Re: Ordinance No. 48-25 — Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2025 (Q4) Follow-up Information
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 additional
information requested and one additional appropriation.
Section 8 Additional Information
Regarding the US 33/SR 161/Post Road Interchange Improvements Project, is this amount what was
originally budgeted? Has there been any change in that number? Is this the final payment for this
project?
The project funding agreement for the US 33/SR 161/Post Road Interchange Improvements Project
(Project) was approved by Resolution 04-22. This resolution provides that the City will pay its share
of the initial estimated costs of the project and any additional costs at the end of the Project. The
current project budget is nearly $2.5 million above the initial estimated project costs. However, the
Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) estimates the final project cost to be an increase of
approximately $1.7 million as it proceeds through finalization. ODOT has requested payment from
the City for its final estimated cost and has agreed to accommodate a partial payment in 2025. The
remaining amount will be paid from funds allocated in the 2026 Capital Improvements Budget for
this purpose.
The payments will bring the project close to a final balance, though during finalization, there remains
a possibility that ODOT’s estimated final amounts could be slightly higher or lower, resulting in a
residual balance due or a credit to the City.
Section 9 Request $336,000 to be reappropriated from the Capital Improvements Tax fund
from available funds originally allocated to the Parks Capital Improvements Program to
advance the design for Riverside Crossing Park perimeter security enhancements. The requested
funding reallocation corresponds with the expected project cost of $2.8 million that was included in
the approved 2026 capital improvements budget for safety improvements at Riverside Crossing Park.

Specifically, the funding will support the design of additional safety features along the East
Promenade to improve user protection and meet identified public safety priorities. The funds will
also include electrical infrastructure design to accommodate seasonal programming, such
as Christkindlmarkt in Dublin, Ohio, aligning with the Parks & Recreation Master Plan
recommendations. This request will utilize unspent capital appropriations and is a budget neutral
adjustment to the 2025 budget.
Section 10 Request to appropriate an additional $1,769,200 in the Kroger Center TIF Fund to fund
a payment pursuant to a Development and Land Transfer Agreement between the City of Dublin,
SKS Bright Road LLC, and Stephen T Newcomb. This Agreement was authorized by Ordinance 37-
25 on August 25, 2025. The appropriation request includes the agreed upon payment equal to the
difference in appraised property values ($1,739,200) and an estimate for the City’s share of the
closing costs and unpaid real property taxes per the Agreement. The requested budget adjustment
is necessary as it is anticipated that the required contingencies will be satisfied to allow for closing
of the land transfer before the end of the 2025 fiscal year.
Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 48-25, amending the Annual Appropriations
for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025, at the Ordinance’s second reading and public hearing
of the Ordinance on December 8, 2025.

Re: Ordinance No. 48-25 — Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2025 (Q4)
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 the appropriations necessary to fulfill the 2025 Operating Budget vacancy credit
appropriation. Section 1 of the Ordinance, which executes the vacancy credit, lists multiple
appropriation requests from the General Fund to other funds. These appropriation requests have a
budget-neutral impact on the 2025 Operating Budget.
Initiating Department: Finance
Section 2 requests $63,250 in funding appropriation authority for Franklin County Auditor’s
Deductions (fees) for funds as listed in Section 2 of the corresponding Ordinance. This request will
cover the fees collected by the County Auditor to cover their administrative costs in distributing the
City’s real estate tax appropriation sheet. In several cases, the increase in County Auditor deductions
was related to the property owner remitting their real estate tax payments past the Auditor’s due
date. In these funds, service payments were higher than anticipated due to multiple Franklin County
Board of Revision decisions and property value increases, resulting in related Auditor deductions
exceeding the budgeted amounts.
Initiating Department: Finance
Section 3 requests $165,000 in additional funding appropriations in the Visit Dublin Fund.
Section 4 requests $47,000 in additional funding appropriations in the Hotel Motel Fund.
These appropriations result from Hotel Motel Tax revenues exceeding the original 2025 budget
estimate. As hotel motel tax revenues increased in 2025, the remittances to organizations including
Visit Dublin and Dublin Arts Council increased proportionally. The increase in appropriations
requested will enable the City to distribute tax revenue pursuant to Council adopted policies for Hotel
Motel Tax revenue distributions.

Section 5 requests $345,000 in additional appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of
the General Debt Service Fund, Economic Development Bond Retirement Fund and Sewer Debt Fund
for interest payments related to the 2025 bond refunding transactions (Ord. No. 21-25 and 22-25)
that closed during the third quarter. The interest payments are inclusive of refunding transactions
that generated net present value savings compared to the previous bond debt service. The City’s
policy is consistent with the Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) best practice on debt
refinancing.
Initiating Department: Finance
Section 6 requests $5,275,000 from the unencumbered fund balance of the Capital Improvement
Construction Fund and serves as a technical correction, not an appropriation of new project funding.
This budget adjustment reallocates previously budgeted funds to the appropriate project account,
ensuring that expenditures associated with the Dublin Community Recreation Center improvements,
Bridge Park Event infrastructure, and shared-use path connections are properly reflected in CIP
reporting. This adjustment ensures accurate financial reporting and alignment with the City’s capital
priorities.
Initiating Department: Finance
Section 7 requests $55,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the New
Community Authority Fund to cover additional Bridge Park NCA contractual obligations to direct
payments received from Franklin County. This appropriation will ensure the fund remains within
budget and supports continued compliance with contractual obligations for debt service payments
related to infrastructure improvements.
Initiating Department: Finance
Section 8 requests $550,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the
Perimeter Center TIF for the US 33/SR 161/Eiterman Road Interchange. The project construction is
being finalized, and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), which is performing
construction administration of the project, has submitted to the City the estimated final construction
invoice for the project. ODOT has agreed to split the final payment, with a portion paid in 2025 and
the remainder paid with funds budgeted in the Perimeter Center TIF Fund for 2026.

Please note that additional updates may be provided for the second reading of the Ordinance.
