For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definition shall apply unless the context
clearly indicates or requires a different meaning. “Full Costs” includes the following
elements:
(1) All applicable direct costs including, but not limited to salaries, wages, overtime,
employee fringe benefits, services and supplies, maintenance and operating expenses,
contracted services, special supplies, and any other direct expense incurred.
(2) All applicable indirect costs including, but not restricted to, building maintenance and
operations, equipment maintenance and operations, communications expenses,
computer costs, printing and reproduction, vehicle expenses, insurance, debt service,
and like expenses when distributed on an accounted and documented rational pro-ration
system.
(3) Fixed asset recovery expenses, consisting of depreciation of fixed assets, divided by
the approximate life expectancy of the fixed asset.
(4) General overhead, expressed as a percentage, distributing and charging the
expenses of the City Council, including the Clerk of Council, Department of Law, City
Manager, Accounting and Auditing, Taxation, Procurement, Information Technology,
Economic Development, Human Resources and City promotional programs, and all other
staff and support service provided to the entire City organization. Overhead shall be
prorated between tax-financed services and fee-financed services on the basis of said
percentage so that each tax-financed service and fee-financed service shall
proportionately defray such overhead costs.

cost of each department head and his or her supporting expenses as identified in
subsections 1, 2, 3, and 6 of this Section.

with the actual fee established by the ordinance establishing a schedule of fees and

charges for City services.
Section 35.81 Findings and Intent
(a) It is the intent of the City Council to ascertain and recover the specified percentages
of full costs from fees, charges, and regulatory license fees levied in providing the
regulation, products, or services set forth in this Chapter.
(b) The fee and service charge revenue/cost comparison system set forth in this Chapter
provides a mechanism for ensuring that fees adopted by the City for services rendered
do not exceed the reasonable estimated cost for providing the services, unless otherwise
noted.
(c) It is the intent of the City Council to achieve a more equitable and fair mix for
financing services set forth in this Chapter in order to reduce or eliminate subsidizing
these services with general tax revenue; thereby, allowing those general tax revenues
to be used for general services, including infrastructure maintenance and replacement.
Section 35.82 Delegation of Authority and Direction to the City Manager
(a) The City Manager is hereby delegated the authority and directed to provide
documents to the City Council to implement its policy to adjust fees and charges to
recover the percentage of full costs as established in this Chapter.
(b) “Full costs” shall be as defined in Section 35.80. In adjusting fees and charges, the
City Manager shall act in an administrative and ministerial capacity and shall consider
only the standards and criteria established by this Chapter and the applicable State laws.
Section 35.83 Schedule of Fees and Service Charges
(a) The City Manager, Director of Finance, and each City department head, under the
direction of the City Manager, shall review annually the fees and service charges listed
in Appendix A- Schedule of Fees and Service Charges, and provide an adjusted fee or
charge schedule to the City Council for its consideration so as to recover the listed
percentage of full costs necessary to provide the listed regulation, product or service as
modified by the notes following the list of services. These fees, unless otherwise
specified, are for City of Dublin services and are in addition to any charges made by any
other governmental agencies.
(b) The services as listed in this Section shall be as defined in the document entitled
“Cost Study for the City of Dublin, Ohio” as produced by the City of Dublin.
(c) All fees and charges set pursuant to this Chapter and Section shall take effect as
specified in this Ordinance.
(d) The City Manager may vary the review schedule listed in the Section if, in the
judgment of the City Manager and a directly affected and requesting department head,
a gross inequity would be perpetrated by not revising a fee or charge prior to the next
rate review. Any such special rate review shall be reported to the City Council at its next
succeeding meeting where the City Council may revise the fee or charge by Ordinance.
(e) If fees are not collected at the time that the service is provided, the City has the right
to pursue collection of any of the fees listed in this Ordinance, including certification to
the County Auditor, remittance to a collection service, or any other appropriate pursuit
for payment. When additional fees need to be levied and collected for City-provided
services in the amount of $10 or less, or when a refund is due in the amount of $10 or
less, a refund or additional charge need not be made.
(f) Should it become necessary to establish a new service fee or charge during the year,
the City Manager may set the fee administratively. Any such fees set by the City Manager
shall be reported to the City Council at its next succeeding meeting where the City
Council may revise the fee or charge by Ordinance. The new service will then be included
and analyzed in the next rate review.

