Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City of Columbus, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation (“City”), is engaged in the acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests for real estate (collectively, “Property”) for the City’s Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, Operation Safewalks - Joyce Avenue Phase 2 [590955-100008/2765 Dr E)] Project (“Public Project”). The City’s Council passed City Resolution Number 0198X-2013 on September 26th, 2013, and City Resolution Number 0215X-2013 on October 10th, 2013, which each declared the necessity and intent to appropriate the Property for the Public Project. This is the second appropriation ordinance for the Public Project, City Ordinance Number 2607-2013 being the first, because the City needed more time to serve certain owners of the Property the resolutions of intent to appropriate the Property. Therefore, this legislation authorizes the Columbus City Attorney to file necessary complaints for the appropriation of the remainder the Property necessary for the City’s Public Project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Public Project’s funding will come from the Department of Public Service, Streets & Highways GO Bonds Fund ? 704.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow for the appropriation and acquisitions of the Property necessary for the Public Project to proceed without delay, which will preserve the public peace, property, health, safety, and welfare.
