Explanation
AN15-006
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN15-006) by the City of Columbus. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, 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 May 19, 2015. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on June 1, 2015. Franklin County approved the annexation on June 30, 2015 and the City Clerk received notice on July 17, 2015.
