BACKGROUND:
The City’s Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, is undertaking the improvement of sanitary sewer utility infrastructure for the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer (CIP 650034-100006) Public Project (the “Public Project”). The City is required to acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real property interests in the vicinity of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road, Blacklick, Ohio 43004 (collectively, the “Real Estate Interests”) in order to complete the Public Project.
The City previously passed Ordinance Numbers 1794-2013, 2717-2013 and 0134-2014, which authorized the City Attorney to spend City funds for costs relating to the acquisition of the Real Estate Interests.
