the Street section of the plan Mr. Hackworth requested that they add one
unfunded mandate that is to address the Lockville Road / Center Street
alignment. Mrs. Frommer clarified that
needs to be added to the unfunded section of the plan. Ms. Gilleland stated they should title that
the Pickerington Road / Lockville Road realignment. She continued this unfunded project is only
if Pickerington Road is chosen rather than Allen Road the preferred
alternative. Mr. Hackworth stated
usually Service Committee would not address the Parks and Recreation portion of
the CIP, however, under the unfunded portion Mr. Hackworth stated is requesting
they include a municipal swimming pool in the Parks and Recreation section of
the plan. Ms. Gilleland stated unfunded
projects is the category to place dream items, anything they can think of that
could be coming in the next five, ten or twenty years. She continued some of these plans may or may
not occur. Mrs. Frommer stated Mr. Carr
asked her to include a dollar amount for the park entrance on State Route 256
for the Disc Golf Course site. Mr.
Hackworth asked Mrs. Frommer to discuss Land and Buildings. Mrs. Frommer stated she received feedback
that they will likely need to add City Hall Improvement Surplus Items
project. Mr. O’Brien stated he would
like to see the technology line item increased from $25,000 to $100,000 if
possible to get the equipment up to date.
Mrs. Frommer clarified Mr. O’Brien was suggesting a technology
assessment project. Mrs. Gilleland
stated the CIP is a flexible document, as the revenues are pinned down for the
years out and impact fees are consistent the City will be able to better plan
future projects and they may be moved up to be completed earlier. Mr. O’Brien asked does the City have enough
money to complete the City Hall expansion?
Mrs. Gilleland stated they would never have enough money for the
expansion. She continued there are a few
other things they would like to pull out of the actual expansion project and
place in next year’s CIP, such as replacement of the front doors and the fire
and building alarms. Mr. O’Brien asked
if in preparation of next year’s CIP could they receive documentation that
