(Third Reading) Mr. Smith stated that his staff spoke with Mrs. Ailshire recently and Police Office Davis was sent out to the subject site to videotape the nuisance condition. The landowner has proceeded with some of the work Council requested in terms of penning in the dogs out in the field, but has not completed the work with respect to the run. Based upon these efforts and the fact that the officer could not access the property today, Me. Smith recommended that Council table this for final vote until the October 18 meeting. Mr. Smith also requested that Rodney Van Horn set up a time to meet with Officer Davis to view the improvements. Me. Strip emphasized that it is important for the work to be completed prior to Council's next consideration of this ordinance. Rodney Van Horn addressed Council and stated that the project is 90 percent complete. Mr. Smith emphasized that it is important for the officer to get on the site to videotape the improvements so that they can be demonstrated to Council at the next meeting. More discussion followed about exactly what hours the dogs should be closed in for the night. Mr. Campbell recommended that Mr. VanHorn close off his remarks and come back to Council in two weeks to report that he has completed the project. ,p. Me. Strip added in response to Me. Van Horn's question about nighttime hours that barking dogs can be as much a nuisance by barking in the early evening as during the night. A nuisance is difficult to define, but easy to recognize. The neighborhood residents must be satisfied that the dogs are no longer a nuisance. Chief Ferrell commented that Officer Davis has some concerns about how effective the solution will be in quieting the dogs when it is complete. Mr. Kranstuber stated that he does not believe that Council had indicated that building the pen will completely abate the nuisance. Me. Sutphen moved to table the ordinance until October 18. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Me. Strip, yes; Me. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Me. Amorose, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Me. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes.

There will be a second reading at the October 18 Council meeting. Resolution No. 17-93 - A Resolution Specifying the Fire Service to be Utilized in Newly Annexed Land from Jerome Township, Union County to the City of Dublin. Me. Amorose introduced the resolution. Me. Hansley stated that Council recently passed a statement of services for this area, specifying that with the change of boundaries, there would be no change in fire services. Discussion followed at the initial public hearing before the Union County Commissioners about whether Jerome Township could provide service to the area after incorporation, since the ballot language specifies that the taxing district and the fire department are set aside only for unincorporated areas. Since then, attorney Harrison Smith, representing the developers, rendered an opinion at an informal meeting with the Commissioners that any area that was unincorporated on the day that that taxing district was established could remain within their service area even after incorporation - that the intent was to describe an area. This legislation tonight proposes a policy solution to an existing issue. The existing Adria property which is incorporated and which is in Union County, Jerome Township is not presently legally served by either Washington Township or Jerome Township Fire departments. This legislation states that if Jerome Township does not object to the City of Dublin moving that boundary line into Washington township, that the City will take no action in the foreseeable future to further change Washington's boundary into Jerome. This legislation calls for Jerome Township to maintain paramedic service and have and use an automatic response agreement from Washington Station 93. The legislation also calls for the city to take quick action to solve Adria's problem following this annexation. From a fiscal standpoint, the fire department that serves most of Dublin benefits financially in that Jerome Township retains property that will be developed residentially, while Minutes of RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Dublin City Council Meeting Page 5 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK co., FORM NO. 10148 19_ I II ~ I, I' ,I 'I II II , Held October 4, 1993 Washington gains property that has already been developed commercially. Adria at this time pays no fire levy to any township, yet has access to two township fire departments. Mayor Rozanski asked how this legislation would affect future development in Union County, Jerome Township. Mr. Hansley responded that what the city and county commissioners do on this may dictate what happens to the entire wedge of potentially residential property that is within the water and sewer district set by the city of Columbus. Staff would predict that if this legislation passes and the annexation is approved, that the whole wedge would probably stay in Jerome for fire service until and if Council takes other action to create its own department or its own township. Discussion followed about the difference between this area and the former Concord township area of Muirfield in terms of service levels. lI'lf.