Welcome to the winter/spring issue of City of Champions Today.

As I write this, we are experiencing a winter sea-

son of subzero temperatures, snow, and ice storms

that we haven’t seen in recent years. With that

being said we are already looking ahead to warmer

months and improvements springing up in our city.

With the passage of our road levy in 2017 we be-

gan a comprehensive repaving plan for our streets

that resulted in improvements to more than 20

miles of our city roadways with more to come this

year. This is great news for our motoring residents,

so take a moment to read our Safety Service Direc-

tor’s roads article in this issue.

Speaking of good news, our Imagine Downtown Massillon phase one is in

place and fully funded, with construction to begin in early 2019. Between Tommy

Henrich Boulevard and Third Street East, the project includes decorative lighting,

new traffic signals decorative walks, a landscaped median, and a mid-block pedes-

trian crossing between Erie Street and First Street East. As we eagerly await phase

one’s completion, phase two is already in the planning stage along with potential

funding opportunities.

Moving into 2018, our city finances conti ue to be strong with a cash carryover

of more than 4.3 million dollars from the end of 2017, allowing for further capital

improvements and investment. That investment includes the renovation of Fire Sta-

tion #3 on Wales Road that is tentatively scheduled to reopen late this year or early

next year, once the renovation is complete. With the goal of reopening, three new

fi efighte s were brought on at the beginning of this year. Reopening Fire Station

#3 will benefit our enti e city by giving our fi e department more resources and

fl xibility.

Our always-popular summer concert series is getting a facelift this year as we cele-

brate its 20th anniversary. We have added several Friday night concerts into the mix

and for all you “parrot heads,” we will host Parrots of the Caribbean, a hugely popular

Jimmy Buffet tribute band. Check out our entire lineup inside this magazine and

mark your calendars now!

You asked and we listened, this summer the Massillon Farmers’ Market will be

moving to the City of Massillon parking lot located at the corner of Tremont Avenue

SE and Second Street SE, across from the Massillon YMCA. Look for lots of new ven-

dors.

We are truly excited about all the good things on the horizon. Massillon is and

always will be the City of Champions.

Sincerely,

KATHY CATAZARO-PERRYMAYOR, CITY OF MASSILLON“CITY OF CHAMPIONS”

D’Metre House— D’Metre is a graduate of Wooster High School, where he graduated in 2009. He also attended Youngstown State University, the University of Akron, and received his OPOTA Police Academy training at the Wayne County Career Center.

The Massillon Police Department recently launched a new “cop

card” program. Most of the office s will be pictured in uniform on the front of the cards, while personal information, including hobbies, will be printed on the back. The Police Department believes the cards will be collected and traded like other sports cards, while bridging the gap between police and the public at a time when tensions are heightened. These cards can be an important positive contact with the public in Police Depart-

ment’s relationship with the community. According to Massillon Sgt. Brian Muntean, “Heroes can be wearing any uniform, not just baseball and football uniforms.” The department made similar cards in the 90s through the D.A.R.E. program and many kids clamored for them. More than $3,000 in commu-nity donations came into the Police Department to make the new cards. Each officer will eceive 1,000 cards. v

The City of Massillon is actively engaged in a new effort to transform the future of Stark County. The city is participating in the development of the fi st countywide plan to improve economic development outcomes in Stark. Developing a countywide plan is one of the recommendations of the Strengthening Stark report issued last year by Stark Community Foundation on behalf of the Stark Civic Group. Strengthening Stark examined economic, demographic, and other trends in the county and concluded that if current trends continue, the county will become markedly smaller, older, and poorer. The report also said that Stark County can transform itself through more collaborative, effective economic development efforts focused on job creation, job preparation, and job access.

Key findings of the report include: •Business The number of business-es in Stark County declined from 6,997 in 2011 to 6,807 in 2015. •Education By 2020, nearly two-thirds of all jobs are projected to require a post-secondary credential or higher in the U.S., but presently fewer than 30% of Stark County residents have at least an associate’s degree.

•Employment Employment in companies that are younger than fi e years old fell 28.5% between 2010 and 2015. •Job Access Nearly 40% of Stark County’s working residents leave the county to access their job. •Population Stark’s population fell to an estimated 375,165 in 2015, and by 2040, Stark County’s population is expected to drop to 355,500—a decline of 6% since 2000. Projections for the City of Massillon aren’t available, but the city’s population has been essentially unchanged for the last decade. •Transportation Stark County residents spend a higher percentage of their income, 28%, on transporta-tion, than do residents of Northeast Ohio’s two other most populous counties, Cuyahoga and Summit.

