Explanation

BACKGROUND: In 2005 the Northland Alliance, the Morse Road SID Exploratory Committee, and the City of Columbus Development Department initiated an effort with property owners on Morse Road from Indianola Avenue to Cleveland Avenue to create a Special Improvement District (SID). On October 12, 2005, the City Council Jobs and Economic Development Committee was briefed on the plans and progress of the Morse Road SID. The property owners initiated a one petition process in which at least 60% of the property owners within the District signed that they are interested in forming a SID and approving the Articles of Incorporation. This petition was accepted and approved by Columbus City Council by Ordinance No. 0414-2006, passed February 27, 2006. Another action required by the Ohio Revised Code is the approval of the Plan of Improvements and Services and the inclusion of City owned property in said plan. This legislation was approved by Columbus City Council by Resolution No. 0023X-2006, passed March 6, 2006. The third piece of legislation was to declare the necessity to implement the Plan of Services adopted by the Morse Road Special Improvement District of Columbus, Inc., and to levy a special assessment for the services. This legislation was approved by Columbus City Council by Resolution No. 0069X-2006, passed April 24, 2006.

This legislation is an ordinance to proceed with the Plan of Services of the Morse Road Special Improvement District of Columbus, Inc. and to provide for the levy of assessments to property owners within the Special Improvement District.

Emergency action is requested on this legislation to allow the special assessment process to proceed in a timely manner.

FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
