incredible attendance, probably 150 people, if not more, showed up for the historical walk where they feature the life stories of five different people that are buried at Spring Grove. And then right after that, it rolled into the mausoleum open house that has been recently restored, a project by the Friends of the Cemetery. It's absolutely beautiful in there. If you have a chance, you can stop over there and look at the floor and the ceilings. They did an amazing job. It's in really great shape right now. Moving to this past weekend, this was one of the busiest weekends ever in Medina here. We had the band concert that kicked off its 167th year of the band performing in the Uptown Park. And Marcus Nyman, who has been conducting it since 1972, was there for another year as well. Just a reminder that every Friday night during June and July, we'll have a band concert on the square at 8 a.m. I'm sorry, 8 p.m. And with the exception of July 3rd, Friday, July 3rd, that concert gets moved till July 4th. the other big events of the weekend on saturday we had kids day and teen fest huge crowds there and it went really well until the rain came about 11 30 and that put a little damper on things but the crowd was just amazing and number of people and how many people from were here from out of town because the other big event we had of the weekend another one of the many big events was medina soccer hosted their medina invitational soccer tournament so we had games going in the city of medina and montville The county parks, anywhere you can think of in the greater Medina area, there was a soccer game going on. And so many of the people up on the square on Saturday during Kids Day were wearing their shirts from all over Northeast Ohio, the different soccer teams. So I think Medina Soccer did a nice job of pushing people uptown and supporting our businesses. Also on Saturday night we had jazz under the stars and that was well attended as well on Saturday night. And then the whole weekend we also had the big Ohio book con. And I just want to talk a little bit about that. This year it expanded to three buildings. It was at Williams on the Lake, the Fairgrounds Community Center and then Black Cat Books. They had a shuttle going to all three places. There was specials where the shuttle also brought them uptown to different businesses that had deals going on for all the people that attended the Big Ohio Book Con. Found out that Summit County is trying to steal away the Big Ohio Book Con because it continues to grow. So we are working with Menina County Visitors Bureau to find a bigger location for them for next year because it's just amazing how many people participate. in Black Cat Books, different events. And this one is one of their biggest ones, this Big Ohio Book Con. But it ran Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the shuttle for all three locations, and again, continues to grow. The other thing of the weekend, I just wanted to give a shout out to the Medina High School Boys and Girls Track Teams for strong showings at the state meet this past weekend. Owen Stepsis and Pole Vault, I did that for you, Mr. Coyne, because I know you appreciate pole vaulters at the state track meet. Owen, and then Joey D'Aurelia, Carson Henning, and Nate Fisher. Nate Fisher, they were part of the 4x400 team that finished in fourth place. They were also part of the 4x800 team, and Nate Fisher is one of our employees here at the rec center too, just a great young man. So very proud of our high school athletes, and the girls' team did well also. And then I just want to start focusing on This coming Friday night will be the second band concert and there will be an ice cream social hosted by the Madonna County Historical Society in the bandstand, the former bandstand next to the gazebo. And then we will on Saturday roll into our fifth annual Juneteenth celebration and it's going to be bigger and better than ever. We'll have a Danita Harris from Channel 3 as the keynote speaker. Kenny Crumpton from Fox 8 will be the MC. We have a Motown band from Detroit called Shades of Blue that is just amazing. You can get a chance to check them out on a YouTube video if you want to see a little preview of what their performance will be like. We have spoken word. just from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. And we just found out this week, if any of you like to come up on Thursday morning, Kenny Crumpton is now going to be broadcasting live, Fox 8, kicking it with Kenny, and doing a preview of the fifth annual celebration here. But he'll be up there from about 6 in the morning until about 9 a.m. And I see Pastor Wilson here. He's going to be up there joining us bright and early. So but we are just really fortunate. We're going to get a lot of great publicity as well as the farmers market will be going on again too. So just another busy weekend. There is always so many great things going on in the square. You know, as we talked about, some of the challenges and it's a good thing to have so many people up there, but I know we're also trying to figure out ways to make everybody safe that's up there too. But come and take advantage of everything we've got going on in Medina. It's a great place to be on the weekends.

