The City of Dublin’s initial accreditation was in 2003. There are 205 APWA accredited agencies throughout the United States and Canada. Some are departments housed within 165 separate entities. The City of Dublin Department of Public Works is one of those 165. Accreditation is a mark of professionalism indicating the public works agency has made a commitment to continuous improvement in the delivery of public works operations and services in the community it serves. Accreditation recognizes an agency’s policies, procedures, and practices, which have been evaluated against nationally recognized management practices and determined to be appropriate for that specific agency. A team of evaluators made up of experienced public works professionals reviewed 153 practices from Dublin Department of Public Works. The Department received 100% compliance. Evaluators recognized two model practices that will be shared across North America — human resource management and employee recognition (AO 226) and traffic calming. On behalf of APWA Region V, Mr. Hummel presented a plaque to recognize this achievement. He offered congratulations to Accreditation Managers Emily Goliver and Bob Taylor. Ms. Goliver, Mr. Taylor, Ms. Willis, Mr. Hammersmith, and Mr. Darling came forward to accept the plaque. Mayor Amorose Groomes thanked APWA for recognizing the outstanding City team.

INTRODUCTION /FIRST READING — ORDINANCES Ordinance 05-24 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 Held RECORD OF LP ROGEERINGS Minutes of Meeting BARRETT BROTHERS - DAYTON, OHIO Form 6101 March 25, 2024 Page 4 of 9 Held Amending Section 91.12 “Outdoor Feeding Prohibited” of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Dublin Vice Mayor Alutto introduced the Ordinance. Ms. Goliver stated that at the November 27, 2023 City Council meeting, Council approved Ordinance 47-23 prohibiting the feeding of wild animals and animals running at large within the City. Upon further review, it was determined that a narrow conflict exists between the amended Code language and Section 91.06 of the City’s Code. Section 91.06 defines a cat as a companion animal regardless of where it is kept, and companion animals are protected by City Code. To rectify this, staff recommends amending Section 91.12 to remove reference to feral cats and exclude companion animals from the definition of a wild animal. City staff remains available to help if residents encounter a feral or community cat. Through relationships with local shelters and veterinarians, we can provide cats with the best care possible and help them find a loving home. Staff recommends approval at the second reading. Staff will continue to refrain from enforcing the conflicting part of the Code. There were no public comments. Second reading/public hearing is scheduled for April 22, 2024. INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING/VOTE — RESOLUTIONS Resolution 11-24 Adopting the Solid Waste Management Plan for the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio Vice Mayor Alutto introduced the Resolution. Mr. Darling stated that the draft plan update was provided electronically for review and is required by Ohio Revised Code to be voted upon by every municipal corporation within the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio’s (SWACO’s) jurisdiction. The 357-page plan update is very comprehensive and covers a 15-year period (2024-2038). The Plan describes the waste reduction and diversion programming efforts that will be undertaken and demonstrates that these programs are adequate to achieve the plan’s goals. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Darling introduced Andrew Booker, Programs Manager, SWACO. Mr. Booker provided an overview of the organization and program. He noted that SWACO has done great programs in partnership with the City of Dublin. SWACO is a regional governmental entity. In 1988, legislation was created at the state level requiring all counties to be part of a solid waste district. SWACO was formed pursuant to that legislation. There are 52 districts throughout the state of Ohio. The Solid Waste Management Plan is one of the fundamental requirements for every solid waste district. It is required to be updated every 5 years. The Plan identifies and provides a description and funding for the programs SWACO will implement to reduce requirements on the landfill. The plan also provides authority for SWACO to pass rules. The approval process is lengthy and complicated including review/approval by multiple entities. Mr. Booker shared a graphic indicating what goes into the landfill. He also shared a comprehensive list of current programs and services including community programs, grant programs, school programs, food waste initiatives, landfill tours etc. Mr. Booker issued an open invitation to City Council to tour the landfill. He reviewed areas of planned program growth including school recycling and grants. Mr. Booker explained SWACO’s budget. Programs and services are funded by a $5.00/ton “Generation Fee” that was established in 2005 and is collected at the transfer facilities and landfill. Mr. Booker explained the origination of the $1 tipping fee. He stated that no increase in fees is associated with the implementation of the Plan. Mr. Booker closed by requesting the City of Dublin pass the resolution approving the Solid Waste Management Plan. There were no public comments. Mayor Amorose Groomes expressed appreciation for the work SWACO does.

Mr. Keeler clarified that he was addressing trees that could be maturing at the same time. Ms. O'Callaghan stated that over the years, street trees have been chosen with deeper growing roots to prevent damage to sidewalks. Mayor Amorose Groomes stated that the size of the tree lawn has been increased to give trees room to grow without being in conflict.

