EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The City is required to authorize the acquisition and acceptance of any real estate conveyed to the City. As a result, it is periodically necessary for the City to formally accept real estate previously conveyed to the City (collectively, "Real Estate," which is described in Section One (1) of this ordinance), because the Real Estate was not the subject of any previous ordinances authorizing the Real Estate's acquisition and acceptance.
The City is using the Real Estate for various public purposes, including but not limited to sewerage, drainage, electric, and other general utilities, pedestrian and vehicular traffic control, access, sidewalks, walkways, bikeways, shared-use paths, and associated appurtenances. The Real Estate was recorded in an appropriate county recorder's office in the state of Ohio. Additionally, it may be necessary for the City to enter into tax agreements with the grantors of the Real Estate in order to address any real estate tax implications associated with the Real Estate's acquisition and acceptance. Accordingly, this ordinance (i) is the City's formal acceptance of the Real Estate; and (ii) authorizes the directors of the Departments of Public Utilities, Public Service, and Finance and Management to enter into any necessary real estate tax agreements, as approved by the City Attorney, with the grantors of the Real Estate.
