Held J\ug.__1L19i33 19 ".. ~ The regular meeting of Council was called to order by Mayor lewis at 7:30 P.M. with the following members present: Amorose, Chambers, Headlee, lewis, Maurer, Thornton and Sutphen. Also present were Mr. Sheldon, Village Manager and Mr. Smith, law Director. Mr. Chambers moved, seconded by Mrs. Headlee, to approve the minutes of the July 18th meeting. Vote on the motion was unanimous for approval. Mr. Sutphen moved, seconded by Mr. Amorose, to approve the bill listing for Aug. 1. Vote on the motion was unanimous for approval. Ordinance No. 34-83 Said ordinance to amend the Electronic Game Ordinance No. 26-82 was read for the third time. Mr. Thornton told Council that he was involved in a very lengthy survey trying to determine how the public felt about this ordinance. Every 15th household on the voter's register of the entire village, a total of 117 households, were interviewed by phone. The result shows that 75.8% of the population of Dublin is against the amendment of this Ordinance. Mr. Thornton has always believed that the Ordinance is a direct infringement of the rights of some of the citizens of Dublin and his opinion has not changed. However, after listening to all those people, he is convinced that if the games ordinance is amended the potential would exist to have a condition that would be detrimental to the health and welfare of the community, there- fore he wishes to reverse his position now. ,.... ~' Sharon Pfancuff, attorney representing Mr. Bash's interest, tmld the Council that she appreciates the concern Council has for the health and wel- fare of the public, but she fails to see how these electronic games would effect it. She pointed out a few facts that support the request for amend- ment. Mrs. Maurer asked whether Mr. Bash had a suggestion for compromise. Ms. Pfancuff said they have no particular number in mind, but feel that the permitted number of three game machines is totally unreasonable. ..... Mr. Chambers also believed that the ordinance is unconstitutional. Now he is told that the overwhelming majority of people want to retain the present ordinance. Although he holds their interest at heart, he will stand by the oath he took to uphold the constitution, because he has no proof that there is opposition to the amendment. Mr. Sutphen also told Council that he studied this matter, talked to many people, and found that the majority want to keep the ordinance as is and he is obligated to support their wish. The ordinance failed one to five with one abstention, Mr. Chambers being the only ore voting for, and Mr. lewis abstaining. ",.... Ordinance No. 39-83 Said ordinance dealing with vacating Old High School Road was introduced by Mr. Amorose and read for the first time. Mr. lewis wants a report from the planner and engineer in regard of the impact of vacating the road. He also wants to give some thought to the risk of liabili ty by the Village accepting the responsibility for snow removal after vacating. Mr. Thornton would like to know what the land will be used for once it is vacated, also whether the fire department has been notified, and the School Board will have to accept the road in it's present condition. -.... Mrs. Headlee is concerned about police protection, fire and parking on the road when it becomes private property. Mr. Chambers would like to find out what use we could make of the ravine and waterfall and how losing the road would inhibit that use.

