Communications:
Consider Drainage Concern of Rhonda Zipay
Trustee Laubacher stated that the Board received a letter from Rhonda Zipay of 321 Elmford St. SW in regard to a drainage concern. Trustee Laubacher inquired of Road Superintendent Masalko if he would please explain this to the Board.
Road Superintendent Masalko stated that the Road Department was going to be starting work across the street from Rhonda Zipay’s property. Ms. Zipay had notified the Road Department that there was a hole in the storm drainage pipe in front of her property that she wanted to have repaired and also requested that the off road parking be repaired from this hole. Mr. Masalko stated that he told Ms. Zipay, through email, that the Road Department would do the repairs but that she would be responsible for the cost of the materials to be used.
Mr. Masalko also stated that while the Road Department crew was there, they replaced the collapsed culvert on Ms. Zipay’s drive also. Road Superintendent Masalko stated that he did relay to Ms. Zipay, via email, that the Road Department was not in the off road parking business and yard type business. Mr. Masalko stated that Ms. Zipay wasn’t very happy with that comment because she didn’t feel that she should have to pay for the materials needed for the repairs.
Trustee Chessler inquired of Road Superintendent Masalko if the materials needed for the above stated repairs were the pipes and also inquired if this was the policy for this type of repair. Mr. Masalko stated that was correct.
Trustee Laubacher inquired if Ms. Zipay was also responsible for the pipe that was replaced under her driveway. Mr. Masalko stated that was correct.
Mr. Masalko explained that previously there was clay pipe at this location, old water tanks and pieced plastic. The previous owner of this property just rolled that pipe into the ditch. Road Superintendent Masalko stated that Ms. Zipay is claiming that she is getting water in her basement because of this, but upon inspection, there is no downspouts hooked to that pipe so it is not known where this water is coming from.
Trustee Chessler stated that he had replied to Ms. Zipay’s email and indicated that this evening would be the first opportunity to collectively discuss this matter before a Board decision was made. Trustee Chessler also indicated that he was of the opinion that we write Ms. Zipay a letter to explain that the Township policy is that we do charge for materials used even though the Road Department labor and any fill dirt is covered but not the top soil and seeding. Trustee Chessler stated that in conformity with the normal policy, would ask that we communicate to Ms. Zipay that the Township would charge her for the pipe materials used and enclose the invoice along with this letter. Road Superintendent Masalko indicated that the invoice he had prepared for Ms. Zipay was in the amount of $130.00. All Board members were in agreement.

Administration:
Consider Extension of Fasnacht Farm Tenant Farmer Lease
Administrator Fetzer stated that the Fasnacht Farm Tenant Farmer, Paul Bender, signed a contract five (5) years ago for our 2011-2016 contract. Administrator Fetzer also stated that Mr. Bender now has the opportunity to be the recipient of an EQUIP high tunnel grant from the National Conservation Resource Service. Mr. Bender is requesting at this time for the Board to please amend his contract to be all inclusive of 2014 through 2018. This would give Mr. Bender the opportunity to secure the grant funding. Administrator Fetzer stated that Mr. Bender is also in the audience this evening if there would be any detailed questions.
Trustee Laubacher inquired of Law Director Hall if there would be any problems to extend this lease. Mr. Hall stated that it was at the Board’s discretion to do so, and if so approved he would draw up a lease extension modification agreement to be signed by Mr. Bender.
Trustee Chessler inquired of Mr. Bender what a high tunnel grant was and what it involves. Mr. Bender stated that this grant is from the National Conservation Resource Service to procure two (2) high tunnels for vegetable production. Mr. Bender stated that this is the same grant he applied for a year ago but the funding ran out. Mr. Bender also stated that he did receive a letter of approval from the Board for this grant request last year. Mr. Bender added that he has re-submitted his grant request to the National Conservation Resource again this year and received a letter of approval pending a lease addendum.
Trustee Haines inquired if this grant would provide two (2) green house tunnels and what their size would be. Mr. Bender stated that was correct and indicated that each tunnel would be 22 x 48 ft. in size in the garden area to the left side of the driveway.
Trustee Chessler stated that normally if the Board would review and renew a longer type lease like this, they would look at all the provisions and see how, over the course of the lease, the terms were worked out for both parties. Rather than extending this tonight, Trustee Chessler stated that there was time to look over other provisions and see how things have worked out. Trustee Chessler also stated that If circumstances have changed, that things should be added or deleted, this would be beneficial for both parties.
Trustee Laubacher inquired of Mr. Bender when he would need the Lease Addendum returned. Mr. Bender replied that he would need this back by the end of this June.
