Explanation
Background: The City desires to convey to the State of Ohio, Department of Transportation (“ODOT”), a 0.008 acre tract of land and to grant two (2) twelve month Temporary Easements in, on, over, under, across, and through a portion of City-owned real property located along Jackson Pike in the vicinity of the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant, Columbus, Ohio 43223 [Franklin County Tax Parcel 010-095230] (collectively “Real Estate”). ODOT will use the Property, which is more fully described within the ten (10) page attachment to this legislation, for construction and improvements associated with ODOT’s [FRA-104-7.57] project (“Project”). The City’s Departments of Finance and Management and Public Utilities reviewed the request and determined that the Real Estate requested by ODOT to complete its Project should be granted and that the City should charge ODOT One Thousand Ten and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($1,010.00), as determined by ODOT’s appraisal. Therefore, the following legislation authorizes the City’s Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents, as approved by the Columbus City Attorney Real Estate Division, to convey the property and grant the easements to ODOT to complete the Project.
Fiscal Impact: The City’s receipt of the One Thousand Ten and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($1,010) from ODOT will be deposited within the Sewer Operating Fund, Fund number 6100.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to not delay the benefit to the City resulting from ODOT’S Project, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
