Mr. Peterson was excused. Staffmembers present were: Mr. Hansley, Mr. Ciarochi, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. Smith, Mr. Harding, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Kindra, Mr. McDaniel, Ms. Crandall, Ms. Puskarcik, Mr. Hahn, Ms. Hoyle, Mr. Price, and Mr. Husenitza. Approval of Minutes Mr. Reiner requested that on page nine, in item #2 of his comments, that the words "he was told by a resident," be amended to "he was told by a contractor. Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the October 15, 2001 Council meeting minutes as amended. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Vice Mayor Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Correspondence The Clerk reported that no correspondence requiring Council action had been received. Citizen Comments Kip Ericksen. New Albany, stated that he represents Wendy's Championship for Children, an annual LPGA golf tournament, which has been held the past three years at New Albany ,.."",....., Country Club. Beginning in 2002, the tournament will be held at the Tartan Fields Golf Club. Although Tartan Fields is not in the City of Dublin, it does carry a Dublin address; therefore, the tournament will bring significant exposure to the city. He stated that the local advertising campaign budget alone is approximately $300,000.00, and there is also a national public relations campaign. The tournament will be reported across the country in daily newspapers, in national publications, such as Sports Illustrated, Golf World, and Golf Week, and six hours oflive broadcast will be carried on ESPN and ESPN-2, which cover a viewing area of 76 million people. As the immediate neighboring community, there will be a significant economic value to Dublin. Typically, 45,000 sp.ectators attend the tournament during the week, and 144 players, their caddies, and members of the media will be staying in the City during the week. Although Wendy's is the title sponsor, there will also be significant opportunities for Dublin businesses and residents to participate during the week. In addition, 1,000 volunteers will be recruited to assist in operating the event that week. Having the financial backing of companies for such a large, unpaid work force allows them to make a significant charitable contribution as a result of the tournament. Last year, $450,000 was generated for Children's Hospital, which made this event the largest single event fundraiser for Children's Hospital. The event is scheduled for July 28 - August 4, 2002 and will be held within a similar timeframe in future years. He added that they look forward to building a good relationship with the City as their neighbor. Joe Holdrieth. 8856 Davington Drive, current president of the Board for the Dublin r-. Chamber of Commerce, noted that the Board represents the business community of Dublin. Although the Board members support the concept of the Unified Development Code and Standards, some the members have read the proposed revision in its entirety and are concerned that the proposed Code revision will significantly change the development environment in Dublin. The revised Code eliminates some zoning classifications and proposes new and stricter standards. The members voiced numerous concerns: (1) some zoning categories are eliminated completely, leaving some large and small employers in limbo; (2) density will be approximately 50 percent of that currently in place; (3) grandfathering of existing buildings and zonings is prohibited; and (4) performance standards for some TIF agreements cannot be met under the new Code. There will also be unintended consequences: for example, the limit on rooftop structures at 15 feet will eliminate any new class A office space, because traction elevators require a 20-foot , I I I I I:, '" !"1I~:lh.'I1i!l11 ,II", j,kiH 1.11\1111 .. ,:IYi'" r" iT":: i ! ., : 1 1 "1 .' ~ O,(t',:.! ..'il":W")I~~lit~'Gtt~~~L,,1 ~ t;'tnIll:lm't'.W'~~il;t,,:M~i'W ::Iil!;.~JiLI:,:J;:;:-lit,i't!lt:' . .1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS '''~'''''''''''''''H''''''_'''''''''M"~",,,,,,,_,_~inules,,,j}i_''''''''''~'''''''''''''H""""'''''''''''''''''''M''''''''-'''''HM''''~''''''''''''''~<ff,,,,,,,,,,,l)ublin.,-Cit,LCo.U,,ll.ciL"'''''''''''''''''''M'''''''''_'''-''''''''''''''''''''~'''''''''''''HJ?-ageM2-_",_",_,,,,Me,eting""'H"'"'''''''''''''''''' DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC FORM NO 10148 Held November 5,2001 , (YEAR) structure on the top of the building. The members attempted to determine some of the easily determinable economic impacts on the City and the Dublin schools. He distributed handouts which are based on two analyses: tax amounts based upon assumptions in the Dublin Community Plan for City revenue from income and property tax and school ,..-..., district revenue from the property tax. Both analyses are based upon information gathered from eleven employers and landowners in Dublin. Their facilities house 15,000 employees and currently include 404 acres. That group also owns 340 acres for expansion and development. The Existing Facility Analysis indicates that if the existing facilities for these eleven employers were built to the proposed standards, the tax revenue for the City of Dublin would be $4.3 million/year less than the City currently receives. The impact on the school district would be $1.9 million annually. In the Undeveloped Land analysis, if these same eleven landowners developed their 340 acres to current standards, the additional revenue to the City of Dublin would be $11 million/year; under the proposed standard, this drops to less than $7 million. Over ten years, the City would be foregoing $43 million in tax revenue, which would fund significant capital improvements - roads, bridges, recreation centers, etc. The School District will lose $10 million over ten years. The Chamber offers its assistance in working with the City to resolve these critical issues. He has been informed that staff is working on alternatives to the proposal, and those will be ready in January when the Planning and Zoning Commission addresses the Commercial Property section of the Code. He added that their membership desires to be proactive and positive in this process. Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. stated that there are two or three issues which he would like to address: (1) Behind the City's legislation and development decisions is the underlying mission ~ to protect and reinforce the quality oflife within the City. Two projects, in particular, come to mind, and, pending some final research he intends to complete, he will address Council in the future on this topic; (2) He suggests that Council and the City embark upon an in-depth plan to effectively deal with any future terrorist activities that could occur within Dublin that could cripple the City and/or the nation within a very short time. Other cities are proceeding with similar studies, such as Berkeley, CA. (3) While he was out of town this past week, the bikepath, which had been staked out on his property, was scraped out. At several points, the bikepath had been moved deeper into his property by one to two feet, or even more, than what was called for in the original staking. When Mr. Maurer asked Mr. Tennyson, Engineering, if this had occurred, his response was that it could have happened in order to allow access for the Service Department to annually trim back the trees and bushes. Mr. Maurer stated that this has been one of the areas of contention regarding the installation of this bikepath. This type of generic trimming back destroys the natural contours of growth. As he has stated before, this area from Brandonway to S.R. 161 is the last remaining long stretch of rural remnant. He stated that the citizens would be best served in the future to disregard any supposed concerns of the City regarding preservation of the rural charm. Mr. Reiner stated that he had heard that Mr. Maurer was recovering from an illness, and he is very happy to see him back at Council meetings. ,r-- , i Staff Comments f Mr. Hansley stated that there was a memo in Council packets in response to a communication from Ms. Denise King. Ms. King phoned today and indicated that she is satisfied with the preliminary report and thanked Council for their responsiveness. Mr. Ciarochi stated: 1. Ordinance 130-01 was tabled until tonight. Council's direction was to meet with the Waterford homeowners association. As that meeting has been scheduled for November 18,2001 and there will not be sufficient time to award a contract and complete the work this fall, staff recommends that Council defeat Ordinance 130- Ol.

Subsequently, a lawsuit has been filed by the Ohio Township Association against some of the parties involved in the referendum. - Ms. Grigsby: 1. Stated that as Council has requested, a memo was provided to Council tonight regarding the impacts of rollback of the inside millage. This matter is to be considered within the context of the budget discussions. 2. Noted that Ms. Glick, a member of the Finance staff, recently received the designation of Certified Payroll Professional. 3. Noted that there was a fee waiver request from the Young Professionals Academy, Dublin Schools, for use of a Recreation Center facility. The fee associated with the room rental is approximately $240.00 Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the fee waiver. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Mrs. Boring inquired how granting such waivers would impact the calculations within the fee ordinance. Ms. Grigsby responded that the fees collected recover a certain percentage of the cost, so if this fee is waived, it would affect the cost recovery percentage. Mrs. Boring stated that her concern is that granting waivers actually increases the cost for other users. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that Council has denied many previous requests. In order to be consistent, does this request fall in line with those organizations whose fee waiver requests have been denied or those which have been approved? --- Ms. Grigsby responded that this request is more consistent with those which have been denied. The only waivers from the School District which have been approved previously are associated with the after-prom parties. The basis for denial of many requests has been that the School District has numerous groups/organizations, and if each school group were to request a waiver, the City would be donating significant time and facility space to school groups. V ote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, no; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, no; Mr. McCash, no. (Waiver denied) Mr. Kindra: 1. Stated that the water/sewer project has been completed. The residents on the west side of the river have been notified that the waterline is now available for tap-in. The waterline on the east side of the river is still being tested; however, approval is expected soon, and a similar notification will be made to those property owners. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that a resident on Bellaire Drive had informed her yesterday that water was still flowing out ofthose waterlines. Is that problem now resolved? Mr. Kindra responded that the emission of water was due to the chlorination procedure. That is now completed and the waterline is shut off. That process, however, is still ongoing for the waterline on the east side ofthe river. -- Ms. Puskarcik stated that in response to Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher's recent request concerning a meeting with a group of citizens from Old Dublin regarding their concerns, a meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 7th. LEGISLATION SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 123-01 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change in Zoning for 92.25 Acres Located at the Northeast Corner of Hyland-Croy Road and Mitchell-Dewitt Road from: U-l, Rural District (Jerome Township Zoning District) to: PUD, Planned' Unit Development District. (Dublin Jerome High School - 8300 Mitchell-Dewitt Road/Case No. 