PROCLAMATION
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that Dublin participated for the first time in "Make a
Difference Day" - a national service day sponsored by the Points of Light
Foundation and USA Weekend. Ms. Nardecchia, Volunteer Administrator devised
an excellent program to honor the families in Dublin whose loved ones are serving
in the military. The program offered an opportunity to send letters and cards and to
purchase gift cards to be sent to military families. The Ohio National Guard has
assisted in this effort, and Sergeants Arent and Becker accepted the 1,152 cards
and letters and $1,200 in gift cards on behalf of the Ohio National Guard.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road commented that:
1. His feelings have been hurt by comments made by Mrs. Boring and Mr.
Reiner. They expressed surprise upon seeing him on the Dublin bikeway
in view of his months of commentary regarding the bikeway construction.
2. The smoking ordinance is on tonight's agenda, and he will make
additional comments regarding that item at the appropriate time.
3. He attended the international exposition at Vets Memorial last Sunday for
only an hour, but visited eight international presentations. He will take
this up with Ms. Puskarcik at a later time. A commonality among all
participants was the desire to talk, and he gained valuable insight into the
countries. Given the experience with the Irish Festival and the fact that
the machinery is in place to turn this City into an international city, he
would suggest adding one additional festival once a month.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher suggested that he take these ideas to Ms. Puskarcik.
Mrs. Boring clarified that she is actually delighted to see people using the bikepath
- her comments were misinterpreted by Mr. Maurer.
LEGISLATION
SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

NO SMOKING LEGISLA TlON
Ordinance 52-04 (Amended)
Amending Chapter 94 (Health and Sanitation) of the Dublin City Code by
Amending and Enacting New Sections Which Prohibit Smoking in Public
Places and Places of Employment.
Ms. Brautigam stated that Council has held two town meetings on this topic. At
the last meeting, Council had substantial discussion regarding several changes
which are now included in the amended legislation. Stephen Smith, Jr. is present
to respond to any questions on the amendments.
Brief discussion followed about the legislative process, and Ms. Brautigam
confirmed that the legislation was actually postponed until a date certain - not
tabled. It is therefore not necessary to remove the legislation from the table prior to
acting upon it.
Hearing no questions from Council about the legislation as amended, Mayor
Chinnici-Zuercher invited public testimony.
Kathy Mowery. 5835 Settlers Place. Dublin stated that she has two concerns -
passage of the smoking ban and having effective enforcement following passage.
She distributed documents from California - the first state to pass a statewide ban.
California based its need for a smoking ban on the research findings set forth in the
documents provided to Council. Smoking is the single most important source of
preventable disease in premature death in California; more than 30 percent of
coronary heart disease cases are attributable to cigarette smoking; more than 30
percent of all annual cancer deaths are attributable to smoking, with lung cancer
now the leading cancer killer in women as well as men; smoking is responsible for
- one quarter of all deaths caused by fire; involuntary smoking is a cause of disease.
including lung cancer, in healthy non-smokers; more than 80 percent of chronic
obstructive lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis are
attributable to smoking. Further, tobacco related disease places a tremendous
financial burden upon persons with the disease, their families, health care systems
and society as a whole. California had desired a statewide ban on smoking, but
due to the lack of support they began with local area support. Several years later,
they achieved a statewide ban. Some of the difficulties encountered by California
with enforcement are outlined in the materials. They included lack of adequate
funding, ineffective and illogical administration structure and low prioritization by
law enforcement. Successful enforcement has included a combination of health,
police and fire department personnel. Organized, well-funded and prompt
enforcement worked well. Posting signs and warnings did not lead to compliance.
They also found it necessary to fine both the owner and patrons of the
establishment who were in violation. Owners did not enforce the ordinance unless
they were penalized. They also found the need for undercover officers and
unannounced inspections. Another effective method was citizen reporting,
including a phone number tied to a full time inspection team. The City Council
passed a citizens reporting ordinance so that this technique could be used. Finally,
the state would sue business owners for non-compliance with the ban. They cited
engaging in unfair business practices and creating a public nuisance.
