SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING — ORDINANCES
Ordinance 56-22
Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and
Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System and Establishing a
Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for the City of Dublin Services
Ms. Murray referred to a memo that was provided to Council providing additional
information about the event fees related to Ordinance 56-22. No changes have been
made to the Ordinance since the first reading. Staff recommended approval.
There were no public comments.
Vice Mayor De Rosa thanked staff for the additional information on the event fees.
She was particularly interested in the Tier I fee increase from $50 to $200 in a few
years. She asked, of the 28 Tier I events, how many of them were recurring events.
Ms. LeRoy stated that about 3/4 of the events are recurring.
Vice Mayor De Rosa stated that she is troubled about going up that dramatically in a
short time. She is concerned about discouraging people from doing events due to the
fees. She wants to encourage those events. She recommended Council consider
going up to $100 next year and making it more of a gradual increase.
Ms. Kramb asked how many events are paying the full fee versus having some paid by
grant money. Ms. LeRoy stated that very few of the Tier I events are covered under
the Hotel/Motel funding. The Tier II events are the events that receive the
Hotel/Motel tax funding.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that there are no changes proposed for 2023. She asked
if the fee could be changed fee to $100 in 2023 and then $150 in 2024, etc.

Ms. LeRoy stated that it was possible. Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she would be
supportive of inching toward that number rather than leaping to it. Ms. Alutto agreed.
Mayor Fox stated that she agreed with Vice Mayor De Rosa's comments that these
events; are to be encouraged because it adds to the vitality and quality of life. Tier I
events; are usually small, but she would advocate leaving it as low as possible.
Vice Mlayor De Rosa stated that she was fine with $100.
Ms. Alutto stated that a graduated approach makes sense because these fees and
costs will be evaluated again in a few years.
Ms. Amorose Groomes moved to amend the Tier I event fee to increase by 50% in
2023 and 25% every year thereafter.
Ms. Alutto seconded.

November 7, 2022 Page 4 of 9
Mr. Stiffler stated that the investment policy was reviewed by the Finance Committee
on three occasions. The purpose of those reviews was to update the language and
any details of the investment mix the City may seek. The main modifications involve
removing the Investment Advisory Committee and inserting the Finance Committee to
be the reviewing body for the investment portfolio. The Finance Committee would
meet annually to review investment policy compliance, reporting compliance, internal
control compliance, review the sale of any security prior to the maturity date, liquidity
concerns, investment inventory, transactions for the period, and realized incomes.
This would allow a better understanding of Council's objectives and the Investment
Advisor's performance as well as a strategy moving forward each calendar year. He
stated that this policy will be revisited after we implement this new process to ensure
that goals are being met.
Mr. Keeler clarified that even though the Investment Advisory Committee is being
removed, the City will still be seeking a third party Investment Advisor. Mr. Stiffler
responded affirmatively. He would like to contract with an Investment Advisor that is
not in charge of the portfolio to advise and discuss the active management of the
portfolio with the Finance Committee. Ms. Alutto agreed.
There were no public comments.
Second reading/public hearing is scheduled for the November 14, 2022 Council
meeting.
Ordinance 64-22
Amending Chapter 51 Establishing User Fees and Capacity Charges for the
Sanitary Sewer
Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance.
Mr. Stiffler stated that staff is recommending a fee increase in 2023 of 8%, which
amounts to a little over a dollar per month. Years 2024 and 2025 are estimated to be
a 6% increase and years 2026 and 2027, a 5% increase. As these numbers are known
versus. estimated, staff will continue to adjust as necessary in the CIP. Mr. Stiffler
stated that the sewer extensions are fully funded by income tax; therefore, there is no
positive or negative impact on the Sewer Fund. Sewer rates are largely impacted by
the increase in debt service expenditures.
Mr. Stuffier stated that he is projecting little to no increase in the water fee. He stated
he is projecting a 0% increase in 2023 and a 1% in years 2024-2027. He stated that if
interest rates continue to go up he estimates that the percentage will be more toward
zero. Water extensions are fully funded by income tax; therefore, there is no positive
or negative impact on the Water Fund. Water rates are impacted by limited revenue
generation; very limited cash funded projects in the next five years; utilizing debt to
fund waterline replacement instead of cash to better match revenues and
expenditures. A stable fund balance is projected for the next five years.
There were no public comments.
Ms. Arnorose Groomes asked if it would make sense to increase these rates a little now
so a larger increase may not be needed down the road. She referred to the waterline
project bid that was on Council's agenda (Resolution 52-22) and asked if it makes
sense to inch the rates up if the budgeted amount falls short to get the work done.
Mr. Stiffler stated it is certainly worthy of discussion. Referring to the waterline work,
he stated that the funding for this project is part of last year's debt issuance. He
stated that given the numbers staff has received for waterline work, it is unlikely that
the work can be completed with the funding source. The Water Fund has a very low
annual revenue. He offered to work up additional information and options on what
rate increases might look like. ,
Vice Mayor De Rosa asked about last year's chart and the projected percentages. Mr.
Stiffler stated that last year the projected percentages were 4% for each year. He
stated that these numbers reflect more as actuals. This reflects a better estimate of

