'~ Subject: Ordinance No. 85-01, An Ordinance Amending The Annual Appropriations Ordinance
Initiated by: Marsha I. Grigsby, Director of Finance ~`c~~--
This Ordinance requests additional appropriations for alcoholic beverages at the Dublin Irish
Festival and design of the Tuttle Crossing extension project.
The request for additional funds for alcoholic beverages at the Dublin Irish Festival is based on
recommendations from the Dublin Irish Festival Steering Committee to modify and expand the
wine selections available at the Festival. It has been identified by the Steering Committee, and
specifically Bob Monica, that expanding the selection and quality of wines available would result
in the Festival being more financially self-supporting while providing products that closely
match the demographics of the patrons attending the Dublin Irish Festival. Please see the
attached memo from Sandra Puskarcik, Director of Community Relations.
The 2001 Operating Budget appropriated $400,000 in the Capital Improvements Tax Fund for
the design of the Tuttle Crossing extension project. Ordinance No. 85-01 provides for the
$400,000 to be advanced from the Capital Improvements Tax Fund to the Rings/Frantz TIF Fund
and expended from the TIF Fund.
""" The Rings/Frantz TIF Fund was established as part of the incentive package developed for
Nationwide's expansion in Dublin. The public infrastructure improvements to be funded by the
TIF are the Rings Road/I-270 bridge widening and the Tuttle Crossing extension projects.
The advance from the Capital Improvements Tax Fund will be repaid when long-term bonds are
issued for the Tuttle Crossing extension project which is currently estimated to be in 2004.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Marsha.

Re: Dublin Irish Festival
Initiated by: Patrick King, Beverage Manager

A proposed expansion to the wine offering at the 2001 Dublin Irish Festival has been established to
increase revenue at the event. Irish Festival steering committee member and owner of The Wine Shoppe,
Bob Monica, has recognized the potential for the Festival's financial gain and has volunteered his time
and expertise to coordinate this venture. Mr. Monica has arranged for the City to work with nine
different vendors who are sole providers of the particular types of wine and cocktails we would like to
sell at the Festival. The vendors, in turn, will have trained and qualified representatives on site to serve
and educate festival-goers on the wine offerings.
The Dublin Irish Festival has had a wine bar the past three years. The basic product line did not
encourage sales therefore minimized profit. In researching comparable festivals with similar
demographics, it was determined that offering a higher quality wine and wider selection would
complement our festival attendee profile.
A total of $5,600 is budgeted in account 217-0113-740.24-20 for wine, cocktail mix and cocktail
alcohol. This memo is to request an appropriation of an additional $41,000 to purchase these
products. The wine tent has the possibility of generating gross revenue of $136,360 and a net profit
of $89,670. The City will pay only for the wine actually sold at the Festival because we will purchase
based only on consumption thereby eliminating the possibility of not making money. On average, each
dollar spent by the City on wine will yield nearly two dollars of profit. By establishing this revenue
stream the Irish Festival will reduce its financial reliance on the City and move closer to the 2001 goal
of becoming 76% self-supporting.
