Re: Ordinance 14-22 - Authorizing the Provision of Certain Incentives to Mount Carmel
Health System to Induce it to Establish a Northwest Healthcare Campus Within the
City; and Authorizing the Execution of an Economic Development Agreement.
Ordinance 15-22 - Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into an Infrastructure
Agreement with Mount Carmel Health System for the Mount Carmel Health System
Project.
Update
On April 11, 2022, Dublin City Council held the first reading of Ordinance 14-22 for an economic
development agreement between the City of Dublin and Mount Carmel Health System (“Mount
Carmel”). At the same meeting, City Council also held the first reading of Ordinance 15-22 for an
infrastructure agreement between the City of Dublin and Mount Carmel.
Mount Carmel desires to construct up to 314,520 square feet of development in two phases including
an in-patient hospital, ambulatory care facility, and medical offices (“the Development”). Phase 1
allows for the development of the primary building consisting of an inpatient hospital, ambulatory
care facility, and attached medical office building (MOB). Phase 2 allows for the development of the
detached building MOB.
City staff and Mount Carmel have worked collaboratively to draft the terms of an Economic
Development Agreement and Infrastructure Agreement for this project. At the meeting on April 11th,
Council raised several questions about the draft agreements, which are addressed below. The
documents provided for the first readings are attached for reference regarding the specifics of the
proposed development and the terms of the draft agreements. This memorandum is intended to
address questions and clarifications necessary based on the discussion at the first reading.
Economic Development Agreement
The proposed Economic Development Agreement remains largely the same as was presented at the
first reading with the exception of Section 2(f) which addresses “City Land.” The City owns
approximately 1.5 acres of residual property at 4045 Bright Road, located in the SE corner of Emerald
Parkway and Bright Road. The draft agreement previously indicated that “From 2022 through 2027,
the City of Dublin agrees to make this land available to Mount Carmel at a cost of $0, contingent
upon the commencement of construction of a later phase medical office building.” City Council
requested the language referencing “a later phase medical office building” be clarified. Accordingly,
this language has been revised to “…a future phase medical office building located along Bright Road
and incorporating PID: 273-008616 within the Development Plan.”

Infrastructure Agreement
The proposed Infrastructure Agreement remains largely the same as was presented at the first
reading with changes proposed to Sections 1, 2, and 3.
Section 1 Emerald Parkway Main Entry Improvements - Dublin staff have determined the traffic
control at this access point will be a roundabout and the language in Section 1 has been revised to
reflect this determination. Dublin staff tasked an engineering consultant with evaluating the
recommended traffic control type at this intersection. Staff completed the review of the evaluation
report and have discussed the report with the Mount Carmel applicant team. The evaluation
recommends that this intersection be constructed as a roundabout, for a variety of reasons:
• the signal option would create a sight distance issue with the opposing left turn lanes and
the inherent curvature along Emerald Parkway,
• the signal option would cause queuing in the long-term that is expected to block the
emergency entrance to the south of the main access,
• while the initial construction cost of a roundabout is higher, the long-term life-cycle
operational costs are expected to be lower with a roundabout than a traffic signal, and
• there are inherent benefits to a roundabout, such as reduced delay, fuel consumption and
emissions, and providing consistent character and traffic operation of the corridor.
Section 2 Emerald Parkway Service Drive Entry Improvements - Minor non-substantive edits are
proposed to clarify the language is addressing the entry point as opposed to the access drive.
Section 3 Bright Road Right-of-Way Access Improvements - Council requested the word “maintain”
be added to Section 3 to clarify Mount Carmel will be responsible for designing, constructing, and
maintaining the Project’s internal drives and Bright Road Access Drive.
City Council also requested overall cost information associated with the Infrastructure Agreement.
The Mount Carmel TIS identifies the following infrastructure improvements to the surrounding road
roadway network to mitigate the impact of the additional traffic generated by this proposed
Development. Due to the unique relationship of the Development with the City’s previously studied
and identified Bright Road Corridor Improvements, a non-traditional funding and implementation
approach is being proposed to address the transportation improvements. Dublin’s estimated
contribution is indicated for each improvement.