01-095Z) Ms. Clarke stated that this is a combined concept plan and preliminary development plan. i _j , 1'1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS '~~'''M",,,,,,,~~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~,-Minutes,,,,oi''~~''''''''''M''"'''''''''~'''''''M'~_''~''''''~H''~'''''~''~~H_"_~_",,,~~~D;ubli]:l,HC.it;y.,,CouncilM""~~H""~"~"",,,,,,,-,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~,,,_,~,,,,,,:Eage,,4.'"''''''M'''''''''"M.eeting"",,,,,,,~,,,,,~~, UAY10N LEGAL BLANK INC. FOHM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 2001 , (YEAR) The request is to rezone approximately 92 acres at the corner of Mitchell-DeWitt and Hyland-Croy roads for a third high school. The proposal is to include it in a PUD or Planned Unit Development District. PUD approvals come in three stages. The first stage is non-binding and called a concept plan. The concept plan was submitted to the Planning r-"" Commission on October 4t\ and the Commission recommended approval with two conditions, as noted in the attached Record of Action. Simultaneously, P&Z considered the rezoning application, which is the preliminary development plan. That is a binding plan on the developer and on the City of Dublin. That application was also heard by the Planning Commission on October 4th, and the Commission recommended approval with ten conditions, as noted in the attached Record of Action. The Dublin Jerome High School will initially be constructed to accommodate 1,200 students; ultimately, it could be expanded to accommodate 1,800 students. The northern ten acres of the site is wooded, and the proposal includes extending the bikepath along both street frontages, providing left turns at the entrances. Construction of the left turns is to be jointly funded by the School District and the City. The school building will be situated near the corner, and the sports fields will be placed around it. There are platted lots on the east side in the Belvedere subdivision. Another neighbor to this site is the Riviera Golf Course. The site is in Union County, so it is being rezoned from the Union County or Jerome Township designation ofU-1, a rural classification, to Dublin's classification ofPUD. Ms. Clarke showed slides of the site. Ms. Clarke added that the final development plan has been filed and will likely be reviewed by the Planning Commission in December. Ms. Clarke noted that at the first reading of this ordinance, Council made two requests with its referral to the Planning Commission for review: (1) that any 200-foot or WOW setback be considered a recommendation and not a Code requirement; and (2) that the -, Commission deal with this request expeditiously to enable the schools to respond to a December bid, if possible. If Council approves the rezoning tonight, the final development will be submitted to the Planning Commission in December. She requested one motion of approval which would include both the concept plan and preliminary development plan. She noted that before the development plan was sent to the Planning Commission, City Council approved funding of certain site improvements: (1) assistance in bringing utilities to the site; (2) assistance in construction of left-turn lanes at the entrances; and (3) landscape enhancements for the road frontage. Those recommendations have been incorporated into the text and are covered to the extent that City Council has partnered with the School District for this site. Ms. Clarke noted that the School District has also submitted a request for a tree waiver, which can be addressed separately. She noted that the memo provided in Council packets clarifies the differences between Code requirements for tree replacement and the school's proposal. If the actual Code guidelines were applied, the tree replacement fee would be $295,475. Applying the Council's adopted policy, which reduces the requirement for non- landmark trees to a tree-for-tree basis, rather than inch-for-inch, would lower the replacement cost to $165,900. The school board's replacement proposal adds 191 trees to the site, which are not required for other purposes. They are slightly smaller than the Code requires, and staff has assigned value to those trees at $33,000. She noted that although the school has a need to develop many facilities on the 92-acre site, it found ways to preserve most of the trees. Taking out a corner of the woods still preserves the - major portion of the woods. Although the school's proposal does not meet Council's guidelines, the school system has generally not been expected to meet all the items required of developers. The school requests a partial waiver of the tree replacement fee of$262,475.00 reducing it to $33,425. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher inquired how the water and sewer line extension is being funded. Ms. Clarke responded that Council had approved funding of the cost of bringing the utilities to the site and associated costs. The cost was estimated at $150,000. The City has agreed to fund extension of the utilities to the site; the school will be responsible for the cost of utility extension through the site. Regarding the waterline, there is the opportunity for the City to be reimbursed by the developer of Belvedere. The other area for whichthe City approved funding was $160,000 for landscape enhancements per WOW guidelines. 1,1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ""_"__"~"~"~"~"'"''~''M""",~~inu.t.es",oi"w''''''''''HM''''~''_W''W'''''~''''''''''''''.'~'~H"w''-~''''Hw'~''H"".QOO,lit*"w~",~ll:Gi,lw",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,""~"~""'''''~''H''''''&'~''~''M,,,.J?,ag.e,,,,s,''''''''~''M,,,,,Me.e.ting,,,,,,"~",,,,,,,,,,,,,,, DAYTON LEGAL BLANK INC. FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 2001 , (YEAR) This would be in addition to the basic Code requirements, which will be funded by the School District. Mr. Ciarochi added that the City also agreed to use the oversizing policy on both the on- ,..