Toni Snedecor. 5699 C Briardale Court. Dublin thanked Council for their hard work
and dedication to this issue. She is looking forward to the freedom of using
Dublin's restaurants free from smoke. The question often asked is if smoking is a
civil right worth fighting for? She does not believe it is a civil right, as it is not a
right in the United States to hurt others. It is a reckless activity, which should be
stopped in order that everyone can live a healthier life in Dublin.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. Dublin:
1. Noted that there is an exemption for candles - this may have some
application to religious celebrations and it should be taken into account.

Mr. Keenan stated that the religious aspect is dealt with separately in the
ordinance.
2. The amended ordinance includes a mental state, thus eliminating strict
liability for the business subject in the ordinance. What is meant by a
"mental state" as used in this ordinance?
',w<.., ..,,., Mr. Smith responded that under the Columbus ordinance, which Dublin used as a
model, there is not a mental state for a violation of the ordinance. Any violation of
the ordinance, regardless of the circumstances, would require punishing the
business owner - even in an extreme situation where someone lit up a cigarette
and the owner immediately extinguished it. The fact that a cigarette was lit would
be considered a violation. Dublin has included a negligible mental state, which
makes the ordinance fairer to the business owners. If they take reasonable means
to prevent patrons from smoking, they would not be liable.
3. Regarding the private club exemption, no non-member will be allowed in
these clubs. Why are non-members excluded?
Mr. Smith stated that there is an exemption in the Code for private clubs, requiring
that such a club have a D4 liquor permit and that there must be no non-members
permitted to utilize the facility Therefore, if any non-member is permitted to utilize
the facility, they would not meet the requirements for the exemption and smoking
would be banned.
4. He asked about the inclusion of affirmative defenses and its definition.
Mr. Smith responded that the Code currently punishes the smoker and the
business owner. In order to address the fairness issues, if the prohibition is not
posted on a sign in the business, the affirmative defense provision would prevent
the patron from being held liable. This applies only in the circumstances when the
proprietor does not take the action required by Code to post the signage.
Mark Knowlton, 2637 Tucker Trail noted that he is the co-owner of Donerick's Pub
at 6711 Dublin Center Drive. For 6 years, they have provided an agreeable
environment for adults 21 and over to gather with business associates and friends
to enjoy games, beverages, food and smoking. Four years ago, they installed a
high-grade air cleaner out of respect for non-smoking patrons. The unit draws
particulates from the air through a charged ionic system. They believe this has
played a positive part in their business growth. Dublin has a history of innovation
and foresight on legislation to set acceptable standards and to improve the
community. However, the current proposed ban falls short of this by taking the
Columbus boilerplate ban on smoking and adding harsher non-compliance
penalties. Several adjacent communities have pushed one-sided legislation
through recently with little regard to the economic impact these smoking bans will
have on pub businesses. Dr. Crane has tried to wordsmith his way around this ban
topic by calling this legislation something other than a ban. This type of verbal
spin causes the lines to be drawn on smoking and makes it an all or nothing issue.
He suggested that this be called a "ban," and that the real issues be addressed
regarding the financial implications - not simply the ones that self serve the
professional lobbyists. The Smoke Free Coalition asks citizens to believe that the
smoking ban will not have a negative effect on business revenue. Recent history
shows this assertion is false as it relates to the bar and pub business. He urged
Council to consider compromises such as air cleaners or to adopt some of the
recently passed Toledo ban revisions before adopting any final legislation for
Dublin. He encouraged Council to consider the financial implications for pubs and
not allow the paid lobbyists to force an all or nothing situation on Dublin residents
as well as businesses.
Brian Bender, 5762 Berkshire Court, Dublin stated that he is a co-owner of
Donerick's Pub. He noted that he has an update on statistics he previously
provided to Council. Citizens for Common Sense, a group of individuals and
business owners recently received verification of the economic impact the Toledo
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

smoking ban has had on small businesses. A review by Ron W. Kuhn, CPA
reported that the smoking ban was directly responsible for a 25 percent decrease
in sales for the first 6 months of 2003 through the first half of 2004. Kuhn also
estimated the indirect economic impact of secondary costs resulted in a 24 percent
decrease in dollars and the direct economic impact of labors costs resulted in an
18 percent decrease in sales and the loss of 691 full time and part time jobs.
These are the same numbers they expect to see in Columbus times five, due to the
larger population. To say there is not an economic impact is to ignore the facts.