Re: An Ordinance 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 City of Dublin Services
Background
The proposed Ordinance revises the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for the City of Dublin.
This Ordinance, with its proposed fee schedule, is the annual update to Chapter 35 of the City's
Codified Ordinances which revises the current “City’s Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for City
of Dublin Services.” Proposed changes for 2024 are highlighted in yellow in Appendix A. Each City
Work Unit had the opportunity to review the proposed fee modifications in the Ordinance and provide
their input.
The goal of the annual review of service fees is to provide information regarding the actual cost to
provide the City’s services. With that information, City Council may choose to increase, reduce or
modify the proposed fees in consideration of the established target cost recoveries. As you will
recall, beginning with the 2014 fee schedule, a plan was established and approved to forgo the
comprehensive annual Cost of Services Study review every other year and instead apply an
inflationary measure. To determine fees for 2023, a comprehensive Cost of Services Study review
was conducted. For the 2024 cost study, an inflationary measure of 4.25% was applied to the per-
unit cost to determine fees for 2023.
A few notable fee changes are discussed below. Please see Appendix A of the Ordinance for all
proposed fee changes.
Legacy Bench Fee
This fee is proposed to increase from $2,070 to $2,500 rather than relying on the 4.25% inflationary
adjustment. The cost of the bench has increased to $1,921.80 (including shipping). This paired with
necessary concrete pad and staff installation puts total costs at approximately $2,500.
Recreation Annual and Pool Memberships
The following table displays the cost recovery for Recreation Program from 2017 to 2022:

Year
Cost
Recovery
2017 56.99%
2018 56.50%
2019 55.28%
2020 23.98%
2021 45.63%
2022 51.84%
This table shows that the Recreation Program has recovered from the impact of COVID on its
operations and subsequently its ability to recover costs.
To meet the program’s cost recovery targets, Council adopted a significant increase in annual
membership fees in 2018 after not increasing these fees in several years. It was determined at that
time that staff would bring more modest increases forward more frequently so that membership fees
would not need to have significant increases. A plan was established to bring forward a 5% increase
every other year so that membership fees would generally follow inflation. These 5% increases
occurred in Ordinance 45-20 and Ordinance 56-22. Based on this direction, there would generally
be no recommended change in annual membership or pool season passes in 2023. However, inflation
has changed significantly since 2018 and the prior plan may not provide sufficient revenue to avoid
large future increases. As discussed in the September Finance Committee meeting, staff are
recommending the 4.25% inflationary figure previously utilized for all City services be applied to
annual memberships and pool season passes in order to account for increasing costs. Recreation
and pool programming are facing increasing costs as costs associated with part-time wages and
utilities continue to increase.
Other Wages (part-time)
In order to attract additional staff in an increasingly competitive market, the City created a bonus
program last year for staff meeting certain criteria. For 2023, the bonus program was significantly
scaled back, and wage increases for part-time staff were implemented as the market for this type
of labor had significantly shifted post-COVID. Fortunately, these wage modifications were successful
in attracting sufficient staff to run full summer camps and programming. However, the success in
hiring sufficient staff has resulted in the expected increase in expenditures associated with
employment as the Recreation program is now sufficiently staffed at a higher wage.
Utility Cost Increases
In June 2023, the City entered into a 12-month contract with IGS to generate and supply the City
100% green electricity at a cost of $0.0597 per kilowatt hour (kWh). The City’s previous brown
energy contract with AEP Energy was executed in June 2019 and was a 35-month contract at a cost
of $0.03974 kWh. The 50% increase in electricity generation was caused by two factors. First, the
energy market has shifted significantly post-COVID, and utility rates have seen significant increases
since the City’s 2019 contract in both brown and green energy. Second, the City recently adopted a
Sustainability Framework and therefore when selecting an energy option a green energy option
advancing the City’s compliance with this Framework was selected. This selection is estimated to
increase the cost by approximately 5%. While electricity generation is just one component of an
electricity bill (the other being transmission) and other utilities such as water, sewer and natural gas
have not seen as significant increases as electric power generation, this increase will have an impact
on the remaining 2023 monthly utility costs and future months.