-, site water and sewer extensions to the northern boundary and to share in the cost of the left-hand turns required for two entrances to the site. V ote on the Ordinance: Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. Mayor Kranstuber moved approval of the partial waiver of the tree replacement fee for Dublin Jerome High School, as outlined in the staff memo of November 1, 2001. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Adamek, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes. Ordinance 127-01 - An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System and Establishing a Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for City of Dublin Services. Mr. Hansley stated that this was reviewed by the Finance Committee. Staff recommends adoption. Mr. McCash, Finance Committee Chair, stated that the committee reviewed the proposed amendment for fees and service charges. Mr. Hansley's memo of November 5th addresses those modifications recommended by the Committee. Of those, the Committee concurred with staff s recommendation for a ten percent increase in the cost of pool passes - and a modification in the terms and cost of the 90-day college student pass to the Recreation Center. Other recommendations are noted in that memo. However, a clear recommendation was not formulated for the theater rental. Ms. Grigsby stated that in response to the Committee's recommendation, staffis suggesting the option for an annual pass for college students, at a cost of 50% of the current rate for an individual pass, with the limit of 70 visits per pass per year. If Council were to select that option, the ordinance would be amended to replace the 90-day pass with the annual college student pass. Mrs. Boring indicated preference for the new option. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he would oppose the proposed ten percent increase for the outdoor pool and for the Rec Center. Although the Recreation Center has a capacity problem, the City receives substantial revenue from its economic bases. In comparison, parks are subsidized at 100% for the families who play soccer or other sports. The pool and the Recreation Center are easily financed and represent an opportunity for the City to give something back to the community. There is no reason for the residents to have any additional burden; he would actually like to see the rate reduced. Mr. Adamek inquired ifthe theater rental fees are proposed for implementation in 2003. ,......., Mr. McCash responded that discussion focused on the time needed for practice and set-up in addition to the actual performance time. For instance, the amount oftime that the theater is unavailable to other groups after the Emerald City Players' sets are in place is substantial. There was also discussion regarding continued subsidy of the Emerald City Players, including operating costs. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that one ofthe purposes for constructing the theater was to support and encourage development of a community theater group. The Emerald City Players are now in their second year, and have not yet had opportunity to become established sufficiently to become self-supporting. It is too early to assess any additional costs to the Emerald City Players. Mrs. Boring asked for input from Council members regarding the proposed fees for recycling bins. Her position is that the price should remain as it is. She asked for an I i I I I Ii ,,: liiflli!'!

She does not have a number available for the total "move-ins". Mr. McCash noted that most homeowners are not taking the bins with them. Mrs. Boring stated that the number is smaller than she anticipated, and that she is satisfied with the current proposal. Mrs. Boring moved to approve the Ordinance with the amendments as recommended by the Finance Committee, including the annual college student pass. Mr. McCash seconded the motion.

Ordinance 130-01 - An Ordinance Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements, Pursuant to Section 8.04 ("Contracting Procedures"), Paragraph C ("Waiver of Competitive Bidding"), For the Procurement of Sidewalk Construction on Waterford Drive and South High Street and Acceptance of Price Quote from McDaniels Construction Company, and Declaring an Emergency. Mayor Kranstuber noted that although Mr. Ciarochi had requested that this legislation not be approved, some residents present tonight have passed out information and requested an opportunity to speak. Robin Rose. 195 Stonefence Lane. Waterford subdivision, indicated that she and her husband regularly walk to the many offices and retail shops in the adjoining business district. However, they would feel much safer walking in the area if there were sidewalks. At present, Waterford Drive, Franklin Street, and the south side of Bridge Street from the Dublin Community Church to the shopping center do not have sidewalks. Due to the health benefits, Mr. and Mrs. Rose would like to walk more. Many foreign countries have more pedestrian traffic than the U.S.A. More pedestrian traffic would alleviate the vehicle traffic problems. Recently, she has spoken with many residents along Stonefence Lane, Pebble Creek, Monterey and Waterford Drives. All of those with whom she has spoken desire that the City - proceed with the sidewalk along Waterford Drive. Most are of the opinion that Dublin should be a walking-friendly community - one of the reasons they have chosen to live in this area. The Roses expect to remain in their home for the remainder of their lives. Ms. Rose read comments from area residents stating their support for the construction of a sidewalk along Waterford Drive. She noted that she has forwarded additional comments from the Hughes family to the Council Clerk as well as a list of resident signatures in support of the sidewalk. She noted that the curbcuts have been in place formany years, and she urges the City to meet the needs of the residents. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that due to public comments in opposition to the sidewalk at the last Council meeting, Council requested that a community meeting I I I'! I:', ! mill ii'tiH +; . i.!

