John Patrick Carney thanked Council for the opportunity to address them. He noted that the state legislature has been focused on the budget during the first quarter of 2009. He serves on the Transportation and Justice subcommittee of the Finance Committee. Federal stimulus funding is being pursued in the amount of $8 billion for high speed rail in the 3C corridor, from Cleveland, through Columbus and to Cincinnati. He lobbied to obtain stimulus dollars for Dublin projects, but funding was not provided in this first round. There may still be opportunities for seeking the federal stimulus funding, as other projects may not be "shovel ready" as are Dublin's. He has been working with Dublin businesses on many issues affecting them. Dublin Methodist Hospital has concerns regarding the franchise fee non contracting language. They are working on a proposal that is acceptable to the health care community. He has been working closely with Dublin superintendent Dr. Axner to ensure the school funding plan makes sense for Dublin's system. He visited St. Brigid School today to talk with them regarding auxiliary funds they receive as a private school. His focus is in supporting excellence for all school systems -whether public, private, or public charter. He is returning to a meeting tonight to work on final amendments to the House version of the state budget. It then goes to the Senate, where changes will be made. He encouraged everyone to review the substitute bill, the final House version of the bill, and stay apprised of any concerns as the budget goes through the Senate. He will work to ensure the District's priorities are being considered as the budget process continues. He invited input into the process from all constituents in Dublin. He offered to respond to questions. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher thanked Rep. Carney for advocating on behalf of Dublin projects. She emphasized that Dublin projects are indeed "shovel ready," and Dublin is hopeful there will be further consideration of its projects in the future. Dublin has worked very hard to have a strong corporate base in order to provide financial stability for both corporate residents and Dublin residents. The City looks forward to having his support in shaping the laws that allow Dublin and other communities to continue to do so. PROCLAMATIONS Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher presented a proclamation recognizing Dublin resident Diana Harrell, U.S. Speedskating National Championship Winner for Master Women's 40-49. Ms. Harrell thanked Council for this recognition, and described her training and family support which were key to her success. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher presented a proclamation in honor of National Volunteer Week to Rich Brown, Dublin resident. She noted that he served as the volunteer project leader for 350 City volunteers who participated on Saturday in the very successful Earth Week planting project, volunteering 1,500 hours in planting within eight City parks. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 2 Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher presented a proclamation in honor of Earth Week to City staff member Beth Lozier, Streets & Utilities. Ms. Lozier provided information regarding the various activities taking place in the City to observe Earth Week during April 19-25. CORRESPONDENCE The Clerk reported a notice had been sent to Council regarding a change of stock ownership for Martinos, Inc., 6645 Dublin Center Drive, holder of two existing D5 and D6 permits. There was no objection from Council. CITIZEN COMMENTS Bob Warne, 5808 Tarton Circle addressed Council: 1. He sent a letter to the local newspaper editor recently regarding his proposal for murals in Dublin's pedestrian tunnels, similar to what has been done in the City of Portsmouth. The Dublin high school students could work with the Dublin Arts Council to explore this possibility of painting murals, engaging the Dublin Historical Society in research to support this effort. The Brand Road pedestrian tunnel is a good example of what can be done. This endeavor would provide students with tuition monies for college, and would give citizens a reason to utilize the bikepaths. Instead of the Dublin Arts Council spending upwards of $50,000 per year for public art, purchased from artists outside of Dublin, it would provide an opportunity to keep this money in the Dublin community. 2. Noted in regard to the dedication services at the Veterans project, that he would like to see it become traditional that only photos of the veterans be taken and published in relation to this -and not elected officials. The City should develop a list of the veterans in the community and prioritize individuals for pictures at the Veterans project, such as those with combat experience, career military, or survivors of those who have perished. He asked that Council sacrifice this photo opportunity in favor of giving it to veterans. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher recommended that Mr. Warne meet with the Dublin Arts Council to discuss his ideas for the tunnels. Ms. Salay pointed out that no Dublin official has ever asked to be in a photo; this has not been a problem in Dublin. Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road stated that he listened carefully to the citizen comments section in the recording of the last Council meeting and watched the video recording as well. In view of the absence of three members and the Law Director, he will reserve his comments until next time. LEGISLATION POSTPONED ITEMS Ordinance 08-09 Accepting an Annexation of 39.8 Acres, more or less, in Jerome Township, Union County, to the City of Dublin. (Petitioner: Celtic Capital LLC) Ms. Readier reported that the applicant's attorney has requested that Council postpone this ordinance until May 18, 2009 to allow additional time to discuss issues related to reparations to the township. Mr. Gerber so moved. Mr. Lecklider seconded the motion- Vote on the motion: Ms. Salay, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. Ordinance 74-08 (Amended) Amending Section 153.028 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances (Zoning Code) regarding Conditional Uses in the Community Commercial District. (Case No. 08- 075ADM) Ms. Noble-Flading noted that this modification adds two new uses to the district as conditional uses -daycare facilities and tutoring services. This ordinance has been modified subsequent to introduction last year, eliminating the recreational uses previously included. Staff believes the uses of daycare facilities and tutoring services are appropriate for commercial use, and are brought forward based upon requests for these uses from the business community. Staff is therefore recommending approval of the Code modification. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 3 Wallace Maurer, 7451 Dublin Road noted that his understanding is that this amendment related to educational support services for students. What was the issue related to this legislation that delayed it until now? Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher responded that when introduced in October of 2008, the legislation included language regarding an entertainment district. Council asked staff to reconsider what was being recommended at that time. Vote on the Ordinance as Amended: Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes. SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING Ordinance 19-09 Rezoning of Approximately 0.18 Acre, More or Less, Located on the East Side of South High Street, Approximately 70 Feet South of Spring Hill, from CB, Central Business District, to HB, Historic Business District. (54 South High -Case 08-0192) Ms. Husak stated that Council requested some additional background materials for this ordinance at the April 6 hearing. Those materials have been provided, as well as samples of the siding and stone for the project. Vote on the Ordinance: Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING -ORDINANCES Ordinance 20-09 Amending Chapter 111 ("Alcoholic Beverages") of the Dublin Codified Ordinances, Specifically Section 111.05 ("Sales to and Use by Underage Persons; Securing Public Accommodations") to Impose Stricter Requirements to Discourage Adults from Permitting Underage Consumption of Alcohol, and Section 111.99 ("Penalty") to Enact New Affirmative Defenses. Ms. Salay and Mr. Gerber introduced the ordinance. Chief Epperson noted that the memo outlines the Code changes contemplated with this ordinance. There has been legislation introduced in other communities across the country, targeting the hosting of parties. This ordinance changes the mental state of an individual who can be charged from knowingly hosting a party or allowing a party to continue where underage persons are consuming alcohol to ne _ ligently doing so. This is an easier charge to make and to be upheld. The implications of this change to the Code are that it would allow individuals to be charged who allow a party to continue. Currently, the Code does not provide for this. He offered to respond to questions about how this would be implemented in Dublin. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher asked for information about the current law and how officers have used it, what has transpired through the use, and how this amendment would change that. Chief Epperson noted that in 2007, the Police were called to 31 of these types of parties and in 2008, 37 parties. There were 47 arrests as a result of those parties in 2007, and 40 arrests from the parties in 2008. The vast majority of those arrests are for underage consumption. Avery small number relates to charging someone at the residence who allowed the consumption of alcohol by underage persons to occur on their premises. There have been occasions where it could not be proven that an adult knowingly allowed such an activity to occur, and other occasions where a property owner refuses to help in stopping such a party. With this change, the owners of the premises could now be charged. Ms. Salay noted that at the next hearing, some community representatives will testify about the legislation. She noted that she has been involved in the "Parents Encouraging Responsible Choices" (PERC) programs and "Adolescence and Community Together to Prevent Underage Drinking") (ACT) programs. Underage drinking is a public health issue for communities, and the community needs to do whatever can be done to prevent this activity. This legislation demonstrates support for the families of the community in curbing underage drinking. The goal is not to have more arrests, but to continue efforts to educate everyone on the dangers of and damage resulting from underage drinking. She referred to a website (starttalkingnow.org), which has a wealth of information regarding serving RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin_City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 4 alcohol to underage persons in a home. Teaching teens to drink responsibly is a myth and there is a reason why the state law establishes drinking age as 21. Drinking is a fatal attraction for teens, and alcohol is implicated in the top three causes of teen deaths. The most compelling statistic is that each year, 5,000 teens die of alcohol-related causes, which is the equivalent of 100 teens -- a plane load -- per week. She is proud to sponsor this legislation, along with Mr. Gerber, and thanked staff for their assistance in bringing it forward. Mr. Gerber noted that the focus of this effort is on awareness and education, and PERC, ACT, the Dublin Counseling Center, Dr. Axner, the Dublin School Board, and teens and parents have all been involved in and supportive of this effort. The changes in the law are intended to supplement the awareness and