Explanation
Background: The Divisions of Power and Water ("City") owns certain real and personal property located at 7145 State Route 257 North, Delaware, Ohio, commonly referred to as the "Zieg property". The property was purchased by the City for the purpose of building an Upground Reservoir. The Delaware County Board of Commissioners ("Delaware County") has expressed an interest in acquiring titleto aPole Barn currently existing on the property. The Division of Power and Water has determined that the Pole Barn is not functionally useful for any City purpose and of de minimis value and will be demolished upon construction of the reservoir. Therefore it is a more cost effective alternative, and in the best interest of the City to convey title to the Pole Barn to Delaware County in consideration for its removal at the County's expense. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute those documents necessary to enter into an agreement with the County of Delaware for the sale and removal for the Pole Barn.
