INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING/ PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 20-21
Authorizing the Provision of Certain Incentives to CollisionRight, LLC., to
induce it to Lease a Facility to Retain and Expand its Corporate
Headquarters and its Associated Operations and Workforce, all within the
City; and Authorizing the Execution of an Economic Development
Agreement.
Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance.
Ms. O'Malley stated that CollisionRight, LLC established in Dublin in 2021, has reached
capacity at its temporary Dublin facilities located inside Brick House Blue in Bridge
Park. As a result, CollisionRight has been conducting a competitive real estate search
for expansion opportunities to establish a national headquarters in several Central Ohio
communities. CollisionRight offers high-quality auto body repair services by combining
advanced training, OEM -certifications, and the use of state-of-the-art equipment. To
meet expansion needs, CollisionRight is considering executing a ten-year lease in
Dublin that would retain and establish a new corporate headquarters in the community
under women -owned leadership. In consideration of the company's investment
commitment, the Economic Development Agreement (EDA) proposed is a performance
withholding incentive totaling $79,000. The incentive is contingent upon the company
signing a ten-year lease within City of Dublin corporation limits of at least 5,000 SF.
The project retains six (6) existing employee positions within the City. The Company
also expects to create twenty seven (27) new employee positions within the City by
December 31, 2028. The City anticipates more than $374,000 in net withholdings over
the next seven years.
Staff recommended approval of this Ordinance at the second reading/public hearing on
May 10, 2021.
Ms. Weisenauer noted that no comments have been received regarding this item.
Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that EDA's often include a employee growth and/or
retention goal. Ms. O'Malley reiterated that they currently have six employees and
intend to incrementally grow to 33 employees by 2028. Mayor Amorose Groomes
stated that the agreement only mentions withholdings and not jobs and it often
mentions both.
Vice Mayor De Rosa would like the EDA to be clarified to include the jobs requirement.
Ms. Fox stated that because of the working remote issue, this is an incentive to work in
the City in order for the employer to make the withholding requirement. Ms. Readler
stated that the requirement to maintain a lease guarantees their presence in the City.
The incentive is based upon their meeting the caps set forth in the agreement and is
based on jobs in Dublin. If they cannot meet those caps, then they do not get the

incentive. Ms. O'Malley stated that this is a longer term lease commitment in a time
when a lot of businesses are trying to get shorter leases due to the uncertainty of the
future of remote work.
Mr. Keeler stated he looks forward to learning more about their business when the
representatives attend the second reading.
Second reading and public hearing is scheduled for the May 10, 2021 Council meeting.

Resolution 23-21
Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the State Route 161/Cosgray Road
Roundabout Project.
Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution.
Mr. Hammersmith stated that on April 6, 2021, seven bids were received, publicly
opened and read for the State Route (SR) 161 / Cosgray Road Roundabout project.
Work included in the project consists of the construction of a modern roundabout
including asphalt paving, storm sewer, curb and gutter, straight curb, truck apron,
brick pavers, sidewalk, shared -use path, street lights, signing, pavement markings and
landscaping.
This project is within three separate jurisdictions, the City of Dublin, Union County and
Franklin County. All three jurisdictions have been working together to construct this
project. The three project partners entered into a Cooperative Construction
Agreement on June 28, 2016 for the intersection improvements. In accordance with
the Agreement, the City was the main point of contact regarding the property
acquisition necessary for the project, but Union County was responsible for costs of
purchasing or acquiring those property interests from the various property owners.
The Engineer's estimate for this project is $3,500,000. In accordance with the
Agreement, the City previously contributed $937,500 towards the project to Union
County. In addition to the City's contribution, Franklin County and the Developer were
also obligated to make financial contributions towards the project. Along with the
financial contribution, the City agreed to perform property acquisitions, coordinate
utility relocations, oversee plan preparation and manage construction and inspection
for the project. Union County is to finance the remaining costs of the Project and pay
all invoices.
George J. Igel & Company, Inc. submitted the lowest and best bid of $3,073,309.83.
The project is required to be substantially complete and open to traffic in August 2021.
The final completion date for the project is September 30, 2021. The typical and
customary communication methods will be used to convey construction information
with the residents, business owners and motorists throughout the duration of this
project.
Staff recommended Council approval of Resolution No. 23-21 accepting as lowest and
best, the bid of George J. Igel & Company, Inc.
Mayor Amorose Groomes thanked Mr. Hammersmith for the work on this project.
Ms. Weisenauer noted that no comments have been received regarding this item.

