Staff Comments
Mr. Hanslev:
1. Updated Council on his meeting with the Dublin Postmaster and other post office
representatives today. Letters will be sent out on May 26 by the post office to customers
within the Dublin zip code informing them of the additional zip code for the Dublin azea and
boundaries for the split, effective July 1, 1995. The new zip code will be 43016 and will
include the southwest quad, the azea west of Avery Road, and the northeast quad.
2. Reported that City employee Terry Peterman recently found a large sum of money on the
roadway and returned it to the owner. Staff commends him for this action.
Mr. Kindra reported the following:
1. Letters will be sent out May 16 regazding the Brand Road address changes, as described in
the information forwarded to Council.
2. The school flasher installations have been completed and they aze now operational.
3. The issues have been resolved which relate to Council's consideration of Ordinance No. 26-
95, involving a cooperative agreement with the Ciry of Columbus for the Sawmill Road
widening project. He recommends passage of the ordinance this evening.
4. ODOT will soon replace a bridge deck on Rings Road, and staff is investigating the
possibility of widening the roadway there at the same time to three lanes since this is the
location where Woerner-Temple will connect with Rings. ODOT would seek the City's
participation for approximately $500,0000; ODOT would then design the project and work
with Dublin. Council may wish to consider participating in this project.
Ms. Puskazcik introduced Lisa Perks, the new Special Events Coordinator for the City.
Mr. McDaniel noted that:
1. Staff is working with five other cities in Central Ohio on the development of a
telecommunications policy. A report will be provided to Council in the neaz future.
2. Some problems have developed with the yard waste collection program. Most involve
communication of the program guidelines the residents. Staff will provide more information
to the public via the press about how the program operates. Council members who receive
complaints about service should forward the calls to the Service Department.
Chief Bostic, Washington Township Fire Department, updated Council on the condition of the
Dublin resident who fell from a bridge on private property three weeks ago and was then life-flighted
to Riverside Hospital. He is in stable condition but has not regained his speech at this time.
Mayor Campbell thanked Washington Township medics for their prompt and excellent response to
the situation. i
Chief Ferrell reported that Council has been invited to the three DARE graduations next week.
Brief discussion followed about the address changes for the Brand Road residents and the fact that
the City should lend assistance wherever possible to helping the residents with this transition in terms
of notifying utility companies, police, fire, etc.
Further discussion followed about the zip code changes and the City's efforts to lobby for the 43017
zip code within the City of Dublin corporate boundazies. Staff is working with the post office to
resolve some of the issues involved with Dublin post office addresses for azeas of Columbus and
Powell.

Comments from Visitors
Lee Grabill. 5242 Willow Grove Place North. Dublin stated that a recent headline in the Dublin
Villager indicates that residents have reached accord with the developer of the McKitrick property.
He emphasized that while the residents of Coventry Woods may be satisfied with the
accommodations made for them, the residents of Willow Grove still have some real concerns relative
to the location of the road coming out of the commercial pazk. This roadway will be a major
thoroughfaze taking traffic from Sawmill Road to 1~ttle Crossing, dumping "tons" of traffic next
to their development. They also take issue with the fact that the Post Road bridge is never shown
to go beyond its capacity, as the study assumes that if the bridge is full, the traffic will turn right.
The residents of Willow Grove advocate moving the roadway to the north, although the school boazd
wants to reserve the northern azea for band practice. The resident owners of Willow Grove pay over
$200,000 per yeaz in property tax and deserve some consideration. They plan to attend the June 5
public heazing and testify on these matters.
Scecial Presentations
Vice Mayor King presented certificates to the winners of the Community Plan Poster contest, and
savings bonds were awazded to the first, second and third place winners. Mrs. King noted that the
artwork will be published as part of the Community Plan.
Mayor Campbell congratulated all of the winners on their fine effort.
Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation to Jeff Cazd and Trice Guisinger, Parks and Recreation
Division, in honor of National Aquatics Week -May 27 to June 4.
