Members present were Mayor Campbell, Mrs. King, Mrs. Stillwell, Mr. Strip, Mr. Kranstuber, Mrs. Boring and Mr. Zawaly. _ Mayor Campbell noted that there has been a request for an executive session to continue discussion of a personnel matter and to discuss a real estate matter. Mrs. King moved to adjourn to executive session for these purposes. Mrs. Stillwell seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. The meeting was reconvened at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Zawaly led the Pledge of Allegiance. Members of Council present for roll call were: Mr. Zawaly, Mrs. King, Mrs. Boring, Mayor Campbell, Mr. Kranstuber, Mr. Strip, and Mrs. Stillwell. Staff members present included Mr. Hansley, Mr. Foegler, Mr. Smith, Ms. Grigsby, Mr. McDaniel, Ms. Jordan, Mr. Kindra, Ms. Clarke, Chief Ferrell, Mr. Lenz, and Ms. Puskarcik. Special Presentation by Central Ohio Transit AuthoritX James Daley, Manager of Public Affairs gave an update to Council regarding COTA's long-range planning for transportation. He noted that COTA is currently in the second phase of a multi-modal transportation corridor study in conjunction with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. The study involves determining what type of mass transit facilities are needed in various transportation corridors. He noted that expansion of the bus system is under consideration to meet the needs of suburban areas such as Dublin. This expansion would involve neighborhood circulator routes using 25-foot buses similar to the prototype on display this evening. Another significant part of the expansion of the bus system would funnel into a light rail system, the proposed alignment of which would be along I-71. He noted that the overall total capital cost of expanding the bus system and adding light rail is estimated to be $522,000,000. The federal government share would be about 370,000,000 with approximately $152,000,000 to be assumed by the public. If approved by COTA's Board, this proposal may be taken to the voters in fall of 1995 or 1996. He emphasized that Dublin will benefit the most from the expansion of the COTA current bus services. Brief discussion followed about the access to a light rail system for Dublin residents and the amenities offered to Dublin residents by neighborhood circulator route additions. Mayor Campbell thanked Mr. Daley for providing this update to Council. Approval of Minutes of October 3 and October 17, 1994 Minutes Mrs. Stillwell noted that under the Roundtable discussion portion of the October 3 minutes, the comments about the Finance Committee meeting were made by Mr. Zawaly and not by her.

Mayor Campbell noted that on page 15, where it states that he agrees with Mrs. King, he would like to clarify that he agrees with the process that she suggested but did not intend to agree that the program would be fully funded or implemented under the capital budget. Mrs. King said it was not her intent to make a decision at that point on the funding, but rather to establish a process. Mrs. King moved to approve the minutes subject to the changes.

Comments From Visitors Renee Telfer introduced Sharif El-Shazly, student intern from Dublin Coffman High School who addressed Council regarding the many benefits of the pre-professional business program coordinated by teacher Jane Ensign. He thanked Council and the City of Dublin staff for the opportunity to work for the City of Dublin under this cooperative program. Legislation Ordinance No. 33-94 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 4.081 Acres of Land Located on the Northwest Corner of Sawmill Road and Martin Road from: CC, Community Commercial District to: PCD, Planned Commerce District. (Sportmart, Inc.) (Third Reading) (Applicant:. Sportmart, Incorporated, c/o Ben W. Hale, Jr., Smith and Hale, 37 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215) Ms. Clarke noted that this was tabled previously due to a mix-up regarding the signage. Staff recommends approval with the 12 conditions set by Planning Commission at their October meeting. Mrs. King asked for clazification of whether the applicant is requesting approval of the amended signage. j! Ms. Clazke responded that the recommendation is not to approve the revised signage, but to approve the originally submitted rezoning application. