Explanation
BACKGROUND: In order to have an effective Land Reutilization Program it is necessary from time to time to acquire other vacant and underutilized properties. These properties will be held in the City's Land Bank and managed in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Land Reutilization Program. These parcels are being acquired by deed and will be recorded in the Official Records of the County Recorder's Office. Council adopted a Land Reutilization Program (ORC5722) by Ordinance 2161-93 to facilitate effective reutilization of nonproductive land and buildings within the City's boundaries and to foster either the return of such land to tax revenue generating status or retention for public use.
FISCAL IMPACT: The maintenance of this parcel will be provided by the Environmental Blight Abatement unit.
