Resolution 45-22
To: Members of Council
From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager
Date: September 20, 2022
Initiated By: Jennifer Readler, Law Director
Re: Review of Council Liaison Role 5HVROXWLRQ
Summary
City Council discussed the recommendations of the Administrative Committee regarding the
Council liaison role and a potential change to the Council Rules of Order to reflect that role at the
August 29, 2022, work session.
For Council’s consideration, attached is a draft redline reflecting the latest version. This rule will
address liaisons to internal boards and commissions that Council appoints. Internally, there are
boards and commissions that are both recommending and final decision-making bodies, such as
PZC, ARB and BZA. There are also internal commissions that are solely recommending bodies to
Council, such as CSAC.
Liaisons to external organizations, such as MORPC, the Dublin Arts Council and the US 33 Corridor,
are addressed as well.
Council also discussed the boards and commissions to which liaisons might be appointed at the
work session. Council determined it would be prudent to appoint a liaison to the ARB to serve in
addition to the currently appointed liaison to the PZC. That appointment will take place via another
resolution at such point in time Council determines to move forward.

12.03 Council Liaisons to City Boards and Commissions
a. Council may assign a member as a liaison to any of the City’s boards and
commissions.
b. Liaisons are not members of the assigned board or commission and shall not
have voting rights, except as otherwise provided by Revised Charter Section
7.03(a), which pertains to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
c. The primary role of a liaison is that of facilitator of communications between
the board or commission and Council. The liaison shall serve as the designated
channel of communication between the board or commission and Council and
help identify training and planning opportunities, such as coordinating joint
work sessions to address topics of interest. The liaison shall work to ensure
that Council is regularly updated on the work of the board or commission.
d. Liaisons act as a representative of the full Council and, as such, can only
provide guidance that clearly represents the guidance of the full Council.
e. Members who serve as liaisons shall not unduly influence any decision of the
board or commission including any active cases. The liaison may, however,
assist and provide information regarding Council goals, vision, policy and
legislative history.
f. The liaison should regularly meet with the chair and vice-chair of the board or
commission, Planning staff and Legal staff in agenda meetings as the workload
requires. However, the liaison should generally not regularly attend board and
commission meetings.
g. Council shall appoint liaisons at the first regular meeting of Council in each
even-numbered year (the organizational meeting).
12.04 Council Liaisons to Another Public Entity or An Organization
a. Council may assign a member as a liaison to another public entity or an
organization. Those organizations include, but are not limited to the
following:
i. Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission
ii. Dublin City Schools Board of Education
iii. US 33 Corridor
iv. Logan-Union-Champaign Regional Planning Commission
v. Dublin Arts Council
vi. Dublin Veterans Committee
vii. Washington Township
viii. Central Ohio Transit Authority
b. Liaisons act as a representative of the full Council and, as such, can only
provide guidance that clearly represents the guidance of the full Council.
c. The liaison shall serve as the designated channel of communication and
facilitate collaboration and coordination between the organization and Council.
d. The liaison shall work to ensure that Council is regularly updated on the work
of the organization.