Chief Ferrell accepted a proclamation from Mayor Campbell for Buckle Up America! Week -May
22 to May 29. ~
I
Council Roundtable I!
Mr. Zawalv suggested that a direct phone line be installed to the Ciry Manager and Clerk of i
Council's office to provide faster access for Council members.
Mr. Hansley will memo Council regazding the costs of installation and monthly charges.
Mrs. Stillwell reported:
1. Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is currently reviewing the growing trend by the
federal government to use block grant funding as opposed to state and individual program
funding and how this will impact the region. They are looking for assistance from local
governments to help determine the best way to give member communities the greatest benefit
of the varying stream of dollazs.
2. There is a proposal circulating at the State House which would allocate Issue 2 bond monies
equally to ODOT and the Public Works Commission. Traditionally, all of the monies have
gone to the Public Works Commission. This change could impact the local control cities
have had in the past with the Public Works funds.
Mrs. King suggested that, as afollow-up to Mayor Campbell's memo, Council have some further
discussion of the Caplestone Lane issue at the end of tonight's agenda.

Held May 15, 1995 19
Mrs. Boring noted that there was a nice advertisement for the Ciry of Dublin in a recent issue of
AAA Magazine.
Mayor Campbell reported:
1. He attended a recent forum called "Public Policy Issues Affecting Central Ohio" hosted by
the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce where discussion took place regazding national
changes affecting local governments, as mentioned by Mrs. Stillwell tonight. Local
governments must take an interest in decisions made at the federal level because those
decisions regarding entitlement programs and debt could adversely impact funding sources
faz into the future for cities both lazge and small. He will keep Council informed about
future meetings of this group.
2. He has received a letter from Mike Biggs, Assistant Director of Communications at Golden
Beaz International in regazd to a proposal fora "sister city" arrangement with the resort
town of San Martin De Los Andes, Argentina. The Nicklaus Design group is building a
golf resort there, and Mr. Taylor will be attending the Memorial Tournament and would like
further discussion with Council members about such a proposal.
Following brief discussion, Mayor Campbell stated that he will meet with Mr. Taylor and report
back to Council at the next meeting.
3. Last weekend he met with John Cox, a former Irish Tourist Boazd member who was visiting
Dublin with the OSU Alumni Band and Marching Band directors. The OSU group had
presented a proclamation from the Ciry of Dublin to the Lord Mayor of Ireland back in
Mazch when they visited Ireland. The Lord Mayor of Ireland sent greetings and a photo to
the City of Dublin, and Mayor Campbell shared the greetings with Council.
Legislation
Ordinance No. 21-95(Amended) - An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 62-88 (Amended)
To Update the Arterial Traffic Plan for the City of Dublin. (Public Hearing)
Ms. Clarke stated that:
1. The first thoroughfaze plan for Dublin was adopted by Council in 1982 as the Arterial
Traffic Plan. It was updated in 1988 with the Community Plan. Ordinance No. 21-95
consolidates the plans approved by Council since that time, bringing them into one sole
source document. The map before Council tonight includes the 1988 Plan, the azea in the
southwest where new roads and needs have been identified, the Bright Road azea study, the
bridge study done to determine the desired location, and a Tuttle Crossing azea plan that
determined the right of way needed for the widening of Tuttle Crossing Boulevazd.
2. The previous ordinance called for updating the Plan each four yeazs. Although this update
is late, the next update is anticipated to be eazly since it will follow studies done as part of
the Community Plan update.
3. The only changes made to the 1988 Plan aze those for which there has been a specific study
done. All other azeas were left intact.
4. The Plan was approved by the Planning Commission in April by a vote of 5-1.
5. The ordinance notes that the Plan is schematic and conceptual and that the actual alignment
of the roads will be determined as development comes forward.
6. There aze two sets of roadway standazds attached: the first set aze those repeated from the
existing 1988 Plan and the second aze the roadway standazds which are slightly different for
the southwest area.
7. This is a temporary, interim plan pending a major traffic study being undertaken for the
entire Ciry in conjunction with the Community Plan update.