education efforts. It will remain that the burden of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt; police offers will still have to obtain search warrants; and the "knowingly" aspect will change to "negligently," which will impact convictions. He pointed out that the awareness/education campaign will be balanced with this law by adding affirmative defenses. The penalties remain the same, ranging from $500 to $1,000 for this minor misdemeanor, including up to six month in jail. There are also opportunities for diversion or for community service for those convicted. He supports this legislation, which goes a long way toward awareness and education regarding this issue. Mr. Lecklider asked Chief Epperson to respond to information in the materials provided. Part of the survey implies that there is some type of uneven enforcement of the law. This is a constant challenge for the Police and the City. His observations indicate this is not the case. Chief Epperson responded that often, Police are notified of parties via an anonymous call. After investigation, there are sometimes charges resulting. But due to the nature of the tip, it is impossible to notify them that an arrest was made. The Police department is very assertive and aggressive in enforcing provisions regarding underage drinking. The communication about enforcement could be improved, and they will try to do so via the website. He added that the Police department does receive a lot of cooperation from parents when they are following up on a complaint. This change in the law will be helpful in circumstances when the property owner is not cooperative. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher noted that she is appreciative of the efforts of Council Members Salay and Gerber on this issue. She looks forward to hearing testimony in support at the May 4 meeting. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the May 4 Council meeting. Ordinance 21-09 Authorizing the Provision of Economic Development Incentives to Dimension Service Corporation to Induce the Retention of its Workforce within the City of Dublin, and Authorizing the Execution of an Economic Development Agreement. Mr. Lecklider introduced the ordinance. Ms. Gilger stated that Dimension Service Corporation is currently located at Metro Place North, and their existing lease is close to expiration. They approached the City about potentially remaining in Dublin, and they have considered office space in both Hilliard and Columbus. Staff is bringing forward a proposal for an incentive of three years, allowing for a 20 percent return equivalent on withholdings collected- The incentive is performance based. This company is a third-party administrator for the vehicle industry, and facilitates roadside assistance for dealerships as well as warranty programs on used vehicles. They employ 120 people. Company representatives will be present at the second reading to respond to questions. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher asked Ms. Grigsby if Council could have a cumulative report regarding incentives given over the past three years, and their current status. There will be a second reading/public hearing at the May 4 Council meeting. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin_City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 5 INTRODUCTION/PUBLIC HEARING -RESOLUTIONS Resolution 17-09 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the 2009 Sidewalk Maintenance Program. Ms. Salay introduced the resolution. Mr. Hammersmith reported that six bids were opened on March 10. The bids were publicly read and then reviewed by staff. The Engineer's estimate for the project was $125,000, consistent with annual CIP programming for this project. The lowest and best bid was submitted by G&G Cement Contractors LLC in the amount of $87,872.60, which represents a $37,000 reduction from the estimate. This year's program includes sidewalks along Frantz Road, Earlington Parkway, and within the subdivisions of Kerry Glen and the Woods of Indian Run. Predominantly, the program addresses sidewalks damaged by tree root heaving. Staff will continue to do street tree root pruning working with the Parks & Open Space staff, in an effort to preserve trees wherever possible. Staff recommends acceptance of the bid. The work is expected to begin in the spring and will be completed before the start of the school year. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher asked him to provide information regarding the status of the pilot program for rubberized sidewalk replacement, which was included in the packet. Mr. Hammersmith provided an update regarding the experimental rubberized sidewalk replacement program. For the reasons outlined in the memo, staff is not recommending this rubberized sidewalk replacement alternative be used in the future. Ms. Salay stated that in view of the cost of replacing a mature tree, she would prefer having a rubberized sidewalk replacement -even if the costs of this product are higher as outlined in the memo. Trees are a very valuable resource. Mr. Hammersmith responded that staff is recommending that the replacements be done with concrete instead of the rubberized product. Staff will continue to do root pruning as needed and better understands how much root can safely be removed. The root pruning and concrete replacement is considered a more viable option for the future. Mr. Gerber noted that he has heard negative feedback regarding the rubberized material related to color, durability, and heat of the surface in the summer. He is pleased that the City is returning to using concrete product. