Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in a project that will upgrade, reconstruct and widen Riverview Drive from Harley Drive east approximately 2,550 feet to Olentangy River Road. The proposed upgrades include sidewalks and an enclosed storm sewer system with curb and gutter running the entire length of the project. The City Attorney's Office has been acquiring additional right-of-way to accommodate the proposed upgrades. Ordinance 0385-2005 passed March 23, 2005 established preliminary funding in the amount of $123,000.00 for acquisition-related activities. The City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division, staff recently notified the Transportation Division that an additional $45,000.00 would be required to complete acquisition of the right-of-way needed for this project. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend an additional $45,000.00, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to complete acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests in and to property needed for this improvement project.

Fiscal Impact: Additional acquisition related expenses are currently estimated to be $45,000.00 for this project. These costs are not budgeted per se but have been identified and are available from the cancellation of $229,513.81 from an old construction contract (EL031299-002) that has been completed and for which the funds are no longer needed. This ordinance transfers funds as appropriate between projects within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is requested to allow right-of-way acquisition-related activities to continue so construction of the proposed improvement project can proceed without delay.
