60 percent of the construction costs to be home by the Ohio Public Works Commission. '
Dublin would be responsible for paying 40 percent of the additional costs incurred.
i~' Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to opt for the wrought iron fence for aesthetic I! I''
and maintenance purposes.
Mr. Kranstuber emphasized that he favors this option only at the previously estimated cost to the
City of $20,000 to $30,000.
3. Regazding the 1995 Street Maintenance Program, staff is waiting for clarification of whether
Brandonway Drive should be included. There was a memo in the Council packet recently
outlining the two proposed alternatives for street lists.
Mrs. Boring pointed out her concerns about repaving Brandonway in view of the pending school
construction in that azea.
Following brief discussion, Mayor Campbell moved that option 2 list be selected which would not
include Brandonway.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Mrs. Stillwell asked for confirmation that improvements to Tuttle Road between Frantz and Dublin
Road aze not included in option 2, and Mr. Kinds stated this is correct.
i Mr. Kinds added that an overlay will not be done on Brandonway, but some patching may be done
~ I in certain azeas where necessary.
~ I Mr. Zawaly asked Mr. Kinds to confirm that all of the streets listed in option 2 are the most critical
infrastructure repaving projects needed within the City.
Mr. Kinds confirmed this, adding that with additional funding he would have added others to the
list.
' Mrs. Boring added that Mr. Geese noted at a recent public heazing that the berm azea on 745 is
deteriorating.
Mr. Kinds responded that he will initiate a work order to have the Service crew take Gaze of this.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Strip,
yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes.

submitted to ODOT in June. He will keep Council apprised of information regazding the
preferred pavement cross-section.
' S. In regazd to the letter sent by Mr. Swingle about the Brand and Coffman intersection, no
information has been developed at this time. All of the field surveying has been completed,
and as information is developed and provided by the consulting engineers for review, staff
will provide this information to Mr. Swingle. He will send a letter to Mr. Swingle letting
him know this. He will also pass the letter on to the consultant so that the consultant will
be sensitive to the issues raised by Mr. Swingle.
Mr. Kranstuber requested that Mr. Kinds copy Council on the letter he sends to Mr. Swingle.
6. Mr. Kinds reported that the bid opening on the West Branch sewer took place last week on
April 26. The low bid was from McNally Tunneling of Westlake, Ohio, and their bid was
$11, 812,119. The previous estimate was $16 million, so this bid represents a significant
savings to the City.
Mr. Kinds added that the McNally firm has done work for the City of Cleveland, and a
background information check is currently underway.
~ 7. Mr. Kinds further reported that he and Mr. Foegler have met with Ohio EPA officials
regazding the waiving of the requirement for a detention basin. The EPA seems to favor
waivin this r uirement althou h deli is still r uired at this oint. The i h
g ~ g ~ ~ P C ty as also i,

working well this evening.

regazding notification that a pazk would be developed behind his home. Staff is in the process of
' designing a small standazd sign indicating to residents the expectation for development on parkland
azeas. This type of signage could also be used to alert prospective buyers to azeas where roadways
~ or bridges aze to be located, i.e., the McKitrick property.