Hello. My name is Tim McKeel. My address is one one seven three forecastle trail. We could park development. I'm coming before you actually about safety concern. Our development. We actually have fire hydrants down there that have not been flushed out for over five years at this point. We reached out to the water department. Water department said that because you guys couldn't plow down there, that they would not be able to come down and service the fire hydrants, but yet we still get city services like trash, things like that down there. We just want to have a reconsideration that the city comes and flushes our fire hydrants. We have about six of them down there.

We're sorry where was this location again Beacon Park development the the townhouses behind Acme there No, so this is the first time hearing about this well water superintendent's offer I'll talk to the foreman tomorrow and find out we have flushed private hydrants before on private property But we have to get a release in case something Breaks sometimes a main line will break had a negative impact, but I'm surprised that we've not flushed that. And have you asked before? And who did you talk to? I called Board of the City to produce the data for flushing math, and I asked the same question, and I got the same reply.

And forgive me, but I understand the release.

However, if they were to put it under code, they put it in the new code, what's the worries out there?

so typically on a private hydrant private system the party that owns that area is responsible so like like behind kmart and certain areas like that we would flush for them when you turn a hydrant on or off sometimes you get a hammer effect whether you do it slow we try to do it really slow that's why our guys do it but it's possible regardless if they're put in code or put in right that a break could happen as a result of that flushing just a matter of fact I know the fire chief's not here, but I'm sure he'd hook up to another hydrant that's close by. I mean, that's... Let me look at that. I'll talk to the supervisor in the morning and find out what's going on. But is that a private land pad? I mean, I guess...

it is on forecastle and that and we would not be plowing that you mentioned right yeah we don't we know it's not dedicated there there are hydrants on mass parkway which are close enough too that would probably be the next those are the public hydrants but yeah we just for safety you know we got 66 homes down there so it'd be nice to know that the fire hydrants are flushed and ready to go case so all right well thanks for your information thank you you know look at it and see yeah i'd like to get your contact number and name before you leave please thank you

Okay, thanks. Anybody else that wishes to address council at this time?

Okay.

Second. Discussion? Mr. Durham. Thank you, Mr. President. This was agreed to during the union negotiations, but it's taken a while to hammer out this exact language, which we had to hire some labor attorneys to figure out, and they handled that. It's always good to have lawyers, right? We want to make sure we keep you guys employed sometimes.

Any further discussion? Will the clerk please call the roll on adoption of the ordinance?

Move to approve.

Second. Discussion? Mr. Dutton?

Thank you, Mr. President. On March 9th, City Council authorized the sale of the city-owned property at 410 East Smith Road through a competitive bidding process. On May 13th, we received one bid for the property from Bradley Hoisington of Sweets and Geeks for $355,000.01.

Mr. President.

Ms. Hare.

Move to approve.

Second. Discussion? Mr. Patton. Thank you, Mr. President. A few weeks ago, the city's railroad committee met to discuss the rates that we charge for our railroad. The committee agreed to basically three different rate increases. The first two were to address our railroad fund, which was deplenished in 2025 by a rash of breaks. So the committee agreed to increase the annual access fee for each of the four partners, including the city. Also agreed to increase the per car fee by the three users. And the third action item had to do with the grant that we received. We were awarded a $920,000 grant through the ORDC to address many of the problems where we face breaks. We do have a 20% local match, which is 230,000 or 57,500 per member. They agreed unanimously to cover that each of the members would pay the 57,500 over two years so that we could take advantage of the grant.

Thank you. Any further discussion? Clerk, please call the roll.

Second. Discussion? Again.

There's the emergency clause that's been requested, so I move to add it at this time.

My second includes the emergency clause.

Discussion on the ordinance and the emergency clause. Mr. Piccoli.

Thank you, Mr. President. The mayor presented this at the last finance meeting two weeks ago in my absence. This is an opportunity, as I explained in our health safety sanitation update, there's an opportunity to buy a used vehicle. It's a container delivery vehicle, which normally would be $150,000, $160,000. The purchase price on this one used is 2024 is $98,500. It's on a dealership in Cleveland, not part of the state bid. Mr. Huber looked at the purchase agreement and is okay with it as well. Emergency clause being requested because we need to secure a PO before it gets sold to someone else because they can't hold it without a commitment. Thank you. Thank you.