Held . nAug_.m1~I.9B3 19 Page 2 ,..., ::~ '- Council received a report from Dublin Athletic Community Center Committee. Mrs. Headlee would like to see this report publicized, so we could have some input from the community and Park & Recreation Department. Mr. Carton, chairman of this committee was present. In his opinion it will take about a year to find out whether enough people would support the project. Mrs. Maurer asked if this information could be obtained in a much shorter time without going into all the details. Mr. Carton feels the decision has to be made whether we want to build a pool quickly or plan a large athletic complex. There is a need for two kinds of support: one to build the complex, and one to operate it which will also be a vast expense and will necessitate reasonable annual fees. Mr. Sheldon said we should decide first what is going into that facility, then determine the cost and estimated cost of operation. Mr. lewis said desirability and feasibility of the project is so interlocked, that they cannot be seperated. However, the committee should resume its deliberations and maybe add other people to it and give 90 day reports. At the same time Council and the staff could move ahead and investigate the alternatives as part of the Capital Improvement program. Mr. Carton agreed with the Mayor's suggestion. ,.... 1 Capital Improvements Committee's Report. Mr. Chambers, chairman of this committee, told Council their objective was to considere all improvements that Dublin will need in the next ten years. Council should narrow that down to what should be accomplished wi thin fi ve years. The Manager and staff should break that down to year;ly assignments. He made the motion that Council accept the report, and appruve it's recommendations, also that the report should be attached to. the "Council Rules of Order". Mrs. Maurer seconded the motion. ..... Mr. lewis pointed out that in the last three years 26 items have been on Capital Impr.Qvemeht's at-t.he. cost of more than $6 million. However, he appreciates the report of the committee and he is going to support it. Vote on the motion was unanimous for approval. Roundtable Discussion. Mrs. Headlee told Council she received a letter from a Dublin business person who requests parking laws be enforced more. Mr. Thornton made a motion to authorize preperation of an amendment to the Charter. It would call for election of the mayor by the voters rather than Council. He ran a survey and found that 81% of the population want the mayor elected directly by the people. Mr. Chambers seconded the motion. Some discussion followed, but the motion failed with only Mr. Chambers and Mr. Thornton voting in favor. Other Councilmembers felt there are too many problems to work on in connection with this issue before it could go on the ballot. "..... Mrs. Maurer said the staff should be advised on what steps to take in regard to the City Hall project. ~ Mr. lewis made a comment in regard to the economy as it is represented by the growth in Dublin. According to the number of building permits approved thus far, the year will end with a bUlding permit value greater than the peak year of 1980.

Form No. 1097 ~ Held _l\lJ9. 1LJ.<JB3. 19 Page 3 [ Mr. lewis announced that even though the Charter Committee recommended no actions to be taken this time, we will proceed with a public meeting to discuss the committee's findings. The regular meeting of Council adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Council convened as a committee at 9:10 P.M. to consider comments regarding the Charter. There was no one in the audience who wanted to address the subject. Mr. Chambers informed Council that he had a meeting with the committee and discussed with them his desire to change the Charter in such a way to assure that people being elected from the wards are elected by the majority of the votes. He is questioning whether the ward system is what we want for Dublin. Dublin is a collection of neighborhoods; the ward system makes unification into a city more difficult. He also suggested that the name of Park & Recreation Committee should be changed to Commission, so that they would be responsible for their own program r Mr. Chambers said there has been a lot of discussion about the function of Board of Zoning Appeals. On a number of items they have overruled Planning and Zoning Commission and Council. He thinks we should require a four out of fhevotes to overrule either of those bodies. i ..... Mr. Chambers is very disturbed by the Charter Committee's suggestion that no changes should be made at this time, because he does not believe that there is nothing in the Charter that could be improved upon. He is sorry that the committee saw fit despite their charge, to hold their meetings other than the public manner. Mr. lewis stated that, in his opinion, the committee acted very properly, in the manner consistent with most of the committees we had in the past. Their purpose is to make a recommendation, after which a public hearing is held. He is very satisfied with the report they issued. Mr. lewis thought the fact that Mr. Thornton's motion earlier did not get a more favorable response was not oecessarily reflective of the suggestion, but the fact that electing a mayor means having to address a lot of secondary issues and that takes much time and effort. Mr. Dixon defended his decision to conduct committee meetings in his home. Mr. Gunner, Assistant law Director, assured him that since they were only fact-finding and not decision-making body, they did not violate the open meeting law. Mrs. Maurer said she is interested to hear if there is anybody who is --- dissatisfied with the present form of government, or the performance of the Mayor. The mayor is not appointed but elected by Council, who in turn is elected by the public. ,.... \.- Mr. Chambers asked Mr. Smith to determine and report next meeting what the difference is between strong and weak mayor. Mr. Frambes told Council he was disappointed in having to solicit public input. The reason why he recommended no change at this time was because he felt there was not enough time to come up with solid recommendations. Mr. lewis agreed with Mr. Frambes, pointing out that it would be almost 279. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS At inutes of AJ eeting National Graphics Corp., Cols" O. Form No. 1097 .....