Comments From Visitors
Roy Lovell. 4980 Dublin Road addressed Council regarding his concerns about the sewer project
and how this will impact his property and that of his neighbor, Mrs. Sharrock. He has been
working with Dublin staff over the past 6 to 8 months, and his main concern at this time is the
appearance of the project when completed. He shared drawings and pictures of the area with
Council. The site is on Dublin property, but this is a City of Columbus project. He has concerns
with the following:
1. There is no logical need for building an exit road which will damage the contour and
character of the land. This road will be used only a couple of days per year for ins ection
P
vehicles.
2. The landscaping will be devastated with this project.
3. He has not been able to obtain good information from Columbus about the project.
4. He, his wife, and Mrs. Sharrock are long-time Dublin residents and he asked for Council's
assistance in addressing his concerns.
Mayor Campbell suggested that this issue be placed on an upcoming Council agenda under the
"Other" portion so that proper attention can be given to his concerns. He added that this sewer
j j project is of critical importance to the future health of the City of Dublin. Council selected the deep
tuna 1
e sew r
e option so that residents would not be negatively impacted by the project and this option i
was a very expensive one for the City.
Mr. Hansley added that this resident is impacted by both the sewer project and by the Hayden Run
intersection improvements as well. City staff has been working with Columbus and Franklin County
I, to address the concerns of the Dublin residents. One concession obtained is a commitment that the
construction in the front of Mr. Lovell's property would take one year instead of the originally
estimated three years. Some of the requests made by Mr. Lovell involve substantial costs to the
I, City, and thus he had urged Mr. Lovell to bring this issue before Councii, i.
l i.
; i Mr. Kranstuber noted that he would like a staff report and more information about the issue of j
replacing and rebuilding mounds on private property, such as the ones incurred with the Coffman
j Road widening for the additional landscaping.
Mr. Hansley estimated that, conservatively, the costs for Mr. Lovell's needs are in the ran a of ~
$50,000 to $100,000 or higher, g
Mr. Zawaly suggested that this be referred to the Public Services Committee where the staff can
report to the Committee and the Committee can then make a recommendation of whether this item
should be placed under the "Other" portion of the agenda.
Mr. Kranstuber, Public Services Chairperson agreed to have the Committee meet on Monday, May
15 at 6 p.m. in the Council Conference Room.
Mr. Lovell asked if he could invite someone from the EPA to the meeting, and Mr. Kranstuber
agreed that this was acceptable.
Mr. Kranstuber asked staff to provide a concise summary of the issues involved, including budget
figures, what would be replaced, what is being destroyed, what is additional, and the justification
for the road access.
Mrs. Stillwell moved to refer this issue to the Public Services Committee. She added that she has
j ~ been working with the residents since last November as has Mr. Hansley.
Mr. Zawaly seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mr.
Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes.

hotel/motel tax fund awards, and apologized for the delay in getting this information to Council.
He suggested that Council members review the information prior to the Committee reports later this
evening.
Mrs. Boring stated that she has concerns about the parking situation on Tara Hill, as outlined in the
memo she faxed to Council. She asked the City Manager to respond.
j Mr. Hansley commented that this is an annual problem where students from the high school park
I on City streets in the spring to avoid paying parking fees at the school. He asked Lt. Geis to
elaborate.
Lt. Geis stated that an evaluation has been completed of signage in the area, and one resident is
adversely impacted by additional signage. The Police division is recommending installation of "No
Parking between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m." signage. Staff will continue to work with the residents who
have raised the concerns.
Mrs. Boring requested that Lt. Geis contact Monty Dixon about the status of this situation.
Mr. Zawaly added that there is still a parking problem at Avery Park where drivers park on the
~i j grass near the softball diamonds. He believes that more enforcement of parking restrictions is
needed.
Mrs. Stillwell reported that the Leadership Dublin group had a very successful first retreat on Friday
~i evening and Saturday.
Mavor Campbell reported:
1. He intends to request that legislation be drafted by the legal department regarding the private
to public street conversion. He will propose a combination of two of the alternatives
outlined in a memo from legal staff with the intent of providing that the City be made whole
in terms of the costs of the conversion.
2. He noted that in the Daily Reporter last Friday, four corporations were featured on the front
page, including Wendy's, Borror Corporation, Applied Innovation and Metatec -all Dublin
companies. He added that the success of these companies indicates that Dublin is doing the
right things in terms of the support and environment provided.
3. He recently had the opportunity to welcome the Ohio Association of Legal Secretaries to
their state convention which was held in Dublin. They are one of many groups who
continue to choose Dublin in which to hold their events, which points out that people want
to come to Dublin for their activities as well.

