It was agreed that perhaps a larger meeting place would be required. Mayor Lewis will discuss that topic with Mr. Fleming, as well as the Chamber's normal meeting arrangements, regarding meals, etc. Ms. Maurer mentioned that several meetings have been held regarding the question of city status and that there had been no input from the public at those meetings; specifically mentioning the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Thornton, in essence, agreed with Ms. Maurer. All members of Council agreed to participate in the proposed panel discussion, if asked. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. Thornton 1.

The merchants in the downtown area of Olde Dublin are concerned with the time frame as regards the Scioto Bridge rehabilitation project. C. The merchants report that 70% of their yearly business occurs between September and December. D. Their request will be that the work begin in perhaps February or March of 1986 rather than June of 1985. E. Mr. Sheldon also has been investigating the issue of whether or not the delay would have any affect on state and federal funding for the project or whether it would cause any other delays. He noted that he had been fairly assured that it would not. F. Mr. Sheldon also said that when the petition "comes in", hopefully for the April 1st meeting of Council, he will prepare a Resolution and have Council support said Resolution, provided the state assures Dublin, in writing, that the state or federal funding of the program would not be affected and would cause no further delay. G. No information has been received from Mr. Solove, who was to contac state officials with regard to what affect the request for a delay might have regarding funding, and other questions.

Form No. 1097 ~ 1I eld March 18, 1985 T 19 Page Four Mr. Close moved that Council appoint Mr. A. C. Strip to chair the committee that has already been appointed to explore the possibilities of a community center. Mrs. Headlee said that she felt that she would like to speak further with Mr. Strip before appointing him to chair the committee. Mr. Close withdrew the above motion and moved that by the next meeting Council appoint someone to chair a committee on the community center project. Ms. Maurer expressed her concerns regarding the previous committee that was formed in January of 1984, indicating that the committee "never did anything" and never reported back to Council as they had been requested to do. She said that she felt that the Parks and Recreation recommenda- tion that the Village have a land and recreation needs assessment is something that Council should do through Village Staff and the Committee, and out of that needs assessment determine what is required in the area of capital improvements. When those needs are determined then re-form a committee which has a clearly defined purpose. Mayor Lewis noted that the other committee did function, its objective was very clearly defined, and that they were going to start with a central facility in a direction that could be expanded, as appropriate. He also noted that the Chairman's failing health and subsequent resignation slowed down the work of the committee. Mayor Lewis adjourned the meeting at 8:18 P.M. Mayor - /.7 .JAa 7'!/t~ CJ ~17)..
