Finance staff and the city’s bond team delivered an overview of the year’s proposed issuances and metrics, and then the council introduced a series of ordinances (first reading) authorizing authorization levels for notes and bonds. Items introduced included a short-term note authorization of up to $4,875,000 (to be repaid from the general fund/Parkland Acquisition Fund and amortized over 12 months), a $5,000,000 bond authorization for municipal recreation facilities (DCRC) amortized over 20 years, a $10,430,000 authorization for Northern Historic District infrastructure improvements, a $650,000 authorization for sanitary sewer improvements (Avery Road relief sewer), and refunding authorizations (including $16,000,000 and $32,900,000 figures presented). Staff explained these are \"up to\" amounts and the city may not issue the full authorization depending on market conditions.

Jamie Hoffman, presenting for finance, said the city’s debt metrics remain within policy guidelines overall, and the timeline included a second reading and public hearings scheduled for June 23, pricing in August and closings later in the late summer/early fall, depending on the instrument. Hoffman cautioned that refundings would proceed only if the transaction produced net present-value savings; he said, \"we will not proceed with these if there's no savings.\" The council did not vote on these bond/refunding ordinances at the meeting; they were introduced for consideration and scheduled for second reading public hearings later in June.

Staff also introduced an ordinance to replace the city’s bond registrar and paying agent with U.S. Bank Trust Company after a bond-counsel and municipal-advisor review. No formal votes on these introductions were taken; staff and bond counsel present offered to provide additional callable-schedule detail at the second reading if council wished.","Council received presentations and introduced multiple ordinances authorizing notes and bonds for parks, recreation, infrastructure, sewer projects and refundings; second readings and pricing were scheduled for later dates.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6525303,"Council approves speed-management plan; committee recommends ending tactical warning cameras",278,1512000,1790000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626162-6acedc38cd99758f1a1ea887b4711a4d&start=1512&end=1790","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626162-6acedc38cd99758f1a1ea887b4711a4d/thumbnail_1512000.jpg","/articles/6525303/Ohio/Council-approves-speed-management-plan-committee-recommends-ending-tactical-warning-cameras","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525303-e8275afe13ba6349b11605a109f067eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771045839&Signature=XVE96RGPAk~LGJi6Jz2V6V8qQ1sCAkyYdXEyGOYKBdlB7mTIVRe7e1mrCX43lmIIF6PsfXD4EXQKLWQWfWFCDdwB6OBtabsG902Mw2IlR96RJH29dInQcCdNm1VTTiivHQqP6B6xKdQusyP9L5VNePqMVDxHGuDiX3Z2S2b-BF2ezihVBopDYnHS-5yi5nuEFnF08YJDCnHUPSlBzVTQfwESVBvpI~5Xnuh8Ie1ZKgdG5NqEntYl1zrZCDHQFiv6XsLZqbVK44hWruXeZmVXYFIBlipn5c4QqvDloKTo~xoZb06hknaVVlgCp2LBYnXPS0ii1Je9eXkeAGPdW6~DXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dublin City Council voted to direct staff to implement the Public Services Committee’s speed-management recommendations, which include ending a tactical warning camera pilot and deploying other non-enforcement tools to reduce vehicle speeds.

At the May 14 Public Services Committee meeting, staff summarized program results and recommended a set of actions that the committee unanimously advanced to full council. Jeannie Willis, presenting for staff, told council the committee recommended several steps: discontinue the tactical (Gram) warning camera program in locations where it had successfully reduced travel speeds; deploy driver feedback signs and pavement markings where speed limits change over short distances; report back on impacts after installation of new HAWK signals; and consider QR codes at select crosswalks linking to applicable Ohio pedestrian-rights laws. The committee also recommended broader printed outreach and continued evaluation of emerging technologies.

Willis summarized the committee’s motion: \"discontinue the tactical grama warning camera program given the success of the program on travel speeds where deployed.\" Council members spoke in support of broadening outreach beyond social media and using both signage and QR codes to make pedestrian-right-of-way rules more visible. The council then voted to approve the committee’s recommendation by roll call; the clerk recorded unanimous affirmative votes from council members present.

Staff was directed to proceed with the items recommended by the committee and to report back on the effects of newly installed signals and other countermeasures. No ordinance or new enforcement protocol was adopted at the meeting; the action directs staff implementation and future reporting.","The council approved the Public Services Committee recommendation to discontinue the tactical warning camera pilot and pursue driver feedback signs, pavement markings, QR code crosswalk info and outreach as part of a broader speed-management program.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6525307,"Dublin Council OKs incentives for Hexion to open North America innovation hub",201,231000,432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626162-6acedc38cd99758f1a1ea887b4711a4d&start=231&end=432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626162-6acedc38cd99758f1a1ea887b4711a4d/thumbnail_231000.jpg","/articles/6525307/Ohio/Dublin-Council-OKs-incentives-for-Hexion-to-open-North-America-innovation-hub","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525307-4b423eb740c883197bf52ec23d25a08c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771045839&Signature=JeFm84l~kYBwUQZ88VC9HBQtyA1DPnANV-kDiNT4bVvYj-GmKawXeemmBD3cb8u3muvqw36tOy1mcVBDW49I6qLoXYrHX0vn6ATi3z0-i7lvDpkCMc-Anv~RHtAB-5iOQCXIeE8jP7Co4J9qUIniueChMsz2OgryZe35EZugo26Wh9rbPHwxygXWv~8gJWEspHfGf6qP6bllVmszziWfwRhf9XViTrebgLh3ayDkZUahtN8kQI8kdFun0P-aO34URjCZHHfy67djT3CV9XXtV-K2Rrse8UoVeFV1Lmg1Fp2kh0-lAQGMhN1qKsRTElsxQb5jVgAq7Eelq72XTC6hUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dublin City Council voted to approve incentives to Hexion Inc. to locate a North America innovation hub in the city, authorizing a performance-based withholding incentive and a $200,000 location grant.

The approved package includes a 15% performance incentive on withholdings over seven years, which staff said is valued at $314,000 for the term of the agreement, plus a separate $200,000 location grant to support construction costs tied to renovation of the leased facility. City staff presented the ordinance and recommended approval.

Hexion representative Zaru Tecky, identified in the meeting as senior vice president and chief technology officer, told the council the company plans to lease an 80,000-square-foot facility at 5200 Blazer Parkway to consolidate North American research-and-development and technical-service operations. \"I'm here to respectfully request your support for the location grant and performance withholding incentives proposed by the city of Dublin,\" Tecky said. He said Hexion expects to relocate and hire about 50 highly skilled STEM professionals immediately, with a projection of 75 employees by 2027 and 100 by 2028.

A member of the council announced a recusal before the discussion; the transcript does not identify which council member recused. After public comment and no council questions, the clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes from Council Members present, resulting in approval of the ordinance.

City staff indicated the incentive supports the company’s investment and planned workforce growth in Dublin and that JobsOhio had been a partner in the recruitment process. The ordinance authorizes execution of an economic development agreement with Hexion Inc.; the council did not amend the agreement during the meeting.

Next steps noted by staff include finalizing the economic development agreement and moving forward with the company’s lease and renovation plans. No additional conditions or follow-up reports were stated in the meeting record.","Dublin City Council approved an economic development agreement offering a 15% performance withholding incentive and a $200,000 location grant to Hexion Inc. to lease and retrofit an 80,000-square-foot facility and recruit STEM staff.","actionData","errors"]
