Date: February 2, 2021
Initiated By: Matt Earman, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Resolution 06-21 Authorizing the City Manager to sign and submit an

Summary
At the January 4, 2021 meeting, City Council approved the acquisition of properties along North
Riverview Street in Historic Dublin. As part of this acquisition, two parcels to the east of the
street, along the west bank of the Scioto River, will become part of the Riverview Crossing Park
Consistent with the Park Master Plan, these properties will be managed mostly in their natural
state by way of invasive vegetation eradication and strategic planting of native species
throughout the properties. Public access will be provided by way of path systems that will
provide river access and will connect the already existing paths and parks that abut the parcels
on the northern and southern boundaries. These passive management practices and public
accessibility enable the purchase costs of the property to be eligible for grant funding as part of
the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program. As such, these plans will included in the
Deed Restrictions for the property in order to meet the State's qualifying grant criteria.
The grant funding is based on the appraised value and associated costs of the acquisition, plus
up to 5 percent above that value. The property totals approximately 1.805 acres and was
appraised at $117,000. Assuming the project is approved, the maximum amount of funding the
City may be awarded is $93,887.00.
Recommendation
Staff has successfully completed and presented the Preliminary Screener Application to
MORPC's Natural Resources Assistance Council for this funding request. In order to submit the
final application, adoption of Resolution 06-21 is required for this application and to authorize
the City Manager execute agreements associated with the grant process, therefore Staff
recommends approval.
