Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance is being submitted to authorize the director of the Department of Development to enter into a pre-annexation agreement with Thomas E. and Patricia A. Hawkins (Owners), regarding their property of residence - 951 Doherty Road (PID 241-000073), Prairie Township. The Owners septic system has failed. Annexation of the property would allow for a connection to the City’s sewer system. The City has requested that the Owners use the annexation petition process outlined in ORC section 709.02, which allows for the City to conform the boundaries of the annexed territory. Boundary conformance made under these circumstances requires compensation to the Township of lost property tax revenues according to the formula outlined in ORC 709.19. The pre-annexation agreement will outline the steps necessary for the Owners to make connection to the City sewer system in conjunction with the annexation as well as reimbursement to the City of payments made to the Township. This ordinance is filed as emergency in order to expedite sewer connection for the property.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this expenditure are allocated from the Prairie Township Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) Fund.
