Citizen Comments
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road commented on the density of the proposed golf
course development in relation to the Rockford Home development. The Edwards
development will provide 1,107 dwelling units; the Rockford development involves 143
dwelling units, housing a total of 1,250 families. When the 209 acres for the golf course
is subtracted, that will leave 450 acres of land for those homes. With a minimum of 2.5
cars per family, there is an estimated increase of3,135 cars in the neighborhood. He
suggested that if Dublin is interested in high-density residential developments, it should
use the residential development at River Park as a model. There are hundreds of homes,
no two homes are alike, and they are no further apart than 215 feet. There is a golf
course development which includes a lake. The development is extremely attractive and
would give validity to the argument in support of high-density housing. Dublin should
be able to assure that type of quality in a neighborhood.
Cindy Hide Pittaluga. 4281 MacDuff Place reported to Council on the recent Juvenile
Offender Mental Health Assistance Summit held in Oklahoma City on June 1st, hosted
by the National League of Cities (NLC) and the Public Safety and Crime Prevention
Steering Committee. In 1999, the Public Safety and Crime Prevention Policy
Committee recognized that mental health assistance for the country's troubled youth is at
a crisis level. To that end, the Committee passed a resolution to encourage the early
identification, diagnosis, and mental health treatment for juvenile offenders. Municipal
policymakers typically do not implement national programs, but in this case, the Public
Safety and Crime Prevention Committee endorsed further effort. The Summit
recognized that there is a need for cross collaboration among community groups,
including education, health, justice and other systems. Officially, she announced the
launching of an initiative from Dublin with the assistance of Dublin's CMHC Systems,
the country's largest provider of clinical expert technology in the fields of behavioral
health, public health, and managed care. Their goal will be to compile model diversion
".........,.. programs for the detection and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders with mental disorders,
and to change admissions criteria to juvenile detention facilities from arbitrary decisions
to rational ones. The nonprofit mission will also serve as a clearinghouse through which
best practices will be featured for use by cities, counties, and states throughout the
country. She will report back in the fall on the next phase ofthe development. It is her
hope that Dublin will play an active role in the future, and that they will continue to
inspire the corporate and individual community leadership needed in this undertaking.
Mayor Kranstuber thanked Ms. Pittaluga and requested that a copy of the
recommendations ofthe Summit be forwarded to City Council when completed.
Ken Trippel. 6378 Dan Sherri Avenue brought to Council's attention difficulties they are
experiencing with surrounding construction projects to the south and west, and another
immediately to the north. Dan Sherri residents are concerned about road construction

traffic in their area. They were assured that their road would be closed until the proj ect
was complete, so that construction traffic would not use it. However, this past Friday,
several semi trucks came in with road construction equipment and set the "road closed"
-, barrier aside. Some residents confronted the drivers, and the police were contacted.
Apparently, the residents of Kendall Ridge do not want construction traffic on their
streets, and so the drivers are being routed through the Dan Sherri subdivision. He has
contacted Council Member Peterson about this situation.
Mr. Peterson responded that he received several calls from Dan Sherri residents over the
weekend, and he contacted Mr. Kindra this morning. Mr. Kindra visited the site
immediately and approved the relocation of the barriers. He also contacted the Police
division and made them aware ofthe fact that the road closure was done as part of an
agreement during the rezoning for the Kendall Ridge development, and no construction
traffic is permitted through Dan Sherri.
Mr. Kindra added that he left a message with the Police division to eliminate future
confusion on this matter.
Lt. Von Ekartsberg noted that the Police are aware of this situation, and will enforce the
agreement accordingly.
Special Recot:nition
Chris Burkhart. Communications Technician presented the City's first 911 Hero Award
to Conner Feldman. Conner, who is seven years old, was confronted earlier this year
with the unexpected absence of his parents when he arrived home after school and the
fact that his sister failed to get off the bus. He called 911 and provided accurate
- information to the dispatcher regarding the fact that he was home alone and that his
sister was possibly missing. The situation was resolved quickly.
He explained that at the beginning ofthis year, the Police Division conducted a study of
the 911 hang-up calls that are received. A large number ofthose were accidentally sent
by children. The 911 Hero Award is an attempt to recognize children who are aware of
the proper use of911 and who have demonstrated the proper use of the system in an
emergency situation.
Staff Comments

