Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the boundaries of the Greater South East Area Commission by amending City Code Section 3111.20. On February 2, 2015 City Council passed Ordinance 0114-2015 which enacted City Code Section 3111.20 to create the Greater South East Area Commission. Currently, the north boundary listed in Section 3111.20 incorrectly intersects a portion of another area commission’s boundaries. This ordinance amends the language to remove the phrase, “Refugee Road; and Refugee Road from the Norfolk Southern railroad corridor” from the North Boundary line description for the Greater South East Area Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
