Ordinance 73-21
To: Members of Dublin City Council
From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager
Date: November 2, 2021
Initiated By: Matthew L. Stiffler, Director of Finance
Jerry O’Brien, Chief Accountant
Re: An Ordinance Establishing The Location And Amount Of Cash On Hand For
Change Funds
Background
Since the implementation of Accela at the end of 2019, the Divisions of Building Standards and
Planning have ceased accepting cash payments. Payments for the services provided by these
departments are accepted online via credit cards or electronic checks. Consequently, these divisions
no longer need cash change drawers.
Additionally, due to the increasingly infrequent payment of taxes with cash, the Division of Taxation
no longer needs a cash change drawer. This trend is expected to continue as more payments are
made via credit cards and/or electronic check. In the event the Division of Taxation does receive a
cash payment and change is needed, change can be obtained from the Department of Finance
change drawer immediately adjacent to the Division of Taxation.
Recommendation
Staff recommends passage of Ordinance 73-21 at the second reading/public hearing on November
15, 2021.