what is actually the path forward. Vice Mayor De Rosa was appreciative of the
information.
Second reading/public hearing is scheduled for the November 14, 2022 Council
meeting.
Ordinance 65-22
Amending Various Sections of Ordinance 15-17 (Compensation Plan for Non -
Union Personnel)
Ms. Alutto introduced the Ordinance.
Ms. Miglietti stated that this Ordinance is a companion Ordinance to the Operating
Budget. Many of the amendments reflect clarifying language to mirror current
practices. Ms. Miglietti highlighted the following changes:
• Wage and salary structure: updating the list of job classifications consistent
with what is proposed in the operating budget; and per the consultant
recommendations, updating the pay grade table after an extensive biennial
review of market pay data;
• Instant Bonus Program increased to $500 from $250;
• Vacation Leave: increasing vacation leave from 40 to 80 hours for employees
with less than 1 year of public service; adding federal government to public
service credit and removing the waiting period to use vacation;
• Tuition Reimbursement is proposed to increase from $3,000 to $5,000 per
calendar year;
• Modifying the overtime to be consistent with the FLSA;
• Increasing shift differential; and
• Gender -neutral language updates.
There were no public comments.
Vice Mayor De Rosa sought clarification regarding vacation accruals. Ms. Miglietti
clarified that if an employee comes to Dublin with prior public service, they will accrue
vacation at a different rate than an employee with no prior public service. Any
employee coming to the City of Dublin would now have two weeks.
Ms. Kramb confirmed that they would have to accrue the vacation before they can use
it throughout the year. Ms. Miglietti responded affirmatively.
Ms. Kramb asked why a specific number is listed under the Instant Bonus section. Ms.
Miglietti stated that it provides internal direction to staff on past practice.
Mayor Fox expressed gratitude for the additional information that was provided.
Second reading/public hearing is scheduled for the November 14, 2022 Council
meeting.
INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING/VOTE — RESOLUTIONS

Staff recommended proceeding with the base bid at this time and Alternate #1 and 4
will move to the next phase of the project.
There were no public comments.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that because these bids came in under the estimates, in
the currently inflationary environment that we are experiencing, does it make sense to
allocate the additional funding for the two alternate bids and get the work done now?
The bids are very favorable, and prices are not likely to go down. Mr. Stanford stated
that the bids were split up purposefully to provide for flexibility and stay within budget.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she was asking Council whether they would be
interested in doing it now rather than waiting for the prices to go up. Ms. Alutto
agreed with Ms. Amorose Groomes that it makes sense to front load some of this
work. Mr. Stiffler explained that if Council were to be interested in funding the
alternate bids, he had some options. The City issued roughly $2.8 million in water -
backed debt earlier this year. Some of the projects came in about $130,000 over
budget so we already have $130,000 of additional debt that will need to be issued. If
we were to proceed with the alternate bids, we would need to issue an additional
$400,000 in debt next year. We have bond proceeds that we could use to fund that
this year or we could use the Water Fund. So ultimately, there are funding sources to
do the alternate bids work.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that she wanted to have the discussion about capitalizing
on these favorable bids, but she stated she is not suggested over -spending or issuing a
large amount of debt. Mr. Stiffler stated that he agreed we are in an inflationary
environment for constructions costs that is not likely to stop soon.
Ms. O'Callaghan asked Mr. Stanford if he was comfortable with the numbers for the
alternate bids. He responded affirmatively.
Ms. Amorose Groomes moved to amend Resolution 52-22, Section 1, to include the
alternate bids with the base bid for a total amount of $922,910.
Ms. Alutto seconded.
Vote on the motion: Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mayor Fox, yes; Ms.
Alutto,, yes; Vice Mayor De Rosa, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes;
Vote on the Resolution: Ms. Alutto, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes;

