Explanation
AN11-009
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN11-009) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that once an annexation has been approved by the County, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality in order for the annexation process to be completed. Per the Ohio Revised code, 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 September 14, 2011. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on September 26, 2011. Franklin County approved the annexation on October 25, 2011 and the City Clerk received notice on November 3, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT: The provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City; although the annexation of land has the potential to create revenue to the city.