Additionally, with regard to the Bright Road Corridor, from 2016-2019, the cities of Dublin and
Columbus performed a Corridor Study for Sawmill Road, which included Bright Road east of Emerald
Parkway. This Corridor Study was completed for future planning purposes in preparation for
development to occur and focused on infrastructure needs in each corridor. Results of the Corridor
Study were presented to City Council in June 2019 and to the East Dublin Civic Association in October
2019. The Bright Road Corridor project design was intentionally delayed until such time as area
development was better understood to ensure long term viability of improvements. As development
progresses in the area, this Corridor Study is used as a baseline. The recommendations in the Mount
Carmel TIS for improvements at the Sawmill Road and Bright Road intersection are consistent with
the improvements recommended in the City’s 2019 Corridor Study. The Mount Carmel Development
is expected to contribute less than 4% of the overall traffic at this intersection, which does not
require any additional improvements. Therefore, the intersection needs are considered background
improvements, as they are needed with or without the site traffic generated by the Development.
These improvements include an additional eastbound lane on Bright Road, providing a dedicated
eastbound right turn lane from Bright Road to Sawmill Road; and a second dedicated northbound
left turn lane from Sawmill Road to Bright Road. The second left turn lane also requires a second
receiving lane, westbound on Bright Road, which will taper back down to one lane prior to the
Emerald Parkway roundabout.
With the use and infrastructure needs for this significant site identified, now is the appropriate time
to proceed with designing and implementing the improvements recommended in the City’s 2019
Corridor Study for the Bright Road Corridor between Emerald Parkway and Sawmill Road, including
the Bright Road and Sawmill Road intersection. Preliminary Engineering is underway and the initial
roadway layout was shared with the East Dublin Civic Association in March. The design also includes
separated bicycle and pedestrian facilities, along with dedicated left turn lanes into the development
site. The City will continue the public engagement process as the plans progress. Detailed design
will immediately follow the preliminary engineering. The estimated construction cost of the Bright
Road Corridor Improvements between Emerald Parkway and Sawmill Road, including the Bright Road
and Sawmill Road Intersection, is currently preliminarily estimated to be $4,950,000.
Funding
The funds required to satisfy Dublin’s obligations under the Infrastructure Agreement will be
programmed as part of the five-year 2023 – 2027 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) update.
The funding for design of the Bright Road Corridor Improvements between Emerald Parkway and
Sawmill Road, including the Bright Road and Sawmill Road intersection was included in the Q1
Supplemental Appropriations Ordinance 04-22 approved in March. Construction funding will be
requested as part of the CIP update.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 14-22 and Ordinance 15-22, authorizing the City Manager
to enter into an Economic Development Agreement and Infrastructure Agreement with Mount Carmel
Health System at the second reading on April 25.

evidence that it has acquired the site upon which the Facility will be constructed, (ii) the City issuing
to the Company (which issuance will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) a
certificate of occupancy (the “Certificate of Occupancy”) for the Facility, (iii) the Company
occupying the Facility and (iv) such other conditions as are set forth in Section 2; provided, however,
and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall, after having acted in
good faith, fail to deliver written evidence as to the acquisition of the site upon which the Facility will
be constructed, receive the Certificate of Occupancy or occupy the Facility, each within the respective
periods set forth in subsections 3(s)(i), 3(s)(ii) and 3(s)(iii), (v) this Agreement will terminate without
such failure constituting a breach by the Company, (vi) the City’s obligation to remit the Annual

Section 2. City’s Agreement to Provide Incentives.
(a) General. In consideration for the Company’s agreement to develop, construct and
operate a healthcare campus within the City, the City agrees to provide economic development
incentives to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.
(b) Workforce Creation Incentive.
(i) Calculation of Actual Payroll Withholding Taxes. On or before March 15 of
each of the years 2027 through 2036, the City shall calculate the actual payroll withholding
taxes collected and received during the then preceding calendar year and in respect of that
preceding calendar year by the City from all Employees (as defined below). For purposes of
that calculation, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the total amount of actual payroll
withholding taxes in respect of any calendar year shall be determined based solely upon the
amount of payroll withholding tax payments actually received by the City from (or on behalf
of) the Company or any Affiliated Entity during that calendar year. The Parties further
acknowledge and agree that any amount received by the City in respect of any calendar year
but following the conclusion of that calendar year will not be considered in the total amount
of actual payroll withholding taxes for that calendar year; provided, however, the City reserves
in its sole discretion the right to waive this limitation.