However, the 2001 construction season is ending; therefore, even if the sidewalk is approved, construction could not occur until next spring. ~" Mrs. Rose stated that she spoke with two of the residents who oppose the sidewalk. They indicated their concerns are related to the potential loss of a tree and diminished property value. Most of the other residents are more concerned with the safety issue. Mayor Kranstuber stated that he was previously a resident of the Waterford subdivision, and supports Mrs. Rose's position. Mrs. Boring inquired if Council direction to staff on this issue also included review of the sidewalk design to assure that it would avoid damage to trees wherever possible. Mr. Ciarochi stated that staff is reviewing the setbacks and tree locations in that area. The major staff directive was to schedule a meeting with the residents, which will take place on Sunday, November 18th. Notification of that meeting is being handled by the homeowners association; however, individual notices could be sent. Mrs. Boring indicated preference for individual homeowner notification. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher inquired if a postcard could suffice as legal notification. Mr. Hansley stated that this would be acceptable. - Mayor Kranstuber inquired if the majority of the homeowners present at the November 18th meeting should indicate support of the sidewalk, could the sidewalk be completed yet this year? Mr. Ciarochi responded that it could not, which is the reason staff recommends defeat of the legislation. In addition to the Waterford area, this project would also include the area along Dublin Road and involves two separate contractors. He recommends taking this through the formal, competitive bidding process as a separate project. Mr. McCash requested that at the neighborhood meeting with Waterford area residents Mr. Ciarochi provide information on how the sidewalk design would be implemented. A few homes on Stonefence and Waterford have steps that run down to the curb. Mr. Ciarochi stated that photographs and drawings would be used at the neighborhood association meeting as a mechanism to illustrate setbacks and methods of avoiding trees and making grade transitions.

Dublin, stated that he has been pursuing this initiative in excess of two years. He believes it would make Dublin a safer place in which to live and work. He represents 144 Dublin residents who signed a petition this summer endorsing this request. He distributed copies of that petition, a resolution from the Washington Township trustees in support of that petition, and an engineering study commissioned by the City of Dublin. The proposal is to install a traffic signal preemption system along the S. R. 161 corridor from Dale Drive to Avery-Muirfield, which would allow emergency vehicle operators to change traffic signals from red to green to provide a clear path ahead of them.

FORM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 2001 , (YEAR) This would provide greater safety for both the emergency response team and for citizens at intersections and enable quicker emergency aid to those in dire need. It can be accomplished at minimal cost. His interest in this is due to a personal incident. In December 1998, he was on the SR 161 bridge over the Scioto River, - the traffic was backed up on both sides, and emergency vehicles were proceeding with lights and siren east toward Riverside Drive. Although they were aware that the emergency vehicle was trapped behind them, the vehicles were paused at a red light at the busy Riverside Drive intersection, and hesitated to pull out onto Riverside Drive. Mr. Weirich stated that he pulled as close to the bridge as possible, but was aware that if the fire truck could not get through, he would be knocked into the bridge. Another incident occurred a year ago. He was in the northbound lane on Frantz Road at the S.R. 161 intersection. There is a concrete median between opposite lanes of traffic on Frantz Road. A heavy rescue truck was trying to proceed northbound to S.R. 161, but traffic was stopped at the red light and unable to move out of the way." A uniformed firefighter ran to the intersection to motion traffic through the red light, but traffic did not proceed until the signal changed. Mr. Weirich explained that the electronic system he proposes would operate either via an audible signal or by a digitally coded infrared system. A transmitter present on each emergency vehicle would send a signal to the traffic signal control box. The signal would then change to give the emergency vehicle a green light and all other traffic a red light. A national study in 2000 indicated that 20.5% of the firefighters killed in the line of service perished as a result of traffic accidents. In addition, the engineering study issued in April 2000 states on page 13 that "the - biggest payoff from signal preemption appears to be in the form of reduced liability resulting from crashes which may occur at a signalized intersection between emergency vehicles running hot in cross traffic. Avoiding even one such liability situation is more than enough to pay for the entire system." He assumes that the study was filed, as he was advised that action probably wouldn't be taken until 2004 or beyond. Since he continues to believe that this service would benefit the people who work and live in Dublin, he has gathered 144 signatures of residents within the community. Of those individuals he approached, not one refused to sign. Many indicated that the communities in which they previously lived had this safety feature, and when they moved to a progressive community such as Dublin, they had expected to find the same safety feature here. Referring to the Resolution of the Washington Township Trustees he read: "The Board supports the installation of a priority control system with the City of Dublin and expresses its willingness to enter into a partnership with the City to share in the costs of such a system." Mr. Weirich pointed out that Washington Township has indicated that they will pay 50% ofthe cost of installation, as well as installing the transmitters on all their emergency fire trucks and EMS vehicles. He summarized that in view of those stated factors, the fact that the proposed plan appears to be well within the economic means of the City, in an exercise of prudent risk management, and in recognition that such a system can save lives and property, it is respectfully requested that Council adopt the resolution without delay to facilitate purchase and installation of such lifesaving equipment. ,..,..... David Horton. 4860 Carrigan Ridge Drive, stated that he has no additional information to share. However, he is present as a resource person, should anyone have any questions. Mr. Hansley stated that the cost of the system is estimated at $100,000. Installation would occur at the key intersections in Dublin. Dublin's share would be between $50,000 to $100,000.00, assuming that all of the intersections would not be done. Some of those numbers may need to be updated. The City would still go through a bidding process, as there are three different vendors available. He noted that this issue has never been addressed in the budget process, because previously Council had decided not to pursue it.