The improvements will widen Bright Road from two lanes to five lanes, provide a dedicated right turn lane from Bright Road to Sawmill Road and establish a second northbound left turn lane from Sawmill to Bright. The infrastructure agreement notes that the City will make a good faith effort to have a westbound left turn lane from Bright Road into the Mount Carmel Health Systems site prior to the public opening of the hospital. The Emerald Parkway and Mt. Carmel roundabout project will provide access for the main entrance of the hospital. This portion is required to be completed with the public opening of the hospital, which is expected in the second quarter of 2025. After completion of the roundabout, Mount Carmel will reimburse the City $300,000. To best position the City and allow maximum flexibility to award both projects together or one individually, the documents required contractors to submit costs together as a base bid and individually as alternates. The 2024-2028 Capital Improvements Program includes $7.5 Million for construction of the projects. On March 12, 2024, five bids were received and publicly opened. Strawser Paving Company submitted the lowest and best bid of $7,679,566.95. This is 8.9% above the engineer's estimate. Items that exceed the estimate include excavation along with traffic signal poles and various drainage items that have experienced rising prices.

Mr. Hammersmith shared details of the project. The improvement scope includes the replacement of the existing deteriorated tile system along Cosgray Road with a fully functioning storm sewer system. The scope also includes restoring and improving approximately 4,200 feet of Faust Ditch. The current estimated project cost is $2,137,300. In September 2022, working cooperatively with the City of Dublin and Washington Township, the Franklin County Engineer’s Office prepared and submitted an Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) grant. They were awarded the grant of $1,066,000 and a loan of $360,000. As a result of the award, an intergovernmental agreement between Franklin County Engineer, Washington Township and the City of Dublin is necessary. Washington Township Board of Trustees has approved a resolution authorizing the Township to enter into the Agreement with a cash contribution not to exceed $15,000. The Franklin County Engineer’s Office will repay the $360,000 loan resulting in their contribution of $533,350. The OPWC grant results in the Dublin contribution being $522,950. 83% of the improvement is located in Dublin’s jurisdiction while Dublin’s portion represents 25% of costs. Although not specifically budgeted in the Capital Improvement Fund, funds are available in 2024 from the unencumbered, unallocated fund balance of the Capital Improvement Tax Fund. Work is expected to commence in March 2024 and be completed by June 1, 2025. Staff recommends approval. There were no public comments.

OTHER BUSINESS e Annual Update from Revi Ventures on High-tech Entrepreneurial Services Mr. Gracia stated that since 2007, the City of Dublin has supported the work of Rev1 Ventures. In February of 2023, a Resolution was approved to authorize a three-year agreement with Revi Ventures. He introduced Kristy Campbell, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Rev1. Ms. Campbell thanked Council for their ongoing support of Rev1’s mission to help entrepreneurs build great businesses in the region and the City of Dublin. This mission is an important part of the broader region’s economic development strategy led by One Columbus and is built into the region’s comprehensive economic development strategy led by MORPC. She provided an explanation of Rev1 and shared some of their impact. Rev1 is a venture development studio that focuses on identifying tech-enabled businesses that can be high growth in the region. Since their work began in 2013, their clients have had more than a $5 billion impact on the State of Ohio. In the Columbus region alone, it has been over $3 billion. They have funded 22 new companies through approximately $7 million in direct funding. The combination of dedicated services and guidance for entrepreneurs enables companies to be most successful during this initial risky stage. The average 5-year survival rate of tech-based businesses is about 30%. Investment at this stage is an important growth strategy. Ms. Campbell shared some examples of programs Rev1 offers for entrepreneurs. Revi placed 125 interns last year with 47 student interns placed in Dublin. Dublin has been a great beneficiary of this program. Of the $3.4 million that Dublin has invested, the companies supported in Dublin alone have generated over $154 million in revenue and attracted over $261 million in investments. For every dollar that the City provides to Revi, over $77 goes back to these companies. She shared two examples of Dublin Clients: DASI Simulations and Healthy Roster. Ms. Campbell stated that looking ahead, Revi expects to launch new pre-seed and angel funds this year. They will continue to advocate for future innovation space and labs. They will also continue working through the Ohio Department of Development Third Frontier program. Ms. De Rosa thanked Ms. Campbell and asked about the size of the Revi Capital fund. Ms. Campbell stated that they operate a non-profit — Revi Ventures, and they have a series of for-profit seed funds that roll up to the non-profit. The majority of the team is employed by the non-profit. The seed funds are about $180 million in capital. The largest seed fund was launched in 2023, which is a $30 million seed fund focused on life sciences. The limited partners in that are Rev1, Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. e America 250-OH Community Ms. Blake explained that July 4, 2026 will be the United States of America’s 250" anniversary. In preparation for this celebration, the America 250-OH Commission created by the 135"" Ohio General Assembly is a multi-year commemoration where Ohioans from all 88 counties will celebrate Ohio’s unique role in our nation’s story. America 250-OH has the goal of having at least 250 communities that will be designated America 250-OH Communities. They are inviting all levels of communities to apply. Ms. Blake stated that the two steps required to become an America 250-OH Community are passing a resolution and creating a committee with at least one external member that will plan local activities and act as a liaison to the American 250 Commission team. Ms. Blake shared some of the benefits to America 250-OH Communities, including signage, logo on the official website, event promotion, digital toolkits, access to online community platforms, and potential grant funding. She provided several opportunities for how Dublin could celebrate such as, the 2026 Independence Day parade theme, a possible new parade float, Abbey Theater performances, historical-themed camps, banners in Historic Dublin and possibly planting 250 trees on Arbor Day.