Abbey Theater Facility Rental Fees
The 2023 fee structure had a half day rate, which was more often used to determine an hourly rate
when billing groups. We have simplified the rates to be an hourly rate and changed from a 2-hr.
minimum to a 3-hr. minimum.
Items below indicate a change from previous rates and structure. There is no longer a fee proposed
for “rehearsal house lights only;” with advanced technology in the control booth, a technician is now
required during every rental.

service. The Theater Technician rate is charged at $45 per hour/per technician.
**Fees listed as part of the Standard package includes the use of the stage, theatrical lighting, one
projector, choral microphones, handheld microphones, one theater technician and use of dressing
rooms. Videography services and additional technicians charged at $45/hr.
***Fees listed as part of the Premium package include the standard package plus lapel/wireless
microphones, up to two additional projectors and two theater technicians. Videography services and
additional technicians (beyond two) will be charged at $45/hr.
The fee increase for the Standard Package represents an increase of 5% from 2023 rates. Fees listed
as part of the Premium package include lapel/wireless microphones, use of up to two additional
projectors and a total of two theater technicians. The fee difference between the Standard Package
and Premium Package is $45/hr (the cost of a second technician), and includes additional technology.
Most 2023 groups will fall under the Premium Package rate as most request or require a second
technician.

Mayor’s Court Computer Fund
This fee is proposed to increase from $8 to $10. This is the statutory maximum allowable under ORC
1901.261. This increase is due to increasing costs and declining revenues associated with the
information technology necessary to operate the Mayor’s Court.
Year Revenue Expenditures
2017 24,364 16,323

2021 17,746 10,275
2022 10,358 3,828
2023 YTD 9,164 29,648
The maintenance contract for the software was $26,048 in 2023. This contract was moved to the
information technology budget from 2019 through 2022 in an effort to consolidate expenditures
related to information technology to that Division. However, because this activity has a dedicated
funding source associated with it by the Ohio Revised Code, these expenditures are most property
accounted for in this Fund and the budget was returned in 2023.
New Fees
Several new fees have been added to the 2023 Fee Ordinance:
• Senior Veteran’s Dublin Community Recreation Center (DCRC) Admission Rate: Following the
recommendation of the Veteran’s Committee, City Council approved the addition of a Senior
Veteran’s admission rate at $5 discount from the Senior rate for the DCRC. This
recommendation was approved by Council at the June 26th City Council meeting.
• Franklin County Tobacco License Fee: There is currently a fee established in the City’s code
for tobacco products and alternative nicotine devices license administration of $150. Moving
the fee to the Fee Ordinance would then alleviate the need for duplicative mentions of such
fees and would establish a fee consistent with Franklin County and the ORC Section 5743.
• Columbus Water and Sewer Agreement Annexation Fee: The new service agreement includes
the expanded Dublin Expansion Area to align with the Revenue Sharing Area as established
by the Economic Development Agreement (EDA) and establish conditions and requirements
for the provision of water and sanitary sewer services to this expanded area. The term of the
new agreement is fifty (50) years. As part of these terms, Dublin will pay $1,000/acre to
Columbus for each acre annexed to the City of Dublin. This new fee would transfer this
potential cost burden of annexation to those parties who express a desire to annex into the
City.
• Mobile Water Refill Station: A water refill station was purchased as a sustainable hydration
option for City events as part of the 2022-2026 Capital improvements Program. This service
will provide entities access to rent this water refill situation following a daily fee schedule.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance at the second reading/public hearing. Fees would
become effective on January 1, 2024.
