] community, but to be able to start
[40:08] somewhere, it's it's a pretty big deal.
[40:10] So thank you.
[40:13] >> Mr. All right. Got a couple things here.
[40:17] Uh I wanted to throw in there as well
[40:19] the conversation about the um about
[40:21] school being back in session. So drive
[40:23] safely, drive slowly and later points
[40:25] and see you guys talk about it as well.
[40:28] Um also wanted to remind about the ward
[40:30] one meeting. So for those of you who
[40:31] live in Ward One, it'll be September
[40:34] 15th at 6 p.m. over the Baldwin. We have
[40:36] talked about that in the past. And
[40:38] again, who this is for, this is for
[40:40] folks who live in Ward One. Uh it's not
[40:42] for the entire city and there's no
[40:44] agenda, no speech, no nothing. It's just
[40:47] simply a sharing of thoughts, concerns,
[40:49] ideas. Um just a way to come in and have
[40:52] a conversation outside of a council
[40:54] meeting. Um then lastly, I just want to
[40:57] touch on uplift. And so, uh again,
[41:00] Pastor Cop, you know, I really
[41:01] appreciate you coming in here. I
[41:02] appreciate the conversations we've had
[41:04] about it. I'm blessed that uh Katherine
[41:07] invited me to sign a letter, too. And we
[41:09] got some folks over in W1 who decided to
[41:12] sign up. So, I'm looking forward to the
[41:13] 12th. It is my wife's birthday, so I did
[41:16] tell her I'm going to be gone in the
[41:17] morning, but we'll be back for uh cake
[41:19] and dinner later. So, looking forward to
[41:21] it.
[41:23] Mr.
[41:26] >> Yeah,
[41:28] it touching
[41:32] on park. Mr.
[41:35] Do you think that we will have lighting
[41:37] in that parking lot? Always feel like
[41:39] it's kind of a dark over there
[41:44] >> something where you are.
[41:46] >> It's the first time he of a tire for
[41:48] lighting over there.
[41:50] >> I'm I'm just thinking as it changes.
[41:52] >> Yeah. Yeah. As it changes as we add
[41:54] amenities, something we can look at.
[41:57] >> I like the idea that we're looking to
[41:59] expand it because I feel like it's kind
[42:01] of isolated and I think that will open
[42:03] it up. So I think that's I think it's a
[42:05] good idea.
[42:09] Stop sign on Weber and we also had a
[42:12] tree blocking the entire road on Alberta
[42:15] this morning. Stop sign was everything
[42:18] falling down. Also like to thank
[42:21] Catherine for handling those many issues
[42:25] that popped up. Um and appreciate
[42:28] everything that went into getting this
[42:31] coordinated.
[42:35] some sidewalk concerns on Seventh
[42:37] Street. I know we got construction and
[42:40] I'm totally mindful of that. Not going
[42:42] to be difficult. I just think that it's
[42:44] important that um the people that are
[42:47] walking to mainly students whatot have a
[42:52] way to safely do that. Um as as well as
[42:56] anyone attending the football games.
[42:59] So, I guess I know that it's a school
[43:01] project, but I thought maybe between you
[43:05] guys, administration, and the school,
[43:07] maybe they could talk about moving back
[43:09] the construction fence that's on the
[43:11] other side of the sidewalk. I don't know
[43:14] how much material is there, dirt wise,
[43:17] what have you, but I think that it would
[43:20] be it would be a safer way to go if
[43:24] that's at all possible. Um I I know
[43:28] things are happening fast there. It may
[43:30] not, you know, be that long on the other
[43:33] side. I know they're working on both
[43:34] sides right now. So I'm mindful of that.
[43:37] But there's some concerns I've got is we
[43:39] do have a lot of cars. As Holly said, we
[43:42] do have a lot of uh new drivers. I think
[43:45] it would be important.
[43:48] I think you're working together. I hope
[43:50] we can figure something out with that.
[43:52] What
[43:53] >> I was just say, you know, I I would add
[43:55] in with that request as well. I I made
[43:57] that same request when that fence first
[43:59] went up. That was back when I was
[44:01] dropping my daughter off uh at school in
[44:03] the morning. You know, just seeing kids
[44:05] walking the street. I'm like, man, it's
[44:07] not a matter if it's a matter of get now
[44:11] closed. But I was told things have
[44:12] changed.
