Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Ohio State University, an instrumentality of the state of Ohio (“OSU”), previously granted the City an easement for roadway purposes described and recorded in Instrument Number 201410080133496, Recorder’s Office, Franklin County, Ohio (“Easement”). The Easement is located in the vicinity of OSU’s campus along North High Street between previously vacated portions of West Woodruff Avenue and West Eighteenth Street, Columbus, Ohio 43201. The City’s Department of Public Service (DPS) recently determined additional easement areas is needed. As a result, OSU and DPS desire to amend the Easement by replacing and increasing the Easement’s acreage. However, all other provisions of the Easement will be unmodified and remain in full force and effect and fully binding upon OSU and the City. Accordingly, this ordinance authorizes the director of DPS on behalf of the City to execute and acknowledge any necessary instrument(s), as approved by the City Attorney, in order to amend the Easement by replacing and increasing the Easement’s acreage.

Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
