SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING — ORDINANCES Ordinance 19-22 Amending the Annual Appropriations Ordinance for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2022 Mr. StifFler stated that there are no changes from the first reading of this Ordinance. Staff recommended approval. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 Held There were no public comments. May 23, 2022 Page 3 of 10 Vote on the Ordinance: Mr. Keeler, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mayor Fox, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes. INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 20-22 Declaring the Improvement to Certain Parcels of Real Property in the City's Bridge Street District to be a Public Purpose and Exempt from Taxation, Providing for the Collection and Deposit of Service Payments, Specifying the Purposes for which those Service Payments may be Expended and Authorizing Compensation Payments to the Dublin City School District and the Tolles Career and Technical Center Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Stiffler stated that the ordinance removes part of the existing F Block TIF and re- establishes a new TIF on one of the parcels from the existing TIF. Previously three parcels were approved as the F Block TIF. It was a 41 TIF. A hotel and parking garage was originally planned on that TIF. The parking garage was deemed not necessary and the parcel has not developed. It was estimated that there would be $10M in valuation over the 30 years. It would provide funding for the public facilities in Bridge Park. There is no change regarding the existing Springhill Suites or the parcel on which it is built in the existing F Block. Parcel 273-013081 will become The Bailey, a senior living facility. The request is to remove the TIF from Parcel 273-013081 and apply a new TIF which will restart the 30 -year clock on this parcel to better align with the parcel's private improvements. Establishing the new TIF will increase the amount of service revenue generated by this parcel by about $2.2M. This City is estimated to receive an additional $1.1M as it flows through the waterfall. Should Council decide not to approve this TIF by July 27 of this year, $315,000 would become refundable per the G Block Bond agreements. The public improvements planned for these funds are G Block garage and associated costs. Staff recommends approval at the second hearing at the June 13 Regular City Council meeting. There were no public comments. Vice Mayor De Rosa asked if some of new the TIF funds would be pledged to G Block. Mr. Stiffler responded that it would follow the same pathway. Creating the new TIF does not change the distribution of funds, it just makes five additional years available. The length of the TIF would increase available funds by taking this action. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the TIF could be delayed again should construction begin later than anticipated. Mr. Stiffler stated that staff will not file the exemption until construction has begun. The Finance Department can make that adjustment administratively to maximize revenue. Second Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for the June 13, 2022 Council Meeting. Ordinance 21-22 Adopting the Proposed Tax Budget for Fiscal Year 2023 Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Mr. Stiffler stated that this action fulfills an annual administrative requirement under the Ohio Revised Code. There were no public comments. Second Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for the June 13, 2022 Council Meeting. Ordinance 22-22 Amending the Annual Appropriations Ordinance for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2022 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council _ _ Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Forth 6101 Held May 23, 2022 Page 4 of 10 Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Mr. StifFler stated that staff and Council have discussed the general fund balance. This ordinance operationalizes those funds based on direction previously given by Council. There were no public comments. Second Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for the June 13, 2022 Council Meeting. Ordinance 23-22 Amendment to Zoning Code Section 153.999 to Update the Penalty Code Regarding Demolition of Historic Structures Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Holt stated that this is a request and review for an update to the penalty code. Last year the Architectural Review Board (ARB) identified an opportunity to address outdated penalties associated with Chapter 153, specifically related to unauthorized demolitions and/or modifications of historic structures. Dublin City Code currently has these penalties categorized as minor misdemeanors with a fee of $100 which is not much of a deterrent. The proposed change was brought before the ARB in August of 2021 and was unanimously recommended for approval. The request was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) in October 2021 where there was a desire not to overburden Historic District and to encourage compliance. There was also a desire to discern between demolition and more minor offenses. Tonight's proposal is to make the demolition of historic structures and sites be a 41h degree misdemeanor with a $250 minimum fine and the potential for community controlled sanctions. All other violations remain as minor misdemeanors. The