[44:14] So,
[44:16] >> well, now that we've passed both sides,
[44:18] >> yeah,
[44:19] >> might be more important. Um,
[44:23] also wanted to thank the street
[44:24] department for catching
[44:27] many potholes on lift. Um,
[44:31] and the civic center here obviously uh
[44:35] grass is back to growing like crazy and
[44:38] the civic center and the parks building
[44:41] on way. I thought they looked amazing.
[44:44] They edged them nice. Um, I just wanted
[44:46] to shout out whoever was [clears throat]
[44:48] behind that because those little things
[44:51] do add and I appreciate their their
[44:54] efforts. Uh, as far as the parks plan,
[44:57] um, I'm glad that we were able to move
[44:59] that along with
[45:02] discussion um, over the many meetings. I
[45:07] am thankful that the administration will
[45:10] uh
[45:12] take all of our input seriously and
[45:15] importance to each matter. Just wanted
[45:18] to say thanks to the group that made the
[45:24] Mr. All right. Thank you.
[45:26] [clears throat] Thanks to everybody
[45:30] for speaking as always. I'd also like to
[45:33] congratulate firefighter
[45:36] in joining an incredible uh safety team
[45:39] as he knows we know so long and healthy
[45:43] career here. Um want to also take a
[45:47] moment to public opinion
[45:50] recently seeking out uh the one-on-one
[45:53] discussion with me. I'm not going to say
[45:55] exactly what it was about, but it was an
[45:56] important and sensitive issue and it's
[45:59] that exact type of community based
[46:01] policing that you and Mr. advisor, the
[46:04] entire police department employee. So,
[46:06] thank you for taking that time. I really
[46:08] appreciated that. Um, I am also very pleased that after extremely
[46:14] significant discussion that spread out
[46:16] over multiple meetings that allowed for
[46:18] feedback from everyone that we are
[46:20] moving forward with the pros plan and
[46:22] I'm excited that Mr. Elkins will have an
[46:24] opportunity to execute. So, there's
[46:26] ideas that I'm sure he has. Um, also
[46:29] like to thank Mr. Elkins and Miss Karina
[46:31] for full updates. Um, [clears throat] I
[46:34] had some residents asking me quite
[46:36] specifically about the amount of water
[46:38] leakage that was happening and the cost
[46:41] that may be associated with that and so
[46:43] I appreciate the action that's now being
[46:46] taken to look very extensively at that.
[46:48] So, thank you. And then finally, u to
[46:52] Pastor Cove and I both Canton, thank
[46:54] you. Um, I think we all kind of know
[46:57] that government can provide a hand up,
[46:59] but sometimes it takes a communitydriven
[47:02] um, private sector organization such as
[47:04] yours to help unite citizens and
[47:06] neighborhoods. So, thank you very much
[47:08] for that work. Um, I was in the process
[47:11] of signing up on Facebook for the 12th.
[47:14] I'll get that figured out once we get
[47:15] done here, but I plan on seeing you and
[47:18] hopefully for a long time to come. Thank
[47:20] you.
[47:24] » Okay.
[47:26] construction going on hall, police
[47:29] department, fire station, library. Hear
[47:33] that there's even more construction
[47:34] going to go on even at the Y.
[47:37] Construction going on Main Street. And
[47:40] now we have Uplift.
[47:43] And
[47:45] what a great name.
[47:47] And it's not small at any means.
[47:50] neighbors helping neighbors and creating
[47:53] this kind of community is
[47:54] [clears throat]
[47:57] that's why we're here and I appreciate
[48:00] everything that you've done. I know that
[48:01] it has taken many years and it's just
[48:04] getting off the ground but that's the
[48:06] biggest lift. Once the momentum starts I
[48:08] see this growing tremendously in our
[48:10] community like it has others surrounding
[48:12] here. So thank you for that. That is
[48:16] what I have next final call for new
[48:18] business.
[48:20] Seeing none, we move into executive
[48:22] session. We'll make a motion to enter
[48:24] into an executive session for the
[48:26] purpose of discussing the purchase or
[48:28] sale of property as permitted by OC21.22
