Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Board of Trustees of Plain Township, the Council of the Village of New Albany and the City of Columbus (the "Parties,"), entered into an Annexation Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to Section 709.192 of the Ohio Revised Code on or as of February 26, 2008. The Agreement provides, in part, coordinated development and annexation objectives within the territories to which the Agreement pertains (the "Agreement Territory"). The Agreement further provides, in part, that the boundaries of properties which have been or will be annexed to the City from the area within the Agreement Territory designated as the City Growth Zone West will be conformed. The Parties desire to clarify the Agreement Territory, as it relates to the area designated City Growth Zone West, in order to ensure that pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Agreement, the City shall conform its boundaries in order to exclude the Township from any land or lands which have previously been or may be annexed to the City within the City Growth Zone West. The Parties consider that the best way to modify the Agreement to accomplish the aforementioned goals and objectives is to execute the attached First Amendment to the Agreement.
Emergency action is requested in order to clarify the authority and responsibility of the City to conform boundaries in the designated area.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
