Explanation
AN09-002
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN09-002) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that the 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 March 26, 2009. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on April 6, 2009. Franklin County approved the annexation on April 28, 2009 and the City Clerk received notice on May 11, 2009.
