The City of Dublin does hereby contract with and engage the Delaware,

Delaware, Ohio 43015, to prosecute all cases coming before the Delaware
Municipal Court, Criminal Division, arising out of alleged violations of the

Municipality of Dublin, Ohio, and the Criminal and Traffic Sections of the Ohio
Revised Code which occur within the jurisdictional limits of Dublin; provided
however that the Delaware City Prosecutor reserves the right to decline to
represent Dublin under this contract in any specific case filed in or coming before
the Delaware Municipal Court, upon giving written notice to the Dublin Law
Director at least seven days prior to a scheduled hearing in that specific case.
Dublin reserves the right under this contract to represent itself or obtain other
representation in any specific case filed in or coming before the Delaware
Municipal Court by giving written notice to the Delaware City Prosecutor at least
seven days before a scheduled hearing in a specific case, that Dublin intends to
retain other counsel in that specific case, and other counsel so entering
appearance.
Delaware City Prosecutor further agrees that he will consult with and
advise the Dublin Law Director, when necessary, concerning the prosecution and
enforcement of the Codified Ordinances of Dublin and perform such other duties
as are customarily performed by one holding such position in other similar
municipalities. However, nothing herein shall be construed to limit the
reasonable prosecutorial discretion of the Delaware City Prosecutor.
2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT
