AN ORDINANCE PETITIONING THE BOARD
OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF FRANKLIN
COUNTY, OHIO FOR A CHANGE OF TOWN-
SHIP LINES TO THE AREA INCLUDED
WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE
CITY OF DUBLIN FROM CONCORD TOWNSHIP,
AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, in July, 1987, the City of Dublin enlisted the cooperation of
Concord, Perry and Washington Townships to identify methods of
standardizing fire protection and emergency medical services within
Dublin's municipal boundaries when Dublin became a city; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin City Council accepts and incorporates the recommenda-
tions of the Public Safety Committee of the Dublin City Council on this
issue; and
WHEREAS, the Public Safety Committee of Dublin City Council has recommended
that the portions of Concord, Jerome, Perry and Washington townships within
the boundaries of the City of Dublin be brought into a single township
for the purposes of creating uniform fire protection and emergency medical
services within Dublin over a three year period, and that at the end of
this phase in period, Dublin will create a Dublin township and a Dublin
Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, Section 503.07 of the Ohio Revised Code authorizes the Dublin City
Council to petition the county commissioners to change the township
boundaries within the municipal corporation; and
WHEREAS, Section 503.15 of the Ohio Revised Code anticipates that a city
may be located in more than one county and authorizes the municipal
corporation to apply for a change of township lines across county
boundaires; and
WHEREAS, Washington Township has the largest area of township jurisdiction
within the City of Dublin; and
WHEREAS, Washington Township has a fully equipped and staffed fire station
at Brand Road and Muirfield Drive and can respond in the shortest period
of time to fire and medical emergencies in the Concord Township portion
of the City of Dublin, thereby increasing service and reducing risks to
life and property; and
WHEREAS, there have been several tragedies and near tragedies in the
Concord Township portion of the City of Dublin due to distance, dispatching,
delays, and Concord Township's decision not to fully implement the
automatic response agreement with Washington Township; and
WHEREAS, response time to the portion of Dublin in Concord Township has
become a major concern to the residents of that area; and
WHEREAS, the Dublin City Council has reviewed the proposal from the Concord
Township Trustees to raise taxes in order to increase services, and Council
has determined that this proposal, if it is passed by the township voters,
will not enable Concord Township to provide service or response time
equal to or better than the service and response time offered by Washington
Township; and
WHEREAS, more than 1220 signatures have been collected from adult residents
of the Concord Township portion of Dublin urging the Dublin City Council to
extend the boundary of Washington Township to include all of the City of
Dublin in Delaware County