8. The Tuttle Crossing West rezoning, adopted by Council, establishes the right~f--way of 132
to 138 feet (Option A) for that azea, and this is included in the update.
_ Mayor Campbell asked Ms. Clazke to confirm that the only new item contained in the update is the
right-of--way established for the Tuttle Crossing West rezoning -all of the other items have been
previously enacted by City Council.
Ms. Clazke confirmed that this is correct. This ordinance brings all of these items into one
document.
Mr. Kranstuber stated that the intent of the Code is that the Plan be considered in a meaningful way,
that it be studied by Council, by staff, that heazings be held, and that Planning Commission
undertake a more thorough review. The four year review is not intended to merely compile three
or four plans into one plan. He noted that traffic is the number one concern of residents, and he
doesn't believe Council is considering this in a comprehensive manner. Council is abdicating their
responsibility to staff if a meaningful, thorough review is not done by Council.

DAVT N LEGAL BLA K
Held May 15, 1995 19
Ms. Clarke emphasized that this update is by and large a compilation. Staff's intent is to take
documents which conflict and consolidate them into one document, e.g., the right-of--way for Avery
Road is set at 112 feet in the 1988 Plan while the Southwest Area Plan establishes a different
number. For clazity of administration, this compilation is needed. Staff is currently hiring a traffic
consultant for a major update of the thoroughfaze network which is the full traffic analysis needed
to make meaningful changes to the adopted Plan.
Mr. Foegler added that this document is not intended to set new policy. It instead reflects a strong
need to bring together all of the vazious studies completed and adopted in vazious forms into a single
policy statement to reflect Council's existing policies. It would be inappropriate to set new policy
out of the context of a comprehensive plan update.
Mrs. King commented that:
1. She shazes Mr. Kranstuber's wish that a more thorough review by Planning Commission had
been done.
2. She also has concerns that this document is intended to be used as a guideline for the private
sector as to: 1) likely future action respecting the development of public streets and 2) on
which to allow them to base decisions on zoning changes, vaziances and conditional uses.
3. The new Coffman Road extended should intersect with Sawmill not at Saltergate, but much
closer to the Sawmill interchange. The public should be involved with this decision.
Council voted on the rezoning, not on this road alignment.
4. The Bright Road azea plan called for a cube-sac, and this is not shown on the updated Plan.
5. She would like further discussion about delineating right-of--way widths without delineating
widths of roadways. Roads which are too wide have maintenance issues and aesthetic issues
for the taxpayers.
6. Planning Commission member Mazilee Chinnici-Zuercher has additional concerns which
were not contained in the minutes of the meeting.
7. Her overriding concern is that Council should take more time with this updated Plan. If
there is a need to separate out portions of the Plan to be adopted, then Council should do
so.
Mrs. Stillwell noted:
1. She has concerns about balancing the fourth "Whereas" section, which states that the Plan
serves as a likely guide to future action respecting the development of public streets, with
the idea that this is still conceptual.
2. Does the Plan update which changes the width and right-of--way required for certain streets
affect land already rezoned for development in terms of developable land? Developers have
relied on previous decisions made with rezonings. i
Ms. Clazke commented that she spoke to Ms. Chinnici-Zuercher about her vote to disapprove the
Plan. Ms. Zuercher explained that although the ordinance states that the map is conceptual, she feels
that staff adheres to the Plan too literally and therefore the language is not honest about the intent.
Mrs. Boring commented that she also agrees with the statements made by Mr. Kranstuber and Mrs.
King. She also has concerns about the route of the extra connector road between Sawmill and
Riverside and its proximity to the existing neighborhood instead of moving towazd the new j
neighborhood. She added that she never supported the 1988 Thoroughfare Plan.
Mr. Zawaly noted that, as Council's representative to Planning and Zoning Commission and as a
member who voted in favor of the Plan, he does not understand all of the concerns being raised.
This ordinance is a compilation of various policy ordinances adopted by Council over recent yeazs.