Trustee Chessler stated he would suggest that as a Board, our Law Director be directed to negotiate on the Board’s behalf to come up with the terms that are satisfactory to the Board and Mr. Bender regarding extending the terms of the Lease for the requested period and reviewing any other provisions.
Trustee Laubacher stated that he agreed since this grant request must be completed within the next few weeks and inquired of Law Director Hall if he would be able to meet with Mr. Bender on this matter. Mr. Hall indicated that he would.
Trustee Chessler made a motion that the Law Director is authorized and empowered to discuss and negotiate with Mr. Bender the terms of the existing Lease and request an extension of a period certain to review and act on behalf of the Board for any other matters that is in both the Board’s and Mr. Bender’s interest; Seconded by Trustee Laubacher.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Laubacher, yes. Mr. Chessler, yes. Mr. Haines, yes.

June 6, 2014
Fire Chief Martin stated that the Perry Township Fire Department is requesting the Board of Trustees to accept the resignation of probationary part-time firefighter Michael Henkel with the resignation to be effective June 6, 2014, resignation letter attached before the Board.
Trustee Laubacher made a motion that the Board accept the resignation of probationary part-time firefighter Michael Henkel to be effective June 6, 2014; Seconded by Trustee Chessler.

Chief Martin stated that Mike has been with the department on two (2) different occasions and stated that it should be noted that during his time with the Department, Mike received two (2) letters of Commendation.
Trustee Haines made a motion that the Board accept the resignation of Michael Nelligan, part-time firefighter/paramedic, effective June 6, 2014; Seconded by Trustee Chessler.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Laubacher, yes. Mr. Chessler, yes. Mr. Haines, yes.
Consider Accepting the Resignation of Part Time Firefighter/Paramedic Jacob Goist
Fire Chief Martin stated that the Perry Township Fire Department is requesting the Board of Trustees to accept the resignation of part-time firefighter/paramedic Jake Goist from the Perry Township Fire Department, effective June 17, 2014, resignation letter attached before the Board.
Trustee Haines stated that he would like to have a discussion in regard to this matter. Trustee Haines stated that Jake has reached out to all three (3) of the Trustees since the letter of resignation was submitted and has asked that this letter be rescinded. Trustee Haines stated that he would ask the rest of the Board to look at this at this time to decide if they would accept this letter of resignation.
Trustee Chessler stated that in reference to Mr. Goist’s letter of resignation, Jacob had expressed in the letter that the reason he was unable to make the required service hours was that he was pursuing an educational career and that he was working one or two other jobs, attending rescue schooling and teaching. Trustee Chessler stated that this seems like a very different situation than one who has not made the hours due to sheer neglect. Trustee Chessler added that this is a person that has ambition and wants to get the education above and beyond the minimum requirements. Trustee Chessler also stated that he would agree with Trustee Haines that these are the kinds of people that we would want to encourage to stay with us. Trustee Chessler stated that he would not like any action to be taken on this letter of resignation at this time to see if Mr. Goist is still interested in rescinding this letter and continuing on.
Fire Chief Martin inquired if he could add something and stated that in Mr. Goist’s letter, he also indicated that he is working for another part-time department. Chief Martin stated that at some point, a decision has to be made to commit or not commit and he has not committed. Chief Martin stated that in the last fifty (50) weeks, Jake has attended no trainings for the Perry Township Fire Department and that is a safety issue. Chief Martin stated that employees have to attend training. Chief Martin stated that Jake had three (3) call backs in a fifty (50) week period of the average twenty-five (25) call backs a week. Chief Martin stated that there is a standard established in regard to part-time with specific rules and these rules must be followed.
Trustee Chessler stated that this is understood and stated that he appreciates that information from Chief Martin, but added that the difficulty he is facing is that this is not the first situation encountered with people in the fire service that are pursuing employment and professional development. Trustee Chessler stated that Mr. Goist did state in his letter that he has made some consolidations. Trustee Chessler added that since Mr. Goist has asked to step back on his letter of resignation, he thinks it would be worth the effort to continue this discussion regarding the standards that the Fire Chief and committee have established concerning the message sent in regard to the commitment to the organization.
Trustee Haines inquired if a 90 day evaluation could be done to see how Mr. Goist does on call backs and how the hours that he has scheduled himself for can be maintained at this point.
