Memo
Re: Resolution 02 -12 — Franklin County 9 -1 -1 Planning Committee Appointment
Background
In preparing for their first organizational meeting since the 2010 census, the Franklin County 9 -1 -1
Planning Committee is required to change the political subdivisions appointed as committee
members. This reorganization has opened a seat on the committee for a municipal corporation at-
large appointment. Per Ohio Revised Code Section 4931.42, the appointment is for "the chief
executive officer of a municipal corporation in the county selected by the majority of the legislative
authorities of municipal corporations in the county pursuant to the resolutions they adopt."
Although Westerville and Gahanna initially expressed interest in filling this vacancy, they have
since withdrawn from consideration, leaving the City of Dublin as the agreed -upon candidate. In
order to officially seat Dublin as the representative, a majority of the legislative bodies of the
municipalities within Franklin County (nine of sixteen) must pass a resolution in support of the
appointment. Once nine resolutions have been passed in support, Commissioner Paula Brooks, as
chair of the committee, will convene a meeting and complete the appointment.
Dublin serves as a primary public safety answering point (PSAP) for all wireline 9 -1 -1 calls placed
within the city limits of Dublin. In addition, Dublin also serves as one of five primary PSAPs in the
county for wireless 9 -1 -1 calls, answering calls for areas throughout northwest Franklin County
including Worthington, Hilliard and parts of Columbus. As the third busiest 9 -1 -1 answering point
behind the Columbus Police and the Franklin County Sheriff, Dublin is well positioned to represent
the other municipalities in the county. If approved, City Manager Marsha Grigsby will serve as the
representative to the committee.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 02 -12 at the January 9, 2012 Council meeting.
