Mills said Sentaro (the organization name used in the presentation) traces its current name to a 2013 merger and has provided community behavioral‑health services for more than 45 years. She said state and national trends show an increase in adults reporting frequent poor mental‑health days and a continuing rise in suicide rates since 1999; she referenced the Franklin County Suicide Prevention Coalition’s 2024 report showing higher suicidality rates among Franklin County residents aged 75–84.

Mills said workforce shortages are limiting access and that many callers face wait times of six‑to‑nine months for treatment. To increase access, Sentaro is piloting same‑day access at its Lewis Center office with grant support from the Delaware Memorial Mental Health Board; the pilot lets individuals walk in for same‑day screening and linkage to a clinician, with the goal of expanding the model in Franklin County.

Mills described Sentaro’s school‑based prevention work in Dublin City Schools, targeted to elementary‑age students at elevated risk, as a pathway to earlier linkage to care. She also described Sentaro’s intensive outpatient programs and community outreach; more than half of Sentaro’s services, she said, occur in community settings where clinicians meet clients in homes or schools rather than at office locations.

Mills highlighted a public‑safety services liaison (PSSL) partner embedded with Dublin Police that Sentaro launched with city support. Over the past year the PSSL received 158 unique referrals and engaged 77% of those individuals in ongoing supports across roughly 1,000 encounters, according to the presentation. The liaison also helped link people to care and navigate social‑service systems; Sentaro said city and police feedback has been “overwhelmingly positive.” Sentaro said it expects to expand the PSSL model to Washington Township Fire Department.

Mills listed several community partnerships and roles Sentaro plays in Dublin: hosting the Forever Dublin Hub for older‑adult navigation services, fiscal agent for the Dublin Act Coalition (a youth substance‑use prevention coalition), contributions to the city’s community health needs assessment and participating in Envision Dublin working groups. She closed by thanking the city for support and invited questions.

Council members thanked Sentaro for the update and for its collaboration with police and the Forever Dublin program. Mills and council members discussed the workforce shortage and the role of same‑day intake in reducing wait times; Mills reiterated that the organization is piloting service models and pursuing partnerships to expand access.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dublin - City Council - Feb 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Sarah Harrison Mills of Sentaro briefed Dublin City Council on expanded behavioral‑health demand, workforce shortages, and a same‑day access pilot funded by the Delaware Memorial Mental Health Board; she described school‑based prevention services, an embedded public‑safety services liaison and partnerships supporting older adults.","taxTitle","Dublin City Council, Dublin, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",72672,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6696115,"Dublin police present quarterly safety update; launch Business District Unit and new technologies for Bridge Park and Historic Dublin",2300,3751000,6051000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2215969-8b11385dec96d1ca32c542d8b20e75bc&start=3751&end=6051","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2215969-8b11385dec96d1ca32c542d8b20e75bc/thumbnail_3751000.jpg","/articles/6696115/Ohio/Dublin-police-present-quarterly-safety-update-launch-Business-District-Unit-and-new-technologies-for-Bridge-Park-and-Historic-Dublin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696115-02ec0a9e322cb1122070cfd3033dd0dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1774892655&Signature=Uz1XXtEmVUOnRNzIxiPz1lNSjpGe0ilt9Y8zvVn2EByiLiO98tuNzBcmxkqNv6k2EHhW7ddpCzKOgyET6PviEgNTV68iuASFeB-Rp1JTPVv5CLAgDdPSgaRv1mkx~-tb8X-R3d-4x1aPLi6YUV8Y47d8yJCn0DgY4T9wz7dGNrcAwLPFgmyS0JzaSMWRpOkCpGt6MTxTj0YeCgh33YLZuicmFOcAD0uQkRnAiR1WgFaGQuSr6ji~J2o65nAoekHKCZdmQC3anqeCmdi~QZy785y8NcNkpyxsFTGUmn9qiBcdrs065aQny8ROpG0nhW6XPYOJg-c6F95-z2bMktjR7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dublin Police Chief Pice delivered a quarterly public‑safety update on Feb. 3 outlining 2024 crime and traffic metrics, the department’s 2025 goals and a series of operational initiatives including a new Business District Unit and technology pilots.

Chief Pice said the department’s top 2025 priorities are critical incident preparedness, major crime response, theft‑reduction strategies, improved traffic safety and addressing significant community concerns. He said part‑1 violent crimes in Dublin remained low in absolute numbers in 2024 and noted a small increase driven mainly by aggravated assault; he also highlighted that new felony strangulation statutes affect year‑to‑year comparisons.

