Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus, Ohio owns and maintains a 30" diameter sanitary sewer trunk line commonly known as the Franklin Main Interceptor Sewer ("Franklin Main Sewer"). The Franklin Main Sewer crosses under certain portions of land under the jurisdiction and control of OSU, who plans to construct improvements on certain portions of such land. This necessitates the relocation of a portion of the Franklin Main Sewer. The City requested that OSU relocate other portions of the Franklin Main Sewer during construction of the OSU improvements. Ordinance 0852-2004, passed on June 14, 2004, authorizing the Director of Public Utilities to enter in a certain Capital Improvements Project Reimbursement Agreement, by and between the City and OSU ("Reimbursement Agreement"), pursuant to which, the City agreed to reimburse OSU for certain costs of the Franklin Main Sewer relocation, contingent in part upon receipt of this easement. The City has therefore applied to the State of Ohio for an easement in, over, under, across, and through said land under the jurisdiction of OSU for sewer utility lines and appurtenances thereto. The following Legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute a State of Ohio Easement and any ancillary documents necessary to accept the subject real property interests, as granted from the State of Ohio.
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to in order to allow for the immediately acceptance of the subject easement, as not to delay the aforementioned relocation of the subject sewer.
