EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND: The City of Columbus, Ohio ("City"), desires to grant the Ohio Power Company ("OPC"), an Ohio corporation, another perpetual, nonexclusive easement in, on, over, under, across, and through City-owned real property located at 0000 London-Groveport Road Columbus, Ohio 43137, Franklin County Tax Parcel ? 150-000414. OPC will use the easement area, which is more fully described within the body of this legislation, for the purpose of installing electric utilities to service the City's new water collector well, CW-106. Columbus City Ordinance ? 2383-2012 formerly granted OPC an easement associated with the installation of the electric utilities, but the easement area described in that ordinance was insufficient. After further investigation by the City’s Department of Public Utilities, it was determined that the additional easement area requested by OPC to install its electrical utilities will benefit the City and should be granted at no charge. Therefore, the following legislation authorizes the City’s Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute a Quitclaim Deed of Easement and any other ancillary instruments necessary to grant this easement to OPC.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested so to not delay the benefit to the City resulting from the installation of electric utilities by OPC to service the City's new water collector well, CW-106, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