Crime and prevention: The chief summarized several theft‑related trends reported by the department. Theft‑from‑vehicle incidents fell in the three‑year comparison presented (from 248 in 2022 to 210 in 2023 and 145 in 2024), while reports of breaking and entering and commercial thefts have trended upward; motor‑vehicle thefts and attempts totaled 70 reports in 2024. The department emphasized prevention messaging — for example, advising people who transport firearms to secure them so they are not left accessible in vehicles — and noted partnerships with hotels and the Dublin Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association to distribute prevention information and steering‑wheel locks.

Business District Unit: Deputy Chief Latanzi described a newly formed Business District Unit staffed by Sergeant Josh Kirby, Officer Jared Dobney and Officer Josh Weber. Launched Jan. 15, the unit is focused on Bridge Park, Historic Dublin and parking garages with patrols, prevention, event safety work and investigative follow‑up. In its first weeks the unit logged more than 80 traffic stops, 37 citations, two OVI arrests and recovered one stolen vehicle, the department said. The unit will operate primarily on 10‑hour shifts Wednesday through Saturday to align with peak activity hours.

Technology and staffing: The department described operational uses for the Flock license‑plate reader network, an entry swing‑arm for the Rockcrest parking garage, two autonomous security robots (one planned for Rockcrest garage and one for Riverside Crossing Park) and a new beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight drone program. Police said the drone program would station four drones at strategic sites (including school and fire facilities) with FAA permission to launch autonomously to provide aerial reconnaissance within about 90 seconds. Chief Pice credited the technology and interagency partnerships with helping officers locate stolen vehicles and coordinate multi‑jurisdictional responses.

Traffic safety: The police presentation showed traffic enforcement and crash data: the department reported 9,623 traffic stops in 2024 and said crashes have risen since the pandemic lows (745 crashes in 2024, with 19 serious‑injury crashes reported). Chief Pice and councilmembers noted the Slow Down Dublin traffic‑management initiative and the department’s focus on enforcement and public education to change driver behavior.

Volunteer program: Deputy Chief Tabernick outlined a revitalized Community Safety Ambassador program that will recruit graduates from city academies and other applicants for a minimum four‑hour monthly volunteer commitment. Ambassadors will support event safety, theft‑prevention outreach and vacation house watches and will attend quarterly training and a background check process.

Council members thanked the department for the data and for the new Business District Unit. Several members praised the department’s use of technology and requested continued tracking of enforcement outcomes and any change in crash and speeding trends.

The presentation included multiple acknowledgements of officers and staff who worked notable cases in 2024; the department said it will continue to provide monthly metric updates through the city manager’s update and asked council for ongoing support of technology and staffing priorities.","Chief Pice briefed council on 2024 public‑safety metrics and 2025 goals, described crime and traffic trends, and announced a dedicated Business District Unit, expanded technology (license‑plate readers, autonomous robots, beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight drones) and a community safety ambassador volunteer program.",{"_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},6696120,"Dublin council schedules Feb. 18 vote on rezoning request at 3838 Summit View Road after residents raise traffic, septic concerns",2364,1140000,3504000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2215969-8b11385dec96d1ca32c542d8b20e75bc&start=1140&end=3504","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2215969-8b11385dec96d1ca32c542d8b20e75bc/thumbnail_1140000.jpg","/articles/6696120/Ohio/Dublin-council-schedules-Feb-18-vote-on-rezoning-request-at-3838-Summit-View-Road-after-residents-raise-traffic-septic-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696120-7c3ada174bf6a29a11ba29c4789c2ec7/orig.mp4?Expires=1774892655&Signature=WjG3-9vBLK8-y4Myp~akXj0XbiNCEV4WjtCpiEMEYBSXklVW28qd2rUceabWfE6Cu8-6ycgw9IlmYFRm2xH1Ur6K4VEaZQUyBXDOVxAggC31wC3cNzdgJFGk2Q0vvAE4i86GoPtlU1oG33F7jEeBzX~9drSWrDKjgfBGGRRxRjSdcAClFBN2ASypfzkgPQJkpzDBzi6nY0WNPSDZyiNxWaaBCBl8gFUPVqSbIuwuve3vza4KIyDV6BtiFH2iTzB4yrI2cKLWngw0vS5h-oBy-rNvwrUhEnb6zUFFsFqSx7RB0L~WG0GfeL9VJ57tcN-LdMyndMHJauPZD~E9~AkTSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dublin City Council members on Feb. 3 heard more than an hour of public comment and council questions after the introduction of an ordinance to rezone approximately 0.87 acres at 3838 Summit View Road from R‑1 (restricted suburban residential) to SO (suburban office and institutional).