Ordinance No. 30-95 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Cosgray Park
Phase One Development, Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Contract for
Completion of this Project, and Declaring an Emergency. (Second Reading)
Mr. Hahn explained that emergency passage is requested due to the need to initiate the project during
the spring construction season. The Phase One improvements include paving, site work, and
stormwater drainage.
In response to Mrs. Boring's question of whether the City has revised the pavement standazds to a
higher stnadazd since last paving season, Mr. Hansley responded that the specifications have not been
j changed. Dramatically changing the existing standard is cost prohibitive, as implied in the memo
sent with this ordinance. Staff is recommending in 1995 that all paving projects, including pazk
projects, aze based on the same stnadazd used in the past.
Mr. Kranstuber commented that he would like some further analysis in temps of costs because he
believes some of the problems on the Muirfield Drive paving are related not to materials but to
application. If the Muirfield paving is within two to three percent of specs, there is something
wrong with the specifications.
Mr. Strip agreed that a paving job could be within spec yet have results that aze not first class. He
believes the choice of contractor is a critical factor.
Mr. Hansley noted that the project is bid, and the City is obligated to take the low bidder unless
there is a specific reason to disqualify them.
In response to Mr. Zawaly, Mr. Hahn stated that the Engineering division does not prepaze the bid
estimates for the park projects - in this case, the firm of Myers Schmalenberger prepazed the
''i estimates in con•unction with B

Mayor Campbell clazified that this bid is the portion of pazk development that deals with irrigation
~ ~ lines, the site grading, drainage, stream crossings, entry drive and parking lot.
Mrs. King moved to treat this as emergency legislation and waive the three time reading rule.
Mayor Campbell seconded the motion.
Mrs. King added that it is important to get this phase of the project underway because the sod must
mature for a yeaz before the pazk can be used. The City needs to get this pazk on line in order to i i
'service the public.

Ms. Grigsby provided the background information on the need for this legislation, noting that:
1. When the MSI study was done, the fees incurred by Parks Maintenance to support Special
Events were not identified sepazately. Budgets for many special events already planned were
based on estimates for City services prior to the adoption of the master fee ordinance. Thus,
a grandfather clause for those events is included within this ordinance, that the fees would
not be imposed until after the effective date of the legislation.
2. In addition, there is a three-hour minimum chazge for workers for events, so some of the
events can become quite costly to outside organizations. Thus, a provision is included
regazding a waiver or fee adjustment to be recommended to City Council for events of
certain types, i.e., civic association sponsored, school district sponsored, and city supported
special events.
In response to Mr. Zawaly, Ms. Puskarcik confirmed that all of the 1995 event fees were based on
the previous services fee schedule.
Mrs. King emphasized that this legislation will help move the City towazd Council's goal of
scheduling fewer, higher quality events. Understanding the true costs of these events helps Council
to make good decisions regazding bed tax funding for events.
Mr. Zawaly requested that, prior to the next reading, he would like staff to prepaze an analysis of
the impact on a targeted number of events between the current fee structure and the new fee
structure.
Mrs. Stillwell commented that it is important not to overlook the community spirit aspect of some
of the events in the attempt to recoup all of the costs. The financial analysis would be very helpful
to understand the impact of the fee changes.
Mayor Campbell commented that this is another way of encouraging events that are self-sustaining
to continue, meeting the goal of fewer, but high quality events.
Mrs. King clazified for staff that there are four Council members that have requested a cost scenazio
on a cross section of events to provide a more cleaz picture for the second reading.
There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the May 15 Council meeting.
Ordinance No. 34-95 - An Ordinance Amending Sections 305.04(j) and 311.03 of the Dublin
Codified Ordinances to Eliminate References to Quiet Zones and Play Streets. (First Reading)
Mrs. Boring introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Hansley stated that the Public Services Committee reviewed the play streets issue at a recent
meeting and then duetted staff to draft this legislation eliminating the references to play streets
within the Code.
Mayor Campbell asked that Rock Davis be sent a letter notifying him that the second reading will I~
take place on May 15. II
Mrs. Stillwell commented that in the third "Whereas" section, she would suggest eliminating the j
words after "condition" to clazify that this section addresses safety concerns for the children that play
in the street as well as the drivers who use the roads.
Mr. Zawaly recommended that the Committee reference state, "Public Services Committee of
Council" for purposes of consistency.
Mayor Campbell suggested that these amendments be incorporated with one motion at a future
reading.
There will be a second reading at the May 15 Council meeting.