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher recalled that the issue of concern to the citizens was the pruning. Mr. Hammersmith responded that two years ago, the City's guideline was if 30 percent of the trunk diameter and root material were removed, the tree would have to be removed because it would no longer be structurally stable. There was some testing of trees done on Rushwood Drive in relation to the impact of root removal. Mr. Lecklider noted that the ultimate objective was to preserve trees, and for the reasons outlined -including costs - he supports this recommendation. He recalls a Saturday morning call a couple of years ago about work commencing at 7 a.m. He suggested that the communication about work being done include the fact that the work could occur six days per week beginning at 7 a.m., depending upon the schedule for the project. Mr. Hammersmith responded that weekend work would be done if a weather delay occurred and an unsafe condition existed on the project. Staff employs multiple communication tools to inform the residents impacted by a project. Vote on the Resolution: Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. OTHER • Discussion re. Jerome Township, Sanitary Sewer Service Areas Mr. Foegler reported that a number of issues and actions have transpired in regard to sewer service to an area immediately northwest of Dublin over the past few months. He will update Council on this, and also will be requesting specific action from Council later tonight. He noted the following: • The City of Marysville took action to request a permit to install (PTI) for sewer service on two parcels located on the northeast quadrant of SR 161 and US 33. The Ohio EPA has issued those permits to install. As part of an action taken in early April, the Union County Commissioners also took action to designate the City RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin_City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 6 of Marysville as the utility service provider for those two parcels over Dublin's objection. • The City of Dublin has also submitted permit to install applications to the Ohio EPA and will be pursuing the issuance of those. • Staff will request formal action of Council tonight, but several aspects of this relate to pending legal matters and will be discussed in executive session later tonight. He offered to respond to any questions of Council or the public at this time. Mr. Lecklider noted that the newspaper reported a Union County Commissioner as stating that part of his rationale for voting to award service to the City of Marysville was due to the fact that the Ohio EPA had already approved their PTI application, and Dublin's is still pending. He called Mr. Hammersmith regarding whether or not Dublin's PTI could be approved as well. He asked staff to comment. Mr. Hammersmith responded that the issue is whether there could be two PTIs approved. Staff has no reason to believe the Ohio EPA would not necessarily approve two PTIs, although they may be competing. He believes the Commissioner's statement was a personal opinion. He is not aware of a legal basis for this opinion. Mr. Foegler added that staff is hopeful that there would be factors other than which entity first secured the permit to install that would weigh into the consideration of what entity is in the best position to provide service to an area. STAFF COMMENTS Ms. Salay noted that she received an e-mail regarding the status of the Monterey Commons project and any Code enforcement efforts regarding existing properties near the corner of Monterey and Bridge Street. She asked that staff provide a memo so she can respond to the resident. Mr. Foegler responded that staff will follow up. There is pending Code enforcement action on this properties. Mr. Lecklider asked about the information provided by Mr. Hahn and Ms. Chope in regard to ash borer treatment for some ash trees in the City at particular locations. What concerned him is the need to notify the residents on the streets where ash trees will be removed. There are 25 trees to be removed on Park Mill Drive in Park Place, and a total of 16 on both Wiltshire Drive and Brand Road in the Meadows of Wyndham Village. There are 31 in Ballantrae and 23 in Belvedere to be removed. He asked that the rationale for the City's action be shared with the residents. Mr. Foegler responded that he will ensure this notification takes place. COUNCIL ROUND TABLE/COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Manor Chinnici-Zuercher: 1. Asked if Ms. Grigsby could provide an update regarding the City's financial position, as outlined in the memo in the packet. Ms. Grigsby stated that during the operating budget workshops, Council requested that staff provide quarterly updates regarding the financial position. In March, staff met with the Finance Committee to review reports for January and February of 2009. The memo in the packet provides an update for the first quarter of 2009. It reflects that the income tax revenues are down three percent compared with last year for the same period. She outlined various steps staff has taken since last year in monitoring expenditures, i.e. not filling vacant positions, resulting in the general fund balance remaining well within the target balance established. The fund balance at the end of March is actually up $800,000 over the year of 2008. Although there is concern with income tax revenues being down, the City remains in good financial position in terms of overall revenues and overall expenditures. Staff monitors income tax revenues on a daily basis and will examine the information further to better understand the reasons for the decreases, and whether they will continue throughout the year. Staff will provide those updates throughout the year. Mr. Gerber acknowledged staff for the excellent job they are doing in monitoring expenses and for vigilant oversight. 