Re: Ordinance No. 13-24 – Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2024 (Q2)
Summary
This Ordinance amends the annual appropriations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to provide
supplemental funding in certain budget accounts. The following sections provide descriptions of the
appropriations contained within each section of the Ordinance, and the reason for the request.
Section 1 requests an appropriation of $100,000 in the Water Construction Fund for debt funded
projects. This increase in appropriations is to support the replacement of water mains that have been
experiencing break issues in conjunction with the River Forest Roadway Improvements Project to
minimize construction costs and inconvenience to the public. These additional funds support the water
main replacement in conjunction with the Waterline Replacement Project (WT23C04). This request
additionally appropriates an advance from the Capital Improvements fund of $340,000 to the Water
Construction Fund. This advance will fund the project’s expenditures until the grant reimbursement for
these funds is received by the City.
Section 2 requests $51,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the Pool Fund.
Budgeted repair and maintenance funds were not sufficient to cover concerns staff have with the startup
of the outdoor pools and a valve failure at the Dublin Community Recreation Center (DCRC). $46,000 is
requested to have on the shelf pump replacements for all pools. The North Pool experienced spring
flooding and a failed sump pump resulted in submersion of several pool circulation pumps. Having back
up pumps on the shelf will reduce outdoor pool down time should these pumps experience mechanical
failures during the pool season. $5,000 is requested to replace a major circulation valve at the DCRC.
Section 3 requests $1,500,000 in funding for the Northern Historic Dublin Area Improvements. This
request moves the project funding from the Capital Improvements Fund funded through a transfer from
the General Fund to the Capital Improvements Construction Fund funded debt proceeds to be issued in
2024. This funding change is consistent with the appropriation changes for the Bright Road Corridor
project included in the first quarter supplemental. This change supports utilization of the General Fund
balance for future land acquisition. The 2024-2028 Capital Improvements Program original budget for this
project was $1,120,000. The increase in budget appropriations is requested due to an additional $400,000
in professional design services to coordinate this project with the improvements to Riverside Crossing
Park.
Section 4 requests $1,350,000 in funding from debt proceeds in the Capital Improvements Construction
Fund for capital improvement projects.

• $700,000 for the Tuller Road to Emerald Parkway over 270 Crossing project (BC23C03). This
project provides for a new crossing over I-270 from Tuller Road to Emerald Parkway. In the 2024-
2028 Capital Improvements Program this project had $2,100,000 budgeted for 2024. This request
adds an additional $700,000 in debt funding appropriation in the Capital Construction Fund for
additional phase one and two detailed design costs.
• $650,000 for the Bright Road Corridor and Bright Road-Sawmill Road Intersection Improvements
(ST23C02). In the 2024-2028 Capital Improvements Program, this project was budgeted at
$6,700,000 for 2024. In the 2024 First Quarter Supplemental this project was unappropriated
from the Capital Improvements Fund and reappropriated in the debt funded Capital
Improvements Construction Fund. Additionally, the 2024 First Quarter Supplemental appropriated
$900,000 for utility and land acquisition costs. This request adds an additional $650,000 in debt
funded appropriation in the Capital Improvements Construction Fund for construction and
acquisition costs.
Section 5 requests $50,000 in funding in the Law Enforcement Custodial Fund for the payment of
forfeitures. These funds are collected by the City and distributed to the appropriate law enforcement
agencies at the conclusion of a case. These funds are distributed according to a judicial order. This
appropriation covers current forfeiture payment obligations and appropriates funds for future 2024
expenditures.
