w~. Discussion of Street Lighting Program for Perimeter Center
Mr. Bowman's comments were as follows:
rr..
1. Purpose to inform Council members of a street lighting program in
Perimeter ShoppirB Center at Avery and Post Roads.
2. The City is working on a comprehensive study to include street
lighting as well as all other aspects of power and utilities.
3. Looked at a number of proposals with the power company, looking at
different types of fixtures for street lighting.
4. A recommendation, after study, will be made that the developer install
the street lights and that the City will pay for power and Long term
maintenance.
5. Mark Jones of the City Staff has been spearheading the project.
Mr. Bowman introduced Mr. Bill Logan, lighting consultant, who has worked
with both the City and Planned Communities, and who had a presentation with
slides and comments.
1. The City has had a unique opportunity in that it has had the
opportunity to participate in the selection of the street lighting at
Perimeter Mall.
2. The site is located to the west at Avery Road, bounded on the north
by Post Road and the major thoroughfare being S.R. 161.
3. The roadway systems involved at this point are Perimeter Drive,
Perimeter Loop Road and a portion of Wilcox Road.
4. There will be 47 luminaire positions in the area, all with public
street access.
5. The standards are 37', and will be adjacent to the roadway surface.
6. 400 watt high pressure sodium luminaire.
7. Mr. Long had an example of said light at the meeting and noted that
this particular light was very easy to access and therefore maintain.
8. The color to be selected will probably be deark bronze or black.
9. The total cost for installation of the 47 lights will be $140,000.00,
to be paid by the developer and not the City.
10. The system as designed has the conduit in direct contact with the
earth and the wire has been pulled through the conduit.
11. All copper wiring.
12. The trench position is also marked with a tape.
13. The system is designed around 240 volts which is similar to a
residential based system.
14. The City has the ability to select the system.

15. The cost of maintenance per pole would probably be $2.50.
16. There is also insurance involved (vandalism or vehicular accident);
said insurance cost to be borne by the City of Dublin.
17. Three primary advantages to the luminaire selected -
A. The cost is lower when compared to the "shoebox-type" luminaire
which would be used by Columbus Southern Power.
B. Has the ability within the same housing to vary the light
pattern, depending upon placement of the lights.
C. Will support wattage for 70 watts up to 400 watts, all using the
same housing.
18. Columbus and Southern Power has a leased system, said cost to be
approximately $25.00/pole/month.
19. The developer would pay the cost for the underground wiring.
20. On a dollar basis, the annual savings to the City in utilizing the
private contract would be $12.30/pole/month - in the case of Perimeter
Center with 47 poles, the City would save approximately a little less
than $10,000.00 annually.
Mr. Campbell said that he felt that two assumptions were being made - the
assumption that all developers will pay for installation of the lights and
that the City will be expected to set aside funds to spend large sums of
money in 30 years to replace the lights.
It was noted that the system was designed for breakaway and that the light
is manufactured at company headquarters in California, with a well
established lighting company, being in business since World War II.
Mr. Logan noted that the luminaire being proposed would have flexibility
rr. in that it has the ability to be adaptable to other pole locations and
application and can be used in both residential areas as well as main
thoroughfares.
He also said that it is a simple luminaire to maintain, noting that there
are basically four parts, all of which can be individually replaced if
necessary so that the down time on any individual light is minimal - a
broken unit can be replaced immediately, the light will work, and the
broken unit can be taken to the shop and repaired and be available as a
spare should another unit break.
Mr. Sutphen had a very positive response to the proposed lights, noting
that the current street lighting situation is less than desirable. He
suggested purchasing an extra light and placing it on City property so that
one would be available for parts or replacement if needed.
Mr. Bowman commented that the City is also considering these lights for
Blazer Parkway also.
Mr. Logan suggested that the lighting in Perimeter Center represent a sampl
situation, noting that what was being assessed would be a street lighting
system, not a street lighting unit to be considered in its total. He
noted installation of this particular system at Perimeter Center would not
commit the City to any long term obligations in other areas.
It was the feeling of several members of Council that because Columbus
A Southern Power has not been responsive with regard to replacement and
repair of fixtures, and that the City needs to consider being responsible
for its own stree lighting system.
Mr. Jones said that the City would investigate the possibility of going to
a master meter on the power rather than paying per fixture, and would also
be making recommendations for standards for lighting levels.
A majority of the members of Council preferred the dark bronze color for
the fixtures.
Mr. Sutphen moved that the City Manager be given direction to proceed with
the street lighting program as proposed, using the Perimeter Center as an
example, the wiring to be in a conduit, and that the preferred color is
bronze.
Mrs. King seconded the motion.
Vote - Mr. Campbell, yes; Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mr. Amorose, ye ;
Ms. Maurer (preferred the color white) Mr. Strip, yes, Mayor Rozanski, yes.

Report from Finance Committee Regarding Bed Tax Allocations for 1990
Ms. Maurer summarized the recommendations of the Finance Committee as
follows:
1. Dublin Parks and Recreation Department's request for $3,700.00 for
Olde Dublin Paint-Out be granted.
2. The Dublin Historical Society's request for $80,000.00. A representa-
tive from the Historical Society was not present at the Finance
Committee meeting and the committee did have some questions, and
recommended holding the request for further action.
3. It was recommended that the Dublin Tree and Landscape Advisory
Commission's request for $4,632.50 for Arbor Day activities be
denied; that funds for said activities should come from the City's
budget.
i
4. Convention and Visitors Bureau request for $44,000.00. The Finance
Committee recommended giving the Bureau $21,000.00 (subject to future
review) noting additional bed tax monies might be received by
allocation since new motels could be coming on line this year.
5. The Dublin Women's Club request for the Arts Festival in the amount of
$2,125.00 be granted. The Festival does bring a lot of visitors into
Dublin.
6. The Columbus Feis request for $15,800.00 be granted.
7. The request for $11,235.00 for a gateway from the Brandon Way
Association be denied, it being noted that granting such a request
could set a precedent for providing City monies for development of
gateways for each subdivision in the City.
8. Llewellyn Farms Civic Association's request for $150,000.00 for park
land acquisition and development of a park be denied; suggested
the Association discuss their plan and desires with the Parks and
Recreation Department staff.
9. No recommendation regarding the Dublin Arts Council's request for
$91,450.00, but suggested the Arts Council present their request to
Council as a whole at a future meeting.
10. The request from the Planning Department for monies for ten new
kiosks be reduced to monies for construction and placement of three
new kiosks.
11. The request for monies from the Irish Celebration be granted.
Mr. Strip also recommended that any group who wishes to do so, may make
an appearance before Council as a whole to appeal the recommendation of
the Finance Committee.
Following discussion regarding the need for further, more psecific
information regarding the Dublin Historical Society and Dublin Arts
Council's requests for funds,
Mr. Strip moved to approve the recommendations of the Finance Committee
except for the Dublin Historical Society and the Dublin ARts Council,
and that an invitation be extended to those two groups to appear before
Council as a whole.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion - Mr. Strip, yes; Mr. Campbell, yes; Ms. Maurer, yes;
Mrs. King, yes; Mr. Amorose, yes; Mr. Sutphen, yes; Mayor Rozanski, yes.
Mr. Strip suggested amending the current bed tax ordinance, stating that
bed tax funds shall be used primarily for known activities within the
City of Dublin and only under special circumstances should bed tax funds
be expended for travel and related costs.

Mr. Strip also suggested amending the ordinance to read that a report be
given to the City of the usage of funds 90 days after the function or 90
days after the specific, specified usage of said funds.
Mr. Smith suggested writing a purpose clause to the bed tax ordinance,
noting that the subject had been discussed previously but nothing had
been done.
Ms. Maurer suggested that there was one circumstance in which the suggested
purpose clause be modified - that would be relative to activities
associated with the Sister Cities Organization, such as people exchanges.
Ms. Maurer said that she would prepare a memorandum regarding the above
topic.
Mr. Campbell said that he had questions regarding the Dublin Arts Council
request, wondering whether they need to subsidize four performance
events in 1990, as well as questions regarding the $30,000.00 requested
for the Art in Public Places project.

