Re: Ordinance No. 32-26 – Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2026 (Q2)
Summary
This Ordinance amends the annual appropriations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, 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 $3,425,200 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the
General Fund for a transfer to the Capital Improvement Construction Fund to make payments to the
Water and Sewer funds for principal and interest on the Series 2024 Manuscript Debt. 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. The proposed structure provides flexibility, allowing the
City to accelerate principal repayment at its discretion if appropriate funds are available. This
repayment approach was not included in the 2026 approved operating budget, as it aligns with the
as-planned debt service schedule and reflects the discretionary nature of potential early principal
payments. This would not represent a net new cost, but rather an acceleration of paying down
current principal balance as funding becomes available.
This debt issuance was approved by Ordinance 16-24 at the July 1, 2024 Council meeting.

Section 2 – Requests $585,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the
General Debt Service Fund for the annual interest payment related to the $16,900,000 Series 2026
Land Acquisition Note issued in February 2026 (Ordinance 54-25). The first interest payment of
$229,037 is due in June 2026 and the second installment of 352,365 is due in December. The notes
have a maximum term of five years with principal payments beginning in December 2027; until that
time, payments will be interest-only.
Section 3 – Additional appropriation of $693,000 is requested to fund the phase one implementation
of the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) upgrade project,
which serves as a critical component of public safety operations for the City of Dublin and its regional
partners (NRECC). The request includes $227,000 in additional appropriation from the
unencumbered fund balance of the Capital Improvements Tax Fund, $416,000 in additional
appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the Safety Fund and $50,000 in additional
appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the Wireless 9-1-1 System Fund.
The CAD/RMS update project was included in the approved 2026–2030 CIP in two phases, with a
2026 budget of $1.0 million that allocated $550,000 and $450,000 for RMS and CAD respectively.
Throughout 2025, a project team that included representatives from partner agencies conducted a
comprehensive market analysis and evaluation of available CAD and RMS solutions, including
demonstrations with more than ten vendors. Following this competitive selection process, the actual
cost of the first phase of the upgrade project is $1,693,000 based on a detailed implementation
contract with the selected vendor. The current system, in place since 2014, has reached the end of
its useful life and no longer meets modern operational or technological standards. The CAD portion
of the project cost is expected to be reimbursed through NRECC partner agency cost-sharing
contributions in 2027, totaling approximately $1.5 million. Figure 1 outlines the Phase 1 and Phase
2 payment plans below.

operations, records management, and long-term public safety needs.
Section 4 – Requests $4,000 in appropriations from the unencumbered fund balance of the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund to support ongoing investigative efforts. These funds were lawfully obtained
through criminal asset forfeitures and, in accordance with Ohio Revised Code and department policy,
are restricted for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
The requested appropriation will enhance the Department’s ability to investigate and prosecute
criminal activity by supporting investigative operations, evidence development, and case preparation.
This funding will directly strengthen the Department’s efforts to protect the community and advance
successful enforcement outcomes.
Recommendation
Staff recommend City Council approval of Ordinance 32-26, amending the Annual Appropriations for
the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2026, at the Ordinance’s second reading and public hearing on
