Section 35.81 Findings and Intent
(a) It is the intent of the City Council to ascertain and recover the specified percentages of full
costs from fees, charges, and regulatory license fees levied in providing the regulation,
products, or services set forth in this Chapter.
(b) The fee and service charge revenue/cost comparison system set forth in this Chapter
provides a mechanism for ensuring that fees adopted by the City for services rendered do not
exceed the reasonable estimated cost for providing the services, unless otherwise noted.
(c) It is the intent of the City Council to achieve a more equitable and fair mix for financing
services set forth in this Chapter in order to reduce or eliminate subsidizing these services
with general tax revenue; thereby, allowing those general tax revenues to be used for general
services, including infrastructure maintenance and replacement.
Section 35.82 Delegation of Authority and Direction to the City Manager
', (a) The City Manager is hereby delegated the authority and directed to provide documents to
!, the City Council to implement its policy to adjust fees and charges to recover the percentage
of full costs as established in this Chapter.
(b) The City Manager is hereby delegated the authority to issue Orders defining terms, setting
out administrative, fee collection, and financial procedures, definitions, and establishing
effective dates of all fees set by the City Council by Ordinance. All Orders shall be signed by
the affected department head, shall be signed by the Director of Finance certifying the
financial requirements of this Chapter have been met, and shall be signed by the City
Manager specifying the effective date of the Order.
(c) "Full costs" shall be as defined in Section 35.80. In adjusting fees and charges, the City
'~ Manager shall act in an administrative and ministerial capacity and shall consider only the
~' standards and criteria established by this Chapter and the applicable State laws. All Orders
issued shall comply in all respects with this Chapter, and the schedule of fees and rates as set
I~ by the City Council.
Section 35.83 Schedule of Fees and Service Charges
(a) The City Manager, Director of Finance, and each City department head, under the
direction of the City Manager, shall review annually the fees and service charges listed in

schedule to the City Council for its consideration so as to recover the listed percentage of full
costs necessary to provide the listed regulation, product or service as modified by the notes
following the list of services. These fees, unless otherwise specified, are for City of Dublin
services and are in addition to any charges made by any other governmental agencies.
(b) The services as listed in this Section shall be as defined in the document entitled "Cost
Study for the City of Dublin, Ohio" as produced by the City of Dublin.
(c) All fees and charges set pursuant to this Chapter and Section shall take effect as specified
in each Order.
(d) The City Manager may vary the review schedule listed in the Section if, in the judgement
of the City Manager and a directly affected and requesting department head, a gross inequity
'' would be perpetrated by not revising a fee or charge prior to the next rate review. Any such
~I' special rate review shall be reported to the City Council at its next succeeding meeting where
'' the City Council may revise the fee or charge by Ordinance.
', (e) If fees are not collected at the time that the service is provided, the City has the right to
'i pursue collection of any of the fees listed in this Ordinance, including certification to the
~I County Auditor, remittance to a collection service, or any other appropriate pursuit for
payment.

Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 73-05, Revising the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges For City of
Dublin Services to be Effective on January 1, 2006
SUMMARY:
Please find attached Ordinance No. 73-05, the annual update to Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances,
which revises the City's schedule of fees and service charges for City of Dublin services, and the memo
of November 21, 2005 as prepared for the first reading of the Ordinance. Unless otherwise specified in
the Ordinance or by City Council, the fees in Ordinance No. 73-OS will become effective on January 1,
2006. The following sections provide additional information for the questions asked during the City
Council meeting on November 21, 2005.
Fees for Smaller Businesses
A concern was raised about development fees for smaller businesses that want to locate to Dublin or
expand their current business. Larger businesses may be able to handle larger fees, but it may be more
difficult for smaller businesses.
Staff works with smaller businesses that provide retention and creation of employment opportunities
within the City. Staff works with companies of varying sizes. As an example, Ordinance No. 74-OS
scheduled for a second reading on December 12 provides for a grant of $7,000 to a company with 40
employees to help off-set relocation costs. Staff is currently involved in discussions with a company that
has 8 to 10 employees. The company is currently leasing space and desires to construct a facility. We
have discussed the possibility of a grant to off-set permit fee costs.
Section 35.84 of Ordinance No. 73-OS also allows City Council to waive fees for the purpose of economic
development or hardship.
Special Events Fees for Police Officers
A concern was raised about why Dublin's special event fees for Police Officers are higher than those of
other area municipalities.
The City's schedule of fees in Ordinance #73-OS is reflective of the actual cost of providing services.
Other municipalities and villages either benchmark against each other's fees or use straight salary and
benefit amounts. Our fee includes allocations of salaries, benefits, operating costs, and overheads.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 73-05.

Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 73-05, Revising the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges For City of
Dublin Services to be Effective on January 1, 2006
SUMMARY:
Please find attached Ordinance #73-05, the annual update to Chapter 35 of the Codified Ordinances,
which revises the City's schedule of fees and service charges for City of Dublin services. The schedule of
fees in Ordinance #73-OS is reflective of the recommendations made by staff based on the actual cost of
providing the services. Worksheets recapping current fees and recommended changes in fees, and a Fee
Comparison Report are attached to City Council's copy of Ordinance #73-OS for review. Proposed fee
changes have been reviewed previously with City staff. Unless otherwise specified in the Ordinance or by
City Council, the fees in Ordinance #73-OS will become effective on January 1, 2006.
Executive Summary of Fee Changes or Modifications
Land Use & Long Range Planning (LU&LRP)
The proposed fee changes relate for the most part to increases in operating costs (i.e. salary and benefits).
The LU&LRP staff closely reviewed work time allocations for services performed by their unit and made
modification where appropriate. These changes, in some instances, resulted in fee increases as in zoning
inquiry response letters (S-002) and rezoning application reviews (S-023). Please see the Fee
Comparison Report for additional detail.)
Engineering and Building Standards
Fee increases proposed for services provided by these work units are typical of past years and are a result
of standard increases in operating costs. The majority of increases proposed for Building Standards relate
to commercial application review and inspection. These increases were necessary to improve cost
recovery to the 100% target.
Police and Court Services
Proposed fee increases for services provided by these work units are fairly standard and necessary to
improve cost recovery to the 100% target.
Recreation Services
Recreation staff proposed changes in the fee schedule based on changing needs of the citizenry they
serve. Proposed changes include the deletion of the "non-prime time" categories for rental of the
Community Hall and Theater to simplify the fee schedule and because the price differential wasn't
significant. A 5% fee increased is proposed for the Community Hall along with modifying the catering
fee to a flat dollar amount instead of a percentage of the catering invoice. The fees for Community Hall
rental have not been increased since its inception.
Memorandum
November 21, 2005
Page Two
Staff proposed modifying the fee schedule for the Theater in an effort to attract a wider range of non-
profit performing art groups. If City Council approves the fee changes for the Community Hall and
Theater, we are proposing the changes become effective after April 1, 2006 so notice can be given to
residents via the recreation brochure and the City's website.
After review of the 2004 and 2005 outdoor swimming pool season, a 5% fee increase for outdoor pool
fees is proposed. The City's subsidy to the outdoor pools in 2004 and 2005 was $200,000 per year. A
5% increase in season pass fees will provide approximately $15,000. Staff reviewed other area pools
with similar amenities as our City pools offer, and the proposed fee increases were within a reasonable
range. (Please see comparison information attached to this memo.J
Pool recreation classes, swim team, and fitness/wellness programs are currently recovering a significant
amount of their costs. The proposed change in their target recovery to 100% is administrative and will
not necessarily result in any immediate fee increases. Swimming lessons will remain at a 50% target
recovery.
Parks & Open Space and Streets & Utilities
Proposed increases include a 5% fee increase in cemetery maintenance and an approximate 8% increase
in interment fees. We also proposed an increase in the per hour fee for maintenance workers when the
City invoices for signage work or other damages to recover the actual cost of the service.
Finance & Other Miscellaneous
Staff proposed fee increases for per hour charges for special events workers and Police Officers. The
events staff is also proposing a $25 permit fee for community events that aren't sponsored by the City.
This fee will recover a portion of the staff time used to assist the event organizer in planning the event.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends holding over Ordinance #73-OS for a second reading on December 12, 2005.