Resolution 53-22
Intent to Appropriate Franklin County Parcel 273-009086-00 from Vivo
Living Dublin LLC, for the Public Purpose of Constructing a Bridge Crossing
over ][-270 Which Shall be Open to the Public Without Charge
Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution.
Ms. O'Callaghan stated that the Tuller Road to Emerald Parkway over I-270 Crossing
project was first identified and included as a recommendation for further development
during the Sawmill Road Corridor Study, completed in June 2019. This project will
improve safety for all roadway users, provide better mobility for all modes of travel,
ease traffic on Sawmill Road, extend the life of the I-270/Sawmill Road interchange,
and expand the roadway network to improve connectivity and access north and south
of the existing I-270 interchange. The Bridge Alternatives and Location Study for this
project, completed in May 2022, investigated the feasibility of different crossing
locations, and concluded the best location for a new 270 crossing returns Village
Parkway to its previous alignment and extends north to Emerald Parkway. At this
point in the project, it is necessary to begin the acquisition process. The property
located at 4130 Tuller Road has been identified as a key parcel for the recommended
bridge alignment in the Bridge Alternatives and Location Study. The City is hopeful
that an amicable agreement can be reached with the property owner, but this
Resolution does begin the eminent domain process if negotiations with the property
owner are unsuccessful. Staff recommended approval.

She shared that she has received many thank yous from residents who have received
an unexpected refund of sewer connection fees, so she wanted to pass along their
gratitude. She has also received positive comments regarding the new historical
marker on the house on Shier Rings Road.
Mr. Keeler stated that at the last Finance Committee meeting, a discussion was held
regarding having an equity exposure to the portfolio. The Ohio Revised Code does not
allow that. Mr. Keeler explained that it is a $200 million dollar portfolio that earns 1%-
2% while inflation climbs. A large portion of the portfolio has not been touched in
decades. He wanted to see if Council would entertain his bringing the idea forward to
lobby the statehouse to allow municipalities to have equities in their portfolio. It would
provide the opportunity to do more of what we want to do and there is a fiduciary
responsibility to allow the portfolio to keep up with inflation. Mr. Keeler will bring the
one -pager forward as Council agreed was the process in bringing ideas forward. He
would like to explore the option. Ms. Alutto is very supportive of bringing this idea
forward. She agrees it is a long game, but it is worth thinking it through. Council
consensus was agreement for Mr. Keeler to bring the one -pager forward for additional
consideration and discussion.
He stated that the ICF Global Summit was an impressive experience to see so many
resilient, connected, innovative cities. He stated this is a great motivator.
He concluded by reminding everyone to vote on Election Day (November 8).
Mr. Reiner stated that he agreed with Mr. Keeler's idea. He suggested marking the
tennis courts for pickle ball as it has gained popularity among residents. He stated
that residents are asking that the courts be painted accordingly. He provided an
announcement for Dublin Arts Council of an artist visiting. Masayuki Miyajima will be
conducting a ceramics workshop on November 12 from 11:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m. He
also encouraged everyone to come to the Veterans Day Ceremony.
Ms. Alutto met with a Boy Scouts Troop at Eli Pinney this week. She found their
questions and comments to be very insightful. She commended staff on the leaf
collection program. The ICF Dinner was very nice and she congratulated Mr. McDaniel
on his award. The Evening of Gratitude was a very nice event. Earlier this evening,
the Community Improvement Corporation met and discussed the Fagade Improvement
Program. Ms. O'Callaghan will be following up with more information.
Ms. Amorose Groomes stated that Ohio Rail Project is officially on the federal docket,
which means it is among the projects for consideration by the Federal Government to
make investment funds available for rail in Ohio. She will be going to the National
League of Cities conference in Kansas City and will be participating in the rail
roundtable next week. She echoed the comments on the Evening of Gratitude and

MORPC's Rural County Day.
Vice Mayor De Rosa added that she wanted to thank everyone who has served in the
Armed Forces for their service to the country and is hopeful that they will join the
Veterans Day ceremonies.
Mayor Fox enjoyed the Evening of Gratitude. She also expressed appreciation to

Department. She shared that a COMMA meeting was held recently with Upper