For purposes of this Section 2, “Employees” shall include only those individuals
employed by the Company or any Affiliated Entity and working within the City.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliated Entity” or “Affiliated Entities” shall mean
any entity listed on EXHIBIT A or any entity controlled by or under common control with the
Company and/or Trinity Health Corporation and, “controlled by” or “under common control
SPB #010-9342-5910v5: 03-31-2022 - 3 -
with” will refer to the possession, directly or indirectly, of the legal power to direct or cause
the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the exercise of, or
the ability to exercise, voting power or by contract. The Parties agree that the payroll
withholdings taxes of any Employee(s) employed by an Affiliated Entity which is not
included on EXHIBIT A shall not be included in the computations described in this Section 2
until such time as the Company shall have submitted a written request to the City which
identifies the Affiliated Entity and that Affiliated Entity’s Federal Employer Identification
Number, and such request shall have been approved in writing by the City, which approval
shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, the payroll
withholdings taxes of any Employee(s) employed by an Affiliated Entity shall not be included
in the computations described in this Section 2 in respect of any particular calendar year if
those payroll withholdings taxes are for that particular calendar year included in the
computations for a separate City municipal income tax-based incentive payment. Promptly
following the City’s approval of such additional Affiliated Entity, the Parties agree that
EXHIBIT A will be updated to reflect that additional Affiliated Entity.
All obligations of the Company under this Section 2 may be satisfied by any
combination of Company and any Affiliated Entity; provided, however, Actual Withholdings
(as defined below) in any calendar year shall not include those actual payroll withholding
taxes collected and received by the City during such calendar year which are received (net of
refunds) in respect of any person if such person was employed in the City by an Affiliated
Entity immediately preceding the occurrence of the event resulting in the recognition of such
entity as an Affiliated Entity.
(ii) Information Relating to Employees. The Company agrees that, in accordance
with the City’s codified ordinances, as may hereafter be amended from time to time (the
“Dublin City Code”), the annual payroll reconciliation and related W-2 forms relating to its
Employees will be provided to the City prior to February 28 of each calendar year,
commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 20____.
(iii) Employer Identification Number. The Company’s Federal Employer
Identification Number is 31-1439334. The Company agrees that if the Federal Employer
Identification Number changes at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Company
will notify the City of such change, including the new Federal Employer Identification
Number, within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such change.
(iv) Annual Incentive Payments to the Company. Subject to the Company’s
compliance with the requirements (if applicable) set forth in subsection 2(c), if the actual
payroll withholding taxes collected and received by the City pursuant to subsection 2(b)(i)
during the then preceding calendar year and in respect of that preceding calendar year from
all Employees, net of refunds (such amount being referred to as the “Actual Withholdings”),
equal or exceed the Target Withholdings (as defined in subsection 2(b)(v)) for that preceding
calendar year, the City shall, on or before April 15 of the then current calendar year, pay to
the Company, solely from nontax revenues (as defined in subsection 2(e)), an amount equal
to the product of (A) the Actual Withholdings for that preceding calendar year multiplied by
(B) fifteen percent (15%) (with each such product being referred to as an “Annual Incentive
SPB #010-9342-5910v5: 03-31-2022 - 4 -
Payment”); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Annual Incentive Payments
remitted pursuant to this subsection 2(b) by the City to the Company shall not exceed Nine
Hundred Thirteen Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($913,942.00).
(v) Target Withholdings. The Target Withholdings for each of the calendar years
2026 through 2035 shall be as follows:
Calendar Year Target Withholdings
2026 $452,954
2027 512,572
2028 549,554
2029 582,009
2030 601,886
2031 604,215
2032 606,466
2033 618,595
2034 630,967
2035 643,586
(vi) Forfeiture of Right to Receive Annual Incentive Payments. The Company
agrees and acknowledges that the Annual Incentive Payments provided for in subsection 2(b)
are being made by the City to the Company in consideration for the Company’s agreement to
develop, construct and operate the Facility, and to create new jobs and employment
opportunities, all within the City. The Company further agrees that if the Target Withholdings
requirement is not met for any given calendar year as set forth in subsection 2(b)(v), the City
shall not be obligated to make an Annual Incentive Payment to the Company for the calendar
year in respect of which the Target Withholdings requirement was not satisfied. Failure to
satisfy the Target Withholdings requirement in respect of any one calendar year does not
prohibit the Company from receiving an Annual Incentive Payment for any subsequent
calendar year in respect of which the Target Withholdings requirement is satisfied.