A Mr. Bowman
1. Suggested that the tentatively scheduled meeting concerning traffic
improvements be re-scheduled for a later time than January 15th so
that the information could be made available to Council members for
study and review prior to a meeting.
Therefore, it was decided to schedule a discussion on the proposed
capital improvements for 1990, as well as discussion regarding the
projects to be included in the bond issue package, said special
meeting of Council to be held on Monday, January 15, 1990 at 7:30 P.M.
in the lower level meeting room.
Discussion Regarding 1990 Budget
Mayor Rozanski suggested that rather than discuss specific budget items at
this meeting that members of Council either write or discuss verbally
their questions, comments, etc. with staff prior to the third reading of
the Ordinance at the next Council meeting.
Ms. Maurer preferred to address her concerns, questions, etc. at this
meeting. Discussion, clarification, etc. on various budget items is
summarized as follows:
1. Requested clarification and/or a policy proposal as to proposed
projects and millage.
Mrs. Metz said that staff was preparing a capital improvements list,
reviewing the current capital improvements in the budget, including
inside millage.
She said that the City currently has committed just under 6 mills in
inside millage and that the City would not want to get it above 8 mill .
Mr. Hansley commented that one purpose of a voted bond issue is to giv
the voters an opportunity to say "yes, we like that project".
2. Council at their goal setting meeting had discussed setting aside
monies to allow Council to meet with and establish positive working
relationships with e.g., the Dublin School Board, the Columbus City
Council, township trustees and councils of neighboring communities.
Discussion about where those monies would come from was initiated,
but nothing definite was decided.
Mr. STrip suggested that perhaps the budget items being discussed were too
minimal in the scope of a 17 million dollar budget on which to spend such
time and energy.
3. Consider putting an item in the budget (staff, etc.) for the purpose
of evaluating franchises (Warner Cable, in particular) prior to re-
negotiating their contract.
Mrs. King suggested that such projects not be implemented until Counci
has an opportunity in the goal setting process to examine the role of
consumer advocate or consumer function within the City.
~ 4. Budgeted amount for special legal counsel - too low?
Mr. Smith acknowledged that 1989, because of the merger issue, etc.,
had been a high figure but that in previous years the figure had
been much lower.
Mr. Smith also said that he would seek approval of Council in the
hiring of special legal counsel in amounts of over $5,000 to $10,000.
5. With regard to the budgeted amount for the Tree and Landscape Advisory
Commission, Mr. Bowman said that staff seeks their (the Commission's )
approval before proceeding on a project. He also noted that a number
of landscaping projects will be done in-house, that monies had been al otted
for additional studies in the southwest, northwest sections of the
City as well as for computer software to be used in planning.

6. Under miscellaneous expenses there is a budgeted item for contractual
and refuse collection and recycling.
Ms. Maurer asked Mrs. King whether that would be done with the current
contracts or perhaps in some other way.
Ms. Maurer wondered whether Dublin should begin to perhaps consider an
environmental fee to help pay for recycling.
Mrs. King said that she felt that it was a little premature; that ther
will be many changes before the development of a plan.
Mr. Amorose suggested consideration of development of Dublin's own
landfill for yard wastes.
7. Ms. Jordan, with regard to the number of lifeguards at the pool, said
that the City employed 22 lifeguards in 1989.
8. Goals regarding development of water and sewer capabilities.
Ms. Sutphen said that he felt that it was important to continue to
maintain a thought process of creating at least a water source for the
City's own use.
Mayor Rozanski recalled that at goal setting it was the consensus of
Council to keep the goals of development of both water and sewer
capability in Dublin, since there is still no commitment on the West
Branch Sewer.
9. Why so much building plan review, contract engineering, inspection,
etc. .being contracted out?
i
The City, Mr. Hansley explained, is operating in an interim situation
rr... and that the appropriate staff positions should be filled in the
next several months.
10. The $50,000 item on page 44 with regard to hotel/motel tax.
Ms. Metz said that last year situations arose wherein there were some
additional expenses as related to projects funded by bed tax funds
which required the City to spend monies; e.g., traffic control,
barricades, fencing, etc.; those being indirect charges.
11. The increase in maintenance and repair of utilities, equipment was
budgeted higher because there is more equipment on line,as well as
booster stations, etc.
It was noted that the City has a surcharge on water fees but not sewer.
For additional monies Mr. Hansley said that he felt that staff would
probably recommend an increase in tap fees rather than a surcharge.
It was also noted that the City will be self-insured (health and dental
insurance).
Mrs. King noted that on page 1 under goals and objectives that it is not
just a matter of being responsive to public needs but also a matter of
creating both, and on page 3 it should be added that the City Manager is
to carry out Council's goals and policies.
Mrs. King also noted the $100,000 budgeted for street salt and said that
the Public Service Committee will be studying the issue of use of street
salt at their next meeting.
Mr. Hansley commented that how much salt, etc. used is a policy issue to
be decided by Council, noting that the City of Columbus does not plow or
salt residential subdivisions. He also noted that the Tree and Landscape
Advisory Commission has recommended using less salt or a mixture of
salt with another substance such as cinders, e.g.
It was noted that the Maintenance Division has started adding calcium
chloride to the salt, and said also that normally at below 20 degrees
salt is not effective.

