The Columbus City Attorney’s Office entered into a contract with Alban & Alban LLP for title services on March 1, 2024, for up to $40,000.00. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to modify and extend (Modification No. 1) the current contract to February 28, 2025, and to declare an emergency in order to ensure the Property Action Team has continued title services that are necessary for nuisance abatement litigation.
