EXPLANATION

BACKGROUND:

The City’s Department of Public Service (DPS) is engaged in the FRA - Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) - Cleveland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - (PID 94357; 3163 Dr E), Public Improvement Project (“Public Project”). The City must acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real property interests located in the vicinity of Cleveland Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43215 (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order to complete the Public Project. The City passed Ordinance Number 0567-2015 on March 9, 2015, authorizing the City Attorney to acquire the Real Estate. Pursuant to the City’s partnerships in completing the Public Project, the City Attorney will acquire and accept the Real Estate in the names of the City of Columbus, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation (i.e. City), Board of Commissioners, Franklin County, Ohio, a body politic and corporate organized and existing pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 301 (“Franklin County”), City of Westerville, Ohio, an Ohio municipal corporation (“Westerville”), and the Central Ohio Transit Authority, a regional transit authority pursuant to Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 306 (“COTA”), as the case may be and as necessary to complete the Public Project. Furthermore, the City intends to appropriate and accept the Real Estate in the names of the City, Franklin County, Westerville, and COTA, as case may be in the event the City Attorney is unable to perform either of the following: (i) locate the owners of the Real Estate; or (ii) agree with the owners of the Real Estate in good faith regarding the amount of just compensation for the Real Estate. Accordingly, this resolution declares the City’s immediate necessity and intent to appropriate and accept the Real Estate in order for DPS to timely complete the Public Project.
