Re: Res. 36-18 and 37-18 - Resolutions & Petition for Property Assessed Clean
Energy (PACE) Special Improvement for 525 Metro Place North
The City of Dublin is focused on setting appropriate conditions to encourage investment and
economic development. City Council continues to support our strategies and tactics to ensure
Dublin's office space remains competitive in the market as supported by the Dublin Corporate Area
Plan. One particular tool the economic development team has brought to existing building owners"
attention is the use a favorable financing tool for major building energy efficiency improvements.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs represent a great mechanism available for
financing energy efficiency and renewable energy improvement projects. PACE -enabling legislatio
is active in 33 states plus the District of Columbia, and PACE programs are now active (launched
and operating) in 19 states plus DC. PACE allows qualifying energy improvements to be financed
through assessments on a property owner's real estate tax bill. A summary of PACE is provided al
an attachment to this memo.
PACE special assessments are used to secure local government bonds issued to fund the
improvements without requiring the borrower or the sponsoring local government to pledge its
credit. By allowing participating property owners to pay for energy improvements to their
properties via a bond issue tied to a special assessment on their property tax bill, PACE financing
Anables property owners to reduce energy costs with little to no upfront investment.
Financing for PACE eligible projects in Central Ohio is provided by the Columbus -Franklin County
Finance Authority (Finance Authority). The Finance Authority established the Columbus Regional
Special Improvement District that allows for additional properties within the City of Columbus, Ohi#
and within any municipal corporation or township that is adjacent to any other municipal
corporation or township to opt -in to the District. Projects between $200,000 - $6,000,000 may be
financed through the Finance Authority's bond fund. Eligible uses of funds include LED lighting,
energy management and controls that includes, HVAC and boiler replacement, building envelope,
and other improvements that result in bottom line operation savings for building owners and
tenants.
The building ownership at 525 Metro Place North is requesting the use of PACE Financing for its
energy efficiency improvement project totaling $902,198. A signed PACE Project Development
Agreement has been executed between the owner, OH15 Dublin LLC, and the project manager,,
Memo re. Res. 36-18 and 37-18 - PACE for 525 Metro Place North
August 9, 2018

Plug Smart. The scope of work includes LED lighting upgrades, boiler replacement, cooling tower
replacement, and other temperature control upgrades. In order to satisfy this request, the City of
Dublin must pass a series of Resolutions on August 13, 2018 and Ordinances on August 27 and
%ol
September 10, 2018 Council meetings. These Resolutions and Ordinances will allow building
ownership to opt -in to the Regional Special Improvement District.
The City has no financial obligations with the establishment of a Special Improvement District for
this project. The City simply serves as a pass through entity for the project financing. Therefore,
future Ordinances will receive readings on August 27 and September 10, 2018, and will be titled as
emergencies to allow for closing to take place following the second reading on September 10,
2018. Timing is of the essence for these documents so that the building owner may schedule a
closing and complete the necessary energy improvements to their office building.
Staff recommends Council passage of Resolution No. 36-18 and Resolution No. 37-18 on
August 13, 2018. Please contact Jeremiah Gracia with any questions.
