Explanation
By Resolution Nos. 0268X-2019 and 0284X-2019, City Council, as the “organizational board of commissioners,” previously established the Marble Cliff Quarry Community Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to Ohio Revised Code (“ORC”) Chapter 349 to support that redevelopment of approximately 300 acres of real property located at the northeast corner of Dublin Road and Trabue Road adjacent to a new metro park. Pursuant to Ordinance 3095-2019, the City and the Authority subsequently entered into the Marble Cliff Quarry Utility Cooperative Agreement to authorize the Authority to provide water and sewer service within its new community district. The Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District (“Metroparks”) is currently constructing the Quarry Trails Metro Park on land adjacent to the Authority’s new community district. Metroparks now seeks to join the Authority in order to obtain water and sewer service. On September 28, 2022, Metroparks submitted to the Clerk of City Council a Consent to Add Property to a New Community District (the “Consent”) to add the Quarry Trails Metro Park parcels to the Authority’s new community district. City Council, by Resolution No. 0197X-2022, adopted on October 17, 2022, determined the sufficiency of the Consent and set a public hearing date on the Consent, which was held on November 2, 2022. This resolution authorizes the expansion of and defines the boundaries of the Authority’s new community district by adding the Quarry Trails Metro Park property identified as Tax Parcel ID Nos. 560-298177 and 560-298033. This resolution also certifies that the public hearing was held in compliance with the requirements of ORC Chapter 349.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation.