The report encourages economic development entities and communi-ties to work together on strategies that would help existing companies grow, strengthen key industry sec-tors—including manufacturing and food processing, and better prepare residents for in-demand jobs. At the recommendation of the Stark Civic Group, the planning effort is coordi-nated by the Stark Economic

Development Board (SEDB). The Stark Civic Group is an informal group made up of leaders from across the county, which includes Massillon Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry. David Maley, Economic Develop-ment Director for the City of Massil-lon, is working with peers throughout the county to coordinate a more aggressive program to call on existing businesses and identify resources and strategies that can help them grow. Implementation of the calling pro-gram will begin in early 2018. “Strengthening Stark is meant to inform and inspire meaningful dialogue about how our community must come together in order to transform Stark County into a larger, younger, and more prosperous community,” said Mark Samolczyk, president of Stark Community Foundation. “It’s our hope that this report will not only start the commu-nity conversation, but also inform area leaders’ decisions. It is exciting to see the City of Massillon and others begin to turn that conversation into action so quickly.” To read the full report of Strengthening Stark visit www.starkcf.org/strengtheningstark. v

The Massillon Recreation Center is part of the Massillon Parks and Recreation Department that was created on January 1, 1996, with the passage of a .3% income tax by the citizens of Massillon in 1995. The dollars generated from this tax are designated for park and recreation purposes. This facility is located at 505 Erie Street North, at the corner of Erie and Cherry, next to the Regal Massillon Stadium 12 theater. It is home to the Parks and Recreation Department’s administrative offices The Massillon Recreation Center has something for everyone. Four rooms (two community rooms and two multipurpose rooms) are often used for birthday parties, graduation parties, meetings, showers, and banquets. Each can accommodate 72 people. Two of the rooms have a divider that can be opened, allowing the room to hold 144 people. A catering kitchen connects to one of the Community Rooms. One room is solely used for child watch. The Center is proud of its indoor

aquatics center, which is home to two 30-foot water slides, a lazy river, a kiddie pool, a lap pool, and a splash-down pool. In addition, the facility houses two full-size basketball courts, a three-lane indoor walking track above the gym, and a newly renovated fitness cente . Membership rates vary depending on age and family size. The city of Massillon taxpayers receive a discount. Three-month and annual memberships are available. For more membership information, call 330-832-1621 or visit massillonparks.com. The friendly front desk staff is happy to help with membership questions and applications. To stop in for just a day or bring someone with you from out of town, purchase a one-day, fi e-day, or 10-day guest pass. Children up to age 12, enjoy swim lessons; tumble and cheer classes; birthday parties; and programs through a partnership with Jump Start Sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. The Center is a popular place for teenagers during the summer, breaks

from school, after school, and on the weekends. They like to utilize the gym; aquatics center; and sometimes the lobby—watching TV, eating, and catching up with their peers. The Center has sports programs for teens including Junior Olympic Youth Volleyball, volleyball leagues, basket-ball leagues, and softball programs. Seniors schedule the facility for their after-prom and all-night parties. Many adults use the facility before work, during lunch, in the evenings, and on weekends. Parents can leave children as young as one who walk steadily in the secure child watch room for an hour while they work out in the fitness cente , take a fitnessclass, swim, play basketball, or walk the indoor track. The Massillon Recreation Center is busy on weekday mornings! Our senior population arrives early to walk the track, use the fitness cente , swim a few laps, and take Silver Fitness classes. Prior to and between classes they often relax in the front lobby, socializing with each other just like the teenagers. So, not only do they use the facility to strengthen their bodies, but they also form new friendships—enhancing their mental health, increasing cognitive function-ing, and keeping them from becoming isolated and depressed. The Center is pleased to offer free tax assistance this winter to low-in-come families, seniors, and disabled individuals through a partnership with United Way. Bee Miller from the College of Wooster will teach a new class—Basic ASL (American Sign Language)—this winter. Throughout the year, special events will be advertised on center bulletin boards and in the printed activity guide.

In a continuous effort to maintain compliance

with the State of Ohio and sustain overall efficienc , the City of Massillon has increased its focus on records management. With the help of all department heads and their employ-ees, the records custodian submitted a record retention schedule for each department, also known as an RC-2, to the Ohio Historical Society and the State of Ohio Auditor’s Office or approval in August, 2017. These schedules list the types of records created by each department with a specific etention period. Once the retention period expires, the City is able to destroy the records that are listed on the approved RC-2.