Any further discussion? Clerk, please call the roll on the adoption of the emergency clause.

Mr. President, move to approve.

Second.

Discussion? Chief Kenney. Thank you, Mr. President. This is an upgrade to our current end-of-life tasers. This is a 10-year, essentially a lease agreement. They've kind of changed the way they've been doing business here the past few years. We should see significant savings.

Second. Discussion. Mr. Dutton.

Thank you, Mr. President. This ordinance, which goes along with ordinance 9926, revises the current planning and zoning code fee schedule.

Mr. President, move to approve. Second.

Discussion? Mr. Dutton, you mentioned this. Yes, thank you, Mr. President. This ordinance includes several amendments to our contractor registration regulations and building permit fees. Some notable changes include the removal of certificates of qualification, which are no longer applicable. A base permit fee increase of $15 for residential and $20 for commercial, an increase of $0.03 per square foot for calculable fees, and incorporating a required 1% state fee for residential permits. Changes are generally comparable to other communities, cover new hardware and software costs, better align fees with actual expenses, and remove unnecessary fees. I'll note the majority of the building permit fees have not been revised since 2005.

Thank you. Mr. Gladys, anything to add since you're the building? YOUR MICROPHONE.

YEAH, THE MAIN PART OF THE FEE INCREASE, TOO, IS TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR EXISTING SOFTWARE ANNUAL PRICE AND THE NEW PRICE. AND IT'S GOING TO SAVE EVERYBODY IN THE END.

Council comments? Mr. Simpson?

Thank you, Mr. President. Mayor Shields, I really appreciated your remarks when we started about everything that's going on in Medina that we should all be so proud of, and I know we all are. I just ask everybody to remember there's still a lot of people in our community and around the state and around the nation that are hurting not only financially but emotionally with what's going on, maybe in their own lives or around the world. I just ask you to keep them in your thoughts and prayers and help people where you can. And remember, sometimes just being kind to somebody and not judgmental can make all the difference in the world. The other thing that I would like to say, there's been a lot of comments, and I know this goes up and beyond the city of Medina. comments that's been made on our local news and national news about the primaries that's going on around our country. I just ask, and I actually beg people, this November when it's time to vote, and every year after this, I think it's getting out of hand. I ask you that you become informed voters for whoever you're going to vote for. It doesn't matter if you're an independent Republican or Democrat. Be educated about that person, and if any of them, any of them, you find in your fact-finding that they are lying or being less than truthful, I beg of you, don't vote for that person. I know I'm kind of on a bully pulpit here, but I feel it's just getting out of hand. But that's all I have to say. Be kind to one another, and be safe. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Herr.

And I'm just going to tag on to Mr. Simpson and say, pay attention to your tax dollars. If somebody's wasting your tax dollars, I don't have indispensable money that I can just throw out there. This is all of our money. Pay attention to these people and what they're doing with your tax dollars and vote accordingly. Thank you.

Thank you. Ms. Salvo?

Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to say with all the events that are going on at the square, and thank you, Mayor, for pointing them all out, and we are all, we know that we are looking at the traffic flow around the square and parking and all those issues, but I just want everybody to please remember that While walkers in the crosswalks do have the right of way, there's such a thing as being dead right. So please make sure that you're paying attention when you're out there using the crosswalks, walking around the square. The people who are driving may not be familiar with the square. They may try to go down a one-way street the wrong way. So we just want to make sure everybody's aware of what's going on and be aware of your surroundings and be safe. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Isabella.

I just want to say thank you to our department heads who attended our health, safety, and sanitation committee. I appreciate all the updates from everyone. Otherwise, stay safe, everyone, on the square this summer. Happy Juneteenth, and happy Pride this Thursday in Medina.

Thank you. And I think, Mr. Lamb, you yielded to next meeting.

I'm good. Okay.

all right anything uh with that i mean i hope everybody uh the summer has kicked off and enjoy all the events in the the city of medina has to offer uh get out and enjoy the weather because before you know it nino's going to be talking about salt again and we don't want to go there so with that the meeting is adjourned