FOAM NO. 1 0148 Held November 5, 2001 (YEAR) Mrs. Boring stated that she recalls that staff did not recommend the option at that time. Mr. Hansley stated that there was concern about the recovery time after the --, intersection is cleared. This report, however, addresses balancing factors. Mr. Adamek requested additional estimates to enable discussion at the budget meetings. Mr. McCash requested that along with the information on the capital costs, that figures are provided regarding the cost of training, operation and maintenance. Also, the October 31 st memo from staff mentions that "products are being marketed on the Internet for individual motorists to preempt traffic signal systems." If those products work, that would be a factor to consider as well. Mr. Weirich responded that the audible signal could be copied, but the infrared digitally encrypted signal could not. Mrs. Boring inquired if there are any grants available for this. Mr. Weirich stated that two or three years ago, ODOT had such grants available, but not at this time. He suggested that Council compare the following scenarios in making its decision: (a) $100,000 for this emergency safety feature vs. the cost of liability, should a fatal accident occur at one of these intersections; legal counsel alone would exceed $100,000. (b) $100,000 vs. the loss of a loved one's life due - to delayed emergency response. Mrs. Boring asked Chief Bostic if the township trustees were under the impression that a grant was available. Chief Bostic stated that their understanding was that no grants were available at this time. Mr. Reiner asked Chief Geis and Chief Bostic for their evaluation. Chief Geis stated that, conceptually, the Police Division is in support of the request. However, there is a need to prioritize competing projects for budget dollars. In the 26 years he has been with the Dublin Police Division, there have been no serious police vehicle accidents involving traffic signals, and only a few minor accidents. Chief Bostic stated that they would support the concept, if the City Engineer is satisfied that this will not cause any problems with the City's traffic signalization. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher moved to direct staff to provide the necessary information for further consideration at the Finance Committee budget hearing on November 14. -- Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

Ofthe other two requests: (1) Dublin Youth Athletics requested $74,500 with $67,500 targeted for the lighting of Darree Fields and up to $7,000 for the cost of City services for -. the 2001 CABA World Series. The $67,500 is the other half of the total amount of $135,000 requested last year for the lighting of Darree Fields. $67,500 was approved at that time, and the Finance Committee recommends approval of the remaining amount at this time. Mr. McCash moved to approve the request as stated. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. (2) Natalie Witwer, Miss Ohio, requested $10,000 for an Ohio Youth Summit, which will focus on core values for the Ohio youth. This will follow up on her platform in the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program. The Finance Committee recommends approval of up to $10,000 with the funds designated as part of the City's sponsorship of the Youth Summit, with the stipulation that a detailed plan and budget be submitted within thirty days. Mr.:McCash moved to approve the recommendation. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher seconded the motion. Ms. Witwer stated the event would tentatively be held April 19-20. The goal of the Summit would be "Uniting Ohio's Youth in a Common Character Culture." The focus will be on character development, hopefully, building on Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's Uncommon Sense Proposal. The target is high school - students. She will be contacting public schools and youth organizations throughout the state. Mrs. Boring inquired if a budget has been submitted. Ms. Witwer stated that the deadline for submission of the bed tax grant application was the week before the final Miss America competition. Not only was she unable to develop a budget so quickly, but if she had won the competition, she would not be pursuing this proj ect. However, she is working with a professional to develop a budget, which she will submit to the City in 30 days. Mr. McCash stated that the next bed tax grant application cycle will not occur in time for Ms. Witwer to apply, therefore, the Committee recommended approval up to $10,000 contingent upon the submission of a budget. Mrs. Boring encouraged Ms. Witwer to apply for a grant from the Dublin Women's Club and the Dublin Fund. Vote on the motion: Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes. Community Pool Planning Process Mr. McDaniel stated that when Council developed the 2002-2006 Capital Improvements Projects, a second outdoor community pool was included for construction in 2003. Funding for the pool design was approved for 2002. Council also requested that staff submit a proposed planning process, which was provided in Council's packet. r-'""' Mayor Kranstuber stated that the proposed process appears streamlined, yet allows opportunity for appropriate input. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that part of the criteria in choosing the architect is the experience they have in engaging the public in the design process. She encouraged prioritization of that criteria. It was the consensus of Council to approve the plan as proposed by staff. Council Round Table/Committee Reports Mr. Reiner: 1.

