Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN25-006) by the city of Columbus. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. 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 March 19, 2025. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on April 7, 2025. Franklin County approved the annexation on April 29, 2025 and the City Clerk received notice on May 12, 2025.