Resolution 24-21
To Approve the Application filed by the City Manager thereby creating a
Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area in Bridge Park and Enacting
Regulations.
Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution.
Ms. LeRoy provided a presentation that illustrated the design of the cup that will be
used for the pilot period, a map showing the boundaries of the DORA and details
regarding how feedback will be received during the pilot period.
Ms. LeRoy stated that the cups that will be used are able to be recycled, but
unfortunately, no companies are recycling cups right now. Staff will continue to work
on finding a company that will recycle them.
Each business within the DORA will have a sticker that identifies whether or not they
are participating in the DORA or not. For the pilot period, there will be cling signs on
the sidewalks indicating the DORA boundaries.
Ms. Fox asked if the items with the logo have already been ordered. Ms. LeRoy stated
that some cups have been ordered due to the length of time it takes to received them.
Orders have been placed in smaller quanitities to allow the pilot period to begin. Ms.
Fox suggested that the logo should include a picture of the Dublin Link Bridge instead
of a cup on a cup. Ms. LeRoy stated that the logo was discussed and the Bridge was
purposely not used because drinks are not allowed on the Bridge. To avoid confusion,
staff decided not to include the Bridge in the branding. Mayor Amorose Groomes
agreed it would be a conflicting message. Ms. Fox stated that she would like to see a
different logo and sees this as a marketing opportunity for our City. Ms. Alutto
suggested that this topic be a topic of discussion at the conclusion of the pilot, so if
Council determines to continue the DORA in a more permanent fashion, the logo could
be reevaluated.
Ms. Fox asked about how the public surveying would work. Ms. LeRoy stated that the
survey itself would live on the website, but there would be QR Codes in several places
allowing people to scan the code and answer the survey questions. The feedback will
be reviewed at the end of the period.
Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that she would like to be monitoring public input at the mid
point of the pilot period and not wait until the end. She expressed appreciation for
staff looking into recycling and composting the cups. The GoDublin app is such a
wonderful tool, she would like to see a way for people to provide feedback on the
GoDublin app.
Mayor Amorose Groomes stated that she is appreciative of staff working on
compostable options. She stated that OSU has a zero landfill inside the stadium on
football Saturdays, so she would like to see these types of solutions implemented. She
also asked about what the public will be charged for the cup and is that amount
sufficient to cover our costs? Ms. LeRoy stated that for the duration of the pilot
program there is no revenue on the cups; the public pays 10 cents a cup and the City
has about 9.5 cents in the cost of each cup. After the pilot program, staff will bring
forward recommendations on how to move forward with the costs of the cups. Mayor
Amorose Groomes stated that when the pilot is over, she wants to discuss
sustainability in this program both environmentally and financially.
Ms. Weisenauer noted that no comments have been received regarding this item.
Vote on the Resolution: Mayor Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Alutto,
yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Ms. Fox, yes.
Resolution 25-21

Ms. LeRoy shared the map of the boundaries for the Historic Dublin DORA. She stated
that the only changes that were made from a previous map provided was the
boundary was extended to include CoHatch as well as further on South High. She
stated that the current boundaries mirror the entertainment district boundaries. Ms.
Fox expressed gratitude for extending the boundary to the south.
Mayor Amorose Groomes asked if there would be different cups for the east and west
side DORAs. Ms. LeRoy stated that different cups was considered, but it was
determined, after consulting with the Police Department, that the same cup would be
easier for enforcement.
