Explanation
AN08-003
BACKGROUND: An annexation petition for 4.2 acres in Mifflin Township (AN08-003) was filed with Franklin County on February 13, 2008. City Council approved a service ordinance for this site on February 25, 2008. The Franklin County Commissioners approved the annexation on March 18, 2008. More than 60 days have elapsed since April 7, 2008, when the transcript of proceedings approving the annexation was received by the City Clerk. This timeframe is required by the Ohio Revised Code. City Council's acceptance of the annexation is the final legislative step in the annexation process.
These are submitted in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: Provision of municipal services for a proposed annexation area has no fiscal impact. However, provision of the stated services does represent cost to the city. The annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the city.