Fire Chief Martin stated that he will do whatever the Board tells him to do, but stated that he is not going to move from his position. Chief Martin stated that he is asking the Board to accept the resignation. Chief Martin also stated that in regard to Jake’s initial resignation letter, asked how do you walk back from that. Chief Martin stated that a committee has established rules and the reason why they established those rules was because individuals would not work for months at a time and the committee felt that it was unfair.
Trustee Haines stated that Mr. Goist was in the audience this evening and inquired of him if he was committed to the Perry Township Fire Department.
Mr. Goist stated yes, he lives here and this is his community.
Trustee Haines asked Mr. Goist if he would please rise and take his hat off.
Mr. Goist stated that he missed the hour requirement and is not debating that issue, but also added that he has consolidated and is down to one (1) fire department and does have the time to devote to the Perry Township Fire Department. Mr. Goist stated that he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree and has been in recue school since January 1, 2014 which takes a week and a half of every month that he is out of state or not in the area. Mr. Goist stated that he has been here for six (6) years and would like to continue working here.
Trustee Laubacher inquired about the call backs and asked if Mr. Goist was able to perform those. Mr. Goist stated that when he was home, yes. In the past, he was not in the area for a call back.
Trustee Chessler inquired of Mr. Goist that now that his schedule has been consolidated, the likelihood of him being home is greater than it has been in the past. Mr. Goist stated that was correct. Mr. Goist also stated that it still would not be all the time since he is often away in the Columbus area, but it would be more than what he has been able to do in the past.
Trustee Laubacher inquired if Mr. Goist would be able to get the number of hours in for the week. Mr. Goist stated yes.
Trustee Haines inquired if Mr. Goist would be able to attend training meetings. Mr. Goist stated yes, when he could, but sometimes his duty day would fall on the same day as the training meetings.
Trustee Haines made a motion that the Board table the decision of accepting the resignation of part-time firefighter/paramedic Jacob Goist based on his letter to the Trustees and his dedication to the Perry Township Fire Department and that he be evaluated again in ninety (90) days, on September 16, 2014, at which time the Board will review Jacob’s hours, meetings and call backs at that point; Seconded by Trustee Chessler.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Laubacher, abstain. Mr. Chessler, yes. Mr. Haines, yes.
Consider Purchase of Ambulance Cot from Stryker, Inc.
Fire Chief Martin stated that the Fire Department is requesting that the Board of Trustees authorize the purchase of an ambulance cot from Stryker Inc., 3800 E. Centre Ave., Portage, MI 49002 for a state price bid not to exceed $6,719.40, attachment before the Board.
Chief Martin stated that this is a standard ambulance cot that is rated at a 700 pound capacity. The Fire Department currently has five (5) ambulances in service. One ambulance is used for special details and to replace a front line ambulance undergoing maintenance. This ambulance requires a new cot. Chief Martin stated that the Fire Department is requesting the purchase of a standard ambulance cot for this vehicle in that the vehicle is a back-up ambulance and if placed into frontline service, the power cot from the ambulance going out of service can be placed in the ambulance.
Trustee Chessler stated that based on the information provided by Fire Chief Martin, makes a motion that the Board authorize the purchase of an ambulance cot from Stryker Inc., at a price not to exceed $6,719.40 as outlined in the quotation; Seconded by Trustee Laubacher.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Laubacher, yes. Mr. Chessler, yes. Mr. Haines, yes.

Road Department:
Consider Recommendations of Stark County Engineer 13th Street and Bordner Avenue
Road Superintendent Masalko referred to the opinion letter dated June 6, 2014 from Brian Cole, Traffic and Highway Engineer at the Stark County Engineer’s Office regarding 13th Street and Bordner Avenue, attachment before the Board. Mr. Masalko stated that Mr. Cole’s recommendation was that the Board could make 13th and Bordner a 4-way stop. The letter also referred to possible sight distance obstructions. Mr. Masalko indicated that he and Law Director Hall reviewed the possible sight obstructions and came to the conclusion that the foliage from a tree referred to in the letter was not much of a hindrance. Mr. Masalko stated that the Road Department is asking the Board what direction to take in this matter.
Trustee Haines indicated that per the letter from the Engineer’s Office, if the trees are continually kept trim, then the line of sight is within reason. Trustee Haines stated that if the Engineer’s office is making the recommendation that the Township is able to put the 4-way stop sign there, then he felt that it would make sense to do so.
