Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The City owns real property in the vicinity of Parkview Drive and U.S. 23 (Indianola Ave.), Columbus, Ohio 43202 commonly known as Glen Echo Park ("Park"), which is managed by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department (CRPD). The State of Ohio, Department of Transportation ("ODOT") is undertaking the Indianola Avenue FRA-23-15.56 (PID 88610) Public Project in order to rehab the existing Indianola Bridge over Glen Echo Ravine and to conduct minor asphalt roadway approach work (collectively, "Public Project"). Furthermore, ODOT is required to acquire certain temporary real property interests from portions of the Park ("Real Estate") in order to complete the Public Project. Specifically, ODOT will temporarily use the Real Estate to seal and patch bridge walls for the Public Project.
CRPD, after reviewing this matter, supports granting the Real Estate to ODOT in consideration (i) of payment in the amount of Three Hundred and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($300.00); and (ii) that the Public Project will improve the safety of the Park's adjacent public right-of-way. Accordingly, this ordinance authorizes the director of CRPD on behalf of the City to execute and acknowledge any necessary instrument(s), as approved by the City Attorney, in order to quit claim grant the Real Estate to ODOT.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE ?: Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City's receipt of the Three Hundred and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($300.00) from ODOT will be deposited with the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund, Fund Number 747.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow for ODOT to complete the Public Project without unnecessary delay, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