LEGISLATION
PUBLIC HEARING/SECOND READING - ORDINANCES
Ordinance 77-00 - An Ordinance Amending Sections 2A and B (Wage and Salary
Structure/Administration) of the Compensation Plan.
Mr. Harding reported that an Administrative Committee of the Whole meeting was held
on Wednesday, June 14 to review this amendment to the City's compensation plan. The
amendment was generated in response to the recent turnover in City staff. Staff recently
completed a compensation survey of 13 other selected cities, gathering wage and salary
data on 41 benchmark positions. Results of the survey indicated that Dublin's
compensation plan should be amended to place the City in a more competitive posture
-- and enable the City to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Staff's
recommendation to Council adjusts the City's wage and salary structure by nine percent.
This adjustment will move Dublin from the 60-65th percentile pay philosophy to
approximately the 80th percentile. The amendment also provides for the reassignment of
several positions to higher pay grades. As part of this project, employees will be
positioned within their new pay range based upon their relative qualifications. This
amendment affects 180 non-union employees. Staff believes this will significantly assist
the City in attracting and retaining highly qualified, effective employees.
Mrs. Boring suggested that a method of monitoring the effectiveness be implemented.
She suggested a survey of the department heads to solicit feedback.
Mr. Harding responded that the effectiveness will be evident by the turnover rate within
the next six months. If there is no turnover for compensation reasons, this amendment

will be assumed to be adequate. At the beginning of each year, staff submits to City
Council a plan for minor adjustments to the compensation plan, i.e., addition of new
positions authorized in the budget or positions that are reassigned in the pay grade
,.--., system.
Mr. McCash inquired if the practice has been to amend the plan every three years to
make cost of living adjustments.
Mr. Harding responded that the last major amendment to the compensation plan was
done in 1995-96. He considers it a good practice to do an overall compensation study
and amend the plan every three to five years in order to keep the pay ranges in line with
the marketplace. Traditionally, every other year, staffhas submitted some adjustments
to the pay structure. There will be a concentrated effort to maintain a competitive wage
structure for the City.
Mr. McCash noted that some employees are already at the top of their range and
ineligible for raises. Therefore, increases in the cost of living adversely affect people in
this situation. How will this be addressed?
Mr. Harding responded that recently, the cost of living increase has been approximately
two percent per year, so the every other year range adjustments have adequately
addressed these situations. However, Council can revisit that policy and request that
staff brings compensation plan adjustments every year, ifthat is the consensus.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher suggested that the exit interview format be revised to provide a
----. method of ranking the reasons for leaving the City's employment. This would help
Council to better gauge the impact of salaries on attrition.

Boring, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes.
Ordinance 83-00(Amended) - An Ordinance Authorizing the Provision of Certain
Incentives for Purposes of Encouraging the Expansion within the City by
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, within
the City, Which Include Declaring Improvements to a Certain Parcel of Real
Property to be a Public Purpose, Describing the Public Infrastructure
Improvements to be Made to Benefit that Parcel, Requiring the owner Thereof to
Make Service Payments in Lieu of Taxes, Establishing a Municipal Public
Improvement Tax Increment Equivalent Fund for the Deposit of Such Service
Payments, Authorizing the Execution of a Tax Increment Financing Agreement, an
Economic Development Agreement and a Capacity Lease and Service Agreement
and Related Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Terminating the Provisions
for Additional Tax Exemptions within the Britton Parkway Community
Reinvestment Area, and Declaring an Emergency.
Mr. Stevens pointed out that there have been two minor changes since the first reading
- of the legislation. The first relates to contract employees; the second provides for a
possible extension at the end ofthis contract, subject to Council's approval, if
Nationwide is not capped out on the incentive. The incentive for Nationwide Insurance
to continue to expand its operations within the City of Dublin consists of a $29 million
package which, at this point, extends to 2016 with the opportunity for Council to
approve an additional three years. Entering into this agreement will enable Nationwide
to move employees within the year 2000 into the Parkwood II facility, and Duke-Weeks
will begin construction on the A TT or Lucent site of a 400,000 square foot building this
year, for occupancy by Nationwide in January, 2002. The agreement also includes some
non-financial incentives: a shuttle service provided for Nationwide employees and other
businesses along Tuttle Crossing and Emerald Parkway, and a DubLink agreement.
Further minor changes relate to the timing of payments on the incentives.
Ms. Grigsby explained that payments up to $29 million will be made over a IS-year