When the forms were approved in September, 2017, the process of record destruction began. Since that time, the City has been able to destroy more than 850 boxes of records, filling s ven one-ton street depart-ment trucks. The documents were transported to FiberCorr of Massillon, which allowed the City to use its hydropulper machine to destroy the records at no cost to the City or the taxpayers. The space that has been cleared allows archived records to be better organized and easily accessed when needed. Thanks to the Street Depart-ment for its assistance in transporting the records and to FiberCorr for the use of its facility. v

Fire Station #3 on Wales Road to Re-OpenTOM BURGASSERFIRE CHIEF

Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry recently

announced the re-opening of Fire Station #3 on Wales Road NE late this year or early in 2019. She worked closely with city council who unani-mously supported her decision. Station #3 closed in 2012 due to fiscalrestraints and the condition of the building with mold and asbestos issues. Because of increased fi e department call volumes, it was important for the City to review current manpower and response times. Mayor Catazaro-Perry consulted extensively with Safety Service Director Smith and Fire Chief

Burgasser in her decision-making process with regards to the facility and the structure of the department. As part of that process, a preliminary renovation and expansion plan cost estimate for the fi e station was completed in July of 2017. Having done that and with the City having additional financial esources, the opportunity presented itself to move forward with the renovation and expansion of the mothballed facility. With the goal to re-open the station, the City budgeted for and recently added three fi efighte s while ordering two new fi e trucks that will be arriving later this year. The Fire

Department also received a new EMS vehicle late last year to support the project. According to Mayor Catazaro-Perry, “It came down to the safety of all our citizens and the City having the financial esources necessary to both renovate and operate the station. At this time, we feel we can do both in a timely and efficient manne . In the end, re-opening Fire Station #3 will benefit our enti e city by giving our Fire Department more resources and fl xibility, which in turn will give all our citizens more peace of mind.” v

As all our residents are aware, the city’s

infrastructure is old and in need of improvement. The City’s financialhardships over the last ten to 15 years has taken a toll on our ability to maintain infrastructure in the past, but 2017 started a new renaissance of improvements. Our residents’ passage of the .02% income tax increase effective January 1, 2017, helped the City greatly in its efforts to make these improvements. The year 2017 started out with a complete review and assessment of our roadway structure and all roads were given a Pavement Condition Rating and listed by priority based on condition and cost to repair. Our budget was determined and the City engineering staff—along with input from the Mayor, Safety Service Direc-tor, City Council members and our engineering contract fi m OHM Advisors—reviewed and finalized thelist. Pavement improvements were

completed by private contractors along with our own City Street Department. Full grind-off and pavement replacement is completed by contractors. Our City Street Department has the ability to do thin coat pavement improvements to smooth roadways in disrepair, but not yet on our list for full rehab. We were also able to partner with others to stretch our city dollars to their maximum benefit During the course of 2017, the City was able to partner with Aqua Ohio in our northeast section to pave additional streets where new water lines were being installed. This partnership resulted in a 50/50 cost split for the paving of several streets including 17th, 18th, 19th, Jefferson, Franklin, Wicliff, Lindburg, and Milton. We also received funding from Stark County to enable us to pave Lake Street from SR-21 to Amherst Street in a 50/50 cost share. Continued partnerships like these are vital to the

City and will continue in future years. Overall, our efforts led to the improvement along 20 miles of our city roadways. Please refer to the attached map for the complete review of roadway improvements in 2017. A comprehensive plan was also developed to address our aging and crumbling storm water catch basins. Our staff developed an inspection plan and rating system for the more than 4500 catch basins around the city. During the year 328 catch basins were repaired or fully rebuilt.Overall, the City, along with its public and private partners, spent more than $2 million improving our infrastruc-ture in 2017. In 2018 we continue to evaluate needs and spend our city resources in the most cost-effective manner. We will continue to work with our public and private partners to get the most improvement we are able to provide to our citizens and visitors to our city. v

Webster’s definition of“imagine” states “to form a picture or idea in your mind of (something that is not real or present)”. Over the past year, we have asked everyone to Imagine Downtown Massillon; to create a picture or idea of what our down-town could be. During that time, many comments have been made and a preliminary plan has been drafted. Those comments and plans outline a downtown where people live, work, and play. A downtown that is vibrant with retail shops, restaurants, and activities year-round. Moreover, a vibrant downtown is an economic driver for the community, making the city more attractive for business development and for people to live and raise their families. For the City of Massillon to create this type of down-town, an environment must be created for investment/grant opportunities. The City must use all the tools available in its toolbox to construct that environment. At this time, the City is just finishing est b-lishing a federally recognized historic district in our downtown. That recognition allows for building owners to apply for historic tax credits for the renovation of buildings, which is an important investment piece of the puzzle. Other tools include special financing dist icts (SID), a downtown redevelopment district (DRD), a community reinvest-ment area (CRA), and land banking. The initial “Imagine” draft plan includes numerous phases to be done based on funding and investment