3. Asked about the memo in the packet regarding the veterinary clinic at Tuller and Riverside Drive. When a temporary occupancy permit is issued for a project still RECORD OF PROCEED[NGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 7 under construction and they are given six months to obtain a permanent occupancy certificate, what are they required to do in that six-month time period? Ms. Readier responded that in this situation, the City cannot hold them accountable because the permits were issued by the State of Ohio -not the City of Dublin. Construction commenced before annexation to Dublin, and so the State of Ohio maintains jurisdiction throughout the process. Dublin's Building department has contacted the Ohio Building department, who indicates everything is on track and proceeding. In the pre- annexation agreement, there are requirements to be met regarding landscaping and signage, 30 days after completion of construction. Staff has contacted the owner regarding these requirements, indicating staff's opinion is that construction is culminating regardless of the occupancy status, and that the owner needs to move forward on the completion of the requirements in the pre-annexation agreement. Engineering has contacted the owner regarding removal of some debris left in the right-of-way. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher responded that the City will need to remain vigilant on the items within its authority, due to the high visibility of the site. 4. Commented in regard to the Hyland-Croy Character Study. As the City moves to the public meeting phase, staff should share with the public what has been learned to date in terms of conditions to be addressed moving forward. There have been problems in the past where public meetings are held and it is suggested/implied they are an open forum, even though the City was already aware of some conditions to be addressed moving forward. It is always helpful to the public to have this information, as they deliberate and share their recommendations with the City. 5. Reported that she attended the MORPC Board meeting last week, but there are no major updates to share at this time. 6. Pointed out that a business owner in Historic Dublin, Linda Kick of "Our CupCakery" will be recognized this week by the SBA as a Successful Small Business Award winner for the State of Ohio. 7. Noted that the calendar includes a May 11 study session, but because of the Council goal setting on May 14 and 15t", she recommends Council consider canceling this session. Mr. Gerber moved to cancel the May 11 study session. Ms. Salay seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. 8. Congratulated Mack Parkhill for being named Grand Marshal of the Dublin Independence Parade on July 4tni 9. Asked for an update on the status of the entertainment for the July 4`h event at Dublin Coffman High School. Ms. Puskarcik responded that the contract is not yet signed, but the goal is to have this completed within a couple of days and a public announcement will then be made. 10. Had the opportunity on Friday evening to welcome a regional conference of the Soroptimist group - a women's group which does volunteer work to benefit girls and women. A surprise guest to their evening was "Rosie the Riveter" of World War II fame, who is alive and well in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. She was surprised to have become an icon for many venues over the decades, and expressed her interest in learning at the conference. It was exciting to have her visit Dublin. ADJOURNMENT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher moved to adjourn to executive session at 8:13 p.m. for discussion of legal matters (to confer with an attorney for the public body concerning disputes involving the public body that are the subject of pending or imminent court action) and land acquisition matters (to consider the purchase of property for public purposes). Ms. Salay seconded the motion. Vote on the motion: Mr. Gerber, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher noted that following the executive session, Council is expected to reconvene to take action in regard to the Jerome Township sewer service issue. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes ~f Dublin City Council Meeting April 20, 2009 Page 8 Mr. Keenan arrived at the meeting and joined the executive session. The meeting was reconvened at 8:54 p.m. Members present were Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, Ms. Salay, Mr. Keenan, and Mr. Gerber. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher noted that Mr. Lecklider is abstaining from this matter and is therefore not present. Mr. Keenan moved to authorize the City Manager to take the following actions, as he deems appropriate: • Appeal to the Environmental Review Appeals Commission (ERAC) the actions of the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) for issuance of permits to install (PTI) to the City of Marysville for PTI Application Nos. 704981 and 704982, dated March 25 and 26, 2009, respectively. • Re-evaluate the timing of the interchange and other infrastructure improvements for this area, for consideration of possible delays and deferrals of these improvements within the City's five-year Capital Improvement Program. • Continue to work in cooperation with the City of Columbus on the ERAC Appeal, the review and revisions of the State 208 Plan, and any other issues that affect the City of Dublin's interest in this area. • Take all further action that may be necessary and proper to protect the rights of Dublin citizens, implement the community plan and cause economically viable development to occur in this area. Ms. Salay seconded the motion. Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher noted that it is imperative that Council approve this motion due to the lack of cooperation of the other jurisdictions in this area and the property owners in working more effectively in partnership with the City of Dublin. Vote on the motion: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. Gerber, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mayor Chinnici- Zuercher, yes. meeting was adjourned at 8:57 p.m. Mayor -Presiding Officer ~~~ Clerk of Council
