Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division has recently completed the reconstruction and widening of Lane Avenue from a point 700 feet west of Olentangy River Road to a point 500 feet east of North High Street. As a part of the acquisition related activities on this project the City Attorney's Office filed a case in the Franklin County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas for acquisition of Parcel 42 WD, T. The City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division settled Court Case 02CVH-09-9701 on June 26, 2006. At this time an additional $253,000.00 is needed to pay the court-approved settlement costs associated with this case. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend an additional $253,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary to complete the acquisition of Parcel 42 WD, T.

Fiscal Impact: Additional court-approved settlement costs associated with the acquisition of Parcel 42 WD, T of the Lane Avenue Widening and Improvement project total $253,000.00. Funds for this settlement are available within the State Issue Two Street Projects Fund in the Lane Avenue project. This legislation appropriates the necessary funds and authorizes this expenditure.

Emergency action is requested to allow eminent domain-related acquisition activities for this parcel to be completed as soon as possible to bring closure to this court-approved settlement.
