Explanation
AN12-013
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN12-013) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, 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 10, 2012. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on July 23, 2012. Franklin County approved the annexation on August 14, 2012 and the City Clerk received notice on August 20, 2012.