(c) Filing of Municipal Income Tax Returns and Remission of Related Taxes.
(i) The Company shall only be obligated to comply subsections 2(c)(ii) and
2(c)(iii) to the extent that it is required under applicable law to file a municipal income tax
with the City.
(ii) The Company agrees that it shall timely (A) file directly with the City all
municipal income tax returns and (B) remit directly to the City all municipal income tax
payments, each as required by the Dublin City Code. While Ohio law currently permits the
Company to file its municipal income tax returns and remit its municipal income tax payments
directly through the Ohio Business Gateway, the Company acknowledges that if in respect of
any of the tax years 2026 through 2035 (inclusive), the Company either (C) files a related
municipal income tax return or (D) remits a related municipal income tax payment, in either
case directly with the Ohio Business Gateway instead of the City, then notwithstanding
subsection 2(c)(iii), the Company shall forfeit its right to receive and the City shall not be
SPB #010-9342-5910v5: 03-31-2022 - 5 -
obligated to remit any payment which the City might otherwise be required to pay pursuant
to subsection 2(b)(iv) (each applicable payment being referred to as a “Required Payment”)
in respect of that tax year.
(iii) Not earlier than fifteen (15) days preceding the date on which the City is
required to make a Required Payment to the Company, the City shall determine whether the
Company is in full compliance with its obligation to remit municipal income taxes to the City
pursuant to the Dublin City Code. If the City reasonably determines that the Company is not
in full compliance, the City shall not be obligated to make the Required Payment on the
required payment date and will promptly provide written notification of such determination
to the Company. If within sixty (60) days following the date of the City’s written notification
the City receives a payment from the Company which the City reasonably determines will
cause the Company to be in full compliance with its municipal income tax obligations
pursuant to the Dublin City Code (including any applicable interest and penalties), the City
will within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such payment remit to the Company the Required
Payment. If, however, the Company fails to timely remit sufficient payment to the City in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the City may in its sole discretion determine that the
City’s obligation to remit such Required Payment is voided and that such Required Payment
will not be made, and will promptly provide written notification to the Company of such
determination.
(d) Method of Payment. The payments to be paid to the Company as provided in this
Section 2 shall be made by the City to the Company by electronic funds transfer or by such other
manner as is mutually agreed to by the City and the Company.
(e) City’s Obligation to Make Payments Not Debt; Payments Limited to Nontax
Revenues. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the City pursuant
to this Agreement shall not be a general obligation debt or bonded indebtedness, or a pledge of the
general credit or taxes levied by the City, and the Company shall have no right to have excises or
taxes levied by the City, the State or any other political subdivision of the State for the performance
of any obligations of the City herein. Consistent with Section 13 of Article VIII, Ohio Constitution,
any payments or advances required to be made by the City pursuant to this Section 2 shall be
payable solely from the City’s nontax revenues and on a subordinated basis to the payment of debt
service charges as may hereafter be payable on securities of the City which are payable from the
City’s nontax revenues. Further, since Ohio law limits the City to appropriating monies for such
expenditures only on an annual basis, the obligation of the City to make payments pursuant to this
Section 2 shall be subject to annual appropriations by the City Council and certification by the
Director of Finance of the City as to the availability of such nontax revenues. For purpose of this
Agreement, “nontax revenues” shall mean, all moneys of the City which are not moneys raised by
taxation, to the extent available for such purposes, including, but not limited to the following: (i)
grants from the United States of America and the State, (ii) payments in lieu of taxes now or
hereafter authorized to be used for the purposes by State statute, (iii) fines and forfeitures which
are deposited in the City’s General Fund, (iv) fees deposited in the City’s General Fund from
properly imposed licenses and permits, (v) investment earnings on the City’s General Fund and
which are credited to the City’s General Fund, (vi) investment earnings of other funds of the City
that are credited to the City’s General Fund, (vii) proceeds from the sale of assets which are
SPB #010-9342-5910v5: 03-31-2022 - 6 -
deposited in the City’s General Fund, (viii) rental income which is deposited in the City’s General
Fund and (ix) gifts and donations.
