The City of Columbus, Ohio, by its Finance and Management Department ("City"), desires to grant American Transmission Systems, Incorporated ("ATSI"), an Ohio corporation, a perpetual easement appurtenant, in, on, over, across, upon, through, and burdening the City's real property located in the vicinity of the Scioto River at S.R. 257 South, Ostrander, Ohio 43061, Delaware County Tax Parcel(s): 50024001008000 & 50031001002000 ("Easement Area"), which is more fully described within the body of this ordinance.

Therefore, this ordinance authorizes the City's Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents prepared and approved by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, to quit claim grant an electrical utility easement to ATSI.