Due to the findings of this audit, Toledo has now proposed that bars/restaurants
with less than 35 percent food sales can have 50 percent of the bar as smoking.
Eric Silver. 6933 Ernest Way. Dublin stated that he hates the smell of cigarettes. In
his business, he often meets clients in bars or restaurants and must have clothes
cleaned to remove the smoke odors. All of that withstanding, he struggles with the
idea that a business owner cannot make his own choices in regard to the smoking
issue. As a non-smoker, he often patronizes restaurants with a non-smoking area.
If his needs cannot be accommodated, he goes elsewhere. He does not
understand why a business owner can't have an establishment, which
accommodates both smoking and non-smoking. He would prefer a rule that
requires business owners to take certain measures versus banning a legal
substance.
Claire Wolfe. M.D.. 5521 Indian Hill Road. Dublin stated that she is a physician, not
a lobbyist. She supports Council voting for the smoking ban in its current form.
One of government's most important jobs is to preserve and promote the general
welfare and health of its citizens. Scotland has just passed a national ban on
smoking in restaurants and pubs. Ireland has a national ban on smoking in its
pubs. She does not see that they have experienced a major negative impact. The
ill effects of smoking and costs of smoking have already been described to Council.
The Surgeon General's recent report indicates that there is no organ system that is
not affected by cigarette smoke, directly or passively. Even though there are
systems to filter the air, Legionnaire's disease still occurs in hospitals. There is no
absolute safe filter system. It is safer not to expose people to smoke, and the data
supports this as well as the inadequacy of filter systems. She is hopeful that
Council works for the public, works for the health of its citizens, works for the
majority of its people and enacts this ban.
Dr. Rob Crane. 5600 Dublin Road, Dublin thanked Council for all of their work on
this issue. He clarified that he is not a paid lobbyist, but a volunteer. He noted that
tonight in Centerville, Ohio the Council is debating and likely will vote on a clean
indoor ordinance very similar to this. The City Council person working on this in
Centerville is Dr. Gresham. In his due diligence efforts, he went to the major
opponent of clean indoor air legislation - the Centerville bowling alley - and
interviewed the management, the staff, and several bowlers. Dr. Gresham then
went home and promptly experienced a heart attack. He is now recovering and is
pushing very hard to pass the legislation in Centerville, Ohio. He thanked Council
for their due diligence, their efforts and their receptiveness to lengthy testimony.
He is hopeful that Council will take this important and somewhat courageous step
forward.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher asked for comments from Council Members at this time.
Mr. McCash noted that on page 4, paragraph 0, there is a typographical error at
the end of the sentence that should be corrected.
Mr. Keenan noted that there has been a great deal of rather heavy-handed
lobbying and a number of insensitive comments made by the pro smoking ban
advocates. He shared a portion of an editorial which is appropriate for this issue:
"The word democracy does not appear in the Constitution because the founders

didn't want a national government merely reflecting the passions and whims of 50.1
percent of those who voted. Government is meant to mediate, not mirror popular
views. The national interest isn't defined by a push button poll." During the
smoking ban process, he obviously had his mind changed on this matter. While he
appreciates the process, he pointed out to those involved that there may be a
. better way to deliver the message.
Mrs. Boring noted that Council has heard testimony from some bar owners tonight.
Why has Council given consideration to allowing a hotel to have smoking rooms
and not given the same consideration to bars? The same arguments for exposing
workers to smoke exist for both.
Mr. Keenan stated that the smoking in the bar is more direct contact versus that in
the hotel rooms.
Mrs. Boring stated that the testimony has indicated that the second hand smoke
exposure exists for hotel workers also. She continues to believe that there should
be some exemption for a limited number of establishments. If a hotel can have
such an exemption, there should be a way to do so.
Mr. McCash stated that this came about from negotiation with the hotel/motel
industry.
Mrs. Boring stated that perhaps the hotel/motel representatives have a more
effective negotiating team.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that this is not her viewpoint. The percentage of
smoking rooms for hotels was previously 20 percent and they have agreed to 15
percent, based upon their business needs. She views the smoking in the hotel
rooms as more segregated than that in the bars.