It was emphasized at Planning and Zoning that everyone must understand that the Plan is conceptual,
and the ordinance indicates that the map is conceptual. This is a temporary, interim document to
be relied upon until the comprehensive Community Plan is completed. He had been prepazed to
offer an amendment tonight to entitle this, "The 1995 Thoroughfaze Concept Plan" rather than just
"Thoroughfaze Plan" .
Mayor Campbell stated that he is puzzled by Council's reaction tonight. The growth in the City of
Dublin brings traffic problems, and planning for future roadways, bridges, traffic lights, etc. aze the
cures for traffic problems. What is being discussed tonight is compiling the approved blueprints for
the roadways, with the understanding that the Community Plan process to be completed in the near
future could change or reaffirm this. Changes may be needed in the future; tonight's discussion is
merely reaffirming what Council has already approved in the past.

N Al BLANK CO. FORM NO. 1 1
Held May 15, 1995 19
Mrs. King stated that she would not be comfortable with voting upon this at the next meeting. She
needs to heaz from staff why this is being done outside of the Community Planning process which
will provide a great comfort level with the end product.
Ms. Clarke responded that the 1988 Plan should have been updated in 1992 or certainly in 1993,
following adoption of the Southwest Area Plan. This document reconciles some small conflicts in
the vazious pieces of the individual plans previously adopted.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Council proceed with the public heazing as scheduled tonight.
Following the public hearing, there will be a third reading at the next meeting. Council has the
option of tabling the ordinance at that time or referring it for further study.
Mr. Foegler added that the discussion demonstrates staffs dilemma in understanding the adopted
Council policy. He suggests that if there aze aspects which Council does not want included in this
Plan or which do not reflect the existing policy, those comments should be forwazded to staff. At
the time of third reading, those issues can be articulated and Council can choose not to include those
in the updated Plan. The ordinance before Council tonight reflects staff's understanding of the
official policy at this time and is the basis upon which requirements aze made of private developers.
Mayor Campbell confirmed that any of Council's concerns regazding specific road improvements
which do not reflect policy should be forwazded to staff. Staff will then compile the concerns and
circulate them to Council so that Council can determine whether there is consensus about certain
items.
Mayor Campbell announced that four speakers have signed in to testify in opposition to the Plan.
No one has signed in to testify in favor of the Plan.
Don Greeorv. Emens Kegler Brown Hill and Ritter 65 E State Street Columbuc stated that he
represents the Wilcox Tuttle Limited Partnership which owns 26 acres north of Tuttle Road just west
of Wilcox. They have spent much time and money putting together an office and retail development
complex in a Planned Commerce District which has been previously approved by the City.
Enactment of the proposed updated Arterial Traffic Plan, expanding the existing right~f--way in this
area from 80 feet to 138 feet will significantly adversely impact the value of the Wilcox Tuttle
property as well as render the existing plans and zoning already approved by the City virtually
worthless. It will constitute at a minimum a significant taking by the City. They will soon identify
the monetary impact of the Plan on the Wilcox Tuttle property. They aze requesting that the City
slow down this process, obtain all relevant data, explore all viable alternatives, including whether
this expanded roadway and median is really necessary in this azea. He added that the Plan is not
conceptual in relation to the expansion of the existing right-of--way from 80 feet to 138 feet.
Chris Cline. 6060 Post Road Dublin stated that this pazticulaz retail azea, envisioned as the town
center of southwest Dublin at the time the zoning was done is a very specifically planned district.
Enactment of the Thoroughfare Plan update with the expansion of right-of--way will destroy the
existing zoning and prevent the development as planned. He and Mr. Gregory want Council to be II
awaze of the significant impact this Thoroughfaze Plan will have on the Wilcox Tuttle property, i!
