Explanation
Background:
Chapter 1710 of the Ohio Revised Code, effective September 29, 1994 provides for the creation of Special Improvement Districts (District), by non-profit corporations governed by trustees elected by the property owners for the provision of special services in a designated district. The East Main Street Special Improvement District (the SID or District) was created in 2018 for a term of 5 years through 2022. The District was renewed for a second five-year term through 2027.
In 2023, City Council authorized ordinance #1457-2023, a boundary adjustment of three parcels from the city of Columbus to the city of Whitehall. These parcels were included in the East Main Street Special Improvement District when they were a part of the City of Columbus. However, now that the parcels are part of the City of Whitehall, the parcels must be removed from the East Main Street Special Improvement District. This is necessary so that the parcels are no longer subjected to the additional levy imposed on properties in the East Main Street Special Improvement District.
Fiscal Impact: $0.00
