Explanation
AN11-008
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN11-008) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that the once an annexation has been approved by the county, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality in order for the annexation process to be completed. City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days (but not more than 180) from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action within this timeframe, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on July 22, 2011. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on July 25, 2011. Franklin County approved the annexation on August 23, 2011 and the City Clerk received notice on September 1, 2011. An agreement between the City and petitioner stipulates that the acceptance ordinance be filed as emergency legislation. Emergency action will also maximize revenue to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While provision of municipal services does represent cost, annexation of the site is anticipated to generate substantial income tax revenue to the City.