-."lI Mr. Hansley added that it would be helpful to the developer and the township for Council to vote on this resolution tonight in terms of the date requirements for the hearing on the annexation. Mr. Campbell noted that he is not prepared to vote on this tonight. He believes the resolution should have further consideration. Mr. Sutphen commented that there is an existing telephone problem for the area which is not resolved, yet the developer is looking to have Council quickly vote on this issue. He added that he will not vote on the fire issue until the phone service issue is resolved. He also expressed concern that residents will drive by a fire station and yet be serviced by a township far away. It sets up Council for another problem similar to Concord. .. Mr. Hansley responded that utility companies have no control over boundary lines set up by PUCO for service. Harrison Smith, representing the landowner for the proposed annexation, has stated that the landowner desires to be served by Jerome Township fire department. The developer will communicate to future residents that the area is served by Jerome Township. Wi;.~.' .", Mayor Rozanski expressed concern that the developer sells the property to the builders who in turn sell the lots to homeowners. The communication about fire and other services does not often reach the homeowner. Discussion followed about the effect that passage or defeat of the proposed resolution would have on the annexation. Mr. Smith stated that legal staff could provide a memorandum addressing the issues involved prior to a second reading on October 18. Mr. Hansley added that the previous court case involving the township boundary fire services issue for Dublin determined that the city had the absolute right to move the township boundary into another county. Mrs. King commented that Mr. Hansley seems uncomfortable in making a recommendation to support the legislation. Council has previously indicated their unanimous vote on the issue of fire district boundaries. In view of this, she is concerned that the issue was not first brought to a Council Committee. Council is unprepared to make such a major decision, and consideration should be given to tabling the resolution until issues are resolved. Mr. Strip agreed that this issue should have been brought to Council as a discussion matter instead of as a resolution which effectively "boxes" Council in. Mr. Hansley stated that staff was asked at a public meeting, on the record, to take this resolution to Council. They brought this to Council as a courtesy to the other entities involved. Me. Campbell stated that he believes Union County and Jerome Township officials would understand that Dublin needs ample time to review the issues prior to making a decision. Mr. Amorose moved to refer the issue to Safety Committee. Me. Strip seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Me. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Me. Kranstuber, yes; Me. Campbell, yes; Mr. Strip, yes.

Council has been given a proposal for a needs assessment survey on child care for residents and businesses in the community. The goal is to assess the quality, availability of child care in the community, as well as how affordable it is. For economic development purposes, a survey of the businesses has been included in the proposal which has increased the cost by $4,500. The Committee is seeking Council's approval for funding $9,500 for the survey. Brief discussion followed. Mr. Sutphen moved to approve funding of $9,500 for the needs assessment surveyed proposed by the Committee. Mr. Kranstuber seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Me. Amorose, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Kranstuber, yes; Me. Strip, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes. Ms. Johanssen also advised Council that the Committee is requesting that a permanent advisory committee be established, and enacting legislation will be forwarded for the next Council meeting. Mayor Rozanski cautioned that the rotation of the Committee members should be given careful consideration as it is sometimes a problem during start-up of a new Committee. Mr. Campbell added that in order to be consistent with other committees, they should consider calling it the "Child Care Advisory Committee" instead of "task force". Ms. Johanssen agreed. Final Plat - Riverside Glen North (Applicant: Borror Corporation, c/o Jason Coffee, R.D. Zande and Associates) Ms. Clarke stated that this 2.75 acres is located on the south side of Martin Road, and is part of a larger parcel which extends south into Columbus and will be built as a new subdivision in Columbus. This plat is for three single-family lots with no change in zoning. Staff recommended approval, and P&z unanimously recommended approval with the following conditions: 1. That the building line setback be increased from 30 feet to 50 feet; 2. That a four-foot sidewalk be constructed along Martin Road; 3. That Donald Wyman Crabapples be planted along Martin Road according to Code; 4. That 30 feet of right-of-way along Martin Road be dedicated to the City; 5. That a grading and utility plan be submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to recording the final plat; 6. That the ditch along Martin Road be graded as required by the City Engineer; 7. That the applicant contribute a park fee to the park acquisition fund in-lieu-of land dedication; and 8. That the applicant make a formal application for a stormwater detention waiver or provide for same on site. Mrs. King commented that Council should consider adopting a policy that when a stormwater detention waiver is granted, an appropriate sum be donated to a city stormwater fund. This would be appropriate if and when the city chooses to establish a stormwater utility. She asked staff to comment. Me. Kindra responded that this idea is a good one and can be considered when staff drafts the policy for Council review and approval. , Jason Coffee. R.D. Zande and Associates, representing the applicant offered to answer any questions. Mayor Rozanski cautioned Mr. Kindra that there have been serious problems with the ditch on Martin Road due to the retention pond at Meijer. Careful review of the history of the area should be undertaken in connection with calculations for the project. Mr. Strip moved to approve the final plat with conditions of P&z. Mrs. King seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Me. Kranstuber, yes; Me. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, I II II I ii Ii I I Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 7 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO., FORM NO. 10148 Held October 4, 1993 19 yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Me. Amorose, yes. Adoption of Schedule for Review of the 1994 Proposed Operating Budget Mr. Hansley stated that staff has provided a memo with a schedule for adopting the budget. The schedule is fairly aggressive and requires a major time commitment from Council during the holiday season. Mr. Strip moved to approve the proposed schedule. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Mr. Strip commented that as Finance Committee chairman, he is open to any suggestions to streamline the process. Mr. Sutphen expressed concern that the goal-setting process is not underway, yet it has a big impact on the budget. Discussion followed. Ms. Grigsby commented that staff is hopeful of eventually proposing an annual budgeting cycle including goal setting, capital budgeting and operating budgeting. Discussion followed about the timing of goal setting sessions. Ms. Grigsby added that staff had hoped to have the five-year capital plan prepared this fall, but the major transportation project cost estimates are not complete at this time. Staff hopes to have this update early in 1994. The cash capital portion of the CIP is included in the operating budget. Mrs. King pointed out the importance of examining the operating and capital budgets at the same time; of a greater emphasis on forecasting to better gauge the cost of sustaining services; and to make decisions on the revenue sources necessary to sustain services. fi'" Mr. Hansley agreed, and added that the MSI study is now completed in a discussion draft form. Staff recommends that hearings be held on the MSI study in early 1994. Vote on the motion - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Me. Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Me. Sutphen, yes; Me. Amorose, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Reports from Council Committees There were no reports from Committees.

Sutphen initiated discussion about the staff memorandum provided regarding the Margarita's Restaurant issue. Brief discussion followed about the "approved materials" condition imposed by Planning & Zoning, and whether these were to be landscaping or construction materials. Ms. Grigsby asked about meeting dates for review of bed tax applications. Me. Strip reported that the Dublin Arts Council application has been delayed, and in order to review all applications at once, he would recommend delaying the Finance Committee meeting. Mr. Sutphen commented that he believes the deadlines should be adhered to and everyone should be subject to the same deadlines. Mr. Kindra reported that staff is investigating options to solve the problems with the pond at Lowell Trace subdivision. Staff plans to have this project designed and bid in the spring. Mr. Campbell requested that this be communicated to the residents, and added that when a determination is made of the construction costs, it should be included in the budget. The residents should be informed I about the costs of the project also. I II Discussion followed about the history of the project. Mr. Hansley noted that if there is any legal II way to require the developer to make the repairs, staff will make every effort to do so. II Mr. Kindra also reported that the traffic signal at Blazer Parkway and Frantz Road will be put on I flashing mode from 9 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. The problem with the loop amplifier has been repaired. I Backplates will be installed behind the traffic signal to improve visibility. The 1993 Street Maintenance program is nearly completed. , 'I II Minutes of RECORD OF Dublin City Council Meeting PROCEEDINGS Page 8 Meeting DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO.. FORM NO. 10148 Held October 4, 1993 19 Ms. Jordan urged that Council pass the resolution of support for State Issue 1 on October 18. Professional Parks and Recreation staff members are in support of the bond issue. Ms. Clarke stated that the finalized document of the Southwest Area Plan should be ready within the next month.

Mrs. King asked Mr. Kindra to have a staff member check the stormwater inlet at 745 and Reserve Drive where it protrudes excessively from the curb. Mr. Sutphen commented that he has noticed that the Service Center has a lot of unused/obsolete equipment on the premises. These should be organized and unneeded items auctioned. 1<' Mr. Amorose noted that he will contact Mr. Smith in regard to the pet law and renaming of some creeks. Mr. Strip commented about the resurfacing project currently underway on 33 and resulting traffic tie-ups. He suggested that the state be contacted to request that additional traffic control measures be implemented. This situation is a terrible reflection on Dublin, and Dublin has no control over it. Mr. Hansley responded that staff is providing information on the city radio station 1610, suggesting that motorists take a different route. He added that there is nothing the city can do about the situation - the state has been very uncooperative and unresponsive to the city's requests. Discussion followed. Mr. Kranstuber reported that the Land Use Committee will meet on Wednesday, October 6. Mayor Rozanski commented that the city should use its own generators for special events instead of subsidizing outside rentals via bed taxes. Ms. Puskarcik responded that the Service department is installing a generator on a trailer so that it will be portable and available for special events. It should be ready soon. Mr. Hansley added that a portable stage will be included in the 1994 operating budget to be used for special events.