Mr. Reiner suggested that this legislation be approved by emergency tonight, as it
is a matter of health and welfare.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that the legislation as proposed includes an
effective date of February 1, 2005 for implementation.
Mr. McCash stated that Dublin was admonished at the outset for delaying the
consideration of the legislation. Perhaps it should be effective at an earlier date.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she is not opposed to passage by emergency,
but she does believe time is needed for an educational process in order to be
prepared for the start date on February 1. The February 1, 2005 effective date
allows for this lead-time.
Vote on the Ordinance: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Chinnici-
Zuercher, yes; Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Reiner,
yes.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher thanked everyone who has participated in this process. It
is Dublin's intent to be as inclusive as possible in studying issues prior to making a
final decision. Council looks forward to working with everyone as the smoking ban
is implemented.
Mr. McCash suggested that Council and staff monitor this through the process and
the impacts it mayor may not have in Dublin. If modifications are needed, Council
can consider some of the revisions made in other cities.
Mr. Keenan noted that the education process is tied to grant monies, and staff
should pursue this as quickly as possible.

Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that there is grant funding available for this
educational process and staff will pursue this immediately.
Ms. Salay added that Council should contact their state representatives and state
., senators regarding similar statewide legislation on this matter. This would level the
playing field.
BID ACCEPTANCE
Ordinance 75-04
Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Solid Waste Collection Services with
Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a
Contract for Procurement of Said Services.
Ms. Brautigam stated that a presentation was given at the last meeting on this
process. Ms. Lozier can respond to any further questions.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. Dublin asked why the Republic Waste
Services bid was one-third to one-half higher than the Rumpke bid?
Ms. Lozier stated that the Republic bid included automated collection only and the
capitalized equipment and container costs were much higher.
Mr. Maurer stated that, in his opinion, Rumpke has done an excellent job.
Vote on the Ordinance: Ms. Salay, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr.
Keenan, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.
INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING - ORDINANCES
COMPENSA nON PLAN CODE AMENDMENT
Ordinance 78-04
Amending Section 4 of Ordinance 98-96 (Compensation Plan).
Mr. Lecklider introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Brautigam stated that this ordinance comes before Council at the request of
staff. During the budget process, staff discussed the current compensation for the
Mayor, Vice Mayor and Council in view of the increased number of Council
meetings and the increased number of Mayor's Court sessions each month. The
compensation was last changed in 1996, and staff felt it appropriate for Council
salaries to be increased by 25 percent. Staff recommends that the ordinance be
approved in conjunction with the operating budget in order that this change can be
made in January of 2005.
There will be a second reading/public hearing at the December 13 Council
meeting.
COST OF SERVICES UPDA TE
Ordinance 79-04
Amending Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances to Revise the Fee and
Service Charge RevenuelCost Comparison System and Establishing a
Schedule of Fees and Service Charges for City of Dublin Services.
Mr. Lecklider introduced the ordinance.
Ms. Brautigam stated that this is a yearly update for fees for services. The Finance
Committee will meet on December 1 at 5:30 p.m., and the second reading/public
hearing will take place on December 13.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Ordinance 80-04
Authorizing the Provision of Certain Incentives for Purposes of Encouraging
Frank Gates Corporation to Retain Its Workforce Within the City, and
Authorizing the Execution of an Economic Development Agreement.
Ms. Salay introduced the ordinance.

Ms. Brautigam stated that the report indicates that the Frank Gates and Company
has come to the end of its lease, and in order to encourage them to stay in the City,
the City is offering an economic development incentive.
Mrs. Boring asked that staff also provide details about the penalties the company is
subject to if they do not meet the commitments contained in the agreement.
There will be a second reading/public hearing at the December 13 Council
meeting.
OTHER
. Adoption of Meeting Schedule for 2005
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that a modified schedule has been provided to
Council. She noted that she cannot attend goal setting on January 14 and she
understands that Mrs. Boring is not available on that date.
Ms. Brautigam stated that she has been in contact with the proposed facilitator. He
is not available in February, but she has asked about his availability in March and
will report back to Council. In reviewing the timing of goal setting over the past
several years, it has often taken place in March.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule goal setting on March 4, if the
facilitator is available on that date.
