EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND: This resolution by the City of Columbus, Ohio ("City"), an Ohio municipal corporation, is to declare the City's necessity and intent to appropriate fee simple title and lesser interests to real estate necessary for the City's Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, Pedestrian Safety Improvements-Olentangy River Road Shared-use-path ( PID 590105-100036) Public Project ("Project"). Columbus City Ordinance Number 1645-2013 previously authorized the Columbus City Attorney to spend City funds and acquire the real property interests needed for the Project. The City previously passed Columbus City Resolution 0254x-2013, which declared the City's necessity and intent to appropriate fee simple title and lesser interests regarding certain real estate needed for the Project. Some of the Project's real property interests were intentionally omitted from Columbus City Resolution 0254x-2013, because those real property interests were being redesigned by the City. Therefore, this resolution declares the City's necessity and intent to appropriate fee simple title and lesser interests regarding certain remaining real property interests needed for the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow for the City's acquisition of certain real property interests for the Project's construction to proceed without delay, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
