Re: Resolution 9-05
Clean Ohio Conservation Fund (Round 3)
Project: Hopewell Earthworks and Billingsley Creek Riparian Corridor
Preservation Project
Summary:
The City has submitted a pre-screening document for funding a Round 3 Clean Ohio
Conservation Fund project. Pursuant to review of the City's pre-screening document
and oral presentation for its grant proposal, the funding committee recently notified the
City that its grant proposal is eligible for submittal to the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund.
Please find attached a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to file a grant
application with the Ohio Public Works Commission for Clean Ohio Conservation
funding, and certifying that local funds are available for the City's matching share.
The Clean Ohio Fund, as approved by Ohio voters, is a $400 million bond program to
be spent over four years. Franklin County, District 3, has $2,9 million in available
conservation funding for Round 3 plus un-disbursed funds from previous rounds to a
combined total of over $3,1 million, As usual, funding is very competitive. With
$3.1 million to award, there is over $6.9 million in requests for District 3.
The City was fortunate to receive over $121 ,000 in grant funding during Round 2 that
assisted the City with the acquisition of 2.72 acres of riparian corridor along the Scioto
River near Dublin Road and the 1-270 overpass. The project that we are now asking
City Council to approve for Round 3 is acquisition of 12 +/- acres of a 21 acre tract of
land located along Bright Road and includes a portion of the Billingsley Creek. The 21
acre tract is currently owned by Josephine Holder.
The possibility of acquiring this site poses a valuable opportunity to obtain and preserve
a unique piece of historic property. The site contains Hopewellian Earthworks believed
to be of the Middle Woodland period of Ohio prehistory. Although the outline of the
Earthworks has dimmed over the years from farming use and maintenance of the land,
they are still visible, and are believed to have potential to yield further information about
the human activity that happened there.

The project eligibility requirements are very specific for the conservation fund. If
acquiring land, the grant requires the land to be purchased and retained in perpetuity,
and used for passive nature awareness types of activities. The goals for project funding
are green space preservation and passive recreation, riparian corridor protection and
improved water quality, wetland preservation, and wildlife habitat protection. Projects
such as acquiring land for ball fields, playgrounds, and garden projects are not eligible.
This property has been identified as a desirable property for the City to acquire. The
City's Director of Parks & Open Space has initiated conversations about the possible
acquisition of a portion of the property with the Holder Family. The Holder Family has
been very receptive to staff's requests to make field visits of the property.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 9-05, and requesting City Council's
support in submission of a grant application to the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund.
Round 3 applications are due by May 27, 2005. The grant funding committee will
conduct site visits in early June, and make recommendations for grant funding by the
end of June 2005.
The benefit of preservation and long-term stewardship of this key asset for public use,
education, and enjoyment is immeasurable.
