COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 1. The City continued to implement activities under its FY 2006 CDBG Program. The target area street improvement project is underway. Streets being improved under this program are Oak Avenue S.E. and 1st Street N.E. In addition, the CD Department has been working with Massillon Main Street on a proposed large scale window replacement project for property at 47 Lincoln Way West. Main Street will be requesting additional CDBG funding from the City to assist the property owner in undertaking this much needed project, as the windows in this building are in very poor condition. 2. The City has begun the process of planning for next year’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Notices have been sent to local organizations and the new application form has been posted on the CD Dept. website. An application workshop will be held on December 14 to explain the new procedures. 3. The CD Department is in the process of revitalizing the City’s Historic Preservation Commission, which has been mostly inactive for several years. A portion of the downtown area was designated as a local historic district back in the early 1990’s and the Commission has the authority to review and approve proposed exterior changes to buildings within the downtown historic district. The Commission will be meeting in December to work with Massillon Main Street on the project described above. 4. The CD Director is working with the City Auditor and City Income Tax Office in calculating revenue sharing payments owed the local school districts over the City’s various tax incentive projects. 5. The CD Director participated in the Stark County Regional Planning Commission workshop for FY2007 Federal HOME funding. The City receives an annual allocation of HOME funding from the County for the housing rehabilitation and homebuyer down payment assistance programs operated by the Housing Department. 6. The CD Director attended the following meetings: the Massillon Public Library Board of Trustees, the City Historic Preservation Commission and the Ohio Conference of Community Development Executive Board Meeting.

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. A number of 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 regarding possible discrimination. I attended a conference regarding the implementation of Ohio’s new Anti Predatory Lending Law. Senate Bill 185 will assist consumers who have been affected by predatory lenders who apply excessive fees, high interest rates and balloon payments to their loans. The information I obtain from Predatory Lending seminars is distributed to all our clients. The session was very informative. I participated in 2 Community Services of Stark County, Inc. (CSSC) meetings. At the Strategic Plan Steering committee meeting, there was an update of the Strategic Plan for the agency that included the annual review and addendum plans and also Committee work for 2007. During the Board of Directors meeting, the CEO reported on fund raising, grants and other activities. I reported for the Long Range Planning Committee. Other committees also reported. The agency continues to provide valuable services to Massillon and all of the Stark County area. I participated in a Family Economic Success meeting. This was a brainstorming and planning session to discuss preparations for funding application. We also discussed goals and objectives of the coalition. The coalition continues to inform low-income families about the upcoming tax preparation season and other financial information. I participated in the Stark County Housing Task Force meeting. Discussed at the meeting were reports regarding housing issues from the Homeless Collaborative, Interagency Council on Homelessness and HUD/Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority. We had a very good roundtable discussion about implementation of Senate Bill 185 (Predatory Lending Law). The Directory of Housing Services of Stark County was briefly discussed. I participated in several Western Stark county Medical Clinic Board meetings. After the Director reported on activities and highlights for the month, other committees also reported. I chair the Nominating Committee and gave an update of new board members scheduled to join the Board. I participated in the Community Building Partnership (CBP) of Stark County meeting. At the Executive Committee meeting we reviewed the budget, program updates, grant review procedures and the calendar of events. Also discussed was a Technical Assistance Program which provides assistance to non-profit community development corporations. This organization continues to support the community development non-profits which are providing housing to low and moderate income residents of Stark County. Much support was provided to ABCD in bring homes to Massillon. I participated in an AHEAD Foundation Board meeting. After discussing general operations of the organization, we reviewed financial reports and budget. We also discussed after school programs and other support services many families received through this very worthy organization. Four applications were accepted to participate in the Home Buyer’s Assistance Program and funds were requested for the down payment for one project. One contract was signed for the rehabilitation portion and one project was completed. Six applications were accepted for the emergency Housing Rehabilitation Program, five projects were completed, four projects were bid and four contracts were signed. One pre-construction meeting was conducted for the full Housing rehabilitation Program, two write up review meetings were held before soliciting bids and a write up for one project was requested.

The nurses continue to make three visits per week to a TB patient for directly observed therapy.

GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue/Rounds: Golf revenue figures from the Auditors indicate total golf revenue to be $34,294.00 compared to $54,811.00 same time last year. These figures do not include revenues of $10,201.00 for the last 3 days of the month deposited 11/30 and 12/1/2006. Comparing actual revenue numbers for the calendar period tells us that revenues for 2005 were $42,661.00 while totals for 2006 were $37,750.00. It should be noted that revenues last year included $16,000.00 for two lifetime memberships. Greens and cart fees this month totaled $18,583.00, this being an increase of 38% over last year’s total of $13,471.00 due to mild weather. For the year golf revenues now total $903,260.00 compared to $896,048.00 for last year. We project that December revenues will beat last years and that year end figures will show an increase of roughly 1%. Most of the public golf courses in this area are reporting a decrease in revenues this year as a result of the terrible weather in May and October. Our plan this year was to price ourselves very aggressively to get players back to re-experience The Legends. Golf Course: The contracted tree work on the golf course for the most part has been completed although there is a considerable amount of cleanup work that needs to be done. The fairway aerification process is almost completed with just a few fairways remaining on the east course. The only work left will then be rough aerification. Comments: As the 2006 season draws to a close, we turn our attention to next season. The golf course showed marked improvement this year primarily the result of hiring a qualified, experienced superintendent and upgrading our maintenance and operations staff. The goal next year remains the same….to continue to improve course conditions and the total golf experience at The Legends. This will be a challenge as we plan to operate on a further reduced budget in 2007. At the same time it is paramount that we do everything possible to maximize revenues and operations at The Legends. For the first time in many years, we have a solid year of consistent improvement to build on. This is an important first step as we strive to make The Legends all that it can be.
