EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department on behalf of the City of Columbus, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation ("City"), desires to quit claim grant to the Ohio Power Company, an Ohio corporation ("AEP"), a perpetual electric utility easement in, on, over, across, upon, through, and burdening a portion of the City's real property located at 4977 Teddy Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43227 and commonly known as Willis Park ("Easement Area"). AEP will use the Easement Area to install, control, construct, reconstruct, replace, operate, maintain, repair, and remove aerial electric lines, cables, wires, meters, transformers, conduits, poles, and their appurtenances for the transmission, distribution, and delivery of electrical energy and impulses (collectively, "Improvement"). After investigation by the City, it was determined that the Easement Area requested by AEP for the Improvement will benefit the City and should be granted at no charge because the Improvement is to benefit a school, Patriot Preparatory Academy, an Ohio nonprofit corporation. Therefore, this ordinance authorizes the City's Director of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to execute those documents prepared and approved by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, to quit claim grant an electrical utility easement to AEP.