period, based upon Nationwide's performance in terms of income tax withholdings.
Two areas of discussion have been the provision of assistance to Nationwide for
relocation and moving expenses. The City has agreed to accelerate the payment
r--. scheduled for April 15, 2002 to December 1, 2001 - four months earlier. A portion of
the payment due April 15 will be made on December 1, 2002, with the balance on April
15,2003. Based upon current projections, the new withholding income tax is estimated
to be $93 million over this period oftime. With the TIFs and the additional income tax
revenues, the City is anticipating a net benefit to the City of $78 million.
Mr. Hansley added that, although this is the most significant inducement agreement the
City has entered into, it has the largest potential for revenue for the City. This will
benefit the school system, as well.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road asked for clarification of the benefit to the City in
providing Nationwide a $29 million tax incentive.
Ms. Grigsby explained that there are two components of this agreement. The economic
development agreement is with Nationwide; the tax increment financing agreement is
with Duke-Weeks. Duke-Weeks will construct the facilities that Nationwide will lease
from them. The TIF agreement provides that the incremental increase on the non-school
portion of real estate taxes will be paid to the City for the public infrastructure
improvements needed.
Mr. Hansley added that the revenues are given to the City in lieu of taxes and the City
then uses these funds to build the roads. After the road is built, the money reverts to its
original purpose. Without the incentive, however, the development may not happen
- until a later date or not at all.
Mr. McCash, referring to Section II A(2), Independent Contractors, inquired: (1) Does
this refer to full-time independent contractors, and (2) How will the City verify from the
1099 form if they have actually paid that income tax to the City of Dublin?
Ms. Grigsby responded that the City will review the tax records of the company they
contract with. Verification will be received from that company via their withholding
reconciliation that is filed annually. If it is an individual, the City can verify that the
individual paid their tax via the 1099 filing.
Mr. McCash inquired about Section III B, Recreation Center, which states that the City
Recreation Center will be available to the Nationwide facility employees at the same
cost as that of other corporate employees within the City. Isn't that a regular practice?
Ms. Grigsby responded affirmatively.
Mr. McCash inquired if there is an estimate of the cost of traffic management
improvements related to Section III C.
Ms. Grigsby responded that the traffic study is not completed, so an estimate of the full
cost is not available. However, those items are included in the TIF, and the assumption
- is that they will likely include a traffic signal and turn lanes. Based upon past projects,
those estimates were included in the TIF agreement, and will be supported by the
construction of the new facilities.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher inquired about the provision regarding the Recreation Center.
She receives many complaints regarding the overcrowding at the Recreation Center,
notwithstanding the Phase 2 addition, to the extent that many residents have indicated
they no longer participate. How will the City accommodate the increased usage by the
large number of employees that is expected to be added through this development? Are
there a certain percentage of employees estimated to participate?
Ms. Grigsby responded that no specific number is used, but the corporate customer does
not constitute a large portion of the overall base of users of the facility. Primarily, this is
because their pass has more restrictive hours.

Council Round Table/Committee Reports
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher. Public Services Committee Chair pointed out that the minutes of
the Committee meeting of June 7 were included in the packets. Also included were
copies ofletters sent by the City to Mr. Kelley, owner ofthe Shoppes at Athenry and a
copy of the Law Director's opinion regarding disapproval of future building permits due
to unresolved zoning violations. At that committee meeting, a request was made to staff
~ to report tonight on the status ofthe violations.
Mr. Smith reported that a couple of items have been resolved by Mary Kelley's, but the
remainder has not. Mary Kelley's has received a letter of notice to the effect that legal
action will be taken if those items are not brought into compliance by June 22. He
pointed out that a time extension to July 1 was given for the temporary sign, so that item
would not be cited; everything else would be included in the citation. Following the
June 22 deadline, Mr. Smith will provide a report to Council on the status of this
complaint.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that another meeting of the Committee will be scheduled
to discuss any needed changes to the special events ordinance as discussed at a previous
Council meeting. The Irish Festival is scheduled to take place in early August, so it does
not seem feasible to enact any legislation prior to that time.

