Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance will provide the City Attorney with funding for real estate services that are needed for the City to acquire sanitary sewer easements in connection with the Big Walnut Augmentation Rickenbacker Interceptor (BWARI) Lockbourne Intermodal Subtrunk Project that the Division of Sewerage and Drainage is currently undertaking. The necessity of this project comes from the active development of the area and the need to provide gravity sewer service to Lockbourne which is presently serviced through the Rickenbacker Port Authority utilizing a lift station-force main connection. This project will design and construct a sanitary subtrunk sewer to service the western portion of the former Air National Guard Base and will service the Village of Lockbourne and the proposed intermodel transportation facility.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to consider this ordinance an emergency measure, in order to allow for the immediate commencement of the easement acquisition services. These easements are necessary to allow for the construction of this sewer extension that will allow for considerable private, economic development initiatives currently being undertaken in the Rickenbacker growth area.
3. FISCAL IMPACT:
This project already has sufficient funds and budget authority allocated within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund to allow for this planned capital expenditure upon passage of this ordinance.
