The Special meeting of Council, to discuss a 5-year Capital Improvement Program
was called to order by Mayor Headlee at 7:30 P.M. Those members present were:
Mr. Chambers, Mayor Headlee, Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Maurer, and Mr. Shawano Mr. Mand
and Mr. Geese were absent. Also present were Mr. Wolfe, Village Engineer, and
Mr. Gunner, Assistant Law Director.
Mr. Sheldon explained to the public the financial alternatives available to
assist Council in arriving at a 5-year Capital Improvement Program.
Council then entered into a discussion to determine priorities and what should
be accomplished in Dublin within a 5-year period.
Mr. Lewis made the suggestion that perhaps a cooperative, commercial-civic, ven
ture should be explored in regard to swimming and auditorium facilities. He
used the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in Columbus as an example. He said
the Hyatt corporation built that hotel but Columbus has some financial arrange-
ment in regard to the convention portion of that hotel.
Since he questions whether Dublin is of an adequate size to enter into an inde-
pendent project to acquire swimming facilities, he thinks it would be worth-
while to investigate a similar cooperative venture with Banning and Pickett and
the Metro Center. Their plans for athletic and swimming pool facilities have
been delayed and it is possible a cooperative venture of this type would enable
the Metro Center to put in these facilities sooner. An agreement could then be
made that all city residents could become members or have certain rights depend
ing on financial arrangements. This arrangement would also allow for profes-
sional operation of the facilities at a substantially reduced financial commit-
ment to the Village.
Mr. Lewis then questioned details of the river front property and Mr. Wolfe
produced a map of that area. It was pointed out pertinent information of this
area has not yet been compiled.
Mr. Chambers commented on the river front property and said when considering
purchase of this land, we should first decide what its worth is to us and then
make an offer.
Mr. Shawan said he felt the basic concern of the community is the transporation
system and water tower.
Mrs. Maurer felt recreation facilities such as a community center and swimming
pool should be among the priorities considered.
Mayor Headlee said the Glick Road repair was of significant importance to her.
Mr. Lewis made the suggestion to work from Scheme #2 and consider the following
- Glick Road in phases, not in notes
- Improve Frantz Road - 33 to Rings Road
- Improve Frantz Road - Rings Road to Tuttle Road
- Further Phases Improve - Scioto Park
- Future Park Development - Avery Park
- Remodel Police Facilities
- Acquire River Bank Land
- Additional Equipment Storage Building
He said a choice could be made in 1984 between extending Muirfield Drive south
or starting a community center. In 1985 the Village could still do all of thes€
things and consider starting on the swimming pool.

Mr. Lewis made a motion, seconded by Mr. Shawan, that the Finance Director con-
firm this quick calculation to insure that we could, in fact, proceed with the I
estimated income under Scheme #2 and proceed with those projects described.
All those present voted in favor of the motion.
Mr. Lewis said he would recommend the Finance Director proceed on the basis of
investigating the capital investment as though we were going to proceed in the
immediate future with Muirfield Drive south, then estimate at what year the
community center could be picked up and secondly, what year we could pick up
the swimming pool.
Mr. Chambers said in voting for this plan, he voted for the preparation of a
document to be presented to Council but it does not necessarily mean he will
support it. He said Council is going to have to vote as to whether a question
will be presented to the voters and as soon as a "rational" question is pre-
sented, he will vote for it but that does not necessarily mean he will support
it before the voters.
Mr. Lewis said he felt a proposal should be made for the actual acquisition of
the river front property. Also, he would like to at least have the possibili-
ties explored of a cooperative commercial-civic venture for expansion of our
recreational facilities and hopes this will be supported.
Mayor Headlee adjourned the meeting at 9:30 P.M.
