Explanation

Background: The City and the State, acting through the Ohio Arts and Sports Facility Commission, entered into a Lease Agreement dated September 29, 1995 for the lease of the former Central High School site, which was authorized by City Council by Ordinance No. 1491-94, passed on July 18, 1994. As a condition of the ordinance and subsequent lease, City Council must approve certain uses of the leased premises by ordinance. COSI Columbus, which manages the property for the State, desires the City's approval to use the premises for a broadcast production facility.

Fiscal Impact: N/A

Emergency Justification: Emergency action is request to allow for the immediate construction of the aforementioned facility.
