Explanation

Background: The City of Columbus is engaged in the Broughton Avenue Extension project. The purpose of this project is to extend Broughton Avenue from its existing terminus east of Outerbelt Street easterly to McCormick Boulevard. Completion of this project will provide vehicular access and will enhance development opportunities for adjacent properties. New pavement, sidewalks, drainage structures and lighting will be installed as a part of this project. Preliminary acquisition cost estimates indicate $50,000.00 will be required for acquisition-related activities including acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests in and to property needed for this project. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend $50,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary for this project.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $2.14 million in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget (CIB) for Roadway Improvements. Nearly $1.78 million has been either expended or encumbered from the 2004 CIB for Roadway Improvements. This ordinance authorizes $50,000 for acquisition-related expenses for the Broughton Avenue Extension project.

Emergency action is requested to allow right-of-way acquisition-related activities to be initiated by the City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, as soon as possible so that construction of this improvement project can begin without delay.
