Title: To authorize the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute a State of Ohio Easement and any ancillary documents, as approved by the Department of Law, Real Estate Division, necessary to accept certain easements rights necessary to the McKinley Avenue Improvement Project, as granted by the State of Ohio and to declare an emergency.
Explanation

Background: The State of Ohio owns certain real property along McKinley Avenue where the City is engaged in the McKinley Avenue Improvement Project. As part of the roadway job the City requested a perpetual easement on aforementioned State of Ohio property. The State of Ohio decided that it did not want to grant a perpetual easement, but would instead give fee simple title to the City. After investigation, the Department of Public Service has determined that accepting fee title to the subject real property will not adversely affect the City and therefore should be allowed. However, in the length of time estimated for the State of Ohio to transfer fee title of the subject property to the City, a Department of Public Utilities project involving the same real property will be delayed. The State of Ohio has also agreed to grant an easement to the City of Columbus, as not to delay the aforementioned Sewers and Drains Project. Therefore, it is now necessary to authorize the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute a State of Ohio Easement and any ancillary documents necessary to accept the subject easement, as granted from the State of Ohio

Fiscal Impact: N/A


Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to in order to allow for the immediately acceptance of the subject easement, as not to delay the aforementioned Department of Public Utilities project.
