Re: Ordinance No. 107-98, An Ordinance Amending The Annual
Appropriations

Memo
This Ordinance requests supplemental appropriations for the following reasons:
Section 1 -the additional request for plan review services is needed as a result of the continued
strong commercial growth in the City and the continued need for outside services. The Division of
Building Standards is self-supporting through the fees collected for services provided. Through
August the Division has collected $743,795 in revenue and has expended/encumbered $617,795.
Section 2 -this request will allow the completion of the multi-use plaza at the new Coffinan Park
shelter house to be accelerated. The funding to complete the plaza is currently programmed in 1999.
The contract for Phase II of the Coffinan Park Redevelopment, including the initial phase of the
plaza, was recently awarded by City Council. The contract bid included an addendum for the second
phase of the plaza in the event the bid for the base bid and the addendum for the second phase was
within the authorized 1998 funding. The addendum for the second phase of the plaza was not
included in the original contract award because it exceeded the authorized funding for 1998. The
additional appropriations request in this Ordinance will allow the plaza to be completed at one time
and will eliminate the area from being a construction site again in 1999. Because the contractor will
already be on site, the cost of the addendum probably will be less than if the project were completed
as a stand alone project for next year. Also, full programming and use of the shelter house and
accompanying plaza will be available sooner. If this request is approved, the $73,000 will be
deducted from the amount of funding that is currently programmed for 1999. This reduction will
be reflected in the Proposed 1999 Operating Budget.
Section 3 -salaries/wages for work completed along the State highway within the City are charged
back to the State Highway Fund and the original appropriations for this account is not sufficient.
The resources for this fund can only be expended for work along or on the City's State highways.
Section 4 -this appropriation is necessary as a result of overflows earlier this year. With the
completion of the Upper Scioto West Branch Interceptor in the near future, this should be the last
time we will have to appropriate funds for this purpose.

Section 5 -this appropriations request is to provide additional funding to purchase Definitely Dublin
merchandise. The revenue from the sale of this merchandise is credited to this fund and used to
purchase merchandise.
Section 6 -this appropriation provides authorization to transfer funds from the Liability Self-
"" Insurance Fund to the Employee Benefits Self-Insurance Fund. As you will recall, our most recent
audit expressed a concern about the balance in this fund because the City was not exposed to any
~" uninsured risks. This transfer allows us to reduce the fund balance in the Liability Self-Insurance
Fund and provide the necessary funding for the appropriation request in Section 7.
Section 7 -this year we have experienced an extremely high amount of medical claims. Byway of
comparison, we have paid in excess of $1.2 million through August and for the entire year in 1997
we paid a total of $1,034,000. We are estimating that we will pay an average of $150,000 per month
for the remainder of the year. Also, due to our high claims rate in 1998 we will be proposing an
increase in the "premium" charged to each budget in 1999. This will be the first year we will have
an increase since 1993. In 1995, 1996, and 1997 we reduced the "premium" amount charged.
