Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Development to reimburse the Departments of Public Service and Recreation and Parks for work performed on the Miscellaneous Developments - American Addition Infrastructure (Phase 2 and 3) project.
The City of Columbus and the Central Ohio Housing Development Organization (COHDO) are engaged in a Public-Private Partnership (3P) to redevelop the American Addition neighborhood.

The scope of public improvements for American Addition Phases 2 and 3 Infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, upgrading existing public infrastructure, coordinating the adjustment of private utilities, and clearing public right-of-way to accommodate public and private utility upgrades on the following roadways and alleys: Twelfth Avenue, Helena Alley, Woodford Avenue, Katahdin Alley, Key West Avenue, Olympia Alley, Puritan Avenue, Petrel Alley, and Dewey Avenue.
In preparation for private utilities to install their infrastructure for the American Addition Infrastructure (Phase 2 and 3) project, existing unimproved alleys (city right-of-way) needed clearing of brush and trees. It was most economical and efficient to use city crews to perform this work.
