City Council Meeting Minutes October 13, 2015
Tom Smiley from the Groveport Madison Middle School Central
presented Council with a school-to-community program that is being
implemented at Groveport Madison Middle School Central. The
"Central Citizens" program at Middle School Central will dedicate
itself to finding quality community service and citizenship related
activities for student participation. Ideas for the program include leaf
raking; providing child care and adult care for families in need;
keeping a news pipeline fluent between the school and the
community; working with clubs; and creating working relationships
with retirement and senior living centers. Mr. Smiley invited everyone
on Council to share their thoughts and ideas on programs for
Groveport Madison students. School and community go hand in hand
and community leaders are needed to show students what needs
done.
Council Member Hilbert raised the matter of the crosswalk in front of
Groveport Madison Middle School Central. A parent had expressed
their concerns regarding cars not slowing down or stopping for the
children crossing the street. Mrs. Hilbert is aware of the crossing
guards at the elementary school but when the elementary school lets
out the middle school youth may already be gone. She referenced
Ohio Revised Code 4511.46 Pedestrian on Crosswalk has Right
of Way: When traffic controls are not in place or not in
operation, a driver shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian
crossing the roadway in a crosswalk when the pedestrian is
upon the same half of the roadway as the driver, or so close as
to be in danger. Council Member Dildine suggested looking into new
signage for all the pedestrian crosswalks when the City puts the new
crosswalks on Wirt Road. City Engineer Steve Farst commented
about the MORPC program where State safety funds are being
administered to cities who nominate pedestrian areas of concern.
The State would provide not just the funding but the installation as
well. There were options to enhance existing crosswalks with more
visible bar striping or to install countdown timers at pedestrian
crossings. Another option is rapid reflecting beacons which are solar
powered devices. Groveport nominated crosswalks that are right in
front of the schools. The crosswalk in front of the middle school on
Main Street (which is not at an intersection) and pedestrian areas on
Wirt Road have also been nominated. Mr. Farst has been notified
that the City is going to get funding; the exact amount is to be
determined. Public Works can look into the signage in regards to the
crosswalk in front of Middle School Central.

IX. Other Business
a. 2016 Budget
Administrator Hall stated Finance Director Green will start with
Revenue and she will go over the Appropriations. Ms. Hall advised
Chief Building Official Stephen Moore and Director of Golf Tom
Walker will not be attending today's meeting. Public Works
Superintendent Dennis Moore will be called in when his budget
comes up for discussion. Dennis Moore is at the demolition site of the
Tinman water tank.
Mr. Green referred everyone to their budget packet and the list of
Fund descriptions. One thing that isn't clearly understood is how
governmental accounting works, especially by the public. It is made
up of a lot of funds. Since the City has all these funds, cash can be
transferred from one fund into another, typically from the General
Fund to some of the other funds. The General Fund reflects all the
revenue receipted regardless of where the revenue is received. The
department is conservative in the accounting of next year's revenue;
such as shown in the Income Tax Revenue projections. The
City of Groveport Page 11
City Council Meeting Minutes October 13, 2015
department thinks the revenue projections for 2016 are very
conservative. Finance would rather under promise and over deliver
than have to make cuts and stop planned projects later in the year.
Though revenue projections for 2016 are conservative, the City is
looking for an increase between 4 and 5 percent in income tax. The
City has a balanced budget and its revenue will exceed its expenses
(if revenue would ever not exceed expenses, the City will cut its
expenses). The General Fund is the biggest fund, largely made up of
the income tax revenue, with other fees going into it as well. The
General Fund is what funds the operations of the City,
Administration, Finance, Engineering, etc.
Ms. Hall went over the expenditures for all the funds. The following
highlights out of the ordinary expenses, new purchases and items
other than general operations.
General Information
Insurance is unknown at this time. Considering the low increases the City
has seen in the past few years, we are due for a larger increase. For now, a
30% premium increase has been assumed. Appropriations will be amended
once the increase is finalized, hopefully downward.
Police
2 additional officers (to be hired 07/01/2016)
Capital - 2 cruisers
Community Affairs
Programs - added expenses for new programs
Capital - New security systems for both Town Hall and KidSpace
Senior Transportation
A portion of salaries and expenses are covered under the senior
transportation grant fund.
Mayor’s Court
Contract Services - Magistrate
Legislative
Contract Services - Granicus, Walter Drane for codification, Records
Retention Program
Cost of video services in Council Chambers added to operating
Grants - additional added due to increased interest
Administration
Contract Services - includes Comprehensive Plan Update $25,000 and
MORPC
Rickenbacker study $10,000
City of Groveport Page 12
City Council Meeting Minutes October 13, 2015
Trees and Decorations Committee - new wreaths for street lights
Parks
Capital - Cushman; Cub Mower; 1-Ton Dump Truck w/snow plow -
currently has to use Public Works; will use for snow removal in parks and
parking lots and hauling mowing equipment; Street Dept. can use during
projects
HR Administration
Education - Brenda’s education
Programs - employee education, flu shots, in-house training, service awards,
etc.
Contract Services - much lower than 2015; no HR program being proposed
Building and Zoning
Operating Supplies - additional file cabinets needed and computer
replacement
Capital - pick-up truck replacement (replace 2001 P/U with 91,414 miles)
Facilities
Contract Services - all facility contracts were re-evaluated as to where to be
included in the appropriations; FMX licensing and technical support;
$100,000 for demolition and clean-up of old water treatment plant building
and old lean-to structures; $50,000 for architectural/engineering services for
a new building on the old water plant site to house Facilities, Parks and
Transportation offices.
Engineering
Add Administrative Assistant (50% here; 50% in other Funds) - Street
Maintenance and Facilities shared the cost for an Administrative Assistant in
the 2015 Budget. Instead of a new hire, the Executive Assistant has also
taken on this role for them, so we have no other staff available to provide
assistance to the Engineer, who is currently performing much of his own
administrative duties.
25% of the Engineer’s salary is being funded by the Storm-water Fund.
Comparing the 2015 revenue received into the Engineering Dept. for
reviews, etc. and any expenses owed for outside engineering services
(approx. $213,025), the 2016 Engineering Dept., including an
Administrative Assistant, will basically pay for itself. This was our hope
when this position was hired.
Transportation
Director salary and dept. misc. not directly related to Senior Transportation
or GREAT operating costs. This allows us to isolate operation expenses
separately for those two programs.
City of Groveport Page 13