Trustee Chessler indicated that his interpretation of the letter was that there is support for a multi way stop condition, that it can be justified, however if the Township chooses to install a 4-way stop, the guidance and support for the proper signage is in the Ohio Manual of Traffic Control Devices. Trustee Chessler stated that the letter also recommended removing sight restrictions for vehicles traveling east-west on 13th Street. Trustee Chessler stated that if this 4-way stop is felt justified, the Township should enforce our rights to trim back the vegetation on the right of way to maximize the sight distance. Trustee Chessler stated that additionally, if this 4-way stop is justified, he felt that we have a basis to place those stop signs there and felt that this referenced a hearing or notification to the area residents as well.
Law Director Hall stated that he and Superintendent Masalko did discuss the two sight obstructions, one being the chain link fence. Mr. Hall stated that upon Road Superintendent Masalko’s view of the county auditor’s sight map, the fence is on private property and not within the road right of way so we cannot move the above-mentioned fence. Regarding the tree mentioned, it is a minor sight obstruction but trimming this fence will not make a major change. Mr. Hall stated that based on this information, trimming the tree would not gain any benefit in terms of a line of sight improvement and based on the engineer’s report, it is clearly within the discretion of the Board to either post or not post this as a 4-way intersection. Law Director Hall stated that it is indicated that the Board does have the County Engineer’s support should this action be taken. Mr. Hall stated that if this is the decision of the Board, the process to give notification in this matter can be initiated.
Trustee Laubacher stated that he is not in favor of the 4-way stop because he feels that drivers will continue to run through 13th Street. Trustee Laubacher stated that he is in favor of installing stop bars to help designate where the driver needs to stop as was mentioned in the County Engineer’s letter.
Trustee Haines stated that in regard to the last accident that happened in that area it was because someone went through the stop sign. Trustee Haines added that by putting a 4-way stop sign in this area, you have four (4) people that need to stop as opposed to two (2). Trustee Haines gave a brief explanation of accident data in that area, and stated that though this was not a high traffic area, if an accident could be avoided in the future, he felt this 4-way stop would be beneficial.
Trustee Laubacher stated that he felt by instituting a 4-way stop in this area, there would be more requests for other 4-way stops.
Trustee Chessler stated that this is one of the rare instances where we do have an engineering opinion supporting the placement of those two additional signs.
Law Director Hall stated that if the Board decides to place the 4-way stop in this area, the proper notification to adjacent residents within that area would have to be made as well as having the signs posted. Upon a proposed resolution, Law Director Hall stated that he and Road Superintendent Masalko could proceed in this matter.
Trustee Chessler stated that additional stop signs cannot be erected as a means to control speed, but in this instance, the County Engineer’s office has found the rare justification for this, and stated that he would be in favor of this.
Law Director Hall stated that in terms of an engineering study, he felt that this was a thorough analysis from Mr. Cole. Mr. Hall also stated that in this case, the traffic volume does not justify a 4-way stop, nor does the crash volume, but in regard to the line of sight under Section 2B.07 of the Multi-Way Stop Applications, there is justification.
Trustee Chessler inquired of Law Director Hall that if there were a circumstance to present itself, what would the reverse process of the 4-way stop have to be. Mr. Hall stated that in regard to a Township road, it is solely within the Board’s discretion, however in the realm of caution, would suggest receiving the engineer’s recommendation or suggestion of removal of the stop signs. Mr. Hall stated that from a strictly legislative and legal point of view, the Board has the discretion to remove and regulate traffic within Township roads.
Trustee Chessler stated that based on the opinion letter that the Board has received from the Stark County Engineer’s Office as well as supporting documents and reasoning makes a motion that the Board approve the placement of two (2) additional stop signs and all appropriate traffic control devices at the appropriate location and in conformity with the Traffic Control Device Manual at Bordner and 13th Street SW; Seconded by Trustee Haines.
ROLL CALL: Mr. Laubacher, no. Mr. Chessler, yes. Mr. Haines, yes.
Law Director:
Consider Setting Hearing Date for Police Department Grievances
Law Director Hall stated that yesterday he received a group grievance from the three (3) separate police unions. Mr. Hall stated that he and Police Chief Pomesky had handled the Step 1 of the grievance. Mr. Hall indicated that under the contract, the said two (2) grievances have to be set for hearing within thirty (30) working days of the receipt of the grievances. Mr. Hall stated that this matter was not expected to be a long, drawn out presentation to the Board and suggested that this may take one half hour or less and asks that the Board schedule a grievance meeting between now and the Regular Meeting on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Law Director Hall stated that he previously had a discussion with Trustee Chessler and requested that this meeting be held at the July 15, 2014 meeting. Mr. Hall also asked that he be excused and not present for the July 1, 2014 Regular Meeting and stated that he and Chief Pomesky are going to try and meet with the union that has a new business representative, to replace Chuck Wilson, and are hopeful that this matter can be resolved before it comes to a full hearing.