Kiwanis Frog Jump (banners, city services) $3,000
Columbus Zoo Activity Pavilion $5000
Discussion followed about details regazding the Frog Jump event which is being moved to Old
Dublin for the 30th anniversary of the event.
Mr. Strip emphasized that if the bed tax funds of $2,000 aze not awarded to the Kiwanis to fund the
banners, the City will then have to pick up the cost of the banners out of the Special Events budget.
Ms. Puskazcik noted that this event is one of the programmed events in the community for which
banners aze displayed for acycle - in this case, for two weeks in June.
Mrs. King noted that she has concerns about spending this type of money for purchasing banners
and the amount of money spent on labor to change them.
Mr. Zawaly noted that he has concerns about funding the Frog Jump event since it seems to be a
self sustaining event and not in need of subsidy.
Mrs. Boring emphasized that the Three Tour Challenge is being coordinated by a professional
production company and the profits aze not all given to chaziry - instead, a set amount is donated
to Chazity regazdless of the profit made. The Frog Jump, on the other hand, has a long tradition
in Dublin and the City should be supportive of the local group.
Mr. Kranstuber pointed out that the Three Tour Challenge will be broadcast on national television
and there may be an opportunity for promoting Dublin which would increase tourism and possibly
have economic development impact.
Mrs. Stillwell asked if the Three Tour Challenge is a tax exempt entity.
Mr. Strip responded that it's not tax exempt, but non-profit. The local sponsor would be the Golf
Club which is a not for profit.
Mrs. Stillwell noted that the Dublin bed tax brochure requires that the entity be tax exempt, although
the state statute does not. This is very confusing.
Mrs. Stillwell also pointed out that she has concerns about encumbering funds for the Columbus Zoo
activity pavilion, even though the funds will be released at a later date.
Mrs. King shazed her concern, adding that the zoo is not located within the City.
Mr. Zawaly noted that he also shazes their concerns about funding for the pavilion.
Following further discussion, Mr. Kranstuber suggested that votes be taken sepazately on the zoo
request, the Kiwanis request, and that the remainder be voted upon in one motion since they do not
seem to be controversial among the Council members.

Mr. Strip then moved the adoption of the Finance Committee recommendations for the Dublin
Historical Society, the Arthritis Foundation, the Dublin Chazity Cup, the Dublin Gazden Club and
the Golden Beaz Three Tour Challenge.

Council Committee Reports
Mrs. Stillwell, Administrative Committee announced that they met on Thursday and will meet again
in two weeks at 7:30 a.m. She reported the following:
1. Regarding guidelines for the Xoggz board appointments, it was determined that the
agreement with the Xoggz stipulates that Council representatives would be appointed when
the Board itself is appointed. At this time, the organization remains a sole proprietorship.
When a Board is appointed, the Committee will address this issue. It was recommended that
the representative be a member of the community and not a Council member.
2. In terms of accountability of Council's representatives to various Boards, the Committee is
recommending that quarterly reports be provided to the Administrative Committee by
Council's representatives to other Boards.
3. Review is underway of the Council Rules of Order, and a model rules program is being
reviewed by the Committee.
4. The Committee discussed the goal setting process, and is proposing a goal setting session
on Saturday, June 17.
Discussion followed about the need for a summer weekend goal setting session.
A date of June 17 was tentatively set for goal setting. Mr. Strip noted that it is possible that he will
not attend.
F Mrs. Boring pointed out that some budgetary concerns about goal setting were raised in an earlier
memo to Council.
5. The Committee also discussed computer needs for Council members, and Bob Lesiascek,
Information Services Administrator will give a presentation at the next Council work session.
Mrs. King, Community Development Committee stated that they met on April 27 and will meet
again on May 11. Mr. Kindra and Ms. Bearden gave presentations to the Committee regarding the
proposed I-73 turnpike. The Committee will report back to Council on this issue after the next