FOHM NO. 10148 Held November 5, 2001 , (YEAR) policy for tree replacement along major rights-of-way. He complimented Ms. Clarke and the Planning staff for the comprehensive research provided for this study. The Committee review concluded with a recommendation for a trial tree replacement program as follows: - 1) Initial area for the trial program would be the area along Avery-Muirfield between Valleystream and just south ofBrigid's Close, along Indian Run Meadows, Section 6. This is the original section and the trees under consideration are on private property; 2) Work through the individual homeowner associations; 3) City landscape architect will evaluate the trial area and make recommendations for the missing/damaged trees. If the program continues, the landscape architect would identify targeted areas for the program. 4) Initial funding to come from the tree preservation fund. Mr. Reiner moved to give direction to Ms. Clarke to proceed with initiation of a prototype program. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Mr. Adamek stated that the targeted area was originally planted as a buffer for single- family homes along Muirfield Drive. Because some of the trees have been limbed up, or died, there are gaps in the buffer. The Committee recommends offering a SO/50 match of funds for the replacement landscape elements, such elements to be recommended by the landscape architect. They would not necessarily have to consist entirely of evergreens, but could include some low-growing elements to augment the pine trees that have been limbed up. Ms. Grigsby stated that the tree preservation fund stipulates that the funds be used to replace trees on public property. If this program is approved, the ordinance may need to be amended. ,.............,. Mr. Adamek responded that the reason a trial area is suggested is to provide opportunity to consider all the issues involved. Some ofthese targeted areas could be public properties, and others could be private properties. After staff reviews some of the areas, they could recommend any amendments that should be made. Mr. Hansley stated that this program would probably require the addition of language, such as "or private property nearby that serves a public purpose." Mrs. Boring stated that she has several issues related to the recommendation: (1) the Committee was directed to formulate a policy, yet that has not been done; (2) after such a policy has been approved, all neighborhoods should be considered for the trial program; 3) the City has overstepped its rights in regard to private property; (4) why would the City enact a tree replacement program when there are not yet street trees along all public rights- of-way? Wellington Place has absolutely no buffering on the public property where the retention pond is. Their application for City funding assistance was denied. Because the City has emphasized the need for homeowner associations to maintain their own entryway, it is inappropriate to provide funding for landscaping on private properties. This proposal, minus a policy, does not satisfy any of her concerns. Nothing appropriate has been submitted for a vote. Mr. Reiner responded that the area selected for the trial program was provided by Planning staffwho identified areas which had developed problems and have become aesthetically unappealing. It is one ofthe City's oldest housing areas along a major - thoroughfare. The request for City intervention came from its citizens. Mrs. Boring responded that no policy has been defined that can be used to clarify the City's position and justification on this issue in response to citizen inquiries. In addition, this area lies in the backyard of a present Council member. That clearly makes this recommendation inappropriate. Mayor Kranstuber inquired if any other Council members requested additional information. He noted that the policy was stated which was that the City would offer a 50/50 City subsidy of replacement landscape elements in areas identified by City staff as having developed aesthetic problems. , , i'I:'~WJlli'rN1,,~;W!<1I'1tIri'l~ts{<Hi,'W~'1' :ll'!

