Explanation
Background: The Ohio Department of Transportation ("ODOT") is engaged in its Galena Bridge Replacement Project (DEL-CR24-5.02), located in the vicinity of Hoover Reservoir in Delaware County. The Project as presently planned requires Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Columbia Gas"), to relocate an existing six (6) inch steel high pressure pipeline off of the Galena Bridge. In order to complete the relocation, it is necessary for Columbia Gas to obtain certain permanent and temporary easements, more fully described in the body of this legislation, from the City of Columbus, Ohio, Department of Public Utilities ("City"). In exchange for the granting of the necessary easements, Columbia Gas has agreed upon completing the relocation to construct, at no cost to the City, a gravel crushed limestone parking lot on a portion of the City's property used for the temporary easement. None of the Parties shall pay any monetary consideration to the other regarding this exchange. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities and the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to execute a Memorandum of Agreement and those documents necessary to grant a perpetual sub-surface easement and a temporary construction easement to Columbia Gas.
Fiscal Impact: None of the Parties shall pay any monetary consideration to the other regarding this exchange.
Emergency Justification: In the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, emergency action is requested as not to delay any part of ODOT's project contingent on the passage of this legislation.