The rezoning request, introduced at first reading on Feb. 3, would make the lot consistent with an adjacent parcel that was rezoned in 2017 and aligns with the city’s Envision Dublin future land‑use designation for the area, which the staff memo describes as “mixed use neighborhood.” Planning staff said the SO district generally allows office and similar uses without a site‑plan review when projects meet zoning standards.

The applicant, Akhil Patel, identified himself as the principal of the entity that owns the two parcels and told council the lots were purchased together. Patel said the property owner has a pending purchase agreement and hopes to develop a childcare center, calling it consistent with surrounding residential neighborhoods and a community need. Neighbors and church representatives opposed the rezoning at the meeting, citing traffic, curb‑cut access, safety and septic concerns.

Planning staff told council the single family lot is 0.87 acre and that the owner also controls an adjacent corner lot; together those parcels total 1.53 acres. Staff said the corner parcel was rezoned to SO in February 2017 and that standard‑district rezonings are judged primarily against the future land use plan. Planning staff said development standards and access locations would be handled during permitting and engineering review if a project comes forward.

Residents, including members of Church of the Redeemer and nearby homeowners, told council they regularly see vehicles use their parking lot to turn around and said larger curb cuts or commercial traffic would worsen wear and could pose safety problems. The church asked whether it could continue to use its onsite septic system if nearby parcels redevelop. One neighbor said Columbus had previously denied a curb cut on the adjoining Sawmill Road and questioned whether a new use could be safely served by existing access.

Council members pressed staff for additional analysis before taking a final vote. Questions focused on whether a conceptual site plan should be provided before a straight rezoning, how access and curb cuts would be approved, whether combining lots would be an administrative action, the absence of public sewer to the parcels, and whether a traffic study would be required. Planning staff said a standard SO rezoning that stays within the future land‑use assumptions does not automatically trigger a traffic study and that the city’s thoroughfare and Envision Dublin planning work had already modeled typical traffic generation for the land‑use designation. Staff and council also discussed whether a master plan for the corner and surrounding lots should be required to assure orderly long‑term redevelopment and reduce future curb‑cut proliferation.

Council did not vote on the rezoning on Feb. 3. The second‑reading public hearing and vote are scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. in city hall. Council members asked staff to provide additional materials for the Feb. 18 hearing, including: a clearer explanation of how Envision Dublin’s “mixed use neighborhood” guidance applies to this specific corner, what public utilities (water/sewer) service timing is anticipated in the capital improvements program, and whether staff recommends a master‑planning or planned‑unit‑development approach instead of a straight rezoning.

If council approves a straight SO rezoning, staff said development proposals that comply with SO standards could proceed to building permit review; deviations would require Board of Zoning Appeals action. Several council members indicated a preference for more context and a master‑planning approach before approving a straight rezoning for a small, gateway parcel.

The Feb. 18 hearing will be the opportunity for residents, the applicant, and council to review the additional materials staff compiles and to vote on the ordinance.","Dublin City Council introduced an ordinance to rezone 0.87 acres at 3838 Summit View Road from R-1 (restricted suburban residential) to SO (suburban office/institutional).

Consent agenda: Mayor Ambrose Grooms moved to approve the consent agenda; a second was given and council voted in favor. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from attendees; Vice Mayor Alutto was absent from the meeting.

Easement ordinances (Ordinances 01‑25 and 02‑25): Council waived rules to read the two ordinances together and then adopted them. The ordinances authorize the city manager to execute conveyance documents to acquire small easements (including a 0.038‑acre easement at 1585 South Riverview Street, Franklin County parcel number 27300014400, and an easement for property at 109 South Riverview Street) to facilitate the South High Street utility barrel phase 2 project. City staff said there was no new information since the first reading and recommended adoption.

Wireless 911 intergovernmental agreement (Resolution 07‑25): Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Franklin County Commissioners so the city may continue to receive reimbursements from the Wireless 911 Governmental Assistance Fund. City staff and Northwest Regional Emergency Communications Center (NREC) representatives said ORC §128 establishes a per‑device fee administered by the county and distributed according to State 911 Planning Committee formulas; funds are intended to support 911 equipment, upgrades and related staff training. Deputy Chief Lutensy and NREC operations manager Kelly Davidson said the city’s 2025 disbursement amounts are the same as in 2024 and that funds would be used in accordance with ORC §128.571.

Vote tallies: For each of the three items listed above council recorded unanimous approval among members present.
