Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City of Columbus, Ohio, Department of Public Utilities (“City”), is undertaking the task of increasing the safe yield of its surface water supply for the Upground Reservoir Project (CIP 690370) (“Project”). City Ordinance 0555-2005 originally authorized the Columbus City Attorney to acquire fee simple title and lesser interests, contract for professional services, and to expend funds for costs related to the acquisition of the Project’s real property interests. However, in order to complete the Project, the City must acquire additional real property interests in north-western Delaware County, west of the Scioto River. Therefore, the City desires to acquire the necessary real property interests in order to complete the Project, and the following is an ordinance to authorize the Columbus City Auditor to increase the Project’s existing Auditor’s Certificate, AC024355, by Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($450,000.00) from the Water Permanent Improvements Fund.
