EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The City owns real property located at 3329 Riverside Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43221 {Franklin County Tax Parcel 580-198700}, which is commonly known as “Griggs Reservoir” and managed by the Department of Finance and Management (“Finance”). The City is constructing the Lashutka Recreation Center at Griggs Reservoir and needs to service this facility with electricity. The City entered into a contract with the Ohio Power Company, an Ohio corporation doing business as American Electric Power (“AEP”), in order to service electricity to the Lashutka Recreation Center. AEP requests an electric utility service easement to burden a portion of Griggs Reservoir in order to install certain electric facilities and associated appurtenances to service the Lashutka Recreation Center with electrical energy and impulses (“Easement”). Finance reviewed and supports granting AEP the Easement in consideration that the Easement is exclusively for the benefit and a prerequisite for providing electric utility services to the Lashutka Recreation Center at Griggs Reservoir.
