Do you think that investment has been very worthwhile, somewhat worthwhile, or not at all worthwhile? Downtown Akron is the largest place of employment in Summit County increasing from 15,000 to 30,000 jobs in 20 years. The incremental increase in income tax pays the equivalent of 140 police officers who Akron would otherwise not be able to afford. Knowing the increase in jobs in Downtown Akron, do you think it is an excellent, good, fair, poor, or very poor investment? 2015 Summit Poll 2. www.CMOResearch.com 1. 4 Key Findings CITY SERVICES About two-thirds of respondents (67.2%) were very or somewhat satisfied with city services other than police and fire.

    Confronting a challenging year together. 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2 • Summit County Public Health Summit County Public Health • 3 Message from the Health Commissioner 2020: A Pandemic Year to Remember When I began to review the last year, I could not help but harken back to the joys we had in 2019. We had paid off the building debt and were reaccredited. BOARD OF HEALTH We were planning for a Gala 100th Year Celebration honoring 100 years of public health and preparing to increase the fund balance for events such as a President pandemic. The completion of our sewer project meant our plumbing problems Roberta DePompei, PhD would soon be over. We were excited to look closely at our long-term financial (Stow) stability and our grant/general revenue ratio. With our debt resolved, this President Pro Tempore was the year we were going to streamline programs and address areas of M. Dominic Cugini, BB, BA community need based on the Community Health Improvement Plan. (General Health District) Housing and all social determinants were to be further developed in our Patricia Billow, BS, JD new Strategic Plan. This was our year! It was going to be good! (Tallmadge) With that said, I’m not sure how to explain 2020. You could not have written James R. Boex, MBA, PhD a more bizarre novel if you tried. It was a year with many challenges along the (Hudson) way and many moments when truth was stranger than fiction. In spite of it all, Todd Burdette, BS, MBA we received many acts of kindness and monumental support from the Summit (Licensing Council) County Board of Health board members, communities and partners.

  • ENGINEERING STATEMENT This Engineering Statement Is Prepared
    ENGINEERING STATEMENT This engineering statement is prepared on behalf of Media-Com Television, Inc., licensee of Low Power TV Station WAOH-LP - Akron, Ohio, in support of comments in MM Docket 87-268, the DTV allotment proceeding. WAOH-LP operates on Channel 29 with a maximum peak visual effective radiated power of 60.6 kilowatts utilizing a direc- tional antenna. The draft table of DTV allotments contained in the Sixth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket 87-268 proposes to allot Channel 29 to Youngstown, Ohio, as a DTV allotment for use by WKBN-TV, whose present NTSC operation is on Channel 27. The WAOH-LP transmitter site lies 21.3 kilometers inside the predicted 43.8 dBu noise limited contour for the proposed DTV operation of WKBN- TV on Channel 29. Thus, it is obvious that continued operation by WAOH-LP on Chan- nel 29 would cause interference to the DTV operation of WKBN-TV proposed in this draft table, since it is impossible to provide the required protection to a cochannel facil- ity, either DTV or NTSC, from a transmitter site located within its protected contour. The WAOH-LP transmitter site also lies within the predicted noise limited contours of the DTV facilities proposed in this draft table for three other stations for which DTV channels have been proposed which could possibly receive interference from the pres- ent operation of WAOH-LP: WQHS-TV Cleveland,OH Channel 28 WBNX-TV Akron,OH Channel 31 WFMJ-TV Youngstown,OH Channel 36 Based upon the DTV system performance capabilities outlined in Appendix A of this Sixth Further Notice, however, it appears extremely unlikely that the present operation of WAOH-LP would result in actual interference to the DTV operations proposed in this ---- CARL E.
