Explanation
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 723.03 requires that property to be used as a public street or alley must be accepted and dedicated as public right-of-way by an ordinance specially passed for such purpose. Aircenter Drive, an existing but not dedicated or officially named street is located within that City of Columbus property known as Port Columbus International Airport. Under the Airport Operation and Use Agreement, which created the Columbus Municipal Airport Authority ("Port Authority"), the City is obligated to convey to the Port Authority all airport property once the Port Authority has repaid in full the City debt issued for the airports. The Port Authority intends to make their final debt payment in December 2007 and the City intends to convey all airport real property to the Port Authority by the end of December 2007. Prior to conveying any real property to the Port Authority, the City must officially dedicate and name Aircenter Drive so it can be excepted out of the premises to be transferred to the Port Authority. The following legislation provides for the City to dedicate as road right-of-way and name Aircenter Drive.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow the City of Columbus to transfer all airport property except the road right-of-way to the Columbus Municipal Airport Authority by the end of December 2007.
