Explanation
AN09-003
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN09-003) by the City. The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) stipulates that the once an annexation has been approved, it must be accepted by the receiving municipality within 180 days (but not sooner than 60 days) of receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on May 14, 2009. Franklin County approved the annexation on May 26, 2009 and the City Clerk received notice on June 2, 2009. No service ordinance was required or filed for this annexation because it was filed as a Type 1 application as defined by the Ohio Revised Code. This type of application is stipulated for annexations in Plain Township as a consequence of an annexation agreement between the City and that jurisdiction. A service statement, reflecting the City's ability to provide services for this site upon annexation is included as attachment A.
FISCAL IMPACT: Provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City, however the annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the city.