opportunities. Phase 1 is in place and fully funded, with construction to start in early 2019. This project includes improvements to enhance pedestrian use within the area by reconstructing the Erie Street and First Street East intersections with Lincoln Way. The project contains decorative lighting from Tommy Henrich Boulevard to Third Street; new traffic signals and revised curbing at Erie Street and at First Street East; decorative walks, a landscaped

median, and a mid-block pedestrian crossing between Erie Street and First Street East. Construction funding for this $2.1 million project came from grants from the State of Ohio. It’s important to note that these funds could be used only for this type of project and that if the city didn’t move forward with this project, the funding would have been reallocated to another entity. In essence, the City would have lost $2.1 million. Moving forward, Phase 2 of the plan is being labeled “the Renaissance of Duncan Plaza” and will be the com-plete renovation of Duncan Plaza. In partnering with the phase 1, the revitalization of Duncan Plaza will

generate added interest in our downtown for investment and development. It will also allow the City to move summer concerts off busy Lincoln Way (State Route 172) and create a multi-purpose entertain-ment venue for a variety of events throughout the year. A venue of this kind will be a centerpiece for our downtown. This project is not only good for the City of Massillon and its residents; it’s good for Stark County. Entertainment is a growing communi-

ty provision and having a thriving downtown venue in Massillon will benefitbusinesses and residents throughout the entire region. The City has submitted an application for funding for this project in the State Capital Bill. As with most projects, obtaining adequate funding is the key to position the City for additional funding opportunities. We will

continue to work with our legislative delegation to find funding oppo tuni-ties to complete Phase 2 and look at Phase 3 (to be determined). The important thing to realize is that this will not happen overnight, it could take 10 years, 20 years, or longer. In the city of Kent, it took 30 years for downtown renovation. The City will and is moving forward with redevelopment in a prudent and cost-efficient manner doing what itcan with the resources available. However, we can take comfort in knowing that Phase 1 is a very good fi st step in our “Imagine Downtown Massillon” plan. v

¡Saludos, Señors y Señoras de la ciudad de Massillon!

In order to more efficient y serve Massillon’s citizens, the Health Department has begun several programs to assist our Spanish-speaking population. The entire staff is taking Spanish language lessons. Our instructor is Rosalind Wilson, a retired language teacher from the Massillon Schools. She comes to the Health Department once per month for lessons. We have also produced a 911 emergency information card, to be filled out in English for Span-ish-speaking citizens to keep at home, that provides emergency responders with vital information. This information is name, date of birth, current medications, drug allergies, medical history, etc. By being provided with this information in writing, 911 responders can be aware of health issues and avoid language communication problems. If anyone should need these medical information cards for their families or someone else, they can get them at the Massillon City Health Department, 111 Tremont Avenue S.W., and we will assist them to fillout the card or get them the lan-guage assistance that they need. This service is provided free of charge. ¡Tener un buen día ciudadanos de la ciudad de Massillon! v

The Summer Concert Series is celebrating 20 years in 2018. The marketing and events committee has added some new bands to the lineup this year. The committee is also introducing new and excit-ing events! Some of the events and concerts will be scheduled on Fridays instead of Thursdays. Here is a sneak peek of what is in store for 2018. Things will kick off on Friday, June 8, with the Kickin’ Country Cook-Off featuring Buck Naked Band with Cody J. Martin opening. The Parrots of the Caribbean— the #1 Jimmy Buffett tribute act in the country—will be sailing into town for a concert on Thurs-day, June 28. The city will be hosting “Sax in the City,” a down-town jazz festival including dinner on First Street, SE, Friday, July 13. Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry had the vision to form a collabo-ration group with local organiza-tions and businesses. We have now formed the “Massillon Marketing Collaborative” committee, to work together on events and area activities. The committee has created a commu-nity calendar so events do not confl ict and in some cases can complement each other. The vision of the group is working collectively and creating many fun and exciting new events for 2018, as we begin to unveil our Imagine Downtown Massillon project. For more information about these and other events, follow us on social media or check out the Community Calendar on the city’s website. v

