COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 1. The proposed FY2006 CDBG Program Budget was released and is currently available for local review and review. Due to Congressional funding reductions, the City’s FY2006 CDBG entitlement grant is 11% or $90,000.00 less than for 2005. These funding decreases 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. In my capacity as the current President of the Ohio conference of Community Development (OCCD), I was invited to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Housing and Community Development which held several hearings on the CDBG Program in Central Ohio. I testified in Cambridge. Attached is a copy of my testimony. In regards to the City’s CDBG Program, the HUD Columbus Office has recommended the City’s use of the Consolidated Plan Management Process to other communities. The CD Director has spoken with representatives from Cleveland and Marietta about our community development plan and its integration with HUD planning tools. 2. The CD Department filed the City’s Enterprise Zone Program Annual Performance Report with 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 the City Council. 3. 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. 4. The CD Director attended meetings of the OCCD Executive Board, the Stark County Intergovernmental Council on Homelessness, the COMPASS Neighborhood Development Committee and the Massillon Public Library Board of Trustees. HOUSING: The Department received approximately 70 calls 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. We received a contract proposal from Stark County Fair Housing for the purpose of Insurance Testing. It is a requirement of HUD to conduct periodic testing in the areas noted in the Impediments to Fair Housing Study. I participated in 2 Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) meetings. During the Executive Committee meeting we discussed establishing a new intermediary for Stark County. Due to changes at Northeast Ohio LISC, it may be beneficial to develop an intermediary which can work with LISC and other similar agencies, such as Neighbor-works and Ohio Capital Corporation. At the quarterly meeting, we voted to explore the possibility of establishing an intermediary which would be able to develop relationships with other agencies and continue having a relationship with LISC. We also received updates and reports from the agencies that receive LISC funding. I attended the Walnut Hills Residents Association meeting. The annual spring clean-up event and new grant proposals were discussed. They also discussed NRP Tax Credit Application for additional single-family housing. Esther Bryant made a presentation to the group and asked for volunteers. The Association and Lighthouse Vision are looking to work together. I participated in the Community Services of Stark County, Inc. Board of Directors meeting. At the meeting I reported on the Long Range Planning and Human Resource Committees. The Executive Director’s report detailed fundraising, grant proposals and activities of the agency. They continue to provide needed programs in the community. I participated in 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 HUD/Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority. Also discussed at the meeting was the county-wide TANF and FEMA Programs and how the funding is being used. Robert Sanderson was introduced as a new Board Member at the AHEAD Foundation Board meeting. At the meeting we also discussed grant proposals, the financial reports and other business. I participated in the Western Stark County Medical Clinic Board of Directors. The Director and various committees reported. Also discussed at the meeting was the need for a larger facility. Several options were discussed. Clinic visits continue to increase each month both for medical and dental. I gave a presentation to a group of mortgage loan originators from Unizan/Huntington’s about the City’s Homebuyer’s Assistance Program (HAP). The purpose of the presentations was to update them on the HAP so they will be able to refer eligible clientele. Two applications were accepted for the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program. Two contracts were signed for the rehabilitation portion, two are progressing and one project was completed. One contact was signed for the full Housing Rehabilitation Program after I conducted a pre-construction meeting. One project is progressing and two were completed. Letters were mailed out from the waiting list to people interested in participating in the program. Four applications were accepted for the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program and one contract was signed after bids were received. One project was completed, one is progressing and an inspection was requested for a new project. The installation of a wheelchair ramp through the cooperation of the United Way of Greater Stark County should be installed as soon as the weather improves.

In the future, Mr. Gatien and I shall review and update the policies and/or procedures of the Civil Service Commission as they affect and pertain to the office of Equal Employment Opportunity. GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue: Golf revenue totaled $31,134.00 increasing our year to date golf revenue to $37,363.00. Lat year we received an insurance settlement check of $40,056.00 deposited in March. This was our loss of revenue compensation as a result of the hail storm in May of 2004. Therefore our revenue figures were significantly affected. Deducting that one time insurance payment from last year’s revenues, our revenues this year compare very favorably: March: 2005 - $25,460.00; 2006 - $31,134.00; 22.3% increase. Year-To-Date: 2005 - $27,285.00; 2006 - $37,363.00; 36.9% increase. Golf Course: It has been exciting to see the impact that Aaron Webb and his staff have made on the golf course. Considering the time of year, it has been remarkable. Four major drainage projects have already been completed. The golf course, including bunkers and beds, look great. Virtually all of our members and patrons are very pleased and most of them have made a point to compliment our staff on the improvements. In addition, the woods area at the corner of our parking lot bordering Veterans Boulevard has been cleared. All the stumps on the hillside below our outing tent as well as the areas on both sides of the practice tee have been removed. These areas will be planted with fescue and wild flowers by the first week in May to completed the renovation of this strategic area.
