Mr. Strip wondered if perhaps some imagination could not be exercised in the schedule of the work on the street improvements in order to cause as little inconvenience as possible to motorists - perhaps requiring the contractors to work 24 hour days, work on the weekends, work when traffic is light, etc. Mayor Rozanski said that the problem would be the availability of asphalt from plants, that the plants do not stay open other than normal working day hours, except in especially large jobs Mrs. King said that she had spoken with Mr. Willis with regard to work on Frantz Road and the probable resulting traffic congestion. She said that Mr. Willis was willing to consider having the work done from 7:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M., but noted that what also needs to be considered is the affect on adjacent residential neighborhoods; the sounding of the alarm system of trucks backing up, e.g. Ordinance No. 45-89 - Ordinance Amending Various Sections of the Codified Ordinances to Provide for and Update Penalty Sections.

Mr. Stephen Smith said that discussion and review would be postponed until June 19, 1989 (with consent of the applicant). Kurb Kut of Ohio Mayor Rozanski said that he would like to place the request of Kurb Kut of Ohio on the agenda, noting that information regarding same had been provided to members of Council in their packets. He also said that it was his understanding that Mr. Paul Willis, the City Engineer, had requested that Council receive the information and make a ruling on whether or not they would allow this cind of curb cut to be done in Dublin. Mr. Willis was absent from the meeting. Mr. Fritz Smith, representing Kurt Kut of Ohio, commented that this is new technology in Ohio; that it was invented in Canada over 10 years ago and has been widely used in Canada, California, Arizona and the Chicago area. He reported that he does asphalt paving and that he had always been curious that when they leave a completed job that 25% of that curb gets torn up for new home site construction. Mr. Smith noted that this technology eliminates that problem because the technology allows one to cut the back of the curb off the concrete and leaves the gutter portion in place, the underdrain nor the interface of the curb and the street are not disturbed. He also said that local engineers had supported the idea of bringing in the machinery and technology to the Central Ohio area; that the political subdivisions are accepting this as an additional method for making curb cuts and that he hoped that Dublin would agree. Mayor Rozanski said that a number of the curb cuts have been installed in Dublin, through the Parks and Recreation Department, mentioning specifically one on Dublinshire, the Lowell Trace subdivision, etc. The matter was referred to the Public Service Committee for their recommen- dation.

Geis reported that the bicycle portion of the race will be changed, that it will be on a different date, different location (half of the route will be in Dublin, the other half in Union County) so as to have less impact on businesses and residents.

Washington Township Merger Package Mr. Hansley requested that any suggested changes or corrections by Council members be given to himself or the Clerk of Council.

Ms. Maurer suggested that the issue be discussed at the Special of Council scheduled for May 22, 1989. Discussion followed regarding the need for a special meeting, etc. Several members of Council recalled that the meeting would be used to discuss the position, role and evaluation of the Clerk of Council. It was decided to have a Special Meeting of Council on May 22, 1989 for discussion of the above, the merger issue as well as a continuation of discussion from the goal setting meeting. 3. Warner Amex cable will be announcing, via a major press conference, plans to upgrade and improve the service available for the Central Ohio area, that the new plan will utilize a fiber optic signal; that it will not involve laying of new wires. 4.