Mr. McCash responded that Council, however, could provide policy direction to staff
within this timeframe.
--. Mr. Hansley noted that clarification of Council's previous direction is needed. At the
last discussion, a consensus of Council was not reached regarding the need to amend the
ordinance or to modify the administrative policy. He asked if Council would prefer that
staff draft an ordinance as a starting point for this discussion.
The Clerk indicated that the minutes from a previous Council meeting reflect that the
Public Services Committee was to review the policies for special event permits.
Mayor Kranstuber inquired ifit is the consensus of Council that the Public Services
Committee reviews the present administrative policy with the intent of drafting an
ordinance for review by Council.
Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the Committee is not knowledgeable about the City's
current administrative policy for special event permits and will review that thoroughly as
the first step. Following that review, a recommendation would be made either to adhere
to the current policy, to clarify the current policy, or to adopt formal legislation. The
committee members will schedule that meeting in the next couple of weeks.
Mr. Adamek:
1. Pointed out a memo in Council packets from Ms. Puskarcik regarding the
discovery of a time capsule to be opened in 2000.
,--. Ms. Puskarcik explained that at the Memorial Tournament this year, the wife of former
Mayor Dixon brought to staffs attention the fact that there was a time capsule buried
twenty-five years ago that was to be opened at the Tournament in year 2000. It was too
late to fulfill that expectation, but the site was located. Presently, it is unclear ifit is a
City or a Muirfield Village time capsule. The Clerk's office searched the records from
that time period and found no record of a time capsule. The plaque marking the site has
been located, but the site has not been opened. Ms. Puskarcik stated that the expectation
is for a public unveiling. That could be made part of the Fourth of July festivities or
accomplished later this year at a community event.
Council consensus was that the schedule for the Fourth of July celebration is too full to
add another portion.
Ms. Puskarcik responded that, in the meantime, staff will seek to identify who buried the
time capsule so that the expectation of unveiling this year can be met.
2. Referred to a memo to Council regarding special circumstances involving the
Gelpi property. Staff is looking for Council direction regarding any action to
rezone the property.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to exempt the Gelpi property from Council's informal policy
that City-owned land is subject to the same rezoning process as are other applicants.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.
~~ Mr. McCash inquired if confirmation has been received from the East Dublin Civic
Association and the citizens ofthat area that all the issues have been satisfied.
Mr. Smith responded that staff is contacting all the neighbors, and is currently working
out a landscaping issue with one neighbor.
Mr. Hahn noted that staffhas indicated to all the neighbors that the City will work with
them on any concerns regarding landscaping or lighting.
Mrs. Boring noted that she has heard only positive comments from the residents of her
ward regarding the location ofthe Arts Center on this property.
Mr. Hansley noted that Michael Keenan, Council's representative to the Dublin Arts
Council has met with the neighbors and is working to resolve any issues. However,
residents will likely look to City Council to resolve any remaining issues with the Arts
Council's use of this property.

3. Noted the letter from the Dublin City School District to Mr. McDaniel thanking
the City for their assistance during the recent graduation events.
4. Inquired if the proposal regarding the Wyandotte Woods tree waiver will be
scheduled on the July 10th agenda.
Mr. Hansley indicated that the memo in the packet was premature. There was some
misunderstanding regarding this issue, and he apologized for the confusion. Staff plans
to address the City's concerns in a meeting involving the Services, Finance and Planning
divisions.
Mayor Kranstuber noted that his understanding is that the purpose of the tree
preservation ordinance was to discourage development of heavily wooded areas. This
waiver request does not seem in keeping with the spirit of the ordinance.
Mr. Hansley agreed.
5. Reminded Council that the annual Dublin Kiwanis frog jump takes place on
Saturday, June 24.
Mr. Peterson thanked Mr. Kindra for resolving the road construction traffic problem on
Dan Sherri.
Mayor Kranstuber:
1. Noted that he had discussed with Ms. Puskarcik the possibility of a memorial for
former Mayors Dixon and Karrer, jointly or individually. He asked about the status of
~ the staff research on the proposal made at goal setting for a Memorial Park at Shawan
Falls or another location.
Mr. McCash noted that former Recreation Director Janet Jordan had some preliminary
sketches of some type of memorial for Shawan Falls. Those sketches could be used as a
starting point for discussion.
Mrs. Boring noted that the City of Kettering has a memorial park where trees can be
purchased and a plaque added in memory of a public official. She added that the City
has received several requests for memorials, and she encourages that a program be
developed to meet that need.
Ms. Puskarcik and Mr. Hahn will work together to develop some options for Council
consideration.
2. Suggested that opening the time capsule could be coordinated with the Dublin
Historical Society at the Coffman House, perhaps preceding a Council meeting.
3. Suggested a simple rezoning of the north side of Post Road between 161 and
270, either with an overlay district or rezoned to Suburban Office. His understanding is
that the existing zoning of the land, which is presently being considered for use by the
-- Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau, would allow a variety of uses, including a car
dealership with the submission of a building permit. He suggested that Council initiate a
rezoning of that property to Suburban Office and that a first reading be scheduled for the
next Council meeting.
Mr. Smith responded that Council does have the right under the Charter to initiate a
rezoning of any property in Dublin. He asked for clarification of the area to be rezoned
- would it include all of the parcels in that area, or just the one on which the current
building sits which has been discussed to house the DCVB offices.
Mayor Kranstuber responded the rezoning would be for the entire site along the north
side of Post, between 161 and 1-270.
Mayor Kranstuber then moved that all the properties on the north side of Post Road,
from 161 to 1-270 be rezoned Suburban Office, and that this ordinance be introduced at

