Explanation
Background: The City owns real property located along East Main Street between Park Drive and Alum Creek Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43205, [Franklin County Tax Parcel 010-087662], (“Property”), which is managed by the Department of Finance and Management (“Finance”). The City of Bexley, Ohio (“Bexley”), is requesting a nonexclusive perpetual utility easement on a 0.0110 acre portion of the Property (“Easement”). Bexley will use the Easement, which is more fully described in the two (2) page attachment to this legislation, for construction and improvements associated with the Bexley Signals Interconnect [PID 99789] project (“Project”). The City’s Departments of Finance and Management and Public Utilities reviewed the request and determined that the Easement requested by Bexley to complete its Project should be granted and that the City should charge Bexley Two Thousand Two Hundred and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,200.00), as determined by an appraisal. Therefore, the following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents, as approved by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, to grant a nonexclusive utility Easement to Bexley to complete the Project.
Fiscal Impact: The City’s receipt of the Two Thousand Two Hundred and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,200.00), from Bexley will be deposited within the Sewer System Operating Fund.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to not delay the benefit to the City resulting from Bexley’s project, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety, and welfare.
