EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND: The City is presently engaged in the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer (CIP 650034-100006) Public Project (the "Public Project"). The City desires to acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real property interests (collectively, the "Real Estate") in order to complete the Public Project. The City previously passed Ordinance Number 1794-2013 on July 22, 2013, 2717-2013 on December 9, 2013, and 0134-2014 on February 24, 2014, which, collectively, authorized the City Attorney to spend City funds to acquire the Real Estate. Additionally, the City adopted Resolution Number 0260x-2013 on December 9, 2013, and Resolution Number 0020x-2014 on March 3, 2014, which each declared the City's necessity and intent to appropriate some of the Real Estate. However, some of the parcels of Real Estate were intentionally omitted from Resolution Numbers 0260x-2013 and 0020x-2014, because some of the parcels of Real Estate were being redesigned for the Public Project. Accordingly, this resolution declares the City's necessity and intent to appropriate the remaining Real Estate.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow for the City's acquisition of the Real Estate to allow for the Public Project's construction to proceed without delay, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