Chris Cline, speaking now as a resident, stated that Post Road is shown as going through on this II
Plan as it did on the 1988 Plan. The residents have been told over the yeazs that the issue of Post
Road and Avery should be addressed in the Thoroughfaze Plan. But the Planning Commission was
not interested in hearing the residents. They aze asking for the process to be open and the issues
to be thoroughly studied. The land uses in the Perimeter Center were laid out with Post Road being
closed off. If the roadway is not going to be closed off, the issue needs to be revisited and other
options explored.
Mrs. King asked if the Post Road Civic Association has a current preference for either the Perimeter
Center Plan, as Mr. Cline has provided to Council tonight, or the option of leaving Post Road a as
a through road. There was a recent request for a traffic light which would not make sense if the
road is to become a cul-de-sac.
Mr. Cline responded that there is no question that if the residents could have Post Road become a
cul-de-sac, that is what they would want. Closing Post Road was not the residents' idea, but was
instead advanced by the City as part of the Lowell Trace development. There aze important issues
facing the Post Road residents, i.e., the gas station rezoning, which make the road closing a major
issue today.

Mayor Campbell commented that de-emphasizing Post Road without shutting the entire road off is
an issue which must be addressed. The proposed installation of a traffic light at Post and Avery
would re-emphasize this road as a major arterial, and so this issue will be debated with the capital
improvements plan review this summer.
Mr. Cline added that the Recreation Center location also impacts the Post Road decision and
necessitates revisiting the plan of making Post Road a cul-de-sac. All of these issues should be
considered with the Thoroughfaze Plan update.
Niki Lombazdo. 3615 Jenmaz Court Dublin stated that the owners of five houses on the south side
of Jenmaz Court aze here tonight to discuss the issue of the shift of the "Dublinview Boulevazd"
location. The location of the roadway is very important to the future of the residents and they would
like some answers tonight.
Mr. Foegler responded that in the 1995 budget, an alignment study has been funded to establish the
precise location of the roadway and to determine the impact on abutting properties. A consultant
has been obtained for this analysis and the study is currently underway. Staff expects the alignment
study to be completed within 4 to 6 months and staff will be working with the affected property
owners.
Mr. Kindra added that he expects a draft of the analysis within 30 days.
Mr. Foegler added that alignment studies are the vehicle which takes the roadway location from
conceptual to specific. He noted that the Thoroughfaze Plan is not conceptual in terms of right-of-
way width and basic points of connectivity -the conceptual nature of the Plan is the physical location
of roads relative to specific property lines.
Mayor Campbell commented that he, Mrs. Boring, Mr. Foegler, and Ms. Clazke had met with Mr.
Roth and Mr. and Mrs. Brown to discuss the concerns of these residents in regazd to the roadway
location. He acknowledged that the process to determine the road alignment and to then determine
fair compensation for those properties can be long and drawn out. Council and staff aze committed
to mitigating the impact to the residents as much as possible.
Ms. Lombazdo added that the residents can live with the uncertainty about their futures if they will
know something within 6 months. If they have heazd nothing 6 months from now, they will be very
unhappy.
Kathy Mazlow. 3601 Jenmaz Court Dublin stated that she lived on Jenmaz Court five yeazs ago
when the decision was made regazding the bridge location. She believes that the residents of Jenmaz i
Court deserve better treatment than they have been given. They cannot get on with their lives with
the uncertainty about the future of their properties. This process should have been completed long
ago.
Mayor Campbell committed that the residents will have the information within the timeframes
described this evening. '

Ordinance No. 33-95 - An Ordinance Amending Ordinance 122-94 to Establish a Fee Schedule
for Special Events Services Provided by the City of Dublin. (Second Reading)
Mr. Hansley that the information requested by Council at the last meeting has been provided in a
memorandum. Ms. Puskarcik is present if there aze additional questions.
Mrs. King noted that she would advocate a policy that the City underwrite the costs of events such
as groundbreakings, neighborhood block parties, and city-sponsored special events. Providing
funding for these services would be considered part of the normal function of government.
Mrs. Boring indicated that she, too would support underwriting the costs of these types of events,
especially related to inspection fees where a minimum of three hours is chazged.