Mr. Amorose said that he did not feel that the amount of salt being used
is excessive.
He also said that the workers are putting the salt down the center of the
roadway, letting the traffic churn it up, not placing it on the sides of ~
the roadway.
Mr. Strip said that he felt that the basic issue is what level of service
to the residents of Dublin want.
Mrs. King said that she wanted it understood that she also favors a high
level of service, but also wants that service to be effective and not
wasteful.
Mr. Strip wondered about the appropriate procedure to be followed to get
questions answered regarding the proposed budget.
Mr. Hansley noted that there are a variety of policies to be addressed
by Council in the budget document.
Philosophically Mr. Strip noted that Mrs. Metz and Mr. Hansley estimate
income lower and expenses are estimated on the high side.
He said that he felt the way to prepare a budget is with a realistic
expectation of income and a realistic expectation of outcome.
Mayor Rozanski recommended that if Council members had additional questions
that they address those questions to City Staff personnel over the next two
weeks.
Council Roundtable Discussion
Mr. Strip
1. Welcomed Mr. Joel Campbell.
Ms. Maurer
1. Following a brief discussion regarding appointments to the Council
standing committees, the Clerk was requested to prepare a list of
the current standing committee memberships of Council.
Mr. Amorose
1. Requested an update report on smoke testing.
In the River Forest area found some downspouts that were tied in;
found a driveway culvert in Muirfield that was tied into a sanitary
sewer; have found nothing in Shannon Park and Hemingway areas.
2. Noted that Dublin is entering into the second decade as a Charter
city and said he was looking forward to the 90s.
Mr. Sutphen
1. Mentioned the situation/problem with street addresses in Dublin
Village and wondered regarding the status of same.
Mr. Mack said that with regard to Dublin Village that progress had
been made - the developer was notified in October and asked for
r,.,,,,, input, but that to date said developer has not responded.
The Post Office requested that the changes be delayed until after the
holidays.
Should everything be in place new addresses will be assigned the
first of April, and the Post Office has assured the City that they
will continue to deliver mail to those addresses for approximately
on year's time.
Mrs. King

2. One of the first duties of the new Special Events/Public Information
~.r Officer person should be to establish a community events calendar.
Ms. Jordan reported that the Convention and Visitors Bureau does
publish such a calendar on a quarterly basis.
3. The possibility of a stop light at Frantz Road and Tuttle Crossing -
will there be one?
It was noted that that intersection is in the county, but that the
Edwards Corporation has committed to putting in a traffic light when
the traffic is such that a light is warranted.
Mr. Campbell had the following comments:
1. Council needs to project an image of professionalism and needs to be
decisive and efficient in dealing with legislation and legislative
matters.
2. The length of meetings can be reduced by efficiency in operation.
3. The tabling of items should be reduced to a minimum; decisions should
be made.
4. Fairness in dealing with citiznes and their concerns should be a
priority.
5. The amount of emergency legislation should be kept to a minimum,
giving interested parties an opportunity to express their views.
6. Be mindful of the topics discussed in executive session, keeping them
in conformance with the Sunshine Law.
7. The Council Chambers, as well, should portray a more professional
image - a sound system that works, cleanliness, lights that are
trw operational, etc.
8. Citizens need to feel that they have had an opportunity to express
their views and have been given a "fair shake" in an atmosphere and
circumstances in which official business takes place.
9. The people who have volunteered and served on the boards, commissions
and committees need to be recognized - not six months after completing
a term but at the last meeting of the board, commission or committee
or at the next Council meeting. A personal thank you and pat on the
back mean a great deal.
Mayor Rozanski adjourned the meeting at 11:20 P.M.
