EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department on behalf of the City of Columbus, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation (“City”), desires to quit claim grant to the Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“CGO”), perpetual and temporary easement rights in, on, over, across, upon, through, and burdening portions of the City’s real property located at 1900 Wilson Road, Columbus, Ohio 43228 [Franklin County Tax Parcel 560-154646] (“Raymond Golf Course”).

The City’s Recreation and Parks Department determined that the new, replacement easement requested by CGO to construct the Improvement should be granted for consideration in the amount of Twenty Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($20,000.00).
