Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
Ordinance #1039-2007, passed on July 23, 2007, granted a conservation easement of approximately 3.052 acres between the City of Columbus, Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The conservation easement is upon certain real property located east of State Route 104, northwest of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage's Compost Facility, identified as Franklin County Tax Parcel Numbers 010-242552, 010-242553, 010-242554. Division engineering personnel have determined these easements both necessary and beneficial to the City, and as such the original legislation authorized the execution of the documents necessary for the granting of the aforementioned easement. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is not the grantee for the property involved under this conservation easement, thus making the original ordinance incorrect.
This ordinance will change the grantee name from the Ohio Department of Natural Resouces to the correct grantee name of the Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a zero dollar modification and no fiscal impact will occur.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage hereby requests City Council to concur in the designation of this ordinance as an emergency measure, to assure that the delay due to the misnamed grantee in regards to the conservation easement does not slow the project and that contract work may progress as soon as possible.