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the original rezoning application with 12 conditions, but did not recommend approval of the revised signage submitted. Mrs. King moved to approve the rezoning application with the 12 conditions listed in the October 6 record of action from Planning & Zoning Commission. Mrs. Boring seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes. Ordinance No. 77-94 - An Ordinance Providing for a Change of Zoning of 7.920 Acres of Land . Located on the Northwest Corner of Perimeter Drive and Wilcox Road from: PCD, Planned Commerce District to: PLR, Planned Low Density Residential District. (Perimeter Center - Subarea I~ (Third Reading) (Applicant: Triangle Investment Company, c/o Christopher T. Cline, 37 W. Bridge Street, Dublin, OH 43017) Ms. Clazke updated Council on several issues raised at the public heazing: 1. Regazding the design of the street, a meeting was held today with the applicant, his representatives and the engineering staff and agreement was reached on the type of pavement section to be used. This will be a crown street for the main road through the subdivision, and extruded curb anchored at appropriate locations. 2. A memorandum was faxed to Council regarding the economic impact of the change of zoning based on the Mt. Auburn study adopted by Council. This site was not outlined on any of the preferred site maps for commercial use. The Mt. Auburn study also did not recommend protection of this azea in terms of a commercial site with long-term income tax RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Page 3 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL B K Held November 7, 1994 19 potential. 3. From a land use perspective, staff believes that this zoning provides an appropriate transition between the large lot single-family to the north along Post Road and the heavier commercial uses located on the south side of Perimeter Drive. Staff therefore recommends approval of this application with the 12 conditions set by Planning & Zoning Commission. Vote on the ordinance with the conditions of Planning & Zoning - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, no; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes. Ordinance No. 95-94 - An Ordinance Waiving Competitive Bidding as to the City's Stream Cleaning Project, and Declaring an Emergency. (Second Reading) Mr. Hansley stated that staff recently met with Dan Mecklenberg of ODNR regarding this project. Mr. Foegler reported that the potential emergency areas identified under the stream survey will be further examined as part of the comprehensive stormwater master planning effort which will be undertaken in the coming months. In cases where bridge structures and public infrastructure are threatened by the blockages, all parties agree that those are of an emergency nature and need to be removed immediately. These areas involve the same issue, previously described to Council, in terms of the inability to specify them in a manner which lends itself to competitive bidding. Therefore, the original objective of this ordinance, to waive the bidding, is still the desire of staff since the work will exceed the $10,000 limitation for competitive bidding. However, the immediate program will involve a far lesser amount of work than was originally anticipated. Mr. Hansley noted that Mr. Mecklenberg has offered to lend assistance during the pre-construction meetings for the projects, and has also suggested a source of labor at less cost -the State Civilian Conservation Corps program. He requested that Council adopt this ordinance which will allow the City the option of using the private sector for the work. Following discussion initiated by Mr. Strip, Mrs. Boring moved to amend the ordinance to state at the end of Section 1, "for a sum not to exceed $80,600." Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Vote on the motion -Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes. Mr. Hansley stated that staff is requesting emergency action so that the project can be initiated in the early winter period for health and safety reasons. Mrs. King moved to waive the three-time reading rule and to treat this as emergency legislation. Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. King, yes. Vote on the ordinance - Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes. Ordinance No. 96-94 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest/Best Bid for 7 A.C./D.C. Powered Modems and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract for the Procurement of Said ~ Equipment. (Second Reading) There was no additional information provided for this ordinance. There will be a third reading at the November 21 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 98-94 - An Ordinance Waiving the Dublin Portion of Sewer and Water Tap Fees as an Economic Development Incentive for an Office Building Project Under Construction in the City of Dublin and Appropriating Funds to Reimburse the Water and Sewer Funds. (Second Reading) Mr. Foegler reiterated that this waiver involves the John Alden Insurance tenant for the Duke Associates building. He described the good faith error made in calculation of the sewer and water costs by Duke, based on fees charged for the Xerox building. Since the time of the Xerox building construction, the water and sewer tap fees were dramatically increased by the City of Dublin. The value of the proposed waiver is just under $70,000, and the income tax generated by the project will reimburse the water and sewer funds within three months after occupancy. He added that at the time of the adoption of the increase of water and sewer tap fees, Council indicated that a waiver of the increase of fees could be used as an economic development tool under appropriate circumstances. Staff is recommending that Council approve this waiver, and is requesting emergency action this evening to avoid a complicated financial arrangement for later reimbursement. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Dublin City Council Meeting Page 4 Minutes of Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., F RM 101 Held November 7, 1994 19 Discussion at length followed about the economic development impact of this project as a justification of the waiver of the fees. Mr. Foegler clazified that if the issue had been identified eazlier and requested by the applicant, it would have been included in the tax increment financing package of items to be reimbursed. At this stage, it is not possible to add this to the TIF package, and thus staff is proposing reimbursement from the income tax generated by the project. He also emphasized that staff did not support the applicant's request for the waiver until the commitment for the additional. space by John Alden was offered. Following discussion, it was the consensus of Council to hold this over for a third reading at the November 21 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 99-94 - An Ordinance to Adopt the Operating Budget for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1995, and Declaring an Emergency. (First Reading) Mrs. King introduced the ordinance. The clerk explained that the ordinance has been drafted with emergency language because staff plans to request adoption by emergency at the third reading. Emergency passage is not requested tonight. Mr. Hansley requested that the ordinance be held over for a second reading while budget hearings continue by Council's Finance Committee. Staff is hopeful that a recommendation from the Finance Committee for adoption will come in eazly December, and adoption by emergency will be requested at that time. There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the November 21 Council meeting. Ordinance No.100-94 - An Ordinance Petitioning the Board of County Commissioners of Union County, Ohio, for a Change of Township Lines to the Area Included within the Corporate Limits of the City of Dublin from Jerome Township, and Declaring an Emergency. (First Reading) Mrs. King introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley explained that this ordinance provides for an adjustment of Washington Township's boundazies into portions of Jerome Township/Union county which lie within the City of Dublin. The ordinance is consistent with Council's recently adopted interim annexation policy on this point. It is also the subject of a letter from Planning & Zoning Commission Chairperson Fishman on a rezoning matter. Staff is requesting that the boundary be shifted for the pazcels that presently occupy Jerome i' Township. The driving issue is the existing pazcel that has been in the City for many yeazs -the Adria Labs (Phazmacia) property. When Jerome Township created their fire district, they inadvertently excluded all incorporated azeas. Thus Adria Labs is currently not officially served by either Washington or Jerome Township fire departments. Adria also does not pay fire levy taxes to either jurisdiction. When this was recently identified at an annexation public heazing before the Union County Commissioners, the City of Dublin committed that it would take action to correct this. I Mr. Smith added that this ordinance furthers the policy adopted by a previous Council that the City of Dublin would all be served by Washington Township fire department to ensure a uniform standazd of services. He is hopeful that the Union County Commissioners will take appropriate action upon receipt of this certified petition from the City of Dublin. The Supreme Court of Ohio has previously ruled favorably in an identical case involving the Concord Township fire service issue. Staff is requesting passage by emergency tonight because it is a safety issue. Mayor Campbell clazified that Adria Labs is already within Dublin's incorporated azea and thus pays income taxes to the City of Dublin. The issue is one of providing uniform fire and emergency service to all entities within the boundazies of the City of Dublin. Mr. Hansley added that the other parcels will be residentially developed. The fire service change should be made prior to the construction and occupancy of those developments. He assured Council that the Washington Township fire department can serve this area since they are currently serving the area under a mutual aid contract. Mr. Zawaly moved to waive the three-time reading rule and treat this as emergency legislation. Mrs. King seconded the motion.