changes would include the removal of the $100 limit on the minor misdemeanor fine where State law allows up to $150. Included are also some minor grammatical revisions. Prior to the second reading of this ordinance, staff will add clarification about partial or total demolition. Staff evaluated nearby jurisdictions for their penalties with regards to historic structures. In Upper Arlington there is a $1,000 minimum with up to a $75,000 fine and restoration may be required. German Village 1st degree misdemeanors are at $1,000/day and/or 180 days in jail. With historic properties, there are potential additional civil fines of $25,000. New Albany's general zoning violations are at $200/day with historic district potential of up to $50,000. Dublin's property maintenance code deals in the 41h degree misdemeanor realm. Staff recommends approval at the second reading. There were no public comments. Mr. Keeler asked about a scenario wherein someone painted their house without approval. Ms. Holt stated that the first step is to make contact and let them know something has been done without ARB approval. Staff works with property owners for months if necessary to bring them into compliance. Penalties are a last resort approach. The majority of time is spent working with and educating people and looking for voluntary compliance or understanding. Mr. Keeler asked about a reference to helicopter operation in 153.999 C. Mr. Boggs responded that is existing code which this does not propose to change. He does not know the providence of that code. Mr. Keeler stated that the penalties section applies to a broad range of offenses and is not limited to those listed herein. He asked if 153.999 is the most appropriate place to address helicopter operation. Mr. Boggs stated that Item C does refer to violation of 153.094 which is another chapter in the zoning code. Other violations such as criminal violations have their own separate penalties sections in the chapters of code that govern those violations. Ms. Kramb stated that the new text, in Section B, lists "sites" and "structures". She recommended adding 'building" and "object" to ensure all items are covered. She still thinks $250 is too low of a fine. It can be much more expensive to follow Code. Mr. Boggs stated that staff can address "building" and "object" at the second reading of this ordinance. The reason staff and legal made this recommendation is because a 4th degree misdemeanor provides the community controlled sanction which could be a fine RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Forth 6101 Held May 23, 2022 Page 5 of 10 or days in jail. While there are other municipalities that have civil fines up to $75,000, this is not a tried and true method. Mr. Keeler confirmed that each day during which non-compliance occurs shall constitute a different offense. He asked how that works once the City has exhausted efforts to remedy the situation. Mr. Boggs stated that it would be per day for each day for which the complaint is written. Ms. Readler stated that one of the community controls is that reconstruction could be required. Community controlled sanctions offer more of a remedy than simply a fine. Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that the $250 is a minimum. She asked if it would make sense to include language about a maximum or reconstruction. She asked how the sanctions would be decided. Ms. Readler stated that the Code must be very succinctly written. Staff goes to extreme lengths to work with people and court is the last resort. The goal is to have the ability to ask for a desired remedy. Mayor Fox stated that she likes the differentiation between demolitions. Demolition by neglect is another opportunity faced by the City. She feels it is important to communicate with residents and businesses in the historic district that these things are important. It must be made clear how to maintain homes and not cross lines. She provided an example of replacing aluminum windows with aluminum windows illustrating how maintenance items could be confusing. It is important as the conversation regarding the historic district advances, that the City ensures that residents understand what they can and cannot do in terms of maintenance. Mayor Fox asked if communication was sent regarding this Code change. Ms. Holt answered affirmatively. Second Reading/Public Hearing is scheduled for the June 13, 2022 Council Meeting. INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING/VOTE — RESOLUTIONS Resolution 23-22 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Franklin County Commissioners for the Administration of wireless 9-1-1 Government Assistance Funds Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution. Mr. Somerville stated that this resolution would authorize the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Franklin County Commissioners. Wireless 9- 1-1 Government Assistance Funds are collected at a rate of $.25 per month on every wireless phone in the state. Funds are meant to come back to public safety answering points. The amount received by the City of Dublin is $130,000 this year on a budget set by 9-1-1 planning committee. This resolution sets up a conduit to allow acceptance of those funds. They can be used to approve 9-1-1 equipment and supplement staffing costs. Staff recommended approval. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Mayor Fox, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes.

