Explanation
The City of Columbus recently received an invoice in the amount of $5,423.22 from the Franklin County Common Pleas Court for court costs associated with the acquisition of right-of-way for the Lane Avenue Improvement project that was constructed by the Transportation Division. This amount includes Daily Reporter fees, processing fees, miscellaneous court fees and poundage paid on all deposits that were made with the Court. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney pay these court costs.
