Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN24-003) by the city of Columbus.

If City Council does not accept the ordinance within 120 days of its first consideration, the annexation will be considered rejected. This petition was filed with Franklin County on July 10, 2024. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on September 9, 2024. Franklin County approved the annexation on September 24, 2024 and the City Clerk received notice on January 2, 2025.
