INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING/VOTE — RESOLUTIONS Resolution 86-23 Adopting the 2023/2024 Franklin County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution. Chief Paez stated that the Federal Emergency Management Agency requires local communities to adopt a natural hazards mitigation plan (HMP) as a condition of eligibility to receive federal funds available through their agency. Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security (FCEM&HS) initially adopted a countywide HMP in 2007, with subsequent updates in 2018. Over the past year, FCEM&HS have diligently worked on an update for 2023/2024. Member communities now need to adopt the new plan. The 2023/2024 Franklin County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update identifies mitigation goals and actions to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property in Franklin County and its jurisdictions from the impacts of future hazards and disasters. The County's current plan expires on December 26, 2023. FEMA guidelines state that jurisdictions can adopt the HMP before it receives 'approved pending adoption’ status. It is recommended that the HMP be formally adopted before the plan expires, as adopting the plan before it expires will ensure eligibility to apply for and receive FEMA pre- and post-disaster funding. The City is not required to take any actions or allocate RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutee.of Dublin City Council Meeting GOVERNMENT FORMS & SUPPLIES 844-224-3338 FORM NO. 10148 December 1T, 2023 Page 5 ofg9 Held 20 funds toward any projects identified in the plan. However, adopting the plan ensures the City's eligibility to receive federal mitigation funds as they become available. Chief Paez thanked Tom Hirschy for his work on this plan update. There were no public comments. Vote on the Resolution: Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mayor Fox, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes.

Mr. Hendershot stated that staff identified the Ohio Broadband, Utilities, and Infrastructure for Local Development Success Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Grant Program (Program), administered through the Ohio Department of Development in partnership with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, as a potential funding source for the City’s water and wastewater (sanitary sewer) projects within the Capital Improvements Program (CIP).

On July 21, 2023, the City of Dublin was selected by the Ohio Department of Development to receive $340,000 in grant funding for the Waterline Replacement — Phase VII Project. The Program’s initiative aligns with the purpose of the Project, which is to provide a better level of water service to the impacted areas with increased pressures and reduction in water outages through the replacement of aging 2-inch water lines with 6-inch water lines. Reliability of the water distribution system is a key component of customer welfare and satisfaction. Construction activities for the Project are expected to commence summer 2024 and be completed by fall 2024. The Ohio Department of Development has announced that a new round of grant funding has been made available to Ohio communities through a grant funding application and selection process.

Resolution 90-23 Acceptance of amendments to the Historic Design Guidelines applicable to Historic Dublin and outlying historic properties on Appendix G (Case 23- 097ADMC) Ms. Alutto introduced the Resolution. Ms. Rauch stated that this Resolution is a request for acceptance of amendments to the Historic Design Guidelines to address City Council's direction regarding preservation within the District, specifically focusing on the contributing/non- contributing terminology and how the demolition criteria applies based on that terminology. This is a companion document to the Code Amendment that was just passed by Council earlier (Ordinance 65-23). Staff conducted research of properties within the District to determine their preservation status and how the demolition criteria could be applied, which resulted in an amendment to the Historic District Zoning Code requirements and Design Guidelines. Staff recommended the following amendments to the Code and Guidelines: e The replacement language for the contributing/non-contributing nomenclature to be “landmark” and “background”, respectively; e The reduction of the number of landmark buildings in the Historic District; e More structures eligible for lesser demolition criteria; e The addition of The Architectural Review Board (ARB) requested site restoration language; and e The change in the terminology of building/structure/property to resource as appropriate. Ms. Rauch reviewed the public input sessions and discussions held regarding these proposed modifications. ARB and Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) have both reviewed and recommended approval to City Council. There were no public comments. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting GOVERNMENT FORMS & SUPPLIES 844-224-3338 FORM NO. 10148 December 171, 2023 Page 7 of 9 Held 20 Mayor Fox was supportive of the effort and the preservation of landmark buildings. She shared her support for designating background buildings as part of this work. She also shared her support for ARB review and stated that she believed Historic District residents agree with ARB review. She stated that when a historic district is maintained by ARB review, it actually increases property values and maintains the character of the district in the whole. It protects structures and the negative spaces, the gardens, streetscape, historic walls and historical features. She stated that her concern is with the definition in the Guidelines. She expressed concern that when changing the definition from contributing and non-contributing to landmark and background, a loophole was opened. She stated that the definition of Background in the Guidelines, is: Background buildings and cultural resources within the Historic District are those that do not add to the historic associations, historic architectural qualities or the architectural value of the area as expressed in the Historic and Cultural Assessment. She stated that this definition meets the criteria for demolition. The definition is the criteria. An applicant could come forward and say they meet the criteria because of the definition and offer no other criteria. She would like to see verbiage added that would give ARB some other criteria or some other definition to lean on in case there is something about a particular background building worth saving. She believes the objective was to have criteria that should have to be proven. Mr. Keeler stated that he agrees with the statement regarding a historic district maintained by ARB review actually increasing property values. The result is a better product and better district, which benefits every property. He is supportive of the language as it is written because the purpose was to allow more latitude in demolishing properties that are note contributing. He also added that Council has shown that if an Ordinance is not working as intended, we are willing to revisit it. Ms. Kramb stated that she is supportive of approving the resolution as submitted by staff. She added that these are minor word swaps and there are no other changes from the Guidelines that have been in use for the last couple of years. Vote on the Resolution: Mayor Fox, no; Mr. Keeler, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Alutto, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes. STAFF COMMENTS Ms. O'Callaghan shared the following updates: e Each December, the Wreaths Across America initiative helps place wreaths on the graves of veterans. Last year, over 2 million wreaths were placed in more than 2,500 locations. For the past few years, Dublin’s former Grand Leprechauns have taken the lead to secure sponsorships, assist with the wreath placement in all of the Dublin cemeteries, and organize a public ceremony. This year’s ceremony will be at the Dublin Cemetery Saturday, December 16 at 10:30 a.m. The City provides event assistance and Councilmember John Reiner will be speaking. Community members are invited to help place the wreaths on the veterans’ graves immediately following the ceremony. e With this being the last City Council Meeting of 2023, she thanked Council and staff for a fantastic year. Together many successes were achieved, we have advanced Council's visionary goals, implemented innovative new initiatives, and strategically planned for our future, all while continuing to provide world-class city services.
