Form No. 1097 "'';$'" Held January 4 L 1982 19 Page Two Mr. Gunner commented on the purpose of said ordinance which was to require per- mits when drilling wells for geothermal heating/cooling systems. Mrs. Maurer said she previously asked that the Law Director check into the possibility of including a requirement that the person acquiring the system be informed of the amount of water they would need if they were using the well both for home purposes and the heating system. Mr. Smith said they could work on a draft to this affect. Mr. Thornton commented on restrictions not necessarily applying to everyone, for instance, those close to the river who could dispose of water by emptying into the river. Mr. Wolfe added that such persons could apply for a variance. After further discussion, Mr. Jacoby of the Dublin Pump Company, was present to answer questions pertaining to rules and regulations of installation of the geothermal heating/cooling system. He volunteered to assist the Village in preparing an effective ordinance. Mayor Lewis requested Mr. Jacoby meet with Mr. Sheldon to discuss this matter further. Update Report from Parks and Recreation Chairman - Mr. Phil Hill Mr. Hill, Chairman, Parks and Recreation Committee, Mr. Horn, Brubaker/Brandt Architects, and Mr. Bradstetter, Bradstetter-Carroll, were present to review and report proposed improvements for Coffman and Avery Parks. Mr. Hill said the Committee had discussed recreation facilities at Coffman Park and are considering recommending to Council to approve the construction of Phase I, the outdoor swimming facility. He said the outdoor pool would be most feasible at this time because it would pay for itself. Mr. Thornton asked what the annual operating deficit would be and Mr. Bradstetter said with a capi tal cost of $1,300,000, if a long term bond is assumed at current rates with the actual operating deficit the pool would incur, there would be an approxi- mate total annual cost of $110,000 to $120,000. Mrs. Maurer asked Mr. Hill if the Parks and Recreation Committee would consider talking with the School Board about the possibility of cooperating to build an indoor facility. Mr. Hill said they are working closely with the Board and have a member, Mary Jo Edwards, on the Parks and Recreaction Committee. He said in time a recommendation will probably be made to Council to pursue this cooperative effort. Mayor Lewis said at this time that any recommendations made would first need to be reviewed by the Finance Committee. Mr. Hill then commented on the extension of Avery Park. He asked that the Mas- ter Plan for said Park be approved and said the Committee is working with Woolpert Consultants in phasing the plan. Mr. Sheldon said he has requested Woolpert provide an estimated cost of Phase I. Mrs. Headlee suggested the drainage problem of Avery Park be looked into. She also would like to see soccer fields constructed and, therefore, would like to see Phase I imolemented as soon as nossihlA.

Mr. Chambers moved, however, that this request be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendation. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Smith then advised Mr. Farley that he would need to apply for a rezoning. Mr. Gelpi - Swan Cleaners - Appeal for Fire Lane Parking It was decided this discussion should be delayed until the new Councilmembers have had an opportunity to review previous information concerning this problem. Mr. Smith said he would like the new Councilmembers to receive a copy of a memorandum from him concerning this matter. Council Roundtable Discussion Mr. D'Alonzo expressed his appreciation to Mrs. Headlee for her service to Dublin as Mayor. He congratulated Mr. Lewis for being elected Mayor and offer- ed his support. He thanked Mr. Sheldon and Mrs. Strutner for arranging a briefing session with the new Councilmembers in December. He felt this was very helpful in prepar- ing them for their position on Council. Also, he said he thought the idea of Council and the School Board having a joint meeting would be most valuable and was hopeful this could be arranged in the future. In reference to the traffic plan being studied, he thought it was important to take some action as soon as possible to come up with some concrete proposals with the problems that are pointed out in the study. Mayor Lewis mentioned that the plan was presently before the Planning and Zoning Commission and a re- port will be received from them in the near future. Mr. Chambers said he had previously made a motion that a committee of Council be appointed to discuss with the Fire Board and Fire Chief the degree to which Dublin is at risk for lack of an aerial ladder and to make recommendations to that committee as to how Council might assist the Fire Board in solving the problem. He made the motion again, seconded by Mr. D'Alonzo, and the vote was unanimous for approval. Mayor Lewis appointed Mr. Chambers, Chairman, and Mr. Thornton to serve as a committee to meet with the Fire Board and Fire Chief to discuss this matter. Mrs. Maurer expressed her appreciation for having had the opportunity to serve with Mrs. Headlee as Vice-Mayor the last two years. She commended Mrs. Headlee for her role in conducting Mayor's Court in a creative and interesting way when dealing with the youth.
