Mr. Foegler made an oral presentation of the written report which had been distributed previously to Council. In summary, Mr. Foegler said that the cumulative value of projects which could be supported for long term debt from 1991 to 1995, using two- thirds of 25% of the income tax would be 33.7 million dollars, and that the total amount available for cash expenses would be seven million dollars Mr Foegler also said that staff worked under the premise that there will be growth in the operating budget and a more conservative growth on the income/revenue side. He mentioned sewer and water rate increases and also that staff would recommend to Council that whenever projects can reasonably be done on an assessment basis that they would be done so. Mention was made of the $5 piggyback tax received from the sale of license plates. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting DA N LEGAL BLANK co. FORM NO. 10148 Reln February 18. 1991 19 Page Three It was noted that the suggested philosophy was based on one-thirds cash and two-thirds long term debt from the 25% of the total income tax be designated for capital improvements. It was also noted that any carryover from one year to the next will be viewed as cash. Mr. Foegler said that the growth in the operating budget cannot continue at the present level. Responding to a question from Ms. Maurer, Mr. Foegler said that the sewage detention basin is being ordered by the Ohio EPA and that construction is scheduled to begin on July 1, 1991. He also discussed several projects on the list for 1991 - a water tower and booster station inside of 1-270; the Upper Scioto West Branch Interceptor; a series of water improvements and interconnections; Tuller Road reconstruc tion; widening of S.R. 161 from Franklin Street to Dale Drive; the Muirfiel Drive connector; the Scioto Bridge crossing; Coffman Road to Brand Road extension, Perimeter to Brand Road; Dublin Village Center lighting; Northeast Quadrant park acquisition; and S.R. 161 widening from Dale Drive to Sawmill Road. The Ordinance was referred to the Council Finance Committee which will hold a meeting prior to the Public Hearing scheduled for March 4, 1991. Other Council Ratification of Recommendations of Finance Committee Regarding Allocation of 1991 Bed Tax Funds. Mr. Strip reported that the request for funds from the Columbus Feis would be reviewed at the next Finance Committee meeting. He also said that the request from the Dublin Women's Club for $8,725 be put "on hold" (at their request). There was discussion regarding a request from the Dublin Counseling Center for $28,000.00, even though it was also noted that that request had not been for bed tax funds. Mr. Campbell suggested that the Finance Committee contact the Dublin Counseling Center to see if they are continuing to ask for financial assistance in light of the fact that the building on Post Road will be available for them to use at no cost for a period longer then it was originally thought that it would be. Mr. Campbell moved to approve the recommendations of the Finance Committee (summary attached to minutes) regarding allocation of 1991 bed tax funds. Mr. Amorose seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mr. Strip, yes. Presentation by Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Mr. McDaniel reported that the purpose of the presentation was to update City Council as to the findings of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and to recommend to Council programs for immediate implementation. He also reported that the Franklin County Regional Solid Waste Management Authority is pursuing a hierarchy of strategies which include: reduction, re-use, recycling, incineration and landfills. The Solid Waste Advisory Committee of Dublin, comprised of 10 members (most of whom were present at the meeting) recommended a solid waste management plan which addressed the following: recycling of household solid waste; collection of household hazardous waste; researching of waste reduction; composting of yard waste; and increasing public awareness and educational efforts of solid waste management issues. Mr. McDaniel said that Johnson Disposal has hired a recycling coordinator as well as a recycling operations manager who will be in the field here in Dublin when Dublin starts its curbside recycling program this spring.

FORM NO. 10148 ReIn February 18, 1991 19 Page Four Discussion followed regarding the composition of the residential waste stream, how curbside recycling in Dublin will be accomplished, as well as considerable discussion involving composting and the disposition of yard wastes. It was noted that markets are not readily available presently for a lot of recyclables, and also that there, at the present time, is not a great deal of money to be made in recycling. Several suggestions were made regarding the disposal of yard waste - leaving the clippings on the grass, creating compost piles, a dropoff site, or a "pay per bag" program. Mr. McDaniel briefly mentioned diversion of household hazardous waste, office recycling, an education program, as well as the need in the near future for anti-pilfering legislation. Mrs. King noted that the City of Dublin is considered to be part of the overall Franklin County Solid Waste Authority; that overall Franklin County has to reduce its waste stream by 25%; that hopefully each community will do its share toward that reduction in the three sectors of commercial, industrial and residential; that the City of Dublin is not held legally responsible for reducing its share of municipal solid waste by 25%; that it is the county as a whole. There was discussion regarding proposed State legislation regarding a "bottle bill", and Mr. McDaniel was requested to research the matter, providing more information to members of Council who then could decide whether or not they would want to support such legislation. Mr. Amorose expressed concern regarding the disposition of yard waste, saying that he would like to see the City develop a site for yard waste disposition/composting. Request for Endorsement of Policy Statement Regarding Southwest Quadrant Planning Efforts. Mr. Foegler noted that the statement, as prepared, reflects the City's posture on planning and plan amendments. He also noted that the Planning Commission unanimously adopted the statement as reflecting their under- standing of planning in the southwest area, and that the citizens of the area felt that the statement reflects their understanding in that regard. Mr. Campbell gave a brief history of the events that led to the develop- ment of the policy statement. Ms. Maurer moved to endorse the policy statement regarding Southwest Quadrant planning efforts. Mr. Sutphen seconded the motion. Vote - Mr. Amorose, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes. Council Committee Reports None Comments from Staff Mr. Foegler. 1.

Thanked Council for the allocation of $12,000 from bed tax funds to be used to repair and restore the 1937 fire truck. Council Roundtable Discussion Ms. Maurer 1. Suggested that perhaps an alternative to the sandwich board signs placed in the medians in Dublin, that the City could, as they do in Worthington on their main square, have large bulletin boards placed there by the City, on which various organizations can put up large signs. 2. Also suggested that the City consider having a dinner for members of the boards, commissions and committees of the City to give the members recognition and express Council's appreciation. Mr. Amorose 1. Noted that Mr. Danny Johnson had invited the members of the Chamber of Commerce to a luncheon on Tuesday at the new Municipal Service Complex. Mr. Campbell 1. Said that he supported Ms. Maurer's suggestion with regard to a dinner for the members of the boards, commissions and committees. 2. Wanted to be sure that copies of the Capital Improvements Program proposal were forwarded to members of the Planning Commission. Mrs. King 1. Suggested that perhaps the Capital Improvements Program proposal should be sent, perhaps in some abbreviated form, to the City's civic associations. Mr. Hansley mentioned the News Advisory which had been prepared by City staff and distributed to Council regarding the proposed Five- Year Capital Improvements Program to be published in the media so that the public will be informed about the Public Hearing on March 4, 1991. Mr. Strip expressed a concern about publishing the specifics as proposed in the plan, but felt that notice should be given about the Public Hearing and encouragement be given to public attendance. 2. Requested information regarding the status of the permanent Cellular One tower. Mr. Hansley reported that the project is on schedule; that they are getting FCC approval, etc. and are as anxious as the City to move forward with the project. 3. Signalization at Perimeter Drive and Avery Road. Mr. Willis reported that the contractor began working on Tuesday of the past week on the installation of the signals; that he has begun to install the trench for the electrical service; that it should take him about a week to complete the work.