the July 10 Council meeting.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Peterson,
- yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes.
i Mayor Kranstuber requested that this be placed on the July 10 Council agenda and also
scheduled for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting agenda in July.
Mr. McCash asked if Council also desires to extend the Corridor Development District
that exists on Sawmill to include the areas along S.R. 161 out to the Post Road exit at the
westerly border of Dublin.
Hearing no objection, Mr. McCash moved to have staff research the possibility of
extending the current Corridor Development District to include properties along 33/161
out to the Post Road exit at the westerly border of Dublin.
Mr. Reiner seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes;
Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes.
Mr. Smith clarified that this motion relates to all properties along S.R. 33/161, from
Sawmill Road to A very Road, both the north and south sides - extended to the westerly
border of Dublin.
Mrs. Boring inquired if a variance for a sign code in a CCD District is required to be
reviewed by Planning and Zoning rather than by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
~ Mr. Smith responded that by law, an applicant has the right to apply to the Board of
Zoning Appeals for this variance. His understanding of the case in question is that the
Planning and Zoning Commission determined that the sign package was reasonable and
endorsed the concept to BZA.
Mr. McCash noted that he was on Planning and Zoning at the time the case was heard
and does not believe they endorsed such a sign package.
Mr. Smith will review the minutes to determine if the correct process was followed and
will forward a memo of his findings to Mrs. Boring.
4. Referred to a request from Community Entertainment Group regarding the
availability and potential use of the City-owned land at the southeast comer ofHouchard
Road and S.R. 161 for an upscale entertainment center.
Mr. Hansley stated that this relates to the site originally purchased for the soccer
stadium One option would be to pursue the opportunity for a sale, and another option
would be to rezone the land for that type of use and seek requests for proposals from
possible developers. This request from Community Entertainment Group indicates that
there is a definite market for that property that far exceeds the City's purchase price. No
action is needed from Council at this time.
-
5. Proposed that consideration be given to development of a second or even third
outdoor pool. He requested information from staff regarding: (1) options for locations
for a second or third pool; (2) a recommendation regarding timing for a second or third
pool; (3) an update on the memberships sold this year, and of that, the number that are
non-residents; and (4) estimated costs of construction of another City pool.
Although this is a capital improvement item, he has received significant public comment
regarding the need for an additional pool. He noted that four or five years ago when
overcrowding became a concern, the City capped the pool memberships at 3,100 and
raised non-resident fees. However, non-residents then came as daily admissions. A
further restriction was imposed that daily admissions had to be residents.
Mr. Hansley responded that the cost of the existing municipal pool was $1.2 million, but
construction of a pool today would far exceed that cost. He added that the City will have

difficulty in budgeting the items already included in this year's proposed ClP. Staffwill
compile the estimated costs for an additional outdoor pool so that Council has that
information as well. One of the issues which relates to the overcrowding is that the City
"...... fees for membership are lower than the market, and the City is subsidizing the costs of
the pool. One way to reduce the capital costs would be to build the next pool on City-
owned land, perhaps at the new golf course development or at Darree Fields or other
City property. However, the cost of operation is a key expense aside from the capital
costs.
Mayor Kranstuber responded that even though the project must be deferred at this point,
he would like to know that there is a specific plan and location targeted.
Mr. Hansley responded that the last in-depth discussion on this topic was at a goal
setting session. It focused on the northeast quad and involved a proposal to build a pool
in cooperation with the City of Columbus. Dublin would donate the land and Columbus
would then construct the pool.
Mayor Kranstuber moved to direct staff to provide the following: (1) a list of possible
sites, including City-owned parkland, for a second or third outdoor pool; (2)
recommended time line for construction of a second or third outdoor pool; (3) an update
on the current membership of the Dublin Municipal Pool (including the number of
memberships sold, percentages of resident and non-resident memberships, and number
of daily passes sold); (4) estimated costs for a second outdoor pool; and (5) an update on
the proposed joint park and pool development with Columbus in the northeast quad.
Mr. Adamek seconded the motion.

yes; Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes.
5. Commented on a recent article in the OML Legislative Bulletin regarding a case
involving the implementation of impact fees by the City of Beaver creek. The Supreme
Court decision was 4-3 in favor of the City.
Mr. Reiner requested that a copy ofthe findings be faxed to Council for informational
purposes.
Mr. Smith will direct a memo to Council including that information.
The Clerk inquired if any Council members had vacations planned that would conflict
with the Council meetings scheduled for July 10, 24, and August 14.
Council responded that they had no conflict with the meeting dates as scheduled.
Mayor Kranstuber adjourned the meeting at 10:20 p.m.