Mrs. Stillwell commented that it strikes her that the City works hazd to create an environment which
both attracts business to the community and draws events which improve the quality of life. To then
turn around and chazge those same businesses service fees for groundbreaking expenses or to assess
neighborhoods for block party costs seems inappropriate. She agrees that a policy is needed.
Mr. Hansley pointed out that the intent of the MSI process was for the City to know what the costs
are so that Council can make a policy decision about which charges to pass along and which to
absorb.
Mr. Zawaly agreed that the policy discussion is needed and soon so that the vazious organizations
can be made awaze of possible increases in costs in the future.
Mayor Campbell suggested that Council members give additional consideration to their positions with
respect to the actual numbers involved prior to the third reading.
Mrs. King requested information about the total expenditures for special events, including how much
of the funding comes from bed taxes and how much from the general fund.
Mr. Hansley added that there aze budget impacts as well in terms of staffing up for non-City
sponsored events. Policy direction is needed in this azea.
Mrs. King moved that staff present to Council prior to the next meeting a listing of all of the sources
of revenue that aze spent on special events from City funds and a list of all events that generate these
costs.
Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion.
Ms. Puskazcik requested that Council table this ordinance until the second June meeting to allow
additional time to compile the information. Special events staff aze extremely busy with Memorial
Tournament activities during the next two weeks.
Mrs. King then amended her motion to also table the third reading of the ordinance until the second

(Dublin City Schools) ()Hirst Reading) (Applicant: Dublin City Schools, c/o Christopher Mohr,
7030 Coffman Road, Dublin, OH 43017)
Ms. Clazke stated that the school administration building was developed on residential property as
an adjunct to the existing school facilities on Bridge Street. Subsequent to the school administration
function there, it was use for a day care facility. At this point, the day caze facility is relocating
back to the Dublin Community Church, and the school system will have a vacant office building
without general office zoning. They aze thus seeking to rezone the property for office use.

Motion re Clazification of Brighton Pazk Development Text
Mrs. Stillwell commented that she and Mrs. King have brought this motion to Council tonight, as
outlined in the memo, to clazify the text of the rezoning ordinance. She is also amending the motion
to state that the residents be invited to discuss this matter at the June 19 Council meeting rather than
the June 5 meeting in view of the McKitrick rezoning scheduled on June 5.
Mrs. Stillwell then moved to clarify the text of Ordinance 90-90, a previously approved rezoning
of a 24.847 tract located in the southwest corner of Rings Road and Wilcox Road known as Brighton
Pazk. The purpose of this clazification is to reflect cleaz intent as expressed at the time of the
rezoning that fences within this subdivision comply with the fence standards established for the
Indian Run subdivision. As such, the motion would be to clazify the zoning text to re-emphasize
that all fences within the subdivision be restricted to allow only fence types provided for in the
Indian Run subdivision zoning text.
Procedurally, she requested that this motion be rescheduled for June 19th, 1995 to allow for citizen
comment and that staff notify the Brighton Pazk residents of this meeting.
Mrs. King seconded the motion.
Mayor Campbell stated that this will be held over until the June 19th meeting for discussion under
the "Other" portion of the agenda.
Mr. Smith confirmed that staff will not send the notices out until after June 5th, so that staff can
discuss this matter with the affected landowners prior to that time.
Mrs. Boring asked how the zoning text restriction differs from a deed restriction.
Mr. Foegler responded that deed restrictions aze private covenants that run with the land and aze ~
privately enforced by, in most cases, the homeowners' association. In this case, staff determined
that the minutes from the rezoning do not cleazly reflect the intent of Council in regazd to the
fencing. The intent of Council was that in the zoning text, the items aze publicly enforced and not
privately enforced as aze covenants.
Ms. Clazke clazified that the re lations aze those of I
~ ndian Run Meadow, not Indian Run which is
a separate subdivision in Washington Township.