Mr. McDaniel, on behalf of Mr. Harding, extended to members of Council an invitation to attend the new employees' reception which will be held on Wednesday, May 24, 1989 from 12:00 to 2:00 P.M. at Coffman Park. Ms. Jordan 1. Referred to a letter from the Dublin Soccer League, requesting that Council reconsider the policy to charge a fee for the annual summer soccer earn program conducted by Mr. Steven Locker. Ms. Jordan commented that discussions have been ongoing regarding the issue of whether or not various sports' camps held in City parks during the summertime should be charged a minimal fee for park usage She noted that Mr. Locker's business is a for-profit business and that $2.00 per child for park usage is not "too great". Ms. Jordan also mentioned the baseball camp that will be held and conducted by the head baseball coach at Dublin High School _ the money and proceeds will go back into the athletic boosters'fund (which is a non-profit fund). Mr. Jankowski noted that the coach who will be conducting the base- ball clinic, camp will, in all likelihood, have his salary paid from the expenses of the group (the Boosters, whomever is operating the clinic, camp). He went on to say that he felt that the Soccer association, by sponsoring the clinic and sub-contracting it out to Mr. Locker, the exact same thing could be done and the surcharge could be avoided. Mr. Jankowski said that if rent were to be charged for using the space, that it should be charged of whomever uses the space. Ms. Jordan said that the Parks and Recreation Department has never charged a user fee for any non-profit organization. Ms. Maurer suggested that if a fee were required to maintain the fields, etc. that it should be charged. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting Referred to Mr. Steve Hoffman's memorandum to Mr. Hansley about the possibility of collecting income tax for the Village of Powell. Ms. Prushing said that Mr. Hoffman is investigating said possibility. She noted that the Village of Powell would need to get an income tax passed by the voters, and are presently investigatin the amount of money that might be generated via an income tax. She noted that the Village of Powell is seeking for ways to raise additional monies and that Mr. Hoffman is helping them to determine what rate would have to be established, etc., thus acting as a consultant for the Village of Powell. Ms. Maurer said that in talking with Mr. Hoffman that she had gotten the impression that the implication was that Mr. Hoffman would cons ide offering the services of the City of Dublin for collections, just as the City of Columbus used to collect for the City of Dublin; that the City of Dublin would get 3% of the amount of funds collected. She said that she asked Mr. Hoffman if the City of Dublin would requir more staff, more computer storage, more space, etc. in order to accomplish this task, and that Mr. Hoffman said that initially the City would not. Mr. Hansley noted that no commitment has been made; that discussions are very preliminary and that the profit for Dublin would be minimal. Mr. Amorose asked Ms. Prushing if all of the income tax return checks for 1988 had been mailed, and she noted that the last group had been mailed the previous week. Mentioned the copy of the news release in the packets which addressed the cutting of grass and weeds in vacant lots and wondered if that was applicable to 5131 Post Road, noting that the open space at said address does not look very attractive. 3.

Discussed the concern and anger expressed to her by a Dublin resident about the condition of the area around the Camelot record/ tape store in the shopping center at Sawmill Road and S.R.161 _ people camping out all night to get tickets for the Who concernt to be held in Cleveland in the month of July, noting that the debris "was awful" (human waste, bottles, etc.) Ms. Maurer said that she spoke to the Assistant Manager on this date and apparently they were as sunned and upset about the situation as anyone else; that they did not want to lose their positive image in Dublin and that they would be taking steps to ensure that this would not happen again. The District Manager called Ms. Maurer from Cincinnati and noted that they had a Ticketron contract for four years, and that they will be taking appropriate steps to see that the situation does not happen again by: A. Asking that there not be any further radio activities with regards to the Camelot on Sawmill Road. B. Have talked to the Ticketron people about using numbered wrist bands for persons interested in purchasing tickets for a particular even, eliminating the line problem. C. Were concerned about their image, wanting to maintain a positive, relationship with the City of Dublin. Noted that they had asked for our Police Department's assistance but that the Dublin Police Department was involved with the Muirfield Tournament and so Camelot hired a private security force. Lt.

Noted that the administration of Sells Middle School did communicate their formal objection to the proposed carryout beer license for the Sunoco gas station across the street from the school. 2. Expressed concern regarding the waste of administrative time to go out and try to start services for surrounding communities (collection of income tax for Powell) which would net the City of Dublin about $150.00 worth of income per month; that said collection would be a terrible distraction and noted that the City would assume a liability also. Ms. Maurer suggested that it perhaps would be a "good neighbor policy" to offer advice. Mr. Sutphen 1. Announced that the new dump truck for the Maintenance Division had arrived and that it would be in permanent service very Soon. Mrs. King "oj,;:, 1. Announced a Public Service Committee meeting to be held on Thursday, May 18, 1989 at 9:30 A.M. 2. Status on Glick Road Bridge closing.
