Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 25 -11- Amending the Annual Appropriations for Fiscal Year
Ending December 31, 2011
Summary
Ordinance 25 -11 amends the annual appropriations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 in the
General Fund, the Street Maintenance and Repair Fund and the Hotel /Motel Tax Fund to provide
sufficient funding in certain budget accounts.
Section 1 requests additional funding authorization in the total amount of $815,000 in General Fund
accounts.
The request for additional appropriations of $15,000 in the Community Relations Promotional
Programs account is requested as a result of Council's approval, at the February 28, 2011 Council
meeting, of becoming an Associate Sponsor and supporting the newly created "Legends Luncheon —
Advancing Pediatric Care" event hosted by the Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation and the
Memorial Tournament. The event was held on April 18 at the Ohio Statehouse.
Additional appropriations of $800,000 are requested for the City's commitment to the capital
construction costs for the Avondale Woods Senior Housing Partnership (Avondale Woods) project at
5215 Avery Road. Details of this project are included with Ordinance 24 -11. In compliance with
restrictions specified in the Ohio Revised Code, the City will provide loan proceeds from non -tax
revenues. Should Council approve these appropriations, disbursement of funds for the Avondale
Woods project will be made in accordance with the loan agreement, as authorized by Ordinance 24 -11.
Section 2 requests additional funding in the Street Maintenance and Repair Fund for costs related to
the purchase of salt for snow removal. As in 2010, the City experienced a higher than normal usage of
salt this past winter due to several instances of inclement weather. This request also includes funding
to purchase an additional 413 tons of salt at $60.98 per ton to fill the remaining space in the salt barns.
This price is only $2.00 above the contracted price included in the 2011 Operating Budget. Due to the
significant increase in oil prices, it is anticipated that future salt prices may increase above the current
price of $60.98 per ton.
Section 3 requests additional appropriations in the Hotel /Motel Tax Fund as a result of Council's
approval of a three -year $250,000 in total commitment to support the PGA TOUR'S 2013 Presidents
Cup to be held at the Muirfield Village Golf Club. As Council is aware, the $250,000 financial
commitment is for 2011, 2012 and 2013, with $25,000 committed in 2011, $100,000 in 2012 and
$125,000 in 2013. Funding for 2011 and 2012 is requested with this appropriation, and funding for

2013 will be programmed as part of the Operating Budget process.
Other Information
As a matter of record, due to the significant increase in the cost of oil, the amount budgeted for fuel in
the 2011 Operating Budget will likely be insufficient to cover the increase in fuel costs. As Council is
aware, the City also provides fuel for Washington Township and the Dublin City Schools in which the
City is reimbursed for the cost of fuel plus administrative fees. As a result of these increases, staff will
be bringing a supplemental appropriations request to Council to cover the additional cost of fuel;
however, due to the uncertainty and inability to predict future oil prices, staff believes it is prudent to
wait to request additional appropriations until more accurate accounting can be provided.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council adopt Ordinance No. 25 -11 at the second reading/public hearing on
May 23, 2011.
