MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT
JUNE 2008

FIRE: The Department responded to a total of 340 alarms. This is an average of 11.3 alarms per day. There were 47 fire alarms, 25 public service calls and 268 rescue and EMS calls. The total estimated fire loss was $40,500.00. There were no firefighter or civilian injuries due to fires. 6/2/2008: I had lunch with Jackson Township Chief Heck to discuss issues of interoperability among our agencies. 6/3 and 6/17/2008: I attended Executive Board meetings of the Stark County Hazardous Materials team. The Hazardous Materials team is being overhauled at the County level. 6/4/2008: I attended the Stark State College Advisory Board meeting. 6/6/2008: The Department experienced a series of mechanical problems with Rescue 218, Rescue 219 and Rescue 220 (ambulances). We had to use the 1989 Vehicle Extrication Rescue truck as the west side ambulance for four days. Two of our first line Rescue ambulances are 11 years old. In the history of the Fire Department, we have replaced these trucks after no longer than 8 years. I anticipate this problem will worsen unless it is addressed. 6/9/2008: I met with the private ambulance companies to discuss their response during the Cruise-On- In and Dance show. 6/10/2008: I met with Chief Dorman of the Boardman Township Fire Department to discuss common issues. 6/11/2008: I met with the duty crew to go over operations at the Cruise-On-In and Dance show. I also met as part of the SCOG Governance Board to develop and implement a County-wide 911 dispatch center. 6/14/2008: The annual Cruise-On-In and Dance show was held. The Department covered the needs of the City well and responded to several EMS incidents at the show itself. I believe the safety plan we have in place is a good one. 6/19/2008: I met with Greg Souder of the Public Entity Risk Services as part of the annual City-wide risk management procedure. 6/23/2008: Randy Stuck retired as Fire Inspector after 27 years of service. Additionally, Jimmy Swain and Jim Coughlin were sworn in as probationary firefighter/paramedics. 6/24/2008: Civil Service Director Rick Gatien, Chief Volkert of Dover Fire Department and I met with representatives of Pradco Psychological Consultants to discuss psychological evaluations for new employees. 6/26/2008: The SCOG Governance Board By-Laws committee met. Annual hose testing was begun. It is regularly scheduled for May, but due to the accident and inclement weather it was put off until June. The Fire Department began its series of physical exams as a part of the fitness and wellness grant. The fitness equipment was delivered to all of the stations and was well received. I believe this is a positive step toward fitness for the Department and wellness for its members. We reviewed out policies and procedures for emergency response as compared with: applicable state law, literature on effective emergency response, policies and procedures from across the nation and policies and procedures from across the County. Two common underlying priorities I have found that will be benchmarks for any changes made to our SOPs’ include: 1. The safe arrival of the emergency vehicle at the emergency scene; 2. Driving to compensate for the unexpected and/or inappropriate actions of other drivers. The Administration is currently reviewing what, if any, charges are to be made.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 1. The CD Department began the process of closing out its FY 2007 CDBG Program in preparation for the start of its FY 2008 Program Year, which begins July 1. The City’s annual performance report on the FY 2007 CDBG Program must be submitted to HUD by September 30. The City is completing the required environmental review process for its FY 2008 CDBG funded projects. 2. The CD Department continued to work on the Shearer’s Foods Project. Shearer’s has filed an application for tax abatement under the Enterprise Zone Program for this development. This application is currently undergoing the notification process before it can be formally submitted for Council review and approval. 3. The CD Department also continued to participate in meetings with the Visconsi Company regarding the proposed sale and redevelopment of Genshaft Park. The developers have requested that the City rezone the project site from light industrial to general business. This rezoning is currently before City Council. In addition, the developers are considering the possibility of seeking Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to fund needed site improvements. Under a TIF, tax payments are returned to the local government and used to pay for those public improvements that directly benefit an economic development project. 4. The City will continue its participation in the Stark County HOME Consortium for an additional 3 years (2009-2011). Under the HOME Program, HUD allocated federal housing dollars to the Consortium to be used for housing improvement programs. Massillon uses its share of these dollars for housing rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance.

HOUSING: The Department received approximately 75 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. Aane Aaby and I participated in an event with the Health Foundation of Greater Massillon and Stark Community Foundation to present checks to neighborhood associations. Aane and I, along with representatives from the Health Foundation and Stark Community Foundation had previously met to allocate funding to the Associations. New Associations have been formed and completed the Neighborhood Training Classes. I am pleased that additional groups are forming and taking an interest in their neighborhoods. I participated in the Community Building Partnership (CBP) of Stark County Operating Committee session. During this quarterly meeting, we discussed the Director’s report, resource development, updated program results and the 2008 budget report. We also conducted a Community Development Corporation project tour in the Canton and Massillon area. In Massillon, we visited Massillon Homes II, which is at or very close to 100% occupancy. As a member of the Stark County Interagency Council on Homelessness (SCICH) Evaluation Committee, we completed the site visits and evaluations for the HUD funded Homeless Prevention Programs. Homeless prevention is an important issue in all communities. I participated in the Save Our Homes (SOH) Coalition Outreach Program held in Massillon regarding foreclosure prevention. Even though attendance was disappointing, our office received several phone calls from people seeking help. The group continues to get the word out to Stark County communities about available assistance. I participated in a Family Economic Success (FES) meeting. We re-evaluated the operations for the past year, discussed plans for the new tax season and financial activity of the organization. The 2008-2009 meeting dates of the coalition were also discussed. FES continues to be a valuable organization that assists low-income families with free tax preparation. They also provide other financial information which includes predatory lending. I attended the Walnut Hills Residents Association meeting. Upcoming activities for the organization were discussed which included plans for summer events. They will be holding a basketball camp this summer for children in different age categories. They will also continue hiring off-duty police officers to patrol the neighborhood. This will be the second year and they are very pleased with the patrolling program. I participated in the Stark County Housing Trust Fund (SCHTF) Board meeting. We reviewed information provided last month by Mary Brooks, from the National Housing Trust Fund. We continue to discuss possible funding sources. I participated in a consultation meeting at the Stark County Regional Planning Commission office in order to provide input into the Consolidated Plan. Discussed at the session were the City’s needs regarding community development and housing for the next 5 years and establishing strategies and goals for addressing those needs. The Consolidated Plan is a requirement of HUD in order to obtain Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funding. I participated in the Stark County Housing Task Force meeting. Discussed at the meeting were reports regarding the Homeless Collaborative, Interagency Council and HUD/SMHA. Also present were members of Canton’s Community and Economic Development Department. They talked about programs and plans being implemented in Canton. Three applicants were approved to participate in the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program and one contract was signed for the rehabilitation portion. Three applications were accepted for the Emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program, nine contracts were signed and two projects were completed. One project was completed for the full Housing Rehabilitation Program, two are progressing and one project was solicited for bids.

SEWER/WASTE COLLECTIONS: Our new customers numbered 17 and we had 21 customers whose service was discontinued. We picked up extra items for customers at 212 locations at an additional cost of $1,694.00. We had four (4) dumpsters placed on a temporary basis. Our expenses have really escalated this year. Repairs for our truck fleet and the cost of tires have really increased. Our fuel costs are another concern. I think it is inevitable that we will need to ask for a rate increase before year’s end. Most of the area waste haulers and other businesses have now included a fuel surcharge to their fees. That way, it looks like they are not raising their rates. The bottom line is that ALL businesses have been impacted by fuel costs.