Our city chaplain is furthering his infl uence in our community. On November 1, 2017, Pastor Berry Carter took a position with Hammer and Nails as director of community engagement. The mission of Hammer and Nails, a Christian nonprofi t outreach organization, is to partner with local churches and businesses to provide improvements for disadvantaged homeowners in Stark County. Its applicants must be recognized as disadvantaged in their ability to complete home repairs. The majority of disadvantaged applicants include the elderly, single parents, mentally/physically challenged individuals, and the fi nancially burdened. Hammer and Nails home repair and maintenance services include interior and exterior carpentry; interior and exterior painting; and if circumstances warrant, ADA-approved wheelchair ramps. The success of Hammer and Nails has only been possible through the generosity of individuals, churches, and businesses that contribute monetarily on a consistent basis. It also provides the perfect service project for schools, church groups, and corporate volunteer days. It is Pastor Berry’s desire to expand Hammer and Nails reach into the Massillon area to meet the needs of the disadvantaged in the City of Champions. If you are interested in getting involved check out the website at Hammerandnails.org to learn more about the Hammer and Nails mission and its numerous volunteer opportunities. v

Over the past two years, many travelers along US 30 as it passes through Massillon have noticed the construction and completion of a new offi ce building and shop with an eye-catching design. This is the new corporate headquarters of E-Tank and E-Pump. The companies moved into the new facility in February 2017. For E-Tank, this was the third relocation in its 20-year history. Its new building, now an iconic landmark visible on the south side of US 30 and just east of State Route 21, was designed by a Massillon-based architectural fi rm and built by a Massillon-based construc-tion company. E-Tank and E-Pump had outgrown facilities built in 2004 in the NeoCom II Industrial Park. Through a collaborative effort with the City of Massillon, the Massillon Development Foundation, Jobs Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Transportation, the company developed its new 15-acre site in the same industrial park. Founded in 1997 in Canton, the company began renting mobile storage tanks to construction companies engaged environmental remediation projects. E-Tank delivered the tanks to customer work sites for on-site storage of fl uids. For the most part, these early customers were cleaning up groundwater contamina-tion caused by leaking underground storage tanks. At the same time, E-Tank began renting tanks to industrial maintenance companies who were performing clean up and maintenance functions at diverse types of manufacturing and energy production facilities. From the outset, E-Tank became the fi rst and only company in the tank rental business to offer “Certifi ed Clean” tanks to its customers. This means that the company adheres to a strict protocol of cleaning and testing the tanks after usage to assure that customers’ worksites will not be affected by residues from prior

projects. In the rental industry, this practice was unprecedented and, to this day, is unmatched by its competi-tors. At the same time, the company established a stringent set of environ-mental practices for its own facilities and for the benefi t of its customers. Within the fi rst two years of its founding and in response to demand from a growing customer base, E-Tank began adding related equipment to its product line. Now the company is able to offer vacuum roll-off boxes, vapor tight sludge containers, and dewatering boxes. Once again, the company differentiated itself from its competitors by being the only rental company to feature “complete maintenance” on each of these rental items. This means that every piece of equipment is cycled through inspec-tion and refurbishment after every rental event. The market responded enthusiastically and, within fi ve years of its founding, E-Tank was the dominant rental company among its competitors in Ohio. By this time the company’s customer base had expanded to include not only industrial mainte-nance and environmental remediation contractors, but also emergency responders, pipeline contractors, energy producers, refi neries, metal and chemical manufacturers, transpor-tation companies, infrastructure contractors, and many more sectors of the industrial economy. In 2006, E-Tank opened a second branch in Indianapolis. The company expanded again in 2010 with a new operation in Buffalo, NY, serving western New York State. In 2015, the

company opened a branch in S. Roxana, IL, serving St. Louis and the surrounding market territories in Missouri and Illinois. In the same year, the company established an operation in Pittsburgh, on Neville Island, serving customers in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In each case, the branches are fully operational facilities. Unlike its competitors that store equipment in unmanned “drop yards” in various locations, E-Tank maintains trained personnel at each of these facilities to properly inspect, clean, and maintain the rental fl eet. In 2012, the company expanded its operational capability by creating a sister company, E-Pump. This new company serves industrial customers by offering a full range of engine-driv-en and electric pumps in sizes from 2” through 12”, as well as hose, pipe, fl ow meters, and valves. Soon the com-pany added a line of fi ltration equip-ment, ranging from bag and cartridge fi lters for removing particulate from fl uids to liquid phase fi ltration for removing organic materials from water. Now the combined companies can offer complete fi ltration systems for a wide array of environmental remediation requirements. Today, the combined companies employ 62 people at six branch locations spread across fi ve states. At the Massillon headquarters, the current headcount is 36. E-Tank and E-Pump principally serve customers in eight states, although the company has traveled farther afi eld to meet specifi c customer demands. Further expansion is planned. v