Mrs. Stillwell agreed. "
Internet Presentation
Bob Lesiascek, Information Systems Administrator, provided brief background on the Internet
connection proposed for the Ciry of Dublin which will facilitate E-mail connections from Council
_ _ members to the Ciry of Dublin. The existing Ciry network will be attached to the Internet via an
Internet service provider. This would be a more cost-effective way to provide E-mail connections
than would adial-in access. Staff is in the process of seazching for an Internet address for Dublin -
the name proposed is "dublin.gov". The other aspect of the Internet connection would be for
mazketing purposes and information services for the City of Dublin with the rest of the world. He
then introduced Dan Pierce, President of PromoNet and Kathy Donavan, Director of Sales and
Mazketing from PromoNet who provided detailed information about the Internet system and the
services they offer.
Mrs. Stillwell asked about the use of E-mail and access to confidential documents.
Mr. Lesiascek responded that the documents would be encrypted, requiring passwords at each access
point.

In response to Mrs. King, Mr. Lesiascek stated that CompuServe, Prodigy, America On-Line as well
as FreeNet would provide the mailboxes for sending and receiving information from the Internet.
Mr. Pierce then provided technical information about the Internet and explained the rapid growth
in the number of users each month -approximately 1,000 users aze added each month.
Kathy Donavan presented slides and samples of Dublin's "home pages" which their company has
put together based on information Dublin has provided to them. At this point, Dublin would be the
first Central Ohio community to have a location on the Internet.
Discussion followed about the advantages of having a presence on the Internet, the need for Council
members to have a home computer to access the E-mail, and the possible need for additional staffing
to update information on the Internet.
Mr. Lesiascek described the start-up costs involved in the Internet connection: $3,900 in hazdwaze
and $7,200 for 19 home pages.
Mr. Hansley added that monies have been appropriated in the computer budget funds or in the
contingency funds to allow Council to, by motion, approve this funding.
Mr. Zawaly moved to, within the context of previously appropriated funds or reserve funds,
authorize the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $11,000 for the purpose of hazdwaze costs and
cataloging costs to provide E-mail capability and the City of Dublin catalog on the Internet.
Mrs. King seconded the motion.
Mrs. Boring expressed concern that this item has not been given sufficient consideration and she is
not sure of the benefits it will bring. She also has concerns that only half of the Council members
have the home computer hazdwaze to access the E-mail system.
Mr. Kranstuber commented that he will not vote against this expenditure, but he questions whether
this is acost-effective program to enter into.
Mayor Campbell indicated he would support spending a lesser amount to provide the hazdwaze and
the basic catalog pages - a total of $2,775 for the catalog pages and $3,900 for the hazdwaze. This
would give the Ciry a presence on the Internet at a lower cost.
Mr. Zawaly then amended his motion to approve funding not to exceed $7,000 -this would include
the seven catalog pages and the necessary hazdwaze.
Mrs. King seconded the amended motion, with the stipulation that the 7 pages include an economic ~
development page as well as a planning information page.
Mr. Zawaly accepted the stipulations.
Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Boring, no;
Mayor Campbell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes.
Mrs. Stillwell noted that she would like some further information about this matter in the budget
discussions this summer.
i
Mayor Campbell noted that there has been a request from Council Member King this evening to
have some discussion about the Caplestone Lane issue. He then asked for a motion to amend the
agenda to include this item.
Mrs. King moved to amend the agenda to include discussion of the Caplestone Lane issue, with a
limit on the discussion until 11:15 p.m.
Mrs. Boring seconded the motion.
Mr. Zawaly noted that they aze not seeking resolution to the issue this evening, but merely further
discussion.
Vote on the motion -Mayor Campbell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, no; Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes;
Mr. Kranstuber, abstain; Mrs. Stillwell, no.
Mr. Smith confirmed that the motion failed since there were not four votes in favor.
Mayor Campbell stated that he has had discussion with the Ciry Manager about the need to name
the Coffman Road Sawmill/'I~ttle connector. He suggested that Council members forward their
proposed names to the Clerk of Council so that future discussion can be held regazding this item.