Trustee Chessler made a motion that the Board acknowledge receipt of the grievances filed by the representatives of the police union and pursuant to our Collective Bargaining Agreement, we will schedule a hearing before the Board on Tuesday, July 15, 2014 at 6:00 pm; Seconded by Trustee Haines.

Public Speaks-Open Forum:
Tom Ross, 2845 Standish SW, Canton, OH 44706 – Mr. Ross stated that he is looking for some direction this evening and didn’t know if it would be from the Trustees or the Zoning Department. Mr. Ross stated that he was considering putting a shed or outbuilding on his property. On the cul de sac where he lives, according to the owner of the development, there were certain deed restrictions that stated something to the effect of “no building shall be placed on the property” as well as “has to be approved by the owner of the development”. Mr. Ross stated that meanwhile, there are sheds on many properties. Also, on Article 25 of the developer’s deed, it states that the lots that are owned by him (the developer) shall be mowed four (4) times every season. Mr. Ross stated that he has contacted Zoning Inspector Weckbacher on several occasions and had to ask for him to check into getting these properties mowed because they had only been mowed one (1) time all season. Mr. Ross asked if the owner of the development does not follow the zoning compliances why should the property owners have to follow his direction of can or cannot put something up on their own property.
Trustee Haines stated that Mr. Ross may need a lawyer. Law Director Hall stated that he agreed and also stated that there may be private remedies relative to deed restrictions and rules and regulations within the allotment. Mr. Hall stated that the Township Board of Trustees and the Township Zoning Inspector has no jurisdiction to enforce deed restrictions. In addition, Law Director Hall stated that deed restrictions, allotment restrictions and plat restrictions are solely a matter between you and your attorney. Mr. Hall added that in regard to the mowing issue, the Township has a property maintenance code.
Trustee Haines inquired of Zoning Inspector Weckbacher what the process is for posting on a vacant lot. Mr. Weckbacher stated that in a specific instance, he contacted a builder with a vacant lot since he had that information from the issued permit and the lot was mowed and maintained.
Trustee Haines stated that the property maintenance code can be enforced, but as far as the deed restrictions, they cannot.
Tim Blythe, 2956 Bridgeton St. NW, Massillon, OH 44646 – Mr. Blythe stated that his statement is specifically directed to Trustee Chessler. Mr. Blythe stated that it is quite obvious that Mr. Chessler does not care much for him and to that he does not much care, however, when he addresses Mr. Chessler and his response to Mr. Blythe in this very building at the doorway before this meeting is a swear word, Mr. Blythe stated that he thinks Mr. Chessler needs to remember that he is a Perry Township Trustee and he should be held –
Trustee Chessler stated that Mr. Blythe was talking on the phone and he did not hear what he said to him.
Mr. Blythe stated that he did hear what he said.
Trustee Chessler stated that that wasn’t it.
Mr. Blythe stated that he is a resident of Perry Township and feels that Trustee Chessler should conduct himself in a professional manner.
Trustee Chessler asked Trustee Laubacher to take control of the meeting.
Trustee Laubacher inquired if there were any other comments under Public Speaks.
Dana Vargo, 2910 Green Oak Circle NW, Massillon, OH 44646 – Ms. Vargo stated that she is here this evening representing the Perry History Club and that the History Club had just sponsored a strawberry social this past weekend. Ms. Vargo added that there was a great turnout at the strawberry social and that they had 147 people in attendance, one of them being a State Representative, Scott Oelslager. Ms. Vargo stated that this event was advertised all over Perry Township and was in the newspapers so she was just wondering why the Township Trustees did not attend.
Trustee Haines stated that he was working that day and Trustee Laubacher stated that he did have another commitment to attend. Trustee Chessler stated that in the summertime there are a lot more events going on that are outside such as the History Club’s event and sometimes it is possible to get to those events and sometimes it is not.
Ms. Vargo stated that while there was good attendance, she did miss seeing the Trustees there.
Cary Coates, 3011 Netherwood NW, Perry Township – Mr. Coates stated that he is a member of the Perry History Club. Mr. Coates stated that he attended a History Club meeting last night and there were approximately 25-30 people also in attendance. Mr. Coates stated that the consensus of the people at this meeting was that they were disgusted with the Township. Mr. Coates stated that he has a lot of letters that he would like to discuss with the Trustees, not publicly but in private. Mr. Coates stated that he feels there is just no support.