Ms. Clarke responded that she reviewed Council minutes, which, following a citizen's request, described a problem with aging plantings along Muirfield Drive. Consequently, staff specifically gathered information for the area along Muirfield Drive. ,-.., , Mrs. Boring responded that perhaps the aging sections of the east Dublin area, where there are no street trees at all, should have been considered for this program. She expected a policy that would address the entire City, not one major thoroughfare. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that she then propose a motion to amend the policy. Mrs. Boring refused, stating that in her opinion, a City policy would prioritize the tree planting, which would begin with areas in which there are no street trees. Brief discussion continued. Mayor Kranstuber called for the vote on the motion: Vote on the motion: Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, abstain; Ms. Chinnici- Zuercher, no; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no. Mr. Smith indicated that the motion passed with a simple majority of those members voting. Mayor Kranstuber invited Ms. Rosenthal, Executive Director of the Dublin Arts Council, to proceed with her comments. Christy Rosenthal. Dublin Arts Council, stated that they are focusing on the process for the next public art project. They have met with City staff and members of the community. ......... There are multiple viable options for a site, but timing is now an issue. Consequently, the Arts Council has returned to their original recommendation and are requesting Council approval of7125 Riverside Drive, the location of the Dublin Arts Center, for the location of the next public art project. Ideally, the requirement would be made for the art to add to the functionality ofthe landscape and be in keeping with the character and charm of the building. Mr. McCash moved to approve 7125 Riverside Drive as the location of the next public art proj ect. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Ms. Chinnici- Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher: 1. Inquired about the bikepath being installed on S.R. 745. It appears to be as close to the road as the one further south, where the City installed landscaping to buffer it from the road. Is this remedy also being considered in this case? Mr. Kindra stated that in the section being installed, the only area that meets that description is at the intersection of Brand Road. That area is to be reconfigured as a turn lane at the traffic signal, so the work is being done to cause a minimum of destruction at this time. The design for the intersection is programmed for next year, and the construction in 2003. Landscaping will not be done this year. Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that on Mr. Maurer's property she has noticed substantial ~ water in the four to five foot space between the bikepath route and the road. And because of the very large trees on Mr. Maurer's property, there is an abundance ofleaves on the ground where the bikepath will be routed. What is the City's policy for maintaining the bikepaths free of potential safety hazards, such as leaves? Mr. Hansley stated that the City is obligated to provide snow and leaf removal in areas where there is pedestrian traffic. Mr. Maurer stated that prior to the ground removal for the proposed bikeway, water collected on his property for about an hour, then it would dissipate into a sinkhole. Now, the sinkhole has been removed. Mr. Tennyson ofthe Engineering Department has explained that although a drainpipe has been placed under Mr. Maurer's driveway, it is not large enough.

Noted that the street sign on Bellaire has not been replaced since the sewer installation has been completed. - Mrs. Boring: 1. Referred to a memo she had provided in Council packets, and requested Council support in asking the Law Director to investigate the possibility of a City rezoning of Subarea 5C of the Northeast Quadrant PUD to R-1. In 1995, a PUD was approved that included a change to expand the acreage of the original rezoning to include a medical complex at the southwest corner of Sawmill and Hard roads. The new plan eliminated any precedence for retail to move further south or north of this quadrant. Because the Mt. Carmel offices and nursing home concept allowed sale of medical supplies, the text was revised to include that as a permitted use. However, Mt. Carmel no longer has plans for this area, so this zoning is no longer applicable. Although SO may be more appropriate, returning it to R-1 would provide the maximum flexibility. Mrs. Boring moved to request the Law Director to investigate the possibility of a City rezoning of Subarea 5C of the Northeast Quadrant PUD to R-1. Mayor Kranstuber stated that this would effectively return control to the City on this site. Mr. Adamek asked about the current zoning of the site. Mrs. Boring responded that it is part of a PUD. Mr. Smith stated that Council had initiated a rezoning process last year, and prior to initiating this one, he would suggest allowing an opportunity to (a) research the zoning, and (b) provide the Council with a memorandum on risklbenefits before Council moves forward on a rezoning. --- Mr. McCash seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes. Mr. Adamek: 1. Stated that he has had the pleasure of walking the neighborhood during his campaign. In doing so, he encountered a recurring question: when were the speed humps in front of St. Brigid approved and authorized to be installed? He was unaware of the City process for initiating/approving speed humps. After extensive research, he discovered they were included in a street maintenance program. He requested that in the future more information be provided to Council regarding the impact on the community of such high-priority and sensitive issues. Mr. Hansley stated that Council had directed staffto install the speed humps at Thomas Elementary on Tuttle. The speed humps at St. Brigid's were installed after a motion from Mrs. Boring was approved to do an assessment of the other schools, including parochial schools for the same treatment. Mayor Kranstuber stated that information, including color copies of drawings, was provided in Council packets a few weeks ago. Mr. Hansley stated that City staff has received a complaint from a resident that the -- St. Brigid's speed hump was too high. City staff did proceed to check out the 1-' speed hump and discovered that crossing the speed hump at 25 mph is not problematic, but higher speeds present a problem. 2. Stated that the City has a list of certified contractors that are licensed to do business in this City. Could a similar list be devised providing recommendations for painting, landscaping, or similar work? He has received several complaints recently on contractors who performed inferior work or did not complete projects. Mr. Hansley responded that legally the City cannot provide endorsements for private contractors. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce or Leadership Dublin could provide such a servIce.