Mr. Hammersmith stated that the 2022 Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Maintenance Programs provide for on-call task order maintenance to the sanitary sewer and stormwater management systems. In the past these two programs were bid separately. In 2021, the City did not receive any bids for the sanitary sewer RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 Held May 23, 2022 Page 6 of 10 maintenance program. In an effort to create interest in the programs and increase contract value, these programs have been combined for 2022. Staff conducted a competitive bid process for the programs and on May 4, one bid was received. These programs are funded annually in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) in the amount of $250,000 for the Annual Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Program and $100,000 for the Annual Stormwater Maintenance Program. Work will commence this year with contract execution and will continue through the end of the year. It would be a one-year contract with an optional renewal period for one additional year. Staff recommended approval of the resolution accepting the lowest and best bid of Danbert, Inc. in the amount of $2,400 per unit hour. There were no public comments. In response to a question from Ms. Amorose Groomes, Mr. Hammersmith explained that the contractor provides a preliminary estimate for any task based on unit costs that is reviewed by staff. Mayor Fox noted the price increase over the past couple of years. She asked how staff could solicit more bids. Mr. Hammersmith stated that trying to find a contractor that is willing to do the work has been a struggle with these two programs and that is reflected in the cost. In many cases, this is work that the City cannot do themselves. Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Alutto, yes; Mayor Fox, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes. Resolution 25-22 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the 2022 Street Maintenance Program — Phase 1 Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution. Mr. Gable stated staff conducted a competitive bid process for the Street Maintenance Program for 2022 Phase 1 and on May 411, four bids were received and publicly opened by engineering staff. This project is funded from the 2022-2026 CIP in the amount of $6.2 million. This is the first of two street program bid resolutions before Council. The bid total of both projects is at budget. Construction of both projects expected to commence in June and July and be complete in October 2022. Staff recommended approval of the resolution accepting the lowest and best bid of Strawser Paving Company, Inc. in the amount of $2,762,277. There were no public comments. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if these estimates were based on previous years' costs and whether they were adjusted for inflation. Mr. Gable responded that it was a combination of last years' costs as well as the inflation factors that the City of Columbus and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) have been seeing. The average rate increase was between 8-10%. ODOT is revising their estimates every two to three months. Ms. Amorose Groomes noted that it is interesting to see where inflation is reflected. Vote on the Resolution: Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Mayor Fox, yes. Resolution 26-22 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the 2022 Street Maintenance Program — Phase 2 Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution.

OTHER BUSINESS • Park Entry Signs Mr. Earman provided an overview of staff's request regarding park entry signs. At their March 21 meeting, City Council asked staff to consider updating park entry signs. Staff collected photos and provided cost estimates to replace existing signs. Each park sign may or may not have a consistent standard throughout the park system. There are several different mounting systems (2 post base, wood base, stone base, etc.). There is also a difference in font sizes and whether letters are all uppercase or sentence case. There is a variance in whether the address of the park is listed. There is a general branding shift from one sign to the next as branding standards have changed. To replace all signs as they are today (57 signs) it would cost $931,000. To include all parks, which would require 80 additional signs, replacement/addition costs would be $1,241,088. Staff is recommending referral of this topic to the Community Development Committee. There were no public comments. Mayor Fox shared examples of interesting park signage. In response to a question from Mr. Reiner, Mr. Earman stated that Dublin has 64 total parks and 57 signs. Some parks have multiple signs creating the needs for 23 additional signs in order to have signs at all parks. Mr. Reiner stated that he thinks this is an important thing to do. He stated that there are questions about whether a park belongs to the community, a homeowners' association or the City of Dublin. Vice Mayor De Rosa asked about the cost. Mr. Earman stated that some signs are larger than others but most have substantial foundations. They are not just planted with concrete. Also the signs are expensive products because they are custom-made. Mayor Fox asked if the signs could be made in-house. Mr. Earman stated that the City is limited with the sign shop on what they can produce. They are limited to metal signs in the style of our street signs. Ms. Alutto moved to refer the park entry signs topic to the Community Development Committee for further discussion. Ms. Amorose Groomes seconded. Vote on the motion: Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Fox, yes.

Liaison Reports o Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that the Mid -Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPQ met the week prior to last and the summary was provided to Council. Last week there was an opportunity to meet with representatives from Amtrak. On Thursday afternoon, she went to East Lansing, Michigan and met with Amtrak executives, the Lt. Governor, and some state legislators. They discussed funding and took the Amtrak train to Chicago. There were several meetings on the train on the way to Chicago. The train reached speeds of 110mph. It was a fantastic experience. The partnership and MORK released a joint statement in support of rail in the State of Ohio. Governor DeWine also made a statement supportive the consideration of rail for Ohio. When meeting with Amtrak representatives, they articulated that this is an opportunity that is not likely to present itself again in our lifetimes due to available federal funding. If the State of Ohio does not actively seek these funds, they will be spent; they will just be divided up with one less state. This trip was at the invitation and expense of MORK. There may be another trip with the partnership that will likely go to Buffalo, New York.