Ordinance No. 101-94 - An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a New Contract with the Law Director. (First Reading) Mr. Strip introduced the ordinance. Mr. Hansley stated that the City Charter mandates that the Manager enter into a yeazly contract with the Law Director for legal services. Staff is recommending to Council that the Law Director be retained for an additional yeaz under the same terms and conditions provided under the previous contract. Mr. Zawaly asked about pazagraph "c" under Section 3 of the contract where it states that "records shall become Dublin's property except for information which would be classified as work product under Ohio law." He asked for additional clarification about why this work product would not belong to the City of Dublin. Mr. Hansley and Mr. Smith will provide clazification prior to the next reading. There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the November 21 Council meeting. Resolution No. 20-94 - A Resolution Approving a Modified Design for the Community Recreation Center and Additions to the Base Contract, Accepting a Revised Construction Cost Estimate, and Declaring an Emergency. (First Reading) Mr. Kranstuber introduced the resolution. Mr. Hansley stated that following Thursday evening's meeting, staff drafted this resolution based upon the action taken by Council at that meeting. Mr. Foegler noted that since there is not currently a base contract, he would suggest substituting the word "building for contract" for the word "contract". Staff recommends adoption with this amendment. Mr. Kranstuber moved to amend the title of the resolution as Mr. Foegler has suggested. Mr. Zawaly seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes. i Brief discussion followed regarding future employment of a construction management consultant for the project. Responding to Mayor Campbell's request for justification for the emergency language, Mr. Foegler commented that: (1) since the design firm is proceeding now with the design of the Center based upon the modifications agreed to by Council; and (2) in order to adhere to the timeframes, emergency action would be appropriate. Mr. Strip moved to waive the three-time reading rule and treat this as emergency legislation in order to provide cleaz direction to the azchitectural firm. Mr. Zawaly seconded the motion. Vote on the motion -Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes. Vote on the resolution -Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes. Mr. Hansley reported in regazd to Ordinance No. 17-94 that staff hopes to recommend bringing this off the table for action within the next two months. Other Strategic Communications Plan Ms. Puskazcik reported that Mrs. King had previously distributed to Council members the City's Strategic Communications Plan which was developed by a Committee, including representatives of Dublin Schools, the Chamber of Commerce, Convention Bureau, realtors, residents, civic associations, Council members and City staff. Staff is requesting that Council adopt this 1995-1997 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Page 6 Meeting AYT N ~ Held November 7, 1994 19 Strategic Communications Plan. Mrs. Stillwell commented that an element not present in the Plan currently is an internal communications component. She would like to see items such as an employee orientation, customer service aspects and other internal communication pieces included in the Plan. She would propose that this portion be added to the Plan. Discussion followed. Mayor Campbell moved to table the strategic communications plan until the first meeting after the budget discussions are completed, which is anticipated to be the first December Council meeting. Mr. Strip seconded the motion. Mrs. King commented that she is hopeful that discussion at that time includes the addendum for Council communications. Mr. Hansley stated that staff will be prepared to address the resources required for full implementation of the Plan and the addendum at the December 5 meeting. Vote on the motion -Mrs. King, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mayor Campbell, yes; Mr. Zawaly, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Mrs. Stillwell, yes. Ms. Puskarcik asked for clarification about developing an objective regarding internal communications. Mayor Campbell responded that Council's hope would be that the original strategic plan, the internal communications objective, and the Council communications objective could all be considered on December 5 with a determination of the costs of implementation. Council Committee Reports Mr. Kranstuber, Goal Setting Committee reported that the visioning session will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 12 at the Chamber of Commerce Building. Mrs. Stillwell added that the packet of materials includes the draft report from the first session as well as an agenda for the day. The Committee has condensed the goal-setting process into a 6-hour day, the purpose of which is to determine what Council's vision of Dublin is to be in a strategic sense. The operational portion will be the focus of the next session which will include accountability, performance standards and their implementation. She proposed that the next session be held on Saturday, January 7. It was the consensus of Council to schedule this session for Saturday, January 7. Mrs. Stillwell, Public Service Committee reported that two pilot projects for the I & I removal from the private portion of the system will be implemented shortly. The progress will be monitored for report back to Council. She noted that there are no incentives involved with the pilot projects. Mrs. King, Land Use. Planning and Economic Development Committee reported that the Development Department met with the Chamber of Commerce and determined that the matrix I~ assembled by the Committee will be used as the basis for an agreement regarding the division of economic development functions to be performed by the two entities, the City and the Chamber. ii Mr. Kranstuber added that the effort will now become astaff-driven one, with Mr. Hansley and Mr. Foegler working with the Chamber representatives to select a steering committee for the program. Mr. Zawaly, Parks and Recreation Committee of Council noted that the Committee at their recent meeting also reviewed the proposal of a land trust foundation. The consensus of the Committee was that it is to be a private, non-profit organization, not Council or staff driven. It was therefore recommended that private citizens interested in initiating such an effort compile non-profit incorporation articles as well as their code of regulations and undertake whatever research and analysis which is required in order to determine whether whether to seek bed tax funding or some other source of seed money. Mr. Strip, Finance Committee noted that the Dublin Counseling Center dinner this week has been postponed. He also reported that there are conflicts for staff members regarding the Finance Committee meeting of the Whole budget review on Wednesday, November 16 and the session has therefore been cancelled. He and Ms. Grigsby will work out a schedule to compress the hearings so that another session is not needed. If this is not workable, another session can be added.