(f) City Land. From Effective Date through December 31, 2027, the City shall make
available the approximately 1.5 acres of property owned by the City and located at 4045 Bright
Road (the SE corner of Emerald Parkway and Bright Road) PID: 273-008616 to the Company at
a cost of $0, contingent upon the commencement of construction of a future phase medical office
building located along Bright Road and incorporating PID: 273-008616 within the Development
Plan. The City and the Company would execute a Real Estate Purchase Agreement at that time.
After 2027, this site may be available for sale to the Company for the appraised value at that time.
In this Section 2(f) references to the Company shall also include any Affiliated Entity or any
successors of the Company or any successors of an Affiliated Entity.
Section 3. Miscellaneous.
(a) Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent
of all non-assigning Parties, provided, however, the Company may assign its interest in this
Agreement to (i) any Affiliated Entity, (ii) any successors of the Company, or (iii) any successors
of an Affiliated Entity (individually, a “Permitted Assignee” and collectively, the “Permitted
Assignees”), all without the prior consent of the City. After the effective date of such assignment,
each Permitted Assignee shall have all applicable rights and benefits of the Company under this
Agreement. Any other assignment by the Company of the Company’s interest under this Agreement
shall require the prior written consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
(b) Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any
Permitted Assignee.
(c) Captions. The captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and
in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provisions or sections of this Agreement.
(d) Day for Performance. Wherever herein there is a day or time period established for
performance and such day or the expiration of such time period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday,
then such time for performance shall be automatically extended to the next business day.
(e) Economic Development Assistance Certification. To the knowledge of the Company,
the Company has made no false statements to the City in the process of obtaining approval of the
incentives described in this Agreement. If any representative of the Company has knowingly made a
false statement to the City to obtain the incentives described in this Agreement, the Company shall
be required to immediately return all benefits received under this Agreement pursuant Ohio Revised
Code Section 9.66(C)(2) and shall be ineligible for any future economic development assistance from
the State, any State agency or a political subdivision pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section
9.66(C)(1). The Company acknowledges that any person who provides a false statement to secure
economic development assistance may be guilty of falsification, a misdemeanor of the first degree,

hereto, such defaulting Party shall, upon written notice from any non-defaulting Party, proceed
immediately to cure or remedy such default or breach, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice. In the event such default or breach is of such nature that it cannot be cured or
remedied within said thirty (30) day period, then in such event the defaulting Party shall upon written
notice from any non-defaulting Party commence its actions to cure or remedy said breach within said
thirty (30) day period, and proceed diligently thereafter to cure or remedy said breach. In case such
action is not taken or not diligently pursued, or the default or breach shall not be cured or remedied
within a reasonable time, the aggrieved non-defaulting Party may institute such proceedings as may
be necessary or desirable in its opinion to cure and remedy such default or breach.
(h) Executed Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in proving this Agreement to produce or
account for more than one of those counterparts.
(i) Extent of Covenants; No Personal Liability. All covenants, obligations and
agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be effective to the extent authorized and
permitted by applicable law. No such covenant, obligation or agreement shall be deemed to be a
covenant, obligation or agreement of any present or future member, officer, agent or employee of the
City or the Company other than in his or her official capacity, and neither the members of the
legislative body of the City nor any City or Company official executing this Agreement shall be liable
personally under this Agreement or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of
the execution thereof or by reason of the covenants, obligations or agreements of the City and the
Company contained in this Agreement.
(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. All claims,
counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between the City, its agents and employees, and
the Company, its employees and agents, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach will
be decided in a court of competent jurisdiction within Franklin County, Ohio.
(k) Legal Authority. The Parties respectively represent and covenant that each is legally
empowered to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to enter into and carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties further respectively represent and covenant
that this Agreement has, by proper action, been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Parties
SPB #010-9342-5910v5: 03-31-2022 - 8 -
and all steps necessary to be taken by the Parties have been taken to constitute this Agreement, and
the covenants and agreements of the Parties contemplated herein, as a valid and binding obligation of
the Parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(l) Limit on Liability. Notwithstanding any clause or provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall the City or the Company be liable to each other for punitive, special,
consequential, or indirect damages of any type and regardless of whether such damages are claimed
under contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or any other theory of law.
(m) Notices. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all notices,
