Explanation
AN14-001
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN14-001) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days (but not more than 180) from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action within this timeframe, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on February 12, 2014. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on February 24, 2014. Franklin County approved the annexation on March 18, 2014 and the City Clerk received notice on March 31, 2014.
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.
