Explanation
AN11-011
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN11-011) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that once an annexation has been approved, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality. 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 January 9, 2012. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on January 23, 2012. Franklin County approved the annexation on February 14, 2012 and the City Clerk received notice on February 22, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT: Provision of municipal services does represent costs to the City; although the annexation of land has the potential to create revenue to the City.
