Mayor Lewis recommended the appointment of Mrs. Sally Ann Haase, President of the Dublin Women's Club to the Board of Governors of the Dublin Fund as the representative of the Dublin Village Council. Mayor Lewis appointed the following Councilmembers to the Board of Trustees of the Dublin Area Community Improvement Corporation: Ms. Maurer, Mr. Close, Mr. Amorose, Mr. Sutphen, and Mr. Thornton. The appointments will take effect immediately. r' L Mayor Lewis mentioned the extensive review in December of the five year Capital Improvements Program. After that review the projects went to the Village Manager and Finance Director for further analysis, and the computation of consequences and cost. A number of those projects are going to require some preliminary and architectural services that are necessary before the Village can bring them to full financial examination. 1. Municipal Building Expansion. The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending the approval of an architect in order to get down to specifics in regard to the design on that project. Ms. Maurer moved Council authorize the Village Manager to retain an architect for further definition of this project. The motion was seconded by Mr. Amorose and passed unanimously.. 2. After description and discussion by Mayor Lewis, Mr. Close moved to proceed with the design engineering in order to get capi tal estimates on the project to connect the water line which currently runs just west of Dublin Road along Rings Road with the water line that runs north and south on Frantz Road (a distance of some several hundred feet). Mr. Thornton seconded the motion and the vote on the motion was unanimous. 3. Following Mayor Lewis's remarks on the subject, Mrs. Headlee moved to proceed with the design engineering to loop the water line running east and west on Post Road with the line currently terminating just to the south of the primary development in Muirfield. This is being considered in two parts with Dublin's extension to terminate at the vicinity of the Brand Road border of Muirfield. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. At the recommendation of Mayor Lewis, Mrs. Headlee moved to give the Village Manager the authority to retain the bond counselor Rick Simpson to make an accurate determination of our inside millage and those projections, and to recommend alternate financing arrange- ments. Mr. Thornton seconded the motion and the vote to approve was unanimous. r L. 4. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 133 Minutes of Meeting ~ National Graphics Corp., Cols., O. Form No. 1097 ~ II elel January 16, 1984 19 Page Four Ifl"'" ''-' Nan Prushing, Finance Director, introduced Mr. Bill Brenning and Mr. Bruce Dresbach of Burgess & Niple Limited who were hired as consultants to recommend to the Village the necessary requirements for the compu- terization of our business systems. Mr. Brenning noted that the initial need was to automate the accounting and payroll systems, the basic financial applications wi thin the Village. He also noted the possibili ty of the near-term need for income tax collection, police records, and Mayor's Court (the possibility of docketing and accounting). Of the five responding bids, two quoted prices of all future requirements. Radio Shack indicated everything is available; however, the packages are not all there. It would require additional in-house expertise to develop the packages in-house, with some outside assistance. With Software Solutions the packages are currently available or they bid custom prices. Mr. Brenning cited some estimated costs for various packages 70% of the business of Software Solutions is done with municipalities and in the government marketplace. The Radio Shack bid is a combination bid with Don Fry and Associates who are a software supplier in the govern- mental market. Software Solutions bid is with all Texas Instruments equipment. Mr. Close expressed a concern regarding the fact that the state auditor's office has a system by which they will certify the software package for income tax collection. The Village needs to be sure it has the capability to be certified by the auditor's office so that the income tax feature can be used if and when the Village wants to use it. Mr. Brenning will check on it. Ms. Prushing noted that representatives of Software Solution~ will be in Columbus this week. She invited interested members of Council to attend the demonstration and view the equipment. ,..... L Mr. Sheldon mentioned that the Herdman family is considering gifting the Village 5 acres of river front property on the east side of the river opposite the northern end of Bash Recreation on the west side of S.R. 257. Mr. Sheldon requested the approval of Council to allow him to have the property appraised. Mrs. Headlee moved and Ms~ Maurer seconded the request for approval. It was agreed to hold the regularly scheduled Council Meeting on February 20, 1984 even though Village offices will be closed that day for President's Coy. Council Roundtable Discussion ~ Mr. Thornton mentioned the following issues: 1 . He recalled the discussion Council had in November regarding the Waterford-Reserve A situation. Because of icy weather conditions approximately two weeks ago, should there have been an emergency, emergency vehicles would have had no access to a number of homes in the area. He suggested having a service walkway through the area, seeding it so that it could be used by emergency vehicles, and suggested the Village go ahead with that project~ Mr. Thornton also mentioned the'traffic conditions that exist on 161 from Frantz Road to the other side of the bridge; notably that which exists at the Corbin's Mill intersection. He mentioned the Reserve on the plat which is for a road to go from Corbin's Mill to Monterey Drive. He requested that the Reserve be retained and not "done away wi th". r L 2.

Mr. Thornton also discussed the southwest quadrant and the Muirfield Drive extension on the north side where there is no access to 161 and suggested that the Administration do what needs to be done to get the State in the position so that at some date in the not too distant future so that there might be an intersection onto 161 between Frantz Road and Avery Road. Mr. Sutphen mentioned that water tower landscaping should be put on a priority basis. Mr. Sheldon said that plans and a cost estimate from Buck and Sons Landscape, are in his office. Council members are free to study them. Mayor Lewis noted that Mr. Thornton's concerns regarding roads and traffic are being studied by Mr. Warner, the Village Engineer, along with the assistance of consultants. [ Mr. Rozanski, a resident, spoke regarding the destruction of the historic stone wall fences in the two new housing development areas - Llewellyn Farms and Donegal Cliffs. He mentioned that those in the Donegal Cliffs area are being repaired and/or replaced but those in the Llewellyn Farm area are not~ Mr. Bowman said that no agreements have been made regarding the stone fence walls. Ms.. Maurer commented that no agreement had been made with the Llewellyn Farms developer, and thus the Village has no leverage. She also mentioned the fact that there would be a driveway access every two houses. She also recommended that perhaps the developer might make the stones available to Village residents who might want to reconstruct their own stone wall fences. Mr. Warner mentioned a letter he received regarding that area from the County Engineer. The stone wall fence in Llewellyn Farms is in the county right-of-way and the County Engineer has given the landowner the authority to tear the stone wall fence down. Perhaps the Village, in the future, could avert the destruction of the fences by bargaining with potential developers. Mr. Smith will examine the legalities involved in preventing the destruction of the stone wall fences in the future.
