Re: Ordinance No. 14-25 – Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2025 (Q2)
Summary
This Ordinance amends the annual appropriations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, to
provide supplemental funding in certain budget accounts. The following sections provide descriptions
of the appropriations contained within each section of the Ordinance and the reason for the request.
Section 1 - Requests $150,000 in appropriations for Engineering from the unencumbered fund
balance of the Perimeter West TIF Fund. The Hyland Croy Road Improvements Project (ST23C06)
bid was accepted by Council in July 2023 with an awarded bid of $3,511,541.25. This project is
administered by Dublin and includes a project funding agreement with Union County. Construction
of the project has been completed, and the project is being finalized. As such, additional change
orders for the project work were encumbered in 2025, resulting in new funds being required from
the TIF. Portions of these increased costs will be paid back to the City by Union County through the
cost-sharing agreement.
Section 2 - Requests $48,137 in appropriations for Transportation & Mobility from the
unencumbered fund balance of the General Fund. This appropriation is offset by a refund from Loeb
Electric due to multiple payments made to Loeb Electric by insurance companies following incidents
that damaged City-owned property. Loeb Electric did not order the related products before the order
window expired; therefore, they issued a refund to the City for the value of those unpurchased
items. These refunds are needed to replenish the City’s streetlight inventory, which was depleted as
a result of the damage.
Section 3 - Requests $75,000 in appropriations for Parks from the unencumbered fund balance of
the Hotel Motel Fund to support further design development and material research, including studies
of precast concrete and alternative materials such as 3D-printed concrete and fiberglass. Based on
this research, along with rising material costs and longer fabrication lead times, the project budget
and timeline have been updated.

At its meeting on November 4, 2024, City Council approved Resolution 56-24, authorizing the City
Manager to enter into a contract with artist Ivan Depeña for the design, construction, and installation
of the Muirfield Art in Public Places project, titled “S/WING.” The artwork will be located at the
northeast corner of Muirfield Drive and Whittingham Drive. The original contract called for a 14- to
16-foot-tall precast concrete structure, with a budget of $175,000 and a completion date of March
2026.
On April 7, 2025, City Council confirmed the preferred material as precast concrete at the original
height of 14–16 feet. This option increases the total project cost by $75,000, bringing the new
budget to $250,000.
Section 4 - Requests $135,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the
General Fund and $273,853.04 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the Capital
Improvements Construction Fund for additional 2024 property taxes related to the SportsOhio
properties. Initially, the City budgeted for a prorated amount based on the anticipated transfer of
ownership in September 2024. Tax-exempt applications have been filed for the relevant parcels.
Once approved, the City should not receive property tax bills in the future for these parcels.
Section 5 – Requests $610,200 and $8,388,200 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund
balance of the General Fund for payments to the Water and Sewer funds for interest on manuscript
debt and a transfer to the General Debt Service fund for payment of principal and interest on short-
term notes associated with the acquisition of the SportsOhio, Carter Farms and Shepherd Excavating
parcels. The manuscript debt issued $11.0 million from the Water Fund and $4.255 million from the
Sewer Fund, with the following debt service schedule.
A short-term note totaling $12.705 million was also issued as part of the financing plan for the
purchase. This note is due on August 28, 2025. This payment consists of a partial principal payment
of $7,880,000 and $508,200 in interest. The city plans to issue a new short-term note for the
remaining balance of $4.865 million later this year.