Following brief discussion about various alternatives, it was the consensus of
Council to adopt the modified Alternative B. The goal setting date will be confirmed
by Ms. Brautigam.
CITY MANAGER/STAFF REPORTS
. Recommendation from Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Regarding
Accessible Playgrounds
Ms. Brautigam stated that at the last two meetings of the Commission, the issue of
accessible playgrounds has come up. The Commission is very passionate about
this topic and asked staff to bring forward to Council a copy of a motion to direct
staff to devise a playground accessibility plan by May of 2005. If Council concurs,
they should approve a motion directing staff to bring this plan back by May.
Mrs. Boring asked for more details and whether this is a reasonable timeframe in
view of other staff priorities.
Ms. Brautigam stated that PRAC is requesting a policy that would demonstrate that
by a particular future date, the playgrounds would be generally accessible. A plan
would include current playgrounds that would be amenable to accessibility and that
when replacing equipment, a policy would require choosing accessible equipment
Mrs. Boring asked if this is feasible for staff to do in view of the Community Plan
update.
Ms. Brautigam stated that she and Mr. Hahn discussed this and believe the date is
feasible.
Mr. Lecklider asked for clarification: the City has recently brought on line several
parks. Does this in any way contemplate retrofitting those parks within the next 12
months?
Ms. Brautigam stated that it would not. But when parks are updated, the
accessible items could be added at that time. This goes beyond ADA
requirements, e.g., eliminating mulch and having a flat surface that would be
accessible to wheelchairs.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher stated that she is in agreement with what PRAC is
recommending. She had made the assumption that the staff would return through
the budgeting process with a long-term plan for implementation of this. It is simply
a matter of the costs of implementing these measures.

Ms. Brautigam agreed, noting that in next year's capital budget, a phased-in
approach will be included. PRAC wanted to make a strong statement and have
this in place prior to the initiation of the CIP process for next year.
Mr. McCash commented that the Leadership Dublin project focused on one park
. for Special Needs; this initiative is for accessibility in general throughout all of the
park system in Dublin.
Mr. Keenan commented that he envisions this as a policy issue for future budget
implementation.
Mrs. Boring applauds PRAC for undertaking this. Having a written policy will
provide guidance for future budgets.
Ms. Brautigam stated that citizens in the PRAC audience were interested in the
status of the special needs park. When they found it was not in the five-year CIP,
there was concern expressed. PRAC then asked staff to return with general
information about accessibility in parks, and PRAC asked that the policy be
forwarded to Council for adoption.
Mrs. Boring moved approval of the PRAC recommendation.
Ms. Salay seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: Mr. Keenan, yes; Mr. Lecklider, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms.
Salay, yes; Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher invited Mr. Maurer to provide public testimony,
apologizing for overlooking his request to testify on this matter.
Wallace Maurer. 7451 Dublin Road. Dublin stated that his questions will likely be
answered in the May report. The key phrase to him is true accessibility and he is
curious to know the nature of the complaints and from where they have been
generated.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Ms. Salav invited everyone to attend the Tara Hill Area Traffic Task Force open
house at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17 at the Rec Center.
Mrs. Boring commented:
1. Thanks to Ms. Lozier for her hard work on the solid waste contracts, which
will be of great benefit to the citizens.
2. Congratulations to Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher on her recognition from the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce. Council is very proud of her many
achievements.
3. In regard to the budget discussion regarding staff attendance at the
American Planning Association conference, is there a need to increase the
division training budget to accommodate everyone who should attend?
Ms. Brautigam stated that based upon the attendance in previous years, Ms.
Grigsby has indicated that there is adequate funding in the 2005 budget.
Mayor Chinnici-Zuercher noted that Mr. Ciarochi or Mr. Bird had indicated at the
budget hearing that there was a rotation system in place and that not everyone
would attend. What Mrs. Boring has indicated is a desire for sufficient funding so
that all of the staff can attend this important conference.
Mr. Lecklider clarified that he wants to ensure that there is funding available to
allow everyone to attend, if in Mr. Bird or Mr. Ciarochi's discretion everyone's
attendance is warranted. That is a management decision.
Ms. Brautigam stated that she understands that some staff members generally do
not attend in order to provide coverage at the office. She will provide additional
information in the budget report on December 13.
