Explanation
The City of Columbus is engaged in the acquisition of temporary construction easements for the Minnesota Avenue Improvement project. The purpose of this project is to reconstruct and widen (to 26 feet in width) an existing uncurbed two-lane road from Joyce Avenue to Parkwood Avenue. New sidewalks, curb and gutter will be installed as a part of this project. Initial acquisition funding for this project, in the amount of $76,000.00, was taken from the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highway Fund. Expenditure of these funds was authorized pursuant to Ordinance 0386-2005, passed March 23, 2005. The City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, has requested an additional $25,000.00 to complete acquisition of the temporary easements needed for this project.
Fiscal Impact: Funding for this project in the amount of $25,000.00 is budgeted and available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.
Emergency Justification: Construction plans for this improvement project are complete and fully signed. Construction of this improvement project is contingent upon completion of the right-of-way acquisition. Emergency action is being requested so the City Attorney's Real Estate Division can complete right-of-way acquisition this year.
