Explanation
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a Board of Revision to hear any objections to assessments associated with the 5th Avenue and 4th Street Special Improvement District, the University District Special Improvement District, and/or Franklinton Special Improvement District reauthorization process.
As part of the Special Improvement District (SID) reauthorization process, four pieces of legislation are passed upon Council’s receipt of a valid petition for reauthorization. The third of the four pieces of legislation declares the necessity of the SID’s proposed plan of services and instructs the petitioner to submit to the City Clerk a list of proposed assessments for properties included in the proposed SID. Properties included in the proposed SID are given a two-week window to object to the calculation of the proposed assessment. The objections are heard by a Board of Revision which submits its findings to City Council for approval in the fourth and final piece of legislation.
This legislation establishes the Board of Revision for the reauthorization process for the three SIDs listed in the first paragraph.
Emergency action is requested so that the reauthorization process can be completed on time and in compliance with Ohio Revised Code and the Franklin County Auditor’s processes.
