Explanation
AN08-013
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN08-013) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that the once an annexation has been approved, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality within 120 days (but not sooner than 60 days) of receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on July 9, 2008. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on July 21, 2008. Franklin County approved the annexation on August 12, 2008 and the City Clerk received notice on September 16, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT: Provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City, however the annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the City.
